Unexpected Delight

He watched in amusement as the little vixen, squealed, jumped from foot to foot in place, spun around and then clapped her hands all at once in joy. It was very intriguing how one minute she was a shrew and the next she was giddy as a child. He found it . . . endearing? 'Hn.'
Kagome could not believe it; this was exactly what she had needed and to think he had actually led them here. She kicked off her shoes and went for the obi forgetting about Toga's presence in her excitement to get into the water.
He watched as she tried vainly to reach the back of the knot, tilting left with her left arm behind grasping for anything and then with her right, her tongue sticking out the side of her mouth in her focus. Then she let out a huff of air, frustration and agitation surrounding her as she hung her head down. Slowly and purposefully he made his way to her.
She jumped as a pair of black boots with mud-covered pants entered her view. Startled she looked up to see Toga watching her a twinkle in his eyes as he walked towards and around behind her. "Umm."
Toga now standing behind her slowly reached out and started undoing the obi, eliciting an, 'oh' from the girl. He could feel the heat of her embarrassment rising of her skin and he couldn't resist the chuckle that left his lips nor the urge to breath her scent in as he undid the obi.
She felt another blush fighting its way on to her face as she felt his breath on the back of her neck. 'Control, Kagome,' she chanted to herself. She then felt herself being tugged and the obi was loose and falling to the floor. Her eyes went round as she grasped her Kimono front keeping it shut, her face turning a bright red. Holding her kimono securely to herself she quickly stepped away from Toga and facing him nodded her thanks.
He slightly arched a brow and then nodding his head in acknowledgement left.
