Greetings
"Did you have fun in your era?" She was going to have to work on Yamazaki's greetings although it was a bit of an improvement on 'marry me'.
"I guess so, I mean it sucks my family is not going to be there for our marriage although we can always have another one when... when time catches up with us, but at least we'll be together. They understand why it can't work, everything will be alright."
He hugged her and kissed her on the lips briefly, "I'm sure." He still did not speak all that much but he was a lot better than he used to be. "You do seem a little... distracted... did something happen that I should know about?"
She almost shook her head but it was pointless to lie to him, he could already see something was troubling her; it was not fair to keep secrets. "Well, it's just," she did not want to say she talked to herself, in the literal sense, "is Touga O.K? I mean he did love me in a way, he wanted to be my mate, and if I wasn't in love with you I would have accepted too. Do you think he is taking it badly, do we have to watch out for him?"
Kagome felt him freeze. "Yamazaki?"
"Do you," he broke off and sighed, "do you," he tried again, "remember when I got hurt? I had nightmares after, and you slept with me and they went away. We lied, Hiroki, Sesshoumaru, me, to you, because we did not want a grudge in the pack. Hiroki dished out punishment, he is the only one strong enough, humans hold grudges where youkai bite you back and things are forgotten. We thought it was for the best."
Slowly realization dawned, "oh great Kami, it wasn't an accident, it was him!"
He did not look back at her but turned around and walked back inside.
