I Promise To Come Back

-The Plan-

Two days had passed since the confrontation. Nobody had seen Kagome ever since then. Everybody who cared for Kagome was worried as to why she disappeared, something had to be wrong with her. They just had to be patient until the stupid inu hanyou snapped out of the spell that had been cast on him.

It was nighttime. There was silence in the air except for the crackling from a near by fire. Sango had been depressed and angry ever since her best friend's disappearance; and it seemed that while Kagome was gone her and the perverted monk had gotten closer. There was a sudden new attraction that she did not want to admit.

"Kaede-Sama…"

"Eh?" replied the old priestess half asleep.

"Are you sure?" asked Sango.

"Sure 'bout what my child?"

"That if Kagome can't control her new powers that she might die?"

Kaede sighed, "It's a theory but with Kagome anything is possible."

"By what you told me… Do you think she'll turn into a dark priestess?"

"I don't think so. She may be very angry now but she has a pure soul."

"Sango-San, Kaede-Sama it is late and I think it's time you all went to bed." Mirouku said.

"But-"

"But nothing Sango dear. I don't think Kagome is in any danger and I'm sure she would not want you to lose sleep over her." He replied.

Sango smiled "For once I think you're right."

Mirouku helped her up and there was a squeal and a loud slap. When Kaede turned around she saw the monk on the floor with a red handprint on his cheek. She shook her head at his antics.

"Damn letch!" Sango spat and left in a huff.

"Good night Mirouku-San…" mumbled Kaede as she shuffled off to her hut leaving the monk all by himself to talk about his supposedly 'cursed hand given to him by the evil demon Naraku.'

-With Inuyasha-

He had locked himself in his room racking his brains trying to understand what happened two days ago but he miserably failed. He knew something was wrong but he did not know what. 'Why do I feel so guilty when I think about Kagome? I didn't do anything, right? I only love Kikyou…Do I? I can't even remember why I love her. She's cruel and rude to my friends. Wait are they even my friends? I can't remember…' he thought.

"DAMN IT!" he yelled kicking over random things in his room.

"Inuyasha!" called Kikyou from the other side of door.

She got a snort from him as a reply to show her that he was listening.

"Please have some tea with me." She said more in a demanding way instead of a question.

"NO!" Inuyasha yelled causing her to jump away from the door.

'I don't know why but something is telling me that there is something wrong with that tea. Poison maybe? I just can't trust anybody here except Sesshoumaru and Koga… Koga? Wait don't I hate him? But why do I hate him? We've been fighting over something since we were very little. What was it we were fighting for? Food? Territory? Women?' Inuyasha thought deeply slowly starting to regain his memories.

"It was over a girl!" he cried.

"But over who? Hmm…" Inuyasha scratched his head and ears.

'Somebody used to pet me like this when I was little… Who was it? My mom? Nah, we couldn't possibly fight like that over my mom. Then who else could it be? Maybe, it was Kagome since she was the only girl I was close with back then… I think?'

"I think it was Kagome… I think I was in love with Kagome!" Inuyasha cried in surprise.

'I have to find Sesshoumaru! No… I have to find Kagome!' he thought and kicked open the door which slammed into Kikyou causing her to spill the entire tea love potion on herself. She cried in pain and he looked at her; she smiled hopefully and he just turned around and ran the other direction looking for any familiar faces.

"No!" she cried because she knew that the potion was wearing off.

'Kagome must die! I don't care if it takes the whole Eastern Land Army to take her down! She must die!' Kikyou thought as she got to her feet and started her way to Naraku and Onigumo.

-In The Morning With Kagome-

Kagome sat at the edge of the eastern lands near the very powerful barrier that kept her there. She had made many attempts in the past 48 hours to bring it down, but she was not strong enough to do it alone. She had many blisters and burns on her hands from the barrier.

"We'll never escape this way…" she said to herself.

"The only way to help everybody escape is by ending this war once and for all…" said Sesshoumaru.

Kagome whipped around startled that she did not sense his presence earlier "What are you doing here?"

"To find you." He replied.

"To find me?" she asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yes… You may not remember now but when you were younger I was very fond of you."

"Oh really?" she asked.

"Not in the same way Inuyasha cares for you." He added quickly.

Kagome smiled "I get it. You loved me like a sister."

Sesshoumaru nodded "Yes. If you want to put it that way."

Kagome gave him a hug and there was a squeal from the bushes.

"Ooooooooooooooooooh Fluffy-Sama!" Rin cried.

Kagome pulled away and smiled at the little girl. 'She reminds me of myself when I was younger.'

"Thish Kagome lady ish sho pwetty!" Rin said while spinning in circles.

"Who is this little child Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked curiously.

"This is human child goes by the name of Rin." He said emotionless.

"Shukubo!" cried Rin as she tackle hugged Kagome.

"Shukubo? Is this Inuyasha's daughter or is she yours?" Kagome asked.

"Rin's mommy and daddy were killed by bandits." Rin said sadly.

"Some of Koga's wolves attacked her so I brought her back to life with the Tenseiga." Sesshoumaru said calmly.

"Tenseiga?"

Sesshoumaru pulled out one of his swords and Kagome stared at the blade in fascination "This is the Tenseiga. The sword my father left for me."

"This is a demon sword isn't it?"

"Hai. Made from his Inugami Daiyokai fang."

"But it can't kill!" Rin added.

Kagome raised her eyebrow "It cant?"

"Iie. Tenseiga can only bring back the dead. Only the Tessaiga can kill a hundred demons with one swing." Sesshoumaru said.

"So who is the owner of the Tessaiga?" Kagome asked.

"Inuyasha…" Sesshoumaru said coldly with a hint of jealousy.

Kagome's eyes widened "He can handle that kind of power?" she asked with her hands on her hips.

"Well our father thought he was…" he said.

Rin yawned loudly "Nya! I'm bored! I'mma find Jaken and play with him k."

Kagome wrinkled her nose 'That nasty ugly little toad thingy is still alive?'

Sesshoumaru turned his attention back to Kagome now that Rin was gone "Imouto-San…"

Kagome was a little taken back by his words "K- Kore wa nan desu ka? (what is it?)"

"Do you want to end this war once and for all?" he asked.

"You already know the answer to that." She said with a smirk of determination.

"Even if it cost you your life?" he asked more seriously.

"Absolutely!" She said smiling brightly "I'll do what ever it takes."

"Well we got a lot of training to do now don't we? Kikyou's ball will be coming up soon." Sesshoumaru said holding out his hand.

"Oh what a perfect time for a rebellion." Kagome laughed and took his hand.
