"Let's run away Kagome and I promise I will never let Inuyasha hurt you again."

"Like hell you will punk!" A growl came from behind the door.

The two looked at the door and it breaks at its hinges, making the door fall. Hoku stood up and held Kagome, when the dust cleared Hoku checked to see if Kagome was safe. Then looked back at the door.

There stood Inuyasha, walking towards them.

"Take your ugly hands off my Kagome."

I Promise You

Chapter Three:

Confessed Feelings

Part One

Hoku glared, sensing Inuyasha's aura has changed. He pushed Kagome father onto the bed.

"Stay there."

"It's just Inuyasha-"

"That isn't Inuyasha no more!" Hoku snapped, glaring at the demon before him. "He's in demon mode…he let his demon side take over him."

Kagome looked at Inuyasha, who had indeed changed. He was hunched over, his fangs were larger and his claws were longer. He had markings on his face and his eyes were wildly red. His aura, too, had changed. It seemed he was out of control.

"Kagome…" Inuyasha growled, walked, slowly to the bed, reaching a hand out to her.

Kagome goes to reach for him but she gets picked up off the bed then placed behind Hoku. Hoku took out his sword and held it in front of him.

"Now Inuyasha…calm down I don't want to-"

"Give me my Kagome!" Inuyasha roared, running at Hoku and slashing at him.

Hoku blocked him with his sword, but even then, huge claw marks were indended into the sword. Inuyasha's swung again, throwing the sword of out Hoku's hands and across the room.

'Ahhh crap…' Hoku thought to himself. "Kagome run onto the balcony…go!"

Kagome, who was very scared of Inuyasha now did she was told. She ran out onto the balcony and noticed the tree Hoku climbed up. She ran over to the tree and was about to climb on top of the railing to get into the tree when Hoku came flying onto the balcony, his face and chest cut up.

"Hoku-kun!" Kagome couldn't leave him like that.

She rushed over to him, but he struggled to get up on his own and hold up his hand at her.

"Iie…hime…I'll just have to deal with him, hanyou, to hanyou." Hoku then began to change himself.

His fangs went longer, his developed claws, and he grew markings on his face and hands. His eyes, however, never changed, nor his aura. He was stronger and in control of himself. Inuyasha came onto the balcony, snarling at Hoku, with Hoku's blood on his hands. Tears came flooding out of Kagome's eyes. Her heart couldn't take it anymore. She ran in between the two and looked at Inuyasha.

"Tomare! Onegai-kudasai!"

"Kagome! Move!" Hoku shouted.

Inuyasha stopped, his snarling stopped. He held out his hand to show the blood to her, as if to get her approval. More tears came to her eyes.

"Iie! That's bad Inuyasha! You shouldn't hurt friends!"

Inuyasha's ear fell back, and if he had a tail would have most likely gone between his legs. He took his hand back and cradled it with the other.

"Hanyou threaten…to take you away…Stealing you…"

Kagome walked closer to him.

"You know…I would never go anywhere without you. Besides…I am upset with you…"

Inuyasha face softened. He knew why she was mainly upset. He remembered what happened 20 minutes ago.

"It's not true…human side…tells lies…" Inuyasha said in a low growl.

Hoku went back to his normal form and came up behind Kagome.

"Your human half?" Hoku asked.

Inuyasha nodded.

"Anything human…die so easily…don't want to be too attached…to someone that may die…again."

"Like your Mother."

Inuyasha nodded at Kagome.

"Gomen-ne Kagome…" Inuyasha looked at his hands and make a whimpered sound.

Kagome ran over and hugged him.

"Don't lie to me no more…." Kagome nuzzled her face into Inuyasha's hatori.

Inuyasha went rigged at the touch. He looked down at Kagome. Then his body tensed down, but his hands grabbed her fiercely. Hoku jumped to his feet until he sensed Inuyasha's demon aura started to weaken.

"You will never leave me?"

Kagome looked up at him and smiled.

"Why would I leave my Inu-kun?"

Inuyasha red eyes softened and he smiled, showing off his fangs. His eyes then changed from the red and turned back to his golden color.

"I love you…Kagome…"

Kagome beamed at Inuyasha and Hoku nearly fell forward.

"She is only a kid! She doesn't understand that…either do you!"

"So…does it matter?" Inuyasha then leaned down at Kagome and his lips touched her's.

Kagome's eyes widen, and then close. Inuyasha's claws shortened, and his markings disappeared. Hoku's heart seemed to skipped a beat.

'Kagome…' Hoku's glared hard at them. 'No…I still have time…'

When the kissed ended Kagome's face turned all pink, as she reached up and touched her lips. Inuyasha smiled down at her then it dawned on him.

"Ahhhhh! Kagome!" Inuyasha backed up and pointed at her, his face making his hatori. "You….you…you tricked me!"

Kagome's face got redder.

"ME! I wasn't the one who got all mushy!"

"Eh! It's not like I said I liked you or something…" Inuyasha crossed his arms.

Hoku, sweat drop, waved over at him.

"You…did…"

"Eh!" Inuyasha looked down at Kagome who gave him a pouted look.

"So you lied again?"

"Iie! I mean…well…I…feh!" Inuyasha looked down, his bangs covering his eyes. "No…I didn't lied…"

Kagome then pounced on him, knocking him onto the ground.

"Inuyasha loves me!" She starts to sing. "K-i-s-s-i-n-g. First comes love! Then comes marriage!"

"Hey! Who said you were going to marry him!" Hoku snapped.

"I didn't! Our fathers did!" Inuyasha yelled angrily back at Hoku. "Kagome! Stop singing that!"

"Then comes Inuyasha with a baby carriage! Hoku and Inuyasha love me! K-i-s-s-i-n-g! First comes love-"

"Nani!" Inuyasha growled at Hoku.

Hoku blushed and held up his hands.

"Now wait a minute….I didn't confess to anything…"

"Then comes mar-he-he-riage-"

"Kagome!" Inuyasha growled…

"Then comes Inu and Hoku with a baby car-he-he-riage!"

"Kagome!" Hoku snapped.

"Hakudoushi."

All three children stopped yelling/singing and Inuyasha and Kagome stood in fear. Hoku turned around to see his Father standing in mid-air.

"Otou-san! I can explain!"

"I bet you could Hakudoushi, but at the moment, you are in trouble." A tentacle came out from the man's back and grabbed Hoku.

Hoku was then pulled up to the man's side, Hoku struggled, and then Kagome screamed.

"Let Hoku-kun go! We are just playing!"

"Playing? With the enemy? Kagome no hime, I am very sorry, my son should of explained to you before."

"Explain what?" Inuyasha asked, holding Kagome very close to him, scared that he'll grab her too.

"That we are the people your Fathers are fighting against." The man grinned.

"Naraku…" Inuyasha started to growl.

"However, my son has grown a fondness for your company, Kagome no hime. How about coming along with us?" Another tentacle came out and starts to reach for Kagome, until a giant clawed paw slashed at it, cutting it to pieces.

A gigantic dog jumped and landed just above the balcony, covering the hanyou prince and the miko princess. The dog snarled, baring his teeth.

"Naraku! How dare you enter my kingdom?"

"Heh, Inutaisho I should of gotten a better greeting than that. After all Kagome no Hime is the one who invited my son to play."

The demon dog glared down at Kagome and she whimpered, never seeing The Demon King in his demon form. Inuyasha hugged onto Kagome and looked up at his father, bravely.

"We didn't know Hoku was Naraku's son. She doesn't know better."

Inutaisho looked back up to Naraku.

"Since I didn't finish you off before, I think I'll do that now."

"And fight in front of our children? Now that isn't very fatherly of you. Besides, to show a little miko girl what a true demon is, isn't the way to win over her into your family."

Inutaisho looked down at Kagome in the corner of his eye. She looked up back at him, shivering in great fear. She clung to Inuyasha desperately.

"Besides, you know right well Kagome no Hime should of belonged to my son in the beginning."

The Demon King sneered.

"It was the High Miko Priestess who chooses Kagome no Hime's mate. It was a sign from the Goddess Selenity that would were evil intended. Besides, even if there is no love, the Shikon no Tama will never be in your hands. And even if you killed Kagome you would loose all hope for the Shikon no Tama."

Naraku glared angrily, he then took out a long scimitar and sliced it into the air, making a black void in it's place.

"I will have the Shikon no Tama. Protect your son well, even if Kagome doesn't make the Shikon no Tama, her offspring will." With then Naraku went through the void and with a blinding light it closes.

Kagome then pulled herself from Inuyasha, forgetting about the huge dog demon above her. She went to the edge of the balcony and started screaming.

"Hoku-kun! Hoku-kun!" Kagome turned to the Demon King and he was taken back by the tears in her eyes. "You're a big dog thingie! Go get him back! Don't let my friend get hurt!"

Kagome then went to his right paw, and starts hitting it repeatedly with her fists.

"Go get Hoku-kun! Go get Hoku-kun! Why didn't you fight him?"

"Kagome! Tomare!" Inuyasha went over and grabbed kagome, holding her tightly.

"Why didn't he save him? What if that bad man hurts him?"

The Demon King turned back into his human form and slowly walked up to the two children.

'Does she cry because she cares for Hakudoushi? Or does she cry because he is her friend? Is she just being pure of heart?' Inutaisho looked down at his son, comforting Kagome.

Inuyasha glared angrily back his Father.

"You should of done something!"

"Done what? Save a boy, that may even take Kagome from you?" Inutaisho snapped.

Inuyasha was taken back but then just held Kagome tighter.

"And so what? He is her friend! And if he's her friend, he is mine! It doesn't matter if he is a son of the enemy! He honestly cares for Kagome, and even she is with him I know he would never put her in danger!" Inuyasha looked down at Kagome. "That is all that matters to me. I do not want to see Kagome cry. I do not want to see Kagome sad. Even if it's not with me…"

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, controlling her sobbing. She reached up and wraps her arms around his neck, hugging him. Knowing and is glad someone understands her. Inutaisho only watched, only to be now proud of his son. He saw himself and his late wife within the two children. Inutaisho then placed his hand son top of their heads.

"I will find Hakudoushi."

Kagome looked up at Inutaisho and nodded. Inuyasha beamed up at his Father then went to nuzzle Kagome.

"We'll find him and make sure he's ok."
