"Thank you for bringing me my homework." She smiled at him.
"Any time, Kagome-san."
She huffed softly, "I told you, just call me Kagome."
"Right, sorry, Kagome." The young woman stared off into the distance. Kurama sat next to her and observed her intently. It was easier to see the old age her eyes seemed to carry now that she let down her guard. What has she seen? Does it have something to do with her absences?
"You must have noticed that I am actually not sick."
"Why were you absent today, Kagome?"
She sighed, pulling her legs to her chest, "Today is the day I lost my friends. I can never get them back."
.o.O.o.
A/N: I need more dialogue between them :/ She's working towards that, but Kags just doesn't fully trust him (or anyone) yet. Don't worry, we will get there soon enough.
