Kagome smiled absentmindedly as she walked to class, her friends crowding her as they tried to fill her in on the gossip she had missed while 'sick'. She merely nodded as they entered the class and took her seat, her friends crowding around her. She was half paying attention, because who really cared if what's her face called that one girl a fatty and would the world really end if she didn't know that that one dude asked that one girl out and she turned him down?
Really, she had much more pressing things to worry about. Like her talk last night with Inu Yasha. It had worried her, a lot. There were rumors that Naraku was gaining even more power, which meant they were in trouble. Lots of it, as if he wasn't strong enough as it was! Plus with his new gained power came even stronger allies.
Add in the fact that the spider hanyou now had a very creepy fractionation with her…she mused it was because Kikyou was finally dead, Kami rest her soul, so his fascination with her had been shifted onto her own person.
Inu Yasha was worried and wanted her to stay in her time until the facts could be separated from the fiction. Yet she didn't want to! She was more then capable of defending herself, yes she needed work, but Gohan had said he would help her.
So why did everyone want her to stay where she could be safe? It hurt her a lot that they thought so little of her, she was no longer the weak fifteen year old girl that had fallen down the well. She was a woman now, a battle hardened woman, yes she was not the best at fighting and sword play but she'd be damned if they treated her like a weak damsel who needed to be protected.
She was startled out of her thoughts by Gohan calling the class to attention. She smiled as she looked up at him, a smile he returned, with his help she would become even better at defending herself and maybe, just maybe she would gain something even more.
With a small blush on her cheeks she pulled out her notebook and began to take notes, thanking Kami that Gohan was also her tutor because it all sounded like he was speaking in tongues to her.
