Um . . . . . . . lol this is kind of like a Love Hina-based Inuyasha ~ Inu and Kag make a promise to marry each other when they grow up, but Inuyasha moves away soon after. Unfortunately, Inuyasha forgets about the promise and when Kag finds him, he has a girlfriend! (^^') I won't say anymore here you'll have to read it! ^.~

A chibi Inuyasha and Kagome ran around the Higurashi shine, playing tag. Kagome was wearing a light blue t-shirt and black skirt, while Inuyasha looked very cute in a red t-shirt and shorts, complimented with a black bandanna tied to his head. Kagome had her long raven-black hair tied up in a braid, which was loosened as she ran around. Inuyasha was "it" and was trying to tag Kagome, but Kagome was just laughing and running away from him.

"Kagomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! You're so unfair!!!" wailed Inuyasha, "You're too fast!! Kame-chan!!!"

"Heeheehee!! What happened to Mr. I'm-so-great-at-tag-I-can-beat-anyone? Eh Inu-chan? Eh?" teased Kagome. Inuyasha growled and charged. He hated being called Inu-chan! Squealing, Kagome bolted into what she thought was a garden shed nearby.

"I've got you now Higurashi!!!" Inuyasha snarled and followed her into the shed.

He flung open the door of the shed and peered inside. A creepy inky blackness stared back at him. Squinting into the dark, he cautiously tiptoed in.

"Kame-chan?" he said, called Kagome by his nickname for her, "Kame-chan, I know you're in here!"

Silence. No body replied.

Inuyasha started to panic. Where was she? Had he lost her? Did Kagome die? What if Kagome, who had been running away from him, ran in here, tripped over and split her head open?! Tears welled up in his big amber eyes. Running around in the darkness, he bumped into something. It was made of wood and had a big hole in the middle. It was the well!! This wasn't a shed! It was the shrine!! Kagome's grandfather had warned them not to come in here. He said it was really really dangerous. He said that evil youkai (demons) and oni (ogres) came out of the well sometimes.

~Omigod!~ thought Inuyasha. ~What if Kagome had fallen in?~ Inuyasha began to cry. He didn't care that he was a boy, and that he wasn't supposed to cry. His best friend was gone!!!

"K-Ka-Kame-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannn!!!" he sobbed.

"Inu-chan?"

~Jeez, I must be going insane! I can still hear her voice . . . . . .~ Inuyasha sighed.

"Inu-chan!!! Help!" cried Kagome's voice. "I'm down here!!"

"Kagome? Where?" Inuyasha glanced wildly around.

"In the well you baka!"

Inuyasha scrabbled around until he found a flashlight. Shining it down the abyss that was the well, he saw Kagome, alive, with a scowl on her face. He sighed happily with relief. She wasn't dead!

"Well!!??! What are you waiting for??!? GET ME OUT!!!" bellowed Kagome. Instantly Inuyasha leapt down into the well, grabbed Kagome around the waist and jumped back out. Kagome was stunned.

"H-H-How did you do that?" she ogled at Inuyasha, wondering how on earth he could jump so high.

"Ano? What did I do?" he blinked at her, nonplussed.

"How did you jump out of the well like that?! In one jump?" Inuyasha couldn't tell whether it was astonishment or fear in her voice. He sighed.

"Kame-chan. . . . . . . . . . . . There's something I haven't told you about me. . . . . . . "

"Nani?"

Inuyasha reached behind his head and untied the black bandanna he had on. As it fell to the ground, Kagome gasped.

"Inu-chan. . . . . . . . . . you're. . . . you're a hanyou!!!" she stared rather rudely at the pair of dog ears poking out from under his silvery hair.

"Hai," He replied sadly, "When my Okaa-san told your Okaa-san what I was, she wasn't sure if it was ok to let us play together, but my okaa-san said it was alright, and that I wouldn't hurt you," He looked away, saddened by a thought. "But I guess you wouldn't want to play with a half-youkai like me. . . . . ."

"Chigou, Inu-chan."

Inuyasha looked at Kagome. Her eyes were full of kindness, and she was smiling at him. Blushing, he looked away again. "Why?"

"Because, well, I've been playin with you for almost all my life haven't I? If you wanted to hurt me you would have done it by now. But you haven't!"

Inuyasha looked up at his best friend. Suddenly the lamps flickered on inside the shrine. They stood there for a while, just looking at each other.

"Arigato gozaimasu, Kame-chan."

Kagome giggled. Inuyasha never used the polite terms when talking to anyone except for his Okaa-san and Otou-sama.

"Ne, Inuyasha." Said Kagome, looking at the well, "Can you promise me something?"

"Nani?"

"Promise me you'll marry me when we're older," said Kagome, looking back to him.

Inuyasha looked at her for a while, head cocked to one side, as if to say, 'Are you joking?', but Kagome just looked at him, her face set. He smiled.

"Alright. I promise."

Kagome reached into her pocket and pulled out a coin. Holding onto one edge of the coin, she offered the other side to Inuyasha. He held it with her.

"We promise." They said in unison and tossed the coin into the well.
