“What have you been up to all this time?” Kagome asked, taking a bite of her sandwich as they walked towards his building.

“I've kept myself busy.”

“You've gotta give me more than that.” She pleaded.

When he looked at her eager eyes, he couldn't help but remember another pair strikingly similar. “You remind me of Rin when she was your age.”

“Do you miss her?” Kagome's tone softened and her pace slowed.

“Hnn.”

“I miss them.” She spoke more for his benefit than her own. She had plenty of time to mourn her family from the past. She had people here who loved her and helped her through her troubling times. She wondered if anyone had ever been there for him.

“Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if I'd stayed behind. I imagine my life would be very different. But as it turns out, I've still been able to find joy here. I may not have been able to grow old with them and share their experiences with them. I'll always treasure the time I had there, and I'll be happy here.”

Kagome took one of his hands in hers. “You should be happy too, Sesshoumaru-sama.”
