Kenji listened to her after she spoke. He could understand what she was saying. She was similar to Hoshi yet different. Hoshi just flat out believed and Yukiko needed people to believe because of how she lost her friend. "We'll find that thing that killed her Yukiko...we'll stop it...somehow." He said softly. Letting go of her as she sat up some. Not wishing to restrict her movement. Nodding his head a bit. She was right but he still wasn't sure he wanted to believe in paranormal. Yet...what happened last night...couldn't be explained away. It couldn't be explained by anything other than paranormal activities. How else do you explain all that happened? This realization rocked his beliefs and made him question everything he knew. Which made him a tad uncomfortable.<br/><br/>He looked back down to Yukiko. She was stronger than she seemed. She took a lot of stuff into herself and rarely let anyone see it. He was certain he was probably the first person to see her when she felt vunerable or afraid. He looked at her. Listening as she spoke. He could understand what she was saying. Shaking his head. "You won't lose us. We are stronger than we look. Just like you are stronger than you seem." He said softly. "Any other girl I know would have immediately had a break down and be sobbing and screaming in fear. You bravely faced the unknown even though it scared you. That is a skill to be admired." He said to her. "I'll be here for you any time you need someone to be there Yukiko." He promised. It was true. He didn't know how he knew but the desire to be there to help her was strong and intense.<br/><br/>He noticed she listened when he talked. That made him feel good. To have a girl actually listen to what he said versus interrupting him or talking non stop so he couldn't get a word in. He caught the red flush covering her cheeks. He watched her fidgeting and hoped he hadn't felt uncomfortable. He looked at her as she looked up at him. "I believe I am...it isn't my opinion that matters Yukiko. Its your opinion. I see there is more to this cute girl hanging with me in my secret place than meets the eye. That there is more to her than a simple mystery lover of the unknown. Someone I want to learn more about. To learn what other things she is into or cares about. But...thats just me." He said. Rubbing the back of his head in embarressment. He hoped that did not sound stupid. To him, while honest, he thought it might've come out just a bit stupid sounding. He meant what he said though. He really did want to get to know her better.<br/><br/>"Will you let me get to know you better Yukiko? I'll understand if you don't because of our rough start." He said lowering his hand. Looking at her with a warm genuine smile.
