Kagome bites down on her smile.

There's the sound of a door covering rustling, and she watches his eyes fix somewhere behind them. Silent. Considering. But they soften as they turn back to her, and he leans down and cups her chin, his thumb pulling her lip free of her teeth.

"Until later," he murmurs.

She nods and tilts her face up to his. "Okay."

His kiss is brief and light, but she still has to grip his front to steady her feet.

The corners of his lips twitch, and then he's gone in a whirl of silk and silver.
