Sorry for taking so long to update, but like every other 14 yr old, I had chores to do and babysitting…This chapter is really rated PG-13.…This talks about Kagome's promise…to the one she loved (If you get angry, email me about it and yell into your email) (Please read entire chapter before sending any angry emails)

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha and wish I could stop making disclaimers, but they can be HA HA funny and sometimes HEE HEE funny. O well.

Chapter Ten: Kagome's Childhood Promise

"Go away, Ginta. You have done enough damage," Kagome muttered, still crying. InuYasha was silent for a minute.

"Who said I was Ginta?" he asked, eyeing the forming bruises on Kagome's cheeks. "That hurt." Kagome stopped crying, wiped her face, and looked up at him.

"I thought you were Ginta. Sorry. He reminds me of the single Miroku. He demands I give him what belongs to you. I didn't mean to hurt you, InuYasha. I guess you're right. This was the mistake of my lifetime," Kagome answered. InuYasha hugged her. "When did you become such a nice guy since it was you who said this was the mistake of my life?" InuYasha looked into her eyes.

"I was kind of harsh on you. I just didn't want you to give up so easily. Hell, I didn't even want you there." Kagome's eyes started to water. "I wanted you there beside me, but not if you were forced to be with him or die. Besides, I guess I deserved the slap. What did you promise me?" Kagome smiled and pretended to give a look.

"You know what it is." InuYasha shook his head. "Hai, you do." InuYasha shook his head again.

"Tell me, Kagome." Kagome giggled.

"Alright fine. I promised myself that I would save myself for the one I love. The one I love happens to be you. So, basically, I promised myself to you. Ginta wishes for the breaking of the promise. I can't do that. Even if I was to chose between that and death." InuYasha was silent. "InuYasha?"

"You rather die than give up your promise?" Kagome nodded, a light blush tinting her cheeks. "When can you break a promise like that? I mean the situation must have to be extreme." Kagome shook her head.

"I would NEVER break the promise. It has too great of value for me. The only way for me to break it would for it to be fulfilled to a certain extent. That can't happen though. I'm getting sick of talking about it. I got to get changed. That dumb Ginta will be expecting me for lunch. I wish I were sick. Sorry, InuYasha, you have to leave. Stand by the door if you wish. I'm changing into that kimono you gave me, so, you can't be in here." InuYasha nodded and his face fell. Kagome gave him a stern look. InuYasha went to stand up, but was pulled back down by Kagome. "You forgot something."

"What did I forget?" InuYasha asked, eyebrows raised. Kagome smiled a devilish smile. InuYasha smiled and kissed Kagome. "Was that it? Ginta may figure everything out first before we can kill him. Try not to lead him onto us." Kagome nodded. They both stood up at the same time. InuYasha turned and left the room. Kagome slipped on the pretty kimono and tied the matching silver obi around her waist. She brushed out her hair and walked out of the room. InuYasha and Kilala followed her into the main room where just two days ago, Sango and Miroku were released from imprisonment. Kagome smiled through the black and blue marks on her face. InuYasha and Kilala bowed and left to stand just in the hallway. Kagome bowed to Ginta and his guests. She took her seat next to Ginta. She looked over at one of the guests. It was Koga!
