Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #28: Pas de Bourrée

She wiggled to be put down.

At first, he did not release her. “Are you sure that is wise? I do not want you to injure yourself further or overtax yourself.”

She pushed against his chest. “I believe we’ve had this conversation before. I’m not a child.”

Their eyes met. There was something in his eyes.

“I am fully aware that it is a woman I hold in my arms.”

She flushed.

He chuckled, dispelling her discomfiture. He was teasing her again!

“Come. I shall assist you.”

When her feet touched the floor, she took several small steps without stumbling. 

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Naive little Kagome. She only thinks his flirting is his way of teasing her, a lot like what Miroku will do, but in fact, Akahito is sincere in his persuit of her.  What will she do when she finds out he is serious and not just teasing? Find out!
