Chapter Three
I Promise
Inuyasha sat by the door with his legs indian style and his arms crossed on his chest. He had been waiting for hours just for Kagome to wake up. 'When will she get better? I sorta miss her yelling at me and telling me to sit. Mortals are so weak.' Kagome moved around a little and broke Inuyashas thought. He looked at her for a wile and saw that she was ok for now and went back to his thoughts. 'She said she loved me? Were my ears deceiving me? No. I could tell that's what she said. Why cant I tell her how I feel? I already know how she feels about me. I thought it would be easier to tell her if I knew, but it's only harder.'
He stood up and turned to walk out the door. 'I have to tell her.' He looked back a Kagome. 'Yes…. Today.' He pulled the curtain out of his way and walked slowly out the door. Miroku saw him and went to his side. "Inuyasha." Inuyasha looked at the monk then turned his head back onto the path. "How is Kagome doing?" he winked at Inuyasha. Inuyasha blushed and jumped back and pointed at Miroku. "You saw?" Miroku got a perverted smile on his face and nodded. "So did Sango." Inuyasha waved his hands infront of him. "Nothing happened." He said nervously. Miroku's smile got bigger and he moved closer to Inuyasha. "sure……what ever you say." Inuyasha was pissed off now from frustration. "I told you nothing happened!"
"It was nothing, Miroku." Said a small voice. They looked and saw a beautiful girl using the hut doorway to prop herself up. Inuyasha ran to her and put his hands on her hips for support. "Kagome, you should be resting." She pushed his hands away. "Get your hand off me!" inuyasha was stunned but not for long. He wrapped his hand around her wrist. "Come on, Go back to bed." inuyasha dragged her into the hut. She tried to get out of his grip but it was too tight. She winced from pain. "Stop it…your hurting me." Inuyasha let go and looked at Kagome who was now rubbing her wrist. "I'm…" he was cut off by the angry miko. "Don't! Just leave me alone." She slowly turned and wobbled back out of the hut.
Inuyasha just stood in shock. 'What have I done?' he looked at his hands, 'how could I hurt her like that?' he walked out of the hut and looked around to see no one was around. "Kagome…" he said sadly and only so he could hear it.
Kagome stumbled through the empty forest using trees to keep herself up. 'Inuyasha is so mean. I hate him!' she stopped in shock and fell to her hands and knees gently, now able to control her motions a little better. "No. No matter how much I like to think I hate him, I cant." She hung her head low and tears fell from her eyes. "But I can't stay. Never again. I won't come back." She stood up and grabbed hold of another tree. She looked back toward the village and shook her head. "Inuyasha, you can go to hell with Kikyo." Another tear fell as she turned back around.
Inuyasha ran through the forest frantically looking for Kagome. He was following her scent when all of a sudden another mixed with hers. It was almost exactly identical to Kagomes, but just slitely different. Then he heard a scream. He looked toward were the scream came from. "Kagome!" he ran as fast as he could until he got to her. "Kagome." He ran to where she was and slid down by her side. He picked her up into a half sitting, half laying position. "Kagome, are you ok." She didn't answer on account of she was unconches. (A/N: Kagome gets into a lot of trouble in this story. That's odd '. Oh well. Back to the story.)
"Aww, poor Kagome." A very familiar voice said. Inuyasha turned his head around to see Kikyo. He gently and slowly laid Kagome back onto the ground. He stood up and spoke, "Kikyo, I should have known it was you." Kikyo closed her eyes, smiled and shrugged her shoulders, "what can I say…" she opened her eyes and looked serious, "I love my handy work." Inuyashas face crumbled, "bitch!" he pulled out tetsiaga and got ready to fight. Kikyo put on a fake face that said 'please don't hurt me I'm just a stupid bitch', then closed her eyes again and opened them (…again. ') "you wouldn't hurt me." Inuyasha got furious from her words, "wanna bet!"
Kikyo walked to inuyasha and slowly pushed the tetsiaga away with her index finger. She leaned up to Inuyashas face holding the cloth of his kimono on his chest. "Do you really want to hurt me?" she said in a hurtful voice. Inuyasha put the tetsiaga away. Kikyo smiled and leaned closer to his face, "that's what I thought." Kikyo's lips collided with Inuyashas. His eyes widened then closed as he deepened the kiss. Kikyo broke free and ran into the dark forest, "ill see you later, inuyasha." She gave him a wink.
Inuyasha turned around to pick Kagome up, but discovered she was already. She was sitting up with wide eyes, looking strait into his. 'I knew he didn't like me, but did have to show me by kissing Kikyo?' "Kagome…. I." Kagome got up and turned away from him, "I told you to leave me alone!" she screamed, not wanting to listen to him. She leaned up against another tree and started to walk, but was stopped. "Kagome…. I love you!" inuyasha screamed back. Kagome froze in place. "Did you hear me? I said I love you." This time he said it like he ment it and she could tell. She turned around to look at him, to look deep into his soul.
The whole time he looked into her soul, his heart aching with loneliness and his arms aching to hold her. To hold her close, to protect her, to love her: this was all he wanted from life. She wobbled slowly, but then somehow she found enough strength to walk quickly to him. She dove into his arms, "inuyasha, I love you too."
Inuyasha pulled out of her arms, turned around and bent down a little. She slowly climbed onto his back. He ran all the way back to the village and walked into the hut.
"Now you get some rest." He said while pulling the covers over her. He stood and then started to walk out, but felt a pull on his pants. He looked down at Kagome. "Will you stay with me?" he nodded and lay down by her. She moved closer to him and laid her head down on his chest. He gently moved her head and lay infront of her. To where they were now laying face to face. Inuyasha put his arms around her and she pressed against him, pulling herself close in his arms. "Now go to sleep." he wisperd. She pushed her head into his kimono and against his chest. "Do you promise to never leave me?" she said in a sad voice. He buried his face in her hair and then kissed her head. "I promise." She closed her eyes and relaxed.
