Logan was gone for a month. Within that time period, Kagome continued to work on her meditation and also her training that she had started with Logan, though she missed him terribly. She was confused and hurt, Kagome didn't understand why Logan had left so abruptly. Was it because of her, was she getting on his nerves? Whatever the reason, she wanted him back.
Of course Kagome didn't sit in her room and pining away for Logan, she went to class, studied hard, continued her mentor lessons with Professor Xavier. She had already shown signifigant progress with her telepathy and telekinisis, faster than the Professor thought she would. It had to be because of her discipline as a Miko that she was able to catch on so quickly. But studying wasn't the only thing she did, Kagome went out with her friends to the movies or to the mall, or just hanging out in each others' dorm room or in the game room.
And every other weekend Happy would drive up from New York to pick her up and take her to see her father. Kagome thought it was weird that she didn't see her father every weekend, what she didn't know was that on those weekends when he wouldn't see Kagome, Tony would be in Japan visiting Nodoka.
On this particular weekend, Kagome was visiting Tony and his newly finished Stark Tower, "So, Baby Girl, what do you think?" Tony asked as he showed her around The Tower.
"The top ten floors are nothing but R & D, so your daddy has somewhere to go play."
Tony said as he playfully tweeks her nose. Kagome playfully slaps his hand away and sticks out her tongue.
"It's very nice, Daddy," Kagome said as she stared out over the New York skyline, "did you build the tower yourself?"
"Parts of it, yeah. Let me show you to your room." Tony led Kagome from the balcony further into the penthouse.
They went down the hallway that led to the bedrooms, The first down on the right was Kagome's room, he opened it and ushered her in. The room was absolutely beautiful, Tony had taken the time and energy to decorate it himself with a little help from Nodoka. It was exactly the way Kagome would have done it herself, she turned to her father and jumped into his arms.
"Thank you, Daddy, it's perfect!" She said as she gave him a big hug and kissed him on the cheek.
"I also have a room set up for your mom and Souta, I forgot to tell you that your mother has agreed to spend the summer with us as soon as Souta is out of school. He will be getting out before you so they'll be able to attend your graduation."
Kagome's smile faltered a bit.
Tony frowned, "What's the matter Kagome, what's on your mind."
"I just remembered that I haven't told Mom that I'm a mutant, and I don't know how she's going to react."
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that, I took care of it." Tony informed Kagome."
"You did, when?"
"Right after you started school, I talked to your mom and explained everything, she accepted it pretty easy. I guess after all the stuff you've done in the past, this didn't come as that big of a shock to her."
Kagome's beautiful smile appeared on her face again, "Thank you, Daddy, I had no idea how to tell her, does Souta know?"
"I don't know, Baby, but I'm sure she told him."
Once that was all settled, Tony took Kagome to dinner and then to a musical. After that the rest of the weekend passed by very well, with Tony and Kagome working in his garage, he was teaching her how to rebuild an engine.
Once the weekend was over, Happy drove Kagome back to school. As she said goodbye to Happy she noticed that the garage door was open, from where she stood she could see a certain someone's bike was parked inside. Logan had returned.
Logan had returned after being away for a month. When realizing how much he cared for Kagome he had to get away to sort through his feelings. He rode his bike all the way to Canada, there he set up a little camp and sat there in thought. He tried to deny his feelings for at least two weeks. When he finally gave in, Logan searched his memory, he had long since gotten his memories back, to see if he had ever felt this way about any other woman before. In his long life, he had many lovers and been in love a few times, but never had he felt this strong pull towards someone like he did for Kagome. She meant everything to him, but was that a good enough reason to pursue her? After all she was only 18 and still in high school.
'Not for long.' Logan thought.
Logan did have a lot of enemies that would love to hurt him by hurting or killing her.
"But it's obvious that she's not helpless, there's more to her than she's letting on" He said to himself.
And then of course there was Stark, was he really willing to put up with that egotistical, narcissistic asshole without killing him?
For this question, Logan paused for quite a while. "Yes, yes I am."
His decision made, Logan got back on his bike and headed back to Xavier's school.
When he got there he was dirty, he was tired and he was hungry. So the first thing he did was grab something to eat and a beer then went upstairs to shower and go to sleep. When we he woke up he went in search of Kagome.
*She isn't here, Logan* Charles informed him.
Logan made his way up to Charles' office, when he got there he barged in, "Where the hell is she?"
"She's spending the weekend with her father, she should be back anytime. Are you sure about the path you want to take?"
"Yeah, I am, if Kagome accepts me I want to be with her. Is that going to be a problem?"
"Kagome is an adult and can make her own decisions, and she's is almost finished with school, so I see no problem. The biggest opposition you are going to have is from Tony Stark himself, are you prepared to deal with it?"
"I'll do whatever it takes."
"Good."
While Logan is talking to Charles, Kagome had just gotten back. She walked into the garage and stared at his bike, her eyes narrowed. With a huff, Kagome went inside and went straight to her room. She called her dad and told him she had arrived safely, then Kagome changed into a pair of sweat pants, a sports bra, and a light jacket, she went outside to the trails.
Kagome was so mad that she didn't even bother to meditate. She stretched and took off up the hill. Kagome made it up the hill without breaking a sweat. She moved on to the next one and finally the most difficult one, the one that Logan used. She looked at the daunting hill and all it's obstacles with a determined look. Kagome took a deep breath and started running. She avoided roots and rocks, leaping over fallen trees and avoiding traps. When she made it to the top she was a little bit winded. Kagome gave herself time to recover then ran back down.
Logan was waiting for her down at the bottom, he smirked at her when he saw her come down the hill, "I see you finally made it to the top, Princess."
Kagome scowled at him and walked away. He pushed off the tree he was leaning against and followed her. "Since you finally did it, you're ready to start sparring now. So come on, Princess, let's go."
Kagome stopped so abruptly that Logan almost crashed into her. She turned around and looked up at him. "What makes you think I want to spar with you now or ever for that matter?"
Logan, smirked, "Because you've been dying to spar with me again ever since we came to a draw the first time." He said as he walked past her, "So come on."
Kagome gritted her teeth, she hated the fact that he was right. Kagome had to jog to catch up to him. They made their way into the school down into the lower levels where the training room were. Logan opened a door to one of the rooms and let Kagome in, she blew right past him not even looking at him. He took a deep breath inhaling her scent, Logan had to repress a sigh.
Logan walked into the room and shut the door, once he turned around, Kagome kicked him in the face, knocking him to the floor. He got up and smiled at her as his busted lip healed, this just infuriated Kagome more. She attacked him again, punching him in the stomach. Only this time she channeled her Miko powers into her hands to protect them and to add force behind the blow. The punch doubled Logan over, he looked at her wide eyed.
"How did you do that?!"
Kagome only smirked at him, then he noticed her hands were glowing pink. She went at him again, though this time he started blocking her blows, finally Kagome swept his feet out from under him making him fall hard on the mats.
She staddled him, "Do you give up?"
"Never, Princess."
With that he grabbed her with his legs and reversed the pin. Logan pinned her arms down, but she continued to struggle. He stared at her for a moment, then slowly, as not to frighten her, he lean in. Kagome's eyes widened as she realized what he was about to do. Logan kept leaning closer and closer until finally their lips met.
Kagome's eyes were still wide, until she started kissing him back, her eyes slowly slid close. Logan pulled back and stared at her. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled at him, he returned the smile.
"Wow, you know that was my first kiss and it was amazing." Kagome said with a blushed.
"You're right it was amazing, for your first kiss. I can't wait for the second." Logan said with a smirk.
"So what does this mean, Logan?" Kagome questioned.
"It means your mine now, that is if you want to be."
Kagome wrapped her arms around Logan's neck, "I would love to be your girlfriend." Then kissed him again.
When they pulled apart, Kagome had this worried look on her face, "What about my dad?"
"What about him?"
"He's going to freak when he finds out, he may even send me back to Japan."
Logan pecked her on the lips, "First, you're 18, you can date whoever you want," He pecked on the lips her again, "second, if he sends you back, I'll just follow, " He pecks her on the lips a third time, "and third, your old man doesn't have to know."
"You mean hide our relationship from him?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, I can do that."
Logan laughs, helps her up and hugs her to him.
"Does that mean you'll stop calling me Princess?"
"Nope, because your my Princess."
