PART TWO

Kouga was wigging out. He had the mutt clinging to his arm like a woman devoted and adoring. It was…. it was unnatural!

That's what it was!

It was unnatural!

InuYasha and Kouga did not get along. They were rivals. There were reasons why they didn't love each other. One of those reasons, well, Kouga was in love with Kagome.

InuYasha's low growl began to grow louder as Kagome tried to come near him and Kouga. It was raw and possessive. It was an alpha warning his rival.

"Stay away"

"Mine"

This could get deadly, thought Kouga uneasily.

Kouga's nose kept getting whiffs of an unusually tantalizing scent coming from the half-breed. The fragrance, aroma, was almost intoxicating and it was growing stronger. There was something enhancing InuYasha's appeal, something not natural of his rival's natural body scents.

This was a potion of some sort intermixing with InuYasha's growing mating drive.

"Kagome, step back." Commanded Sango. "Something's not right with InuYasha. He will hurt you."

Kagome laughed weakly at Sango's warning. "This is InuYasha, Sango, he won't hurt me. He could never hurt me. We're friends."

"Friends in love with the same man." muttered Miraku, having witnessed such catastrophes before. He knew he had to get the girls to safety, getting involved in such matters was not healthy for anyone. The more space and distance they had from the demons the better they all would be.

"Don't be ridiculous. InuYasha doesn't love Kouga, they're rivals." Insisted Kagome, ignorantly. "Rivals for my affections." She said trying hard not to sound pleased or flattered by such things but it wasn't every day that a girl got fought over in the modern world.

Kouga's face showed his growing concern. "Kagome, I think Sango and the Monk may be right. I didn't think the mutt was quite old enough yet but it looks like he's going into heat. Puppy'll need to mate soon, very soon."

InuYasha's ears swiveled from his adored to his hated rival. His ears flattened miserably to his scalp every time his beloved called him names. He let a little whimper out and aimed a very heart rendering face at Kouga.

"Stop insulting me." InuYasha growled. "I love you. I want you. I need you. But I won't put up with your insults. Can't you see how your cruel words hurt my feelings?!" Tears glittered in his large golden eyes.

Kouga felt something in his chest begin to hurt. What the hell was happening to him? This is InuYasha his distress shouldn't faze me. Thought Kouga, in growing horror. I should be happy that he's hurt by my words. I do not have any interest in mating with him. I have only interest in Kagome.

"How can you be so cruel to the one who loves you most and above all else?" asked InuYasha tears leaking from his large golden orbs.

Kagome tried to take a step to InuYasha's side to try and comfort her friend but in a blink of an eye, tears turned to snarling growls and a swiping of claws. She was lucky he didn't emit poison like his brother Sesshomorou through his claws otherwise the little cut he managed to inflict on her would have turned her wounding fatal.

Kagome gasped in pain then screamed. "SIT Boy!"

InuYasha yelped and was dragged by heavy gravity to the dirt and rocky ground. Kouga snarled and attacked InuYasha for harming Kagome.

InuYasha let out a high pitched screaming yelp and flattened himself to the ground showing throat and belly to Kouga. He wanted to court Kouga and entice Kouga. He wanted Kouga to fall in love with him as he had fallen in love with Kouga. He didn't want to fight his adored one.

Kouga growled low and warning. "Don't hurt Kagome."

InuYasha whimpered pitifully. Tears overflowed. "I love you."

Kouga's eyes showed pity. His face was a mask of compassion. "I know."

He turned a helpless look to Kagome.

"Whatever you gave him, I think it might have backfired on you." Kouga warned.

Having Kouga's attentions turned to Kagome made InuYasha once more start to growl and snarl. As he tried to attack Kagome again Kouga grabbed him mid launch. Wrapping his strong arms tightly around InuYasha.

Kagome was for the meantime forgotten as InuYasha felt his brains turn to mush. He paused in his attacks long enough to melt into the arms of the hunk that he loved. InuYasha's eyes were half lidded, partly closed, his body turned rather slinky and boneless leaning entirely into Kouga's body and what little brain power he had left was geared entirely to and only for Kouga.

Entice the alpha get him to love you. Make him scent you and remember you. Overpower his sense of scent with all that you are. Make him imprint and pattern you in to his mind. Drive him into your arms with your heat. He wont resist for long. Encouraged InuYoukai.

Kouga tried to ignore the blitzed Hanyou in his arms. He figured as long as InuYasha was in his arms the half breed wouldn't try to kill Kagome. For the love of his woman Kouga would endure the Hanyou's touch.

She tried to hide her look of guilt but it wasn't fast enough.

"Wolf nose." Explained Kouga. "I can smell it on him."

"He was moody. I was only trying to help him." Insisted Kagome.

"I believe you." Said Kouga. "I think for right now it would be best if you and your pack were to leave while I deal with InuYasha."

InuYasha looked at him with love and adoration and growing hope. Did this mean Kouga would mate him? InuYasha yipped happily and licked Kouga's chin and neck. Kouga shuddered. Repulsed and yet InuYasha's scent was so enticing.

"How long should we stay away?" asked Miroku sensibly.

"Until I send for you." Replied Kouga. "I couldn't begin to tell you when this side effect wares off. I've never dealt with anything like this before. I can't even hazard a guess when this stuff will wear off. If InuYasha had not been a Hanyou I doubt these mood enhancers calming stuff whatever it was would have affected him to this degree, but since he is a Hanyou and since he's entered first heat, its mind boggling. I couldn't even begin to calculate when it will wear off not that my calculation skills are much to boast of, but I'm sure you get my drift here." (okay, yes, I'm going for a little smarter wolf boy, not entirely cannon I know but somehow a smart Kouga just fits in with this story.)

The group nodded. Kagome looked upset and guilt riddled. But in the end the group kept their distance from InuYasha while leaving Kouga to deal with the crazed in heat Inu-demon on his own.

o.o-InuKo-o.o-InuKo-o.o-InuKo-o.o-

InuYasha was always glomping on to him. Clinging to his arm or when he was thrown to

the floor all dignity gone, he'd cling to Kouga's leg like a barnacle. He rubbed his scent wherever he could. He tried to mark his territory but Kouga wouldn't let him.

InuYasha warned all potential rivals off with that growl of his and if that didn't work then there was wind reaper-soul stealer and any number of other defensive offensive deadly moves that Kouga managed to just barely miss being hit by when he was trying to calm the feral InuYasha down.

InuYasha would be a worthy mate. He couldn't help thinking. InuYasha was strong and devoted. He looked after Kouga first and then the others by extension if Kouga asked him to.

Kouga was uncomfortable being InuYasha's soul world. None of this was right.

But InuYasha was beautiful.

InuYasha was strong.

InuYasha was worthy.

InuYasha called to his blood and to his demon side like no other.

InuYasha made him breathless.

Some of their fights became more vicious definite dominance submission fights, potential mating fights, fights that left them both shaken and close to breaking. Kouga was near his limits. He couldn't take this for much longer.

InuYasha's scent.

The fights!

InuYasha's crazy mood swings and near feral need to mate. He was worse than a bitch in heat.

And he drove Kouga ever closer to the edge.

Even more disconcerting was the sexual charge Kouga was getting out of just being in InuYasha's presence. He had to fight his hands from grabbing InuYasha's rear-end or grinding his erection into the mutt. It was damned embarrassing and horrifying that InuYasha turned him on and called to him so strongly. It was that scent that was driving them both mad. Whatever Kagome had given the Hanyou it was doing a number on them both. Their inner demons were crazed by the potion and drawn heavily to one another.

Kouga had to fight it. He had to keep true to his heart but it was so hard with his instincts screaming at him to take InuYasha andInuYasha screaming the same things out loud in his face.

"Take me! I'm yours! Mate with me, my love!" cried InuYasha trying to tackle Kouga on to the nearest bed or pile of leaves they would come across. InuYasha was sneaky. Kouga knew InuYasha had piled those leaves under that tree for a romantic tumble but Kouga wasn't going to fall for it. He was stronger than InuYasha right now and he could take whatever the little devil mutt threw at him.

I don't love InuYasha! I love Kagome. I don't want to mate InuYasha! He's a hanyou. He's filth. He's part human. He whined, desperately.

Oh, like that's a good argument! Accused his conscience. You pant for Kagome and she's fully human. What do you think your children will be if she bears you any? They too will be Hanyou, like InuYasha and possibly unlike InuYasha they may be weaker in strength than the Inu Hanyou.

Such damned confusion! Why did InuYasha have to go and take that stupid love potion?!
