Once the balcony door was closed Tai turned to Kagome. "Fuzzy, you do love Touga, right?" he questioned, sitting down beside her on the bed. Kagome dropped her head on his lap and stared up at him.
"I don't know! I... I was hurt to much by Inuyasha, so much that, that I don't even now what love is anymore." she whispered, as a tear slid down her cheek. Tai thumbed it away and kissed her forehead, pulling her onto his lap he let her cry softly on his shoulder.
"Kagome, you'll know when you love him. Tonight Kai is hosting a ball at his castle, and it is in your honor. It was for you to find a intended, but you already have one." he told her, his tone soft, gentle, loving.
"Really?" she sniffed.
"Yes, fuzzy!" she giggled as he nuzzled her cheek.
"Okay!"
"Touga shall be escorting you, but don't tell him. Yet!" They both laughed, lightly. "Come, let's leave his room and go find you a nice Kimono." Kagome squealed and jumped up running out of the room, Tai followed closely behind her after closing the door to Touga's room. Tai left just as Kai and Touga walked into the room.
