Inuyasha growled at her as she tried to climb out of the well by herself. He took her in his arms and lept out with her. Kagome sighed in irritation as he put her down. "Just because we're mates now does not mean that i am now breakable inuyasha. I can still do things on my own." Inuyasha was about to retort, but thought better of it and kept his mouth closed. He just shook his head and followed her closely. Kagome sighed again. He had been so overprotective since they had become mates last month. The others were getting suspicious of it. They had not told the others about them becoming mates yet. Naraku would be sure to find out and use it to hurt them.
Inuyasha grumbled to himself as he kept a wary eye on his mate. He had a good reason to be like this, but he hadn't told her yet. He was afraid she would be mad when she found out what he had done. It wasn't like he had done it on purpose, but still... he snapped back to reality as kagome let out a yelp and started to fall. He lept forward and caught her before she hit the ground. He hid the panic on his face as he asked, "are you okay? What happened?" She grumbled, blushing. "I tripped over my feet..." Inuyasha sighed and picked her up, placing her on his back as they walked to kaedes village. His woman was going to give him a heart attack.
