Here is chapter 11. For your enjoyment.

Chapter 11: Achika no Hanyou?

Translation-Achika is half human?

A few days have passed since that incident. Kouga was still lost in his feelings. He cared for Kagome, but it seemed that his feelings for Achika had also changed. He couldn't except the fact that he was no better then Inuyasha by using Kagome just because of the fact that she can sense the shards.

Kouga awoke once more from the same repetitive dream. It didn't seem to bother him anymore now that he had had it three nights in a row. Achika was still asleep in the wolf den. Kouga walked over and started the fire and sat by it for a while. He was the first Yorozoku that was up.

He waited a while and another male had awoken, he was older then Kouga. He sat beside of Kouga.

"Having trouble deciding between hanyou and human?" He asked.

"Hanyou?" Kouga questioned.

"Yes, Achika is a hanyou I thought you knew." He told Kouga.

"I thought she was a youkai, like us." Kouga was surprised. How did he know that Achika was a hanyou? Kouga had always thought she was a youkai.

"You mean you never knew?" He asked. "Haven't you always wondered why she looked so different from us?"

"I thought...." Kouga was cut off.

"The same silly thing everyone else thinks. I know she is your friend, and I don't mean to upset you or her, but she is a hanyou and she thinks she's a youkai. " He said.

"She's still my friend." Kouga growled. "I don't care what she is. I'd love her even if she was a Gokurakuchou!"

Kouga hadn't realized what he had even just said. His listener had though and found the opportunity to comment on it.

"You love her?" He asked.

"What?" Kouga questioned.

"You just said I love her. I don't care what she is."

"I did not."

"Yes, you did."

"How do you know she is a hanyou and not a youkai?" Kouga asked, changing the subject.

"My older brother, who had died at the claws of the Gokurakuchou, knew her mother Akina. Akina was a youkai like us. She would often stray off into the nearby village and no one would know why. She loved a human there, and Achika was their child. When you were little I bet you never saw her father. "

"No...When I think about it, I never did..." Kouga trailed off. "I can't tell her that..."

Kouga's expression was saddened by his friend's delusions of being a youkai. She had not known she wasn't like the Yorozoku, no one had ever told her. They simply excepted her as she was. Kouga turned at the other Yorozoku who had told him the story.

"You call her a hanyou and die! You tell anyone else she's a hanyou and both of you die." Kouga threatened. He didn't want Achika to be hurt in anyway.

"But you must eventually tell her..."

"NO!" Kouga yelled. "She can be anything she wants! All that matters is her happiness!"

The Yorozoku's face lit up with surprise. He had not seen Kouga that fired up at anything, not even Kagome. Had his feelings truly decided who he loved? Or was he just as delusional as she?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*< br>
Kouga walked into the cave and saw Achika asleep on the ground. Her hair was over her face. Kouga moved it so he could see her face. Did he say that he loved her? He could not remember...What about Kagome? But Achika......And.......Kagome...............

He was confused.

It seemed like it was time for another thinking session for the young wolf youkai. He ran his fingers through Achika's long, white hair. Over the past three days she seemed to be a great stress reliever for him. She always seemed to know just how to make him feel better. She was there for him.
