"Eventually, she managed to create a series of peace accords that created balance between the humans and the demons. After that, times were stable and I found myself wanting to know more about the priestess. So I did, but my interest soon turned to something else."
"You loved her." Kagome stated slowly. The old man shook his head.
"I still love her."
