Promise Me

Chapter : 13

I know I have been really really slow on getting out the chapters to Promise Me, Time Heals All, and Prophecy of the Miko and Hanyou Child. But a lot has been happening lately and a little to fast, one of my closest childhood friends passed away and I haven't been able to think straight. Then I told my best friend I like him and he freaked on me at first and now we spend like everyday together, which has taken up most of my time. But I am here once again, and I give you chapter 13 of Promise me. I will have Time Heals All and Prophecy of the Miko and Hanyou Child up as soon as I get the chance. But it seems that life has finally grabbed me and taken me away from this for the time being, I assure you though that I have not abandoned my fanfics and never will. I will get them finished.

Anyway enough about this and onto to the next chapter...

Kagome

Kagome sat under a big tree in Sango's back yard, she hadn't even been there by herself for long when Sango and Miroku approached and sat down beside her. She closed her eyes and wished for nothing more than to be alone at that moment, nothing more than to be that child back in the care of social services with the only person she had thought she trusted.

But she couldn't let him get involved, she had already endangerd Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha by letting them befriend her. She couldn't do that to Sesshoumaru, she couldn't let him back into her life until she was out of Naraku's grasp, and she wasn't sure when that would be.

She couldn't let him get to her... She would just have to stay away from Sesshoumaru until the day she was finally out of Naraku's care... and even then she wasn't sure he would be safe from the man.

She wasn't even sure she would be safe from him once she was able to finally go. She should have never let the three befriend her, she should have kept them as far away from her as possible. Like she had with everyone else all her life, it was too late for that now though. They would never leave her side and would always be there when she needed them, and for that she was grateful.

She looked at the three around her and slowly stood up, "I'm going for a walk."

"I'll come with you!"

"No, just stay here Sango, I need some time alone." With that she walked from the backyard to the front and slowly away from the house. She needed some time along to think about everything that had just happened in the few months.

Why had she been searching for him? When she knew full well she would have stayed away from him or got him to stay away from her.

"This Kagome won't forget about you. I will be waiting for the day when we meet again," she whispered to herself as she walked on down the street.

'But I did forget... I had thought he was someone made up by my imagination. Someone I had made up to protect me from all the suffering I am going through...' she thought.

Sesshoumaru

He drove on as he was thinking of what Kagome had said, had she really wanted him to leave her alone? But why? Was searching for her all these years, and finding her at last going to end like this?

He made up his mind and turned his car around and headed back for her, he had lost her once, and he would be damned if he lost her again.

Sango

Sango sat on the steps with Miroku, Inuyasha, Kohaku, and the exchange student Kagura. She was waiting for Kagome to come back and was a little worried, it had already been an hour.

She got up and looked at the four and walked past them into the house, she would just go and do her homework to get her mind off of it. It wasn't as if she wasn't worried after all, she just didn't want to bother Kagome when it was clear that she needed time alone.

She walked into her room and sat down at the small desk and got out her homework from her bag and started to do it. But after fifteen minutes of all the answers being wrong, she shut the book and walked over to her bed and flopped down onto it.

She closed her eyes and soon drifted off to sleep.

Kagome

She had walked for about an hour and into a neighborhood she hadn't even noticed, it was different but at the same time seemed friendly. She heard laughing and looked over to a small park with a child, his mom, dad and a dog. The child and dog were running around the field, while the mother and father laughed.

She sighed and walked over to a bench and sat down, she smiled as the dog jumped up on the boy and licked his face. She lifted the sleeve of her hoodie and looked down at the many scars on her arm. She wanted nothing more that to be away from Naraku's clutches and someplace safe.

But that would never happen, she sighed and let the sleeve fall back into place, she looked up into the morning sky and wondered if she would ever lead a normal life.

Sesshoumaru

Sesshoumaru drove down the streets with the girl Sango at his side, they had told him she had left hours ago and hadn't returned, and the idiot girl was asleep when she should have been out looking for her.

"She told you she didn't want you around her anymore..." he looked over to the girl and then back to the road. He knew what Kagome had said, but he couldn't live a day longer if he knew he let her walk out of his life a second time.

He didn't answer her, he wasn't sure if the girl was expecting an answer, but he wouldn't give one anyway.

"There she is!" Sesshoumaru looked over to his left and there sitting on a bench was Kagome. He parked his car and looked over to the girl beside him.

"This Sesshoumaru would like some time alone with her." He watched as the girl nodded, and he turned off the car and unbuckled his seat belt.

He got out of the car and slowly made his way toward the girl on the bench, soon he was right behind her and he looked down at her raven black hair.

"May I sit with you?" She looked up at him and quickly stood.

"Please Kagome, just let me sit with you." He watched as she slowly sat and watched him, he walked around the bench and took his seat beside her.

The two sat quietly for what seemed an eternity, until finally he had to say something. "Kagome, why... why is it you never wanna see me again?"

He watched her from the corner of his eye, she fiddled with her sleeve and then looked at him.

"It's not that I don't want you to leave me again... I mean..."

He looked at her and took her chin between his forefinger and thumb and looked into her eyes, "tell me Kagome, did you really want me to leave you alone?"

She shook her head and a smile graced his lips, he leaned in and gently touched her lips with his. Not really kissing her yet, "Kagome, I would die if I lost you again." he whispered against her lips and finally took them in a gentle kiss.

I know I know, this is a really really short chapter, but I will have the next one up for you on Saturday, that I promise. I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
