You Promised
Chapter 3-Haunted
Kagome spent most of her times locked up in her room, either studying or crying. There was too much that reminded her of him. She had kept everything that was left of him in the cave. As pained as she was to be reminded of him, it was even more unbearable to forget.
She opened the window to take in some fresh air, but Tokyo's air was insulting compared to the Feudal Ages. She laid down on her bed, thinking about him, where was he now? Could she bring him back? Would he keep his promise?
'Maybe, if I complete the jewel, it's powers can bring him back to me.' Kagome thought as she fiddled with the jar of fragments. 'But that's nearly impossible, Naraku has more then half of it, oh Inuyasha, why'd you have to leave me here alone.'
It was going to be very difficult to defeat Naraku and his reincarnations with just the three of them.
Kagome turned back to her schoolwork, she had missed out on quite a lot. If she was ever going to pass this grade, she would have to do some major studying.
She forced herself down the stairs and onto the sidewalk. If she went to the library, it would be a nice and quiet place to study and relax.

She trudged along the innumerable bookshelves, hoping to find something to help her study. In the end she had stacked so many books onto her hands that her head was barely visible by the library patrons.
But the only flaw to this was, she couldn't see where she was going either. Thinking that she knew the library by instinct, she began walking toward the study tables. . .
"Gah!" she yelped out as she bumped into someone, sending books, papers, and writing utensils flying everywhere.
Kagome was kneeling on the ground, clutching her head after a book fell on it.
"S-sorry, let me help." A voice, a familiar voice stuttered as he extended a hand to her.
"Thanks, I'm sorry too, I couldn't see where I was going. . .heh" Kagome said and sweatdropped, as he helped her back up.
She turned to face him and gasped in surprise. Long black hair, violet eyes. . .it was Inuyasha's human form, maybe with modern clothes but still, it was him!
Kagome tried as hard as she could to hold back her tears. She couldn't help but hug him, if only for a brief moment. It had only been a couple of days, but it seemed like eternity to her.
"Is it really you, Inuyasha?' Kagome asked, believing with all her heart that the answer was yes.
But hearts can be broken.
"Um. . .do I know you? My names not Inuyasha it's Atsutane, Inukai Atsutane." He said, looking at Kagome as if she was crazy, "I. . .I moved here a couple of weeks ago, what's your name?"
This certainly was not what Kagome expected, again the mixed emotions started to show once again.
'He doesn't remember!'
"Higurashi, K-Kagome. . ." she said, hesitating.
"That name. . .maybe I did meet you somewhere before, it sounds familiar." He said grinning.
Kagome thought she was just going to breakdown right then and there. He didn't remember anything. Anything at all. Not even her name. He had kept his promise, but this. . .this just wasn't fair.
Atsutane looked at his watch and grabbed his books.
"Well, it's getting late, I have to head home now, see you." He waved and walked off toward the double glass doors.
Kagome would've said something, like 'wait' but she was too shocked. It was him, no doubt.
She started picking up her books and going to check them out, this time taking only half. After she was done she slowly walked outside, everything just clouded her mind.
She sat down on a bench and watched people pass and go, none of them were Inuyasha. But then again, this was just like her life. People passing and going, leaving her all alone. Her father, Inuyasha. . .
* * *
Kagome ran home and sat by the god-tree. It's shade seemed to block out all the annoyances of everyday life. And the wind rustling through the leaves made everything calm.
All she needed was someplace to relax. In the Feudal Ages, she'd have to go and fight demons and retrieve shards, not to mention that Inuyasha would be a lingering memory there. And in the present, she'd have to deal with school and Atsutane.
'Why does he have to haunt all my thoughts. . .'
