Kagome wheezed pitifully. "P-p-please, Inu- Inuyasha, we're all so-" She broke off, gasping for air.
"Tired." Miroku, Shippo, and Sango finished for Kagome. None had the energy to say much more.
Scowling, Inuyasha dropped to the ground beside his weary comrades. "Fine. But if this demon slips through our fingers again, I know who to blame," he said, with a quick glance at Kagome. "Feh," muttered the hanyou under his breath. He hated to have to wait on these slow humans.
After a few moments, Inuyasha jumped to his feet. "All right, it's been long enough, can we go now?" His companions were still lying prostrate upon the ground.
"Inuyasha," Kagome muttered, "Sit."
He didn't bother them again after that.
