Kagome smiled slightly, marveling at just how natural it felt to be in Inuyasha's arms. A true gesture of affection like this was few and far between for them, so every time she got the chance to touch him so intimately, she burned it into her memory, and on bad days she'd look back and remember just why she loved him.
Nearly a minute passed before Kagome sighed and pulled away. Her hand moved to his forehead, pushing away his bangs so she could see his eyes, his gaze met hers and she froze, blushing slightly.

That slight pinkness her cheeks and nose was showing was well...pretty on the young woman. Not that he'd ever really admit it, especially since HE was sporting that same color if not darker. He kept his eyes locked with hers for another moment before looking away bashfully. Clearing his throat he rubbed his nose and made a little 'keh' sound. This moment would stay in his mind forever now, because the exchange they just had promised it...like everytime before. Even if that 'everytime' wasn't very often. Breaking the silence he mummbled,
"...so you're not mad anymore...?"

Kagome shook her head, smiling softly. "It's hard to stay mad at you, Inuyasha." I've never been angry... Just hurt. Standing up, she winced as her knees cracked. Sitting in that position for so long had been a bit painful for her still burned feet, but she wasn't about to admit that to Inuyasha. He'd just worry. Bending slightly, she held out her hand to him to help him up. "Come on. Let's go home."

Furrowing his brow at her hand a moment he repeated the word. "...home?" He wasn't sure why she was suddenly saying that...he always thought THIS was her 'number one' home. Taking it however he stood and looked down at her with perked ears. "Sure seemed like you were in your bedroom..." He commented while crossing his arms when answering her first statment.

Kagome sighed. She didn't feel like getting into another argument with him. "Just let it be, Inuyasha." It was odd that she'd called the Sengoku Jidai home. A Freudian slip, perhaps? She remembered a time when her mother had explained to her why she'd moved to Tokyo, and left all her friends behind. When you love someone, your home is wherever they are. Taking his hand, she pulled him out the back door towards the well house.

"Keh." was his only answer as he followed her. He didn't want to argue anyway...not that he meant to when he did. Furrowing his brow at that he stayed silent thinking it best to do that if he wanted her to stay in a good mood.

Her feet were really starting to hurt. Running around the house had been a bad idea, tripping was worse, and then sitting on her feet like that... Every step she took, she bit back a squeak of pain. Glancing down, she could see spots of red were beginning to show through the bandages around her ankles. Baka, she chastised herself. You can take care of Inuyasha, but you can't take care of yourself.

It wasn't until they reached the wellhouse doors that he finally got a whiff of it. The coppery smell of blood, but it was mixed with Kagome's scent...It seemed his own kept him from noticing anyother. Eyes darting to her feet he sure enough found the source. Scowling outright he grabbed her shoulder, haulting her movement.
"Kagome!"

Kagome smiled guiltily. "It's okay, I'm fine. I'll just change the bandages when we get to Kaede's..." Still... she couldn't walk anymore. It hurt too much. But she didn't want to ask Inuyasha for help either.

Lifting a lip he showed off a white fang before growling to himself. That wasn't another thing he wanted to be reminded of...by Kouga anyway. Grabbing her sleeve he went to the stairs and pulled her down so she had to sit. Gold eyes focused on the 'shooze' she had on, simply making a scoffing sound.
"It's those stupid things."
Reaching for one he took it off her foot quickly but carefully, doing the same to the other. Scowling in dissaproval when seeing the spots of crimson he shook his head.
"Keh, can't even take care'a your own feet."
Turning so his back was to her, the hanyou looked over his shoulder and awaited with arms in place, one hand holding those damned 'shooze'.
"C'mon I'll carry you from now on, till those heal I mean."
He clairified while not looking her in the eye.

Grabbing her shoes, Kagome climbed onto Inuyasha's back wordlessly. One arm around him, she rested her head against his shoulder. She had to admit, Inuyasha was her favorite form of transportation. All those newfangled safety devices on the vehicles of her time couldn't compare to how safe and protected she felt when he carried her.

As she got on like so many times before, the hanyou had to admit...it felt slightly different. Not in a bad way...but not really in a good way either. In a way that they both now understood something with the same veiw, finally making that one thing that once drove them apart, bring them together. Scoffing at his own thoughts and how stupid they seemed, Inuyasha stood on the lip of the well before taking one last breath...relishing that understanding before disappearing into the inky darkness below.
