The small cafe had seemed inviting enough upon first glance. It was still early on Saturday and chilly enough that a warm drink would have been much welcomed. However upon entering, Kagome realized that it was perhaps a bad idea.

Years of being away from the feudal era of Japan had left her unable to pick up on most youki, more so these days with how many youkai roamed the streets. Yet she just had to choose that cafe.

"Hey, Kagome!" Yuusuke called her over as she wondered why there never were any holes to crawl into when one needed them.

She was blushing as she shuffled her way over to the counter. "Hello, Yuusuke-kun. So... This is where you work, huh?" She couldn't help the nervous laugh that bubbled out of her mouth.

In return, he gave her a strange look, before a very wolfish grin took over his face. "You look cold, need something to warm you up?"

She glanced between him and the board detailing all the choices. "Sure... What's good here?"

He leaned against the cash register, his grin never leaving his face. That should have been her first warning, especially after spending so much time with him. "Well, to warm you up, there's coffee, tea, or me."

When what he said registered in her mind, she couldn't help the blush that spread across her face in embarrassment and anger. It wasn't enough to keep her from reaching over and pinching his cheek as hard as she could, though.

"Is 'pervert' your only setting!"

He was still grinning even as he rubbed his cheek from the pain. "At least I'm a creative one."

She glared. "If you were going for a pick-up line, you failed. I'll have a green tea, perv."
