Ready for a new chapter people! I'll try to make this one longer. And I'm sorry for the long update it's pretty hectic on the holidays.

I Promise To Come Back

-I'm Still Waiting –

"Wakey! Wakey! Uncle Yasha!" said a cheery voice.

Inuyasha groaned and turned over on his bed. The little girl on the side of his bed jumped on top of him. He woke up and saw her on top of his stomach. She stared at him with her big bright brown eyes. They twinkled with excitement.

Inuyasha was still very disoriented, "K-Kagome?"

"No silly! Its me Rin." The little girl said giggling.

"Oh… So what's up Rin?" he asked her.

"Well Fluffy-Sama told me to wake you up." She said cheekily.

Inuyasha smirked at the nickname she gave his older brother. He actually liked having Rin around. She reminded him of Kagome. They even looked alike. But, then he remembered it has been 10 years since he last saw her, so she was probably older and more matured. That's if she was even alive. He still had nightmares on the very day that they got separated. He hoped she was okay.

So many things have changed without her by his side. Like his father being assassinated. Nobody knows who did it and how it was pulled off. But, everyone was positive Naraku and Onigumo were somehow behind it. So, Sesshoumaru became the Lord of the Western lands. Inuyasha was next in line if Sesshoumaru had died. And 2 years after his father died Izayoi died. She was poisoned. And of course everybody suspected Naraku and Onigumo.

"Nani? What the hell he needs me for?" Inuyasha asked.

"Me no know. But he says its very important." She replied sweetly.

"What ever…" he mumbled and jumped out of bed making Rin fall on her butt.

"Oops. Sorry Rin."

Rin giggled, "Oh, its okay uncle Yasha I know you would never hurt me on purpose."

Inuyasha smiled back at the girl and made his way to the library where he knew his brother would be. He opened the door and just like he predicted Sesshoumaru was in the library reading some ancient scroll. Sesshoumaru looked up at his little brother and started to explain what was going on.

"Hurry up Kagome! Do your work!!!" yelled Kikyou.

Kikyou was now 18 years old. And was daddy's little innocent princess to Onigumo. But, you can tell they were related even though they didn't look alike. They were both selfish and conniving. And she disliked Kagome the most for disrespecting her father 10 years ago. The girl just couldn't let it go. Kagome had insulted her by refusing to be her sister. So now she would make her suffer.

"Gomen Kikyou-Sama…" Kagome muttered.

"Stop your damn daydreaming baka and get to work! These floors aren't going to clean themselves!" Kikyou yelled back.

Kagome grabbed a raggedy cloth and started to scrub the floors in a circular motion.

Kikyou laughed at Kagome, "Aww, it's been ten years and your still not used to the work. How sad? You're a slave now Kagome so you better get used to it."

Kagome was ignoring Kikyou's snide comments and tried to focus on her work. She wasn't getting mad at all cause she knew it was true. She was a maid now for the eastern lands. Kikyou constantly reminded her of this and the speech was starting to get old. Kagome swore she knew the whole thing by heart. But, soon her daydream mode took over.

Kikyou quickly noticed that Kagome was ignoring her. It was starting to piss her off that Kagome would act like she was didn't care. She wanted to hear Kagome cry like the little girl she was ten years ago. But, it was harder to upset Kagome ever since she met Sango.

"Kagome!" she yelled.

Kagome didn't respond back she just stared at the floor and played with the cloth.

Kikyou slapped Kagome hard on the face.

Kagome looked up at Kikyou angrily.

Kikyou smiled back at her, "Listen when I am speaking to you."

Sango walked into the room to see what made the slapping sound. When Kikyou saw Sango she turned on her heel and walked out the room.

"Gome-Chan. What happened?" Sango asked.

"Nothing…" Kagome mumbled.

"NANI!!!" yelled Inuyasha.

"You heard me." Said Sesshoumaru.

"No chance in HELL!" Inuyasha screamed.

"You have no choice." Sesshoumaru replied.

"Says who?" Inuyasha snapped back.

"Me." Answered Sesshoumaru.

"Why don't you do it?" Inuyasha asked annoyed.

"I don't want to." Sesshoumaru said coolly.

"So why should I?" Inuyasha asked angrily.

"Cause I'm first in charge." Sesshoumaru replied back.

"Well tell them no." Inuyasha retorted.

"Too late. I already agreed."

"Why?" Inuyasha screamed.

"To bring an end to this foolish war. It's been years and we still haven't gotten anywhere." Sesshoumaru replied calmly.

"I don't care." Inuyasha pouted.

"You should." Sesshoumaru said.

"I'm still waiting." Inuyasha whispered.

Sesshoumaru sighed, "For a girl who is most likely dead."

"You don't know that!" Inuyasha snapped back.

"And what makes you think she's alive? And what makes you think she's waited for you?" Sesshoumaru asked.

Inuyasha's little doggy ears went down, "I'm not marrying Kikyou.

It was late at night. The full moon was shining. Kagome stared up at the night sky wishing she could see her love just one last time. Just to see him would be enough for her. Even if he didn't remember her. Even if he had moved on with some other girl or demon.

Kagome started to write in the little notebook Sango gave her five years ago. Sango got it for her so she could write down memories, poems, and daydreams so she would never forget Inuyasha. It was hard to get since they didn't get paid but Lady Kaede helped them. Lady Kaede was the head priestess in the eastern lands. She was Kikyou's mentor. She was very kind and wise. Lady Kaede was the only one who was nice to them in the eastern lands.

Kagome wrote a poem that just came into her head.

Did you know? I'm still waiting

For you

Did you know?

I love you

With all my heart

Did you know?

I cry for you

Every night

Did you know?

You are my life

It's true

Did you know?

I'm going to die

Without you

Did you know?

I'm still waiting

For you

Sango walked into the cramped room. Kagome quickly shut the notebook and sat on top of it. Sango smirked knowing that Kagome was trying to hide the notebook that held all of her feelings for Inuyasha. She really felt bad for her friend. She knew how she felt, loosing a loved one. But, at least she got to see Kohaku almost everyday. Unlike Kagome, who didn't even know what her love looked like now.

"You'll never let me see what's on that notebook will you?" she asked.

Kagome turned her head.

"I take that as a no." Sango replied.

Sango climbed up to Kagome's top bunk in the room, "Here you go."

Kagome looked up and saw a big bowl of white rice and noodles.

Kagome raised her eyebrow, "How did y-"

Sango cut her off, "Swiped it from the kitchens. Lucky I'm your friend or you'd be starving."

"Sango you could've been caught." Kagome said disapprovingly.

"Ah, but that's the key word. I could have been caught. But I wasn't. So enjoy the meal"

Kagome smiled back at her friend, "Arigato Sango-Sama."

Kagome started to eat gratefully.

"So… You're still waiting huh?" Sango asked.

Kagome started to choke, "Huh?"

Sango handed Kagome a glass of water, "I heard you say that earlier."

"Say what?" Kagome asked.

Sango sucked her teeth, "Don't play dumb! Are you still waiting?"

Kagome turned her head sheepishly, "Yeah…"
