Chapter 26: Genuine

..**..

"You genuinely care about Inuyasha right?" Miroku asked Kagome.

"Of course… as a friend." Kagome assured.

"Then you'll be stuck with him forever." Miroku put it simply. "He hasn't had a lot of genuine care in his life so he'd protect anyone who loves him with his life, Kagome. He's always going to be slightly domineering… although I must admit he has taken a more specific liking to you than to anyone else."

Kagome blushed a little.

"…Miroku?"

"Yeah?"

"What are his issues?" Kagome asked quietly. "…Inuyasha's?"

I figured that this conversation would lead to that." Miroku admitted. "Take a seat."
