Kagome sighed to herself.
She should've known that Endeavor would rear his head eventually. It'd been a miracle he'd kept away for so long in the first place. A part of her wanted to believe that there was a flicker of guilt that held him back. That prevented him from approaching her before now. The Sports Festival simply provided Endeavor the excuse he needed to come forward.
Her lips thinned at that thought.
She didn't like this.
Not one bit.
The young woman clapped her palms to her cheeks, "Focus!"
She could think about what to do later. Right now she needed to get her head back into the game. Her first fight would be against Inuyasha, which meant that she couldn't hold anything back.
Kagome bit into her bottom lip.
Inuyasha.
Why did that name sound so familiar?
He even looked familiar for that matter.
Had they met somewhere before this? She couldn't quite remember.
She scratched at her chin thoughtfully.
"So if Alpha Commander is his father, then that means we might have met when we were younger." It wouldn't be all that shocking. She had gone over to the Todoroki Estate fairly frequently to play with Touya, Shouto and the rest of the siblings in her youth. It wouldn't be uncommon for the children of other top heroes accompanying them for the afternoon.
"Guess I'll have to ask Dabi about it later," Kagome rolled her shoulders. "For now let's just focus on the fight!"
There were only a few rounds left.
Just a few matches before she could assert to the world her true strength.
Kagome clenched her fists, "I'll win this!"
For no one's sake but her own.
She didn't need Black Abyss to win nor did she need to keep living her life in her father's shadow.
Today would mark the first day she'd truly step out of his legacy of death.
Her lips curved upwards, "Just a little longer."
Then everything would be settled.
