(A/N Oi! How you enjoy this Bakas! With Love Deadly kiss)

Bankotsu sat at the edge of comfort. He felt wrong today. The feeling that someone gets when they hurt someone or steal something. It was an over powering feeling of guilt. The faces raced through his mind burning their eyes into his memory. His eyes burned with coming tears. He couldn't take it anymore. He didn't want to cause anymore pain. It was too much for the powerful leader. He would have to leave his tribe mates and his leader the powerful Naraku.
The worst thing was he wouldn't be able to say good-bye to his good friend Jakotsu. Out of all his tribe mates Jakotsu was the only one with whom he could truly trust. But Jakotsu was off doing a job for Naraku. Bankotsu felt so small and so alone. He drew his knees up to his chest. Should he run or should he stay here at the delta of this river and wait to meet Naraku as he had planned? He couldn't decide. If he waited to much longer Naraku-sama would be here. He had to decide now. His fists clenched in defiance as he slowly looked up at the clear night sky. He stood and slowly turned looking out into the forest. He ran dodging trees and jumping over logs. He was scared and unsure but he was already on his way and there was no turning back.

Jakotsu walked quietly along the Cliffside trail it seemed like he had been climbing this cliff for hours. He was nearly at the top and he looked up with a sigh of relief when a tree came into view. "Thank god" he mumbled as he reached the top. But as he did he smelled it, Naraku's Miasma. The long haired spider hanyou stood arms crossed by the tree. Jakotsu bowed on the ground. "Naraku -sama..I wasn't expecting you." "Where is he?" Naraku said ignoring Jakotsus greeting. Jakotsu looked up and the hanyous uncomforting face.
" Who Naraku-sama?" "Who do you think? Where is Bankotsu? He was supposed to meet me!" Naraku said taking an annoyed step towards him. Jakotsu quickly got to his feet.
"Wasn't he at the river delta? He told me he was going to meet you there. I don't understand he said that he would be! Are you sure he wasn't there?" Jakotsu asked quickly. Naraku's face grew red angry.
" Do I look BLIND! Of course he wasn't there! Would I be here with you asking for him!" Naraku yelled his voice echoing down into the canyon. Jakotsu cringed at his angry words.
"I-I don't know what happened, Naraku-sama." Jakotsu said taking a frightened step back.
"Was he in a fight! Do you think that something may have happened to him?" The leaders voice suddenly softened and his eyes drooped in worry.
"No I don't think so." Jakotsu responded meekly. Narakus eyes narrowed and he growled slightly. Then in a cloud of miasma he was gone. Jakotsu only stared after him. Bankotsu? Where are you? I hope that you're alright leader. He thought to himself then he turned and continued on his way.

Bankotsu's chest hurt. It burned he'd been running for hours it seemed. His legs hurt and were slowly weakening. So he wasn't surprised when the suddenly gave way underneath him. The young man slumped to the ground panting over his shaking hands. He didn't have the strength to stand. He didn't even have the strength to look around. But his ears still worked. And they picked up and crunching of leaves coming towards him. His eyes widened as two bare feet came slightly into view. He knew whose feet they were because they sloped up into red pants. One of the feet drew back to kick. It flew forward towards Bankotsus face hitting him into the head. Bankotsu flew backwards slamming his head on a rock. As he blacked out he heard a female voice cry out. "Inuyasha DON'T!"
