Chains.. wrapped around my body. Why are they there? I don't remember... I tugged on the cold metal, desperatly trying to pull it off. I sigh as it doesn't move...

I try to move my body.. it is stuck where it is.. It doesn't want to move. I lay in this unfamiliar place.. desperate for help.. I need someone to save me.

I hear voices. One is deep and manly.. the other the exact opposite.. feminine.. and high. "Where did you find this..bitch?" The feminine one asks. "In the forest Jakotsu.. now.. I need to think.. let me be."

Then it hits me. I am with Bankotsu and Jakotsu. The Shichinin-tai.. great. I look around, hoping I'll see where they are.

I sense something.. One of the many shadows in the dark cavern moves.. a strange shining glow following behind it.. Banryuu? Bankotsu?

It comes over to me.. "Miko.." he says. "Kagome" I correct him. "Ka...gome.." his hot breath hits my neck, telling me he is strangly close.

"Are you.. Bankotsu?" I question. "Yes.." he whispers. I panic. I don't want to be alone with him.. he is a killer.. assasin.. murderer... he has victims.. he tortures.. he would consider me no different than the people he kills every day.

then.. the strange happens..

His lips touch mine... warm... so warm.. I get lost in it. I know I should pull away.. it is only right.. but I can't... and I won't...I pull farther in, deepening the kiss.

Minutes pass.. and he pulls away, leaving me with a smile. I want him.. I want to feel his lips again.. I know it I should be calling him a pig and screaming for Inuyasha.. but I don't want him. So I say the one word that my mouth will open to. "More"

I see a visible smile on his face as he pulls his head back down to mine, once again letting his lips collide with mine. I wish for the moment to last forever.. but it won't.

His tongue runs across my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I gladly part my lips, a shiver going down my spine as his tongue explores the depths of my mouth.

Finally after what seems like hours, he pulls away, once again leaving me with a smile; wider than the last one. I want to say more.. but I know it is over.

"Don't stop" I mumble. He doesn't answer. I try once more. "MORE" I yell. He puts his finger on my lips. I jerk away. "Please.. more.. don't stop.." I whine. He is silent..

I want his to talk.. I want to know what is going on... the silence frightens me.

"I love you." I whisper.. It is true.. I love the one I am supposed to hate..

"I love you too." is his reply, along with a short, meaningful kiss that I long for.

Silence once again...

"Whats wrong?" I ask suspiciously.

"I'm sorry." he whispered. He picks up Banryuu, the last thing I see is it's shining glare before... darkness.
