She frowned as she sat there with the others in her class. Her blue eyes narrowed as she looked down at her Zanpaku-to. It was being obstinate. Then again, she couldn't fault it for that personality. The spirit residing in it had to be a fucking joke of Buddha's. But then again, she did wonder about having protection. Just... she hadn't...thought it would be...him. And it had her brow twitching as her instructor looked expectantly at her.

"I am sorry, Sensei, but he does not want... to cooperate," she muttered just loud enough to be heard.

This had her instructor looking at her with a bit of a worry. In the two years she had been in the Academy; she had to be careful. Right off the bat with the entrance exam, she had made waves before toning it back a bit. Though the damage had been done, she had been put into the second class after outright refusing the first. Accelerated learning was not her thing. Though it was nice to be in school again. And she had the opportunity to finish this time.

"Miss Higurashi, what do you think will help you get him to work with you?"

Looking up from her Zanpoku-to to her teacher, she sucked her bottom lip into her mouth and cutting off all communication with the sword. She knew of one way she was able to learn and learn quickly. And it would be a dick move on her part because it would force him to do as she asked, which would be his just deserts even if later she had to deal with the fallout.

Smiling up at her instructor, whose eyes went wide as she spoke, "Attack me with all the killing intent you can muster, Sir. I have a feeling I have to be put in danger or near death before he decides to be... helpful."

There was a collective gasp from those around her. The idea was not as insane as it sounded. In a worst-case scenario, she could build a shield with her Reiki, masking it as a Kid she's mastered already. Besides, she knew for a fact that it had been done before. Just that the Head Captain, of the Seireitei 13 and the first squad, didn't like that method to be used.

"Are... you sure?"

Giving a solemn nod of her head, Kagome stood up and took a deep breath and watching as the teacher waved a hand that had the rest of the class rushing to the outer edges of the classroom. She could feel their anticipation and excitement hung heavy in the air. Their aurae were charged and waiting. She knew the command to release her Zanpaku-to. He had been very upfront about that. Which had left her very shocked?

Her eyes were tracking her Sensei's movements she slid her feet shoulder-width apart, gripping the hilt in both hands and lifting the Zanpaku-to before her. With a small nod, she braced herself for the attack. It was fast, and she almost didn't have time to react and block. The man before her had a serious killing intent rolling off him that had her flesh raising across her body as she allowed the mental barrier down as she pushed back and slid the blade along his.

It took several more blows that had her feeling numb and stumbling. Kagome knew it would have to be soon. Swallowing as she raised the sword just as her Sensei's blade came crashing down.

"Howl, WhiteFang," she whispered.

And it happened. There was a blinding white and green light. A heavyweight that had her arms being jerked down. A loud ringing of metal on the wooden floor. As several loud gasps came from all around her. Lifting her head, giving a cheeky smile, Kagome saw the shock on her teacher's face at what the Shikai of her Zanpakuto now looked like. Because it was not the same as it had looked at the first time. Oh, no! She would be having a much longer talk with that spirit.

"Miss Higurashi..."

She shook her head as she stood up, lifting the massive Fang in her hand. Though she had a new appreciation for the strength that InuYasha had to have had when wielding the damn Fang in this form. And the fact that her body was practically vibrating where she stood next to the damn thing that came to right under her breast, was very telling as a deep growl echoed in the back of her head.

"I will have to talk to him... and as you can tell... he is pissed I did this," she said, nervous laughter mixed in.

A sigh came from her Sensei as he shook his head. When she finally looked around her, she saw the devastation that the Fang has deflected from her — making her blue eyes go wide as she hissed. The other students were looking at her with wide eyes. They were lying or sitting haphazardly away from the two new deep ditches on the floor. She knew she was screwed.

"Fuck," she growled as she turned her gaze back to the sword as it shifted back to its standard form.

"That is the least of your worries, Miko," a deep, rumbling voice growled in the back of her head, causing her body to shudder visibly.

TBC!
