Recap of Last Chapter:
“I’ll be back before sunset Amé.” He told her softly in her ear. He then pulled away from the hug and jumped out the window that he was staring out of before. Amé stood speechless watching his retreating form as her mind brought up two questions. The first being why she was having feelings for Inuyasha and the second being if he was truly having feelings for her.

Chapter Four: To Break A Promise
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Inuyasha looked back at the castle. He knew that he shouldn’t have gotten Amé’s hopes up by kissing her the second time, but he couldn’t help himself. He didn’t know what possessed him to do such a thing, all he really knew was that he had enjoyed it. However, he needed to keep his mind on the task at hand. He needed to find Kikyou. Perhaps it was time to tell her the truth. Tell her that he no longer loved her, not as he had when she was alive.
He began sniffing, her scent of bone and grave soil became greater and he moved toward the scent of her. After a few moments he spotted her in a clearing and he landed closely behind her. As he landed she spun around and ran to him and pulled him into a tight embrace.
“Oh, my Inuyasha, you have no idea how wonderful it is to see you. I have missed you so much.” Kikyo had whispered to him as she held him tightly. I didn’t take her too long, however, to discover that he was not hugging her back. She released him and backed away slightly. “Inuyasha, what is wrong?”
“Ugh... well... I... Something has been troubling me. Can we talk about it?” Inuyasha questioned her, no trace of a smile evident on his face.
“Sure.” Kikyou smiled and grabbed his hand and pulled him to a nearby tree and sat them both down. “What is it that you needed to talk about my love?” Inuyasha noticed that she had turned so that their bodies were facing. He knew what he had to say, and he knew that he couldn’t look her in the eye as he did it.
“I promi... I promised you something Kikyou.” Inuyasha began, as he spoke her he looked down at the ground, afraid to meet her gaze.
“Yes, I know this Inuya...” She had began but Inuyasha cut her off.
“I’m afraid that I can’t keep my promise.” Inuyasha finished and then chanced a look up at Kikyou. She looked enraged.
“What? Why can’t you?” She yelled at him making him quickly cover his ears.
“I don’t want to lie to you anymore Kikyou, I don’t love you, not like I did when you were alive.” He stated while wondering whether it was safe to remove his hands from his sensitive ears. She looked even more angry, then a look of realization popped onto her face and Inuyasha began to wonder what she was thinking of. He didn’t have to wait long to find out.
“It’s because of Kagome isn’t it? She’s taken you from me! I’ll kill her!” Kikyou shouted getting up from her seated position and began to walk away.
“Kikyou, this has nothing to do with Kagome! I’m not in love with her either.” Inuyasha growled at his former love.
“Then who is it Inuyasha? Who has taken you from me?” She yelled as she twirled around to meet the gaze of her love.
“Nobody Kikyou.”
“Then why do you not love me anymore? I do not understand.” She said turned to him with a cocked eyebrow.
“Kikyou, people fall in love, people fall out of love. It happens everyday. I’m not sure that I want to spend the rest of eternity with you in hell while there is still so much here that I have to live for.” Inuyasha said honestly. He did have something to live for. To protect his friends, not to mention his budding romance with Amé, but as stated before, he wouldn’t go so for as to say that he was in love with her.
“You promised me Inuyasha. You made a promise.” Kikyou stated now staring it him with a mix of anger and hurt showing in her eyes.
“I know Kikyou, but one day you will understand why I can’t keep my promise. You wouldn’t want me to let you go through the rest of eternity thinking that I love you when, I really don’t. Not anymore.” Inuyasha looked at her knowing that she was taking the time to think about what he had just said. After a few moments of silence she began to nod her head in agreement.
“I guess you’re right. I wouldn’t want you to lie to me.” She smiled softly and walked over to Inuyasha. She pulled him into another hug, this time he responded back. “Goodbye Inuyasha, forever. I will no longer bother you.” She said as she pulled away from the hug. She began walking back into the forest, with her spirit stealers (really I can not for the life of me remember what they are called) following behind her. Inuyasha then here’s her voice telling them to go away, that she no longer wishes to live her half life, she’s ready to die again. With those final words Inuyasha looks at the retreating back of his one time love.
“Goodbye Kikyou.” He whispered softly as he body began to disappear from the air and within seconds she was gone. Forever. Inuyasha stood there thinking about Kikyou’s reaction to what he had told her. She had acted differently than planned. He never would have guessed that she would simply let her self go back to hell without Inuyasha, and without finishing putting the sacred jewel back together. That was something he definitely did not think she would do. He decided not to tell the others that she had returned without him. He thought it would be better to just let them think that she was no longer interested in him.
Inuyasha had stood in that clearing for a while before he realized that it would be sunset soon and he had told Amé that he wold be back before sunset. He decided that now would be as good of time as any to head back to the castle. He took off toward the castle and made it there rather quickly. Kikyou must not have been very far away from the castle.
When he reached the castle he saw that someone had fixed the wall outside of the castle, the one that he had made come down earlier due to a missed Wind Scar attack. He decided it was best to go to the East wing where he and Miroku where to stay, and wait for someone to come and find him. It wasn’t his castle to wander in, after all. He jumped up into the window the was at the end of the long East wing hallway. He perched himself on the windowsill to see Amé knocking on a door. He stayed in silence.
“Miroku, would you open the door already?” Amé questioned from outside the large wooden door.
“Sorry, I thought you were Sango coming to slap me again.” The houshi smiled after he had opened the door. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”
“I was wondering if you had seen Tama since he’s been back.” Amé said while looking hopefully at the houshi.
“Okay, I’m going to ignore the fact that you could track him by his scent if you really wanted to find him and tell you that the last time I talked to him, he said that he was headed to visit Aneko.” Miroku smirked.
“Arigatou.” She smiled back at the houshi.
“Now might I ask you something?” He questioned her and she nodded. “You were the last person with Inuyasha and I was wondering if you knew where he is.”
“When we were in the West wing he smelled someone familiar in the woods and he went to check it out. He said he’d be back before sunset.” Amarante replied to Miroku as he nodded his head as if he already knew who it was. Inuyasha smiled from his perch where he was listening to them both, neither away of his presence.
“Actually he’s back now.” Inuyasha said which scared the two bystanders. He laughed and hopped down from his perch and walked toward them both. “Can I talk to you for a minute?” He asked Amé upon reaching them. She nodded and the houshi laughed while closing the door and going back in the door.
Amé walked to the large door opposite the one Miroku had just closed. She opened the door and walked in. Inuyasha followed her in and closed the door behind the two of them. She walked silently over to the window like Inuyasha had in her room that morning. Then she turned toward him.
“What was it that you wanted to speak with me about Inuyasha?” She questioned him. He walked over to her making sure they were very close, he was about one step away from her. He looked directly into her eyes.
“To make a long story short, dear Amé, I spoke to Kikyou, I told her that I didn’t love her anymore and that I could no longer keep up my end of the promise. She took it very well.” He smirked at Amarante while her mind began to wonder.
“Why are you telling me this Inuyasha?” Amé questioned the hanyou before her. He took the last step toward her, not breaking his eye contact.
“Why do you feel the need to ask such dumb questions Amarante?” He joked to her.
“Inuyasha, it is not as if I am your mate, questioning you of your loyalty.” Amé stated simply, beginning to wonder where this conversation was headed. She soon found that there wasn’t much more conversation left in Inuyasha as he leaned forward and for the second time that day, swiftly closed the gap between their lips in a sound kiss on the lips.
This time however, it was a bit different. Upon him not pulling away shortly after Amé wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his face slightly closer. As he felt her movement he moved his arms around her waist, pulling her whole body closer to him in an instant. Before too long the one sound kiss turned into a series of short passionate ones.
After a few minutes of pleasurable enjoyment for both the hanyou and the youkai Inuyasha ended the kiss by pulling away from her, leaving her arms. He smiled at the blush that now rested on her face, something that he evoked from her often. He then decided to make a remark about he last sentence. He reached a hand up to her face and caressed her cheek with his clawed thumb.
“Not yet.” He smirked and then swiftly turned and left the room without giving her time to recover or reply. She had to rack her brain for a moment to think of what her last remark was. Then she remembered. She had told him that she was not his mate. And he had told her ‘not yet’. This must have meant that he had intentions of making it to be true in the future. She would remember his words to use against him one day. That’s the kind of princess she was. She sighed and left the room heading for the dinner hall, knowing that it was nearly time for the hall to be filled with the food of the evening.
