They had finally settled on a young tutor, a few years younger than herself actually. It had Kagome mentally rolling her eyes.

Despite the awkwardness between them, Tony sure was stepping into the protective father roll rather easily. Perhaps, a little -too- easily. In fact, if it weren't so aggravating at certain points, she would admit that it was rather cute.

As it was, he was constantly checking up on her during her tutoring sessions. At first it left her tutor, Ken, rather confused to the interruptions, then he got annoyed at them.

Kagome had learned long ago to ignore all distractions while trying to study.

She subconsciously had a list of all the types of interruptions Tony did during her sessions.

The first time was actually an accident, but his continuing of walking through the room wasn't. Next was him actually offering refreshments, when they already had a small platter of drinks and snacks. Third was an interrogation when Ken had gotten too close to her, for Tony's comfort.

Now he sat in on all sessions.

To say Ken was fed up would be an understatement. So he finally forced Tony to participate on the lessons. Otherwise Pepper would have to come in and drag him away.


AN: It was asked if I had been watching a Rosetta Stone commercial when I wrote up that one chapter. Answer... Nope! Only saw a Rosetta Stone commercial once, and I had no idea what it was until I saw Russell Peters O2 online. :D As for everyone who had been wanting Clint, Natasha, Steve or even Bruce to end up her tutor... I'm sorry! Instead you have 12 year old Ken! Please don't hate me. :c I would say when the avengers are going to become involved, but I don't want to ruin it. Because they will appear, among other characters. :D Other than that; read, enjoy, and review!
