The Foreign Exchange Student

Ch. 13 Confessions

 

As soon as the rest of the people were far enough ahead Koga started trying to talk with Ashley. Both of them walked in an awkward silence before Ashley decided to break it. “So what are you trying to say? I know you want to tell me something.”

 

Koga smiled weakly and said, “Well I do want to talk to you about something. I mean if you are ok with…talking about it… like if you… wouldn't mind… I mean…” Ashley laughed at him and gave him an encouraging smile.

 

“Come on Koga just say it I don't care what it is,” Ashley told him with another smile.

 

“Ok I will just come out and say it ok?” Koga said as he looked at Ashley who nodded for him to continue. “I…I…I…I want you to be my mate.”

 

Ashley froze. Koga took a few steps before he noticed she was not with him any more because of how desperate he was to keep his eyes off of Ashley. He stopped and turned back to her and they both just looked at each other. Thoughts swirled through her mind. `I just met this dude, what the hell is he getting at?' “Look Koga… I don't know… I mean, I just met you and all.” Ashley told him nervously.

 

Koga came up to her and held her hands in his, “I love you Ashley, and I want you to be with me forever.” Ashley pulled her hands away and just shook her head.

 

“Don't say that, it's not true. You cant possible love me, I JUST MET YOU!” she all but yelled at him. She walked around him and started to catch up with the rest of the group. Before she got far Koga grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him. Before she could react he pressed his lips firmly onto hers. She was shocked to say the least. It took all the strength in her to not lose herself in the kiss. She pulled herself together and pushed him away. Faster then he could say anything she slapped him across and it echoed through the forest, causing the rest of the group to turn around and watch the scene.

 

Ashley talked low to Koga, so low that he would be the only one to hear it, “I don't care who you are or who you think you are. You can't just kiss me like that, especially when I don't know you as well as you would think.” She looked up into his eyes with a look of utter disgust on her face and added, “You just lost your chances of me ever being your mate.”

 

Koga stood dumbfounded as Ashley walked around him and went to the rest of the group. Casually waving t all off as if it were just some silly argument. Koga couldn't help it he was hurt. He was hurt far more then any time Kagome had turned him down and he was confused about it. He slowly walked towards the rest of the group. They were all talking and laughing but he didn't feel like it. He just lost his chances of ever getting Ashley as his mate. He followed the others at a close distance. He didn't want to get to close or far behind so he made sure that he was at least paying attention as he thought.

Maybe I haven't really lost all my chances. She was angry, I could tell she was, so maybe it was just anger talking. I will make it up to her as soon as I can… I just don't know how to do that.'

 

Before he knew it the sun was setting and everyone was settling down for the night. Kagome and Sango were trying to make a fire when he got there. Ashley was laughing at them and how they couldn't manage it. “I can light it for you, you know,” Ashley said with a laugh. Kagome just shook her head and kept rubbing the sticks together. “Kagome what happened to the matches you had yesterday?”

 

Kagome shot her and look and said, “They all broke in the bottom of the bag. This is the best I can do for now.” Ashley laughed again and kneeled down next to Kagome. Inuyasha and Koga were both watching what she was gonna do at this point. Kagome was so caught up in getting the fire started that she didn't notice Ashley press her finger to her lips and say “Shhhhhh,” really quietly. Kagome rubbed the sticks together and was concentrating on getting it lit. Ashley was next to her and her want was in her pocket. Slowly she pulled it out and muttered a few words that were too soft for anyone to hear and a small flame came up right at the base of the stick.

 

“You see that? I got it without your help HA!” Kagome said to Ashley while she hid the wand behind her back. Ashley just laughed and congratulated her on getting the fire started and slipped her want back into her pocket while her Sango, and Kagome started on getting food ready.

 

When everyone was done eating they all curled up to go to sleep. Ashley stayed awake in her sleeping bad and looked at the stars. She sat up and quickly looked around to see if the rest of the people were asleep before getting up and walking off into the forest. When she walked away the noise woke both Koga and Inuyasha. They looked in the direction Ashley last went and then looked at each other.

 

“I take it the telling her didn't go well,” Inuyasha said from his perch on a branch. Koga looked up at him then shook his head. “So go talk to her again. It can't get much worse.” Inuyasha went back to sleep and Koga followed Ashley into the forest.

 

When he found her she was just sitting next to a small pond that she found. He went up to her and sat down next to her on a rock. She turned and looked at him fro a second before looking back at the water. “Ashley I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been like… that, earlier with the whole mate thing,” Koga said softly and Ashley looked at him again and just nodded before turning back to the water. Koga moved a little closer to her and sat right next to her, barely 3 inches apart. “There is one thing that I need to know Ashley. Have I really blown all chances that I had for you to be my mate?”

 

Ashley looked at him and smiled. She moved over the 3 inches and put her head on his shoulder, he instinctively put his arm around her. “No I don't think you have lost all chance, but don't count on anything for sure ok?” She answered and he nodded, he was so happy that she was not angry with him any more. The two of them sat there for a while before Ashley fell asleep while she was leaning on Koga. He smiled when he noticed and he picked her up gently and held her bridal style on the way back to camp. When he got there he set her down in her sleeping bag, made sure she was comfortable, and went to sleep while leaning against a close by tree. Making sure he was close enough to protect his future mate.
