Two days later, Kakashi and Kagome had already settled into an easy and comfortable routine. She changed his bandages and took several tests to update his condition daily. Kakashi was surprised how easily it seemed to come to her despite the fact she was a recent addition to the hospital.
Unable to quell his curiosity, he decided to inquire a little further. "Kagome-san, how long have you been in the medical field?"
Kagome looked up from scribbling on her clipboard, blinking rapidly. This was the first time Kakashi had asked a more personal question. "I had some non-formal training in my teenage years. A miko in my village taught me some basics as a medic and also how to use the local herbs as medicine."
A miko? He had heard of the priestesses in stories or legends, but hadn't ever encountered the foretold priestesses. "A miko?" He asked, voicing his thoughts out loud.
"Yes." Kagome answered patiently, smiling at him. "I actually grew up on a shrine, so I guess you could call me a bit of a miko myself."
Interesting… Kakashi mused to himself. Picking up on the fact Kagome had specifically said, her village, he supposed she wasn't from Konoha. It was also very rare that Konoha accepted civilians from other areas into their hospital. "You're not from Konoha, Kagome-san?"
Kagome licked her lips, pausing a bit before she answered sadly. "No, I'm actually a long, long way from home…"
Thank you so much for the reviews! I'm definitely feeling love haha (: I would love to hear any more ideas or feedback.
