Promise Me

Chapter : 7

Who the hell did he think he was? She didn't even ask them to be her friends... how dare he call her a bitch when she didn't even ask them to befriend her. Walking on she looked up to the sky and sighed how she wished she lived a normal life. What was a normal life like anyway?

She would never know. Getting back to the real world she walked on to her house and hoped that Naraku wouldn't be home for the night again. Lately he hadn't been coming home in the evenings or nights... in fact he hadn't been home in days. She wondered why he wasn't around, thinking better of it she decided not to wonder about it.

This left her with time of her own the good thing was the bruises and cuts on her body were all gone. She walked into the house and threw her bag on the couch and walked into the kitchen and made herself a little to eat before going to her room and laying on her bed.

She didn't know what to do she couldn't leave the house just in case Naraku returned. He could return any day and if she was gone she would get the beating of her life.

She was shaken awake by Naraku and she looked up at him not even knowing she had fallen asleep. Now this was when she would get a beating she waited and waited but he just looked at her and told her to get into some of her best clothes. Doing so she got into her best pair of jeans and her black hoodie.

Heading down the stairs to see why Naraku had told her to put on her best clothes she walked into the living room and there sat a woman. She had light brown hair and blue eyes, she was pretty. Kagome then understood why Naraku wasn't coming home, he had been with this lady and for that she was grateful.

"Hi!" said the woman smiling warmly at her.

Kagome smiled back at the woman for she knew if she didn't treat this woman kindly she would get a really good beating and that she was going to try and avoid.

"You must be Kagome. Naraku has told me so much about you, he's told me how smart you are in school and how you avoid all the bad kids in your school."

Kagome nodded and looked over to Naraku who was telling her with his cold eyes to make them tea. Kagome turned around and headed to the kitchen and got to work on making the tea. She hoped that this woman knew what she was getting herself into or if the woman could change Naraku from the monster he was.

Getting two cups and the pot which held the tea she walked back into the living room and poured the two their tea. Sitting down she sat there for about fifteen minutes before Naraku told her to go to her room and finish her homework. Glad she could escape his gaze she got up and headed back to her room.

She had finished her homework long ago and decided to just take a bath and then head to bed. Hoping that Naraku would go with his new girlfriend back to her house to leave her alone for the night. Getting her clothes and a towel she took her bath and as she had planned headed to her room and went to bed.

The sun peeked from her window and she pulled the blanket over her head to try and get a little more sleep. But she knew she had to get up and get ready for school. Yawning she pulled herself out of her bed and got the same jeans and hoodie on.

Passing by Naraku's room she saw that he was in there... and with the woman. She felt bad for the woman and she wondered if the woman knew Naraku's real side. Shrugging she decided to get out of the house before Naraku woke up. Passing by the kitchen she grabbed her bag and headed for the door without anything to eat.

But before she walked out the door the woman had called her name. She stopped and slowly turned around to look into the woman's eyes. She was smiling and held out her hand, Kagome just looked at it and looked back at the woman.

"I saw that you didn't have anything to eat and that it's still quite early... there's enough money here to stop and eat some place and get yourself some lunch."

Kagome looked at the woman. No one had ever been this nice to her in her life, slowly reaching out she opened her hand and the lady gave her fifty dollars. Looking at the money she closed her hand and looked back up at the lady who was smiling. Kagome nodded and turned for the door once more.

Walking to school she stared at the money in her hand and wondered if she should stop in at the restaurant up ahead and really get something to eat. She made up her mind to go and buy herself a breakfast, she had never had a breakfast that tasted good. She could cook but not really good so her food wasn't really what she liked.

The restaurant came into view and she slowly walked towards it. She opened the door and found only a hand full of people sat in the place. It was still quite early of course so she walked up to a table and a waitress walked up to her and took her order.

Eating her food slowly she looked around the place. It was still empty but a few more people had walked in and had taken their seats to await their meal. She finished up her meal and walked to the front and paid. Picking up her bag from the floor she walked out of the restaurant.

Sango was not at her usual spot waiting for her and she felt a little bad for it. She wished she had Sango to walk with her to school. She sighed and walked on to the school and finally she walked in and found Inuyasha leaning against the lockers. He looked up and saw her and walked over to her. He handed her a paper and just walked off without saying anything to her. She watched him go and stuffed the letter into her pocket and got her books out of her locker.

Heading to her class she decided to read it later on in the day. She didn't feel like reading it at the moment and just ignored its presence in her pocket.

Two classes passed and Kagome found herself with a spare class. She would have two hours off before her next class, she had her spare and her lunch break. She looked pulled the rest of the money out of her pocket and stared down at it. In the middle was the note Inuyasha had given to her that morning. She looked around and there were only a few people in the library, she unfolded the letter and read it.

Kagome,

Meet me at the park after school... That's if you have the guts to...

Kagome just stared at the letter. After a few minutes she folded it back up and put it in her pocket. She got up from her seat and headed to her locker. She would go up to the good part of the city after all it was only fifteen minutes by the subway train. She would just go and look she had never seen it before so this was her chance.

Throwing her books into her locker she got her hoodie and walked to the office and signed out for the afternoon. She knew where the subway was she had seen it more than once. Paying for a ticket she hopped onto the train and the fifteen minute ride to middle of the city seemed short as the train soon came to a stop.

Walking out of the subway back into the light she squinted against the sun's light and looked around the place. There were people everywhere and many stores lined the side walks but she wanted to go into the malls she had heard Sango tell her about. She looked around and asked a person where the nearest mall was. She knew the woman was uneasy by the unusual tone of her voice but she didn't know where to go and the only way she was going to find her way was to ask.

Going in the direction the lady had said had wanted to enter many stores just to see the inside of them or to look at what they sold. But she had kept on her track and made it to the mall. The building was huge and she recalled a bit of her past before her mother had died.

Pushing the memories back she walked into the building. Many people were in this building there was a good chance there was more in here than outside. Scanning the place she spotted a signed which read "Food Court". At reading the sign her belly grumbled and she agreed with her belly and headed in the direction the arrow pointed.

She had almost lost herself but then picked up the scent of many different foods and followed her nose to the food court. There were many different places to buy food from. She looked at a little one in the corner and her belly grumbled even louder. The line of her lips curved up a bit and she walked towards the little pizza place in the corner.

Sesshoumaru

Sesshoumaru had been in the mall for a while with his friend Kouga. Kouga was Sesshoumaru's foster brother. A few months after his beloved Kagome had been taken to a foster home he too had gone to a foster home and for once he stayed. Kouga was the people's natural son but over the years the two had become good friends.

Although Kouga sometimes got on his nerves he put up with him due to the fact that he was his second friend to actually give him a chance. The black haired boy who was two years younger than himself always bragged about his looks and his athletic abilities and so on.

As usual Kouga had dragged him all the way to the mall to get a new bat. He had broken his last bat during the practice the two did in the park once in a while. But before going Kouga had wanted to get a bite to eat, it was amazing actually how much the boy ate you would think he would be fat. He just seemed like a bottomless pit who never got fat.

"Hey Sesshoumaru, check out that babe over there."

Sighing Sesshoumaru turned around and looked at the back of a girl standing by the pizza store. He waited to see the girl's face and see what the boy was talking about. But when she turned he all but died... it couldn't be. He had searched for her as soon as he turned eighteen and had no luck. That was over four years ago and here she was now... but was it really her?

OMG I hadn't expected to post this up so late! I apologize to all of you who waited long for this chapter! I got back from my aunt's a week ago but then we started calving and the only two calves born died on us. Then I had to make sure my dog was comfortable... she's to have pups in two months! Hehehe! But I am back and I have time to write again and I will update this a little more than I have been. Sorry for the delay!
