A/N: In which Itachi is sent off into battle and Kagome plays the family card in order to get him to stay.
Theme 21. War
"You can't leave us Itachi! What if something happens?" Kagome hissed, tears in her eyes as she begged for her beloved to stay with her. "They can find someone else! You can't abandon your family!"
Itachi flinched slightly, though it went unnoticed by the blubbering Kagome.
"I'm doing this because I don't want to abandon my family; I don't want my two favorite girls to be alone, but in order to reassure your safety, I need to fight this war."
He kissed her forehead and knocked her out with a final farewell.
