Bankotsu sighed and took a seat next to Sango who sat down too. She stared at him and watched as he buried his head in his hands. He looked hurt like he needed comfort. She hesitantly placed her hand on his back. He stiffed then all of a sudden her hand went right throw him. She gasped her eyes going wide.

"Don't touch me," he growled through his hands. She glared at him.

"Fine," she growled back turning away from him. She heard him growl then sigh.

"I'm sorry I just haven't been touched in a while and your hand kind of irked me," he said. She turned back towards him but didn't make any eye contact with him. It was silent. Sango opened her mouth to speak but he beat her to it.

"What are you doing here?" he asked he didn't sound as mean as before but she could still hear the bite in his tone. She crossed her arms over her chest. She put her nose in the air with such arrogance it would have make Inuyasha proud.

"I don't need to answer to a zombie," she said. He shot up his hand balled up into a tight fist and came down to hit her face. She gasped and covered her head. She felt a tingle run through body but no crash of his fist and no pain. She moved her hands. He was hovering over her. He grabbed her by her night gown and pulled her up so that she was nose to nose with him.

"I am not a ZOMBIE!" he hissed through clenched teeth. She swallowed as she grabbed his wrist. They were firm and warm just like anyone else's wrist. He didn't feel dead now that she noticed it.

"Um… did you hit me?" she asked as she rubbed his wrist. He watched her as she continued to rub his wrist for no reason. His eyebrow was arched in confusion.

"No if I had hit you, you would probably be unconscious right now," he said as he lowered her back onto the bed. She nodded.

"Then what just happened?" she asked. He sighed and released her completely. His hand went transparent. He placed it in front of her face before he pushed it through her cheek and to the other side. She gasped feeling the same tingle go through her body. He sat back on the bed.

"What's your name?" he asked suddenly. She was caught in a daze and really hadn't heard his question. She looked at him. He wasn't glaring at her but he didn't look like he was about to start smiling anytime soon.

"Huh?" she asked. He rolled his eyes.

"Are you a little slow?" he asked arching an eyebrow at her. She glared at him.

"Funny," she said sarcastically. Then he did the closest thing to a smile that she was sure she was going to get. His lips tugged up slightly to the left.

He smirked.

"It wasn't a joke," he said. She couldn't help but smile. She would let him off the hook for that one but not the next time. They sat in silence for a moment.

"So what's your name?" he asked again.

"Oh Sango, Sango Taijiya," she said holding out her hand to him. He looked at it before he took it in a firm hand shake. She didn't complain though. He let go of her hand and stood up. He went to the window and stared out of it. They sat in silence again before he turned towards her.

"Do you want to tell me why your here now?" he asked. She sighed.

"It's this little college vacation thing," she said. He nodded in understanding.

"You're having a vacation in my house," he said. It was of course a statement more than a question. He had his hands on his hips in an attitude type way and she didn't like it. Boy, he was grumpy.

"Well no one is really living here. It is kind of just an old, empty…" she eyed him "haunted mansion," she finished. He rolled his eyes. He didn't like people in his house and he wanted them gone so if he had to "haunt" his house to keep people away that was what he was going to do.

"When are you leaving?" he asked. He heard her suck her teeth.

"In a few weeks do you think you can play nice for that long? We won't mess anything up in your nice house and we'll leave everything the way it was when we first came," she said her arms crossed over her chest and a look on her face that said she could care less weather or not he said yes or no. He glared at her.

"Girls now days really have attitudes don't they? Or is that just you?" he asked. She glared back at him.

"I only give attitude when I get attitude," she snapped back. They glared at each other for what seemed like hours. He smirked as he eyed her.

"I like your pajamas," he said. She gasped as she quickly grabbed the blankets and covered herself. She was wearing a nice short night gown that Miroku had bought her for her birthday. It was dark red and stopped just below her groin. It was V cut showing plenty of cleavage and spaghetti strapped. She was only supposed to wear it for Miroku but she could never wear such a thing in front of him. She only wore it because it was hot it had to be 90 degrees outside and the heat was on. It also came with a nice robe to match.

"Who you trying to seduce with that?" he asked still smirking at her. She glared at him but couldn't help to blush.

"My boyfriend," she said. Bankotsu looked around the room.

"Well? Where's the lucky guy at?" he asked.

"H-He's not coming. I don't want to seduce him yet,"

"Then why you wearing that?" he asked. She glared at him.

"Why are you asking so many questions? Can I ask you some questions?" she asked. He sighed and sat down on the bed. He flinched when his hand brushed up against what he was guessing was her knee. She smiled at him for some unknown reason and turned a little bit more towards him.

"So as a ghost do you get hungry?"

"No,"

"Thirsty?"

"No,"

"Sleepy?"

"No,"

"Stinky?"

"No,"

"Horny?" He gave her a look that said 'Are you serious?'

"What do you think?" he asked.

"No," she said. It was silent.

"Well I better get to bed," said Sango. Bankotsu stood up.

"Right you do that and I'm going to go do what I've been doing for the past 5 years," he said walking towards the door. Sango stood up.

"Well maybe you can stay with me this bed is big enough for the two of us, and I would feel better if you weren't by yourself since you know you have been alone for the past 5 years you know if you want to. You don't have to stay with me if you don't want to and even though you can't sleep you can still lie with me," she rambled on and on. Bankotsu smiled for the first time in 5 years as he watched her talk and blush and mess with her very sexy night gown. She stopped talking when she noticed him smiling at her. She smiled back her blush darkening.

"Sure Sango I'll stay with you," he said as he walked to the other side of the bed. Sango got in the bed first then Bankotsu followed suit they laid there for a minute in silences.

"This is my first time being in a bed with a guy," said Sango

"So your a virgin," he stated looking at her a smirk gracing his lips. She blushed as she mentally kicked herself she walked right into that one. She looked at him.

"And your not?" she asked. He shook his head.

"Of course not. I got some when I was alive," he said smirking at her still.

"How old were you when you died?" she asked. He looked away and it was silent for a minute.

"17 but my 18th birthday was coming up in September," said Bankotsu.

"So you would be like 22 right now?" she asked turning on her side to fully face him. He nodded.

"Yeah something like that," he sighed. He smirked. "That isn't too big of an age gap is it?" he asked. Sango blushed and turned back onto her back.

"Um what are you trying to say?" she asked

"I'm trying to say that if we meant before I died would you get at me?" he asked all the while giving her a very sexy and flirtatious smirk.

"Get at you?" she asked arching a questioning eye brow at him. He smiled and pushed his self up on an elbow facing her.

"Would you go out with me even though were a few years apart?" he asked. She blushed again.

"We just meant," she said turning her head away from him so he wouldn't see her blush.

"I'm not asking you to be my girl now I was just wondering if we had meant 5 years ago before I was killed," he said lying back down. She would have only been like 13 five years old anyway she was just about to say that when something hit her. Now Sango popped up on an elbow a shocked look on her face.

"What?" he asked

"You were killed?" she asked

"Yeah that old woman didn't tell you that?" he asked

"Professor Kaede?" she asked

"Yeah she's been doing all kinds of investigative work on me and the house and all that but its whatever," he said.

"Who killed you?" asked Sango now way to interested. Bankotsu got a hurt look on his face.

"Can we talk about something else?" he almost whispered

"Sure," she said softly

The Next Morning…

Sango rolled over and froze feeling her hand land on something firm. She opened one eye and shot up seeing Bankotsu lying next to her. He smiled and she smiled back. Here she thought that she would never see him smile and now he's smiling all the time.

"The maid knocked on the door and said that breakfast was ready," he said sitting up. She sat up too.

"How long ago was that?" she asked standing up and stretching.

"'Bout 5 minutes ago," he said. She nodded as she grabbed her robe. She walked towards the door as she put it on.

"Hey," he said stopping her right before she left. She stopped and turned around to look at him. He smirked.

"Why didn't you blush?" he asked. She shrugged.

"It's not like you can get a boner or anything," she said with another shrug. He pouted. Even though he didn't know her very well he was feeling to get a little close with her. He missed it the touch of a woman. He missed every thing about a woman even a woman's nagging. He missed every thing about life and he so badly wished he was living again.

He sighed and rolled over. It wasn't fair! Why couldn't he just move on like any normal dead person? What was keeping him here to suffer? He couldn't feel or taste and even though those are only two out of five senses it was driving him crazy. Last night when Sango was sleep he couldn't feel the softness of her arm or cheek lucky she didn't wake up. He had to endure it for only 5 years image what those ghosts that live for 1000s of years have to go through. He was guessing he was going to have to get use to it.

Sango yawned as she entered the dinning room. She wasn't surprised to see everyone already there eating. Kikyo and Ayame looked up at her and smiled she smiled back at her two best friends. Ayame patted the seat next to her.

"Hey Sleeping Beauty where have you been?" asked Ayame

"Sorry guys I was up all night talking to Bankotsu," said Sango. The table went silent.

"Bankotsu?" asked Ayame

"We have a kid that goes to our school named Bankotsu?" asked Inuyasha

"You were up all night with him?" asked Miroku who shot up from his seat. Sango ignored everyone but Ayame.

"Bankotsu Shichinintai the boy that is haunting this mansion," she explained as if she was talking about how to make tea. Inuyasha began laughing.

"You want us to believe you were up all night talking to a ghost who is haunting this mansion?" he asked all the while laughing. Sango glared at him. Ayame looked at Kikyo who just nodded.

"Why not believe her it's true," said a deep voice near the entrance of the dinning room. Everyone looked up. Sango smiled. There he stood the man she talked to all night long. He was leaning against the frame his arms crossed over his chest. He had that look on his face that said he really didn't want to be bothered, but he wasn't glaring. He eyed everyone sitting at his table. His eyes landed on Sango and he smirked at her. She blushed slightly at the flirtatious smirk he was sending her.

"Bankotsu Shichinintai," whispered Kaede Bankotsu's head snapped to her. The old woman stood up.

"I heard that you were still here in this mansion but I didn't believe it. That's why I placed Sango in your room," she said as she walked towards him. Her hands laced behind her back. Bankotsu stood up straight and tiled his head at her.

"Me? Why me? Kikyo's the ghost person here," said Sango.

"I knew that you two would get along just fine if he found you in his room," she said.

"He probably would have gotten along with Kikyo just fine too," said Sango

"Kikyo would have sent him to the after life," said Kaede as she stopped right in front of Bankotsu. Bankotsu arched an eyebrow.

"She can do that?" asked Bankotsu

"I can do a lot of things," said Kikyo. Bankotsu smirked.

"I like the way that sounds," he said. Inuyasha glared at him and was about to open his mouth when Kaede cleared her throat.

"I'm sure you remember everything from your life?" she asked. Bankotsu's face suddenly became serious and he glared down at her.

"Yeah I do," he said.

Kaede smirked.

Kinda makes you wonder what she's up to…
