Four years later…

Kagome now five years of age going on six was wandering throughout the forest of Inuyasha when she swore she heard someone nearby. she ran towards the sound only to find a young boy a little older than her laying against the thousand year old tree. he had beautiful black hair tied into a braid that just passed his also had a star like mark on his forehead that was a purplish color. he wore and almost all white haori with a blue belt in the middle. this boy entranced Kagome she moved towards him to find that he was sleeping peacefully. she decided to sit next to him and wait till he awoke to talk to him.

Having lived with lady Kikyo she was very patient and quiet. she sat next to the boy just waiting for him to awaken but she was getting quite bored so she decided to make little animals out of the grass. but even making the little creatures didn't satiate her boredom for long so she decided to practice her miko powers. she tried creating a barrier around a patch of grass but failed. she continued doing this for a while until she noticed a pair of eyes glaring at her.

" oh um i'm sorry if i bothered you but i didn't want to leave you here by yourself there are many demons in this forest. " Kagome stated to him. then, she got up and bowed and prepared to leave when he grabbed her wrist.

" i didn't say you could leave. you didn't even tell me your name thats pretty rude for a miko like yourself. " he told her looking annoyed at her almost.

"oh im very sorry my name is Kagome but im not a miko just yet i still have a lot of training to do and plenty of growing up to do. um if you don't mind me asking but what is your name?" Kagome blurted most of this out due to the surprise she had gotten when he grabbed her wrist.

" They call me Bankotsu. why were you watching me i can take care of demons easily. " Bankotsu stated whilst glaring daggers at her.

" i-i um i didn't want you to be eaten for the demons here are stronger than others. " Kagome stammered "humph i see if thats true then why are you here by yourself?" Bankotsu questioned.

" i was um i was…. " Kagome looked down

" you were what? spill it already! "

" it's none of your business! leave me alone! " she stood up and started walking back towards her home.

Bankotsu watched her walk away this reminded him too much of his past. it reminded him of all the people who left his life again and again. he couldn't stand it he had to stop her she was already pissed off at him but he couldn't stand another person leaving his life again. He jumped up and ran after her.

"WAIT!!" he grabbed her shoulders panting " Don't go i'm sorry for getting mad at you and prying. You don't have to tell me why you came to the forest." he whispered while crumpling down on the ground holding her arm " just don't leave… please."

" I-I I won't leave you. Don't worry." she crouched down and spoke softly " c'mon i'll take you to my home for tonight" she stood up again offering a hand out to him. " let's go."
Bankotsu looked up at her and took her hand. they left for her home but what was weird to him was that they had only talked for a few hours and yet… it felt like they had known each other for a lifetime. he was happy it was the first time in a long time that he had felt this way towards another… it felt good.
