Chapter Four: A Promise

It was finally the last day of the term and Inuyasha's truck was packed with their things for their trip to the beach. Since the beach they were going to didn't have cabins for people to use, the group decided to bring their tents and camp on the beach. Normally that was something that couldn't do. However since the beach was one of the homes of the Sacred Beast Clan and Nalika was the heir leader to them then they said that it would be fine as long as they didn't destroy the Dreseal's area.

Nalika told them that they wouldn't and the group packed their gear into Inuyasha's truck. Kagome and Inuyasha had went shopping for their supplies earlier that week and when Kikyo said that she would go with them so as to not make Kagome uncomfortable, Kagome surprised her by saying that they could get everything faster if it was just her and Inuyasha.

That surprised Kikyo. Then when they came back to the house and started to bring the bags in she noticed that when the two could go back to the car they would hold hands like they used to do when they were kids. 'Well this might be easier than we thought.' Kikyo thought as she saw her two best friends.

Finally the last bell rang and Inuyasha Kagome Kikyo and Tyzen walked to the doors where Sango and Miroku were waiting for them. Since they were taking Inuyasha's truck, they decided that Inuyasha would pick the others up for school and then drive back to Kagome's to pick up the food and the rest of their gear. But because the truck only sat two in the front, Miroku and Tyzen, both of whom Kikyo and Sango told what they were trying to do, told Inuyasha that they would sit in the back with the girls to keep everything from sliding.

Inuyasha agreed and packed up the gear that morning then went to pick up their friends for school that day. Everyone except, Nalika and Kyrian both of which were Phoenix demons and would fly there.

"You guys ready?" asked Miroku as the four walked up to them

"Yeah." said Inuyasha and they left to get the food and other things Inuyasha didn't pack that morning.

As Inuyasha drove them to the beach, Kikyo told the others about Kagome and Inuyasha's change in attitude. She told them about the two going to the store alone and then them holding hands when they came back. Miroku nodded and told them that Inuyasha had been acting different since that Monday.

"You guys think that their starting to like one another?" asked Sango

"Something is different about them." said Miroku and everyone had agreed. That Monday Inuyasha and Kagome were taking a walk near the mountain, when there was a sudden rock slide trapping both of them.

When Kikyo heard about it she was instantly worried something that she wouldn't normally be but it was the night of the new moon and she knew it was the night that Inuyasha lost his demonic powers. So she ran to Inuyasha's house just to find Sesshomaru leaving the house.

Flashback

Kikyo ran from her house when she heard about the rock slid falling and trapped two teen inside. Instantly she knew it was her sister and Inuyasha. She normally wouldn't worry but she knew Inuyasha's one weakness, the night of the lunar moon.

So she ran from her house and over to Inuyasha's to get Sesshomaru just to find his brother running out of his house. "You know don't you?" she asked

"Yes." he said "However I don't know my way around here and where they're up in the mountains the animals there will mask Inuyasha's scent.

"I know the area. It was where I lived until I met Kagome." said Kikyo running over to Tyzen's motorcycle that he had left at her house when he left with Nalika and Kyrian for a meeting. Mentally she heard her boyfriend say 'Its ready go.'

Thankfully for the half wind dragon demon she started the bike and Sesshomaru followed her to the rocky area just to hear Inuyasha make the promise they had both been waiting to hear.

"I promise Kagome. We'll get out of here and we'll give it another chance."

Flashback ends

Kikyo had known what Inuyasha had meant when he made that promise but didn't tell the others when she knew. It was Kagome and Inuyasha's place to tell the others. Just then Tyzen leaned over to Kikyo and she knew by his expression that he knew what was on her mind. Then she remembered that they were connected through a mind link since the two were mated.

"Hey you okay?" asked Tyzen

"Yeah I'm fine." she said.

"You're right you know. About the two of them."

"Does Miroku-"

"No." said Tyzen "Inuyasha aren't that far yet. As a matter of fact they're not dating yet. He just promised that they would try again."

"Oh." Kikyo should have known that she couldn't hide her thoughts form her mate. She was still thinking when Inuyasha turned onto the beach road. She then decided to leave it to the half demon and her sister to work it out. Then as Inuyasha pulled onto the beach sand the six of them started to get very excited.
