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?”
“Can’t you disguise yourself then..? That way, we could say a robber shot you as he tried to steal you wallet… I think that would be the easiest way….” Even though she didn’t really wanted to show, how worried she was about the thief… she just couldn’t hide it. This all happened because of her after all.
“Even if I did that, they’d call the hospital. A disguise probably wouldn’t be of much help in that case, and it’d bring too much attention if we didn’t let them get help….” Kid explained, face turning slightly serious as he considered the options. Then he seemed to remember she was likely more concerned with the injury than thinking about how a thief needs to operate, because he turned back to her and smiled.
“Which is why it’d be better if you could go in yourself, Aoko-ojou. Don’t worry… I promise I won’t run off.”
