Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, sorry to say it, but alas it is true! Have a nice day!

Broken promises

"I'm sorry. But I love her, I told her I would protect her, and be with her forever. Through life and death. I must stick by that promise until the end of time."

"But you promised me. Inuyasha please," she plead, as a single tear fell down her porcelain cheek.

"I promised her first. I gave her my everything, that includes my heart. I'm sorry," he said sympathetically. Inuyasha hated doing this to her, because he did love her, but he understood that he could never fully love her as she deserved. So he was doing the noble thing and letting her down now instead of waiting till it would hurt more in the end. As Kagome's Grandfather always said to him, 'You got to nip it in the bud, before its too late,' and Inuyasha was nipping right this second.

There was a terribly long, and painful silence between them. Kagome shed a few more tears, her head bowed in sadness. She lifted her head, after a few more moments, parted her lips as to say something, but her mouth was dry, and her voice was now seemed to be gone. She tried to look away from Inuyasha but she could do anything but.

Inuyasha looked into her eyes, and saddened. He dreaded doing this to Kagome. Her tears made his heart ache, and clench in silenced pain.

"Please don't cry Kagome. No more tears, not for such a worthless person as me," he lifted his hand to her face, to wipe away the tears. When his finger was about to touch her cheek, she flinched and backed away. At the sight of Kagome flinching to his touch, made his heart break, 'I do deserve this,' he thought sadly.

"Don't... don't touch me," despite her cries Inuyasha advanced toward Kagome again. And placed his hand on her cheek, wiping away the few tears, he cupped her cheek, she leaned into this advance and her eyes fluttered shut. Inuyasha came closer to her, his body now pressed firmly on her form. His breath was tickling her delicate lips, and he began to close the small gap in between their mouths, Kagome's eyes opened and she realized what was happening, with Inuyasha a mere whisper from her face she turned from Inuyasha's touch, then slapped him across the face.

Kagome pushed him away from her. She wasn't about to have a guy 'dump her,' break her heart, and then try to kiss her! No, she would have none of that.

"I said 'Don't touch me!'" Inuyasha was speechless, he looked at her with sad eyes, and lifted his hand to the place it where Kagome slapped him.

"Inuyasha... back away from me," Kagome warned.

"But Kagome, you need to understand that I love you, but I will always love Kikyo more."

"So you try to kiss me, I would not understansd your reasoning by you kissing me. That would only serve to confuse me more. I am warning you for the last time Inuyasha you stay away from me, or so help me Kami!" Her voice was shaky and weak, but she knew she had to stand her ground.

"Kagome, I am sorry. Please forgive me. I at least want to be your-"

"Don't you say that!"

"NO! Kagome, I want to be your friend."

Kagome looked like she was just slapped by Inuyasha. Iy soon changed to one of pure outrage, she had never heard anything so absurd in her entire life. "You must be out of your pee-brained mind! You have got to be kidding me."

"Kagome," Inuyasha whispered.

"Inuyasha, I will never forgive you for breaking my heart, for betraying me! Not ever! I HATE YOU!"

Inuyasha looked completely dumbfounded, he wondered if this really was Kagome, because the one he knew was the most loving and forgiving person he had ever met, and now she was anything but. "Kagome..."

"Kagome, Kagome, Kagome, is that all you can say!"

"Have you absolutely lost your mind! Kikyo helped Naraku! She betrayed you! She gave Naraku our shards, your shards! She helped your greatest enemy! I don't understand you, and you know what I don't want to. You don't have to give me an explanation, not now, not ever. It would just be confusing!" With those few parting words Kagome turned her back on Inuyasha, never to see him again. But for old times sake she would say it, just one more time.

"Inuyasha," at the softness of Kagome's words, a spark of hope ignited in Inuyasha, he thought he would be forgiven, "I love you and probably always will, Sit boy," Kagome said in a cold and unforgiving voice. Soon she heard a loud THUD and knew he was down. She then heard muffled yelling and knew he was trying to call her back. So she yelled it again, and again.

"SIT, SIT, SIT!" She started to run, as fast as her legs would carry her. As she ran farther, and farther from Inuyasha her heart was breaking more and more. With every step she took, more tears came.

She figured if she went through the well Inuyasha would get the message and never come after her.

Kagome had ran for almost a mile and knew Inuyasha wasn't coming after her, yet. She was now at the trail she had gone down so many times it was sickening. She could close her eyes and make her way down the trail, and to the well, without worry or doubt. She was in such a daze she didn't care about really anything anymore, the tears were coming so much more slowly now, and she was calming down. A light spring rain began .The mist felt wonderful on her hot face. The rain was always so cleansing, and so calming. Kagome loved it.

She closed her eyes and began to walk more slowly, she was so tired so worn out it amazed her. But with her eyes closed she failed to notice the tall, statuesque figure standing a few feet in front of her.

And of course she bumped into it. Her face hit it's rock hard chest. She let out small "eep!" Then with her head still bowed, she slowly opened her eyes. Her breath had caught in her throat. She was scared to death she thought Inuyasha had come back for her, and she hadn't hear him. But when she noticed the boot covered feet, she breathed a little again. She looked up from his feet, to his legs to his chest, his face, from his lips, to his nose, then brilliantly golden colored eyes. She noticed his amazing silver hair, and let out a small sigh, and as strange as it was a wave of relieve washed over her petite form.

"Oh thank the gods it's only you Sesshomaru. I thought you were... an evil demon out to kill me." She finished lamely. Sesshomaru sighed this time, the woman was getting to comfortable with his presence.

When reality came back to Kagome, all the memories of what happened with Inuyasha had came back to her, full force. Before she realized what she had done Kagome threw her arms around Sesshomaru's waist and hugged his lean form, she buried her face into his chest and began to cry.

"Miko what do you think you are doing?" Kagome still went on like she didn't hear what he said. Sesshomaru let out anther sigh, this woman really was a bother.

"Sesshomaru-kun Inuyasha, he, he ... Oh Sesshomaru!" She pulled him closer to her form and cried even harder.

Sesshomaru understood her pain, far too well for his own liking. He pulled her closer to him, and put his arms around her waist, then put his chin on the top of her head.

Sesshomaru had been traveling with the Inu-gang, and he knew how Inuyasha had treated this fragile little creature. He was still amazed at this woman, she had managed to gain a portion of his trust, and respect, in less than a few moments. She did the unbelievable...

(A/N: The first part of this flashback is to give you the setting, then later on it will be the reasons for Sess understanding how Inuyasha treated Kagome...)

"Inuyasha, we can't beat Naraku alone. We need help! Sesshomaru-sama might be willing to help. If we had him, we could defeat Naraku."

"We don't need Sir Fluff!" Inuyasha snapped.

"Sit!"

THUD

"You stupid wench, what was that for?"

"Inuyasha, it was for being stubborn. You are so rude. The fact that he is even considering helping us is an honor, and well fikin' amazing!" Sesshomaru smirked at that comment. This girl thought he was a great warrior, and he was of course, and he didn't need her to tell him so. She was just a stupid human girl, she didn't even know what she was saying.' But why is she so persistent? She must not want to die, and wants to save her own behind, and might I add her very beautiful behind. AH What am I thinking. She is a stupid ugly human wench, and Inuyasha's wench at that. But why do they fight so? And she wanted his help...extraordinary.'

She was an interesting creature, this Kagome was, she was the one girl who pulled the Tetsuiga from it's deep slumber, in my father's tomb, when neither me, nor Inuyasha could. That definitely peaked my interest in her then, but I could not persue that interest then. What was more was she didn't even realize she had pulled the sword, and when she realized it, she was stunned as to how she did it. That confused and puzzled look she had confirmed it. And when she said "Oops.." that was the term humans used when they did something be accident. Rin said it often.

She was the reason he had no arm, if his pesky brother didn't feel the need to show off, then he wouldn't have hacked my arm off. 'Oh well, I suppose it will grow back in a few hundred years, Gods that is gonna hurt..' She also broke many a good armor. And she still acted as if she didn't really know how to use a bow. But she managed to wriggle out of many tight spots with her bow and arrow, and with her miko powers. She was also able to control his idiotic half brother with a single command word. That was a sight to see, especially when he was in a bad mood. She was amazing.

After many fights with Inuyasha, and him trying to kill Inuyasha, and Kagome, and vice versa, she still wanted his help. She was in a weird way fighting on his behalf. Although he never said he wanted it. He didn't even say he would help them, if Inuyasha said he could. Yes, she was very entertaining to watch, and to have around...

"Please Inuyasha swallow your pride and let your brother help us."

"Half brother!" Both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru said this(and hey they said it together! I stress together people! Amazing I know.).

"Whatever! Please Inuyasha, nothing bad will happen! He is not completely a bad guy. Hey he could even be nice, well at least to me and the rest of the gang, he just hates your guts!"

"I am not nice."

"He is a complete bastard to everyone, not just me, right Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked, without even looking in Sesshomaru's general direction.

"Correct." (A/N: Again in agreement!)

"I don't care, he can still help us. Please Inuyasha, let him help us?" Kagome looked at him with the biggest and cutest puppy dog eyes she could muster.

"Kagome! Why with the puppy dog eyes! You are evil. But guess what its not gonna work- don't make your bottom lip quiver, don't pretend like your gonna cry! I will not falter. He is a useless jerk! We don't need him. We have Tetsuiga."

"Pleeeeease?"

"Feh," Inuyasha threw his hand up in the air, as a term of surrender. "Damn, woman, you and those eyes will be the end of me!"

"I know!"

"Whatever, wench."

"Yeah!" Kagome exclaimed jumping up into the air and laughing. "Thank you Inuyasha!" She was acting like it was Christmas, and she just got the best present ever ( I would love to wake up, and get Sesshomaru for Christmas!)

"So long as he stays away from me, and keeps his big mouth shut!"

"Okay!"

"Wench, did I say I would help you. I came and you assumed. I didn't stop you from this compromise, because I simply wanted to see my dear half breed brother get 'sat'. As you call it. I can kill Naraku on my own, I have no need for your services, and no reason to aid you in battle. And I will certainly love to watch Naraku slay my half brother." Rin was standing behind her master, but heard everything and was sure her master would help his own brother, and friends. 'They seemed really nice, especially the pretty Kagome lady.' So Rin tugged on his sleeve to get his attention. But it went unnoticed because of the half demon yelling.

"You can't kill me!"

"Yes I can, my naive little brother."

"HEY!" Inuyasha yelled, he began to charge toward Sesshomaru, with the newly unsheathed Tetsuiga.

"SIT!"

THUD

"What was that for!"

"Shut up Inuyasha! One, Sesshomaru, the name is Kagome, not wench, KA-GO-ME. Two, you need our help just as much as we need your help. How are you going to protect Rin, when your are single-handedly taking down Naraku, are you gonna leave that job to Jaken, the almighty toad lord! I hope not! Him against Kagura wouldn't work! Three, I can do something for you that would definitely aid you in fighting, hell help you in everything that you do," Kagome had certainly gotten serious on everyone.

'What is she talking about? How can she help me?'

"And what could you give me wench, that would aid me?" Sesshomaru was stalking toward her, very slowly but none the less getting closer.

Kagome came across the battlefield, and came to just a few steps in front of Sesshomaru, and lifted her arm to his. Or what was left of it...

'Oh, Kami-sama, when did I get so bold!' But she still kept eye contact with him (did I mention that her other hand is resting on his chest!), and had no intention of breaking it.

"Your arm, I can restore your arm." Sesshomaru's eyes widened, he hadn't expected this.

"Kagome you can't! That's Sesshomaru!"

"Duh, Inuyasha. But we need his him." They still hadn't lost eye contact.

"Kagome you can't!"

"My Lord! Your gonna get your arm back! Your gonna get your arm back!" Rin was jumping up and down saying his in a most sing-song way. She ran behind the tree where Jaken was and started dancing with him, still singing her song.

"Inuyasha, I can and will restore his arm, that is if he wants me to, and as long as he helps us."

"Miko, you are not trained for these kinds of things. How will you do something this extremly proffesional when you are only a child with no experience what so ever?"

"I agree, Kagome. You don't even know how to do that kind of stuff!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Yes I can restore your arm."

"Since when!" Asked an outragged Inuyasha.

"Since I began my training with Kaede, you baka. I trained for a whole summer on healing, and perfecting my miko techniques. I won't say I am the best, by any means of the word, but I can heal you."

"And you would protect Rin when I could not. Treat her as your own pup. And what of your kit, you can't save them both."

"Watch me," she narrowed her eyes in determination.

"Milord, You can't! An alliance with a half-breed, and his stupid human wench: that just so happens to be a miko!" Jaken squeaked, finally entering the conversation.

"Jaken, silence."

Jaken feeling his master's wrath, thankfully only in words, got the hint and shut his mouth.

"So will you help us?" Inuyasha was getting more and more pissed off by the second, Kagome had her arms all over Sesshomaru, and was way closer to Sesshomaru than she every was with him. It was taking all his self control not to go over to them and rip Sesshomaru to pieces.

"If you restore my arm." Kagome flashed him her brilliant smile, and he cherished it, for he knew he would not see that smile too often, it warmed him for some reason. She was truly magnificent.

The entire time they had been staring at each other, Kagome didn't once take her eyes off him, or remove her hands from his chest, or shoulder. Inuyasha was of course really ticked off, and so was Jaken, but this went unnoticed by Sesshomaru and Kagome. Oh yeah, and Rin was staring dreamily at the pair.

'I am gonna get a new mommy!' Rin had an amazingly bright smile on her face. She desperately wanted a new mother, she loved Sesshomaru, but he was no mother.

'Does she really want to help me that much? She is quite brave and extraordinary. Wait.. What am I thinking, she is just a stupid human wench.' Sesshomaru thought.

'I hope I can do this. For Shippo, Sango, Miroku, Kirara, Inuyasha.. and Sesshomaru?' Kagome thought.

'Stupid girl. How dare she touch Sesshomaru, with her filthy unworthy hands.' Jaken was just a bit outraged.

'Kagome, stop touching him! Why are you touching him? We don't need his help, you don't need his help, you have me,' thought a pitiful, and desperate Inuyasha.

"Here goes nothing," Kagome mumbled.

So I hope you enjoyed the first chapter, guess how many pages it took when I typed it? TEN! I know, the next one is THIRTEEN! AAH! I will update soon I promise. I am not usually good for my promises to update but I will, I swear!
