Stormy Knight Seduction:
Bankotsu sat by the river under the large Hackberry tree. The wide leaves spanned a good amount of area and offered plenty of shade. They had a sharply serrated margin; they were glaucous beneath and had downy on the leaf veins.
His shoulders were slumped and his face expressionless. He sighed heavily and stared into the slightly rippling water of the river below. 'Why do I miss her so damned much? Why can't I get her out of my mind?'
Unbidden a picture of the dark haired beauty reflected off the water. She smiled back up at him as one slender hand pushed some hair behind her ear, while the rest of her hair waved in the wind. The water acted as a mirror reflecting her image to him clearly. Bankotsu felt a dull pain in his chest.
Her face had a light blush on it and her brown eyes shone with innocent seduction. Her soft pink lips formed a sultry pout. The white shirt stretched tight across the swell of her breasts and she wore that indecently short foreign kimono of hers.
His mind flashed back to the night he found her being harassed by bandits. He'd been bored and didn't mind getting into the fight. His only regret was that the opponents had been weak, which meant the fight didn't last very long.
He'd saved the silly girl from being raped that night. She'd cried herself sick that night and turned to him for comfort. He'd tried his best to comfort her by simply kissing and stroking her hair. After her sobs finally ceased, he'd opted for just holding her in his arms. Not having much practice at consoling a crying woman he'd felt… weird, but at the same time the ever present annoying ache in his chest had lessened a bit.
The way her body had molded against his was far too tempting and tested the very limits of his self control. His hand balled into a fist. 'It was her own damned fault getting hassled like that. She shouldn't wear a kimono that is barely three inches above her knees.' He snorted. 'Not even whores in brothels wear something that short. What did she expect?'
He shook his head dislodging the memories and glared at her reflection in the water. 'What the hell was I thinking letting her just leave like that anyways?' His hand jerked through his bangs and he scoffed. 'I didn't even ask for anything in return.'
His teeth ground. 'I should have scared a lesson into her! But no, I just had to go and be a 'nice guy' for once. Baka!' He huffed. 'Oh well she's gone now.'
He knew she was, because he'd walked her back to that strange well and watched her disappear into it. 'Just where the hell did she vanish to anyways?'
"Whatever." He ran his fingers through his bangs again. Her reflection sparkled at him. His eyes narrowed and his nostrils flared. He jumped to his feet and tossed a stone at the water, watching with little satisfaction as the water rippled and finally distorted the image. "Why won't you stop haunting me?"
As if matching the emotional storm inside of him the sky darkened and clouds quickly rolled in.
He stared up at the sky and snorted. "Just great, it looks like this is going to be a bad one too." He picked up Banryu and placed it on his shoulder. He set off down the hill searching for someplace to get away from the coming storm.
XOXOXO:
Kagome hopped over the ledge of the well and frowned at the ground. Unable to concentrate on her school work she had returned two days earlier than expected.
Ever since a certain braid haired mercenary had unexpectedly rescued her from that group of bandits, she hadn't been able to get him out of her mind.
She picked up her bag. 'Inuyasha and the others aren't here. At least this time they told me they would be gone until a day after I returned. They must still be helping Kaede clear out that latest hoard of demons.'
She set off into the forest. 'Why did Bankotsu rescue me? It was so… unlike him.'
Her feet automatically carried her forward, avoiding the roots and rocks. After nearly a year of traveling through it with Inuyasha and her friends she was used to the treacherous terrain.
Automatically her senses were alert enough to warn her if any demons were going to approach, but for some reason they seemed to stay away today.
She continued this way for many miles, lost in her own thoughts. She sighed and shook her head. 'He even held me while I cried and stroked my hair.' Her cheeks heated. 'He stayed with me that whole night just holding me and calming me down.'
She sighed and chewed her bottom lip. 'He was so well... almost sweet that night. I thought mercenaries never did anything without gaining something as payment?'
She frowned. 'Come to think of it… how did he even get revived again, and why?' She shrugged. 'It was a good thing for me that he did show up.'
Her mind filled with memories of that night, especially how quick he'd been to rescue her and how daring and sexy he'd looked while doing it. The violence she's witnessed as he beat the men to bloody pulps had stunned her, but it was quickly chased away with how concerned for her he'd seemed.
She stopped to adjust the bag on her shoulder so it wouldn't dig into her skin and shifted on her foot.
Loud thunder rolled across the darkening sky.
She blinked and looked up. 'Oi, what happened to the sun?'
She sighed. "Uh oh, looks like I had better find some shelter fast." Her eyes darted around looking for anywhere she could hide. 'A cave, thank goodness.' She shifted her bag and ran towards it.
Just outside of the cave she stopped and her breath hitched. Her hand lost its grip on her bag and the bag plopped to the ground. Twenty feet away stood her 'knight in shining armor' mumbling incoherently to himself.
Her heart lurched in her chest before kicking into overdrive. A warm glow spread throughout her body and her heart drummed against her chest, overriding all rational thought. Without hesitation she allowed her body to follow its instincts and ran towards him.
XOXOXO:
Bankotsu blinked and looked up when he heard a female voice calling out his name. 'Eh?' His muscles went rigid and his eyes widened.
He had just enough time to stab Banryu into the ground, before he felt something unexpectedly launch itself into his chest. He stumbled back a step from the force of the contact and stared at the girl. He frowned. 'Is she nuts?'
Kagome clamped her legs around his waist and started planting kisses on his face. Not satisfied by his lack of response, she decided to try a different tactic.
He blinked and felt her hands wrap around his neck. 'What the hell is she doing?' Her lips crashed against his. After getting over his shock, he smirked against her lips. One arm cupped her waist to raise her so that her thighs wrapped around his ribs, with his arm under her firm backside holding her weight. The other hand went to the back of her neck, pressing her mouth harder against his.
She gasped at the tingles in her lips. He pushed his tongue into her mouth, exploring every inch of her moist cavern before sliding his tongue against hers.
Tentatively she brushed her tongue against his, feeling tingles in her mouth when his tongue darted against hers again. She soon caught on as his tongue continued to tease and provoke hers into dancing with his. She blinked and then closed her eyes enjoying the unexpected kiss. Her cheeks flushed as he deepened the kiss.
He pulled back and smirked at her. "Well now, that was certainly unexpected. You must be real happy to see me, eh miko?"
Her cheeks bled a deeper pink and she un-wrapped her legs from around him.
He moved his arm from under her toned cheeks and she slowly slid down his body.
She stared at the ground and chewed her bottom lip. "Um... sorry about that."
"I'm not complaining." He grinned and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. He chuckled when she tried to hide her face with her hands.
Lightning flashed through the darkening sky and thunder grumbled. He blinked and looked up. 'Huh? Oh yeah the storm... I forgot about that.' He rubbed the back of his neck.
The sky opened up and fat rain drops pelted down on them.
She squeaked surprised by the intensity as the liquid fell harder.
Bankotsu picked up Banryu and put it on his shoulder. "Hurry up and get inside the cave. This storm is going to be a nasty one." His free hand slid to her lower back and pushed her towards the cave.
She gasped as the heat of his hand scorched her lower back. "Just let me get my bag first." She ran over to her bag and picked it up, before running back to his side.
He bit back a smug grin and ushered her inside. He surveyed the cave. "Looks like it should be big enough."
Stepping in after her he placed Banryu against the wall and carefully unlatched his armor. He dropped the armor beside his weapon.
She sat against the other wall and refused to meet his eyes. She stared at her hands in her lap. 'Why did I kiss him like that?'
Noticing her actions, he walked toward the middle of the cave and tossed the few remaining logs he'd found stored in the back into the pit. Bankotsu knelt by the pit and quickly had a nice small fire going.
He stared at the wet girl and shook his head. He clucked his tongue and then spoke with authority in his voice. "Take your clothes off."
Her eyes went wide as saucers and her hands went to her hips. "Excuse me?" Her eyes narrowed and her temper flared. "Now wait just a minute, pal - "
He gave a half hearted shrug. "If you stay in those wet clothes too long you will catch a cold." He pulled open his haori and hung it up over Banryu's blade to dry. "So get them off."
Her cheeks flamed when he turned around. His tanned chest gleamed with a thin sheet of liquid.
Her mouth nearly salivated at the tempting site of him. With his chest and abs bared, she could clearly see his defined abs. Kagome's eyes widened and her heart leapt.
Her tongue slipped out to slowly moisten her suddenly dry lips. She was unable to tear her eyes away or to even stop herself from staring at him. Her innocent eyes traced every indentation and slowly rose to his chest. She watched as it rose and fell with each steady breath. She took in his wide shoulders and fleetingly noticed his bulky biceps, before returning to his chest. Heat gathered low in her belly and her stomach quivered.
Bankotsu's mouth tilted at one corner as he watched her ogling him. 'Yup, I've still got it.' He waited for her eyes to lock onto his before he spoke. "Like what you see?" He deliberately raised a single eyebrow.
Her face burned a bright pink and she stared at the dirt. 'I can't believe he caught me checking him out.'
"You know miko," he flexed his biceps giving her a bit of a show. "Anytime you want to check me out, just say the word. I'll gladly give you an eye full." His eyes twinkled with mischief.
She stared at him slack jawed. Her face burned more and she swallowed several times, before regaining her voice. "You're so full of yourself." She placed the bag as a shield between them.
He grinned. 'Does she really expect that flimsy bag to somehow shield her from me? Tch as if.' He cocked one hand on his hip and shrugged a single shoulder. "Maybe, but with a body like this, you can bet that I can back it up too."
She rolled her eyes. "You're impossible."
Bankotsu leered at her. "Not for you." He winked.
She snorted and glared at him. "Turn around and don't you dare peek. If I catch you peeping…"
"Whatever, just hurry up already. I'm in no mood to tend a sick girl who was too stubborn to listen to my warning." He presented her with his naked back.
She eyed him warily for a few seconds and then pulled her wet shirt over her head.
He heard something soggy hit the dirt. He reached over and plucked his wet haori off Banryu, pretending to shake it out while he stared at her reflection on his blade as she undressed. 'Well, well, it seems she has been hiding quiet a body under those strange clothes of hers.'
Bankotsu noticed the flimsy thin looking black material that barely covered her ample chest and hips. His lips spread into a predatory grin. 'I bet I could tear that without even trying.' She bent over, unknowingly presenting him with a most enticing view of her firm ass in the air. His eyes widened and his tongue moistened his lips.
Desire burned low in his belly and spread down to his groin. His penis twitched and filled with blood, springing forth at full attention. 'I've got to get me some of that.'
Bankotsu watched her full breasts slightly sway while she slid off her strange green kimono and slipped on a thin looking, very large haori. His teeth sank into his lower lip, holding back a moan. He covered up Banryu. He covertly adjusted his fondushi so that it wasn't quite so constricting and cleared his throat.
She kicked her shoes off and hung her clothes over the large yellow bag. "You can turn around now."
He did so, glad that hakamas were so roomy and would therefore hide his erection from her innocent eyes. 'I will take care of that later.' He knew she was still untouched by a man and didn't want to spook her unnecessarily.
Bankotsu slowly sat beside the fire. His face lightly blushed when a loud rumbling filled the cave.
Kagome giggled. She pulled out several cups of instant ramen noodles and two sets of chopsticks.
He blinked and pointed to the cups. "What are those?"
She smiled. "You'll find out soon enough, but it's food."
His face scrunched up. "It better not taste like shit."
She inhaled a shocked breath. "Bite your tongue!"
He blinked. "Why would I do something like that?" His brows furrowed and he stared at her baffled.
She rolled her eyes. "It's just a saying… you know, an expression?"
He blinked a few times.
"Never mind." She shook her head and a small smile graced her lips.
Bankotsu snorted. "Whatever. When will this 'food' be done?"
She opened the cups and carefully poured the hot water into them. "In just a few more minutes."
"But I'm hungry now." He whined impatiently.
She giggled and took the first cup over to him. She broke apart the chopstick and held up a bite for him.
He sniffed the food testing to see if it was edible. His mouth watered at the savory aroma that assailed his nostrils.
Kagome watched amused as a speck of saliva polled at the corner of his lips. She reached up and wiped it away, before holding the bite of noodles up to his lips.
Bankotsu blinked and opened his mouth.
She pushed the food inside his mouth and he closed his lips.
Instantly his tongue was assaulted by an assortment of flavors, each one as appetizing as the next. Together they mingled nicely and created a very unique and enjoyable flavor. He rolled the noodles around his tongue enjoying the treat, before swallowing them.
She grinned as the classic love at first bite expression crossed the smug mercenary's face, making him appear deceptively docile… almost. "That's some pretty tasty shit, ne?"
His face became appalled. "Bite your tongue!"
Kagome burst out laughing.
He snatched the cup and chopsticks from her and started shoveling the food into his eager mouth, not even pretending to show any table manners.
She laughed harder and picked up her cup. She had just started to eat her own tasty meal, when she noticed the oppressive silence echoing throughout the cave. 'What happened to the loud slurping?'
She looked up to see a distraught mercenary glowering at his cup.
She blinked. "Is something wrong?"
"It's gone." He whispered in bewilderment. He tossed the offending cup into the fire and pouted like a child.
'Wow, he looks almost cute when he sulks.' She giggled and fixed him a fresh cup. "Don't worry. I have plenty."
He beamed and took the cup from her. "Thanks." He wasted no time in shoveling the food into his mouth and munching happily.
She shook her head grinning and then ate her food.
XOXOXO:
Bankotsu finished off his fourth cup and tossed the cup and chopsticks into the fire. He leaned back against the cave wall and laced his fingers behind his head. A smile of contentment crossed his lips.
Kagome's lips puckered and then blew on the noodles. She opened her mouth and slid the noodles inside.
He watched her mouth intently as she closed her lips. Pure unadulterated pleasure crossed her face as she savored the bite of food. A soft sigh escaped from her and sent his mind reeling with flashes of more stimulating ways she could use her mouth.
His fondushi became unbearably restrictive against his fully aroused appendage. His teeth sank into his bottom lip. 'This is one torture that I could definitely get used to.' His lips formed into a cocky smirk. 'I already know what I want and how to get it. So why not draw it out a little longer and savor the chase?'
Each bite the priestess took had her exhaling in pleasure. Bankotsu's boner twitched and moisture dribbled from the tip with every soft moan she made.
Outside blinding bolts of lightning rained from the roiling clouds in the ominous sky, dancing towards the ground. Thunder roared across the sky.
Kagome squeaked and dropped her nearly empty cup to the dirt floor. Her eyes widened and her breathing turned shallower. Her muscles tensed as she tried not to shake.
Another bolt of lightning danced across the sky and the thunder grew louder.
Kagome's face paled and she squeezed her eyes shut. Her arms wrapped around her waist and her lips slightly trembled.
Bankotsu tilted his head to one side and pursed his lips. 'Is she actually scared of the storm?' He blinked a few times and then watched her as the storm grew more turbulent. He rubbed his chin. 'Yup no doubt about it, the little miko is scared of that storm.'
He was in no mood to deal with a panicking girl, so he sighed heavily and slowly scooted over beside her. Without a word he wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled his nose against her hair.
Her body slumped against him and she buried her head in his warm chest. Her arms wrapped around him and she trembled in his arms.
His warm voice slid over her nerves soothing her. "It's okay." He buried his nose deeper into her hair and inhaled her sweet cherry blossom scent. His fingers stroked her hair and he continued murmuring to her.
She relaxed in his arms and focused on the rhythm of his heartbeat thumping against her ear. Absentmindedly her fingertip brushed against his chest.
Her warm breath drifted across his chest. His breath to hitched as heat pooled low in his loins.
After a while her lips pressed against his neck leaving shy kisses.
His spine stiffened before he relaxed and a muffled sound slipped past his lips.
Her palms were sweaty and she felt millions of tiny butterflies brushing the inside of her stomach. Feeling a little emboldened, she opened her mouth and shyly licked his neck.
His hand squeezed her hip slightly and he hissed.
She blinked and pulled back, chewing her bottom lip. "Did I hurt you?"
He chuckled and shook his side to side. He gently pushed her face to his neck again.
She smiled and did it again, this time adding a kiss and a light nibble.
He exhaled against her neck and lightly kissed her neck.
Her eyes slid shut as her neck tingled. A burning sensation started low in her belly.
He waited to gauge her reaction. When she didn't move to pull away or show any other signs of objection, he started planting butterfly kisses up and down her neck and nibbled her shoulder. His lips slowly made their way from her neck, to her chin and then to her mouth. He brushed his lips against hers.
She shivered though she didn't know if it was from anticipation or fear unknown. Her mouth opened in a quiet gasp.
He slithered his waiting tongue inside and explored her luscious mouth.
Kagome's hands went to his shoulders to try to center herself as her head filled with new and frightening, yet exhilarating sensations.
Bankotsu continued kissing her. His hand slipped into her hair, fusing their mouths together. With each second that passed, he drew her deeper into the raging inferno of his kiss.
She moaned and kissed him back.
He continued kissing her while his free hand slid up and down her back in slow movements. After a few minutes his hand circled around to dance along her rib cage.
The feeling of his calloused palm gliding along her soft skin had her skin tingling everywhere he touched. A shiver ran through her.
He slanted his mouth deepening the kiss. His fingertip slowly ran up her arm causing the flesh to goose pimple behind it. He slowly repeated the motion descending to her elbow.
Hours later she laid her head over his heart and waited for her mind to work again.
His hand absentmindedly stroked her hip and his other hand pillowed behind his head. Grinning like a sexually satisfied male, he stared at her passion flushed face.
Her eyes opened and locked to his. She kissed his chest and then rose up to kiss his mouth.
He blinked and closed his eyes opening for her soft tongue to slip inside.
She began exploring his mouth as he had hers earlier. She enjoyed the tingles invading her body as her nipples rubbed against his chest and his hand rubbed along her hip. She pulled back and smiled at him amazed at how tender the rough mercenary had been with her.
He smirked at her satisfied expression and continued running his fingers along the curve of her hip.
She blushed and her eyes roamed his delectable masculine flesh.
He grinned pleased by her blatant perusal and encouraged her without words, to run her hand over his chest and down his abdomen.
As her hands traced the dips of his chiseled abs, she grew bolder and followed the same path with her tongue.
He blinked pushing up on his elbows to watch her and relished the site as her silky tongue traced his stomach.
He briefly noted that the storm outside had lulled to a soft pitter pat of raindrops falling against the ground, before his senses filled with what she was doing to his eager body. His senses narrowed until he could only feel the sensations she was creating inside him.
An hour later their minds hazed over and they reached that orgasmic paradise together. Their bodies shook with powerful tremors as they collapsed exhausted and rolled onto their sides.
He curled protectively around her, pushing his thighs against hers.
She closed her eyes and practically purred her satisfaction as she kissed his arm.
He nuzzled his against the back of her neck and softly kissed the skin. He held her as she drifted to sleep in his arms. He closed his eyes enjoying the sheer feeling of bliss as he watched the tired miko sleep.
The heavy feeling in his chest by the tree had melted away and was replaced by light, gentle warmth as he watched her chest rise and fall.
Hours later his eyelids became heavy and he followed her into a peaceful slumber.
XOXOXO:
A/N: I hope you enjoy reading it. I know I had fun writing it! XD
P.S. I have every intention of expanding this into a fully chaptered fic once I have completed some of my current fics. But for now it'll stay up as a one shot :D
I have however decided to go ahead and include a preview of the next chapter:
Next time on SKS:
Morning comes and the two teenagers find themselves reluctant to have their night end. Before either can say anything about their night together, an unexpected visitor makes her presence known and answers how and why Bankotsu was resurrected again. She also explains what task lies before them and why they must work together with the Inutachi in order to avoid a devastating future for both worlds...
