I think I'm beginning to run low on ideas. What do you suppose I should do? If this is a little short, you'll know I ran out of ideas.

Chapter 10: Kouga no Kiki

Translation-Kouga's Crisis

Kouga and Achika sat there on the rock together. They were left in silence for a while until Achika broke the silence.

"What do you want me here for, Kouga?" She asked.

"Just stay here." Kouga said.

"What's wrong?" Achika asked lowly, she thought that maybe Kouga did not want to talk about his problems with Ginta and Hakkaku present.

"........"

Kouga didn't respond. He couldn't tell her that he was confused about she and Kagome, and he had to choose between them.

"You look worried." Achika told him. "If you keep worrying, your going to age quicker."

"I can't help it. This is something I have to know, and it just irritates the hell out me because no matter what choice on the matter I want to take, the other will be unhappy." Kouga responded.

"You can't make everyone happy." Achika said, putting her hand on Kouga's shoulder.

Kouga looked back at Achika and looked into her blue eyes, azure with love and compassion for him. So much that it pained him if he ever thought about choosing Kagome over her.

"Could you answer something for me?" He asked. Achika was his friend, perhaps she could answer his question, though indirectly.

"Let's say that two people like you. For instance, let's just say Hakkaku and I like you at the same time. " Kouga started.

"Ok," Achika added. "I'll pretend."

She knew what he was getting at.

"Let's say that Hakkaku, you know from childhood and I, you did not. I am the Prince of Wolves and Hakkaku is lower then I. You have conflicting emotions about Hakkaku, and you still like me too, but Hakkaku is your friend, and I have a high position, and something you want. Who would you pick?" Kouga asked.

"Whoever truly loved me, not for just something they want. The one who would be faithful and their love shines true. Not the one, whom in which runs to another because they were afraid to be around you. The one who accepts you for who you are, and the one who would never leave you." Achika responded, trying to sway Kouga's mind from Kagome.

"Who would you pick?" Kouga asked again.

"You want a name?" Achika asked.

"Yes,"

"Hakkaku, but the would not mean that I would not still be your friend, Kouga. I would never go with someone I just wanted something from."

"Achika..."

"Yes,"

"........"

Ac hika and Kouga stared at each other for a time. Kouga sighed and looked down. Achika felt saddened by her friend's sadness. She looked over at Kouga.

"I am here for you." She said.

Kouga's body seemed to act on it's own. Stress had taken it's toll on him and he leaned into Achika and rested his weary head on her shoulder taking comfort in her gentle body. Achika put an arm around his neck and hugged him gently. Kouga needed comfort, he didn't care who is was from.

Achika was shocked by Kouga's actions, but returned his affections with a gentle caress back.

Er....I just ran out of ideas....R&R as always! I'll think of something ^^ if you have any suggestions tell me about them.
