Chivalrous

For a long moment, Kagome was sure he was going to throw her question back in her face. It seemed the kind of thing he would do, especially as she couldn't really see him having very may friends. His silence disturbed her, made her wonder just what was going through that mind of his.

The only thing that stopped her from interrupting was the way he stood, the way that though his face was and eyes were blank, there was no harshness there, only the look of someone lost in thought. And so when he nodded, she relaxed, and offered a brilliant smile before taking his arm. "I'm glad, on both counts," she said shyly, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye as he led her to the door.

"Hn. Why?" he demanded, honestly curious. He didn't think he would ever understand this woman. Opening her coat closet, he pulled free her black coat. Motioning for her to turn around, he spread it open and waited for her to slip her arms inside.

The chivalrous actions surprised her, but she smiled again and shook her head, before turning and slipping her arms inside. "Because I want to know you too."
