Tearing me apart

CH 1: Friends

"I don't think it's going to work" Sango stated flatly she started to walk away. "Sango wait give me another chance!"Miroku tried to stop her. "Monk what are you doing" A girl yanked him from going after the slayer.

"When will Miroku learn that his flirting really upsets Sango" Kagome shook her head. "Well she'll come around eventually." Shippo added. "No I don't think there is going to be a makeup session between them two" Inuyasha crossed his arms and lean on a tree for support.

Poor Kirara she doesn't know whether to go after Sango" Shippo commented on a Kirara who wouldn't stop pacing. "Don't worry she'll be fine" Inuyasha looked at the route the slayer took not so long ago.

"But she left everything even her demon slayer outfit" Kagome mentioned "You sure she won't need saving?"Shippo asked.

"She'll come back she just needs to clear her mind" Inuyasha added.

Sango stopped she had walked far enough. "He's not coming" Sango knelt down.

"Keep it together Sango you knew this was going to happen" A tear manage to escape, She wiped it off.

"Great I'm weaponless no demon slayer outfit I look like a normal woman" Sango thought.

As if on cue bandits appeared out of nowhere.

"Well what's this, what do we have here?" One of them yelled "It's a woman" Another answered "A good looking one at that.

Sango took a fighting stance "There's too many" Sango thought. One bandit stroke her thigh Sango quickly reacted "Don't touch me!"She quickly spun around and kicked him in the face. The bandit practically flew from the impact of the kick.

"How dare you wench!" The others yelled in shock two grabbed her from the shoulders and the other two from the legs managing to bring her down. The bandit that took the blow to the head yelled "Now I'm going to break you Wench!" Sango struggled "DON'T YOU DARE" Sango yelled her eyes were starting to get watery.

That one bandit started to undo his obi when he suddenly stopped. He was cut in half.

"Hey leave her alone" A man ordered. "Thank the gods" Sango thought. "The bandits got their hands off Sango.

"Now leave" He commanded once again. They started to walk away, "Don't look back" one muttered. "Wait I changed my mind" He killed them instantly with his massive sword.

He turned to face the woman "Who are you?" Sango asked and fainted.

The man smirked "guess I have to take care of you for awhile" The man picked the slayer up.

A WHILE LATER

The slayer stirred from her slumber "Where am I?"Sango thought "I see you're awake" The man spoke out and sat near her. Everything came back to her. Sango bowed her head down "thank you I don't know how I could ever repay you-" "Bankotsu" He answered "Thank you Bankotsu" All these ideas started to pop into his head.

Sango bit her lip after seeing his face expression "I know how you can repay me" He said "By being my friend" Bankotsu added. "Okay" Sango extended her arm; he took it and kissed it. Sango blushed.

"Sorry I don't have many girl friends" Bankotsu grinned "It's alright Sango stuttered and turned away.

"She's really pretty" Bankotsu thought. "Oh I have to go it's almost sunset my friends are going to worry" Sango said.

"Will I ever see you again?" Bankotsu asked "Yeah I'm not going disappear" Sango laughed a bit.

"Umm can you take me where you found me" Sango frowned.

"Yeah no problem" Bankotsu led the way.

A WHILE LATER

"Well here we are" Bankotsu said a little disappointed. "Sorry we didn't get to know each other more" Sango commented "Yeah but we'll get to soon enough" Bankotsu assured. Sango only nodded.

"Well thank you Bankotsu" Sango gasped as Bankotsu pulled her into an embrace. "Goodbye Sango…" Bankotsu said. "Goodbye Bankotsu" Sango blushed again.

Sango started to walk away…

Bankotsu headed towards his camp "What are you doing here? Bankotsu asked "I came to look for you; "You said you wouldn't take long" Jakotsu replied.

Bankotsu was lost thinking about Sango. "Hello what's wrong with you Bankotsu?

"You know what I want to settle down once we finish Inuyasha and his group"

"What are you talking about?" Jakotsu asked "Is that what Naraku told you Kill some Inuyasha and group? Jakotsu asked again

"Yeah, oh Jakotsu you'll never believe I met the most beautiful girl, She makes my heart stop.

"So why didn't you just take her" Jakotsu suggested

Bankotsu shook his head "I saved her from some bandits that wanted to take her for themselves; you should of seen her I couldn't do that to her" Bankotsu said.

"I see so it's serious?" Jakotsu stated "Definitely" Bankotsu sat down and fed more wood to the fire.

"After we kill this Inuyasha and group I'm going to look for Sango and tell her to settle down with me" Bankotsu added with determination. "And I'm not taking no for an answer" Bankotsu smirked.
