"Listen, if this has anything to do with Hojo, you don't have to worry. I never really was interested in the guy. Was kinda... busy since I turned 15 to have any real interest in any guy." there it was again, that fidgeting and vague reply.

"Busy doing what?" while he may have been busy going over possible scenarios that involved Kagome and any future lawsuits against any male student, his mind had been piqued at her unclear explanation.

"Traveling. Did a lot of traveling."

"Traveling? Where?"

"Uh, in Japan. Pretty much traveled all over Japan. And a short stint in China."

He was finally getting something from her, not just vague replies or answers that was far too open for interpretation. "Doing what?"

"It was a sort of..." she furrowed her brows and muttered to herself in Japanese and English, obviously trying to find the word. "...training?"

He could only raise his brows at that one. Training? What on earth would a 15 year old girl need training for?
