Haru and Kagome walked on in silence as they continued down a street that was starting to look very familiar, Haru looked at Kagome at the corner of his eye, since she was the one leading them to their destination. Seeing how Kagome seemed to be lost in thought, Haru got lost in his, the conversation that led to this moment flashing through his head.
Kagome stood back to full height and cast another smile in Haru's direction, that Haru unconsciously smiled back in response. "I was wondering if it were possible to talk with you?" Kagome asked, looking into Haru's eyes as if looking for an answer.
Haru kept a calm face despite his heart beating wildly in his chest, keeping an even tone concealing his excitement Haru replied, "That should be fine, and can I ask what you want to talk about and where you wish to have this discussion."
The blush that emerged on Kagome's face due to the inquiry made Haru raise his eyebrow and the stuttered answer had him giddy inside, "Um, I was wondering if we could go somewhere else to talk, and as to what we will be talking about, well um that will be known once we are at a different location," noticing Haru's blank face Kagome realized how her words could possibly be taken and hurriedly continued, "But don't worry, I'm not going to jump you or anything."
Haru had to stifle a laugh when Kagome realized that she had just dug a deep hole for herself and then continued to dig it dipper by continuing to ramble, "Not that I would jump anyone. I really couldn't see anyone wanting to jump you, except to pounce on you to ravish you. Oh my kami, I didn't mean to say that out loud, and now you know that I would think that. Damnit, I am going to stop talking now." Kagome went from waving her hands to blushing and then to looking down at embarrassment. Now Haru really couldn't keep in his laughter or the warming feeling that rushed through him, Kagome was still the same girl to stick her foot in her mouth and then while trying to get it out lodged it ten feet deeper.
Kagome became flushed with anger and embarrassment and Haru quickly cut off his laugh with a cough. "Where do you want to talk?" Haru stated, trying to get the conversation back on track. As amusing it was to watch Kagome, he really wanted to know where he stood in regards to their relationship and how much he needed to do to help her regain her memories and make her his.
"Just follow me," Kagome exclaimed while grabbing his hand to lead him past the school gates, she had a mission and she was determined to complete it.
