Don't Forget To Review At The End to Tell Me What You Think :] x 3
AN UNCONSCIOUS VOW!
FLASH BACK.
"Wha! – When?... Why did you? ... You saved me?" The Little Miko looked up in disbelief at the Lords back.
Sesshomaru sneered "Do not be foolish girl; the creature was simply in this Sesshomaru's way." Flicking the wasted demon flesh from his claws, he slid a small side glance at the girl behind him, before swiftly moving forward.
"W –WAIT." Kagome shouted, careful of her swollen ankle, she moved onto her knees and stretched one arm out, in a pathetic attempt to stop him from her position on the forest floor.
Sesshomaru Halted but didn't turn.
"... Thank you... I-I owe you that much" Kagome whispered; Lowering her head.
" Hn." Sesshomaru stated coldly, and then continued on his way.
END.
Chapter 1
"I have come to acquire that promise"
Kagome stared wide eyed at Sesshomaru's horned chest plate, The Memory from 3 months ago still fresh in her mind.
She knitted her eyebrows slightly "P-promise?" She questioned breathlessly, her teeth finding her pink bottom lip and chewing it lightly. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't find the promise that he spoke of. Or why he would bring it up now, three months later. Slowly, she lifted her deep sapphire orbs and looked into the eyes of the youkai who was leaning over her.
Almost immediately she regretted it.
Her stomach dropped straight through her toes, his eyes where, they were... unworldly.
Beside her, Kagome scratched rapidly at the bark of the tree Sesshomaru had backed her into, her shaking body pressing into the razor thorn plants growing around it.
Those pupils, they were not of the normal roundness... but a glossy blank depth, a slit-like hole, a hole, devoid of any emotion at all.
The blank stare just ripped a jagged line straight through her soul.
Kagome had seen eyes like this before... she had seen them in the rotting corpses of dead people.
Her mind screamed at her limp limbs to move, do something to rid his awful gaze of her pure being. But her paralyzed body couldn't find the energy or the will to do so, she couldn't risk the fact that if she moved even one inch, the dark depths would slash her eyes apart into bloody little pieces before she could even blink,
as she looked more, she noticed how the black liquid contrasted fully against the blank, passive hole of golden shell, speaking of the deep terror that lay dormant inside of them, making her flinch back, even more rigid into the safety of the rough thorny bark behind her.
Her eyes started to forcefully burn from the lack of blinking. But still she couldn't... no, wouldn't tear her rooted gaze away. Not even for a millisecond.
The Owner of the orbs looked down at her with amusement, not seen in the cold exterior, but still present. He loved the overbearing smell of fear that was pouring out of her petite frame. It was a powerful feeling, and he loved being powerful.
Allowing himself a small smirk, he made sure to keep his gaze locked in her widened eyes then lowered him-self nearer to her face.
She seemed to come out of her exterior, as she tightly knitted her eyes and brows together, sharply moving her face to the side, avoiding his face in doing so.
Roughly he grabbed her quivering chin tightly with his only hand; then forcefully shifted her face back to his.
He made sure his face was too close for comfort and studied her silently. He noticed her eyes were still tightly knitted together, in a last effort to erase him from her mind and her thoughts.
"Miko" The lord demanded dully, the invisible order loud and clear.
He felt the woman go rigid beneath his fingertips, and waited as she hesitantly opened her cautious eyes.
Kagome was at loss, she knew if she didn't open her eyes, there would be a huge price to pay, but still, she couldn't look into them eyes again. She just couldn't. Coming to the decision she would rather live till tomorrow, she ever so slowly, lifted her lidded lids.
But she had second thoughts, and at the last second before her eyes could reach his face she quickly shifted her gaze to the tress beside her.
She was painfully aware that the grip on her delicate chin had tightened even more, but refused to look.
Sesshomaru seemed angered by this but decided to leave her be.
"The Promise will be fulfilled Girl."He Whispered Roughly into her ear, then moved his long fingers away from her face.
Swiftly turning her head she confusedly asked "What pro..." Kagome cut off as she noticed the youkai lord no longer stood in front of her.
Clenching her fists at her side, she angrily stomped her feet. " Urrrrrhhhhhhh, stupid demons and their stupid big headedness, those stupid powers, THEIR STUPID PROMISES!." She screamed into the clearing, make the birds scatter frantically, afraid of the dangerous aura the little Miko possessed.
"Well, you know what? He can stuff his promise because I refuse." The Miko Stated putting her clenched hand on her hips and then started to walk blindly through the trees, hoping Sesshomaru didn't take her too far from the clearing she had been previously in.
It took Kagome until night fall, to reach the place where she had been while washing the dishes. Approximately a four hour walk.
She only remembered the clearing because the beautiful scenery, which was the sparkling waterfall sitting proudly and gracefully in front of her and the fluffy grass beneath her shoes.
Stopping suddenly, she took a quick glance around, trying to find anything that would have any value that this was the place she had been previously before she was taken.
But this proved to be in vein, as she could barely see her hand in front of her face.
The only source of light was coming from the little crescent shaped moon hanging in the sky, and the sparkly water showing the rippling reflection around the clearing. Like a huge disco ball.
Kagome shuffled around the water's edge for two things.
One, For the Light it provided and two, if she was lucky; she might come across the fallen dishes she scattered carelessly around the small area.
She didn't come across any dishes, but she figured it must be because Sango and The Others came searching for her.
Kagome Sighed, "I've got a lot of explaining to do." She told herself dully, dropping her head silently.
Coming to the conclusion that there was going to be no way she would be able to find her little group in this darkness, she sat by the water's edge and ran her fingers along the top of the stream disturbing the calm atmosphere it created.
The earlier confrontation with Sesshomaru left Kagome the least bit tired, even after the long walk back to the clearing, she just felt energized and ready to go.
Expressing another sigh, but this time in relief, she took it as a blessing, who knows what kind of creatures could be lurking around the trees this deep in the night, looking for young unprotected girls to eat.
Suppressing a frightened shiver, Kagome shifted her gaze up into the star filled sky, taking in the beauty of it all.
There was nothing like the nights in the feudal era, peaceful and quiet, with only the hooting of owls and running water to complete the perfect scenery, it was nothing like the future.
It is so diluted back home, all the lights ruining the view of the stars and the noise of cars and engines upsetting the natural calls of nature.
"I wish I could show Mom, Grandpa and Souta this." Kagome wished sadly.
Looking back down at the lake below her, she took in the sight of the crescent hovering brightly in the depths of the water.
She couldn't help but think back earlier to Sesshomaru, His frightening golden orbs, the proximity of his mighty form and the threat of the promise she had supposedly made.
Drawing her eyebrows together crossly, she jumped to her feet searching along the earth for something in particular.
A tiny cry of triumph surrounded the area as the little Miko came back to the water's edge with a palm sized rock, closed tightly in her fist.
Growling slightly she raised a slim arm and roughly threw the rock into the reflection.
"This is all Your Fault!" She cried angrily into the rippling reflection.
"You and your stupid promises! WHAT PROMISE!" She stomped closer to the edge of the lake, pointing a slim finger at the bright unmoving form in the water.
"If you just told me what I 'supposedly' promised, I might have considered helping you! But Noooooo you had to scare me, threaten me, kidnap me when I was just washing the bloody dishes, I'm fed up of dogs! Think they can do what they want when they want! Why? Because they can, that's why!" Kagome ranted obviously not just talking about the Western Lord any more.
Feeling a little better she placed her hands on her hips and gave a little 'humph' to the reflection, closing her eyes, she swiftly turned to walk away from the offending image, when she suddenly bumped into something extremely hard.
With a surprised yelp she opened her eyes and whipped a hand to her sore nose, losing her balance she fell into the shallow water heavily.
Suppressing a groan of pain, she ignored the terribly uncomfortable feeling of wet panties and quickly remembered she wasn't sitting in freezing cold water for the fun of it.
Looking up sharply, the only thing her human eyes could make out in the black darkness of morning was a silhouette of a tall figure, their hair flowing behind them in dangerous fashion and the narrowed glowing yellow orbs starring deeply but silently at her.
She breathlessly screamed, crawling backwards deeper into the water, desperate to get away from the shadow in front of her.
The creature reached out swiftly and grabbed hold of her arms.
She clenched her eyes tightly and kicked the water heavily, hoping the force would be enough to make it let her go.
But the silhouette just seemed angered by her attempts and forcefully yanked her from the safety of the lake.
"NO!, NO! , NO!" Kagome screamed, struggling in the hold violently, at the same time vainly trying to release the iron grip from her bicep.
Kagome used the ground as support and started to lean backwards harshly, using her body weight to make the thing let go of her.
Unfortunately, the creature just tightened his grip around her upper arms and lifted her fully in the air, keeping her at arm's length so it could avoid her violent attempts to land a kick, then it started to roughly shake her.
"NO!, LET ME GO!, NO!" Kagome continued to struggle. Scrunching her eyes even tighter and kicking her feet even more violently.
"KAGOME!" the shadow shouted right in her face.
Kagome stopped her struggling instantly. Hanging freely in the grasp of the person who had lifted her in the air, stiffly she looked up from where she had dropped her head.
But now instead of seeing Narrowed yellow eyes glowing at her, she saw the wide worry filled amber eyes of her Best friend.
"I-Inuyasha?" Kagome asked timidly, her eyes filling with tears.
"Geeeezzz Kagome, I called yah name three times, what's wrong with you?" he asked worriedly, knitting his eyebrows together, setting her back down on her feet lightly.
Kagome's lip started to quiver, desperately trying to keep the salted tears at bay, but failing miserably.
"INUYASHA" Kagome screamed, glomming the half-breed in a fit of tears. Inuyasha Looked at the black head in surprise, but patted the small of her back lightly anyway, letting the small wet girl cry into his robe.
Kagome was so sure... so sure that it was Sesshomaru standing in front of her, the way he was standing, taller than Inuyasha, The hair much longer too, the Hardness of the armour when she ran into his chest; no chest, not even Inuyasha's chest could ever be that hard, his yellow orbs narrowing deep through her soul, promising the death he was so sure to go through with, Nothing like Inuyasha's Wide and expressive amber gaze.
Kagome Cried out but more in relief, than fear, having Inuyasha near her made her feel so much safer.
Inuyasha pulled her away slightly, gripping her tightly by the shoulders.
"Kagome, why are you here this late, do yah know how late it is?" He asked her sternly.
Kagome sniffled lightly, wiping away the last of her tears.
"I-I just wanted to... See the surrounded area one last time, before we move on tomorrow." Kagome lied through her teeth.
Inuyasha looked at her disapprovingly "Well that was STUPID, do yah know what could have happened if that weren't ME just now!" he howled at her.
Kagome pulled out of his grasp "Well Inuyasha, you shouldn't have scared me like that!." She folded her arms and looked crossly at him. Not looking very intimidating in her wet school uniform and her puffy red eyes.
The Light of the morning was slowly coming through the sky, so she could see him much better than earlier.
Before Inuyasha could angrily reply she added,
" AND Inuyasha I could ask you the same question, You didn't even come too dinner last night; I thought I would never have to throw away your ramen Inuyasha! So just what were YOU doing out this late, huh?" she demanded, unfolding her arms she putting them tightly on her hips, while impatiently tapping her foot along the fluffy grass.
Inuyasha's ears Dropped and he shifted his gaze away from her and towards the ground.
"Just About..." He answered half heatedly.
Kagome's eyes narrowed her eyebrow ticking impatiently "I see." She answered turning her back to him.
"Which Way To The others?" She asked looking over her shoulder, at the still flat eared hanyou.
Inuyasha pointed to his left and Kagome hurriedly walked past him.
Kagome stopped at the edge of the clearing a final time "Oh and before I forget, Inuyasha!..."
Inuyasha lifted his ears and turned to her "Yeah, Kagome?" He asked looking hopeful.
"SIT BOY!" Kagome smiled wickedly, listing to the satisfying thump as the Hanyou hit the earth, and then moved on her way.
Feeling completely satisfied.
