Recall

Suikotsu sighed… again. Jail was kind of boring. There was nothing to do but sit there and feel sorry for yourself. Fun.

His ears pricked at a scrambling noise on the floor. He looked down and squealed as a mouse scurried across his cell.

"And thus, the name Squeaky comes in!"

Suikotsu heard Jakotsu's voice from the other cell. He grumbled something before lying down on his cot, which was very uncomfortable by the way. His mind began to think of ways to get out of this place, even thought that was Renkotsu's job.

With a sigh of defeat, he turned over on his side and closed his eyes. He might as well get some sleep. There would be plenty of thing time tomorrow.


Chapter 3: Breaking Out


"Bankotsu…Bankotsu…"

"BANKOTSU!"

"Huh? What?" Bankotsu snapped out of his unusual thinking. He never took the time to think… ever. Bankotsu glanced from his cot that he was lying on to see Suikotsu grinning down at him. "What?"

"Is Bankotsu sad because his girlfriend arrested him?" Suikotsu teased in a babyish voice.

Bankotsu snorted and rolled onto his side, closing his eyes. "No. And she's not my girlfriend. We broke up a long time ago, remember?"

"Yeah, but why? You two seemed so happy…" Suikotsu asked.

Bankotsu opened his eyes. "She got pissed off at me and broke up with me. I don't even know what I did!"

"Then why don't you try asking her?" Suikotsu suggested.

"She'll just get mad again; she won't wanna talk about it."

"Oh, quit being such a baby and talk to her already. Seeing as she's moved on, she shouldn't get mad."

Bankotsu's eye twitched, which thankfully went unnoticed to Suikotsu. She's moved on. Bankotsu groaned and put the pillow on top of his face. So why can't I move on, then? But Suikotsu's right, Sango should listen this time…

He decided that he would give it a try; he didn't have anything else to loose.

He glanced up as Sango walked through the door. Perfect timing! he thought. Sango walked over to the bars.

"Hey, Bankotsu. Ok, so you go to court in three days, can you get a lawyer by then?"

"I need to talk to you," Bankotsu said, taking a deep breath. "As much as I don't want to bring this up, I really need to know this."

"And what's that?" she asked.

Bankotsu took another deep breath, "I need to know why you broke up with me. It's been nagging at me ever since."

Bankotsu saw her cringe, but kept a straight face. "Again with that, huh?" she mumbled.

"Again with what!" Bankotsu demanded. "I want to know exactly what I did!"

"You broke up with me, that's what you did!" she shouted.

"What are you talking about? You broke up with me!" Bankotsu shouted back.

"Oh, so that note was just a funny joke then, was it?" she snapped.

"What the hell are you talking about? What note?" he shouted.

"The note that you put in my locker that said you wanted to brake up with me! That note!" she screamed.

Bankotsu backed down, dumbfounded. "W-what?" he stuttered.

"Oh, don't play dumb Bankotsu. You sent me that note because you didn't have the guts to brake up with me in person! And you didn't even tell me why!"

"That's because I had no reason to! I never sent you any note!" Bankotsu shouted, his voice echoed in the room. By now the two had Jakotsu, Suikotsu, and Renkotsu's undivided attention.

"Stop lying to me!" Sango shouted.

"I'm not- what's that?" he asked suddenly.

"Huh?" she was struck with surprise. She glanced down to were he was pointing. "Nothing," she mumbled, hiding her hand behind her back.

"Oooooohhhhh!" Jakotsu said, a bit too caught up in the moment. Everyone glared at him. "Sorry!" he whispered.

"That's a ring… you're engaged to him, aren't you!" Bankotsu accused.

"So what if I am, what do you care anyway?" she snapped.

"I could care less!" Bankotsu mumbled. "I just can't believe you would actually marry that loser! Do you know how many times I've seen him with another girl in high school? I wouldn't be surprised if he was with another girl right now…"

Sango's eyes welled up with tears. "You're wrong!" she screamed. "Miroku wouldn't do that! He's not that kind of person!"

"Oh no? So were is he then?" Bankotsu questioned. Sango didn't say anything and looked at the ground. "You don't even know, do you? I bet I know. In some room with some random girl…"

"Stop it! Why do you keep making my life so miserable?" Sango screamed. Her eyes seemed to rip his very heart out. "I hope you rot in that cell!" She turned and took off, not even bothering to close the door.

"Smooth, real smooth Bankotsu…" Suikotsu mumbled after a long period of silence.

Bankotsu groaned. It's not like he was intentionally hurting Sango's feelings, he just was angry and frustrated, causing his kind words that he had so carefully planned out to come out as a tangled mess. Now what was he supposed to do?

"So… is she mad at you then?" Jakotsu asked.

Bankotsu gave him the "what the hell do you think?" look. Jakotsu looked down at the ground again. Suddenly Bankotsu heard a noise. It sounded like… scraping…

He looked over to the only window in the room. There was a hand that was cutting the glass with a knife. Bankotsu raised an eyebrow. "What the…" then an all to familiar face popped up.

"Oushi!" Bankotsu hissed. "What are you doing here?"

The teen who was only a little older than Bankotsu smirked. "I'm busting you out, what else? The boss said you can't be in jail until you get us the rest of those weapons."

"Gee, thanks. I can tell he really cares about us," Bankotsu rolled his eyes.

"Relax, it's better than being trapped in a cage for the next few years, ain't it?" Oushi muttered, the knife in his mouth as he climbed through the window.

He walked over to Bankotsu's cell and began picking the lock with the knife. "I thought security would be at least a little more challenging. The only fun part was sneaking past the guards at the gate!"

Bankotsu once again thought back to his and Sango's fight. At the moment, he was actually glad that they had the fight, because if she were still here, Oushi would kill her in a split second.

But he was still upset. She was actually treating him like a sort of friend, until he went and blew that too.

"Got it!" Oushi hollered, not to loud though.

Bankotsu felt his sadness slowly leave and refilled with excitement. He was… free.


Dum Dum Dummmm! What will happen next? Well, I've got most of it planned out in my head.
