"What's wrong?" Kagome asked as soon as she entered Kagura's apartment. The cousin in question just began to cry and all Kagome could do was walk inside and lend her a shoulder to cry on. Whatever happened, she'd find out about it later.
"I can't help it Kagome. I know he likes me so much but I just can't commit to him knowing that I'll never commit because I'm so scared of my parents!"
Kagome knew what she meant. Kagura was her cousin by name only. They weren't related biologically. Her parents were Kagome's godparents. While they were tolerant of humans and doted on Kagome like she was their daughter, they were very much against interspecies relationships of a romantic manner.
"Shh, dear. It'll be all right. Why don't we talk about this?"
