Promise Me
Chapter : 14
Okay for the short chapter last time and the time it took me to update it, this chapter will be pretty long. I am sorry for not updating and all. Thanks for waiting for me and not getting upset... no wait you probably are upset lol. Anyway onto the chapter.
Kagome
She sat there, not really knowing what to do... something took hold of her and she soon found herself kissing him back. When he slowly pulled away, she knew she didn't want him to leave her.
"Please... I'm sorry..."
"Shh... It's okay... Tell me, why did you want me to stay away from you?"
Her heart skipped a few beats and she looked down into her lap, she couldn't tell him the truth. She was still determined to keep him away from Naraku, but by not sending him away.
"I... I don't know."
She looked back into his eyes and there she saw hurt, and to see that it hurt her. She knew she was hurting him by lieing, but it was the only way to protect him from Naraku.
She slowly stood and watched as he too stood and the two walked back to the car. She smiled as Sango got out and into the back seat.
Sango, she didn't know where she would be without that girl, or Miroku and Inuyasha. Those three had befriended her even when they were putting themselves in danger. Naraku was not a man to be messed with, and she knew that by the many secrets she held deep inside her.
Soon she was back at Sango's and the three got out of the car to be greeted by Miroku, Kohaku, and Kagura. They were told Inuyasha had left for home soon after Sango and Sesshoumaru.
The group entered the house and were greeted by Sango's mother. Kagome smiled at her and then walked over to a seat at the table and looked around as everyone else got into their seats.
Sesshoumaru was even invited for supper and was set next to herself. She smiled up at him and reached out and started to serve herself from the platters and plates of food as everyone else did the same.
Soon supper was over and Sesshoumaru was leaving back to his house, the day had gone by a little to fast for Kagome but she didn't mind that at all. Sesshoumaru was back in her life and she had Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha there for her, she was sure nothing could get her down anymore. Not even Naraku.
Sesshoumaru
Sesshoumaru looked around as the group sat in the backyard, he was leaving in a few minutes and would not see Kagome for a few days due to a business trip he would be taking. But by the time he got back she would be out of school and on her summer holidays and they would do a lot together along with her friends.
He wasn't to sure about the one called Inuyasha but the girl and boy weren't that bad of people. Then there was Kouga, he would be on his case for days and days.
But he would not say a thing to him, he would just go on and live the life he always lived. Except this time he found Kagome and things would, he hated to say this, but be slightly different. Of course it would be a good change.
It was time he took his leave and as he rose Kagome stood with him, he smiled down at her and she walked him to his car. There the two stood in a quiet setting until he finally spoke.
"I'll be gone for a few days, but as Sango was saying by the time I get back you will be out on summer holidays. Will you not?" He watched as she nodded and continued, "I was wondering if you guys would like to go out for a day on the beach when I get back from my trip?"
Her eyes lit up and he smiled, "I will see you when I get back then?"
"We'll really go to the beach?" she asked him. He chuckled and kissed her cheek.
"Yes, Kagome. But I must be off, I will see you when I get back."
She nodded and surprised him when she stood on her tip-toes and kissed him, he smiled against her kiss and kissed her back. But as much as he hated to pull away he had to.
"Good-bye for now Kagome."
"Yeah, but we will see each other when you get back. Good luck on your trip, Sesshoumaru." He nodded and gave her one of his rare smiles and watched as she smiled back.
He walked over to the other side of his car and stared at her over the top for a minute, before getting in and starting it up, then speeding off back to his house.
Kagome
Kagome was walking back to the house when Sango's mom called her from the door, telling her she had a phone call and that it was from Naraku. Her heart stopped beating for an instant and she stopped mid stride, she regained herself and called back to the woman telling her she would be right in.
She slowed her steps as much as she could but it seemed all to fast by the time she reached the phone in the living room and picked it up.
"Hi, Naraku."
"It has been a while, Kagome. Listen to me Kagome, go back to the house, look for an envelope with the name Onigumo on it. When you find it I want you to go to the airport and get on the plane headed for Calgary. There I will pick you up, do you understand Kagome?"
Kagome was quiet, not sure she wanted to do what he asked of her. She wanted to just hang up and flee from it all but in the end she answered him.
"Yes, Naraku."
"That's a good girl, you will get on the plane which is in two days."
She listened and wrote down everything in which she would need to get the ticket and where she would find the envelope. When that was done she hung up the phone and was deathly pale. She stood and walked over to the room and started to pack all of her stuff once again.
"Kagome, what are you doing?"
Kagome looked back behind her and then got back to her packing, "I have to go to Calgary."
"But why?" asked Sango.
"Naraku wants me to. I have to leave in two days, so I won't be here when Sesshoumaru gets back. I don't think I will even see him ever again." She said as tears came to her eyes.
Sango ran over to her and kneeled before her, "why do you have to go? Is it something dangerous?"
Kagome wiped the tears from her eyes and shook her head, she knew it was a lie. Everything to do with Narku was a lie and dangerous, but she didn't want to worry Sango.
"Will we see you again?"
"Yeah, I think I'm just going there for a week or so." She lied once again.
"Then why did you say that you wouldn't see Sesshoumaru again?"
"I was being dramatic... I guess."
"Kagome! You're not coming back are you?" Sango stared into her eyes.
Kagome couldn't take it, she looked away and stood with her bag in her hand. She walked passed the girl and out of the house and made her way down the street. The girl was following her and asking her so many questions that it made her head hurt and sad to think about the answers.
She didn't wanna leave them behind, but Naraku had said that they had to leave as soon as possible. Something was wrong, she knew but she didn't know why Naraku was running from the place he had lived for so many years.
She was sick of the girl's questions and stopped, she turned to look into the girl's eyes. They seemed to be on fire, she knew Sango was mad at her. But what she didn't expect was the slap that sounded in the quiet evening air.
Her hand came up to her stinging cheek as she stared at the girl surprised.
"Enough of this Kagome! Tell me what the hell is going on!" yelled Sango.
Kagome stood there for a few minutes before she nodded and motioned for the girl to follow her. The two made their way to Naraku's house. Unlocking the door, Kagome walked into the house, Sango right behind her. They walked into the living room and there Kagome silently told Sango everything Naraku had told her.
Sango
Sango stared in horror at Kagome as she finished her story. She couldn't let her friend leave to go to her doomed fate, she had to help her escape from that. She stood and grabbed Kagome's hand, she walked her up to her room and shoved her into the room.
"Pack as much stuff as you can in two bags, I'll be right back." Sango left before Kagome could question her. She walked outside and there she pulled out her phone and dialed Inuyasha's number.
"Inuyasha speaking, what do ya want!"
"Inuyasha, It's Sango. I need you to take Kagome in for a few days, is that okay? Please, Inuyasha. Don't ask questions."
"I... Yeah, she can stay at my house for a few days."
"Good, I'll drop her off tonight." Was all she said before she hung up and started to dial another number.
"Sesshoumaru Taisho." Came the reply at the other end as the ringing ceased.
"Sesshoumaru! Kagome is in danger."
"How! What's wrong?"
"I can't tell you, I promised her but I need you to buy her a ticket for where ever you are." She waited in silence, she wasn't sure if he would do it. But if he loved Kagome he had to!
"Can you get her to the airport in three days?"
"Yeah, I can."
"I'll get the plane ticket tomorrow and call you in the morning as soon as I have the flight ready. Does she know she's coming to me?"
"No, I'm doing this on my own, but she's in a lot of danger if she is sent to Naraku."
"All right, I'll call you in the morning. Tell her that I'll do all I can to keep her safe."
"Yeah, I will." With that she hung up and walked back into the house. She hoped that Sesshoumaru could keep her safe like he had said.
She entered Kagome's room and looked at the girl sitting on the bed. She walked over to her and sat down beside her, the two sitting in silence for a few minutes.
"You're going to Inuyasha's for a few days. Then you will be boarding a plane to Toronto on Friday. Sesshoumaru will be picking you up."
She watched as Kagome turned around and looked at her. She knew that Kagome wouldn't agree but this was for her safety and she didn't thing that Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, or Miroku would like it if she were hurt.
"You shouldn't have done that, Sango! Why did you do something like this?" Kagome asked, anger evident in her voice.
"Because, Kagome. I am your friend, I can't let you put yourself in danger. You may think that it's okay to do it to yourself, but you have us now. Don't worry about us, we can take care of ourselves if Naraku tries anything. Now let's go."
Sango stood and took Kagome's hand and they walked out of the house, leaving behind the envelope that Kagome was suppose to find. Outside a cab waited and Sango shoved Kagome in, she got in after her and told the driver the address, he nodded and they were on there way.
Inuyasha
Inuyasha made sure that the maids had a room ready for Kagome. He had no clue as to why Sango would be sending Kagome over to him, but her voice had told him not to argue with her. So there he sat in his room waiting for Sango and Kagome to arrive.
He wasn't sure if he liked the fact that the girl he was slowly falling in love with would be in the same house as him. But it was to late to say no to Sango and even if he did he knew that the girl would get mad. He knew how she could get and he shuddered at the thought of her wrath turned on him, it was enough watching her beat the hell out of Miroku if he angered her.
"Master Inuyasha, Miss Sango has arrived."
He nodded to the butler and got off of his bed and headed down the stairs. There he saw the girls waiting by the door, Kagome had two bags in her hand as she looked around the whole house, amazement in her eyes.
"Sango, Kagome." He nodded at the girls as he motioned them to follow him. He walked up the stairs and lead them to the room that Kagome would be staying in for a few days. There he left them to talk, he knew that that was what Sango wanted as she looked into his eyes.
Walking down the stairs he entered the kitchen and looked into the fridge for something to eat. He didn't know how long the girls would be but he knew that Sango would come and talk to him before she left. He was curious to know why Kagome was to stay at his house instead of staying over at Sango's.
It was about an hour before Sango finally came to him and sat down on a chair across from him and looked at him. Her eyes seemed worried but everything else seemed to point out that there was nothing wrong at all. But being her friend for over six years meant that he could read her as much as he could read Miroku, although at times that was barely.
"Why is it..."
"I talked to her about this, and she said that I could tell you... But she wants to tell Sesshoumaru on her own."
Hearing the man's name made his blood boil, why was he involved in all of this. He had only recently come into Kagome's life. He didn't care if the man had been her only friend as a child, but he wasn't there the rest of her life. Then again, he had only now befriended Kagome recently. So did that make him no better than Sesshoumaru?
"Why does he have to be involved?" He spat at the girl sitting across from him. His eyes grew wide as he saw the look Sango was giving him and that was when he knew he had to shut up and just listen.
She explained everything to him and he knew that it was best that she did go to the bastard Sesshoumaru. He wouldn't admit it so he put up an argue just so it didn't look like he was willing to let her go to Sesshoumaru. It ended with him agreeing and Sango leaving.
Finally alone he decided to see if Kagome wanted to talk or if she wanted anything to eat at all. He entered the room only to find her asleep, his heart stopped and he watched silently from the door. He walked into the room and to her side, there he looked down on her and smiled. She was beautiful, and delicate. He leaned over and kissed her forehead before leaving the room.
There, the chapter is at an end. I once again appologize for not updating sooner. I had a massive w/b and could not do anything but sit, and think on what to write next. But alas, ideas are now flowing through my head and my muse has once again awakened lol! Hope you liked this chapter.
