Feeling the heaviness that had settled over Kagome, Tony tried to think of a way to try and disperse it.

"How are your tutoring sessions coming along? Any trouble?"

He watched her raise a brow at the question, her face looking rather deadpan. "You should know. You sit in on them as often as you can."

He coughed into his hand. It was weird how a look from her could make him feel like a disobedient child. Wasn't he the parent in this relationship? He was pretty sure he was, last time he checked.

"Yes, well, it doesn't hurt to ask."

"Well then, they're going along fine I guess. Basically review from my last year of school. And the new material is not that hard to understand." she shrugged her shoulders, there really wasn't much to say.

"That's good to hear." nodding his head, Tony found himself quickly running out of ideas of what to talk about with his daughter.

It made him feel like a lousy father. Something he swore he wouldn't follow in his own father's footsteps, if he ever became a one himself. Not that he had planned it, but now he really didn't have much of a choice. And he wasn't saying that he didn't want Kagome around, he did, it was just adjusting to the situation.

Something Kagome seemed to be excelling at over him, and far too easily.
