The Life of a Loincloth (Commission)

An Inuyasha fanfic commissioned by Kayllik.

“You can’t leave,” Inuyasha declared.

“I have exams coming up this week,” Kagome replied as she walked steadily in the direction of the village near the demon well. “I need to get home for a while.”

Inuyasha growled in frustration. Being a half-dog demon, that was his natural reaction to most things. “What about the jewel shards?” he asked. “You’re just going to ignore all the demons running wild out there?”

Kagome was used to his temper and did not bat an eye at his outbursts. She knew returning to the modern world always upset him, but there was no avoiding it. “I’ll be back soon,” she promised. “Besides, there isn’t a dangerous demon left anywhere near us.”

“Kagome!” cried a man from the cliff above them.

They paused and looked up to see a familiar wolf demon silhouetted against the blue sky.

“Koga?” Kagome replied, shading her eyes with her hand.

Inuyasha growled again. “You were saying?” he retorted.

The wolf demon smirked and leapt down from the cliff, landing before them with casual ease. “I thought I smelled you near,” Koga replied. “Such a pleasure to meet with you again.”

“Hello, Koga,” Kagome replied, pleasantly. “Nice to see you, too. Unfortunately, you caught me just as I was leaving, so I have to say goodbye to you both.”

“Wait,” Koga said. “I-”

“Who invited you to this conversation?” Inuyasha butted in.

“Oh, it’s the mutt,” Koga said, sneering at the half-demon. “Are you still pestering sweet Kagome all the time?”

“Why you…” Inuyasha reached for his sword as did Koga. “What makes you think she would be interested in a stinking wolf like you?”

“Stinking!”

“Enough!” Kagome yelled. “You two calm down, right now. I’m happy for Inuyasha’s help in collecting the shards, and I’m not that bothered by Koga’s smell.”

“What ‘smell?’” Koga asked, taking a sniff of his underarm and figuring out what she meant.

“Both of you behave yourselves while I’m away,” she said and smiled. “Goodbye.” She headed down a side path, leaving the two of them alone in their standoff.

“I blame you for putting her into such a foul mood,” Koga said.

“As if,” Inuyasha said. “I might have been able to convince her to hang around if you weren’t here stinking up the place.”

Koga huffed and said, “Fine then. Maybe it is time for me to freshen up. Could you point me to a spring nearby?”

“No,” Inuyasha said. “But, there’s a nice river just over there where you could drown yourself. Go jump in.”

Inuyasha walked off to sulk somewhere private as Koga stood there, trying to decide how best to handle his overpowering musk.

After a little searching, Koga located a perfect hot spring in the hills. He stripped out of his furs and settled in for a soak.

Kagome, meanwhile, had nearly reached the demon well when she sensed a jewel shard in the area. At first, she had thought it was merely the two shards that Koga had in his legs, but there appeared to be a third one, made even more noticeable by Koga’s arrival.

With a sigh, Kagome turned from the well and said, “I could tell Inuyasha, but then he would just start feuding with Koga again. I can’t tell Koga, because he would want to keep the shard for himself. I ought to just check it out by myself first before I even think of involving them. If it looks like something I can handle on my own, then I’ll keep the two of them out of it.”

Kagome hiked up the hills to where she sensed the shards, which led her to the same spring where Koga was bathing. Spotting him there in the water, she took care to remain silent and out of sight as she searched for the shard.

Unfortunately, she discovered that the shard was buried beneath Koga’s clothes. In particular, his loincloth seemed to be covering it up. She found a stick to push the smelly bit of fur aside and had almost picked up the shard when she heard Koga stand up from the spring.

“That ought to do it,” he declared. “I’ll be smelling fresh as the dew the next time I meet with her.”

Kagome ducked down to avoid being seen and in the process lost her balance and fell face first into his loincloth. The shard ended up beneath her chest.

Maybe it was her own priestess abilities acting up in revulsion at his stink or a mysterious magic curse emanating from the hot spring, but some magic activated the shard. In a flash, the offending garment disappeared. Then, as Kagome looked around, trying to figure out where the loincloth had gone, she felt the magic of the shard pierce her chest.

An orb of light formed around Kagome and began to shrink. She tried to scream for help, but her voice was muffled within the orb. Then, she tried to escape it, but the surface proved impenetrable. Moments later, the light had shrunk to cover her body like a layer of magic elastic, evaporating her clothes as it did. Then, it began to compress against her bare flesh, and rather than being crushed, her body reshaped. She felt herself flatten as her hair spread from the top of her head all down the front of her body. Her limbs shrank short and merged with the rest of her body, which was becoming as thin as a blanket.

Then, the changes were complete, and Kagome came to rest on the ground, right beside Koga’s clothes. For a moment, Kagome tried to move or call for help, but no matter what she tried, she could not move at all. She tried to make sense of what had happened to her. What was she now? Why was she covered on one side with brown animal fur? Why was she so flat?

Koga approached. Seeing him standing above her, dripping wet and nude, Kagome tried to speak to him again. ”Koga!” she screamed in her mind. “It’s me, Kagome. Save me, please!”

Koga showed no indication that he could hear her. He just began getting dressed as she lay there, helpless to do anything but watch. To her surprise, he picked her up and hung her from the front of his waist, so that her furry flat body hung down, covering his crotch. It was then that Kagome realized what had happened to her. His loincloth had not just disappeared. It had been replaced. Somehow, the magic of the cursed shard had transformed her into Koga’s loincloth.

Kagome was so stunned by this revelation that she just hung there passively as Koga finished getting dressed. It was only after he stepped out into the sun and began traveling that she was shaken from her stupor. It was his sweat that did it, more specifically, the smell of his sweat. That musk that she had been too polite to openly criticize before was all around her, earthy and pungent. She wished she could cover her nose or move away from him, but she was trapped there, unable to do anything but sense the world around her.

“Koga!” Kagome cried. “I can’t handle the smell. Take me off!”

Koga slid to a halt and looked around curiously, sniffing the air. “Kagome?” he asked. “Where are you?”

“You heard me? Thank goodness!” she cried with joy. “Please, help me.”

“I don’t get it,” he said. “I can’t smell you anywhere.”

“I can sure smell you,” she replied. “I’m hanging from your waist. Look down.”

Koga looked at his clothes and said, “I don’t see you. Have you shrunk? Are you invisible?”

“No,” Kagome replied and hesitated to admit what she had become. “You’re wearing me.”

“What?”

“A jewel shard transformed me into… your loincloth,” she explained with a sigh.

Koga’s hand brushed against Kagome’s pelt body, and she was surprised by how good it felt to have his fingers touch her hairs.

“This is… incredible,” he said. “That’s really you?”

“Yes,” she replied.

Then, she sensed something growing larger against her back. It took a moment for her to realize that he was getting hard.

“Koga,” Kagome said, calmly trying to keep him from getting distracted. “You need to bring me to Inuyasha, so that we can all figure out how to turn me back to normal.”

“Inuyasha?” Koga said. “We don’t need him. I can help you myself.”

She felt him pressing stiffly against her now, rock hard.

“Take me to Inuyasha,” Kagome ordered him. “Now.”

Koga sighed and said, “If that is your wish…” Then, he ran off, back toward the village.

All of that exertion was making him sweat even more, and Kagome felt herself becoming soaked with his musky odor. Somehow, though, the longer she was forced to suffer through the stench, the less it seemed to bother her. At first, it had made her ill. Then, she began to tolerate it. Now, it felt almost natural to her as if it had become her own smell. In a literal sense, that was true. She was absorbing his sweat, making her fur smell just like him.

When Koga paused on a cliff to look around for Inuyasha, Kagome found herself starting to enjoy the smell of him. What had disgusted her before was enticing her now. She moaned in delight.

“What was that?” Koga asked. “Did you say something?”

“Oh,” she said, feeling as though she would blush if she could. “It’s nothing. I was just… enjoying myself.”

“What?” he replied, shocked.

Kagome felt just as shocked at herself for saying it and maybe a little more shocked to admit that it was true. She had begun to enjoy the sensation of being his loincloth, being attached to him, absorbing his warmth, smelling and tasting his rich musk as it became a part of her, the feel of his manhood against her back…

“Koga,” she said. “Maybe you’re right. Maybe we shouldn’t see Inuyasha.”

“Something is wrong,” Koga said. “You… you’re not yourself. I’m taking you to him.”

“Wait,” Kagome said, but he paid her no attention.

Soon, he had tracked down the half-demon, who had just made camp and started to build a fire.

“Inuyasha,” Koga called to him. “I need to speak with you about Kagome.”

“No! Don’t!” Kagome pleaded, panicking at the thought of being removed from Koga’s loins. “Don’t tell him. I don’t want this to end.”

“What is it, now?” Inuyasha replied, showing no sign that he had heard her voice. “Kagome has already left. You heard her. She needed to go home. You ought to get out of here as well.”

“But, you see-” Koga started to say.

“Please,” Kagome cried, cutting him off. “Let’s run off together. I want to be with you forever. Let me be yours, your loincloth. It’s pure joy. I love how this feels. I love you wearing me. I love your delicious musk. I love you. I love you! Please, never let this end.”

“‘But’ what?” Inuyasha asked.

Koga thought for a moment, realizing he had an important choice to make. He had Kagome now. He had another shard now, too. All he would need to do was run away with her. It would mean robbing her of her normal human life if he did. Could he live with that?

“It’s… nothing,” Koga said, giving in to his desire. “I’m leaving. Goodbye, Mutt.”

Inuyasha growled in annoyance as Koga ran off, stealing Kagome away from him for good.

Koga ran as fast as he could, maybe trying to outrun his guilt. In time, he hoped that he could forgive himself.

“Thank you, my darling,” Kagome said, overflowing with adoration. “You’re so powerful, so handsome, so lovely. Keep me near you, always.”

“I will,” Koga promised, caressing her fur. “Always.”
