Stunned

Her scent hit him as she wrapped her arms around him leaving him stun. Yes, there was the smell of earth but there was this other underlying scent. He took a deep breath, sorting out the scents and found her true scent, cherry blossoms after a spring shower; it suited her. The next thing he noticed was her proximity to him, her body was warm, soft and fit nicely against him.

Her chuckle awoke him from his observation only to find that her warm body was no longer pressed against his and she was now a few feet away laughing. How was it that this human was once again able to best him? But all his mind would conjure up was her warmth wrapped around his person. He mentally shook his brain and took a better look at the miko.

She slowly wiped away the tears of laughter. It truly was priceless the stun look on his face and she looked at his face to see it again but what she found was him intently starring at- her . . .? She slowly looked behind her and finding nothing else of interest turned around, only to find him but a few inches from her, startling her.

He slowly and gently began wiping the mud from her face being meticulous to get every bit off her. She truly was beautiful. He watched the awe enter her eyes before she diverted them as a blush appeared on her cheek and began to deepen to his amusement.

Kagome had never truly looked at Toga but with him just a few inches from her she couldn't help but see him for what he was. He was utterly perfect, from his hair to his flawless skin, to even his clothes. If anyone would have told her that she would think that of him but just an hour ago she would have told them, 'they were crazy!' But now she wasn't so sure.

He finished wiping off the last of the mud and gently tilting her face, brought her focus back to him. Slowly and carefully with his other free hand he brought it to her face and pressed.

She squirmed as she felt a cool slick substance pressed into her skin and watched in amazement as Toga stepped back, merriment dancing in his eyes and copying her pose, started to laugh.

Upon her meticulously clean face was a mud handprint of his hand.
