"Well you see.. That's um…" She tried to explain to her overly angry brother, before being interrupted by the call that saved her life. "Dinner time!" A maid yelled from the dining room. "Yay food!" Inuyasha chimed completely forgetting Bankotsu's existence. "I guess dinner time guess.." Kagome sweat dropped at her brother's childishness towards food.

Everyone was soon sitting down at the table with the ordering as followed: InuTasho at the head of the table, to his left Sesshomaru followed by Kagome, Bankotsu, than Sango. To InuTasho's right: an empty chair, Inuyasha, Rin, Kohaku. Everyone ate normally enjoying the lovely food set out before them. "Oh! Kagome, I see you've got a new 'friend' here tonight.." The head of the house hold grinned. "Yes daddy, this is my friend Bankotsu, he was kind enough to give me a ride home today from school. So I returned the favor by inviting him to dinner." She explained to her father who seemed all to interested in his daughter's new friend. "So when can I expect grandchildren!"

Everyone at the table seemed to stay calm like this was an everyday thing, except Kagome. "Dad! It's not…." She was cut of by Bankotsu who seemed to magically get next to InuTasho. "Father, I will do my best to take care of your girl, and bring you many grandchildren!" Everyone laughed, well almost everyone, Sesshomaru continued eating the same impassive look never leaving his face, Kagome with checks of fire, and Inuyasha who just twitched. "Very good my boy!" Once the laughter dyed down and Bankotsu returned to his seat, Kagome kicked him with a small glare he just shrugged.

Dinner soon finished and Sango and Kohaku said their goodbyes heading home, while the Taiyouki family and Bankotsu headed toward the den. "So Bankotsu tell me about you family!" InuTasho exclaimed excited to have knowledge. "Well…" Bankotsu looked to Kagome who sat right next to him on the small couch, her father across from him in a chair, and Inuyasha, Rin and Sesshomaru on the larger couch. "My parent's dyed after I was born… And I am the youngest of seven boys… First is Kyokotsu, then Ginkotsu, Mukotsu, Suikotsu, Renkotsu, Jakotsu, and myself." Everyone except Kagome looked a little surprised. "Wow, that's a lot of brothers!" Rin grinned from her place in-between her own brothers. "Yeah, but it's been pretty okay… We've learned to take care of ourselves. And we live nicely." InuTasho nodded in understanding. "What do your brother's do for a living?" Sesshomaru asked unexpectedly. "Well Kyokotsu as well as Ginkotsu are detectives… Mukotsu…Let's not go into that, Suikotsu is a doctor, and my brother Renkotsu, Jakotsu and I work a restaurant my parents owned before they died." Sesshomaru nodded excepting their jobs. "Well it's getting late. Bankotsu why don't you stay the night. It is Friday after all, and we have plenty of room!" He nodded in acceptance.

Kagome exited her personal bathroom straight into her main room. "Damn you took forever." Bankotsu said from his place on her bed. "Ban!" She gasped, pulling her towel tightly around her. "What are you doing in my room!" He shrugged and left his laying position for a sitting one, looking over her body carefully. "Your dad told me to wait for you in your room." She sighed, knowing he wasn't lying, because it was something her father would actually do. "Fine, we'll talk in a minute, just get out while I dress!" He obliged and left her to herself while she changed into her pajamas.

After a few minutes opened her door to find Bankotsu now in a pair of black pajama pants and a black 'wife-beater'. "Um.." Just as the first time they met Kagome was trapped looking at him, this time because she could see his muscled flesh. "Come in…" She lead him in, and he went to sit on her bed, watching her as she did the same. "You look so hot!" Bankotsu smirked as blushed at being scantly dressed in front of him, after all she was only wearing a pair of blue short-shorts and a white tank-top. "Thanks…" She muttered sitting herself down next to him with a yawn. "So what's up?" She asked as she began to run the brush through her wet hair. "Just wanted to talk.. An' junk.." He watched her run the brush through he wet mane. "Here…" He went and sat behind her putting her between his legs, and snatching the brush from her. "Let me.." He mimicked the actions she had been doing moments before. "Ban.." Her checks were flushed, and she knew he could see it do to the cursed mirror that hung directly in front of them. "Kagome, no need to be shy." She didn't respond.

"All done!" He smirked in victory. "You were blushing so hard Kagome, I'd love to see how you'd look if we-" He was cut off when she turned around and tackled him, pinning him down. "Don't even go there!" He grinned. "I didn't know you like being on top!" With little to no effort her had her down beneath him. "But…" He brought his head low, next to her ear. "I prefer to feel you beneath me" She gulped, her checks flaming more than Jakotsu. "Ban.." She felt him nip her ear, and come up to look at the expression she wore. "Mm.. Now this would be the kind of blushing I was talking about almost as if we…" He was cut of by a pillow to the face and Rin tapping her foot beside the bed. "Bankotsu it is bed time." He looked at the younger girl with a grin, before escaping to his room. "Thanks Rin!" She smirked slightly. "Kagome better be good.. Or else she'll end up married." With that Rin left the room.

"Damn them…" She growled, pushing herself under the covers and turning her bed side lap off. "I guess Rin's right don't want daddy to…." She mumbled as she drifted off into the land of the sleeping. Little did she know, far off someone was planning something.

"Is tomorrow's meeting in store father?" Asked a young man with long dark hair tied back. "Yes Kouga, my good friend Tasho has said we can come over to meet his daughter anytime." Another male, older, with dark hair dripping down his back spoke fluently. "But he made a deal, you have to make his daughter fall for you in order to make this work. We also made the agreement, our companies would not come into this." The younger of the two just smirked. "She'll fall for me, don't worry.
