He didn’t answer right away as he looked back to see if the man who had shot at her had followed them. A sigh of relief escaped the thief upon seeing no one and he hugged her tightly, a soft smile on his lips. Why the man had tried to shoot her, he didn’t know.
He didn’t really care to know.
He was just happy the bullet hadn’t hit her.
Kid realised that she probably wouldn’t want any blood getting on her, so he pulled back, though he kept his hands on her shoulders. Red was starting to become evident on his white suit, coming his side. Thankfully it hadn’t hit anywhere more troubling, but he would still need to get it looked to soon…
“Is it so strange to protect someone you care about, Aoko-ojou?”
Her eyes were filled with worry as she saw the blood on his suit. She was totally sure, that it wasn’t her blood. So the only explanation could be, that it was his own one.
“But why…Why are you caring so much about me… You barely know me..” She still didn’t get, how a thief like him, could care so much about the daughter of the policemen, who actually is trying to catch him.
Kid smiled before finally letting go of her shoulders to put some pressure on the wound, only turning away for a moment before looking back at her.
“I know you well enough to know you’re important to me. And I always try to protect what’s important.”
