Fair warning: this chapter has some pretty dark scenes in it and several lighter ones. So, I'll say it again. If you have a weak stomach, or are not old enough to read adult content. Stop now. Otherwise, enjoy the chapter. We've added a lot of twists to it.

Chapter Four:
Kera sat on the edge of her bed and stared at her boyfriend a long, silent moment, worrying her bottom lip with her teeth. Releasing a long, drawn out breath, she gathered the courage to broach a discussion they'd both put off long enough.
"Not talking about it isn't going to keep them away, ya know?" She calmly placed her phone aside. "We need a solid game plan, Jas. And to decide if we want to let the others know what's coming so they aren't taken by surprise." She stared into his eyes.
Jason licked his cheek. A habit she noticed he did when he was thinking. He usually told her not to worry about it, but now wasn't the time to placate her worries. It was time to start taking action.
"They know where you live. No matter how large their numbers, they wouldn't plan a public strike. They'd stalk us until they've got their moment."
Kera nodded. "Exactly what I was afraid of. They're coming here." She didn't want her home turned into a war zone, but it could very well be what they would face. That's why she was glad Souta had another Soccer tournament come up. She slowly inhaled a deep breath. Hiding their heads in the sand would only leave them vulnerable to what they both knew was inevitable.
Umbra was coming.
"They'll be watching us. All of us." She hugged her knees to her chest and rested her chin on top of them. A habit she often did when she felt unsure. "What are we gonna do?"
"We're going to take a car and walk deep into the woods. I'll place a camera and a bomb in the car."
She blinked at Jason and wondered what he intended for that. It would be a distraction, but it would also alert Umbra's forces that they knew of their presence, which could quickly make things pretty intense.
"When it goes up, they'll think it was error. They'll know that we'll know they're here. They'll try to get us as soon as possible."
So, it was meant as a decoy. She nodded and listened to the deep timbre of his voice. His jaw was set and his eyes locked to hers, though he stood leaning casually against the door frame as if they were discussing the weather instead of defending their lives.
"You'll be set up with a rifle seven-hundred meters away. I'll take down any air support and work on scattering the ground forces. You'll pick off any that wander into your line of sight."
She sat there a minute to absorb his plan and run through it in her mind. It didn't involve the others, which she was grateful for. However, that didn't mean that Umbra wouldn't target her twin or her sister's friends either.
Jason sat behind Kera and pulled her onto his lap.
"Everything'll be alright. Okay?" He kissed her cheek.
She wrapped her arms around him, hugging him and sighed, trying to push the tumultuous storm of emotions building inside her away. She needed to clear her head and get ready for the battle that lay ahead. She'd be no good if she let her fear and worry overcome her.
"So, you have a place in mind already?" His strong arms around her and his voice helped soothe her nerves a bit.
"You could say that," he sighed, as he nuzzled his face against Kera's neck, lightly scratching her with his stubble. She smiled at the comforting gesture.
"At least Mom, Souta, and Granpa are safe. That just leaves you, me, and Kags." Kera trusted her boyfriend and believed in his and her abilities, but she knew Umbra wouldn't hesitate to do whatever it took to achieve their goal. She faced him and rested her forehead against his, rubbing his stubble.
"Do you think it's safe for us to go to school?" She knew Umbra's goons could just wait for them to leave the school and grab them then, or if they were desperate enough, attack the school to draw them out.
"They don't like public assassinations, you know that." Jason licked the inside of his cheek. "Just to be safe, I'll pick you guys up and drop you off from school. We should also train Kagome to use a firearm in case she needs to defend herself." He gave Kera a firm squeeze.
"You have a point." She hugged him close. "I've got a feeling they won't wait much longer. Once they discover Devon and his cronies failed… they'll come at us full force." Her gaze locked to his. "Kinda ironic isn't it? If we don't take them on and put and end to it, then our educations won't really matter."
It would to her father though. He'd always been strict about her education. It would be interesting to see him lay down the law about her twin's catch-up sessions.
"Don't worry, baby. I wasn't the leader of 666 for nothing." He smirked. "I got this... We got this. It'll all buff out."
"That's true." She smiled at him. Earning that title was never an easy feat. He'd be a formidable foe to any who crossed him. And she wasn't a wall flower either. She was just as deadly in the battlefield in her own way. She cupped his face between her palms and pulled back to lock their gazes.
"We haven't known each other long, but, you and me." She traced his jaw line and smiled. "What we have... this is special." She caressed his cheek. "Just want ya to know that." She kissed the tip of his nose.
"I feel the same way." He smiled. "How's your dome feelin'?"
"A little hazy, but clearing fast." She grinned, heart fluttering in her chest at his words and his obvious concern for her.
"Good, because you've got school in about an hour. Might wanna get ready." Jason smiled and kissed her cheek. He smirked.
She'd much rather skip the day again and spend it with him. But, he was right. She couldn't put her life or education on hold and worry about the 'what if' scenarios. She needed to clear her mind and get focused. School would do that for her. It always did.
"Duty calls," she mumbled. She pressed her lips against his, before leaving his lap to gather her outfit for the day and then escaped into the bathroom for a quick shower.
Jason chuckled and laid on the bed, waiting for Kera to return.
XOXOXO:
Downstairs Kagome woke with a fuzzy head and noticed that whatever she was laying on wasn't as soft as her bed, but wasn't as unyielding as the floor either.
"What happened?" she mumbled, as she tried to open her eyes, then winced and closed them again. How could one person's head hurt so much? When the spinning feeling faded, she braced herself for another attempt.
"First hangover, eh little Miko?" An amused voice brushed against her ears.
Her eyes shot wide open and her heart raced in her chest. Her gaze locked to a blue gaze, dancing with mirth. A small squeal of surprise broke free from her lips as she tried to push up, but discovered that a steel hard arm locked around her, keeping her in place. A slow deadly smirk crossed his lips.
"Um…" Heat flooded to her face. "I… uh…" She couldn't believe she'd woken up draped over Bankotsu's chest.
"You're cute when you blush." Bankotsu's smirk widened and his finger brushed against her heated cheek. Her blush deepened. Of all the foolish things to do. She should have never touched that drink. And how had she ended up next to him of all people?
"Let go of her, now!" Inuyasha bellowed, shoving to his feet. His amber eyes narrowed to the arm holding her against his enemy.
"Shut up! It's six in the mornin'!" Jason poked his head out from Kera's room upon hearing the commotion.
"Let go of her," Inuyasha growled, flexing his claws as he took a single step towards them.
On a whim Bankotsu leaned forward and pressed his lips against her forehead, just to watch her blush deepen as it traveled down her neck. He removed his arm and let her get up.
Kagome scrambled back, falling onto her butt and her hand flew to her chest where her heart beat rapidly. Her other hand slowly slid up to touch her tingling forehead where he'd kissed her. Her eyes fell to the floor as that thought ran through her mind. Bankotsu, the bad-ass mercenary leader, had kissed her. Her hands covered her face.
Jason walked downstairs with a bag of fresh clothes in his hand. He threw it to Inuyasha.
"Both of you," he pointed to the two shorter males, "put those on. Kagome, go get ready for school." He used his no nonsense voice.
Kagome slowly walked upstairs, desperate to escape Bankotsu's presence and to get ready for school. She hoped the shower would clear her head a bit. If nothing else, she hoped it would dull the fierce pounding in her head.
What the hell had she been thinking? Oh, yeah… she hadn't. Sighing she stripped off her soiled clothes and couldn't believe she woken up laying on top of Bankotsu. Seriously, how had that happened?
As she started the shower she vaguely remember her sister's boyfriend pouring everyone some kind of liquid that looked like water, but wasn't. She'd been the first one to pass out. She remembered that much. Everything else was a black empty void.
She climbed into the tub, closed her eyes and ducked her head, allowing the water to cascade down her back. If this was what being drunk felt like, she'd pass from now on. Her head hurt like a bitch. She'd never experienced such a fierce drumming in her skull. It was like thousands of tiny jackhammers all going at once and focused on her temples.
Her stomach rolled and bile burned the back of her throat. She slid to her knees and vomited until all that came up was stomach acid. That was a very stupid move she'd done last night and she wouldn't be repeating it any time soon.
Kagome climbed to her feet, washed the vomit off her body and rinsed. She shut off the water, then dried off and dressed. She hoped some aspirin would tame the headache and popped a tablet into her mouth, swallowing it with a cup of water.
Back downstairs Jason grabbed his keys and put a cigarette between his lips.
"Hurry up, I want to beat the traffic." He walked outside and towards his car, lighting the cigarette.
Jason sat in his Challenger, a cigarette in one hand, his other on the gear stick. The music from the radio echoed all the way up the house. He sat patiently for the small group to arrive as he listened to "Symphony of Destruction" blast through the speakers.
Kera descended the stairs and went to fix a quick breakfast, then walked outside, backpack slung over her shoulder. She opened the car door and slid in.
"You didn't eat breakfast." She stuck her tongue out in a playful raspberry.
"I'll grab something after I get home." He leaned in to kiss Kera. "And unless you plan on using your lil pink tongue, don't stick it out again." He chuckled, giving her a peck on the lips.
"Maybe that was the point?" She winked at him. Before he could respond, Kagome opened the door and slid into the back, with Bankotsu on one side and Inuyasha on the other.
"Never again," Kagome muttered holding her head, wishing she could find a dark room to hide in.
"Don't be so sure, little Miko." Bankotsu smirked. "Once people get a taste of the wild side, they never go back."
Jason shifted into first and pulled out of the driveway, the massive engine made the car rumble and vibrate.
"I remember when I told myself never again," Jason chuckled. "You know what happened the very next weekend, Kags?"
"What?" Kagome grabbed her head and moaned.
"I was sent to Bolivia." He shifted to second. "I killed twenty-seven people and got shot once. My platoon and I partied hard after that." He laughed.
Kera stared at her boyfriend and wondered what else she didn't know about him.
"You say that as if it's something you're proud of." Kagome's eyes widened.
"I knew you and I would get along," Bankotsu chuckled.
"Okay, braid boy. How many kills have you got under your belt?" Jason chuckled, as he shifted into third to get onto the highway.
"Two-thousand." Bankotsu grinned. "Human and demon."
"That's all?" Jason chuckled. "You said you lead a group of mercs. Between you all, how many kills do you think you all have in total?"
"Never kept track of the others," Bankotsu shrugged.
"That's how it plays out I guess," Jason chuckled. "So, you said you've killed two-thousand, yeah?"
"Yup." Bankotsu grinned.
"Thirty-five hundred." Jason smirked. "Looks like you got second place." He laughed.
"How the hell have you killed that many?" Bankotsu scowled, folding his arms over his chest like a pouting kid.
"Impressive." Kera whistled. She reached over and squeezed his thigh. She hadn't expected the number to be so high, but she wouldn't hold it against him. That took a helluva lot of skill to pull off.
"How can you say that with such pride?" Inuyasha's eyes narrowed. "Human life is sacred."
"Killing people is wrong," Kagome voiced her opinion and held her head.
"The world isn't all unicorns and sunshine, Kags." Kera informed her. "Sometimes, you have to kill in order to survive." She left out the part that some people, her included, did it for money.
"Depending on who you are, you could either think of it as that or well over fifty-thousand. Take your pick." Jason laughed.
"That's a pretty big jump in numbers," Bankotsu remarked. "How do you figure that high?"
"Yeah, well nowadays ordering and enjoying their deaths is the same as killing them." Jason rounded the corner and stopped at a red light.
"How can you enjoy killing?" Kagome scoffed. "It's horrible!"
"Because I was paid well and I was bored. I'm pretty sure braid-boy can relate," Jason chuckled. The red light turned green and Jason shifted into first and put his foot on the gas pedal.
"That bow I had, you remember that? I once pinned two men to a house, with one arrow." Pride filled Jason's voice as he recalled the events he spoke of.
"That's horrible," Kagome gasped. How could this man sit there and talk so casually about taking another person's life? And how could her twin not be upset by this little revelation of his?
"Actually, it's smart. Less arrows used for more damage." Kera smiled, as she informed her sister in a serious tone.
"It's still wrong." Kagome frowned and winced wishing she hadn't.
"Some people aren't given a choice, Kags." Kera scowled. "So, don't you dare sit there and judge Jason. You've seen for yourself how much he helps others."
"You've killed too," Bankotsu gently reminded Kagome. "Just because they were demons doesn't make it any different."
"It is different," Kagome protested. "I did that to protect my friends."
"It's still killing," Bankotsu spoke bluntly.
"Here we are. Have fun." Jason pulled the car to a halt in front of the school. He chuckled.
Kera leaned over and kissed him. "Good luck taming those two," she whispered, then licked the outer shell of his ear and nipped his lobe. Grinning she slid out of the car.
"Don't worry about me, babygirl. I'll be back around eleven for lunch." Jason smirked.
"Can't wait." She winked, then turned and followed her twin into the school.
"How come you don't seem bothered by the latest revelations about your boyfriend?" Kagome questioned, as they walked over to their lockers.
"I make it a point not to judge others until I've gotten to know them," Kera replied tightly, as she gathered the books she'd need for the first half of the day. Before her twin could question her further, the bell rang and they walked off to their separate classes.
XOXOXO:
"Alright, pretty boy. You're sitting up front." Jason jerked a thumb at the empty seat.
"You mean me, right?" Bankotsu chuckled.
Inuyasha snorted.
"Yes, you." Jason turned the volume up on the radio.
Bankotsu smirked and climbed into the seat.
Jason shifted into first gear and took off down the road.
"What do you call this thing?" Bankotsu's eyes widened as the car jerked and went faster.
"A motorized mode of transportation. Or a car. Take your pick." He shifted to third as he got onto the highway. The engine roared as it gained speed.
"It's fast." Bankotsu grinned. "Faster than most demons I've seen."
"Over eight-hundred horsepower in this engine." Jason revved the engine. "Wanna see how fast she really goes?" He smirked.
"Show me." He nodded.
"Hey! I'm here to ya know," Inuyasha grumbled.
"I know." Jason jammed his foot on the clutch and shifted gears. Once again, the car gained speed and the needle began to slip past One-twenty when Jason shifted again.
"What are you doing with that thing?" Bankotsu pointed to the lever.
"It's a manual transmission. I use it to change gears after the RPM meter gets to a certain point."
"Not from this world, remember?" The mercenary stared at him confused.
"I move it so I can go faster and if I don't, the thing that makes it go blows up."
A siren squealed behind him and blue and red lights flashed in the mirror.
"Damnit," He sighed.
"What's that?" Bankotsu frowned at the frustration in the guy's voice.
"Another body." Jason frowned as he drove onto the off ramp and onto the same stretch of road he had killed the other cop on. "Don't say anything. Let me take care of this." He quickly checked to see if his double barrel sawed-off shotgun was loaded. He slid it under his seat.
Bankotsu smirked and sat back to watch the guy in action.
"You can't be serious." Inuyasha scowled, arms shoved crossed over his chest.
"Shut. Up!" Jason growled, glaring at him in the mirror. Jason unrolled his window as the cop tapped on it.
"Mornin' officer." He smiled.
"Do you know how fast you were going back there?"
"The speedo' said one-sixty."
The policeman nodded his head and turned to go to his car. As soon as he left, Jason sprung out of his car and emptied both barrels into the man's back. He threw the gun onto his back seat, landing in Inuyasha's lap.
He worked like clockwork, snatching the gear, disabling and wiping the camera memory and the black box, loading the dead man up, soaking the car and the body in gasoline, and torching it. He climbed back into his car and was gone. The entire process had taken less than sixty seconds.
"You're insane! Does Kera know about this?" Inuyasha growled. "I highly doubt little miss princess would approve."
"Damn, you're fast!" Bankotsu smirked. "Impressive."
Jason smirked at Bankotsu's comment.
"There's a lot of things Kera doesn't know about me." He tossed a box of shotgun shells to Inuyasha. "Reload that."
"I don't know how to reload this and even if I did, I wouldn't. I don't condone this at all. Doubt Kera would either."
"Just put it under the seat," Jason sighed.
"Actually, I get a feeling it wouldn't bother her so much." Bankotsu remarked.
"Maybe she should know? Then maybe she'd be smart enough to get away?" Inuyasha snorted. "Dumb broad doesn't know what she's getting herself into."
Jason slammed his foot on the brake and the car skid along the highway for a good twenty feet. He pulled up the hand brake and jumped into the back seat.
"Don't you ever talk about my Kera like that, you motherfucker!" He growled as he slammed his forehead onto Inuyasha's. He gave him a final strike before dropping himself back onto the driver's seat and took off.
"Inuyasha," Bankotsu sighed and shook his head side to side. "You're an idiot." He added. "Something tells me she's not going anywhere."
"Damn right," Jason chuckled.
"I'm never leaving Kagome alone with you. You're insane!" Inuyasha glared at him.
"That's fine, just leave my Kera be," He growled, as he took an off ramp and drove to his house.
"She's as crazy as you are. Only she stays calm about it." Inuyasha snorted.
"You really don't know when to shut up. Do you half-breed?"
Jason chuckled. He pulled into his driveway and cut the ignition. "Wait here, I'll be right back."
"Sure," Bankotsu said in a bored tone. He looked back at Inuyasha. "If you want to keep breathing, you'd best leave Kera out of everything. I know his type. Hell, I am his type of guy. Don't bring her into it again. That's my advice."
"He's as bat-shit-crazy as you are. What the hell does she see in him anyway?" Inuyasha grunted and held his forehead.
Jason walked back outside with a manila folder in his hand. He tucked it into the glove box and drove into town.
"What's that about?" Bankotsu asked, curiosity in his eyes.
"I'm doing something important. I've gotta take these in and get them filed."
"Whatever that means," Bankotsu sighed. "This world seems rather boring." He waved off the answer.
Inuyasha grunted as tension filled the air. He was surrounded by two homicidal maniacs. Just his luck to get stuck with these two. Hell! He'd rather endure Kagome's friends' endless questions than be around these two for the day.
"It can be if you don't know where to look." Jason grinned. "I was a merc' since five. That was pretty fun."
"Nice." Bankotsu nodded. "What changed?"
"I was turned on my my bosses." He said icily.
"Now that doesn't surprise me." Bankotsu scowled. "Let me guess. You got too powerful for them to control?"
"That among other things." Jason chuckled. "I got their assassins good though. Stabbed one over eighty times and chopped both into tiny bits and pieces. It was a fun night."
"Shame I missed out," Bankotsu sighed. "So, Kera..." His tone held blatant interest.
"What about her?" Jason raised an eyebrow.
"Those moves she used on me. You teach her that?"
"No. She worked for the same company I did. We were in vastly different platoons though."
"So, that's why." Bankotsu surmised.
"She's done the same shit you did?" Inuyasha asked appalled. "No wonder she's as crazy as you."
"You better not drag Kagome into this shit," Inuyasha warned them. He turned to Bankotsu. "Did he tell you that Kera stabbed my hand when we first met?"
"The difference between Kera and I is that it was her job. The company accepted no failures. The platoon I've lead was purposefully built to carry out genocide. To completely saturate entire countries in fire and death." Jason pulled into a parking spot.
"To be fair, it was your fault. You grabbed her." Jason climbed out and went into the large building with the stack of papers.
"Sounds like she can take care of herself then." Bankotsu smirked, then faced Inuyasha. "You grabbed her?" He raised a brow and sent him a lecherous grin that rivaled Miroku's.
"Not like that you idiot," Inuyasha huffed. "And I thought she was Kagome."
"How? They're obviously different." Bankotsu laughed.
"All I saw was her looks." Inuyasha grunted.
"You do realize that Kera's taller, right? And that her hair's longer and wavier? Really, how could you not realize that?"
"How could you notice that? Unless you're looking?" Inuyasha's eyes widened. "And if that's the case, you better steer clear. That guy is completely insane. You saw what he did just from me saying she should leave him."
"You moron, it's blatantly obvious." Bankotsu pinched the bridge of his nose. "Sure, they look similar in the face and even sound the same, but the rest of the differences are clear as day."
"I walked in, pulled her off his lap and walked towards the door. She hadn't talked or anything till she stabbed me. After that I steered clear."
"I bet he didn't like that too much." Bankotsu laughed. "Especially with how intimate they get." He wiggled his brows suggestively.
"No, he didn't." Inuyasha scrunched his nose in disgust. "And don't remind me."
XOXOXO:
Meanwhile, back at school, Kagome slumped into her desk and laid her head on the top of it with a mumble.
She closed her eyes and rested her arms over the front of her face trying to block out most of the light.
She frowned at how dry and fuzzy her mouth felt, but was glad that at least the nausea had faded. She wondered why anyone would put themselves through this. It wasn't worth the intense pain.
"Hey Kagome, you okay?" Eri's usually soft voice sounded like she was yelling.
"Fine," she muttered.
"You don't look so well."
"I just want to sleep," she mumbled.
"What happened?"
"Eri, please just let me rest." She kept her voice barely above a whisper.
In the blissful silence, she wondered what exactly her sister saw in Jason aside from his looks? He was extremely violent most of the time. Scary, violent. So, why was Kera so enamored with him? Whatever. Her head hurt too bad to think about it. She couldn't wait for the day to end so she could go home and sleep.
Her thoughts drifted to Bankotsu and the fact she'd woken up on top of him. Heat filled her cheeks, especially as she remembered the feeling of his lips on her forehead. Why had he done that? To piss Inuyasha off? Probably.
She sighed and tried to force the blush out of her cheeks. He'd never be interested in a girl like her, any more than she'd be interested in a guy like him. She groaned and covered her ears when the bell rang. Taking deep breaths, she grabbed her bag and slowly walked to her next class.
XOXOXO:
Kagome entered the room and slumped into her desk.
"Rough morning?" Kera teased. "Here," she passed her twin a bottled water, "It'll help."
Kagome weakly unscrewed the cap and drained half the bottle.
"You seem to know a lot about this," she muttered. "I take it you've done this before?" Kera simply grinned instead of answering her question.
"So what's the deal with your boyfriend?" Kagome sat up and tried to pay attention.
"What about him?" Kera raised a brow. If her twin was about to insult him again… Her hands balled into fists as she clenched and unclenched them, trying to control her slowly building anger.
"What do you see in him? You know, aside from his looks."
"Jason is a good person." She could see why everyone was enamored with his looks. He was sexy as hell. But, that wasn't what drew her to him.
"You still think that after what he said this morning?"
"What about Inuyasha?" Kera changed the subject.
"What about him?" Kagome blinked and drank more of the water.
"You have feelings for him, right?" Kagome blushed. "He's not exactly Mr. Nice guy."
"He's still got a good heart."
"So does Jason. He just doesn't let other people see it."
"I doubt he thinks that."
"He'll see it too. In time," Kera assured. She'd do everything in her power to make sure of it.
"He's brutish." Kagome frowned.
"No more than Inuyasha or that braid haired boy."
"Bankotsu," Kagome calmly corrected.
"Whatever." Kera waved off the name. "Same diff."
"It's not the same. Inuyasha cares about people."
"So does Jason. Those that he lets close enough to matter anyway."
"Kera, he's dangerous."
"So am I," she assured. "Look Kags, I appreciate you trying to look out for me. But, you need to not judge people so much." Her eyes narrowed. "Not everything is as black and white as you try to make it." Kera grabbed her books and swept out of the room as the bell rang.
"Kera, wait," Kagome called out, chasing her twin.
Kera took a deep breath and spun to face her with a serious look. "When you like someone, you have to accept all of them. The good and the bad." With that, she stormed to her next class, eager for it to finish so she could have her lunch break.
XOXOXO:
Kera sat in her desk and scowled when Hojo entered the room, probably to spy on her for his idiotic friend. She couldn't wait for the class to end. She'd be away from his ass, and back with Jason.
She tapped her pencil against her notebook as she prepared to take notes for the class. She sighed. Why did her twin have to be so judgmental? If she wanted to worry about a guy, she could worry about how Dorian seriously creeped her out and had done so from the first day she'd arrived.
Inuyasha was no saint either. He'd killed plenty. His reasons for doing so didn't matter. He'd killed and so had her twin. So why judge? Kera sighed in disappointment. She'd hoped her twin would have been more understanding. Should prove interesting when she finally told her family what kind of life she'd lived. A conversation that she hoped to put off until her Daddykins was finally home.
Telling her family wasn't something she looked forward to. And, if her twin's attitude was anything to go by, the news wouldn't be taken well. At least Jason understood. He didn't judge her and never would. Just like she'd never judge him.
Pushing all her wayward thoughts aside, Kera focused and did her assignment, then handed it in. A few minutes later the bell rang and she breathed a little easier. She walked with a bounce in her step as she went to meet Jason for lunch.
XOXOXO:
Jason leaned against the wall of the cafeteria, waiting for the two sisters. He'd apparently found a black and silver cowboy hat sitting around and decided to nab it for himself. It matched well with his faded blue jeans, black button up dress shirt, which had the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and his polished leather boots.
Not surprisingly, the three were the focal point of most of the women around school. A few bags from Red Lobster sat on the floor next to them as Inuyasha, Bankotsu, and Jason waited.
By the way all the girls at school were gaping Kera knew exactly where to find Jason. She sauntered over to him and grinned.
"Nice hat. It suits you." She kissed his cheek and wrapped her arms around him glad to be in his presence again.
"I hope Kagome's friends don't make a scene," Inuyasha sighed, and shifted uncomfortable with all the attention drawn their way.
"Why would they?" Bankotsu asked, confused, then walked over to greet Kagome.
Kagome walked over surprised to see everyone there.
Jason took the hat off of his head and dropped it on Kera's. He bent down to give her a quick kiss.
"Thanks, but I think it looks better on you, cowgirl." He winked, then bent down to pick up the bags.
"Let's head out to my car and eat. Too crowded in here."
"Thanks." She grinned, and walked beside him eager to escape the growing crowd.
"Have a nice day?" Bankotsu asked Kagome.
"I'm just glad my head finally stopped hurting," she sighed.
"I bet," Bankotsu chuckled.
Inuyasha glared and followed everyone.
"What happened to dog boy's face?" Kera asked amused.
"Whatcha mean, Kay?" Jason sent her a confused look.
"Never mind," she chuckled. "So, what did you three do today?"
"Drove around. I got some stuff filed and legalized and whatnot... " Jason smiled. "And shot another cop," he mumbled under his breath.
"Got what legalized?" Kera blinked. "So, pretty productive day, eh?" She reached over and kissed his cheek.
"You're really going to ignore what he just said?" Inuyasha demanded.
"What did he say?" Kagome asked baffled.
"Forget it." Bankotsu smirked, and ushered Kagome into the back seat, slipping in beside her.
"Just some stuff." Jason gave Kera a kiss.
When they were all seated, they reached for the food and dug in. Between bites, they all held a conversation.
"School was pretty boring." Kera commented between bites.
"So, Kagome, what did you do today?" Bankotsu asked.
"What the hell do you care?" Inuyasha barked.
"Inuyasha, what happened to your face?" Kagome asked frowning.
"Let's just say that he really needs to learn to shut his mouth." Bankotsu grinned.
"Did you do that?" Kagome demanded.
Jason smirked as he sucked the flesh out of a lobster tail.
"Don't look at me," Bankotsu defended. "I didn't touch him."
"That's a surprise," Kagome said, genuinely shocked.
"You and me, we got some things to talk about later." Kera told Jason, before sucking the meat out of her lobster tail. "After our… unfinished business." She winked.
Jason dumped the shells out of his window and cleaned his hands off with some wet naps.
"So we do." Jason chuckled, and gave her a wink. He dug around in his pocket and pulled out his pack of Marlboros. He put one between his lips and sparked it.
"Am I really driving you to smoke?" Kera teased. "You light up around me a lot." She cleaned her hands on a wet nap.
"Dude, you two totally need to get behind doors, fuck each other and get it over with. The looks you're sending each other have steamed up the windows." Bankotsu chuckled.
"Oh man, not another one." Kagome's face turned beet red. Why was she surrounded by people who let their hormones rule their bodies?
Bankotsu peeled her hands away from her face. "We could always do the same," he teased, trying to get a rise out of her.
"Back off!" Inuyasha growled.
"Don't yell in the car," Jason sighed.
"Um, no." Kagome pulled her knees to her chest and buried her head against them.
"Something wrong, mutt?" Bankotsu jeered, unaffected by Kagome's response. It'd been about what he'd expected.
"How did we become the babysitters?" Kera asked, staring at Jason. "You didn't answer about the cigs, but no big." She stuck out her tongue in a playful raspberry.
"Trick question. I'm the oldest one here most likely, so I'm the babysitter." He grabbed Kera's chin between his thumb and his index finger. "And what did I say about that little tongue of yours?"
"I don't need a babysitter." She grinned. "And maybe that's my intention," she teased, wrapping her arms around his neck, with her gaze locked to his.
Without warning, Jason firmly pressed his lips to hers, pulling her in by the collar of her shirt.
Kera kissed him back, welcoming his tongue as it pushed into her mouth, licking and claiming every inch of her moist cavern. Her fingers slid up to tangle in his hair as she tugged lightly. Jason pulled back with a smirk on his face.
"We'll finish up tonight." He chuckled.
"Is that a promise?" She asked partly breathless. Jason gave her a subtle wink. She smiled and sat back in her seat.
"You keep your lewd comments to yourself." Inuyasha scowled.
Bankotsu chuckled and smirked.
Kagome kept her face buried. She didn't need to see what was going on to know her sister and that guy were shamelessly kissing. And Bankotsu didn't need to see her blushing both from his comment and from her sister's lack of decorum.
"Can we go now?" Inuyasha huffed. The sooner he got away from Bankotsu and got him away from Kagome, the better.
"You girls wanna come with?" Jason shrugged and started up his car.
"Yes," Kera sighed. "I can't take another minute of boring lectures."
Kagome remained silent, hiding from them.
Jason chuckled and put his car into gear. He sped out of the drive way and squealed his tires for the sole purpose of showing his car off to the other students before leaving the school grounds and heading down the road.
"One of these nights, we're gonna have to go somewhere and really let her loose." Kera smiled. "I wanna see what this baby can really do." She pat his dashboard.
Kagome squeaked and reached for her seat belt.
"She's got over eight-hundred horses under the hood. After I install the supercharger I've ordered, she'll be well over a thousand." He smiled.
"You're totally taking me out in her when you do finish. You know that, right?" Kera grinned.
"A fan of speedy cars?" Bankotsu asked.
"One of the few activities I do enjoy." She answered with a grin. "Jas knows the other one."
"I'll bet." Bankotsu grinned.
"I know, babygirl. You'll be the first." Jason smirked, as he shifted gears to get onto the highway.
"I'm gonna hold you to that." She grinned.
"You two are crazy." Inuyasha snorted.
"You say that a lot," Bankotsu remarked bemused.
"It's too fast," Kagome squealed.
"You don't have any idea how much this speed demon's almost gotten me in trouble." He shot Bankotsu and Inuyasha a knowing smirk.
"Maybe they should know," Inuyasha scowled, glaring at him in the mirror.
"Don't you start." Bankotsu slapped him upside the head.
Kera laughed.
"Brake check!" Jason slammed his foot on the brake, forcing the car to jerk forward.
"Good thing I put my belt on," Kagome scowled.
"Kinda stupid not to in a car this fast." Kera laughed.
"Not the response I was hoping for," Jason sighed. "Oh well."
"What were you hoping for?" Kera leaned over and kissed his jaw.
"Screaming. Flailing. Ya know." He chuckled.
"He was probably hoping to throw me out the window," Inuyasha growled.
"It's a two-door asshole. Only way that's happening is if you turn into a windshield cannon. Here," Jason rolled his window down. "Doggie wanna stick his head out the window?"
"I'm not a dog," Inuyasha snapped, narrowing his eyes.
"Where is Leonidas?" Kera asked. "I haven't seen him since this morning." She pouted.
"Can we slow down, please?" Kagome asked, then squeaked as Bankotsu draped an arm over her shoulder.
"Don't worry. I won't let nothing happen to you."
Inuyasha's growl grew louder.
"Your ears suggest otherwise. Come on...You know you can't resist it..." Jason laughed. "And Leiko probably picked him up on the way to the school. Gramps probably picked him up and dropped him off at my place." He glanced at Kagome. "I'm going the speed limit, Kagome."
"Good. I wanna see him too. Can't spend the day without scratching behind his ears." Kera smiled. "He's such a good boy." Her face lit up as she thought about seeing him again.
"Um, that's not necessary." Kagome blushed at the weight of Bankotsu's arm on her shoulder.
"He's cute too." Jason grinned. " I love that little ball of fur with my heart."
"It's easy to see why." Kera smiled. "He's a lot like you."
"Don't tell me you'll be fucking his dog next?" Inuyasha snorted.
Bankotsu braced, ready to pull Kagome into his lap in case Jason stopped the car and jumped into the back seat like earlier.
"Ew, that's nasty!" She glared at Inuyasha.
Jason sighed. A few moments later, he pulled into his driveway and was eagerly greeted by his beloved dog.
"Hey boy!" Jason smiled as he scratched behind Leonidas' ears. "Hey, go to mama." He pointed to Kera. Leonidas happily jumped over the car to land at Kera's feet, wagging his tail.
"There's the big boy. Did ya miss me?" She scratched behind his ears and a gave him a quick hug. Leonidas barked and licked Kera's face.
"Inubaka, you're damned lucky he didn't stop the car and jump in back to beat you senseless," Bankotsu warned. "Because if anything had happened to Kagome getting caught up in it, I'd be next in line to kick your ass." He shoved the hanyou away with a snort.
"What the fuck?" Jason's voice echoed through his house.
"Uh oh," Kera sighed. "One guess what happened," she mumbled as she pet Leonidas. "You three stay here," she commanded in a no nonsense tone.
"Kera," Kagome started.
"Just do it!" Her eyes narrowed. "For your own safety." She stared at Bankotsu. "Watch her." With that, she walked toward the house, pretty sure what had transpired.
As Kera walked over to the door, Dorian crashed through it. She jumped out of the way just in time to avoid inadvertently catching him. Jason stalked towards the man as he was climbing to his feet. He smashed his boot against his chin, forcing him to roll back over.
"You motherfucker!" He angrily stormed towards his car. He popped the trunk open and pulled out a shotgun he had taken from one of the cops and pumped it, chambering the shell.
"Jas, stop this!" Leiko cried out, slipping into her shirt as she flew out the door behind them. Kera grabbed Leiko by the waist and pulled her back.
"Why couldn't you two have listened to his last warning?" She sighed, dragging Leiko away from the scene to keep Jason's sister from getting caught between the men.
Kagome's eyes widened and she spun around burying her face against Bankotsu's chest. Her heart felt like it was about to burst from her chest and fear skated down her spine. She struggled to draw air into her lungs and trembled like a leaf in the middle of a fierce storm.
"You can't do this," Inuyasha protested.
"Inuyasha, back off!" Kera warned, dragging Leiko over to them.
Jason shouldered the shotgun and aimed it at Dorian's skull. His foot was planted firmly on his chest.
"What the fuck did I tell you?" He screamed. "What the fuck did I tell you, motherfucker?" His eyes were narrowed at the man he held pinned to the ground and anger rolled off him in waves, as the air lay thick with tension.
"Let go!" Leiko cried, trying to fight her way free.
"You've left me no choice." Kera pressed two places on the back of her neck sending her to sleep, then laid her on the ground.
"You're seriously going to let him do this?" Inuyasha glared at her.
"He won't be stopped this time. Not even by me." She sighed and shook her head. "Stupid Dorian refuses to learn." She shrugged and widened her stance as if preparing to fight. Kera reached over and pressed the same two spots on her sister's neck, also sending her to sleep, hoping to spare her from the inevitable.
"You're okay with this?" Bankotsu asked, as he scooped Kagome into his arms.
"Whether I am or not, he won't be stopped. Jas warned him several times." She cocked one hip to the side and faced Inuyasha. "You try to interfere and I'll have no choice but to intervene and keep you out of it."
"You really think you could stop me?" Inuyasha scoffed.
"Take one step and we'll find out." Her voice hardened.
"Wait," Dorian screamed.
"You come to my house. You fuck my baby sister," Jason growled. "Why the fuck should I let you live, motherfucker?"
"Because," Dorian cried. "Your sister and I are getting married. I got her pregnant!"
"Exfuckin'scuse me?" Jason felt as though an inferno had been lit in his chest and head. The tension doubled in a matter of seconds, turning the air around them heavy with suspense.
"Are you insane?" Kera spun on Dorian. "First, you stalk me and try to get your pals to gang up on me, then you come to my home and insult me, making a fool of yourself in the process. And now this?"
She stormed over to him and whipped out her blade, holding it to his neck. "Are you trying to get killed?" Her eyes turned cold and hard like Jason's when he was calm.
Jason shoved his shotgun into Kera's arms and dragged the bleeding male into his house, locking the door behind him. He threw Dorian onto a chair and handcuffed him to the table.
"You're damn lucky that I don't want my baby sister's baby going through life fatherless."
Outside Kera sighed and shook her head as she put the shotgun back in the trunk. "That idiot is gonna wish Jason had killed him by the time Jas gets done with him." She shut the trunk, then walked over to Kagome and Leiko and broke the smelling salts, waking them both up.
"Is he?" Kagome paled.
"Shh." Bankotsu hugged her and rubbed her back.
"No, but he's gonna wish he was." Kera glared at Leiko. "You're damned lucky your brother is reasonable."
Leiko moved to get up, but she held her down, pinned by her shoulders.
"Stay put. I can't guarantee your safety at the moment if you don't."
"Did that guy really stalk you?" Bankotsu asked perplexed.
"Yes, and in the alley he and his thugs tried to gang up on me." Kera sighed, and stared into Leiko's eyes. "I also told you both that next time I wouldn't even try to stop Jas."
Inside Jason struck Dorian, forcing him to spit out a few teeth.
"Ya know, I grew up my entire life without a father." Jason sighed. "Until I was five, it was my aunt and uncle that raised me." He took a swig from the bottle of Jack Daniels he laid on the table.
Dorian remained silent. He had nothing to say. It was entirely his fault he was in this mess.
"What're you gonna name the kid, huh? Think really hard." Jason retrieved his tattooing supplies from a set of drawers across the room.
"Riley," Dorian wheezed.
"Cute name," Jason sighed. He walked behind Dorian and ripped the back of his shirt open. "Now, you may not enjoy this..." Jason licked the inside of his cheek. "But, with my artistic ability, it will be over quickly." Jason hooked up the tattoo gun and inserted a vial of ink. He began to tattoo the name 'Riley' in large, elegant, normally time-consuming letters.
Dorian screamed in agony as the needle pierced his skin.
Outside hearing the screams Kera sighed and shook her head. "Do you have any idea how pissed Jason is right now?" She asked Leiko.
"Why is he screaming?" Kagome asked trembling as she closed her eyes and pressed closer to the strong arms around her. Bankotsu tightened his arms around her, ignoring Inuyasha's death glares.
"Trust me, you're better off not knowing," Kera answered. "Come here boy." She hugged Leonidas and sat petting him while they waited.
Back inside:
"Fuckin' sit still, hermano!" Jason screamed. His Pacific Islander accent was starting to bleed through from his anger and frustration. "Almost done."
"There. All done." He smiled. Jason cleaned his gear and put it away. All the way down Dorian's back was the name "Riley" in Old-English lettering.
Jason reached over and dumped a bottle of high-proof vodka on Dorian's back.
Dorian screamed in pain once more.
"Okay, I didn't need to do that. I just thought it was funny." Jason wrapped Dorian's torso in plastic wrap and pulled him up by his blonde hair and lead him outside to the group.
"Guess what our little friend here decided to do."
"Cute name." Kera smiled, and continued petting Leonidas. She released Leiko, who ran over to hug Dorian as she cried.
"If you mistreat Leiko or her baby, I'll fuckin' kill you in the most violent and painful way possible. Got that?" He growled towards Dorian.
"Please Jas. Enough," Leiko sobbed.
"Oh, Leiko. My baby sister, Leiko." Jason sighed and walked over to his sister. "I love you, ya know that? I'm just watching out for you."
"I know." Leiko nodded with tears in her eyes.
Kera sighed and stayed with Leonidas preferring to stay away from Dorian.
"Shh, sh, sh, shh. Stop crying, hermana. It's gonna be okay. I won't hurt him so long as he doesn't hurt you." Jason hugged his sister.
"Have the house for a couple days. Call me if you need anythin'." Jason walked into the house to grab a few changes of clothes. He walked back outside.
"Let's go." He climbed into his car and started the engine.
"You were going to let him do it." Kagome stared horrified at her twin.
"I couldn't have stopped him, Kags. Even if I had wanted to. Which I didn't."
"How can you justify what almost happened?"
"I don't have to." Kera said in a deceptively calm voice. "I will not explain myself to you."
"Did I stutter? Get the fuck in here!" Jason slammed his hand on the door. He glared at his group.
Kera calmly climbed into the front seat and pat her leg calling for Leonidas. Leonidas jumped onto her lap, turned around and then slid down to the space between her feet.
When everybody was loaded in Jason took off down the road. Kera stared out the window and scratched behind Leonidas' ears.
"She was really going to let him-" Bankotsu pressed his finger to Kagome's lips silencing her. Kagome's eyes widened and she fell silent.
Jason kept his eyes glued to the road.
The car ride was silent as they all made their way back to Higurashi shrine.
Jason stopped his car at the shrine and ordered everyone to get out, then locked up his car. He glared at Inuyasha, Bankotsu and Kagome until they entered the house.
"Stay inside. Leonidas, stay." Was all he said as he watched the trio settle in the living room.
Without a word Kera cupped his cheek and pressed her lips to his, then took him by the hand and led him up to her room. She felt every wave of anger that he emitted as they made their way up the stairs.
As soon as they closed the door, Jason pulled Kera to him, claiming her mouth with his in a rough, near bruising kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck. He lifted her into the air and her legs automatically wrapped around his waist. He carried her over to the bed and tossed her onto it.
Eyes dark with lust, he fell onto the bed beside her and pulled her on top of him.
Giving him a saucy smile, she pulled his shirt open and kissed his chest, slowly working her way down to the top of his pants.
One hand stroked him through his jeans, while the other supported her weight. Her tongue languidly traced each chiseled indentation of his abs, stopping every so often to kiss and nip at his skin.
He pushed up on his elbows to watch every teasing stroke of her tongue. She undid his buckle and slowly unzipped his jeans, then lightly scraped her nails against him. He pushed her back long enough to strip his jeans and boxers and tossed them onto the floor in an unceremonious heap.
Smiling seductively she pushed him to lay back down and trailed her tongue down to swipe around his bulbous head.
A hiss of pleasure escaped his throat as he bucked his hips and watched his little temptress.
Locking her gaze to his, she grinned and then licked his hardening length like a lollipop. Slow, long strokes that traveled from base to tip. She swirled her tongue along the head.
Without warning, he grabbed the hair on the back of her head and forced her mouth onto him. Taking the hint she opened her mouth and slowly worked him down her throat, relaxing the way she'd discovered worked best, during the few times she'd done this act.
He was big, thick and hard and she feared it might gag her, but she was determined to show Jason that she could be whatever he needed.
When she had him down her throat, his hands gripped her head and guided her at the pace he wanted, bucking his hips to send him even further down her hot, slick throat.
Kera followed his lead and allowed him to fuck her mouth. She knew he needed this and she needed to taste him.
She'd never been particularly fond of the taste of cum, but she genuinely wanted to taste his. She wanted to pleasure him in every way.
Each rough tug of his large hands in her hair sent desire coursing through her veins and wetness pooled between her legs. He wasn't holding back. Not after what had just happened tonight. And she wanted everything he had to give her.
While Jason guided her head, her fingernails scraped against the insides of his thighs. One hand slid up to gently play with his heavy sack.
She felt him swelling impossibly tighter in her throat and welcomed the chance to please him. She slid her tongue down his length to add to his pleasure.
He shoved her face against his groin so that the hairs tickled her nose as the first jet of his cum entered her throat.
She swallowed like she'd learned to do, until the sticky stuff stopped, then slowly disengaged, to trail her tongue along him until she'd cleaned it off him. Sitting up, she smiled and slowly licked her lips. Her eyes were full of happiness and desire.
He pulled her into his lap, so that she straddled him and ripped her shirt over her head, then made quick work of her bra.
His mouth seized one of her nipples and he raked his teeth over it, earning a startled gasp, followed by a loud moan, as her hands gripped his shoulders.
He pulled away from her breast to bite her shoulder, but not enough to draw blood. She gasped and bucked against him, mewling.
He laid back and pulled her down onto him, burying himself inside her with one swift jerk of his hips. She cried out in pleasure and slight pain at the rough entrance. But, the pain was soon forgotten as he guided her hips and hoarsely commanded for her to ride him.
Falling forward with her hands on his chest, she arched her back and began to do just that, rocking forward so he slid almost out of her and slamming back again, driving moans from both of their lips.
He captured both of her hands in one of his massive ones and held them pinned behind her back.
His other arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her down enough to bring her swinging breasts to his waiting mouth. He nipped and sucked which had her writhing wildly against him.
He felt her inner walls squeeze him and quickly changed positions so that she was on her knees with him behind her. Her free hands hit the mattress to keep her from falling as one massive hand gripped her hip hard enough, she knew it would bruise.
He wrapped her hair around his hand and pulled her head back so that he could claim her mouth as he drove into her repeatedly.
He broke the kiss, just before he sent them into the ultimate bliss of completion, and his teeth sank into her shoulder. She cried out, sobbing his name as her body convulsed with her release.
"Say it again," he commanded huskily as he surged inside her once more.
"Jas," she sobbed as her body milked his release and she shattered around him. He let go of her hair and she fell forward panting. He quickly flipped her onto her back, keeping one leg over his shoulder and slammed into her again.
She cried out his name and her fingernails dug into his shoulders. He took her roughly this time as the need to mark her as his and only his rode him hard. She cried out in joy and a little pain with each thrust.
Kera stared up at him with trust and acceptance in her eyes. One of her hands gently stroked his cheek. He nipped her palm, causing her to gasp.
He smirked. There was one way to ensure she was marked as his. He pulled out of her, earning a whimper of disappointment.
He flipped her over so that her ass was in the air and pressed her chest down against the mattress. His fingers dipped into her pussy slopping in the juices and he rubbed the small pucker.
She gasped and he smirked. After ensuring she was nicely lubed, he pressed against the entrance and slowly made his way inside. She cried out and her legs tried to buckle, but he held her in place.
"Relax, babygirl," he ordered huskily. "Trust me."
Kera's ass burned as it stretched to accommodate his considerable girth. She pushed one hand against her mouth to hold back any further cries of pain. She'd heard about this, but never thought to experience it.
Inch by slow inch he entered her until he was all the way in. He smirked and slowly withdrew till just the tip was in and then plunged inside, pulling moans from from her lips. He reached down to rub her sensitive nub between her legs, earning moans of pleasure from her as he continued to thrust inside her, enjoying how her body gripped him.
"All of you," he growled, taking her repeatedly, claiming her in every primal way possible.
Before he reached his climax he pulled out and rubbed himself along the crease of her ass, releasing the first couple of streams all over her back.
Kera shuddered at the feeling of his hot seed hitting her back. He rolled her over and finished cumming on her chest and stomach.
Satisfied, he fell onto his back and pulled her against him so that her head rested on his chest and her hot little body molded against his side. He kissed the top of her head and lay there with a smirk on his lips.
"Jas," she sighed softly, as she pushed back enough to look him in the eyes. "You okay?" She traced his jaw line, but her gaze remained locked to his.
"I am now." Jason grinned as he pulled a cigarette from his pack.
"Promise?" She leaned up to rest on his chest, but still gazed into his eyes so he could see the concern in hers.
"Leiko's having a baby," He sighed. "Kinda makes me wish I had a family of my own." He glanced down at the woman in his arms. "Maybe we could have one of our own someday." He grinned as he lit the end of his cigarette.
"I've often thought about it," she admitted softly, sharing one of her most guarded secrets with him. "Having a family some day." She kissed his chest. "Just didn't know if I'd ever find a guy, ya know?" She sighed and folded her hand under her chin. "Would you really want to? With me?" She titled her head to one side.
"You really get me." Jason smiled. " We're like... perfect for each other." His thumb stroked her lips. "Don't ruin this moment now. Just enjoy it."
"When you pulled away from me earlier," she rested her head against his chest, "I wondered if I'd done something wrong?" She sighed and drew a circle on his left pec.
"You could never do anything wrong, baby. And I'm sorry. I was caught up in my little moment," he sighed. "Never again, kay?"
"Okay." She smiled and kissed his chest, then rested her hand on his other shoulder and closed her eyes.
XOXOXO:
Earlier downstairs Kagome and Bankotsu had decided to walk outside and were talking.
"I can't believe Kera was going to let him do it." Kagome wrapped her arms around her waist. She'd expected her sister to be less tolerant of her boyfriend's actions.
"To be honest, I doubt she could have stopped him." He grinned. "Her boyfriend is a big guy."
"Still, she could have at least tried."
"And likely would have gotten herself in a lot of hot water, if not accidentally injured. It's only because of her quick reflexes and her speed that she didn't end up breaking that idiot's fall when he sailed through the door."
"You're taking her side?" Kagome huffed, then stopped dead in her tracks and spun away, covering her face. "Couldn't they at least have closed the curtains?" She mumbled.
Bankotsu's gaze flicked to the window and he saw Jason pick Kera up and toss her onto the bed.
"Looks like somebody's having fun tonight," he mused.
"Ugh! I swear those two have no shame." Kagome shivered. "It's gross." Bankotsu chuckled. "It's not funny." She glared at him.
"It's natural, Kagome. Nothing to be ashamed of."
"They could at least keep it private."
"No one said we had to watch them through the window." He grinned as he saw Kera and Jason getting heavy into it. "Come on, let's walk a little ways off." He offered, draping an arm around her shoulder and pulling her closer to him to ward off the cool breeze.
Kagome knew Inuyasha would have a fit if he discovered they had snuck out to walk and clear their heads.
Well… she had, and Bankotsu had insisted on accompanying her, reminding her that it was dangerous to be out alone at night. Kind of sweet now that she thought about it. Nothing she would have expected from the blood thirsty killer she'd first met.
"You should cut Kera some slack," Bankotsu lightly admonished. "She's obviously crazy about the guy."
"That much is true. But, why? What does she see in him?"
"Only Kera can answer that." He replied with a careless shrug. He removed his haori and wrapped it around her shoulders. "Let's go back in before you catch a cold."
XOXOXO:
