She walked behind him, her feet feeling like deadweights in the summer heat. How long had it been since they had rested?

An hour? Two? Four?

Oh, she was sure it had been in the early morning since they had last stopped. Now the heavy, bright, burning sun flared down from its highest crest in the sky, ensnaring the earth with ungodly heat.

She needed water.

She needed food.

And her feet needed some serious T.L.C!

She opened her mouth to illustrate just how exhausted she felt when she became aware that world had become to tilt.

First, it was a very big pain in her left foot.

Then, it was wind rushing past her face.

And then, it was the dirt and rocks that planted themselves in her face.

No, they hadn't planted, for dirt and rocks had no way of planting themselves onto anything.

Kagome lay on the ground in a daze, trying to figure out how she had inexplicably ended up face first on the dirt path that she and an annoying inuyoukai were currently using.

"Human."

The voice made her fingers twitch and she mumbled out a string of unintelligible words.

"You will stand immediately."

Now her eyebrows twitched, but still she did not get up. She was too tired, and, frankly, she just wanted to annoy the hell out of the daiyoukai.

"Wench, you will stand immediately and place yourself into a more suitable position before I force you to," there was a pause, in which Kagome was sure he had begun to lift that stupid, perfect white eyebrow that he had begun to use so often in order to demonstrate the few emotions he dared to show.

"That is, of course, unless your puny human, feminine strength cannot hold up that large bulk of a corpse you call fit to-."

He never had a chance to finish his sentence, because the minute he commented on Kagome's weight, she was standing and glaring at the overly confident, smug inuyoukai. Forcing a bright smile on her face, Kagome walked right beside Sesshomaru. She pulled back her hand behind his back, "You're right, Sesshomaru," she said, "Forgive this puny, human, feminine strength of mine. Next time, I'll be sure to fall in a more suitable position from exhaustion."

And with that, she sent a wave of miko powers searing through her arm to her hand, which she then used to smack Sesshomaru kindly on the back.

Sending that smug inuyoukai forward a good 20 yards.

That'll teach him how to talk to a woman, Kagome thought self-righteously. And with that, she turned on her heels, and walked away.
