Chapter 4: A Fall and An Accident

Kagome couldn't skate as well as InuYasha and Sango but she didn't mind. She went at her own pace and laughed politely at the little kids trying their best to skate as fast as the grown-ups do.

Then Kagome saw the sweetest thing; InuYasha was helping a little kid skate and teaching her tricks. Kagome wanted to go over and encourage the little kid to keep trying and that she had a wonderful teacher. She skated over as fast as she could but when she went around the corner one of her skates went to close to the other and she tripped. Knowing that she would hit the ground face first and probably smash her face she braced herself for a horrible fate.

She noticed that she didn't fall on the ground but on something soft and her lips were touching someone else's. She opened her eyes and saw InuYasha under her. She gasped and got off as fast as she could and sat down next to him.

Sango raced over to them, really worried for her friend, and made a sudden stop.

"Kagome are you okay, did you hurt yourself?" she asked really worried.

"N… actually my ankle kinda hurts," Kagome lied.

"Here I'll help you over, InuYasha can you get up?"

"Yeah I'm fine," InuYasha said then got up and helped Sango get Kagome over to the table.

"Maybe I should go home." Kagome said, "I don't want to be a party pooper."

"No, it's okay, don't worry. Everything is fine. Should we call a doctor?" Sango asked, really worried that her friend was severely injured.

"Maybe, if it's okay with InuYasha, he could help me get home and I could call a doctor from there."

"I don't mind, as long as it's okay with Sango," said InuYasha, hoping that he would get to know this 'injured' girl better.

"Sure, if you want to Kagome. I mean we could always call a doctor here you know."

"No, it's okay. My mom's a… nurse so she knows some stuff about breaking or spraining ankles," Kagome lied once again, knowing that her mom wasn't even home.

"Okay if you're positive you don't want us to call a doctor now?"

"Hey, what's all the commotion about?" a really late at finding things out Miroku asked.

"Kagome thinks she sprained her ankle and InuYasha was going to take her home."

"Oh…uh… InuYasha can I talk to you for a sec?"

"Sure," InuYasha replied following Miroku to the other side of Skate-a-Rama.

---------Inu and Miroku--------

"What's bothering you?" InuYasha asked.

"Well, here's the thing about bringing girls home," Miroku started to say.

"Whoa, wait… if you're thinking about what I think you're thinking about then shut the hell up now and leave."

"Well, no, and yes. I remember you telling me that you wanted to know her a little better. Here's the thing. When you get to her house check if her mom's home, then take care of her if she's not. If she is then say you're going to make sure she's okay. Take her up to her room either way and talk to her a bit. Ask her how she feels and other health things, then talk about different things, like what you like to do or something else. Then, when and if, you think it's the perfect time make your move on her."

"What!"

"I mean kiss her you dumb ass."

"Oh… uh… okay, I guess."

"Go get her big boy."

"Stop pushing!"

-----Everyone-----

"Well we should get going if we want you to get better Kagome," InuYasha said, his heart thumping 30 miles and hour in his chest.

"Okay, bye guys, Sango I hope I didn't ruin your birthday party." Kagome glumly said to her friend, knowing that she'll be a loner once more.

"No it's okay, your health is more important than a birthday party."

"Ok, bye Miroku, nice meeting you."

"Nice meeting you too, and Inuyasha" wink wink

"Whatever," was all InuYasha could think of saying without taking anything away. "Oh, InuYasha you can just help me walk," Kagome said not knowing what his next move was.

InuYasha picked Kagome up and placed her on his back piggyback style, "Just hold onto my neck," he said hoping that she would follow his instructions and not get off.

"Ok, bye guys!"

"Bye Kagome hope you get better!" Sango yelled. –SLAP- "Keep your hands to yourself pervert!"
