The Choices We Make

Disclaimer: I didn’t invent these people.

SORRY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE REVIEW CHANGES. AND HERE I WAS THINKING THAT NO ONE LIKED THE UPDATE. OK, NOW REVIEW AND VOTE

Well, here’s the update. Would have had it hear sooner, but what can I say, life. Anyways, this is still unedited so review and let me know if you find any mistakes. Or just review and let me know what you think.

Well, it doesn’t Tickle

The day hadn’t turned out well for Inuyasha; it went sour not long after he woke up. Carrying some borrowed clothes and some food, he had proceeded directly to Koga’s hut intent upon speaking with the wolf. About what exactly, he didn‘t know. Lately, almost every time he opened his mouth to speak nothing came out but stutters and half-formed words. He just didn’t know what to say about all this.

Never in his wildest dreams did had he imagined himself in the position of master to Koga. Kick his ass? Sure. Insult him? Oh yeah. But to suddenly have the wolf in such a vulnerable state was beyond Inuyasha’s comprehension. Nope, he just didn’t know what to say, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to try.

However, once he entered the wolves shelter any possible conversation he had thought of died instantly. For what seemed like an eternity, Inuyasha could only stare as Ginta, Hakkaku, and Koga slept on in a rather compromising position. From the expression on Koga’s face, the hanyou could tell that the pet enjoyed having two warm bodies pressed against his skin.

Slowly, as if possessed, Inuyasha watched as his hand reached out and gently pulled the blanket from the sleeping wolves.

Eyes wide and heart racing, he gaped at Koga’s aroused form. Inuyasha was startled by the affect this had on him; feelings of lust and…jealously? Why the hells would I be jealous of this!? But as he continued to look on, a voice- almost a growl- whispered a single-word answer into his brain…MINE.

Just at that moment, Koga stirred slightly. Seeing that he was about to wake, Inuyasha dropped the bundle he was carrying and quickly retreated; trying to ignore the growing need between his legs.


*****

Things did not get any better. In fact, one could say that they got worse.

By the time Inuyasha made it to the villages local hot springs he was almost painfully erect. Try as he might, the image of Koga naked and the inhuman scent of his arousal burned inside the hanyou.

Quickly disrobing, Inuyasha dove into the warm water; intending to relieve himself right there. As he pleasured himself with his hand, his heart began to fill with guilt and shame. He should be thinking of Kagome or Kikyo, but it was Koga who had brought him to this point. Koga who his desire thirsted for.

Closing his eyes, Inuyasha imagined the wolf laying before him. Calling him “master” and begging him to complete the binding. Never before had Inuyasha wanted to cum and sob at the same time.

The Inu was so focused on finishing that he failed to notice that both Miroku and Shippou were also using the hot springs; at least until he opened his eyes. Luckily Miroku was far too busy trying to remain hidden while he spied on the bathing Sango to note Inuyasha’s actions. Shippou, on the other hand, immediately swam over to the hanyou and demanded to know how he “made himself” so big.

Instead of answering Inuyasha dunked the kitsune, jumped out of the water and headed deep into the forest after grabbing his belongings. He spent the rest of the morning extremely frustrated.

Making his way toward his tree, hoping to get enough privacy to “finish”, he couldn’t help but curse when he found Kagome waiting for him.

“Inuyasha, I wanted to talk to you before I went home.”

Surprised, Inuyasha turned to face her. “Why are you going back? Not more tests?”

“No, no. We’ve used up all of my medical supplies and I need to get more. I should be back by tomorrow morning.” She paused, uncertain if she wanted to continue. “Have you thought at all about what we discussed?”

Inuyasha sighed, he hadn’t wanted to revisit their last conversation. “I still can’t believe you would even suggest such a thing. Do you have any idea of what it means? Of what we would be giving up?”

Looking directly into her eyes he continued. “And even if I wanted to, what about Koga? He wouldn’t allow it, I’d probably have to force it on him. Kagome…you and I…we…

“I know,” she said sadly. “this seems wrong on so many levels; I hate it. But Koga is our friend and if this works he could at least be happy, even if…” she couldn’t finish; she was so upset.

“Look, I’m leaving now, but I promise to be back early tomorrow and then maybe all three of us could talk about it.” Heading toward the well, Kagome jumped over the edge and without looking back, she left.

Inuyasha stood silently under his tree for a few moments. He had his privacy now, but for some reason was no longer “in the mood”. He felt tormented. He didn’t like being pushed in any direction and now it seemed that everyone was pushing him to make some kind of action regarding Koga.

I didn’t ask for this to happen DAMMIT! Everyone just shut the fuck up!

*****

The hanyou couldn’t catch a break. The day started bad and it stayed that way. Returning to the village he attempted to speak with Kaede only to have her call him an “ungrateful dog” and throw him out of her home. True she had been helping to deliver a baby, but that was besides the point. The villagers had wisely given Inuyasha his space but whispered behind his back as he passed; which irritated him even more.

His demonic half was also making its feelings known. Inuyasha could sense that it was all but demanding Koga’s obedience (making the Inu want to punch his own head). To top it all off, Koga and his companions had disappeared. Upon discovering this, he spent the rest of the day and part of the evening searching. He was just beginning to worry that Naraku had somehow managed to sneak in and kidnap them, he came across their scent and followed it. Back to the village.

Entering the small living area, the Inu hanyou found the three wolves sitting around a fire; eating and talking.

“Oi, Inuyasha.” Koga said still feeling good from his early activities with Ginta and Hakkaku. “Thanks for letting me use this. Here you go.” Koga casually tossed the Fire Rat Robe at Inuyasha’s feet.

Inuyasha looked down at his beloved clothing. It was rumpled and had bits of dried mud and grass on it. Instantly, his demonic nature flared. How dare Koga treat him with such disrespect?! He had saved the wolf’s life, treated his wounds and helped him in every way he knew how. And all Koga could say is “thanks”?

Marching up to Koga, Inuyasha pointed a claw at him and said, “Come on Koga, we need to have a talk!” and turned and left.

*****
(A quick catch up on Koga)

The rest of day passed without incident. Koga learned from Shippo that Kagome had returned to her world and that Inuyasha was in a fowl mood over some argument they had had.

Koga couldn’t help but speculate on what the argument had been about. From the little pieces he had heard yesterday, it sounded like Kagome was encouraging Inuyasha to complete the binding ritual. The thought of Kagome wanting such a thing stung and he didn’t want to believe it. He understood that Kagome had never shared his deeper feelings, but he had always been confident that he would eventually win her over. However, the humiliation of the past few days had dashed those plans. He had hoped that Kagome would have found a way to remove his collar and free him, but if she had already given up and actually wanted Inuyasha to mount him...I can’t believe that she actually thinks that’s the best option for me but what else could they have been fighting about?

As the day turned to evening and then to night; most of the villagers could be seen preparing for a good, long sleep. Finally, it appeared that only those in the wolves’ hut were still awake.

The wolves had just said good night to Miroku, Sango, and a sleeping Shippo when a fuming Inuyasha entered.

Without so much as a “thank you” for getting his hitoe back, Inuyasha angrily said that he wanted to talk and walked out.

Koga hesitated as he watched the hanyou depart and didn’t move until Ginta nudged him.

“Go on Koga, we’ll have a warm spot waiting for you when you get back.”

“But what if he wants to…” the pet didn’t want to finish.

“Then there is nothing we can do to stop him, but you said he didn’t want to make you his pet so that probably isn’t it. Just go find out and we’ll be here waiting.” Ginta said, giving him a soft push.

Taking a deep breath, Koga stood up and followed Inuyasha. By the time he caught up to the hanyou they had already left the village and were just entering the forest when they stopped.

“Alright Inuyasha. What did you want to talk about and why did we have to come all the way-”

“Where were you today?!” the fuming Inu interrupted.

A little taken aback by the aggression in Inuyasha’s voice, Koga actually stuttered when he answered. “W-we went the river to bathe. What’s the problem?”

“What’s the problem? You didn’t come to me first; you just up and left. I had to spend the entire day looking for you. Not to mention that Naraku could have found you, ya stupid dumbass!”

Koga found it more than a little annoying that Inuyasha was expecting him to “ask permission” before doing anything. Biting his tongue, he stopped himself from responding with a particularly nasty insult. The truth was, a part of him agreed with the Inu demon; he should have told Inuyasha where he was going. Though he was still too proud to come out and admit his mistake, Koga did try to apologize.

“Look, I’m sorry. I didn’t think-”

Far from pacified, Inuyasha gave the wolf his classic ‘keh!’ and leaned in so close their noses were inches apart. “Damn right you didn’t think! No wonder Naraku wanted you as a pet; should just wear a sign on your back that says ‘I’m easy’.”

Now that was a low blow. Deep down Koga knew that Inuyasha was just worried about him (though lacked the ability to express it properly) but at the moment the wolf didn’t really care.

“Better Naraku’s pet than some filthy, mongrel dogs!”

For a moment Inuyasha saw only red. The stress and experiences of the past few days came crashing through and his demon half would not be stopped this time. “You’ll regret saying that!” he half growled.

Koga already did; as soon as the words had left his mouth in fact. Inuyasha had done so much to help him and he responded with the worse slight he could think of. Lowering his eyes to the ground in shame, he once more attempted to apologize. But before he could utter a single syllable, he was yanked off his feet by two strong arms.

“You dare say that to me? ME? I’ll show you.” came a voice Koga almost didn’t recognize as Inuyasha’s.

Having lived most of his life in a world of ‘kill or be killed’, Inuyasha knew of only one punishment for bad behavior. Something he knew from his early childhood.

Sitting on the remains of a fallen tree, the hanyou pulled Koga across his lap and roughly jerked the wolf’s hakama down to his knees. Raising a clawed hand high into the air, he began to rain down several hard strikes onto Koga’s exposed ass.

Still attempting to apologize, it took Koga a moment to comprehend what was happening to him.

He was being spanked!

Spanked like a naughty pup that disobeyed its’ parents. His bewilderment only lasted until the pain hit. Inuyasha was really putting his arm into it; each smack hurt worse than the last one. He wanted to move, to struggle, but his body was paralyzed. He wondered, between hits, if part of him was determined to take this punishment. At least his mouth worked. What started as a few small yelps soon turned to pain-filled cries.

“Inuyasha, stop it! Inuyasha, please stop!”

But Inuyasha didn’t stop. It’s like he can’t even hear me.

Inuyasha didn’t hear Koga. In fact the silver-haired demon didn’t even know what he doing. His youkai had taken charge and as far as it was concerned, punishing a disobedient pet was perfectly normal.

*SMACK*

*SMACK*

*SMACK*

“Please stop.” Koga was now sobbing, having lost track of how many spanks he had received. “Puh-please MASTER, stop!”

Being called *master* was enough to bring Inuyasha back to his senses.

“Wha…what?” he said looking down almost surprised to see Koga laying over his lap. What have I done? Fuck, I lost control again.

“Koga, I’m sorry. I couldn’t contr…I didn’t realize what I was doing.” Inuyasha winced at his own words. It sounded like a poor excuse in his head, speaking it made it just plain lame.

Blinking back tears, Koga tried to get a firm grip on his own voice. “It’s okay, I shouldn’t have said those things. I don’t have the right.”

“Hey, listen to me.” came a stern reply. “You have the right to say whatever the hell you want to say. I was wrong to punish you; I said I didn’t want a pet and I meant it. I just…I lost control and I’m not even really sure why.”

It was a moment before Koga said anything.

“I don’t blame you, you know.” He said as he unconsciously wrapped his arms around one of Inuyasha’s legs. “It’s all because of Naraku. We wouldn’t be in this situation if it was for that bastard. We probably wouldn’t have ever met. Damn him!”

Inuyasha sat quietly listening to Koga curse Naraku; still ashamed of himself. Lowering his eyes he surveyed the damage he had done to the wolf’s rear. It looked almost raw; blood was beginning to flow from a number of small wounds.

Shit. I punctured the skin with my claws. I can’t believe I did this…I need to do something.

Koga knew he should move from the humiliating position he was in but he didn’t want to. The pain he felt now would be nothing once he started moving.

I can’t lay here, bare-assed, on Inuyasha’s lap forever. Maybe he could carry me bac--What the?!?

His thoughts had been interrupted by the sensation of something soft and wet caressing his butt. Is that…? Inuyasha is licking me!

“Inuyasha, what are you going?”

“Shhhh” the hanyou said as he paused in mid-lick. “I’m trying to help you.”

To Koga’s continued bewilderment, it did seem to be helping. The pain faded and was slowly being replaced by a warm pleasant feeling. Very pleasant. Koga’s face went red at the realization that his body was responding to Inuyasha. His body temperature soared, his heart pounded in his chest, and his hardening member was now rubbing against Inuyasha’s thigh. Completely embarrassed, he prayed that the Inu wouldn’t notice.

The half-demon in question was currently focused on the task in front of him. As he ran his tongue over the well formed cheeks, Inuyasha smiled as he saw the broken skin mend and the cuts vanish. But instead of ceasing he continued to lick. The taste of Koga’s blood and the smell of his body was overpowering. Inuyasha wanted more. It was then that he felt the wolf’s arousal pressing into his leg. Without thinking, he pushed Koga’s hakama further down his legs and moved assist the pet with his ‘little’ problem.

Cautiously, Inuyasha reached between Koga’s thighs (caressing the twin sacks as he went), grasped the hard cock and began to stroke it.

The attention that Inuyasha giving to Koga’s ass was now well beyond pleasant. Koga’s heart raced as he enjoyed the hanyou’s tongue and hot breath against his skin. Tightening his arms around Inuyasha’s leg to hold himself steady, the wolf could only moan when a hand started to pump his erection; making him squirm and drip in a matter of moments.


Inuyasha was now licking so fast it made his tongue hurt. But he wasn’t going to stop; he couldn’t stop now. The wolf filled every one of his senses; he probably knew Koga better and than anyone now.

Inuyasha’s hand, now slick with precum, glided easily up and down the stiff member. The sounds of Koga’s moans gave the hanyou an extraordinary sensation of dominance. Koga would cum, but only because Inuyasha allowed him to.

Moving his tongue toward the center of Koga’s ass, Inuyasha was soon diving deeper and deeper between the muscular buttocks.

Don’t stop! Koga silently begged. Bite me, spank me again! Just don’t stop licking! I’m so close.

Koga couldn’t stand it anymore; he was almost feverishly hot. He was recklessly humping Inuyasha now; desperate for his own release. But it wasn’t until he felt the Inu’s tongue lightly dip into his hole that he lost it.

It was as if an explosion had gone off in his mind and then spread throughout his body. He started to buck wildly on Inuyasha’s lap as he sprayed his seed onto the ground. Wave after wave of pleasure rolled over him; he howled so loudly that he was sure that the village had heard him.

Finally, after several minutes, Koga went completely limp. His energy had been completely spent on the most intense orgasm of his life.

Inuyasha fell back against the fallen tree, panting heavily. He hadn’t known that a person could get winded from using his tongue. Running the appendage over his lips he silently wondered if he had sprained it. Another problem lay between his legs. He was so hard, he was straining against his pants; he really needed some relief.

Koga, too, had realized this. Without thinking or waiting for permission, he slide to the ground between Inuyasha’s legs and began to loosen the Inu’s clothing. It wasn’t long before a hard, leaking cock sprang free into the cool night air.

“Koga, you don’t have to-WHOA…” was all that Inuyasha could get out as Koga took the head of his penis into his mouth. The hanyou had to dig his hands into the bark of the tree to keep himself from grabbing Koga’s head and forcing his entire length into the warm mouth. He let out a long, steady whimper as the soft tongue ran over his opening. Oh helllllllls, I won’t last long if he does that again.

Koga was elated that Inuyasha hadn’t stopped him; he really, really wanted to do this. Coiling and uncoiling his tongue around Inu’s member, he sucked harder and deeper until he was pressed against Inuyasha’s lean body. He drew back and then went back down; all the while listening to the moaning coming from above him.

Inuyasha was so close that nothing was going to stop him. Any regrets or second thought had been burned away long ago. Opening his eyes, the sight of Koga buried in his crotch, the wolf’s tail wagging wildly in the soft dirt sent him over the edge.

Taking hold of Koga’s head he pushed him back so that just the head remained in the wolf’s mouth. Shuddering, he came.

Koga was stunned, both by Inuyasha’s sudden release and at the amount of cum that filled his mouth. With the hanyou holding him there, he instinctively swallowed and continued to do so; finding Inuyasha to be very delicious.

Once he was finished, Inuyasha let go of pet’s head, allowing wolf to fall back. It felt as if his muscles had turned to water. He slide down off the log and ended up right on top of Koga.

They stayed like that for what seemed like hours. Just looking into each others’ eyes, not speaking nor thinking. They both smelled of other; they could taste each other and their lips were so close.

Then one of them blinked.

It was just for a moment, but it was enough for them to remember who they were and what was going on.

Inuyasha rolled off Koga and the next minute was filled with sorry attempts to explain what had just happened.

“Well…”
“Yeah…”
“I mean…”
“Uh-huh…”
“It’s just….oh damn.”

Deciding that talking wasn’t going to work, Inuyasha stood and began readjusting his clothing. Koga followed suit but first took the opportunity to check out his rear. He saw that it was slightly red but the pain and cuts were gone.

“I, uh, didn’t know you could do that with your tongue.”

“Huh?! Oh…” came a reply (Inuyasha needing a moment to figure out specifically what the wolf was talking about). “I haven’t had to use it much since Kagome started bringing her medicine. And besides, how many people do you know that would feel comfortable having a dog demon lick them?

“Oh, I guess you’re right.” Koga said while imagining the hanyou holding down a struggling Miroku.

Finally having finished dressing, the pair made their way back to the village. Neither of them even trying to talk.

Once they arrived outside of Koga’s shelter, the wolf stopped and turned to face Inuyasha.

“Inuyasha, you could have finished it, the binding I mean. Why didn’t you?

“Keh! How many times do I have to tell your dumbass? I don’t want a slave and I don’t want a pet. I won’t force anything on you; I’d be like Naraku if I did that. Now get in there and go to bed”

After watching the Inu make a hasty departure, Koga went inside and was immediately confronted by his packmates.

“Koga, what happened?”

“We thought we heard you howling.”

“We were just about to go look for you; is everything okay? Did Inuyasha…?”

Feeling completely exhausted and more than a little confused by tonight’s events, Koga wordlessly disrobed and crawled under a blanket between Hakkaku and Ginta. Closing his eyes, he fell into a very satisfying sleep.


*****

Koga woke early the next morning, finding himself once more sandwiched between Ginta and Hakkaku. Deciding that the previous day’s activities had completely invalidated his bath, he carefully started disentangling himself from the others. Dressing quickly, he left the hut and made his way to the village’s bathing area.

Walking through the forest, he adopted a deliberately slow pace. He felt good this morning and he wanted it to last as long as possible. He understood his mirth was just a byproduct of the whole I’m-a-pet-that-just-pleased-his-master thing but he didn’t care. Nothing was going to spoil his mood.

“Well, it looks like my pet has finally wandered off alone.” came a sinister voice.

Koga’s good mood was gone.

******

Well that’s the update. What do you think? I know many of you were not to thrilled with the idea of Koga being punished. Still think it was a bad idea?

It may be a little longer for the next update because I haven’t finished it. I have a set plan and I’m not changing it but I am curious to see what everyone wants. So here’s a new poll-

1) Koga- Do you think he should remain as a pet for rest of the story?

a) yes- a demon finally mounts him

b) no- they find a way to free him but he still ends up with someone (I have a good idea about the hows and whos)

2) How long should this story be? Should I end it quickly once the main issues have been resolved or should I be like a real writer and add new problems and characters?

a) short

b) long

3) (Not really a poll but still asking) Now that you have a good idea about my writing style, what do you think I should (if I ever do) write about next? I have some thoughts of my own; one-shots and a longer fic but what are your fantasies? Note that just because I’m asking doesn’t mean I’ll write it. I still find it hard to believe that I’m doing this one.


4) And now for a fun one. Koga always seems to be ending up naked when he’s around other people. Is that happening too much?

a) yes

b) no

c) What are ya high or something? Only bad part about Koga being naked is that it’s not happening in front of me!

Ok, gotta run after I answer some reviews so enjoy reading and reviewing. Seriously, review. I get a little rush when I see that review number go up.

Minako- Here it is.

Tenshi Youkai- Yeah, way too many possibilities. Even though I’m handwriting this story I can’t keep up with everything that bounces through my head. Right now, both Inuyasha and Koga are fluctuating when it comes to the whole master/pet relationship. Neither of them wants it, but they can’t deny it either; it’s a part of them. This is especially true for Koga. As you read above, part of him tries to remain this confident, cocky guy but below the surface the pet in him (the desire to submit) is taking over.

Does this update answer most of your questions? They really gave me some ideas about how to deal with certain issues. Koga’s relationship with Kagome for example. I’d completely forgot to mention it.

As for Ginta and Hakkaku, I’m glad you liked the bit about the mating marks. I actually laughed pretty hard myself when image of Ginta showing off his mark jumped into my head, during the middle of one of my classes. Inuyasha won’t be getting angry at them for what they did. They may skirted the line a little but they treated Koga like a pet and didn’t break any of the rules. Bent one or two but didn’t break. If you have anymore questions, just ask.

nomdeplume- Yeah, I couldn’t see Ginta and Hakkaku reacting in any other way. Koga was more than their alpha, he’s their friend.

Zak- Yeah, the friend I’m writing this for said I was red-faced when I wrote that part about carrying Koga. As for punishing them, see my response to Tenshi Youkai’s review. I may consider having foursome but I don’t think they’ll be punished. As demons they had the right to “handle” a pet in such a manner; anything further requires permission. What did you think of this sex scene?

Vampress- yes, I have been know to be wicked when I need to be.

Minako- See my reply to Vampress.

Emdog- Surprise! A spanking.

Inuyasha788- Yeah, I thought it was beyond time for Inuyasha to take charge; it’s what he’s good at. So, did I punish Koga too harshly?
