The drive was somewhat awkward, for Kagome at least.

He kept teasing her, which left her in situations that brought on Sam's attention to which he questioned and left Kagome to flounder in trying to answer or dance around his questions.

Oh, teasing his little human was something he was never going to tire of. Especially now that he didn't have to hide himself. Sadly, he could only go so far with his teasing in his current state. Pausing in his thoughts, he wondered about the current situation between Kagome and himself.

He was an Autobot, her a human. Not only that, the others would be sure to notice his reluctance to part with her. Using her strange energies that had somehow caught Decepticon attention, would only go so far.

What could he say when Optimus decided another Autobot would be a better candidate in protecting her?

He felt connected to her, she had somehow reached his very Spark. Something he had thought no human was capable of, but this tiny slip of a human somehow did. Unknowingly or not, they were connected, and he didn't want to even begin to think what would happen should they be forced apart.

As if feeling his unease, Kagome's energy leaked and brushed against his Spark in a soothing manner. Her body's actions followed a few moments behind.

This cemented the fact that she was his in his mind all the more.
