You--what? [ she's clearly shocked when he says he died because of the Naho Incident. but just as quickly, she covers it up with a smile; now is not the time to be showing any form of emotional weakness, being caught off guard or not.
If anything, she doesn't seem to be angry with Kouha, unlike Kaoru (since it's his sword that's covered in Ema's blood, after all). Just incredibly, incredibly wary.
She can't really argue with the 'one vs. many' mindset he's got going on here, to be honest. It was her whole reasoning for not giving up so easily on leaving here, with or without Youmu. Too many people would die if the Saigyou Ayakashi was left to start killing people in all its demon tree fuckery again. So someone would have had to die for her. So, she doesn't comment on Kaoru's reply to that.
But she returns her focus to him. Questionable motives or not, Kouha wasn't the one who just murdered someone so casually. ]

You gave her a third option...how kind of you.
