'She hired a demon?!'

Kagome bit her lip, fidgeting quite noticeably while her mother greeted her so-called new tutor at the door. She let out a breath, trying to calm herself down so she could think a little more clearly.

The miko let her senses expand, slowly opening her eyes in slight confusion, 'It's so faint,' She thought with furrowed brows, 'It's faint, but it's definitely there.'

But it was too faint to come from a half-demon, 'So, what is it?' She knew it was very unlikely to be a human with demon ancestry since most hanyou were sterile, 'This is just my luck.'

She could hear her mother greeting her tutor warmly and couldn't help but to feel a bit anxious. What if it was a demon who had found a way to hide its youki from her somehow? What if it came to attack them under the false pretence of being her tutor? What if it was after the Shikon?

"I'm too paranoid," Kagome said under her breath, sitting up a little straighter when she heard the door shut and the two pairs of feet shuffling closer, 'Just act nice and see what this 'tutor' is up to.'

Nodoka rounded the corner and Kagome was certainly surprised at the appearance the tutor possessed, "Minamino-kun, this is my daughter, Kagome." She introduced with a smile.

Kagome opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found herself too transfixed by his bright green eyes that painfully reminded her of–

"Shippou-chan?" She asked in a quiet murmur, feeling both nostalgia and happiness at the same time. Luckily, her voice was quiet enough that her mother didn't hear her.

Those green eyes barely narrowed, but narrowed nonetheless, "It's nice to meet you, Kagome-san. I'm Minamino Shuuichi," He bowed politely, "I'll be honoured to be your tutor if you would let me."

It wasn't only his green eyes, but the youki that emanated from his very person that had her shaking in her spot.

He was a kitsune.
