Chapter 177


Kagome doesn't know but I should probably tell her, right? Explain why I think Izzy is really leaving? I thought…but she's too much like me and she won't listen to anything I say because I fucked up and I can't take that back either. Won't apologize. Just make things worse. And…

"May I sit?"

God dammit, who sent the monk out here?

"Can you get back up again old man?"

"For the moment. Such a fine day, is it not?"

Sango. Definitely Sango.

"I have come to apologize for Katsuro's behavior towards your family these past many months."

That is the last thing I want to hear.

"You don't need to apologize for your brat Miroku."

If anything, I need to apologize for mine.

"I have been considering sending him to train under Mushin. To draw his focus away. However, he is much like you. Refusing to leave the village on the off chance she will return to him."

"Izzy isn't going to come back."

"I am aware…"

"That's not what I…she's…she's like me, okay? Can't take back shit we say. Even if we don't mean it."

"What?"

"She broke off the engagement…"

"Yes. I am aware."

"I told Kagome I choose Kikyo."

"How is that even remotely…"

"Because once I said that, the damage was done. Couldn't take it back so I sent her away and she came back and…and the rest of the stupid quest was awkward because of it."

"It sounds like you are projecting my friend. There is no way to know that Izzy wants…"

"She told the twins. Emuri cracked."
