Chapter 25: Decision
After my time spent talking with Kaoru, I spent a little time deliberating. I know that it is entirely possible for Kagome to survive in another village. She could become a priestess and protect any number of villages. However, this would anger both her and Sango. Furthermore, she came back not only for her own safety; Kagome is simply comfortable with Sango. The problem is the fact that while I know Miroku to be loyal, Kagome is a non-widowed female living with Miroku's family. Furthermore, she isn't a relative of either Sango or Miroku. She can't stay in the same house in my opinion. I have made my decision. I'm now heading to Sango and Miroku's hut.
"I have made my decision. Listen carefully and question later. I've decided that Kagome can stay in this village under one condition."
"Okay and what condition is that." Well at least Sango is willing to listen.
"It's inappropriate for both a non-relative and a non-widow to live with you. Therefore, Kagome needs to have a hut constructed for her. It matters not if she comes to this hut in her free time. She isn't allowed to stay in this hut any longer."
"What do you mean? I have been staying here for almost a month already."
"The decision has been made; either accept my decision or leave."
