Chapter 16:Honnou

(Translation:Instinct )

Kouga and Achika slept soundly beside of each other in the cool confines of the cave. A cool rush of wind flowed over Achika's body from the mouth of the cave. Achika stirred slightly and turned her head towards her new found mate.

She opened her eyes half way and saw the most beautiful sight. Kouga was sleeping beside of her, and their bodies seemed close. Achika lightly put her arm around the wolf youkai's shoulder and back area. She had finally been excepted as his mate. Kagome was no longer a problem.

She could see Kouga's eyebrows contort as he stirred. He opened his eyes with a slight moan and looked across at Achika.

"Achika." He said, his voice seemed a little tired as he adjusted to the haziness of sleep.

"Good Morning, love." Achika told him.

Kouga sat up and rubbed his head. Achika stood up and walked over to gather her articles of clothing, which seemed to be all over the part of the den. Kouga followed behind, picking up his things as well.

"Kouga..."

"Yes?"

"Do you regret..." Achika asked.

"No.." Kouga replied. "Why would I?"

"Because we became more then just friends." Achika told him.

"Why is that a problem?" Kouga asked.

"I don't know." Achika smiled.

Kouga sighed as he dressed himself and walked over to the mouth of the cave. As he reached the edge he turned around and faced Achika.

"I'm going to take a bath." Kouga blushed a bit before finally letting out the rest of his sentence. "Would you like to...Come with me?"

"Sure." Achika replied, pacing a bit more then a walk as she approached the leader of the wolves.

The two made their way outside to the fellow pack members, who were dispersed across the den area.

"I'm going down to the river. If anything happens, come and get me right away." Kouga informed Ginta and Hakkaku.

They both nodded in assurance, agreeing with their leader.

Kouga and Achika walked off, leaving the rest of the pack to themselves. Kouga hadn't left too often, afraid that Naraku would slaughter all of his tribe, but he felt as if he needed some time alone with his new found mate.

The two wolves walked down a small dirt path until they came to a river. The water was flowing steadily and rushing in a quiet mannerism. Kouga slowly made his way down the steep hill, adorned with rocks and fallen branches. Achika followed, stepping lightly as she went.

Soon both of them were at the end of the cliff, near the water's edge. Kouga began to shed himself of his armor and fur. He stepped into the water slowly, after he had gotten in up to his hips, he looked back at Achika.

"Something wrong?"

"No.." The hanyou said shyly.

"You coming?" Kouga turned half way around to her.

"Yeah."

Achika slowly undressed and slipped into the water. It was cold on the skin. She flinched at the touch of the liquid. She waded out into the water and slowly walked up to Kouga. They had a small embrace.

"I have to ask you something..." Achika said.

"Nani?" Kouga asked.

"Do you love this Kagome more then me?" She asked, knowing that he did, at least at once love the human.

"Of course not. I don't give a damn about her anymore. All that matters is you now." Kouga said, slightly above a whisper as he put his face near hers.

It was true, he had no longer desired Kagome as he once did. Perhaps he had just wanted her as a shard detector, as Inuyasha did. There was not a doubt that he still wouldn't be friends with the girl, but he would always love Achika first and foremost.

"It's hard to believe that we were once just friends." Kouga said. "One minuet we're running from bears and now here we are, kissing each other on moonless nights."

"Yeah, I know what you mean." Achika agreed. "How ironic, ne?"

Kouga blushed a bit. "Yeah."

"So, are we going to bathe or what?" Akina playfully splashed at her mate.

Kouga closed one eye and held a hand up. "Hey."

"What's wrong? Is the brave leader going to get drown by a woman?" Achika splashed at him again. This time Kouga splashed back.

"Come on, fearless leader!" Achika kept splashing.

"Heh."

A wave of water came over the hanyou and she fell back into the water. Kouga stood there for a while.

"Uh, Achika?" He cocked his head, wondering if she was all right. He waded over to the spot she fell, only to be pulled into the water. He fell forward with a yell.

Achika resurfaced. "Ha! Got ya!"

Kouga surfaced shortly after and shook his head. "That wasn't fair."

"Who said I fight fair?" Achika smirked.

"Oi, Achika."

"Hm?"

"I do have something to talk to you about."

Achika seemed to be listening intently now. "What do you have to tell me?"
