"What are you doing here, Rin?" Kaito said, breaking the silence.

She smiled to herself. She had been having so much fun teasing the human, she had forgotten the Dragon would be expecting answers. Slipping into the role of the trickster and flirt had been a good disguise to find out the priestess' intentions. She was surprised to find the Dragon traveling with a human, and one he seemed fond of. The look he gave the priestess was the same he had given Kazue all those years ago. I've been quite nostalgic lately. Of course, for the Dragon, it would not seem nearly as long. When Rin and the Dragon had parted ways, she did not think they would see one another again. But here she was by his side once more, and again he was in love with a human. It seemed history really did repeat itself.

"I thought you would need my help," she replied with a wink.

"You're not acting like yourself."

She laughed. "I'm just having some fun with the priestess. She's easy to tease. I could see she has a temper right away." She looked at him from the corner of her eye with a smirk. "And she's rather jealous."

He frowned. "She's different from Kazue in that way. But then Kazue knew I had eyes for no one but her."

Rin hesitated to ask. Everyone knew Kazue had been the only human to win the Dragon's heart, but she had betrayed him in the end. I'm surprised he's willing to open his heart to another human. But perhaps that wasn't quite right, they didn't seem like lovers. Maybe he had not accepted his own feelings yet. He had been hurt before. It's a good thing I am here, maybe I can help him heal by finding happiness with another. It would be a distraction while she waited for her own happily ever after. Is this our fate? To keep falling in love with mortals only to have our hearts broken over and over again.

"Who is she?" Rin asked.

He looked at her sidelong. "She's the one who broke the seal."

"Really? An untrained priestess?" Her raw power was evident. It radiated off of her like a beacon. She was not surprised they had run into trouble thus far.

He nodded his head. "She's Kazue's reincarnation."

Rin stopped in her tracks. He forgave Kazue after she betrayed him? "How can you be sure it's her? How can you tell someone has been reborn?" Her chest constricted, thinking of her own lost love, maybe out there somewhere.

"The Hanyou, he's gone?" he asked.

Rin looked at the ground. "Hikaru died twenty years ago. I've been living at the shrine we built together. I thought I would know when his soul returned, that I would feel it…" Rin pressed her hand to her heart. "But I've felt nothing. Perhaps he'll never come back."

They walked in silence for a moment. "We both knew the price of loving a mortal."

She nodded. "Knowing doesn't make the pain less."

Kaito did not answer and she left him with his thoughts.
