Levi and Kagome silently enjoyed their cups of tea. Levi's eyes never left her and Kagome pretended not to notice that he was staring at her. His gaze was intense.

"Why?" he suddenly asked her.

"Why, what?" she tilted her head to the side.

"Why are you making dinner and doing laundry for a family that isn't your own?"

"It's the least I can do. When Kaeda takes her nap, I really don't have anything else to do. It's not like I have a husband and kids to go home to," Kagome finished the last bit of tea in her cup, "Besides, I enjoy doing this."
