Note: this is a Sesshoumaru and Bankotsu fiction, don't like, then please don't bother reading, because I don't want to hear it.
Disclaimer: I don't own any Inuyasha, as should be known from all the disclaimers from my other 5 Inuyasha fics.
Content warning: this is a YAOI between Sesshoumaru and Bankotsu. This means that they are both males, and they will be performing explicit….actions.
Rating: Rated R for Language, Imagery, and Adult Themes/scenes.
Category: This will be a Romance with Angst. Other stuff as well, but those are the biggest two categories.
Chapter 3: Proximity
"Okay, Inuyasha, you have some explaining to do!" Kagome screeches after a couple of minutes of silence amongst the party.
"About?" the hanyou questions nonchalantly.
"About… hmm… let's see… where we're going… oh.. and why we're helping Bankotsu… you can't just ignore me and deem to get away with it! That is ABSOLUTELY not going to happen, mister… you had better get to explaining to me now… NOW!"
"Stop pacing, then…" Inuyasha sighs.
"Fine!" She screeches, plopping down across from him, and yet still glaring daggers at his bowed head.
"It's not your concern." He answers simply, lying back on the ground with a yawn.
"WHAT?!" she was in outrage, and about to begin further questioning when Miroku intervened.
"Just drop it, Kagome. It's inu-customs ground you are treading upon right now, and if you can't figure it out on your own, or you don't already know by now, it's not proper to speak on such topics near you, I'm afraid. " he eloquently reproaches her, assisted by a silent nod from Sango.
"That's why I haven't asked, though I myself am most curious as to what the subject would be…" She trailed off of the conversation, eyes distant as though in thought.
"FINE!" The miko yelled, throwing her hands in the air in a last attempt at a power struggle.
"Eat your lunch, we need to be leaving soon. It's almost finished…" Inuyasha suddenly commands.
"Hai…" Miroku obliges, staring expectantly at the miko.
"Yeah yeah…" Kagome goes into her bag.

"what… was that?" Bankotsu questioned the male he'd just bonded with as he works to catch his breath.
"Inu customs…" Sesshoumaru shortly replied, his eyes closed, and his breathing slightly quickened.
"Thanks for that…" Bankotsu sarcastically bites, glaring out the window to his right. If the other was going to be an asshole, then he'd be an asshole too.
"*sigh* it's … complicated… inuyoukai… well… we can only mark one person outside of a mating season, and that person is the most treasured, as they are the one person in all of existence that was ever meant to truly be a compatible mate. We are supposed to watch for the formation after a mark, and – if there is one – we are to supply them with power and the sating of their carnal desires – though those only come if they aren't a demon - as they transform to the being that is most compatible with the marker. I.. however… failed in that duty for once, as I've been through many a mating season, and in the hundreds of years that I've searched, I've never found just that person… and … I'm sorry… for myself, and for the pain that I've caused you… I truly thought you were a demon, as you're so… well… ruthless." His voice went quieter at the end of that statement.
Bankotsu smirked. "Awww! You're so humble." He mocked the taiyoukai. "I forgive you…" He turns to his left to kiss Sesshoumaru's cheek.
"Heh…" The demon chuckled, before a scent caught his nose… "You… you conceived quite quickly…" It was now Sesshoumaru's turn to smirk.
"Shutup.. it runs in the family…" Bankotsu blushed.
"I'm glad…" And glad he was.
The inu world now had a perfect mating, and there would be a chance for them to restore their dwindled numbers. Yet, more importantly, the Ice prince now had a perfect match, someone that could bring out the best in his sometimes sardonic nature.
