"That my dear is Midoriko-sama. She was my wife." He seemed wistful and Kagome wondered why that was. Was she no longer alive? Katsuo-sama seemed to see her questioning gaze so he offered her an arm and lead her out of the room and into the nearby garden. After they were seated on the bench he began his story.
"There once was a powerful priestess named Midoriko-san. She sought to vanquish all demons who she thought were evil and being as powerful as she was it wasn't hard for her to do so. However what she failed to notice was that the news of her exploits had made humankind feel they were more powerful than demons. It wasn't long before the peaceful balance she was trying to create erupted into chaos."
"What happened then?" Kagome asked eagerly. Laughing Katsuo-sama continued.
