It was most definately intended for her to look surprised. *First a little back ground on the scene* Kagome (the girl) finds herself falling in love with the rough-around-the-edges Inuyasha. She tries to deny it to herself, but knows she's hooked on him. Throughtout the whole series, we see them start to fall for each other but neither one wants to admit it. This scene depicts the very first embrace between the two. Inuyasha pulls Kagome into a strong embrace because he's worried about her and doesn't want her to get hurt from all of the demons he fights. (He tries to cover this act up in a later scene by ripping the necklace containing what's called Jewel Shards off of her neck and pushing her down the well to go back to her own time.) To make a long story short, it's the first time in the series that we get to see the "softer side" of Inuyasha and this sudden change in him shocks Kagome. Whew! There. Hope that clears things up a bit. I'm glad you liked this picture. This was the first one I've ever done depicting any physical contact between characters.
