Part 1 – Continuity

"Do you remember the near galvanic fights we use to have?"

"Fortunately, I have selective memory, my dear. Otherwise we neither of us would have survived these many centuries in tact."

"Hnnnn, do you really?" she said flatly turning to look at her husband of 600 years with amusement. According to him, he was reading the Sunday paper. In reality, he had his favorite Sudoku well hidden within the pages, a secret she allowed him to keep. Another frivolous pursuit he would never admit amongst many.

"It's Sango's birthday next Friday."

"Why are you sharing this unimportant detail with me? Invariably it means you have hatched some scheme, not to my liking. Take her to lunch as you usually do, or a spa or whatever appeals."

"Such a romantic man, you are."

"I am not a man. Male yes, man no," he said indignantly, quirking one silvery brow at his mate.

The sound of fitful breathing was heard by Kagome on the other side of the door. Even after all this time, the little kappa still remained timid, when the Western Lord was in residence; even though he had not kicked him in centuries, simply for being.

"Come in, Jaken." Kagome said pleasantly, seating herself on the chaise, ignoring her husbands sharp intact of breath and sudden glacial expression. It remained a game of his; would that Jaken knew.

Author's Note

Borrowing from one of my favourite beings in this life...I guess it is the journey that counts, not the destination. I will only guarantee you this... it won't be the expected destination....peace, until next time and yes for the private and public emails, this is the beginning of TSNNAM's epilogue. Well spotted. Kudos to you all know who *wink*.

Peace
