Kaoru folded her hands as Rekka-san paced. Leo had left for the other dimension two weeks ago, and Kaoru couldn't help but worry about her husband. One of them, anyway. Kouga was at least in the same dimension.
She knew it wasn't a legal marriage, either by Makai standards or mundane ones. But she'd taken comfort in the fact that Jabi-san was willing to marry them, and Leo had been willing to marry her. It didn't matter if it was legal or not. The family knew it belonged together. Kaoru had worked hard to make sure that if Leo died in that far-away dimension, at least he'd have a chance to be a father. And she'd succeeded.
It didn't hurt that she and Kouga had time, and Leo might not, and Kouga didn't have much of a sex drive. Leo had more of one, for all his shyness.
"It's really that bad?" she asked.
"I tried to warn him," Rekka-san snarled. "I tried to tell him that it was dangerous. Of course he didn't listen."
Rekka-san had told her about the horrible place, how they'd restricted her movements and didn't allow her out unless she was under guard. Yes, they had fed her and housed her, but she couldn't go where she needed to go to close down gates. And she didn't have free movement in the base, either.
She'd gone back at Kaoru's request, and been unable to see him. Kaoru didn't like the idea that Leo might be under guard in what was essentially a prison, but she knew he'd had no choice. Horrors had to be dealt with. Leo's unique experience, and the fact that the Senate didn't like the relationship, meant that he had to go.
And there was no way that she'd be able to go. If it wasn't safe for Leo, it wouldn't be safe for Kaoru, most definitely. There was the possibility that she could get stuck there, held for Leo's good behavior. And that wouldn't be good for the baby, either, with the stress, even if she had medical care.

So, she stayed, even if she didn't want to.
