3 Chapter Three

@@

In the three years they were married, Kagura didn't necessarily dislike her husband however she was not used to affection and her cold face remained blank.

He treated her well, better than anyone had ever treated her.

She did not like others being near her nor did she like others knowing too much about her, she felt exposed, it made her uncomfortable. She preferred keeping to herself and spending time near the small spring in the bamboo garden.

Although Kagura's exterior was like a thousand year frost she had a gentle temperament, that no one could come by aside from her husband who watched from afar as she patted the little white fox's cute head.

He had personally caught the baby nine tailed fox to keep her company, never did he expect that his wife who looked at everything uninterested would reach out to pet the baby fox hesitantly.

When the little fox met the scary mans gaze he offered his head for the beautiful icy woman. Her jade like hands stroked his head and he felt a cooling sensation from her hand as his tail wagged delightedly.

It was worth catching that brat for his wife, he was pleased with the results. However he could not help but send the little fox envious glares making the small fox feel aggrieved.

In order for his wife to look at him he would need to slowly break down the invisible walls around her that she put up to protect herself from being hurt.

Forcing himself onto her would only lead her to hate him more thus he would take baby steps.

He has already waited three years he can afford to wait longer.

The reason he was always out and about was to find a cure to her illness, the number of physicians that came across her illness deemed it incurable.

It was only natural as the illness was caused by a curse. Her body was weak and she looked as though she would disappear like the wind.

Masamune spent the past few years finding a cure to no avail. He watched over his wife from a distance when the small diary in her hand suddenly fell to the floor.@@
