"I'll change your bandages first." Kagome informed him, her gentle touch settling on his torso where the worst of his wounds were.
"Ah. Right." Kakashi said, pulling down the hospital blanket so it was easier for her to get to the bandages. She began to unravel the bandages, her hands moving deftly and quickly with skill and ease. He tried very hard to ignore the tingling sensation that lingered where her soft skin grazed his own skin, and was actually succeeding until Kagome's words interrupted his concentration.
"So Kakashi-san," She began casually. "Have you been trying to find a girlfriend lately?"
Kakashi stiffened immediately, knocking Kagome's hands back. "W-What?" He said in surprise, his visible eye swivelling to meet Kagome's amused expression.
"Calm down." She said firmly. "We can't have you at risk of re-opening your wounds." She chided gently before bursting into giggles. "The look on your face!"
Kakashi felt a bit insulted. Had she mentioned that for the sole purpose of startling him?
"I just noticed that just the other day Sakura-chan had been poking her nose into my non-existent love life. The day after that she was begging to take care of her Sensei who had just returned from a very dangerous mission that required a lot of skill and gotten put into the hospital after saving all his teammates." Kagome's eyes sparkled, her lips still quirked into a smile. "I put two and two together and realized she was trying to set me up with her teacher. And I thought you might have put her up to it."
Kakashi shook his head. "I assure you I did no such thing. My students just have a penchant for meddling with my personal life." Kakashi replied, mentally promising to have a word with Sakura once she returned.
"So you're not interested in me?" Kagome asked, stunning blue eyes locking onto his own.
The bold question threw Kakashi off, his mind struggling to find an appropriate answer. He was pretty sure saying no would offend her, but admitting to it might just label him a pervert. Kakashi was quiet for several seconds before he settled on, "She was right when she said you were pretty." He confessed.
Kagome blushed, a faint red dusting her cheeks. "Thank you." She replied quietly before her returning to her duty of redressing his wounds.
