A Promise is a Promise

Chapter 5: The big plan and the mall encounter

" We gonna go to the mall or what?" Sango asked Kagome. They were walking home, school just finished and they decided to go to the mall.

"Yeah, but I wanna drop off my stuffs since its so heavy and I need to tell mom that I'm not gonna be home," Kagome explained. They climbed the shrine steps and headed pass the old Bone eater's well but Kagome suddenly stopped in her tracks as she now stood in front of the Goshinboku tree.

Sango was startled when Kagome suddenly stopped. She turned around to look at her bestfriend and her smile turned upside down. She felt bad for Kagome because sometimes when they come across the tree all her besfriend can think about was the little boy that left her when she was only a kid. A boy who left nothing but a bracelet and a promise that he will return for her one day.

Sango walked towards Kagome and patted her on the back. " Kag-chan, forget about him for now," Kagome looked up at Sango, " please, just for today again. I just wanna go to the mall and have some fun, but I can't if you keep thinking about him and feeling sad about it."

" I'm sorry, its just that.....I really miss him," Kagome replied.

" He told you he was gonna come back right," Kagome nodded, " and if he really cares for you, he will come back. All the things that you told me about him, seems to me that he really cares for you and that he's the type of guy that wouldn't break a promise to anyone. Just trust him Kagome and put a smile on your face for kami's sake!" Sango exclaimed.

Kagome's face brighten up at hearing those words from Sango. She smiled at her as a sign of thank you and Kagome turned to look at the tree one more time and she whispered to the air,

" I'll be waiting Inu-chan."

A red corvette was parked in front of the shrine unnoticable to the two girls that just passed by. The windows rolled down to reveal Inuyasha sitting in the passenger's side and beside him was Miroku.

" That was her?! Wow, you scored something big here Inuyasha! By the way, she looks a lot cuter in real life actually," Miroku exclaimed to Inuyasha. Inuyasha just sat there without saying a word, staring off at the distance not hearing what Miroku was saying.

Inuyasha already knew that Kagome really has changed and how she looks like now from the picture, but seeing her for real is something different. She still had that bright smile plastered on her face which always made Inuyasha's childhood days brighten up.

Inuyasha was amazed at how much this girl really had changed from the outside. She seemed to do just fine and she still looks beautiful. Inuyasha blushed at that sudden thought and was brought back to reality by a sudden jab in the ribs from Miroku.

" Stop drooling in my car, haven't seen this car for months now. Good thing my cousins really took good care of it since I last visited 7 months ago."

Inuyasha was still wincing from the pain, " You freakin...owwwww."

" Well, here I was blabbering about how you scored big from that Kagome girl and how cute her friend is too, but you just kept on daydreaming about your dreamgirl right there," Miroku ducked, missing the fist that Inuyasha had swung at him.

" You better shut up Miroku or you'll really get it. Roll up your windows too!" Inuyasha ordered while he also rolled up his windows to prevent anyone from seeing them there.

" Ok, ok, you don't have to bite my head off," Miroku pushed the button on his side to roll up the windows then turned back to Inuyasha, " so...you still goin with your plan?"

Inuyasha didn't answer Miroku back. He thought about it more and a part of him was telling him that he already wants to go see Kagome and tell her he's back and yet his other part was telling him to wait and continue on the plan.

" You gonna do the plan or what?" Miroku asked once again.

" The plan.........." Inuyasha murmured to himself.

Flashback

" So, what's the plan again Inuyasha?" asked Miroku.

" Again?! This is the last time I'm gonna tell you this. Ok, my plan is to trick Kagome into thinking that I'm someone else and not her childhood bestfriend."

" And how exactly are you gonna do that huh?"

" Well, I'm planning to go to her school and act like a jerk to her, annoy her, irritate her until she gets pissed off at me. I'll be hanging out with her, going to her school, and I'll only trick her for 2 weeks. After that 2 weeks, I'll reveal myself to her as Inuyasha, her childhood bestfriend and that's about it," Inuyasha smiled to himself about thinking that brilliant plan.

" And you're doing this because......"

" I don't really have a good reason. I just wanna play around with her that's all."

" Wait, first off all, if you're going to her school, you have to have a name that she won't know you by. Second of all, won't she recognize you. I mean you look different when you were young,but you still have that white hair, dog ears and golden orb eyes that she will recognize," said Miroku.

" For the first question, I got that taken care of, I was signed up at her school by my real name, but I called them up to change it into a nickname and they put me up as Yash Taikou. They put that up to be in my classes but in the school records, they have my real name in there. Second question, I'll just lie to her. Tell her I don't know what the heck she's talking about and just shake it off," Inuyasha sat down chugging down a can of diet coke.

" Well, what if she gets mad at you?"

" .........................."

" See that could be a problem."

" Well, she'll get over it."

" Sure, whatever. Alright then, to secure your safety when she figures it out, I'll go with you. I was also signed up at the school that you were put into, but I don't have any problems revealing my identity as Miroku Hentai."

Inuyasha stiffled a laugh and Miroku looked at him with an evil glance, he then truned away and said emotionally, " Was it my fault that my last name means perverts?! It's not my fault!"

"Oh just shut up........."

End of Flashback

" Hey Inuyasha, there they are again!" Inuyasha snapped out of his thoughts and put on his glasses back. Both guys stared at the two girls coming down from the shrine steps laughing cheerfully at each other. Kagome and Sango headed on to the bus stop, Kagome not noticing the red corvette parked on the side. Sango took one look but then ignored it.

Inuyasha looked back at the shrine steps only to see Mrs. Higurahsi standing on top of the steps looking straight at them. Mrs. Higurashi tilted her head on the side wondering who owns that parked car and who those people in it are. As she was about to head back towards the house, she saw the windows from the car roll down to reveal Inuyasha with his glasses on. Mrs. Higurashi covered her mouth to keep herself from yelling out his name. She was glad that he was finally back to Tokyo and she turned to look at her daughter standing at the bus stop just at the bottom of the stairs and smiled to herself.

Mrs. Higurashi nodded her head at Inuyasha and he rolled the windows back up. Inuyasha had called her the day before they came here telling her that he was coming and not to tell Kagome that he's back. He even told her about the plan while Mrs. Higurashi just laughed. She also promised not to tell Kagome about it. She watched as Kagome and Sango climb up the bus and go off while being tailed by the red corvette.

" Inuyasha, thank you for coming back," Mrs. Higurashi whispered into the thin air and headed back to the house.

" How about we go to the toy store? I want to buy Souta something for doing my chores last Saturday 'cause I was loaded with homework," Kagome suggested while munching on a potato chip. Sango nodded her head and both girls started to walk to the toy store, while a bit farther behind them follows Miroku.

They both followed Kagome and Sango at the mall and Inuyasha went off to get a drink. He told Miroku to wait for him there but as soon as Miroku caught sight of Sango, he couldn't help but to follow her.

Sango suddenly stopped walked and looked in back of her. Miroku hid on the corner where it was crowded with people before Sango caught sight of him. Kagome looked at her bestfriend with a questioning look on her face and Sango just smiled. They started walking again and then Sango turned around one more time which startled Miroku.

Miroku turned to the lady that was walking and started to talk to her as if he knew her. Sango was still staring at him but she walked off with Kagome. The lady looked at Miroku and he apologized and went on following the girls.

" Kagome, someone's definitely following us," Sango whispered. Kagome slyly looked in back of her and turned back to Sango, " Maybe that's just your imagination. No one's following us, there's like a lot of people here. How can you tell?"

" Not just anyone, that guy with the black polo and pants, the one with the glasses on," Sango mentioned, " I didn't see him just now, I also saw him a while ago in a parked car in front of the shrine. I have a really good vision and I saw him with someone else on the car and he was tailing the bus we were on a while ago."

" Should we report him somehow?" Kagome asked.

" No, we don't have any evidence that he is stalking us. Whatever I say, he might be able to turn it around. Ok, Kag start running and go around the corner and I'll follow you and then stop right there when you turn on the corner. Then I'll see if he followed us then I'll grab him by the neck."

" Alright, that sounds fun," giggled Kagome, " you count."

"1, 2, !"

Miroku saw the two running and he picked up his pace and followed them, "Where the heck are they going now?"

Kagome was running in front of Sango and she was almost to the corner. She was laughing to herself thinking of how silly this seems. Kagome skidded to a stop and swiftly turned to the corner. As she turned she didn't see someone with white hair, black sunglasses, and a baseball cap that was turning from the corner too and her thin body made a sharp contact with the other person's strong muscular body. She bumped into him and she was pushed back and she fell hard on her butt, while the guy's glasses and hat was knocked off from him.

Inuyasha looked down at the girl wincing from the pain and his eyes went wide open as he recognized Kagome. He tucked the necklace that Kagome gave him inside his polo. Kagome looked up and murmured a 'sorry' but she stopped because of the guy standing in front of her.

" White hair.....dog ears," Kagome said to herself, " gold eyes........"

" Hey Kagome-chan, I got him!" Sango was straddling Miroku, tightening her grip on Miroku's collar. Miroku winced but startled as he saw Kagome on the floor and Inuyasha standing in front of her, without the glasses or hat.

" Kagome-chan? What are you doing on the floor?" Sango looked at Inuyasha, " Did you hurt Kagome? Why you?!"

" Inu.....Inuyasha?"

Sango turned to Kagome, her face with the look of confusion. She then turned to look at Inuyasha, letting go of Miroku's collar. Inuyasha just stood there, his gaze transfixed on Kagome, not knowing what to say. Kagome stood up with teary eyes and walked towards Inuyasha. Kagome went up to Inuyasha and hugged him tight, tears coming down from her eyes. Inuyasha's body remained stiff though, he wanted to respond back to Kagome but then again, his stupid part is interfering with his mind.

Inuyasha looked at the two in front of him and down to the girl that he longed for, he shut his eyes and then said --

" Let go of me....." Kagome's body stiffened and she released her tight hold on Inuyasha and she looked up at him questioningly, " I'm not Inuyasha......"
