Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #19: Tears Drop to Earth

The things he had told her thus far, the atrocities his Uncle committed, while awful and terrible to hear, Kagome couldn’t understand how something that happened in the past had anything to do with the present. It seemed completely unrelated to her. What connection did this family feud have with what happened to the youkai town and later at the abandoned castle with the masked woman? 

She waited for Akahito to continue, to clear up her confusion, but he had gone silent. She looked over at him, ready to pose a question or two when she saw it.

A tear.
