Chapter 8: Kouga no Kimochi

(Translation-Kouga's Feelings)

Mid day approached and the Yorozoku were beginning to settle down for the night. Kouga walked into the cave once more, and Achika sat there with her legs bent and her head resting in her arms. Kouga walked over and sat by her.

"Are you all right?" Kouga asked.

Achika raised her head. "Konichi wa Kouga, I am fine."

Kouga preceded with his speech. "I hope your recovery is going all right."

"It is."

"You must really like that Kagome girl," Achika trailed off, out of context with the rest of the conversation.

Kouga glanced at her. He couldn't see he face because she had put it back in her arms. Her silky white hair covering that side of Kouga's view as well.

"Are you angry at me, Achika?" Kouga asked.

"No..."

"What's wrong then?"

"My wounds hurt, that's all." Achika responded.

Kouga gently put his arm around Achika, to comfort her. "Is there anything I can do to where the pain is risen?"

Achika had wished that Kouga never would've asked her that. It was as if she had a sharp pain in her heart to go with the physical hurt. He was so dense!!

She loved him, and she was right there, offering unconditional love, but he had feelings for this human girl, who cared next to nothing for him. Had he always been so dense? Perhaps his density grew over the years...It seemed as if he would never listen to reason. Achika was determined not to let him shove her aside, as if she was nothing!

She had to show him that she cared. Kouga's face was in close, he was trying to see Achika's face. Achika turned around and their lips met. Kouga was surprised at the suddenness of the kiss. Achika placed her arms around Kouga and rubbed his back a bit. Kouga felt the same feelings resurfacing themselves, he could feel his stomach tingling once more. It was as if he had longed for it and wanted it all along, but his state of denial would not let him face the truth. It got in the way of his hidden feelings.

Kouga gently placed a hand on Achika's shoulder and let his lips go from hers.

"Please, Achika.....I can't..." Kouga said gently, trying to resist.

"Yes, you can." Achika assured, running her fingers through Kouga's jet black hair, reassuring him. She kissed Kouga again. Kouga didn't know what to think at the moment, he was lost in a whirlwind of thoughts and his body was trapped in a tornado of feelings; all in which intergraded themselves with one another, causing nothing but more confusion.

**What am I doing? I love Kagome....But....She loves me...She kissed me...And, why do I love Kagome? ** Kouga thought to himself as the second kiss had ended.

He looked at Achika with confusion in his eyes.

"Achika I...." He trailed off.

"What's wrong Kouga?" Achika asked. "Don't tell me you still care about that human girl?"

Kouga looked down and didn't respond. He was still confused about the course of recent events, and surprisingly, Kagome was one of the few things on his mind at the moment.

There she was, his childhood friend, who was in love with him. Though he must admit to himself, he did find her beautiful. She was sitting in front of him. His gaze changed slightly and he could see her. She has delicate curves and features. She skin seemed soft and her long hair was white as the winter's snow, her eyes as beautiful as the summer sky. She looked harmless from this point, but this was a mere cover. She had a deadly beauty and she could fight as well as any of his male tribe members. She was full of determination and silent fury and she was the most agile Yorozoku he knew.

Kouga seemed confused, so much so he could bearly speak. So many things had been swirling around inside of him, clashing together: Love, friendship, and worry.

Kouga finally lifted his head up.

"I'll think about it." He trailed as he arose and walked out of the cave.

Achika sat there and thought for a while as she watched him leave.

**He said he's think about it, that must mean he's half way there. But he still thinks that human girl cares about him...Why? He knows he's only hurting himself. I saw how Inuyasha defended Kagome during the Juuroumaru and Kageroumaru battle, and how much Kouga was trying to make her think better of him then Inuyasha. Though Kagome and Inuyasha argue, they do have feelings for each other, yet Kouga remains as dense as ever, believing that Kagome has feelings for him.

Ah, Kouga-kun, you always were the dense one, ne?**

Achika looked down at the soil below her.

**You have been so good to me, and you are kind. You saved me from the Gokurakuchou. I would have died trying to fight them all myself.**

Well, I think I'm getting closer to making Kouga have feelings for Achika...^_^; What do you guys think? What do you think I should do with them? Leave a review for me and we'll see what comes of it. I'm known for listening to the fans ^^
