Disclamer: I don't own any of the InuYasha characters. :(
Its been a few days since the last time I posted a story, and I'm sure this wont be in for at least another day. Sorry to keep you guys waiting, but I've been losing my inspiration. : / it makes me very unhappy. Reviews and ratings will pick up my mood, though. *hint hint* lol. Sorry, I'll start the story now. :)

"Oof. InuYasha. You don't have to carry me. It's just a sprain. I'm sure of it." Kagome nonetheless let InuYasha pull her onto his back with a minimum of argument. While sitting on a rock eating their picnic, which consisted of Instant Ramen for both of them and quite a lot of sandwiches, where InuYasha ate over half, Kagome had been walking along the clearing in the woods to stretch her legs and she had tripped and fallen over a protruding root. InuYasha had caught her, but not before she twisted her ankle. Now, the horses were following InuYasha.
He really does have a way with animals... I wonder how he does that? Kagome sighed and laid her head against InuYasha's shoulder. She could smell the scent of him, and was pleased, but not surprised, that he was wearing no cologne. He also didn't seem to smell like aftershave or shaving cream either. She gave a small smile.
InuYasha grunted at her previous attempts at walking, and grumbled, "Well I wouldn't have to carry you if you weren't so clumsy."Kagome gave him a light slap on his arm and smiled again. "Well you could always let me pay for my clumsiness by, oh, I don't know, letting me walk? Or, I could ride Ciaran. I'm sure he wouldn't grumble about my clumsiness."
InuYasha snorted. "Duh, wench, horses can't talk. At least, not so you can understand them."
"Hmph. Fine then. Carry me all the way back home. Put your back in jeopardy. Put your ranching career in jeopardy, becuase I'm too heavy for one man to carry on his back for as long as you'll have to carry me." Kagome would have folded her arms across her chest, but they were holding tight to InuYasha's shoulders. "And I am not a wench." Kagome turned her head to the side and ignored InuYasha for the next five minutes before he suddenly stopped. "What is it? Why'd you stop?" She looked around worriedly, then gave a sigh of relief upon hearing her new friend Sango yelling, "Miroku! You stupid, hentai, lecherous... monk! I can't believe you did that again!!!" Kagome counted to 3 in her head, and was satisfied when she saw the man with dark hair and eyes run towards them. I guess his name is Miroku.
"Ahh, my friends from yesterday. What a pleasant surprise. Sango and I-" He was cut off by Sango smacking him in the head with her large boomerang.
"We were just having a discussion about how rude it is to touch a woman's backside!" She turned her blazing eyes to Kagome, and her eyes softened into a welcoming hello. " Kagome! Uh... Why are you on InuYasha's back?" She eyed the two speculatively and before Kagome could answer, InuYasha did.
"I'm taking her home because she's clumsy and twisted her ankle. Honestly, who wouldn't have seen a root 4 inches out of the ground?" InuYasha rolled his eyes, though Kagome didn't see it, and started walking again. "You two... maybe not the lecher... are welcome to come back with us, if you'd like. That is, if you don't mind being under the watchful eyes of Kagome's step mom and dad."
Kagome narrowed her eyes at InuYasha. "Yeah, Sango you and Miroku are welcome to follow us. And I didn't see that root because I wasn't looking at the ground. I was looking at- uh, something else." Kagome blushed and ducked her head hoping no one noticed her little mistake. Of course, all three of them noticed.
"Kagome, what were you looking at? Or rather... who?" Miroku did his best to keep the smile off of his face, but only barely succeeded. "I think I know who he is. And he's right under your nose." InuYasha looked confused at Miroku, then his eyes widened and he blushed a deep crimson before looking away.
"Miroku, don't tease her like that. I'm sure she was looking a the beautiful scenery, right Kagome?" Kami bless Sango. I would never have thought of that.
"Of course. I was looking at the... trees." She could feel InuYasha's smile, as if he knew that she was lying. Of course he of all people would know. This is great. Just great.
"Yes, I've heard that the... trees... are beautiful this time of year." Miroku, bless him, decided to play along. Though he did still have a bit of a smile on his face.
Kagome felt her face flush and buried her head against InuYasha's shoulder for the rest of the walk home.

"Oh, Kagome... I remember when you were a little girl that you were always falling, but I thought you'd grow out of it... I guess not." Kagome grimaced in pain as her step mom wrapped her ankle up in a bandage. She looked at her dad sheepishly.
"You know, Daddy, you're starting to sound like InuYasha. He was making fun of my clumsiness." Kagome made another grimace, though this time it wasn't cuz of the pain. "I'm not that clumsy. And I only fell once... twice... around him. If I had my bow and arrows, I'd show him how clumsy I am." She began muttering evilly under her breath.
Her step mom laughed. "Patrick, I think I hear wedding bells." She winked conspiratorilly at Kagome and grabbed Patrick's arm. "C'mon, lets go see what Damian and Delilah are doing." And she and Kagome's dad walked off with her dad arguing about whether Kagome was ready to be married or not.

Okay! Hmm, sorry it took so long for me to post it. It turned out pretty okay, I think.
Well, rate and review. :)
