Silversun XD beat you guys once again! Man this person is on fire! That's three for silver, one for takers, one for giggles! Wow guys! You guys deserve a round of applause for being right there through this and supporting the story. I love it!

Kikyo wanted to scream in frustration and anger. She was a lady of the highest sector. Every woman who wanted to move up in society talked to her! And here she was tramping about in the filth and mud like a commoner in all her finest clothing.

The grim will never come out of the silks!

Inuyasha silently plodded beside his struggling mate and basically ignored her whining and self-pity. Really he hadn't noticed before that she was this insufferable.

"Inuyasha! Husband! Demand that they give us horses! Do something! My silks are ruined and these heels are hurting my feet!" she whined even louder. The hanyou cringed and turned his head from her. His white ears laying back on his head.

"Foolish woman, just take the shoes off!" he ordered quietly trying to conserve his energy to keep up with the horse men. Pride should have kept his mate quite, but kami had not blessed him with a woman with pride. Instead she was self-centered and uncaring.

"Take my shoes off! Inuyasha! You jest! You can't not possible expect a lady of my standard to tramp about the country side barefoot like a peasant!" she screeched.

"OH SHUT UP WOMAN!" Inuyasha moaned loudly cursing his fate. Kagome wouldn't have moped about walking. The miko had actually went camping for weeks on end with her family. Her sense of adventure and common sense was what had drawn him to her. Then kikyo had arrived visiting her father's uncle's family.

Kikyo's jaw hung open. Inuyasha had NEVER raised his voice to her or spoke like that to her. She quickly shut her trap and continued walking. After a few more steps, she stopped and closed her eyes as she slipped her feet out of the confines of the heels. She was forced to toss them into a bush after a bit more. There was no point in keeping the ruined shoes anyways.

"barbaric." She muttered.

'Oh kami….' Inuyasha internally bemoaned his fate.

And guys, be grateful. I wasn't going to include the kamis because I'm Christian and I don't believe in any other higher authority other than God himself. So this was a bit of a challenge. But seeing this is only a fictional story it should be alright to include the kamis in this. So yeah.
