Last Time: Sesshoumaru misunderstands.
Daiyoukai and the Female Gender
Chapter 11: Daiyoukai and Aristocracy
"And this is how you write ka."
"Oh. I like writing."
"Ka is the first character in my name."
"Will you teach me how to write your name?"
"I already know how to write Kagome's name."
"Don't be cocky Shippo. Of course I'll teach you Rin." So the miko knew how to write... Hm... And she was teaching his ward how to write. Acceptable. (As the ward of a lord, Rin should learn such things.)
"Miko." She stood and dusted her legs.
"Yes, Sesshoumaru?"
"You shall tutor my ward."
"In what subjects? There's math, science, language, history... The list goes on." He glared. (Was she really that stupid?)
"All of them."
"I'll teach her everything I can."
"Hn."
"She can take her lesson with Shippo. But she'll have to be here everyday." So the kit must have lessons daily. (Seems the miko valued education.)
"Why do ya teach the runt anyway? S'not like he needs it or anything."
"Now, now Inuyasha. Knowledge is a valuable asset."
"Nobody was asking you, bouzu."
"He's right though. Knowledge is power." The miko was interesting. She was learned, shared such knowledge (even though she just said it was power), and had an odd perspective.
"If knowledge is power, then will Rin be powerful?"
"Yes, but not in the way you think."
"Then, in what way?"
"You won't be strong but smarts are just as good."
"Oh. ...Rin does not understand."
"Maybe later in life Rin. For now, focus on learning."
The miko was right. You could do more with knowledge than with might. It was time Rin learned properly.

Sumi: Mega-upload 4/5.
Aerin: We wanted to give you sweet stuff too.
Sumi: Yeah, it's about growing up.
Aerin: Not just menstrual cycles.
Sumi: Although there's still a lot of that.
Sumi and Aerin: On hoping you squee'd and laughed and just plain enjoyed yourselves. Thank you and come again!
