Mattou Yakusoku
Fulfilled Promise
Chapter Four
"We can set out for my castle in a little bit. It will give you all time to pack. Once Kagome sees you I dont believe she is going to let you leave." Kouga put a hand on Sango's shoulder.
"Dont worry, things will turn out in the end. I promise."
"I hope your right." Sango paced her way back to the village. If Kagome was back she was going to have to get all her things. She kept Kagome's unopened backpack for memories. She always felt like it would have been an invasion of privacy to peek inside, now she knew why it felt that way because Kagome wasn't dead.
Kagome looked at her surroundings. They were not like she remembered. The beautiful castle, the flowing rivers of flowers, all seemed to be a memory. An onyx fog had settled around her.
"Inuyasha? Miroku? Sango? Shippo? Where are you guys?" Kagome reached into the dark at a pathetic attempt to find them. Why was she alone? She didn't understand any of this. Inuyasha said he would never leave her. Never.
A window shot up from the darkness. Slowly she made her way to the only thing insight. The glass shined for a minute. Her eyes shut against her will. Slowly the light became dim and once again she found herself looking out this window that came from no where.
"Inuyasha?" a scene flashed across. She knew it well, she had replayed it over and over in her mind. She threw her fist against the window in a feeble attempt to crash it. "INUYASHA! no..." The scene played on. She could hear them clearly, although they could not hear her...
"Inuyasha what are you-" Kagome ducked behind a rock as another figure came out from the forest. 'Kikyo? But why? What is she doing here?'
"Inuyasha, I see you came to find me. I knew you would catch my sent sooner or later." Kikyo slowly made her way from behind the brush.
"Kikyo, you knew I would come because you know I love you." Inuyasha took a small step forward, almost like natural the ice priestess took a step back.
"NO! Inuyasha! Please, cant you hear me!" Again she hit the window, still it remained unshattered.
"Inuyasha, are you such a fool? Don't you hold the young ones heart? Kagome I believe." A small smiled cursed her lips as Inuyasha's face changed emotions.
"I dont want it." A whisper was all he managed
"What was that Inuyasha?" Her body betrayed her as she moved closer to the hanyou.
"I SAID I DONT WANT IT! I dont want her love, I want yours!" With one swift motion he pulled Kikyo into an embrace.
"NO! I SAID NO!" Kagome thrashed the window with all her might, shattering the glass, ripping her skin. Tear flung from her eyes, not from her physical pain, but from her emotional. She watched that whole thing. Sure he later admitted to loving her, sure she stupidly forgave him, but it still hurt.
"No, you do love me. Not her." Kagome threw herself to the ground.
"KAGOME! Kagome wake up are you ok?"
"Shippo?" Kagome stood from the floor avoid contact with her hands.
"Sh-Shippo?" Her eyes opened and the little kitsune went wild.
"Kagome what happened? Your hands are really hurt." Kagome brought her hands to her face. Flinching as the pain suddenly hit her. 'I know it was a dream, so how did my hands get like this?'
"Come on, we can go to the hospital wing and get them looked at. Kagome it is so nice to see you again? Where have you been? I was so worried, Inuyasha would tell us anything. Have you seen Miroku? He left with Sango and never came back he didn't even say hi. She was carrying a baby. But when they left it was gone. Sango said he as with you, was he Kagome? Was the baby with you? Where is he now?" Kagome looked a bit stunned. Didn't he need to breath?
"Uh, Shippo? Isn't it time to take a breath?" Suddenly realizing the red hot flaming sensation in his chest Shippo gasped for air.
"Sorry Kagome, it was just been so long." She gave a little chuckle and both set out to the hospital wing.
"Lets see, I have been inside myself fighting a war on my soul. No, I haven't seen Miroku. The baby wasn't with me, and I dont know where he is." Kagome patted the kitsune on the head.
"You know Sango and Miroku thought you were dead. Inuyasha told me you just went away for a while. He didn't want Miroku and Sango to know that you weren't dead though. Sesshomaru didn't want them to know either." Shippo pushed a large wooden door open. "Tsun?"
A stocky old lady stuck her head out from behind a cabinet. "Oh my dear child, what happened." Kagome sat down on the bed and watched her clean her wounds. She didn't really know what happened herself.
"There we go dear. Shippo? Where did you find this lovely young lady?" Tsun patted him on the head. "Does Inuyasha know you brought her?"
"This is Kagome. I didn't bring her, Inuyasha did." Shippo jumped to her shoulder. "We have to go now, thank you Tsun."
"No problem dear, come back soon sweetie." Shippo jumped onto Kagome's shoulder. She lifted herself from the bed and walked calmly out the door.
Shippo sniffed the air. "Sango, Miroku and Kouga?"
"What was that Shippo?" Kagome stopped in the middle of the hall. She really hoped he didn't just say Kouga, she wasn't in the mood to deal with him.
"Lets go outside Kagome." She nodded and began walking at a fast pace to the door.
"Shippo? Where is Sesshomaru? I know this is his castle, but then why did Inuyasha say it was his?" Kagome turned the handle on the oak door, with every inch she opened it more and more sunshine filled the dreary castle.
"He died." Shippo put it very bluntly, like it didn't matter at all. "Kinda, that is what everyone thinks. Dont tell anyone but he is really dead. He was having some inner problems with his youkia blood. Sometimes he would start changing into his true form, and he couldn't stop it. He left to seek help a lot of moons ago." Kagome closed the door behind her. Taking a breath of fresh air, listening to the wind blow the trees.
"Ka-Ka-Kagome?" Three familiar voices rang out from across the yard, grabbing her attention immediately.
