Looking back on it I'm surprised I didn't see it coming. It was too perfect. Emotions always ran high between those two, so why not love? In the years and months after the incident I have to wonder why I never realized what was happing between them. I never even figured out when it happened, but happen it did.
I was shocked when she told us, and surprised to no end. I guess I was afraid in some ways. In her world they had all sorts of thing to prevent this form happening, but if she used them, they did not work. Maybe that's what I was afraid of, that maybe she had used all those things and they had failed. And if she had things to stop it and they failed, then me, who had nothing of the sort, would become as she was.
She told me there were things in her world that could make it end. Make it like it never happened. But she was too kind hatred for that sort of thing. I don't think she could have gone through with it, even if she had wanted to. That was in her nature I guess.
Even after the years I look back on our times together and smile. We were so young, so happy together and nothing could tear us apart. At least that's what we thought. Our quest got harder and our tempers flared to the point of ripping us apart at the seams.
He avoided her once she told him, I guess he was afraid. He even urged her to end it, but she refused. In the end I guess it was him who pulled them apart. He was already broken and this didn't help. But still we continued on with our quest as best we could.
I remember the day we finally defeated Narku and completed our quest. I remember falling into my own love's arms and peeling off the beads and cloth to kiss his newly healed hand. Kagome wasn't even with us then she'd already gone home for good and faced the pearls of her new life there, the life with her baby.
