A/N: Hey everyone! It is I Silver Moon Vampiress, SMV for short. So here I am posting the one shot I was talking about with a Kag/Ban pairing. Anyway enjoy the fic!
Disclaimer: Hey you know that I'll never own Inuyasha; not in a million years or any other time!
Anything to shut you up:
The Inuyasha gang traveled along a road hastily, following Kagome's lead on the location of nearby Jewel shards. She had sensed several shards all in one place, which was consistent with the Shichinintai. It wasn't long before they came across a Shogun's castle. Dead bodies of slain men lay strewn everywhere and blood lay in pools splattered all along the ground and walls. Then, there among the chaos, the Shichinintai stood, the mercenaries responsible for the mass manslaughter.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the Shichinintai. Here to quench your thirst for blood I see," Inuyasha said. He looked around in disgust as the scent of blood and dead men infiltrated his nostrils and overloaded his senses.
"Ah, if it isn't Inuyasha," the teenage mercenary and leader of the Shichinintai said with a smug grin. He hefted his bloodstained Banryuu onto his shoulder with ease, and started towards Inuyasha and the others. "Thanks for saving me trouble of seeking you; you're next on my list."
"Ha you think you can kill me as easily as you killed these innocent men? You must be joking." Inuyasha then drew his Tetsusaiga and it instantly transformed in a flash of yellow light.
"Well then, let's not waste anymore time talking and let's just get on with the killing already." Bankotsu then charged at Inuyasha with his banryu in hand. Inuyasha prepared himself to block Bankotsu's attack and there was a clang of metal as the two swords clashed.
The other members of the Shichinintai took this as their cue and matched themselves up with the other members of the Inuyasha gang. Suikotsu was matched up with Miroku, Jakotsu with Sango and Kirara, and Renkotsu with Kagome and Shippo. While Inuyasha and Bankotsu went at it in the background, the others faced off. Miroku stood staring Suikotsu down as he took a hold of the prayer beads about his right hand.
"Ha! Don't make me laugh! You wouldn't dare risk sucking in a Jewel shard let alone risk getting poisoned by Naraku's insects. You're virtually powerless without that hole in your hand, which is too bad for you, because I'm going to cut you into ribbons!" Suikotsu then charged at Miroku and his claws clashed with his staff, which surprisingly held up despite the amount of power behind the assault.
Jakotsu sighed as he watched his other comrades battle it out and then turned to face Sango and Kirara with a look of boredom playing upon his features.
"Oh man, why do I always get stuck with killing the women? Hey demon slayer! Just hurry up and die so I can watch Inuyasha's death, all right?"
"No chance. Hirakotsu!" Sango then flung her weapon at a blinding speed towards Jakotsu, and he narrowly escaped the attack. He drew his sword and lashed out with it, wrapping its bending blade about her weapon and halting its flight. He then flung her weapon to a far corner of the shogun's castle.
"Let's just get this over with already," Jakotsu said, retracting his sword.
"Gladly," Sango said as she drew her own sword. "Let's go Kirara!" She gave a steady roar and followed Sango into battle.
Renkotsu turned to look at the young miko with anger boiling up within his veins. He would kill her this time for sure. He wasn't going to stand by idly and watch as she gave away the fact that he had possession of Ginkotsu's Jewel shard.
"Well, well, well, it's just you and me now. I'll burn you to a crisp until all that's left of you is a mound of ashes!" He then took a small swig of the liquid in his gourd and blew out a raging stream of fire from his mouth. The flame attack flew towards Kagome and she screamed as she felt the heat surround her body.
"Transform", Shippo shouted and he was immediately morphed into a bird. He then grabbed a hold of Kagome's shoulders and lifted her lifted her into the air and away from the fiery swirl of Renkotsu's flames.
"Damn that annoying Kitsune. I'll get them both this time," he said after he had taken another swig of the liquid.
Inuyasha and Bankotsu continued to go at it, that is, until Inuyasha was suddenly distracted by Kagome's shrill cry. Due to this moment of diversion, Bankotsu was able to catch Inuyasha off guard and him push him backwards, throwing him off balance.
"Damn you Bankotsu! I'll finish you off once and for all! Windscar!" Inuyasha then slammed his fabled sword into the ground, emitting a powerful attack from its blade.
'Just the opportunity I've been waiting for' Bankotsu thought. He then dug his banryu deep into the ground before him to stave off the attack, and leapt lithely into the air just as the Windscar struck his weapon.
The Windscar created a large blast as it struck Bankotsu's weapon, giving off a blinding flash of light that caused widespread panic and confusion. All the others halted their attacks and paused to shield their eyes from the light. Shippo was also affected, and detranformed, causing Kagome to slip from his grasp and plummet towards the ground below. She screamed as she felt the wind rush by her body as she fell through the air, towards the fast approaching ground. Then almost as suddenly as she began to plummet downward, she was abruptly snatched out of the air before she could hit the ground and cradled against someone's chest. Kagome had been so scared that she still had her eyes screwed shut in fear, simply throwing her arms about her savior's neck, assuming it was Inuyasha who had saved her. It wasn't until she opened her eyes that she realized how wrong she was. Whisking her away, with his arms wound about her tightly, was Bankotsu, the leader of the Shichinintai.
She immediately moved away from his body, as far as their compromised position would allow, without breaking her grasp about his neck, for fear she may lose her balance and fall to the ground.
"Wha-what are you doing?"
"Well I thought it was obvious. I'm kidnapping you of course", he said while staring straight into her eyes.
"But, why?"
Before he could answer her question however, the light from Inuyasha's attack dispersed to reveal a rather pissed off hanyou. When Inuyasha saw Kagome in Bankotsu's arms, he became enraged beyond comprehension.
"Damn you Bankotsu. Get your hands off her!"
"Sorry Inuyasha. No can do. Naraku ordered me to kidnap her and that's what I'm gonna do."
Once he made it to his banryu he picked it up with one hand and started to carry it away, putting Kagome back on her feet.
"Fall-back men," he shouted as he made a gesture towards his fellow comrades.
As Inuyasha saw the men retreating, he began to approach Bankotsu in hopes of saving Kagome.
"Don't you walk away from me Bankotsu," Inuyasha growled. When Bankotsu continued to walk off, dragging Kagome alongside him, he shouted, "Get back here you black-hearted son of a . . . "
"Now, now Inuyasha. There's no need for such language," Bankotsu said, turning back to face the enraged hanyou. "Besides I don't have time to chat with you anyway. Oh, and if you take another step closer, I'll slay her here and now." To emphasize his point, he held his banryu in close proximity to Kagome's neck.
When Inuyasha saw this, he halted in his tracks, believing that Bankotsu's statement was no idle threat.
"That's a good dog. If you come after us, I'll kill her on the spot, you got that?"
Inuyasha simply graced him with a purely animalistic and ferocious growl, rumbling from his chest, as a reply.
"Good. Oh and before I forget, Naraku told me to leave you this." He then tossed a makeshift wooden doll before them and it immediately transformed into one of Naraku's puppets. "See-ya", he said as he disappeared from the shogun's castle along with his men and Kagome alongside him.
Inuyasha and the others were then left to stave off the attacks of the very likeness of their sworn enemy, Naraku.

After almost three hours of travel, the band of mercenaries and their captive finally entered their secret hideout. All throughout the trek through the shaded forest, Kagome was completely and totally silent, her face becoming a blank mask. Her eyes however, held such an intense and icy glare within their deep brown depths. In fact each and every time Bankotsu looked at her with his peripheral vision, he could feel the intenseness of her icy glare piercing through him, which sent shivers down his spine.
'Damn that look's giving me the creeps' he thought at one point. 'But it looks good on her. It's similar to the look I get when I'm ready to kill someone. Oh great, now that look's starting to turn me on.' He mentally shook himself for thinking such thoughts. 'What the hell am I thinking? She's my enemy's woman! How can I be attracted her?' Though he could easily see why he was; she had curves in all the right places, and only a fool (or Jakotsu) would be able to overlook her. He often took appreciative glances at her body when she wasn't looking and couldn't help liking what he saw and being turned on in the worst way.
When she had accidentally tripped over a small rock buried in the road, her skirt flew up, for a brief second, and he couldn't help but take a peek at her lacy, pink underwear. He had to cover up his involuntary groan with a cough and avert his eyes to keep the fact that he was looking to himself.
'Goddamn she's hot' he thought once she had collected herself and had started walking again. 'I'd love to drag her behind some bushes and . . .' He had to halt his thoughts right there before he lost control and really did live out the sick, perverse fantasies running through his mind.
When they finally reached the hideout he was relieved to be free of her icy glare and his perverted thoughts. He soon found however, that he would be spending some quality time alone with her for a few hours since the others were off to get some supplies and probably, most definitely, kill some more men.
"Aw come on guys. Please don't leave me here alone with her," Bankotsu pleaded.
"Why? She's just an ordinary mortal girl," Jakotsu said.
'Ordinary was not at all how I would describe' he thought with an involuntary shudder.
"And besides," Jakotsu continued, "you were the one who decided not to tell us what our true objective was—to capture that girl Kagome—and thus, since you single-handedly captured her, she's your responsibility."
"But…"
"Bye Bankotsu", Jakotsu cried as he waved to him. "We'll be back in three hours!" He then ran off to catch up with the others, leaving Bankotsu behind.
Bankotsu sighed heavily as he made his way to the room where Kagome was being held. He found her in the same place he had left her only a half an hour ago, her face still looking like a blank mask—her eyes still holding that intense icy glare. He noticed she hadn't acknowledged his presence in the room at all, still continuing to stare off at a distant wall. After a moment's hesitation, he sat across from her, chose a spot on the wall to stare at and proceeded to daydream.
'This is gonna be one hell of a long three hours' he thought.
A/N: So what'd you think! This is my first shot at this pairing so I hoped you liked it! I originally intended to make this a one shot, but I didn't have enough time to type all the handwritten pages of the story, so I cut it down. I'm so sorry for those who are reading my other stories, I couldn't update because I didn't have enough time and I have to get ready for school tomorrow (not to mention get back to my homework). Next chapter will have more Ban/Kag action, but there won't be a lemon. This story is only rated M because I feel the content isn't suitable for teens (though that kind of makes no sense, because I'm a teen and I'm writing this). Though I'll do my best during the week to work on chapter two of my story Drawn and I'll try to post chapter five of Hidden Power because its already finished. So all you readers out there go on and do what you do best and review for me please! I'm out!
