Yu Kanda
Yu Kanda was never one for expressing his feelings, so when it came to the new exorcist, Kagome, he had no idea what to do. She contained a power that rivaled that of innocence called the Shikon No Tama. Carrying around such power caused trouble for the priestess and she was not to go out alone. Akuma was attracted to it, like bees to honey.
Often he found himself curious about the jewel that she carried. Nothing in their records mentioned anything about a Shikon jewel or of anything that rivaled that of innocence. So, when he finally got the courage to ask the woman that plagues his mind all day, he was overjoyed that she had agreed to tell him.
"Kanda, what I'm about to tell you stays between you and me. Do you understand?" the blue-haired samurai nodded his head and leaned by with his arms across his chest. "Alright. This Shikon Jewel is nowhere to be found in your books, no? That's because it's not supposed to exist here in this... world." Kagome had chosen her words carefully, at first. In the end, she ended up pouring her heart out to Kanda. Tears were involved which made him very uncomfortable. He had feelings for this girl and didn't know what to do when she cried. Why did she tell him everything? She wasn't sure herself. Maybe it was because she needed to get it all off her chest.
To Kanda, she was far from useless. Her arrows purified the once human souls, much like their anti-Akuma weapons. A lot of time, he'd be the one saving her from near-death experience due to the jewel that hung around her neck.
"Ah, thanks again Kanda." she would always say with a smile. Like she was used to it.
He got especially worried when she never returned to the small camp they had made inside an abandoned cabin one night during a mission. Allen was worried about her as well, it was easy to read the white-haired male.
"Miss Higurashi has been gone for quite some time now." their finder spoke. "About an hour now I'd say."
"What if she got hurt? Or worse... killed." Allen's leg moved up and down as he thought of all the terrible possibilities that could have happened to the young girl.
Kanda abruptly stood up. "I'm going to go look for her. You stay here in case she returns."
Allen looked at Kanda quizzically. "You never offer to go find someone. Let alone a newbie." A smug smile found its way onto his face, "Unless, of course, you like Kagome." he laughed as a blush found its way to Kanda's cheeks.
"D-don't be ridiculous!" he scoffed and tried to hide his embarrassment. "I'll be back," he grumbled as he grabbed Mugen and took off before Allen could say anything.
Kanda stormed through the dark woods, his mind focused on keeping calm. If anything had happened to her, he'd make sure that they wouldn't live to see the next day. "That damn woman, always getting herself in trouble. Why the hell does she carry that thing around? It's like a magnet for Akuma!"
"Kanda!" A happy voice yelled out from above?
He looked up and wish he hadn't. There she was, the woman who had been missing for over an hour stuck inside a net. "A... little help here?" she let out a nervous laugh as the samurai's eye twitched. With a sigh, he unsheathed his sword and cut the rope holding the net in place. Kagome let out a yelp as she plummeted to the ground.
However, instead of hitting the ground, she landed in a pair of strong arms. "A-ah, thanks..."
He didn't say anything as he set her on his feet. Kagome was confused. Lenalee had told her that Kanda had a bad attitude towards everyone and could care less about what happened. If you messed up, he'd be the first one to point it out. Not once had he done any of those things to her and it left her confused.
She stepped towards him, to see if he was okay, but suddenly she found herself being embraced by him. "K-Kanda?"
"Idiot," he whispered. "I thought... something had happened to you."
"S-Sorry."
He pulled away from her and looked her dead in the eye. "Sorry? That's it! Do you realize how worried I was! I thought you had died or had been kid-" he was cut off by Kagome grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulling him down into a kiss.
He froze, eyes widened at the sudden contact. A heated blush spread across his cheeks
She pulled away from him. Silent for a moment before she had realized what she had done. Her face mimicked his cherry red one. "I-I am so sorry!" she shrieked. "I don't know what came over me! You were yelling at me and before I realized what was happening, I kissed you! B-but you looked... really handsome underneath the moonlight.." she avoided his gaze, looking everywhere but at him.
He touched his lips with his fingers. The soft feel of her lips still lingering. He grabbed her wrist and pulled the priestess into him, forcing her to look up at him. He didn't have to say anything. The look he was giving her said everything he wanted to say and she understood. With a smile, they leaned in simultaneously until they met in a long-awaited kiss.

Eh Sorry if Kanda was a little out of character. I tried.
I had someone ask about requests, I'm willing to do requests.
Some may take longer than others.
But any-hooty hope you enjoy!
