Chapter 26: Necessary Discussions

The hut for Kagome has been under construction for a few days. I've decided that since I made the decision to have Kagome leave Sango and Miroku's home, I'll help build. Things between Kagome and I are still awkward at best. We have a plethora of problems to work through. For the sake of Sango and Miroku, it's necessary to work through some of them. I don't want to force Miroku or Sango to become mediators. Kagome and I are going to have a conversation that needs to take place.

"Kagome, there are still things I don't understand. What did I ever do to make you decide to leave and marry someone else?"

"It was my own insecurity. I thought that you wanted Kikyou and I was in the way."

"Why didn't you let me make that decision?"

"Because I thought you already had. It hurt because even while I was married to Houjo, I still loved you."

"Yeah, you can claim that all you want. The fact is that if that was true, my confession three years ago at your house about Kikyou would have caused some kind of reaction."
