You Promised Me Chapter 5 - Rumors Will Spread

Kagome walked gleefully home that day. Everything was getting better now. She would have more time with Atsutane because of the history project, which meant that she would have more time to jog his memory. She sighed and then breathed in the crisp autumn air.

However, Kagome didn't even realize that there was someone eyeing her very closely, stalking her.

Atsutane's purple eyes gleamed as he agilely leapt through the underbrush. He had to find out what that girl was up to and why, why did her scent intoxicate him.

* * *

"Mama, I'm home!" she yelled as she went upstairs.

Kagome collapsed on her bed, covering her eyes and daydreaming. Things were getting better. But, what if she did bring back his memory, surely he would not forget Kikyou. And her heart would again have to be hidden.

She sighed and thought to herself. . .

'All I want is Inuyasha, my Inuyasha to be trying to drag me back into the past, all I want to do is be in the past with him.'

She started remembering all the things that he did. Going through her window and stealing her alarm clock. She laughed softly and glanced at the window.

And two violet eyes were gleaming back.

She screamed out in surprise and ran over to open the window.

It was Atsutane of course, glancing up at her as she looked down. There was an awkward silence as a wind came through and blew their hair around.

"Why are you here, Atsutane?" she said, forcing tears back, from all the memories this brought back, looking at the same face that always haunted her dreams.

"I. . .can't answer that, I don't know, something in my instinct just told me to. . .to follow you." He replied seeing that she was quivering as if she was about to cry, "I'm sorry if I disturbed you, see you later."

And with that he jumped up in a sweep and was out of site. Leaving Kagome to stare at the place where he just was.

Kagome found it impossible to sleep that night, so many things confusing her. Relaxing was not a possibility.

Thanks to that, she woke up late for school. It was going to take some sort of miracle to get her on time.

"Atsutane!" Kagome yelled out as she saw him leaning against a wall, minding his own business as if he had no haste to go to school, "Aren't you going to be late for school?"

"Aren't you?" he replied, not even glancing at her.

"Well, yes, but at least I'm trying to get to school on time" she breathed out.

"I'll get to school on time."

"Not at your rate right now."

"I will, care for me to show you?"

She studied his eyes trying to find some sign of deception. But they were just as innocent as always. She couldn't resist.

"Fine."

He grabbed her by the hand and put her on his back, he looked around to make sure that no one was watching and then took off. Kagome laughed with delight as Tokyo just rushed past her

They stopped near the school, close enough to walk there in time, but far enough so that no one could see. They walked together towards the school and chatted idly.

"That was great! I didn't know you could go so fast in your huma-" Kagome almost said human form, but she didn't want it to seem like she was crazy before she had a chance to tell him anything, "nevermind"

Atsutane was looking at Kagome inquisitively, as if he expected another reaction from her.

"You. . .don't think I'm a freak?" he asked

"No, of course not!" she replied, unsure of what to say.

They continued to walk to school. And stepped in just before the late bell rang. Kagome walked off to her class as Atsutane did the same, but on her way there she was bombarded by Eri and Ayumi.

Eri gasped "Are you going out with him?"

"We heard you talking to him!" Ayumi piped in.

"And walking with him to class!"

"But you know, he's a whole lot cuter then Houjo. . ."

Kagome couldn't believe it, her best friends actually thought she was going out with. . .Atsutane? It didn't happen in the past, and she didn't think it could happen in the future.

'Or maybe it could, I mean Kikyou isn't here after all. . .' Kagome though gleefully to herself.

By lunchtime the news had spread that Atsutane and her were going out. It was a smaller school then she thought, almost everyone knew about it.
