Being perfectly happy is a curse. No one in all of time loved more completely, or were as happy as we were, and for that, no one has ever suffered so.

Being perfectly happy is a curse. It is not wise to make the kami envious, it will bring calamity upon you.

I met her when we were children, my darling Kagome. The Western Citadel was on the sea, and while I was the prince of the realm, she was the daughter of a merchant. We should never have met, never fallen in love, but we did. Kagome was born to love, she was love, and I will never know why, but from the time when she was small, many, many years ago, she decided that she would love only me.

Our love was the talk of the kingdom, the love between my darling Kagome and me. We loved each other so desperately, so perfectly, that the kami became envious. They sent a great wind down upon our kingdom, a wind that wrapped my darling Kagome in it’s frosty embrace, and stole her life.

Everyone in our kingdom knew that the kami were envious of our love, and had sent the wind to take her from me, to separate us. When her body was taken from me to be laid in a tomb, when my bride was removed from my side, I knew that even though she was gone from me in this lifetime, I would see her again. Neither ningen nor youkai could dissuade me from this belief. Our souls were connected, and nothing could break that. Not even death.

Each night, I go to sleep with my darling Kagome, curling up next to her coffin, so that I can be with her, be near her, until the time comes that I find her soul again, and can hold her in my arms again, and smell her sweet scent, and know the love of her. I will never forget her, and will search for her for as long as it takes until I can be with her again, my darling Kagome.
