(with bankotsu)

The sun rose again for the third day of bankotsu's journey. He can't believe that he hadn't found banryu yet. "it seems like I been walking around in circles!" he thought angrily. He smirked. " hah I bet that wench is already laying on the ground dead" and an image of her appeared in his mind, laying on the cold ground all bloody and naked.

Wait what! He don't care if she got naked in front of him right now! She would turn him off in an instant, like a bucket of water being thrown on a blazing fire. He was wrong though. When sensai had told him to clean her dirt stained body, he couldn't stop staring at her person. He admired her shape. She was lucky he wasn't the kind of guy to take advantage of a woman while she slept, for he would have taken her long ago.

"that's it! How can I forget!" his eyes widen as a plan formed in his evil little mind.

"she does owe me and to make it better, she owes me for getting her 400 yen, for saving her life, and for helping her find someone to train her" bankotsu rubbed his hand together in a greedy manner. He was ,so, gonna make her give her all to him. He then imagined her underneath him, holding her delicate neck in his hands while pounding senselessly into her. Bankotsu licked his lips and grinned.

"now first I'll have to get banryu then find that woman and if she don't look to cooperate, so help me kami, I'll make her cooperate." he said already finishing his plan. He some how sensed where to go as the wind blew to the right. He smirked.

"to the right it is" he spoke to himself walking in that direction.

(kaede's village)

Kagome woke up hearing voices around her, but she had yet to open her eyes. Her eyebrows drew together as she concentrated on the voices.

"I am so relieved to have kagome back" exclaimed a very happy sango.

"me too!" shippo agreed.

Kagome smiled still with her eyes closed. She wanted to listen on what else was being said when suddenly she had a very strong urge to let out a big yawn. Finally not being able to hold it in anymore. She yawned and a very loud one too. This got everyone's attention. Kagome just gave in and opened her eyes. When shippo saw this he was the first one to jump at kagome. She sat up and caught him in mid air. She looked at him lovingly and embraced him close to her chest.

"I missed you kagome!" he said returning kagome's embrace.

"and I missed you to shippo"

Sango got up and walked over to kagome, kneeling down in front of her, she tried to hold her composure. But she couldn't take it anymore, she reached out and hugged kagome tightly.

"oh kagome we were so worried about you" said sango holding in threatening tears.

"im so sorry I shouldn't have left you guys like that." kagome returned the hug and felt guilt hit her full force.

"that does not matter anymore lady kagome, as long as you're here without any injuries , that's all that matters." said miroku smiling.

"thank you miroku" she smiled back. She wanted to hug him but that damned hand of his couldn't keep to itself.

"where's inuyasha?" she asked curiosity getting the best of her.

"we don't know after he brought you here, we didn't see him again" replied the demon slayer.

Kagome nodded in understanding but she still wished inuyasha was her when she woke up. She was broken out of thought when she heard miroku speak.

"kagome tell us why you disappeared suddenly?"

"well... you should probably make yourselves comfortable, this will be a long story." she warned them before telling them about her journey.

-15 minutes later-

Everyone was gathered around kagome with their eyes wide open. She said everything from start to finish but she skipped the parts with bankotsu and almost getting violated. They didn't need to know all of that now did they? Of coarse not. After her story she apologized for not letting them know of her plans in training to become stronger at battling.

As the sun came down and the pale moon rose up, kagome still hadn't seen her beloved hanyou. She was beginning to worry but what if he was with kikyou all this time? She sure didn't want to see them with her eyes for it will hurt her painfully. She sighed. Then sensed something. It was jewel shards! She got up quickly grabbing her sword and arrows in the process.

"it's coming from inuyasha's forest"

Bankotsu was on the brink of giving up, when saw someone up a head. It was some male villager. Bankotsu walked up to him. The man hadn't noticed for he was very into collecting pieces of wood. Starting to become impatient, bankotsu cleared his throat loudly. The man was startled and turned to bankotsu.

"excuse me sir, but is there a village near by?" asked bankotsu looking for a place to spend the night.

The man nodded; "yes if you head a little bit west you'll find a village."

"thanks" with that said, bankotsu headed to the village. As he got closer stepping onto a hill, he could see a forest and beyond that was the village. He saw the fire that were kept in each hut providing light and warmth for the home keepers. He started down the small hill and into the darkened woods. Thats when he felt it. To him it felt like banryu was calling out for him.

"I'm coming baby" he said to himself smirking.

He started into a run with his long hair flying behind him. He noticed someone ahead as he skidded to a stop. Narrowing his bright blue eyes he saw that it was that miko. That kagome wench. She was looking at something rather long, sharp, and shinny. Bankotsu then got excited. "banryu!"

" man, I'm blessed. Not only have I found banryu but that idiot of a priestess as well. Now I will get my repayment one way or another." he thought evilly edging closer to her.
