Chapter 2

Kikyo's Death and Kagome's Promise

InuYasha yawned and was walking back to his house from Kagome's birthday party when he smelt a demon, and not just any demon, it was Naraku. InuYasha bolted off torwards the Shikon shrine. Kikyo, Miroku, and Sango were there also. InuYasha looked around, here came Kagome, running up the lane and into InuYasha. Before she could say anything dark clouds overtook the sky, as a baboon figure appeared.

InuYasha growled, Kikyo set and arrow, Sango nudged Hiraikotsu, and Miroku got into fighing stance. Kagome backed away from InuYasha, she strung her arrow and waited. Naraku laughed.

"Nice to see you all have come, that just makes this even more fun," (rhyms, tehe)Naraku snickered as he hopped up to the shrine. Kikyo shot her arrow and missed, Kagome shot and got a bit of his baboon skin. Sango through Hiraikotsu, and Miroku jumped into the air and tried to hit Naraku, but was hit instead, by Sango's giant boomerang. Naraku laughed,"4 humans, and a hanyou, how interesting, but I am not here to fight, I wish only to take the jewel, give it to me and I shall show you mercey," he said.

"And what makes you so sure that we would do that," InuYasha said, holding a fist to the demons face.

Naraku laughed, as he ran into the shrine. Kikyo shot yet another arrow, as did Kagome. Sango was tending to Miroku, as InuYasha ran inside after him. When he was inside, Naraku had already had the jewel in his possetion. InuYasha froze, Kikyo ran inside after him and strung another arrow.

"Give it back Naraku, and I won't be forced to kill you," she said, half expeting him to just do as told, but most knowing there was not a chance in hell.

Naraku laughed, "I think I shall hold on to it, and InuYasha," he said, all of a sudden Kikyo was shot in the chest with a silver light, "this is a taste of what to come," he said and disappeared. InuYasha froze, he turned slowly to find her laying on the ground, coughing. InuYasha snapped back to reality and ran over to her, he layed her head on his lap.

"Kikyo, Kikyo, your stronger then this, hold on," he kept saying.

"InuYasha, kill him, you must get the jewel back, he will most likely try to tant the jewel before useing it, that should be a long time, please InuYasha, *cough* advenge me.." with that said, Kikyo fell into a never ending sleep.

a/n: yeah, finally, I killed her... wait, I wasn't going to wait until chappie 4... ohh well, she's dead, and I like it that way...

Kagome ran inside to find a very sad hanyou, and very still miko. Kagome froze, she felt relived, wait, she felt relived, how could she think this, InuYasha was her friend and she was glad Kikyo died, Kikyo, the one InuYasha cared for so much, the one close to his heart. Yes, she was close, did that mean Kagome wasn't anywhere near, if so, why, she had given him her friendship, but that was nothing compaired to Kikyo's love and heart. Kagome felt a sob of her betrayl and hurt, she ran away, away to the tree outside the village, as she gazed at the moon the rest of the night.

Kagome sat, very frustrated, thinking over and over about this, 'Do I, do I love him, no, surley not, but why did I feel the way I did over Kikyo, now I shall carry this shame for a long time. But I want to have InuYasha's friendship and time again, why did this have to happen,' Kagome sighed as she played with the necklace InuYasha had given he earlier that day. She looked down to it and smiled, 'InuYasha, I will go with you, I shall follow you whereever you go, it's clear now, I want to be with you, nothing more.' she gave one last sigh of bliss before she fell into a deep sleep against the tree.

At the shrine...

Many had gathered to weap apon the miko loss. The next day Kikyo was barried in a cave nearby, so she could rest in peace. Kagome was there also, she liked Kikyo, just hated her with InuYasha, though she could not get the joy of her death out of her thoughts, she still cried, cried that she could think as low and as much about her. InuYasha sat off afar, away from all, his eyes were cold as his arms crossed and his expression pointless. Kagome sighed, she walked over and InuYasha snapped back to reality. InuYasha looked up, he frowned, the look on his face, it made Kagome want to cry.

Sango and Miroku soon joined them, all standing infront of InuYasha expectenly, but nothing came, just his pointless stare as he brushed past them and out of the opening of the cave, and Kagome followed.

InuYasha walked out into the forset named after him, though InuYasha's father didn't leave wealth, he did leave the two brothers land, and InuYasha had half. Kagome walked close behind, soon InuYasha came to a halt, as did Kagome.

"Kagome, I'm going to follow Naraku," he said, he didn't know what else he could say.

Kagome was silent, her fist was huvering before her chin, as she felt her tears excaped her," InuYasha..." she passed, one tear fell down her cheek, "I'm going with you," she finally piped up.

InuYasha froze, did he hear right, Kagome, wanted to be, with him, no, just help him, or maybe, no, couldn't be, no one would ever help a half-breed such as himself, even if it were Kagome. InuYasha turned to her, his eyes flashing sorrow and fear, but fear of what, we already know he's sad over his lost love, so what is it he fears, is it Kagome's rejection, does he feel to close, "Kagome..." was all he managed to say as his golden eyes glistened, and his silver hair danced with them.

They stood like this for a long time, until InuYasha nodded and walked away, leaving Kagome in wonder.

Sango and Miroku offered there services. Miroku said that now that the jewel is no longer in the village, he will have to follow the demon to, just to stop the wind tunnel that will one day suck him up. Sango said she had to go, that this was her second mission and she needed to make sure no one uses the jewel.

Kagome, of corse, also went, she told InuYasha she would never leave his side, and that was a promise she wanted to keep. She sat down at a tree in the woods, InuYasha was off doing something, and Kagome was already for their journey.

~flashback

One raven haired girl and a silver haired hanyou about 7 were laying in the grass, just watching the clouds roll by.

"Kagome... you'll alway's be my friend, right?" the boy said, rolling over to look at the girl.

Kagome blinked and also rolled over, "Why do you think I wouldn't be your friend?" she questioned.

InuYasha turned, "Because, I am a lowsey half-breed," he said in shame. InuYasha had finally found out what the word meant, and didn't take much pleaser in it.

Kagome blinked again, "But your MY lowsey half-breed, and your not lowsey either, your just my hanyou, and my friend, I promise InuYasha, I will never leave your side, not through the thickest of snow," she said putting a hand on her heart and smiling.

It was InuYasha's turn to blink, but he smiled, "And I promise I will alway's protect you," he said as both sat the rest of the day just smiling at each other.

a/n: important scene, do not forget... off i go... well, don't read this, I mean read the story, not the a/n, hey, go read the story... NOW bts

Kagome sighed, she promised, and so did he.

InuYasha also sighed at the memory, he will protect her, he won't let another woman he cares for die, not again.
