I do not own Inuyasha!!
Chapter 2: The Findings
Last Time:
Kagome and Bankotsu sat there until she had calmed down. He ran his fingers through her long raven hair. He didn't know what to do; all he could do for her was wait until she was ready to head back home.
"It's been three years, Kagome." The words blurted out of his mouth.
He didn't mean to say the words it just came out. He looked away hoping she wasn't paying attention to him as she usually did.
"I know," Kagome rubbed her eyes, "I just miss them that's all."
"Ya, I guess I somewhat miss the challenges once in a while." He sighed and let Kagome out of his embrace.
"That's nice to hear." She tried to smile.
He looked at her with a serious expression on his face. "It's not good for you to always be crying, in your condition, I'm just worried that you're going to hurt yourself."
She smiled and grabbed him by the arm and began to walk in the feminine man's direction. He sighed and then realized that he forgot his sword, so he went back to retrieve it. Then he tossed his sword onto his shoulder and with the other arm he wrapped it around her waist.
"Brother. Where's Kagome?" Jakotsu wondered.
"Sleeping still, I think." Bankotsu yawned.
"You can't think, you should know." Jakotsu yelled.
"Jakotsu, shut up." A man hollered from the other side of the house.
"But Renkotsu, Bankotsu shouldn't think, he SHOULD know were she is or not." He hollered at the fire wielder.
Renkotsu got up and walked out of the cave upset. An older man walked in half asleep rubbing his eyes. Jakotsu on the other hand was trying to do his best at making everybody mad as usual.
"Where is the beautiful woman at?" the old man asked.
"She hates it when YOU call her that, Mukotsu." Jakotsu swayed towards Kagome's room.
"But SHE is BEAUTIFUL." Mukotsu tried to convince Jakotsu.
"But when you say it. It sounds completely wrong." Bankotsu started to polish his huge sword.
"Morning." Kagome sighed.
All the men in the room looked at Kagome in confusion. Jakotsu started to laugh while Mukotsu started to scoot towards Kagome. She sighed again when she realized her mistake.
"Good Afternoon to you too." Bankotsu smiled his boyish smile.
She walked over to Bankotsu, so that she was away from the perverted old man. Jakotsu couldn't stop laughing at the stupid remark. So he walked out of the room.
"Are you leaving to go train again?" Kagome asked innocently.
"Huh, oh ya I was going to but if you don't want me to I wont." He looked at her.
"No, no it's okay. Go right ahead it won't bother me." She sighed.
He just looked at her, not knowing what to do. Then just then a man with green stripes across his face walked in through the doorway. He held a small basket with some herbs hanging out the sides.
"What the hell is that horrible smell!" Jakotsu's voice echoed through out the house.
Everybody who was near the green stripe faced man had plugged their noses in horror of the stench. They all got up from their positions and ran for the door.
"What's all their problems?" he asked himself.
BACK OUTSIDE
"Well I guess I'm going to go train after all." Bankotsu started to head out.
"Let me come with you." Kagome demanded.
"You might get hurt and I don't want that to happen, so you can stay." He crossed his arms over his chest.
"Why?" she asked.
"I told you, so it's final." He then walked away.
Bankotsu soon disappeared passed the trees. Kagome just stood their dumbfounded on what he told her. He wasn't her father so why should she listen to him but then again he was something else to her.
"This isn't fair he has never taken me with him for the past three years." Kagome began to pout.
"Because he's not training. For one he doesn't need to train that much." Jakotsu sighed when he exited his home.
"What are you talking about? Why would he lie to me?" Kagome became confused.
"He usually goes to see a woman… " Renkotsu stated.
"WHAT!" Kagome started to develop tears in her eyes.
"…Not like that, Kagome," Suikotsu said, "she's been dead for about 21 years now. Gone, but not like us."
"Oh." Kagome relaxed.
