Another short one guys
Time goes on... and on
The years passed and he stayed friends with Sesshoumaru and Hiro, well, became friends with Hiroki. He started training as much as he studied; every four years he would test himself against the boy, well he quickly became a young man, and he stayed on par with Sesshoumaru, of that he was glad. He made sure he spent at least an hour a day doing something with Shiori, playing with her, helping her study, or teaching her how to fight. A bond was finally formed, it was way past time and her carefree demeanour (without the sudden bouts of tears) started to close the wound Kagome accidentally created.
His father found a mate for him and he mated her obediently, she sired his first and only kit, whom she named, and she called him Shippou. That was the first time Kagome truly and fully entered his mind once more, Shippou, the name of the kit who would be orphaned once he became two hundred and fifty. The kit was adorable and he showered him with love and attention as did his mate, Sakura. Shippou brought them together, and eventually they fell in love, he would have preferred to have fallen in love with her before she birthed his heir, but once they actually fell in love they spent a glorious century side by side and he learnt that you could fall in deep, true love more than once in a lifetime.
