Understatement
Kagome's eyes blinked open and she found herself staring up into Kakashi's half-covered face. "Um…" she mumbled unintelligently. Instinctively she wanted to move away, but found herself in his arms. Unwittingly, a blush stole over her face. What happened? She started to wonder, only for it all to come back, leaving her heart heavy. He's gone.
"I-I can walk," she directed a little breathlessly. Kakashi slid his arm from the crook of her knees, but his other arm lingered around her waist until she was steady on her feet. She looked up at him from under her lashes, shyly murmuring, "Thank you."
He glanced away and cleared his throat. "No problem." A short silence followed before he asked, "Are you feeling alright?"
Her smiled wavered, but she rallied. "I've waited a long time for that moment and it was a complete disaster."
A/N: Weekends used to mean relaxation. Not the case anymore. I keep a part-time job while I go to school. Retail sucks the life out of my soul... Good thing I have fanfiction and all you awesome people! I'll tap a few chapters out tonight now that I seem to have a few hours to myself. Also, special thanks to Sugar0o who showers me with more praise than I deserve. :bow:
