(A/N: Hello readers! Here's chapter 4 of The Vow)

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Inuyasha sadly!

"NO!" Kagome laughed, her voice dangerously close to a screech. "Stop, Inuyasha, I mean it." She stood precatiously upn a pair of rented ice skates.

Inuyasha spun easily around her, taunting her by pretending that he was going to topple her. They'd strolled through downtown Tokyo, going into some jewlery, clothing, and trinket shops. Then they continued wandering until they stumbled upon this ice skating rink.

"You can't skate," he said as he laughed at her.

"I told you that, Sherlock!"

"I know, I know. But I had to see it for myself to really believe it." He was circling her like a beautiful vulture as he spoke.

"Stop that," she ordered, "you're making me dizzy."

He then grabbed her by the waist as he stopped in front of her. She began to wobble violently as she looked into his laughing eyes. He moved easily and pulled her tightly against him, allowing his balance to stabilize her.

"You're okay," he said softly, "don't worrt, I've got you."

Kagome stopped laughing as she looked at him. "I know," she said.

"You know," Inuyashasaid softly as he held her close, "most people who can roller-skate are fine when they get on the ice skates. That's why I asked if you could roller-skate before I brought you here."

"I guess I'm not most people," Kagome answered softly.

"I guess not." he said. 'I really wish I could kiss her soft lips right now.' he thought.

A couple of families were on the ice along with an old couple dressed in matching red, white, and blue Bavarian style sweaters. A young couple who really knew what they were doing were gliding easily and beautifully by.

"Are you cold?" he asked her.

"A little."

"Ready to go?"

"Not yet. Take me around the rink one more time, okay?"

"Okay," said Inuyasha. He took her gloved hands in his and began skating backward, gently tugging her along.

"Bend your knees some. And pick up your feet when you feel you can."

"All right," Kagome said as she kept her eyes on the ice and their feet. "Why are you so good at this?"

"I've been skating eversince I was a little kid. My mom used to take me every weekend." he said.

"Really? You don't hear a lot about Japanese skaters," she said.

"Well, I guess the number rises today, thanks to you."

Kagome looked up and then smiled at Inuyasha. They had rounded the skating rink by now.

"I don't think anyone would call this skating."

"You're right, come on, you deserve a treat for trying so hard."

They left the skating rink and went to a small café.

They each had ramen because of the cold weather.

"This food is good." said Kagome.

"Yeah, it is. I always get full when I ear from here."

They continued talking and laughing.

"So, are you going to be in the talent show this year?" asked Kagome.

"Yeah, I'm supposed to be singing this song."

"Really? I'd like to hear it sometime," she said.

"Why don't we study at your place on Monday? I can let you hear some of the song." he said.

"I'd love to!" she said.
