Sorry about the oober long delay, I have been so booked up with school, clubs, fencing and all that junk. I also want ya'll to check out my new story "The Most Dangerous Game" because I will be spending a lot of time on it and I think it's really good but I haven't gotten to far on it yet.

Question:

What did Inuyasha promise Kikyo?

Answer:

Nothing! In book 12 Inuyasha was talking to Kaede and said he would go to hell with her and would protect her forever but never promised anything.

On with the show!

She peered over the boulder, glancing left and right before she swam off. She didn't want to be caught, or followed. With a flick of her tail she zipped off again, leaving only bubbles.

"Inuyasha?" she called, but not to loudly. If he was there she knew he would hear her. The full moon's light shown into the dark night's water. Not a fish stirred or kelp wavered in the unnaturally still water. Her mermaid magic was controlling it, she held her breath waiting for a reply so the ocean did the same.

She left her head drop sadly and tears stream down her face. A week in the ocean and every night she had come out looking for him, but to no avail. Was Inuyasha forever gone from her?

"Kagome. . . . ." Her head shot up and she looked frantically around. "W-where are you?" she whispered. She looked around, but only black water came into her sight. She sniffed at the salty water, but no hanyou scent came in her contact.

"Kagome. . . . ." "Where are you?" she asked again, hoping, praying for a reply. She sniffed again, but this time not looking for a scent, but to hold back the stab at her heart. Had he truely left her? Is the voice coming in her head or does she so desperately want to her it that it rings out in her ears?

"I don't know where I am. . . . .everythings so dark. . . . ."

"Inuyasha?" she asked again, this time a little louder. Her voice wavered from the strain from her heart ache. "Is that really you?" she said softly. His voice sounded, hurt, wounded. "Where are you, are you ok?" she called out. Everything was quiet and still, no responce came to her ears. "Inuyasha please answer me!" The first part was soft, and whispered but she ended strong. With no response she shouted again.

"Answer me!"

"Everythings so dark. . . . ." She held back another sob. "That doesn't help me very much," she said calmly, trying to refrain from breaking out.

"Kagome. . . . . .where are you?" She looked around, even turned in a circle. Looking, searching. "I'm right here!"

"That doesn't help me very much. . . . . ." Another tear rolled down her cheek. "OH Inuyasha, where are you!"

She sucked in a deep breath and let out a blood curling scream when she felt something stab her mid back. Her ind screamed in a thousand pains as she fell and hit the sandy bottom. "Uhhh. . . ." she moaned weakly. Her hand shakily came up to her back and she felt a shark metal spear enlodged in her spine. She pulled her hand back to find it a dark crimson color.

"W-what, w-who?" she said weakily before her world went completely black.

"Kagome. . . . . ."

He knew he was running out of time, Kagome's spell wouldn't hold for much longer.

His breath hitched in his throat. The time had come. . . . . This had happened before and he knew how it would happen again. His webbed hands turned back into claws and his lensed eyes soon turned back to normal, leaving his vision a blur. The last thing to go was the gills, the one thing that kept him alive, the one thing that wouldn't keep him alive any longer.

He coughed softly, knowing that it was best not to fight it, but coughed on instinct anyway. His lungs filled with the fatal salty water that he feared the most.

Yes he feared it, the great "Lord Inuyasha" was afraid. Though not for the reason most would think. He did not fear for his life, he was not afraid of death. But for the one thing he cared the most about.

"Kagome. . . . . ."

Who would protect Kagome? If he left that would put Kagome in danger, the one thing that he would die a million deaths to keep safe. They've gone through too much to die like this. They fought tons of a deadly demons, been through poisonous vapors, hiked unclimbable mountains, faced Naraku, but he would die the helpless death of drowning.

He could feel the water level rising in his lungs till he thought they might burst. He knew it would be pointless to try to swim to the surface like before, he was miles under the sea, swimming to the top would be impossible.

He felt something brush against his side, but his vision was to blurred to see what it was.

He knew his last moments were finally here. With one last sigh of defeat his eyes shut and his world went dark.

"I'm sorry. . . . . .Kagome kanojo."

That's all I have for now, sorry but I didn't have time to think of a question. I'm listening to sad music so the chapter was kinda depressing (sorry to those who may have cried).

Pleeease check out my new story "The Most Dangerous Game" because I think it's going to be the best thing I've ever written. Honestly. Right now there's only one chappie, but the ones to come will be great. It's not a cross over with the story "The Most Dangerous Game" it just uses the plot.

Most of you have read the story in school (like I did) where the man is abandoned on the island where a hunter likes to hunt game that aren't animals. . . . . . Can you say murder or insane? Either way it's gonna be great!

READ AND REVIEW!
