Taking a seat in one of the chairs that had been set up in her room he got more comfortable as he was finally learning more about his daughter, and she was being honest in answering his questions.
"What sort of training? Why would you need training to begin with?"
"Oh, I grew up on a shrine back in Tokyo. As you already know." she gave him a sly smile that he could only return and started to scoot the chair closer to where she was sitting. "Well, after my 15th birthday, I got interested in the duties that are required as an acting miko for the shrine."
Pepper smiled at the scene, father and daughter. Kagome was finally opening up and sharing with her what she had been doing, the reason why she had missed so much school in Jr. High. She could only chuckle at Tony's next question.
"What's with all the so called illnesses?"
Kagome groaned and buried her face into a pillow she had grabbed and placed into her lap. "That was Jii-chan. For some reason he got it into his head, that for when I was away he would call in saying I was sick with some ridiculous illnesses."
She smiled a fond smile though as she plucked at a corner of the pillow. "Mostly, I think it was because Hojo would hand him free products from his family's pharmacy. Jii-chan would tell him my 'symptoms' and Hojo would bring some things over, for free. It was a nice gesture, but was probably his attempt at winning me over. Jii-chan used everything Hojo handed him."
AN: Totally forgot that today was father's day, well not really. But it never occured to me to write a little piece between our father-daughter duo. Perhaps later. Other than that; read, enjoy, and review!
