Chapter 14!

First off, I'd like to answer some of the reviews I've gotten.

Dear Nekozuki114,

Naughty? I'm not sure; I have yet to decide whether or not I make this a lemony story in anyway. So, probably not in this chapter; however, it's possible for later chapters. I've been thinking maybe I'll keep this one clean, for the most part, and make a special uncut version for all the perverts out there! n.n As for Kagome's choice, you'll just have to wait and see!

Dear AGreatPenName,

Dear Ravona,

Probably not in this chapter, as for future chapters I remain undecided. As I replied to Nekozuki114, "I've been thinking maybe I'll keep this one clean, for the most part, and make a special uncut version for all the perverts out there! n.n" Thank you very much for your review!

Inukochan

Thank you all for your reviews! It's greatly appreciated!

Chapter Summary:

The time has come! The full moon is only days away. Will Kagome die, or does Kyou have one last trick up her sleeve? Who will Kagome choose, Inuyasha or Kouga? The potion makes it possible and Kagome must decide before it's too late!

Warning: Chapter Has A Surprise Ending!

---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------

What about Inuyasha? Kagome's Choice!

---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------

Kagome moaned heatedly as Kouga traced a trail from her hip to her bra with one clawed hand. Her torn up shirt had been lazily thrown to the side and Kouga couldn't figure out the bra so was improvising by teasing her through it. His right hand cupped the flesh and his thumb lazily brushed over where her nipple would be; he could feel it hardening beneath the strange cloth. His left hand was supporting her head as he lapped at her neck. All the while Kagome was running her fingers through the wolf's long locks and playfully using her free hand to trace around the edge of his ear.

As Kouga was about to remove the strange green cloth that covered Kagome's, ahem, lower areas, Kagome's ministrations on the wolf stopped and she found her voice, "Kouga, wait…"

Kouga growled and replied in a husky tone; "Kagome, please, I don't think I can stop myself now…" he gently nipped at the nape of her neck, silently hoping that she didn't want him to stop.

The miko pushed herself up, lightly pushing Kouga away, "Please Kouga, I'm sorry, but I-I just can't do this…" she looked away as though ashamed of what she was about to say, "I'm so sorry. But it just wouldn't be fair to do this now…I still have feelings for Inuyasha."

Kouga blinked and internally scowled, "I see…" he got up from his position over her and slowly started making his way back the way he had come from, only to be stopped.

"Wait!" Kagome leaned over intent on grabbing his hand, though she ended up missing and falling flat on her face grabbing his ankle instead. 'So much for grace…' She thought to herself sourly. "Please don't go Kouga…" She pushed herself up onto her knees, hands now resting on his calf. "It's true, I still have feelings for Inuyasha, but I have feelings for you too…and I just-I just don't know what to do anymore…" she sighed and rested her head on his hip, praying he wouldn't leave her.

Kouga sighed, he really did hate seeing her depressed, he pushed away any inappropriate thoughts that arose from the position they were in and lowered himself to her level, "Kagome…It's alright." He held her frame in his masculine arms in attempt to calm her once more, "I can understand if you don't feel ready. I love you, I'd never think of rushing you, but, I want you to love me, and only me. It would kill me to find out that you'd prefer the mutt."

Kagome nuzzled her face deeper into his chest, inhaling his scent that she loved so much, "I sorry…I can't help the way I feel…but please, can you just stay with me? I don't want to be alone right now." she could feel him nod and pull her body closer. She was seated in between his legs; he was almost completely circled around her frame, as though he was shielding her.

A rustle was heard then soon after a loud 'thump' and a 'damnit', the two looked over where the sound had come from seeing the healer, who had as it appeared fallen out of a near by tree.

"Kyou-kun? What are you doing here?" Kagome blinked, a bit surprised, she didn't know anyone else was around.

"Well, I was watching you claw at each other until this squirrel demon-thing attacked me…"

Kouga cringed at the mention of a demon squirrel; he still remembered his own encounter from chapter two.

Kagome blushed deeply; some had actually been watching them? "K-Kyou-kun! Why were you spying on us?"

"I wasn't spying, I was just watching you in order to gather information in secret!"

"That's the same thing! And what information would you get from watching us anyway?"

Kyou closed her eyes and allowing a faint smile to cross her features, "You wouldn't want to know…"

Kouga and Kagome's right eyes both twitched in sync with each other. A long silence passed through until Kouga broke it, "You sick perverted bitch! You're as bad as that damned monk!"

"Honestly Kou-kun! I'm offended that you think of me that way. You completely miss understand what I meant. I wanted to gather information and you wouldn't want to know about it due to the fact that involves the full moon and the potion Kagome had taken."

"What?" Kagome was angry and happy all at once, angry because Kyou had been watching them, but happy that there may be more to know about the aphrodisiac. 'What did you find out? Of course I want to know!"

Any thoughts of romantic happenings that may have still remained in Kouga and Kagome's minds were now gone as they listened intently to what Kyou had to say.

"Well, if you must know, I did some research and I may have found a loop hole to the whole 'die if you don't screw by the full moon' thing." She paused as though giving it more drama, "If you mix the aphrodisiac with a different potion it can a different affect. The aphrodisiac is fully set into your body, so if the other potion were to get into the blood stream, you'd be safe; under one condition anyway." the healer smirked her traditional that-can't-be-good smirk.

"Oh god… If I take the potion, I live and don' have to mate, but something else has to happen? It can't be good; you're smirking! What do I have to do, french kiss a freakin' muddy pig!" Kagome's patience was wearing horribly thin, obviously, but it would only get thinner.

"Oh of course not! Kagome-chan, it's much worse!" Kyou smiled sweetly and spoke in a high-pitched friendly/girly voice…that was just creepy, mind you.

"This really isn't something I want to know, is it?"

"I'll just tell you and get it over with. While the aphrodisiac in you now works off of emotions and thought patterns the potion you can take works off of emotions and verbal declarations. In other words, you could take the potion and make your choice verbally."

"Make her choice?" Kouga raised an eyebrow at this.

"Yes, as of now, Kagome is torn between you and Inuyasha. With the other potion all she would need to do to live is make her choice verbally. However…" she paused hearing a gulp from Kagome and 'oh shit' from Kouga. "Once the declaration is made there's no going back. Your heart Kagome will never be able to stray away from whom you've chosen. This potion is used on newly weds to ensure the spouses never stray out of the relationship and so full trust is guaranteed."

"I have to what?" Kagome placed her head in her hands, 'this is so stressing!' 'All right, so…"

"So, you have three choices, take the new potion and be bound to one man, dieing, or screwing Kouga and returning to normal."

Kagome groaned in frustration, "Isn't there a fourth option?"

"Sorry, Kagome dear, I tried, but I just couldn't find any other loopholes that could be worked with."

Kagome sighed exhausted from the new information as Kouga held her. Then something terribly off subject came to mind, "Wait…Kyou-kun, what ever happened to trying to get you to your brother's home?"

Kagome didn't like the answer given to her, "What brother?"

She nearly choked on air as she sputtered in confusion, "What do you mean 'what brother?'? The brother we were helping you get to, the brother that you were going to live with!"

"Oh him! He died a long time ago." Kyou smiled as though there was nothing wrong here.

Kouga's eye twitched, 'I knew it…'

"Died? So, so you lied? What about your nephews and your sister-in-law that you always talked about?"

"Lets see, sister is buried with brother and the kids…I forget how they died, it was either from fighting in a war or by the yakuza."

"Geh…" the poor miko was now reduced to a pile of twitching schoolgirl, "Wait…died while fighting in a war? They'd be too young, you always spoke as if they were years younger than you!"

"They were. I mean come on, they were only 17 and 19!"

Kouga was now twitching with Kagome, "So…how old are you? You look that age if not younger…"

"I'm 59 going on 60! Yes I look good for my age I know." Kyou smiled brightly as Kouga and Kagome twitched, "Those health potions really work ya know! Like the fountain of youth!"

'Damn…she's almost as old as me…' Kouga reasoned with himself silently as the stress from the evening's happenings caught up to Kagome and knocked her out. Soon after Kouga jumped up, after hearing a certain unnamed…oh healer…scream 'arg, demon squirrel!' and smacked his head against a thick branch thoroughly knocking him out as well.

Kyou looked at the two unconscious forms in front of her and said quietly to herself, "Say 'no' if you don't want me to inform Inuyasha of this meeting, and if you wish to make your choice in the morning and have Inuyasha know, go to sleep." Kyou smirked gleefully, obviously, proud of her handy work, as she gave Kagome some of the potion that would work after a verbal declaration. She then skipped off to find the little hanyou.

Morning came and Kagome awoke to find herself in a very compromising position. She was in her sleeping back, shirt still torn and on the forest floor, only now, someone was missing, Kouga. He was now in the sleeping bag with her. She 'eeped' and flushed embarrassed by the situation.

Kouga soon after woke up, also surprised by the awkwardness. Someone most unexpected broke the silence.

"Kagome?" there stood Inuyasha, barely ten feet away in a state of shock, "so… it's true…"

"I-Inuyasha?" Kagome gasped out, 'when did he get here? Oh this must look so wrong!' "Inuyasha, I can…"

"Don't bother. Kyou already told me everything."

'Kyou…when is that wench ever going to stop?' Kouga sniffed the air slightly, if Kyou had planned this then she was most likely around to see it play out. And there was the scent. He growled deeply and looked in one direction, "Kyou…"

Kyou stepped out from her hiding place, smiling, "Hey yo, Kou-kun! Congrats, ya found me!"

"What the hell is going on?" the ookami leader glared menacingly at the woman.

"Why it's time for Kagome-chan to make her choice of course!"

Kagome looked at her skeptically, "What do you mean? I never took the potion."

"Just because you didn't take it, doesn't mean it couldn't have been given to you."

Kagome gasped at Kyou's explanation, "You didn't!"

"I did. It's now or never Kagome, this will never end if you don't make a decision."

Kagome gulped in a breath of air and released it, 'Kyou's right, this will ever end…unless I take the chance of not choosing or anything and die…I-I have to pick…Inuyasha or Kouga?'

The miko took in one finale breath, "All right…if that's the case…then I choose…"

Inuyasha and Kouga both leaned in to listen, even though with their hearing they'd hear anyway. Kyou only watched, looking pleased yet unexcited.

"I choose…" Kagome obviously hadn't made up her mind yet…

For a brief moment Inuyasha's attention strayed from the situation as he caught a familiar scent coming towards them.

"I choose!" Kagome's declaration was cut off as a demon with silver hair, golden eyes, and a white fluffy tail/boa thing landed in the area catching her attention as well as everyone else's, "Sesshoumaru?" as soon as the name left her mouth Kagome covered it… What had she just done?

Inuyasha and Kouga however, could only twitch and think to themselves, 'hell no…'

And of course, all dear Kyou could do was laugh. How mean!
