****Chapter 7****

Once Kenichi was woken up by a bucket of water to the face him Miu he stood up and heard what Kagome and her son were talking about and couldn't believe what he was hearing, saying she has no problem with him learning from Apa but saw how she teased her son and couldn't help but smile. Looking at everybody he noticed how everyone was watching her and her son with smiles on their faces as they listened to her. He looked at Apa and noticed how the older man was looking at Kagome and started to think that maybe Apa was starting to like her, but shook it off thinking maybe Apa was just happy that she didn't have a problem with her son learning from him and turned back to the others.

Sakaki couldn't help but smile at the little family of two at seeing the kid so excited about what he just saw and trying to get his mother to let him learn from Apa. He smile got a little wider listen to her and seeing her give her son that little pout and the laughter in her eyes as she teased him. Knowing it was his turn to train Kenichi he started walking toward him. When he felt the tug on his jeans he looked down and saw the small boy giving him the best set of puppy dog eyes he had ever seen, knowing what the boy wanted he looked up at his mother when she smiled and nodded her head he looked down at the kid and lifted him up to sit on his shoulder as he waited for Kenichi to get into his stance again.

Apa walked over and sat down beside off Kagome to watch Sakaki start his training with Kenichi, right before he set down he saw Shippo dash toward Sakaki and saw what he did and couldn't help but give a little laugh and smile as his mother nodded and let Sakaki put the boy on his shoulder to watch how Sakaki trained Kenichi. Sitting this close to her Apa saw just how small she was to him and in his mind it just made him want to pull her close and hold her knowing she would fit perfectly in his arms. But, knowing that wouldn't be a good idea he just sit close to her and enjoyed looking at her from the corner of his eyes and watching her reaction to everything.

"Kagome if you don't mind me asking would you really not have a problem learning different styles even with you teaching him the style you, yourself have mastered."Akisame asked wanting to hear more from this woman who had captured his attention and wanting to learn as much as he could about her.

Turning to look up at him she gave him a smile, "I have no problem with Shippo learning another style, when I myself know two styles of fighting myself. Different styles teach many different things each style teaches one a new way to control one's body, mind, and soul what one can't learn from one style they can learn from another. For an example if you will judo teaches one with while placed holds one can overcome someone twice their size while not hurt themselves of another. While Karate teaches someone the best way to use muscle to protect themselves as well as maintaining a stance helping their bodies to remember defense and offense come from the same place." She told him while smiling.

Akisame wasn't really shocked by her answer but was rather impressed by her knowledge and understanding that not all fighting styles where and that with different styles could teach someone different ways to react and control themselves. "I am impressed no many understand what all different styles can do for a person most are only wanting to push their selves just into one and reach as far as they can in that form." He said while smiling at her wondering what all could be running though her mind he already knew she was intelligent but she just showed that she had a better understanding for thing than even most masters did.

Apa couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous of the smile Kagome sent toward Akisame but was shocked at listen to them and her answer to his question and marveled at the fact she was this insightful and understood what she was saying about different styles.

"Apa so Kagome has no problem with she son learning muay thai from Apa?" he asked while giving her his biggest smile.

Laughing a little bit at how Apa was acting and smiled up at him, while silently wondering what it would be like to be in his arms. What in the world I know I find him attractive but to be thinking like that came on Kagome snap out of it you just met the man. Kagome thought to herself, "Apachai I wouldn't have any problem with Shippo leaning muay thai as long as he is happy and healthy what more could I ask for but, here soon I need to get Shippo into school so it will have to be after school if that wouldn't be a problem with you." She told him while still looking at him and seeing just how handsome he was up close.

"Apa have no problem with him having school first, he needs education first Apa." He said smiling and looking at the young boy smiling and laughing while holding onto Sakaki's shoulder while he was training Kenichi, and hoping that with teaching Shippo he would get to spend more time with Kagome and maybe getting to know her better along with her son.

Kagome smiled at hearing him say that knowing this man was a good man wanting to make sure Shippo did school first then learning muay thai. She looked at her son smiling seeing him so happy and enjoying himself, she kind of felt sorry for Kenichi cause she could tell that Sakaki was pushing Kenichi harder with Shippo on his shoulder enjoying watch them train. Again she noticed something that she knew he needed to work on with his fighting but again is going to wait, but make a note of it in her mind.

Seeing that her son was okay she looked at the young blond girl, "So I take it Kenichi found this dojo because of you didn't he?" she asked while smiling at her.

Miu couldn't help the blush that went across her face when Kagome asked her that because she knew it was true, but wondered how she knew that. "Yes, I brought him here after seeing him getting picked on by someone in the karate class and it was kind of my fault I showed him a move hoping to help him but only made him a target." She said feeling guilty about all the fights that Kenichi had to be in just because of that.

Kagome couldn't help for laughing a little bit at hear Miu saying that, "You must be a great friend Miu for trying to help him and then helping him find such wonderful sensei's to help him along." She said while looking at the younger woman she could tell she startled Miu a little bit by what she said. She looked back at Kenichi, "I wish one of my friends had done the same for me in the beginning and maybe things would be different for you see my friends all were great fighters while I would trip over air. For awhile everything was fine nothing bad ever really happened till one day one of my friends had gotten hurt real bad for some time we didn't think she would make, all for the fact the she had tried to protect me. So I started to train I asked them to train me because I never wanted one of my friends or someone I cared about to get hurt because I couldn't do anything." She told her while looking at her cousin and son, turning she looked Miu in the eye and smiled, "So never feel guilty for helping a friend better themselves and just wanting to make sure they are safe." she said while still smiling at her she reached over and patted her hand.

After hearing what Kagome said she felt such a relief not guilty about what she had done, she knew she would always feel bad when Kenichi had to fight but knew he was strong and she would always stand by his side and help him no matter what.

Old man Hayato smiled knowing that Kagome had just made his granddaughter feel better, since he knew Miu felt like it was all her fault that Kenichi had to fight so much. After hearing her he knew this young woman would be a wonderful friend and a mother like figure to his granddaughter and would help her no matter what.

Akisame was thinking the same thing and was wondering more about the beautiful woman and hoping that he would get to know more about her.

Apa couldn't help but smile at listen to Kagome give Miu advice and then making her feel better and showing her support of her and Kenichi's friendship. Just hearing her voice made his heart tighten and he got nervous, he had never felt this way about a woman before and couldn't help but hope to get to know her better and maybe be someone important to Kagome. He began to think of ways of getting to know her and hoping she would say yes but knew he needed to wait first since he had just met he today, but knew he couldn't wait long he wanted to be as close to her as he could.
