That Promise

Kieda's Hut

The group had alot of tension after the fight during dinner.So Sango and Kags decided it would be best to split the boys up.

Kagome: "Inuyasha, do you want to take a walk with me?"
(Whispering to Sango)Miroku: "Hey Sango, did I miss something?"

Inuyasha: "Uuhh,ok K agome."

The Forest

Kagome: "I'm sorry I freaked out when you said you still loved Kikyo, I know you still love Kikyo. I justnever wanted to admit that to my self. Did you want to ask me anything else?"

Inuyasha: "No, but you jumped in the well before I finished my sentence. I didn't say I still loved Kikyo, I said that I used to love her. But I don't anymore."

Kagome: "So why do you always go to her when she comes around!"

Inuyasha: "I made a promise that I would always protect her, I can't break that promise."

Kagome: "Inuyasha, I know you still have feelings for her andI will want you to choose eventually. But until then I'm going to enjoy your company as long as I'm here with you."

There was a calm silence between the two for a while. Inuyasha broke the silence.

Inuyasha: "Did you mean what you wrote in your diary, do you really want to be my life mate?"

Kagome: "what does that matter? Why does he care what I wrote?"

Inuyasha: "Nevermind. Come on let's go see what the others are doing. Kikyo never said that she wanted to be my life mate. Why won't Kagome answer my question?"

Kieda's Hut

Miroku: "Inuyasha, what did you do in the forest (giving Inuyasha a lecherous smile) anything special?"

Inuyasha: "What you getting at monk, you implying that I did something to Kagome!"

Miroku: "Oh, no I woudn't do that." (sarcasm just dripping off his words)

The group fell asleep, that is all but one. Shippo was wide awake and eager to get on with his secret mission. He snuck out of the hut and was on his way. He knew where he was going and what he would do when he got there. It was the perfect plan, a devious one was that little kitsune.

Inuyasha was asleep against the wall that Kagome was sleeping next to. In the morning Kagome made everybody some breakfast. No one took notice of the missing kitsune.

Sango: "Kagome do you wish to join me in the river for a bath after breakfast?"

Kagome: "That would be great, just a moment. I'll clean up the dishes and then we'll go."

Kagome and Sango left for the river at around 7:00a.m. At 8:00 Inuyasha was in the sacred tree thinking. About an hour later Inuyasha started to get worried. They had been gone for two hours already.

Inuyasha: "They should have come back by now. Kagome, where are you?"

Just then he saw soul collectors…they were Kikyo's.
