Youmu doesn't say anything, but slowly she looks behind him. Vincent, following her gaze, becomes painfully aware that everyone in the room has stopped to watch them.

There are four different pairs of eyes staring at them: Komachi, Yuyuko, Chen, and some strange guy in grey robes. Perhaps he should try to be a bit more subtle with this task.

"I hid it inside my ghost half," whispers Youmu. She seems to be completely embarrassed. He really should have thought this through earlier, but he doesn't know if he will have another chance.

Vincent grabs Youmu's hand and quickly drags her behind one of the shelves at the back. This place looks good enough. Hidden behind the countless ingredients and boxes, he is sure that none of the others can see what they are going to do.

There isn't enough time to explain. Vincent quickly lays his hands on Youmu's ghost half and begins stroking its surface. Slowly, he chants the command word to reset the seal. Like before, he finds himself deep into the sealing trance. By the time he is finished, he almost collapses from exhaustion.

"A-are you alright?" cries Youmu.

"This should be enough for another two days," he mutters with a smile. "Anyway, we should go back before the others suspect something."

Together, the half-ghost and ghost hunter step out from the shelves. Surely, there is some kind of misunderstanding, but the issue of urgency has been resolved. With the seal reset, he can focus on other problems for a while.

"Sorry about that. I just needed to have an urgent talk with Youmu," Vincent says. "Strictly business," he adds.

Youmu nods in agreement, though her face is still quite red.

"Ara?" says Yuyuko with a smile. "Then why are you still holding hands, I wonder~ I wonder~"

Vincent argues...
[ ] Don't say anything, then leave the kitchen.
[ ] Mumble something, then try to change the subject.
[ ] "Youmu is just a friend."
[ ] "She is someone important to me."
[ ] "I-I-I love her!"
[ ] Custom

He is still holding Youmu...
[ ] Let go of her hands immediately.
[ ] Wait for Youmu to pull her hand away.
[ ] Hold her hand tightly.
