"What?"

The question was asked in an almost wary manner as Gray looked at Kagome from top to bottom and she could only pull down the shirt he gave her in a self-conscious response (which was a bit big on her).

"You okay with walking for a while?" Gray asked, glancing at her legs to see if they were toned enough, "Since we're in the middle of nowhere, I won't be able to rent a Magic Four Wheel Vehicle until we reach a town."

"I have no problem with walking," Kagome answered, feeling relieved when he took his eyes off her, "The snow seems to have stopped."

"The next town is at least four hours from here," Gray stated, "It might take longer since we have to walk through the snow and depending on how many breaks we take," He looked at her again, "You sure you're up for it?"

"I'm used to walking long distances," Kagome huffed, knowing he was probably thinking she was too dainty or something of the sort, "The faster we go, the faster we get there." She slid on his jacket, feeling a bit guilty that she had taken it from him despite his insistence.

"Don't worry," Gray smirked, noticing the expression on her face, "The cold doesn't bother me," He said, "I'm an Ice Mage, remember?"

"The cold doesn't bother you?" Kagome followed him as they finally stepped outside from the small inn into the much cooler air, "Is... is that why you're s-stripping your pants off?!" She immediately looked away, feeling her face warm up at the sight.

Gray glanced down, surprised to only find himself in his boxers, "Uh, sorry," He scratched the back of his head, "It's just a bad habit of mine." He was a bit bewildered to find himself admiring the pretty red staining her cheeks.

"What kind of habit is that?!"
