I REALLY can't stay

Bankotsu was hanging a wreath on his front door when he received a call. He picked up it immediately recognizing Kagome's ring tone.

“Well hello there sweet thing.” He said as was per his usual greeting to her when she called. “So when can I expect to have you back, I realize we got a good blizzard but it just sucks to think I'll have to spend my Christmas without you.”

“Well, I am in a cabin and were certain got more than a little snowed him, more than the rest of the city. But there is something that we need to talk about Bankotsu.” She said, she sounded nervous and he wondered why.

“Well what is it? You know that you can tell me anything.”

“Actually I can't Bankotsu and that's the problem.” She said, her tone was heavy, like a heaving sigh.

“What do you mean?”

“Since I came back from the feudal era with you, I'm different, things haven't been the same and being with you is not conducive to restoring me to the person that I used to be. I'm sorry because of that but I really need to take time to restore myself, and I can't do that with you.” She said, she sounded very sad but this had to be done.

However this wasn't quite enough for Bankotsu, he had questions and wanted to know what had brought this on all of the sudden. If she was going to attempt to break up with him then he was going to get a proper explanation.
