Kagome skidded to a halt in front of the school's gates. She reached to dig into her bag for her student ID.
"Crap, don't tell me I forgot it!" Could this day get any worse? First she was late and now she couldn't even find her ID. The gates would shut down automatically if she tried to pass through without it.
"Higurashi," A familiar voice snapped her back to reality.
Aizawa stood on the other side of the gates. His expression was harder than usual. However instead of scorn, all she found was concern staring back at her.
Kagome swallowed thickly.
He knew.
Recovery Girl must've told him about the injury.
Her limbs felt heavy. All the blood drained from her face as he crooked his index finger at her.
"We need to talk."
Those were the words she wanted to hear the least right now.
Kagome squared her shoulders. She stepped past the threshold of the gates. To her surprise they did not slam down on her.
Huh, her ID must've been in her bag somewhere already.
Azure eyes focused on a point between her teacher's shoulders.
No matter what was said today, she was not going to give up.
Her fingers curled into tight fists.
She would never give up.
