Release Therapy

Walking along the sidewalk, I wasn't pulled that far from the other group. We were far enough to be able to make out some hushed words and conversations. Bankotsu had stopped not too far from the same spot where my hand was kissed. And by then, I figured that I had already, made up my mind about being a total bitch to him. Something that I never did. Hey. Times can be crucial.

"What." I snapped while looking off into the distance. My arms crossed with aggravation. This better be good.

"So. You're officially not talking to me…." I nodded with the angry glued face stuck on my head. "Oh I see…" He shuffled on his feet and I frowned at his awkwardness. There was a pause before I watched Bankotsu's eyes dart to Inuyasha. "You and Sanyosho huh…" He noticed the spark in my eyes. Before I could correct him however, he was already rattling on in a slow deep voice. It was almost painful to listen to him. Him and his strings of absent curses. I couldn't take it, I drew the line.

"So what exactly do you want?" I snapped. Bankotsu's eyes came back to me. They were grave and serious.

"Listen Kagome," He took the side of my face and I flinched. "I need you back…" Bankotsu? Oh please! I don't even fit his criteria. I looked up into his pleading eyes. My face softened.

"No." Was my only answer. I pulled his hand from off of me. I couldn't even look at his broken face before I started to walk back to Inuyasha. Bankotsu thought I was a pushover. That can't stay. Sorry.

I heard him call my name back, but I didn't listen. As far away from him is the best place for me right now. Nowhere else. Inuyasha caught sight of me leaving and I mumbled a quick.

"I'm okay." He eased and went on with the conversation that he really didn't feel like having. Kikyou however thought that this was the perfect opportunity for some bonding. She caught up to me putting on her best smile.

"Hey Kagome." I mumbled a mix between a "hi" and a "hey". I was too pissed for human words. Kikyou smirked.

"So you date Inuyasha now?" I didn't look at her.

"No." I sighed. Sad isn't it. A shocked look came to her face.

"Really? Then the whole thing during the movie and stuff-"Her voice trailed off. Oh that? Obviously I didn't want to explain that further.

"Um…it was nothing really…" I blushed of her obvious hints. But Kikyou was no fool. She read my redness anyway.

" I see…I see…" Her eyes fell on my hanyou again. "I remember those days being with Inuyasha…" A smile curled to her lips. "I think that the total bad ass personality gives him edge." I nodded playing with a leaf caught in the fence that we were leaning on…

"Is that so…"

"Yeah…if I could date him…I'd do it again…"

"Why?" I asked curiously. Now I was listening. She bit her lips smiling and raised her brows. I thought she would ansewer me, but then the most cruelest look came to her face. Then I knew why she wanted to be back with Inuyasha also. Yet even worse, Kikyou put the reason why me and Bankotsu broke up and the reason why she wanted Inuyasha. The math was lethal. Like a snob she turned her face up.

"I dunno…it's probably too grown for you." I gasped. The hurt hit me like a fire hose.

"What does that mean Kikyou!" I stood up right in front of her. She wasn't the least bit phased at my yelling.

"Is that too small for you too?" She smirked devilishly. "Get real Kagome. No one is ever going to love you with that little girl act your pulling." She cut her eyes. I could feel her real opinion burst out. "Your nothing but a little girl with boobs…" That was it! I felt my head get light.

"YOU BITCH!" I lunged at her jabbing her in her face. Kikyou gasped and soon, I was slapping and pulling at her head. Ieven took hold of her perfect hair and began pulling and tearing. She cried out, but instantly began trying to attack me back. The anger, the blazing little imp that tore at my nerves. Kikyou had enough and took her pointed hair comb out her hair and attempted to stab me with it. I maybe little, but I sure ain't dumb. Quick as ever, I remembered the one thing that Inuyasha ever taught me about girls fights. My tongue laced around her silver earring, and with all the might I could put on my jaws, I yanked it off. Earring, and lobe, and all. Kikyou screamed as blood trickled down her neck. By the time she started her screams, I was clawing at her. I heard voices and feet nearing me. Then I was lifted. Lifted just barely off the ground.

"Kagome! Kagome! Stop!" Inuyasha said gently. I heard him, but my bloody fingers were still snatching and pulling. Tears of hurt, anger, and fury fell from my eyes. Bankotsu was at Kikyou's side checking out her ear that was missing a piece of flesh. I tore off the piece with the piercing…

Inuyasha had already began pulling me away, I let a good spit at her before he hauled me off in my mad mood.


We had stopped by a small empty line of trees. I broke in Inuyasha's arms as he released me. Sinking in, realization hit. The worst of my feelings. I would always be a stupid little girl. The heavy mess of the world fell on me. And sadly, the worst tears I have ever cried came down on me. The saltiness littering my taste buds as I cried so hard that I couldn't even see properly. Inuyasha's scent lingered around me before I felt his strong arms crumple me into a loving hold. I held him so tightly.

"This sucks…" I whimpered. "This sucks so bad!..." He nodded and pulled from me to wipe my tears away.

"It'll be fine…don't worry…." His voice was a cooling like a medicine for burns. I was set on proving myself. Set that this wasn't my day. I dried my lonesome ears.

"I'm gonna be dumb forever…" I sunk into his chest. "Ugh! I'm such an idiot!" Inuyasha chuckled and I could hear the vibrations from his throat.

"True. But you're my idiot." The tears slowed, and I slugged him lightly yet again.

"Shut up Inuyasha…" Something on my face had caught his attention and I saw his eyes lock on it. Then with the part animal trait he had, his face was brought near mine and his tongue had lightly dragged across my cheek. I stiffened instantly, both of us quickly pulling away.

"Aye! Inuyasha!"I squeaked. He made an innocent look.

"Heh heh, it's a dog habit…"He grinned. I touched my cheek and he suddenly remembered why he had licked me. "Was that your blood?" My mind spun back to the memory of me wrapping my tongue around Kikyou's earring.

"Um…." I began to hesitate. "Not exactly…" He put two and two together and I watched as his gold eyes widened with surprise.

"What did you do before I got over there?" I stared at the ground as though the answer laid asleep under my ankles.

"Well…I kind took part of her earlobe off…" I winced at my own brutality. It wasn't that much. I couldn't really understand why, but he actually smiled.

"Oh…so you took my word about the earring trick huh?" I nodded slowly and felt a piece of the broken clasp under my tongue. He watched as I spat out the sterling silver before I was about to get sick in the grass.

"It was scary…..there was so much blood and-"Inuyasha shook his head.

"Think of what could have happened to you if you didn't fix her right then and there. " The thought was mind numbing. I'd probably have one eye or something I that range. My eyes drifted to Bankotsu and company. I could see Kikyou pointing towards us (most likely me) screaming off at him. She was holding her torn ear. Somehow, it wasn't satisfying seeing her there in pain and angry. Inuyasha's hand took my wrist.

"Come on, let's just go do something else before we get arrested..." That was certainly a better idea. We could continue our walk, but without any stalkers…


Inuyasha and I walked down far enough to realize that we were in a harbor. I know that harbor..This was where I spent my days with Bankotsu. Me, him, and his stupid yacht in which he insisted we shared. I caught the silver bullet in the sea bobbing slowly. Lights like a Christmas tree. Inuyasha followed my gaze out into the water to the well sized yacht.

"Cool isn't it?" He asked. Boy did I know. It most likely was the reason why I had stayed in my relationship.

"Oh that? That's Bankotsu's yacht. Richy rich boy insists that he's sharing it with me." I rolled my eyes .

"Well what are we doing here?" I gasped.

"Inuyasha! We can't do that-"

"Why?" He shrugged casually. Now I could see the bad ass turn on… I dried my sweating palms.

"That's trespassing!"

"Do you have stuff on there?" He asked. I thought about this for a moment. Well…come to think of it, I did have my summer stuff that I kept in there. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to just "take" them. We exchanged smirks.

"Why Inuyasha, what such a devilish smile you have!" I sad mimicking our red riding hood skit as we moved down the dock.

"Only evil enough for revenge my dear…" Oh yes. Sweet revenge alright. We'll show those two. How about a little hang out in the yacht?
