5. Over the next few weeks Shizuo notices that, unlike others, Taniyama doesn't seem to be afraid of him at all. Instead of running for cover like a sane woman would, she stands her ground and faces him head on, like some kind of wild animal defending her turf. He's not entirely sure what to make of that. Granted, she's never made him angry enough to send her flying, but part of him is relieved she isn't scared, especially after he almost killed her. However, the other part of him wonders what the hell's wrong with her. Being near him is dangerous and he says so.
But she shrugs, balancing a stack of paranormal books she's carrying, and replies, "If I was worried, would I be here? You are, hands down, not the scariest person I've ever seen."
He likes her attitude, he decides, even if the occultist side to her is hardcore. So he makes no comment, scoops up three of the books that have escaped her grasp, and plops them back on top of her pile.
