Yes, I think one of the reasons he's struggling so hard is that he can't reconcile wanting to use her family's company as ruthlessly as his father uses people. His line in the sand is just drawn a little closer, I suppose - but they aren't as different as he likes to think.
Interesting parallels you've drawn to the manga, especially Kagome's relationship there with Koga. Thanks! :) It's something I haven't been conscious of in the writing of this piece.
She has been open to him. He needs to open up.
Well - sort of. She's not being loud and proud with all of her insecurities about the relationship, either (not that anybody would be, mind you!), but she is a bit more open with her emotions in general. He's very good at hiding his.
Don't worry, all of this is going to come back and bite him in the ass, so he definitely won't be 'getting away with' this behavior. I've built it this way for a reason.

Worthy of the prompt "I hate myself", no? :)
