"Oh." Kagome now knew why she never saw him. November fourth was her father's death anniversary. He'd died in a car accident when Kagome was seven and she always spent the day by his grave telling him of all the things she'd done in the past year. Belatedly Kagome realized that even if it was early it was time to visit again, after all she wanted Sesshomaru to meet him.
"My father died that day as well." She found herself saying. "That's probably why I've never seen you." Katsuo-sama smiled and then gave her hands a quick squeeze.
"Yes it is. Come on now then, let's not dwell on the past. Plus, I'm sure Sesshomaru's wondering where we are now. Always been impatient that boy." Giggling and glad that Katsuo-sama had lifted her spirits a little, she helped the old man up and walked with him back to the living room.
