A/n: You guys I'm working on another story right now, so maybe I won't be
able to squeeze in a chapter like every few days. Anyways, new story is
"Lavender" it's the Chinese soap opera mixed in with Inuyasha characters as
the main people. Since no one's actually heard of it that much, it should
go through like a tragic/dramatic story.
You Promised Me Chapter 9- Kouga
Atsutane was finally getting used to living in the wilderness. It had been days since he went back to the future. The smell of the forest and the crystal clean water were all dreams for him back in the streets of Tokyo. And being half-demon all the time wasn't that bad either, his senses were all alert and sharp.
But for now, the gang was resting up. Atsutane was relaxing on a tree branch watching the views and thinking. They were looking for something called "jewel shards", that apparently Kagome could sense. So far, all they've encountered were minor demons trying pitifully to devour them. Atsutane slashed through them with his claws quickly, he still had not learned how to use Tetsuiga.
"Atsutane?" Kagome called as she neared the tree, "Come down!"
He did what he was told and landed a few feet from where she was standing.
"Don't you think you should go back now? I mean it has been several days since you came here. You parents would be worried." Kagome said quickly as she filled up a decanter with fresh stream water.
"They're not there anyway, I really don't think they'd care even if they came back." He replied turning his head away, "I mean, my foster parents are the ones who decided to take this huge vacation without me."
'Foster parents?' Kagome thought as she stared at him.
"So you're technically adopted then, do they know about your demon blood?" she asked sharply, but as gently as possible.
"No, and if they did I'd probably have to move again, all of my previous 'parents' started to figure it out and just dropped me on the spot" he replied, as he began to walk towards the others.
Kagome sighed, she had obviously never known. Inuyasha had a pretty rough life, not knowing his past at all.
'Until I came along' she thought.

"I smell the scent of dead demons close by." Atustane yelled back as he rushed forward to see what happened.
He wouldn't care if it was just one demon, the point that there was a lot was what worried him. There could be some kind of predator nearby.
He neared a clearing, as he laid his eyes upon dozens of carcasses that were bloodied and torn. They all appeared to be similar in looks. As the others neared, they gasped at once and Kagome screamed.
"Gods, this is Kouga's clan, surely they couldn't have found another new enemy so soon." Kagome said quietly as she walked straight into the meadow, attempting to find a survivor. Until she stumbled upon a familiar face. . .
"Kouga!" she yelled as she saw his blood crusted visage. Atsutane walked behind her, as if he was her bodyguard. (A/n: No I'm not that evil, I would never make a Kouga/Kagome fic, that would be. . .just icky!)
"He's still alive, if that's what you're wondering, barely though, he's not gonna survive long." He said with a straight tone, no signs of remorse at all.
Kagome never had any true feelings or emotions toward Kouga. But he was still a friend, and seeing him and all his comrades like this crushed her. She shook his shoulders attempting to wake him up somehow.
Kouga's eyes blinked open, focusing on Kagome, he knew that he was going to die, no denying that, but at least Kagome was here. He choked and sputtered out:
"K-kagome, Naraku took the jewel shards I had, I've seen him, the jewel's almost complete. . ." he said wincing, "It's good that I got to see you one last time."
He smiled and then his eyes turned dim. Kagome couldn't take it anymore, how many times did she have to watch someone die? Her heart was already torn and bruised, far beyond repair. But everything still had to come and torment it.
"Sorry?" Atsutane said as if it was a question, he went to hug her as she let herself cry on his shoulder. Back in the bushes, Sango and Miroku watched stealthily, wondering what changed about Inuyasha through his reincarnation.
"Well he is a whole lot nicer." Sango said thoughtfully, "I've never seen them get in a fight so far."
"You're right, well maybe this is a change for the better, but if Kouga's right and Naraku really does have most of the jewel shards, then Atustane. . .or Inuyasha is going to have to get a lot stronger, and learn to master Tetsuiga." Miroku replied, still watching Kagome and him.
"Perhaps we should just leave them alone just for now, I would hardly think that Kagome would be happy if she found us eavesdropping." Sango said as she stood up and went on Kirara, "Let go find somewhere we can sleep in for the night."

A/n: short chapter I know, read and review! Next chapter is the final battle against Naraku, how the battle goes, Kikyou shows up and messes things up. . .review ( or else I'll be really sad.
