Chapter 6

A Promise

I don't own inuyasha

When inuyasha walked out onto the deck, he saw miroku just looking out into the ocean.

"I guess you had the same idea as me." miorku looked back at him as he walked over.

"Couldn't sleep?" inuyasha kinda chuckled.

"Too much on my mind." Miroku raised his eye brow.

"You were thinking? Now that's amazing." Inuyasha punched him in the arm. Miroku just gave him a grin. Then inuyasha opened his hand to look at what he pulled out of the desk. Miroku looked over and was a little surprised.

"Isn't that shinra's necklace?" inuyasha smirked.

"Yeah, she asked me to give it to her child when it founds its way back here." Miroku raised an eyebrow.

"So why did you get it out?" inuyasha looked over at him.

"Because kagome is her daughter." Miroku's eyes grew wide.

"Your kidding right?" inuyasha shook his head.

"She is, and shinra's dead. Most likely shot by one of the navy officers." miroku put his hand threw his hair.

"Damn it." with that said they both went silent. Neither knew what to say. Miroku then looked over at inuyasha one last time before he started to walk off.

"You going to keep the promise you made to her?" inuyasha looked back at him and then back out to the see. Miroku just closed his eyes and started to walk inside.

Inuyasha sat there remembering what he said he would do for shinra. It was the day she was to leave them to start a new life. Inuyasha was the last person to say goodbye to her. She gave him a friendly hug and whispered in his ear.

"I'm pregnant." Inuyasha's eyes told everyone that he was a little surprised.

"I'll walk you to the carriage." So he did. They walked off the ship and to a carriage that was waiting for her.

"When did you find out?" she smiled.

"only about a month ago, that is one reason I'm leaving." Inuyasha smiled.

"Well I hope you'll be happy." She nodded, and was about to get in the carriage but then stopped. She walked back over to inuyasha and took off her necklace. She grabbed inuyasha's hand and put it in his hand.

"What is this?"

"I know that one day my baby will somehow find her way back to the black demon. When she does, I would like you to give this too her. And if you would, maybe let her stay on the ship for awhile." Inuyasha looked down at the shining purple jewel.

"How do you know it's a girl?" shinra just smiled.

"I don't, I just have this feeling that she will be. who knows maybe you two will fall in love." Inuyasha smirked.

"you never know." she smiled.

"just take care of her." inuyasha nodded.

"I promise, I will." She then gave him another hug before getting in the carriage and riding away.

Inuyasha looked down at the necklace in his hand and then up to the sky.

"I don't know if I can finish that last part of my promise, shinra." He then closed his hand around the necklace and put it back in his pocket. He then started to walk inside. When he got inside he looked over at kagome and noticed she wasn't crying tonight. He was glad because he didn't like her crying. She was so beautiful when she smiled. Inuyasha shook his head free of those thoughts.

'She's getting married.' He thought as he crawled into bed next to her. And watched as she turned over towards him. He couldn't help but kind of smile. He then whipped it away and tried to get some sleep.

'Tomorrow is kumamoto. Maybe I can get her off my mind.' He thought as he dozed off.

The next day was a beautiful one. The sun was out and it wasn't to hot or cold. Perfect weather. They were on there way to a small party town called Kumamoto. Then after that they were going straight to Kagoshima, which was only about a day from Kumamoto. That morning inuyasha was surprised but kagome didn't freak out when she woke up to find inuyasha sleeping next to her. He was thankful but still a little confused. Also when inuyasha saw her that morning she was unusually cheery. He asked her what was wrong with her but she just smiled and said.

"I'm just happy to be on the open water." Inuyasha didn't get it but didn't push it. He just got all his clothes on and walked out on deck to start the day.

Later that day kagome was curious about inuyasha. She had heard rumors about him but since he already said that they weren't true she wanted to know the truth. She had walked up to the deck when most of the others were eating. Inuyasha was navigating since he was the captian. Kagome walked over and sat on a chair that was near the wheel of the ship.

"Inuyasha?" he looked over at her.

"What?" she smiled.

"What was your family like?" he raised an eyebrow.

"Why so interested all of a sudden?" she shrugged.

"you said most of the stuff people say about you is a lie, so I want to know some stuff that is true." he smirked.

"Alright. My brother is somewhere, in the seas of china, probably stealing everything he can. I don't know where my parents are, me and my brother think they were killed but we aren't for sure. And I'm here around Japan." Kagome gave him a surprised look.

"Wow, your family is really spread out." he just nodded.

"But it's alright with me, my brother and I never really got along." Kagome kind of giggled. She then thought of another question.

"Did you ever have a girlfriend?" inuyasha kinda tensed a little but then answered.

"Once, her name was kikyo. I wasn't really fond of her because she was really clingy. But then I found out she was also clingy to other men as well." kagome's eyes went wide.

"I'm sorry." He just shook it off.

"Don't be, she was a whore." Kagome giggled at that too and inuyasha just chuckled.

Just then a younger crew mate came running up the stairs. He bowed and then looked up.

"Captain Inuyasha, I was wondering if I would be able to practice my capoeria with you today?" inuyasha shook his head.

"I'm sorry, shippo but not today. We are going to be porting at Kumamoto tonight." he kind of dropped his head. Kagome then butted in.

"I can practice with you, if you would like." Shippo looked at her.

"But you're just a woman." She raised an eyebrow.

"So what if I am?"

"Woman can't fight." Inuyasha smirked.

"Alright, then lets take a little practice round." He nodded and then walked down to the main deck.

Only after about 10 minutes of them fight, well more like kagome teaching shippo what to not do, they decided to take a break.

"You are really good, and you look familiar." Kagome smiled.

"Thank you, but I don't think we have ever met before." He nodded.

"I guess not. Well I think we are about to get to land. I'm going to go get ready." Kagome nodded as he bowed and then ran off.

Kagome walked back over to the deck. She sat back down in that chair and looked over at inuyasha.

"Who was that shippo kid?" inuyasha kept watching where he was going.

"He was an orphan child shinra picked up. He is a kind of weak but tries to get tougher." Kagome smiled.

"That's probably why he thought he knew Me." inuyasha smiled.

"You do look a lot like her." she kind of blushed.

"Ummm...thanks." there was an earie silence between the two until he started to turn the ship around some rocks.

"So what is in kumamoto?" inuyasha smirked.

"Just a good time." kagome raised an eyebrow.

"You mean sleeping with woman, and drinking." She kind of glared at him. She had thought that he had more respect then that.

"You make it sound like a crime." She shook head and stormed off.

Out on sea only off the coast of Kagoshima, was the Jadai. On that ship was kouga and his men. They were all on guard. Koga was looking around the coast for any sigh of the black demon that he knew would be there. Just then he got a tap on the shoulder. He turned around to see kagome's father.

"Sir, this is the fastest ship in the Japan seas. Maybe they aren't here yet." Koga sighed.

"Yes I know that. We'll wait about 4 days, and if they don't show then we'll have to come up with something else." He nodded.

"But they will show up. I know they will." Kouga said as he leaned over the edge.

'And if anyone of those filthy pirates as even laid a finger on her I'll rip them apart. Especially that filthy mutt inuyasha.' kouga thought as he turned around to go manage his troops before they went ashore.
