Previous chapter.......
Kagome felt the warmth emitting from Yash's body, and the memory of Inuyasha hugging her when she was a kid enveloped her.
" He reminds me so much of Inuyasha..." Kagome thought to herself, with her eyes closed. She started blushing and was about to pull herself away from Yash's grasp when she saw something glisten from Yash's neck.
Yash didn't seem to notice Kagome, nor the other two who were approaching them. Then, Yash felt Kagome's body stiffen under his arms and pulled Kagome away from him and looked at her face. He saw her eyes widen, so he cocked his head to the side.
" Kagome!" Sango yelled out from behind. Yash turned questioningly to Sango, who was stomping towards them with Miroku behind, with a horrified expression. Yash was about to ask them what's up when he heard Kagome mumble something.
" What?" Yash asked. Kagome now had her eyes closed, mumbling something to herself. Yash shook her shoulders, " Kagome, what's wrong?"
Yash saw Kagome open her eyes only to reveal what she held in her eyes. It was full of sadness, joy and anger at the same time which really confused Yash. He was about to ask again when his dog ears picked up something that Miroku told Sango.
" Please, Sango. Just let Inuyasha tell Kagome the truth." Yash's eyes widened. Sango knew?!
" Inuyasha...." Kagome whispered, making Yash turned his head back at Kagome. Kagome suddenly reached out in front of him, startling him a bit. Then he felt something move underneath his shirt as Kagome took out something.
Kagome opened her fist to reveal to Yash what she was holding. Yash's eyes suddenly widened...." Kagome...its not. I mean..."
"Inu-Inuyasha?" Kagome murmured to herself, and in her hand, she held out a gold necklace that has a gold plait angel wings, and on it is enscripted: Inuyasha and Kagome forever.
A Promise is a promise
Chapter 14: Torned emotions
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha with big, wide eyes. She couldn't believe it. That necklace that she now holds in her hand certainly belongs to the Inuyasha that she knows about.
" Kagome....let me explain," Inuyasha started but was startled when Kagome suddenly bursted in tears.
She got up, slowly backing away from Inuyasha who also started to get up. Tears were streaming down Kagome's face but she made no attempt to wipe them away.
" I can't believe it. Inuyasha....is that really you?"
Inuyasha nodded, " Yeah Kagome. But the thing is-"
" Why did you lie to me?" Kagome suddenly bursted out, her voice shaking. She was somewhat happy that Yash really is Inuyasha, but he lied to her!
" Kagome....I didn't mean to. I swear I didn't."
Inuyasha slowly started approaching Kagome but he stopped in his tracks when Kagome also started backing up. He stopped, feeling guilty of himself.
" Listen to me for a sec," Kagome suddenly started running but was caught by Inuyasha. He held on to her wrist to stop her, then he twirled her around, forcing her to face him.
He heard Sango mumbling something about killing Miroku from behind but ignored it. Miroku was holding on to Sango, stopping her from stomping towards the two bestfriends and punching Inuyasha.
" Sango, please calm down. Leave them alone for now!" Inuyasha heard Miroku say, but was responded by an irate Sango.
" I have to tell Kagome.." Sango hissed.
" Can' t you see they're talking about it now?! Sango-chan, if you don't stop...I'm gonna kiss you!" warned Miroku.
Sango glared at him, " I'd like to see you try, now let me go.. I have to --" Inuyasha sighed in relief..thanking Miroku for what he did.
Inuyasha now turned to Kagome, who was looking down at the ground with tears in her eyes. He approached her again, this time she didn't move. He let go of her wrist and was about to touch her face when it was slapped away.
She looked up at him angrily, " I wanna go home. I don't want to listen to any more of your lies Inuyasha. I've waited so long for you, ignoring the part that you haven't contacted me for like 7 years. Here I am still waiting for you. Hoping you'll come back, and you did but with a different identity!"
" Kagome...just hear me out!"
" I said I wanna go home. I know I'm somewhat being unfair because I'm not giving you a chance to explain, but what do you expect me to do huh?"
Inuyasha looked away guiltily. Right now, he just wants to have her in his arms but he knows that would just make her even more mad.
He nodded, " Alright, I'll take you home. But on one condition, you'll hear me out, with my explanations after you cooled down."
Instead of responding, Kagome started to head off towards Inuyasha's car. She opened the passenger door and got in. Inuyasha sighed, following after her.
Kagome opened the door to her bedroom. She walked inside, slowly looking at her surroundings. The door slammed behind her along with her frail figure slumping on the floor.
The events that happened a while ago still is a shock to her. Her bestfriend, Inuyasha, really is back. The thing is......he lied about himself.
The trip back home was the most uncomfortable 50 minute ride both teenagers ever had. Kagome didn't utter a single word, looking out the car window. In the other hand, Inuyasha was fighting the desire to talk to Kagome. He needs to give her space. He tried to focus more on the road and less about Kagome.
Kagome's purse dropped on the floor as she buried her tear-stricken face in her hands. Her body all curled up as she leaned against her bedroom door.
Darkness now enveloped her room as the sun finally settled down, goign back to its own cradle. The moonlight left to provide enough light for Kagome to see a bit clear.
Inuyasha........why do this to me? Kagome asked herself. She now blamed herself for not listening to Inuyasha's explanation, that could have made things easier for her.
She looked up and wiped her tears away. Kagome took a deep breath and stood up, turning on the lights, illuminating the whole room with its brightness.
Kagome walked towards her bed and laid down. Kicking off her shoes, she threw the blanket over her tired body. Grabbing the pillow from her side, she covered her whole face with it, droning out her hearing.
About an hour passed, she was still wide awake but she didn't hear her mother knock in the door, also opening and coming in.
Mrs. Higurashi approached her daughter. When she saw her in the verge of tears as she came in the door, she knew something went wrong. She heard the roaring of engine outside, so she opened the door and only caught a glimpse of Inuyasha's car.
She sat beside her bed and lightly tapped Kagome from her back. Kagome sat up straight, finding her mother sitting there with a worried look.
" What happened honey?"
" Mom, Inuyasha's back."
"...I know." Kagome looked at her mother with a surprised look. " Yash..that young man is Inuyasha."
" Why didn't you tell me anything mom? Are you and Inuyasha in this thing together?"
" Kagome dear," Mrs. Higurashi started explaining. She told her about how they talked on the phone and Inuyasha saying that he's coming back to Tokyo. " But honey, I don't really know his reason to why he would trick you. You have to ask him about that."
Mrs. Higurashi started to leave. She was at the door when Kagome spoke up. " Mom...thanks for listening and explaining."
She only nodded then closed the door behind her, not noticing Souta who snucked past her, into Kagome's bedroom. Sneaky little Souta.
Kagome stood up from her bed and went towards the window. She leaned against it and looked outside. It was way too dark outside for her to see anything at all.
She shivered from the breeze that swept by her. She turned to close the window, shutting it securely. Kagome hugged herself, providing warmth for her cold body. She spun around only to be startled by her little brother's face.
" Souta! What the heck are you doing in my room?! You startled me!"
" Chill sis, just wanna remind you that you're going to pick me up tomorrow after school ok?"
" Alright, alright," Kagome smiled weakly. Patting her little brother on the head, she went on back to her bed.
Souta was about to leave, gripping the doorknob on those dainty hands of his when he stopped to look at her. Kagome raised her eyebrows, " What is it now?"
" Dinner's in the microwave. Heat it up when you're hungry. Sango-chan called in a while ago, told her you were asleep. She told me to tell you that she's coming over tomorrow, before school. And oh yeah, I wanna see Inuyasha."
Kagome's eyes widened, " How'd you know he's back?" She remembered the times where she has told Souta stories about her and Inuyasha. Souta was only 5 years old that he doesn't remember anything about Inuyasha at all.
But yet, Souta has grown to admire Inuyasha in a brotherly-like way. The stories that Kagome has shared with him was all too precious and he dreamed to someday see Inuyasha once again.
" I have my resources." Souta grinned like a cheshire cat. " Anyways, that's not the point. The point is, try to listen to Inuyasha's explanations first before you start reacting and getting all mad at him. Give him the chance to explain himself before you go judging. Shut up and just listen to him. Later sis," Souta waved, shutting the door behind him.
Kagome stared at the closed door with her mouth slightly open. Just now, it looked as if Souta was the older brother advicing and lecturing his little sister.
But he's right, I have to give Inuyasha a chance to explain himself. But.........
Unknown to her, there was a little boy that had a big, wide grin plastered on his face outside her bedroom door. Step one is done. Helping out for some friends of his sister is a piece of cake.
2 hours earlier
Miroku looked out in the horizon, watching as the sun disappears behind the mountains of clouds. He turned to Sango who was sitting beside him, in the passenger seat of his car, still stunned.
He cackled to himself lightly, remembering his earlier actions. In able to shut Sango up, he did the only thing that could come up in his mind. He kissed her.
Sango was too stunned to even react to it. Miroku dragged her back in the car, her not uttering a single word. Miroku took that as his opportunity to tell her about everything. That Inuyasha does not intend to hurt Kagome.
" Hey, Sango, can you at least say something. You've been quiet for exactly about 17 minutes now," said Miroku while glancing down at his wrist watch. " If you don't, I'll kiss you again."
That seemed to snap Sango back to reality. A blush crept up on her face but she ignored it. Instead, she glared evilly at Miroku, " Don't you ever do that again, or else..."
Miroku grinned in response, " Well, I have to stop you from bothering those two." His voice suddenly changed into a serious tone, " Besides, I think Kagome already knows about it. I don't know how, but she does. By the looks of it, she's probably mad at him for lying."
" Your friend deserves it!" Sango bursted. " If he really cares about Kagome, then why would he trick her?"
" I told you, something important is staked into this. With his stepbrother involved in it all."
" I'm sure Inuyasha would need my help in getting his bestfriend back. And Sango, if you don't mind, I would like you to help. I'm sure Inuyasha would appreciate it."
" Whatever. Its his fault and he should be the one solv---" Sango's words were cutted off at the sudden ringing of Miroku's cellphone.
Turning over his jacket, he took out the cellphone beneath its fold. He flipped it open and turning the receiver near his mouth.
" Hello?"
" Miroku....its me," he heard someone say on the other line in a grim tone.
" ....Inuyasha. So, what happened?"
" She found my necklace, figured out its me. Miroku, she's pissed off at me," Inuyasha said on the other line.
Miroku leaned his forehead agains the steering wheel. " Well, did you explain everything to her?"
" She won't even listen to a single word I say. I tried explaining, but......SHIT!" Miroku heard him cuss from the other line along with the beeping of cars. " You watch the road you dumbass!"
" Inuyasha, calm down," Miroku said in a soothing voice. He glanced at Sango with a troubled look, her face etched with worry, hearing Inuyasha yell from the other line.
" Tell him to be careful. He might get into an accident." Sango said, cocking her head to the side.
" Inuyasha, listen to me."
" Damn it. Damn it. Damn it!!"
" Inuyasha! I said calm down. You can still work things out with her."
" I don't think she'll listen to me again. I screwed up big time!"
" Will you listened to me first?" he said angrily. " Now, we'll think of a plan. To get you to apologize to her. We have school tomorrow, she'll be there, you'll be there. We'll work things out tomorrow ok?"
" Miroku....what if she won't listen to me?"
" Don't worry, she will. We have her other bestfriend to help," Miroku looked at Sango pleadingly while she just nodded her head.
" Sango? She'll help us? I thought she was mad at me and wanted to beat the living daylights out of me?"
" She's with me right now...and she'll help us, don't worry about anything. I have a plan for tomorrow. Just get yourself together and get some sleep ok?"
" Alright, thanks man. I owe you"
" No problem," Miroku placed his cellphone back on his jacket, gripping the steering wheel.
" What's your plan?" Sango suddenly asked with her eyebrows raised.
" Uhhhhh......"
" You don't have one do you?"
" Nope."
Sango shook her head, " Well, better start thinkin of one now."
" You're really gonna help?"
She sighed, " Yeah, I somewhat think that he really cares for her. But this is gonna be hard......."
