George accepted the tea Misa handed him, glancing over at Kagome where she lay on the bed. "She'll be alright, won't she? She's been sleeping for over an hour."
"She used all of her energy holding her own against Tsubaki… she should be stirring soon." Misa said sitting across from him.
"So… this is a regular occurrence then?"
Misa smirked, her red painted lips tilting upwards in a Cheshire grin. "With Kagome, it happens more often then she cares to admit… from what I heard, she'll be telling you everything shortly."
George tilted his head to the side, "what's going on?"
Misa sat back and turned her head slightly; staring at the spot Tsubaki fell. "That's not for me to discuss with you I'm afraid."
George frowned and sat forward, placing his tea on the coffee table in between them.
"You mean to tell me there's nothing you can't tell me?" he asked.
Misa shook her head, her hair shaking softly as she shrugged, "I'm sorry, I know this must be frustrating for you after your brother passed."
George stiffened and pursed his lips.
"I put the offer out to Kagome… I'll put it out to you as well, would you like to speak with him?" Misa asked softly.
"What?"
"I can allow you to speak with him once more… only if you would like." Misa confirmed.
George looked over at Kagome and rubbed his chin, searching for something to help him ease the conflict raging inside of his head.
"I want to… I want to more then anything."
Misa nodded, "I know, would you like to now?"
George shot his gaze back to her, "I—can spirits be mad for something out of their control….?"
"Are you asking about you and Kagome?"
George nodded once, inhaling deeply.
"That's something you would have to ask him… would you like to?"
George covered his face with his hands, leaning forward and pressing the heels of his palms into his eyes. He wanted to, he was desperate to speak with Fred once more time… laugh one more time… but, Fred would kill him if he knew about the two of them… Especially how long he had liked her, he was the reason for the rumors Kouga brought up.
'What the bloody hell is wrong with me? Just say yes.' he thought feeling tears prick his eyes.
