memorized by now. ^_^;; So I'm just going to remind you one more time. lol.

prelude through chapter 5. ENJOY!!
Chapter 8: Inu Yasha's Promise
It was a good thing that it was spring break. Kagome slept, in sweet dreams, until 11 am. She lazily got out of bed. She put on some sweatpants and a sweater. Today was a day when she didn't care how she looked. She walked to the bathroom. She grabbed a hair band and put her hair up in a messy ponytail. She inspected her appearance in the mirror. She cocked her head and nodded. She walked down the stairs and was greeted my the woman she was staying with.
"So you're finally awake. You had someone calling you three times this morning. Two times by a kid named Shippo and once my a boy named Miroku. I told them I'd have you call them back when you woke up." she said
"Okay. Thank you. I'm going to go for a walk." Kagome said. She grabbed her purse and walked out the door. The sun was shining. Its rays reflected off of her raven hair. She reached into her purse and pulled out her cell phone. She decided to call Miroku first. She dialed his number and waited for him to pick up.
"Hello?" he said.
"Miroku? Its Miaka. Sorry it took so long for me to call you. What's up?" Kagome said.
"Oh Miaka. Have you talked to Shippo yet?"
"No. Why? What's going on?"
"I'm not completely sure. He called me just after he tried you the second time. I haven't gotten the chance to go over there yet. Today is chore day at my house. I'll probably be able to get over there after lunch. He sounded really worried. All I caught was something about Inu Yasha." Kagome gasped.
"Inu-chan" she breathed.
"Dang it. If my mom wasn't so strict about these things I would have been over there long ago." Miroku continued. "Would you go over there and call me when you find out what it's all about?" Kagome nodded. Then she realized that he couldn't hear her head nod (duh).
"Yeah. I'll do that."
"Thanks. I'll talk to you in a little bit." They hung up. Kagome immediately called Shippo.
"H. . . Hello?"
"Shippo? It's Miaka. What's going on? I just got off the phone with Miroku. He said something was wrong but he didn't know what."
"Uh-huh. It's. . . it's Inu Yasha." Shippo could barely talk.
"Okay. Shippo. Just remain calm. I'm almost to your house now. I'll be there in about minutes. Okay? Just stay calm. I'll be there soon."
"Kay" They hung up.
'Shippo's worked up about something. Oh Inu-chan. What's wrong?' she thought. She shoved her cell phone back in her purse and ran as fast as she could. She turned the corner. There were ambulances all over the place. Then Kagome noticed that they were all parked outside Inu Yasha's house. Her eye's widened and she moved faster. She maneuvered between the emergency vehicles and jogged into the house. She looked around for Shippo and Inu Yasha. Shippo came running up to her. He couldn't speak he was a nervous wreck. He led her upstairs and into Inu Yasha's room. There he was. Sitting on his bed with a pocket knife in his hand. Kagome looked at Shippo. His mouth moved but barely any sound came out. Kagome bent down to hear him.
"Our. . . our mom. . . got into an. . . accident last night. She. . . she died. . . before they got her to the hospital. Now. . . now Inu Yasha's. . . he's. . . he wants to kill himself. I mean. . . first Kagome. . . and now our mom. I called you thinking you might be able to stop him. You guys have been getting along really well. I don't know. . . maybe I'm just being stu- " he was cut off. Kagome had raised a hand to stop him.
"I understand. I'll do what I can." she said calmly. Then she remembered her promise to Miroku. "Shippo. Go call Miroku. Tell him not to worry but to get over here as soon as he can. I may need his help." Shippo nodded and ran off to do so. Kagome got up and slowly walked over to Inu Yasha. He didn't even notice that she was there. He started pressing the blade to his wrist.
"Inu-chan" Kagome whispered. He didn't hear her. She spoke a little louder.
"Inu Yasha? It's me. Kagome. Please, give me that blade." She reached out a hand to take it. Inu Yasha looked up at her. Tears were welling in her eyes.
"Please." she whispered. Inu Yasha went to give it to her when something fell outside and distracted him. The blade cut through his skin. Kagome gasped. Inu Yasha dropped the blade, shocked at what he did. He looked at the blood pouring from his wrist. He looked up in shock at Kagome. She had gone very pale. He got up and walked over to her. She didn't move. She just continued to look at his wrist. She came to her senses and went into the bathroom looking for bandages. She found them in the cupboard under the sink. She grabbed them and rushed back to Inu Yasha. She cleaned the wound and started wrapping the bandage around it. Just as she started doing that the door downstairs burst open. Miroku ran up the stairs to see Kagome bandaging Inu Yasha's wrist, blood seeping though the bandage. He froze in shock. He regained his composure and went to help Kagome. Shippo decided to stay downstairs. None of them spoke for ten minutes. When they were done Kagome walked into Inu Yasha's room and picked up the blade. She closed it carefully and put it in the trash. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply. She turned to face Inu Yasha. Miroku knew immediately that a personal moment was about to happen so he decided to go downstairs and get rid of all the ambulances. Kagome opened her eyes, tears filled them. She tried to hold them back but failed. The poured down her face. She ran into Inu Yasha's arms. He held her comfortingly. She buried her face in his shirt. Her arms were wrapped around his chest. He stroked her head and held her tight. Both of them had their eyes closed.
"I'm sorry." Inu Yasha said after 5 minutes. "I didn't mean to. It's just that, well, you're dead. And now my mom is dead. I just didn't know what to do anymore."
"Just promise me this." Kagome started. "Promise me that no matter what happens you won't 1) go to any more parties, 2) do any more drugs and 3) you won't leave your little brother all alone. Promise me."
"Kagome. I-" Kagome pulled back and looked at him. The tears still flowing.
"Promise me." she said firmly. The worry and sadness in her eyes was evident. Inu Yasha breathed deeply. Kagome looked at him intently.
"Please Inu Yasha. Promise me." she pleaded. He nodded.
"I promise." he said. "I also promise that no matter what happens I'll never leave you." Kagome smiled a small smile and went back to hugging him. Her head rested on his chest.
'Oh time. Please stop. Don't let this moment end. Ever.' she prayed.
A/N: Okay. I'm back to saying the same stuff again. It's too late for me to be doing this. I need sleep. heh. Anyway. Please review. Tell me what you think. ^_^ Don't forget to read the stories I mentioned at the beginning. ^_^ Please and thank you.
