The Wait

He had been in love with her forever. Since the first day of school. Since he was seven years old. He had watched her grow into an intelligent doe-eyed maiden from the shy little girl, who had been his playmate.

When she was nine, she cut her leg and he soothed her. When twelve, she was the Sleeping Beauty and he was her Prince. Now, they were teenagers. And his love had not waned. He tried to hold on to her, but she was drifting away. She always found excuses to refuse him. He knew she wanted to get away from him. But he would never let her part from him.

Never. She has been mine alone, since the first day of school .I will not let another have her.

Hojou adjusted his collar and walked into the Higurashi shrine, bearing a gift of herbs.

She was surprised. Smiling, he said, “Kagome-chan, let me escort you to school today.”
