Haku x Kagome
"Are you alright?"
Averting her eyes, she tried to look anywhere other than the beautifully stunning boy that had saved her butt from a very bad attempt at tree climbing. "U-uh, yeah. I'm fine."
"You should try to be more careful in the future," he replied.
Snapping her eyes up, as he rose and turned to leave, Kagome grabbed at his long sleeve. Then, embarrassment rushing over her once again, she stuttered, "W-wait, what's yo-you're name?"
"My name is Haku," he replied, smiling.
"Oh." She tried not to be dazzled, but her blush was quickly coming back with a vengeance. "Um, my name is Higurashi Kagome."
"It's very nice to meet you, Kagome-san. But, I'm afraid that Zabuza-san is calling."
Allowing his sleeve to slip away, Kagome mumbled, "Oh." Then, watching him go, she placed a hand upon her cheek and tried to calm her beating heart. It was stupid. It was just stupid. Because, knowing her luck, she would never see him again.
