Sorry for the long update, but here you go. I'll make this chapter good. And thank you everybody, for being so patient with me.

I Promise To Come Back

-Stay Away From My Man-

Kagome and Sango spent hours in the forest. Ever since they became servants the forest has been their secret hang out. They knew where everything was. But, they never got to run away and escape the hellhole cause Naraku had put up a barrier that burned their skin whenever they touched it. And no matter how hard Kagome tried she couldn't find a way to bring down the barrier.

Kagome and Sango talked for hours about different things. They played in the small waterfall they found when they were little girls. And they didn't worry about getting hungry because they ate from the fruit trees. But, their fun ended when they saw Naraku's Saimyōshō up in the sky looking for them.

The two girls ran away as far as they could. They found a small cave and hid there for a couple of hours. By sunset the Saimyōshō gave up. The two crawled out with sore achy bodies.

"Damn! I think they still mad about earlier." Kagome said.

"Uh, you think!" Sango said sarcasticly.

Kagome rolled her eyes, "Sango, shut up."

"Yeah, yeah what ever Kagome. Guess we should head back." Sango said.

"Alright lets go." Kagome sighed.

The two girls walked back towards the palace in silence. Kagome's mind began to wander about Inuyasha and her old life in the western lands. And Sango's mind began to wander about her brother Kohaku and the rest of her deceased family.

Kagome put her hand on Sango's shoulder, "Let's not go back just yet."

"Nani? Why? You had something in mind for us to do?" Sango asked.

Kagome smiled, "Yeah let's visit Lady Kaede. We haven't seen her in a while."

Sango smiled back, "Yeah, your right.Let's go."

"Okay! On your mark. Get set. Go!" Kagome said.

The two girls ran back to the village as fast as they can. They didn't even stop at all to take to take a breath. They both just loved to run so much. In no time they got to Lady Kaede's medical hut. The two girls stopped at the door panting for air. Kagome was first to knock on the little door. An old women at the age about 60 with gray hair and an eye-patch came out and smiled at them.

"Konichiwa girls, what a wonderful surprise that you two come to visit me today." Kaede said cheerfully.

Kagome gave Kaede a big hug, "Oh, I've missed you so much Lady Kaede!"

Kaede patted Kagome's head, "So have I young miko. And why are you so quiet Sango?"

"Oh, no reason." Sango said innocently and hugged Kaede. "I missed you too."

"Well I missed both of you. Please come in." Kaede motioned them inside the hut.

Kagome and Sango bowed respectfully and sat down on the little futon in the middle of the hut. Kaede poured them some tea and served little fish to them.

"Arigato Kaede-Sama!" the girls said in unison.

"It was no problem dear. Now, what made you two come visit me today?" Kaede asked.

Kagome and Sango looked at each other and shared a nervous laugh.

"Well…" Sango started.

Kaede shook her head, "Please don't tell me you were the two that caused the big commotion in the palace with Kikyou."

Kagome sweat dropped, "Umm… maybe."

Kaede gave them a stern look; "Girls… you know you two cant afford anymore trouble."

Sango started, "We know! But-"

"Please tell me it's not true that Kikyou's marrying Inuyasha!!!" Kagome interrupted with tears starting to form in her eyes.

Kaede looked down, "I'm sorry child but she has to."

"Do they really have to involve marriage to end this stupid war?!" Kagome cried.

Kaede looked at Kagome sadly, "I'm afraid so…"

Kagome pushed her food and the tea aside, "I'm sorry, but I'm no hungry right now."

Kaede and Sango felt bad for Kagome. But, they felt that the best thing to do was to leave her alone. They were afraid if they said something it might upset the girl even more. Sango and Kaede went outside and talked about different things for a little while. Then they went back in the forest to collect herbs for medicines. Kagome stayed inside the whole time sulking on the futon.

"Kagome we have to go back to the palace, its midnight already." Sango said.

"Nani? It is already." Kagome said a little disoriented.

"Fine, I guess we should get going." she hugged Kaede. "Bye Lady Kaede."

"Good bye child. Come visit again soon… and don't worry everything will be okay." She gave Kagome a tight reassuring hug.

"Bye Kaede." Said Sango.

Kaede waved at Sango, "Good bye young taijiya. And thank you for your help"

The two girls walked towards the palace in silence.

"You think we're in big trouble Kagome?" Sango asked.

"I don't care…" Kagome mumbled.

Sango didn't open her mouth after that comment. They finally got to the back of the palace. Sango threw a rock at a window. And Mirouku came running and opened the window for them.

"Finally you two are back!" he said happily.

The two girls laughed at him. He had lumps and bruises all over his face.

"Hey I took all these bumps to save your asses from Kikyou, least you can do is thank me." He said.

They both climbed in through the little window.

"We're sorry Mirouku." Kagome said smiling.

Sango nodded her head in agreement, "Yeah, we owe you one Mirouku."

A perverted grin grew on Mirouku's face, "Well I know a way you can pay me back Sango."

Sango began to blush then she punched Mirouku in the gut, "You wish hentai!"

Kagome laughed and watched the couple argue and fight. Then she started to have a depressing and lonely feeling around her heart. Kagome felt as if she was incomplete. She watched the two in envy. But, she couldn't take it anymore so she quietly walked up to her room.

Kagome sighed, "I wonder what he's like now."

She quietly walked into her room and closed the door. She assumed her roommate Eri was already sound asleep.

"Your back pretty late Kagome Higurahsi." Said a cold familiar voice.

Kagome quickly turned around and was shocked to see a girl sitting on her top bunk, "Kikyou!"

Kikyou jumped down from the top bunk, "Surprised?"

"Where's Eri?" Kagome asked.

Kikyou gave Kagome a menacing smile, "You needn't worry bout her. You should be more worried bout yourself Kagome-Chan."

Kagome raised an eyebrow at her, "What do you mean?"

Kikyou opened a little blue notebook and Kagome's eyes widened in shock, "You really shouldn't leave important stuff like this in you pillowcase."

"Give it back Kikyou!" Kagome said angrily.

"Oh, seems like I hit a nerve. Now I see why you freaked when you heard the name Inuyasha." Kikyou said happily.

Kagome reached to grab the notebook.

Kikyou moved away, "Your good at writing songs."

"Kikyou I'm not playing with you! Give it back!" Kagome yelled getting more annoyed.

Kikyou laughed "Aww, why not Kagome-Chan? Cause all of your personal feelings and thoughts are in my possession right now"

Kagome growled and watched for Kikyou's next move.

Kikyou started singing the song "Dearest" that was in Kagome's notebook in a mocking voice, "It would be nice if we could put away and throw out

Everything except what really mattered, but

Reality is just cruel.

In such times,

I see you laughing

Whenever I close my eyes.

Until the day I reach eternal sleep,

That smiling face will

Have to stay with me without fail.

People are all sad, so

They go and forget, but-"

Kagome punched Kikyou in the face, but not as hard as she really wanted to. She just wanted to show Kikyou that she wouldn't be pushed around anymore.

"YOU BITCH!!!" Kikyou screamed.

Kikyou put the notebook close to Kagome's face, and it burst into flames.

Kikyou smiled as if she had won, "That's what I think of your fucking notebook. And Kagome, STAY AWAY FROM MY MAN!!!"

At that point Kagome lost control. She kicked Kikyou in the shin as hard as she could. And when Kikyou dropped to her knees, Kagome shoved Kikyou to the ground. Kikyou was trying to kick Kagome back. But, Kagome got on top of Kikyou and started punching her left and right.

Eri walked into the room and was terrified of the scene she saw. Eri ran out of the room to get some help. Eri came back five minutes later with Ayumi, Yuka, Yura, and Sango. Kagome was still punching Kikyou. And Kikyou was trying to strangle Kagome.

Sango smiled and started cheering Kagome in her head, "Do we have to stop them?"

"Yeah, if we don't Kikyou will tell Onigumo." Yura said.

Eri added, "And then Onigumo will execute Kagome."

Ayumi sighed, "Okay lets end this ridiculous fight."

Sango walked behind Kagome and started pulling her back, "Umm… little help Yura!"

Soon all four girls pulled Kagome off Kikyou and started holding her back. Kagome was still trying to hit Kikyou.

Kikyou got up and started to limp out of the room, "You're going to pay for that with your life."

Kagome smiled back at Kikyou and mouthed the words, "Stay away from my man."
