Bankoutsu never gets what he wants. But will his needs abandon him too?

Wants and Needs- chapter one

My blade swung across a soldiers neck. The flesh ripped open and neck snapped of, It was a wonderful sound. He asked for it though! Asking me what I was doing. Hmph, some people are so incompetent. I thought I made it very clear that I was making my way to the village just ahead, but apparently it wasn't that obvious.

His blood seeped into the ground and his shaking body slowed, I watched the crimson fluid gush out through the gaping hole in his throat. It was everywhere.

I whipped my blade clean best I could above the searing carcass. Until I had just about enough of looking at his pitiful form, I re-sheathed and bent over him. I reached out towards him and inserted my hand in his deep pocket. Inward I pressed and viscous fluid spattered out as I further perused my goal.

I walk away chuckling with a leather pouch swinging around my index finger. Not before I kicked his sorry ass one last time.

Yes, the town was in sight. I stop to take in my surroundings. Just on the outskirts of the village was a lone hut, where my other brothers of the band of seven were waiting patiently for my arrival. I started out again, as a petal drifted onto the tip of my nose.

I stare up at the Sakura tree above me and smiled as I remembered, they were his favourite. And after a moment of hesitation, my steady hand had plucked a blossom off of the lowest branch. I tied it around my hilt and with a little more spring in my step, pressed onward.

This was to be a gift. Yes, a gift for Jakoutsu.

I grinned at all the means of thanks I might receive. And somehow, my heart skipped a couple beats when my thoughts lingered on the prospect of a kiss. A light flush crossed my face and my pace quickened. This night might be interesting!

Xx ………………………………xX

The sky was a deep hue of red, just as my eyes when I arrived. My brothers were setting a fire and Jak was busy chatting about some half breed he'd run into.

From what I heard, all this bastard did was wave his fang in the air, and use colourful adjectives.

I was enraged. Didn't he realize I would curse and scream his name too, if I only had the chance? And with that, I stomped off to my room in the little hut.

I trudged over to the futon on the dirt floor and sat down. Hands covering my face, a sigh of frustration came, but so did a knock on the door.

I made no attempt to get up. I was in no mood to talk to anyone, but if they came in, that was their death wish. Naw, I'm not pissed! (Sarcasm is great!)

Jak made his way across the room and plopped down beside me, cross legged. His delicate hand caressed my tension-filled fist.

I glanced up at him, but my eyes didn't linger in his. They were drawn to his legs. The way he was sitting, his kimono rose just a little to high and I could almost see ---

"Bankoutsu, are you alright? You seem a little… off."

His feminine voice soothed me, and I wanted to tell him. I wanted him to know of all the heartache he has caused me. I want him to understand how it burns too look at him square in the eyes. Yes, I want him to know of my secret love for him, but I get nothing of what I want.

My hand pulls away from his caress to again support my chin. I realize I have been distant lately but it hurts to be in such close proximity with him and not be able to touch him, kiss him, suck him…

His gaze follows my braid, which wrapped around my side, and rests on my hilt. His gasp sounded and then a giggle rumbled through my ears. I smirked as I tossed him the blossom.

I caught my breath once I finally realized his arms had laced happily around my form. He reminded me of water, soft but when challenged can penetrate any rock. Not to mention my love flows constant and forever, harboured only for him.

We stayed there for a couple of seconds, then Jak broke away chuckling as he plucked petals from my hair. All was well until Jak revealed Inuyasha also had them in his hair today, and he was 'super kawii!'

It made me sick. I ground my teeth and dug my nails into my chin that they were supporting. Blood trickled down my neck, and Jak saw it. He leaned in and licked my jaw. Images of him licking other places leaked into my head, and blood seemed to clog in those very places.

It came out of my nose to, in a couple of drips. The longer his tongue lingered on my skin, the harder my erection probed.

Shutting my eyes tight I realized I had to stay in control. As long as that mutt was around, I could do nothing.

Realization hit hard. 'As long as the mutt is alive' he must die! His miko friend has jewel shards so it is the perfect cover! I enter battle, everyone assuming I want the shards, and come out with a greater jewel, my Jak at my side.

My mind was made up, tomorrow, Inuyasha dies. (TBC)
