InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Romance Novel ❯ Promise ( Chapter 12 )

Chapter 12: Promise

 

Inuyasha walked through the snowy park seeing nothing, but white. Everything was covered in snow; it looked beautiful. He picked up some snow and made it into a little ball. He dropped it and began to roll it around in the snow. The ball slowly grew bigger as he rolled it around. Inuyasha saw two feet standing in his way and he looked up to see Kagome looking down at him.

 

“Are you making a snowman now?” Kagome asked.

 

“I have nothing better to do,” Inuyasha stated. Kagome made a snowball in her hands and then threw it at Inuyasha. It missed and hit the ground behind him. Inuyasha burst out laughing and fell on to the ground. “You missed!”

 

“I don't see how that's funny,” Kagome scuffed kicking snow at him.

 

“I was less than three feet in front of you! How could you miss?!” he laughed looking up at her from the ground.

 

“Well sorry for not being the star pitcher of the team coach,” she sighed. Inuyasha reached up and grabbed her hands. He pulled her down and she fell to her knees right next to his head. He lifted his head to rest it of her lap.

 

“What's going on Inuyasha? Please tell me,” she whispered.

 

“It's nothing. That Paris news was just a bit of a shock to me. You never mentioned going to Paris before,” he stated.

 

“That's because I thought I wouldn't make it. I really joined as a joke, but now that I made it I think I'm going to go,” she smiled.

 

“I'm glad you're following your dream Kagome. I really am,” he said smiling back.

 

“You don't seem to glad,” she sighed.

 

“I'm just going to miss you. I never thought that I would get together with you and then a few months later have you leave for Paris. I thought we could've had something special,” he said sitting up.

 

“You're just saying that. You're like the king of romance, you've probably used that line in your books many times,” she whispered trying to change the topic.

 

“I wrote those books Kagome. That means I came up with the words and characters. You should know by now that I never say mushy stuff like that in public. You are the only one to hear those words come out of my mouth,” he said seriously.

 

In truth Kagome didn't want to go to Paris. She was scared. Just when everything was looking up for her, she had to go overseas to study. Most of all she didn't want to lose Inuyasha. She felt tears come to her eyes and she threw herself at him. He was thrown off balance and he landed on his back with Kagome crying on is chest. He patted her head staring up at the sky. He didn't think he could handle seeing her like this at the moment.

 

“I don't want to leave you behind! I want to stay here with you!” Kagome cried.

 

“Don't cry Kagome. Please just stop crying,” he whispered in her ear.

 

Kagome only nodded and wiped at her face to stop the tears. “I'm sorry! I just can't stop. What should I do Inuyasha? What do you want me to do?” she asked.

 

“It doesn't matter what I want or say because in the end it's your decision,” he said.

 

“I know, I was just looking for a little guidance to help me out. I'm just so confused. I want to go because my dream might be accomplished if I go through with it, but that would mean leaving everyone behind,” she sighed looking at the ground.

 

“Kagome, just listen to me for a second. Why don't you just stop thinking for a day or two and then decide. You still have some time before you have to decide,” he suggested.

 

“Okay sounds good to me. When the time comes will you help me decide?” she asked.

 

“Sure. No matter what you chose I'll be here,” he smiled. Kagome sighed in relief and wrapped her arms around his neck. She just needed to be close to him. Inuyasha hugged her in return and hummed softly in her ear.

 

“How about we finish that snowman you were starting to make? Kagome asked.

 

“Alright. Sounds like fun,” Inuyasha said gathering snow.

Kagome sat in her room staring at the letter she was given for studying in Paris. She sighed and turned her head to the side. “I hate this! Why does it have to be this way? Why can't I go away for a semester and then have Inuyasha waiting for me?” Kagome asked to no one in particular.

 

“I can't believe how selfish I am. I'm asking for too much. I'm such a bad person,” she whispered and stood up. The door behind her opened and Inuyasha entered.

 

“Hey Kagome, Souta and Shippo are asleep on my futon so I wondering if I could sleep in here,” he stated, then added, “On the floor, of course.”

 

“Can't you just wake them up?” Kagome asked.

 

“It's eleven o'clock and they were playing video games. I don't think I should wake them up,” he said.

 

“What about my mom? I don't think she'll accept this,” she said trying to make some kind of excuse.

 

“Your mom is the one who suggested it. I'll just need a pillow and I'll be fine. Don't worry, nothing will happen,” he said and sat down on her bed.

 

“Well if you're going to sleep in here you can sleep on the bed…with me,” she stated, whispering the last part and blushing a little.

 

“What? Are you sure? I'm perfectly fine with the floor,” he reassured.

 

“I'm sure. Besides we're a couple, right? Couples do this thing all the time,” she smiled.

 

“I know, but we just started going out a couple months ago. Are you sure you can trust me?” he asked.

 

“Yeah, I'm trusting you to keep yourself in line. Besides I slept on your lap on the way here,” she said stepping closer to him.

 

“You are way too trusting, Princess, but I'll keep my hands to myself,” he smirked and grabbed her arm. He pulled her to his chest and wrapped his arms around her. He dug his nose into her hair and breathed in deeply. He didn't want her to leave. He wanted to stay with her. He sighed against her neck, causing her to giggle.

 

“That tickles! I thought you were going to keep your hands to yourself,” she laughed.

 

“You just looked so cute like that. I couldn't resist,” he smiled and kissed her neck.

 

“Let's go to bed. I'm getting tired.”

 

“Alright. Ladies first.” He let go of Kagome and she climbed into bed. She snuggled under the covers and watched as Inuyasha turned off the lights. Her heart was racing. What if something happened? Would it ruin everything? Inuyasha began to take off his clothes and Kagome blushed.

 

“What are you doing?” she asked.

 

“I like to sleep in the nude,” he stated. Kagome gasped and hid her face. “I'm kidding. I sleep in my boxers.” Kagome sighed in relief and closed her eyes. Inuyasha laughed and climbed into bed next to her. He kissed her temple before wrapping his arms around her. Kagome awkwardly curled into a ball out of habit.

 

“Kagome, your knees are digging into me,” Inuyasha sighed, Kagome looked up at him and straightened out.

 

“I'm sorry. I've never really slept in the same bed with anyone other than my little brother,” she whispered blushing.

 

“Relax, nothing is going to happen,” he smiled. He ran his hand through her hair and hummed softly to calm her.

 

“You are horrible! I can't believe you are doing this to me you jerk!” Kagome snapped as tears formed in her eyes.

 

Inuyasha was confused. He sat up and looked down at her asking, “What am I doing?”

 

“You're making me fall in love with you! I want to leave for Paris and yet you're here making me want to stay!” she cried.

 

“I'm sorry. I'll go sleep on the floor since I'm causing you so much trouble,” he said not letting the subject go further.

 

“No! Stay! I want to spend as much time close to you as possible,” she mumbled grabbing his arm. She didn't want him to leave. She loved the feeling of his warmth next to her.

 

“Decide right now what you want. Don't think about it just say the first thing that pops into your head,” he ordered.

 

“I want to go to Paris,” she blurted out. Inuyasha smiled and nodded.

 

“Congrats, Princess! Looks like you're going to Paris,” he said smiling softly.

 

“Please wait for me! I know it's too much to ask for, but I really want to be with you later. I really, truly want to be with you,” she sobbed tears spilling down her cheeks.

 

“That is a lot to ask, but I'll do my best. You have to talk to me everyday though. And draw everything and send it to me,” he said.

 

“Thank you so much Inuyasha! I love you even more now,” she smiled.

 

“You better after everything I've done,” he teased and lay back beside her. He wrapped his arms around her again and pulled her to him. “I'm going to miss you,” he mumbled.

 

“I know, me too,” she said rubbing her cheek against his bare chest. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

“Good morning Kag-“ Kagome's mother froze when she saw Inuyasha's naked upper body next to Kagome. Kagome awoke and rubbed her eyes. She sat up and smiled at her mom.

 

“Good morning mom. What's wrong?” she asked.

 

“What's Inuyasha doing in your bed?” her mom asked quietly. Kagome looked down at the sleeping Inuyasha and blushed.

 

“This isn't what it looks like! I just let him sleep in the bed because the floor is so cold and hard,” she said.

 

“Okay, but I'm trusting you on this,” her mom said and grabbed her dirty laundry. Her mom left and closed the door. Kagome sighed in relief and she smiled at Inuyasha. She had slept really well and she liked waking up next to him.

 

Inuyasha opened his eyes and moaned when sunlight met him.

 

“Good morning Inuyasha,” Kagome smiled. Inuyasha just groaned and pulled her back down on the bed.

 

“More sleep please,” he mumbled digging his face into Kagome's chest.

 

“You are not a morning person are you?” she asked. Inuyasha just grunted and rubbed his cheek against her collarbone. His hand went up her under her shirt and stayed at her hip.

 

“Really Inuyasha, you should get up soon,” she stated running her hands through his long silver hair.

 

“Your breasts are bigger than they look,” he smirked up at her. She blushed and pushed him away.

 

“You are such a pervert! I can't believe I let you sleep in my bed! Why do you have to ruin a perfectly good moment,” she said sitting up.

 

“It was a compliment! You should try to accept compliments sometimes!” he shouted.

 

“What kind of compliment is that?! My breasts are a part of my body and you shouldn't be checking it out without my permission!” she yelled back.

 

“I'm your boyfriend! We've been together for almost half a year! It's natural to do that king of thing,” he snapped. Kagome glared at him and turned away from him. She knew it was natural, but she couldn't help being scared of actually going all the way with him. She felt herself blush at the thought of Inuyasha doing that with her.

 

“What are you so worked up about? Inuyasha asked.

 

“Shut up and get up!” she shouted and threw a pillow at his face. He laughed and hugged Kagome to him.

 

“I'm just playing around. I love you. You are too cute,” he smirked and kissed her lips.

 

“I love you too,” she whispered after they had parted.

 

“Promise me that I will be your only one,” he ordered.

 

“I promise if you promise the same thing,” she smiled.

 

“I promise too,” he said and kissed her forehead.

 

“Paris, here I come!” she laughed.
