The ride on top of Kirara's back was long, a few hours at least, but it felt like a day's ride for the two tired warriors. Sango's gash under her ear was now thickly covering the left side of her head with blood, while her hand had been covered by a clean piece of Bankotsu's hakama, which was amazing as his body was drenched over with blood, not to mention the still dried demon's slime and blood from before.
"So what do we tell them?", said Bankotsu after a long silence.
It took Sango a moment to realize what he was talking about,"Oh, well we have to tell them why we're covered in blood..."
"Naturally,"agreed Bankotsu.
It was just a simple embrace between two friends was it not? Without looking at each other, they went back into silence.
"What was that green demon I saw?",said Sango after a while.
Bankotsu sighed,"Dunno but it was tough, the bastard survived the Banryuu."
They lapsed back into uncomfortable silence. Time had a way of going slower when you want it to go faster (SCHOOL!).
"Bankotsu..,"said Sango,"Hope you don't..well.."
Despite having a relatively low I.Q, Bankotsu understood the words. Sango was saying or trying to say that she didn't want Bankotsu to take what happened the wrong way. She only tried helping him regain his identity, she only cared for him as a friend. Bankotsu too cared for Sango just as a close friend, but then why did the two of them feel so awkward now?
Bankotsu nodded to show he understood and tried to think about something else. There wasn't much to think about other than more than a thousand screams he's heard and his adventures the last weeks. With a frustrated sigh he looked below to watch the scenery of green healthy trees besides the winding road below.

Kagome had not exactly had a great vacation. Sakura had bugged her the whole time about her and Hojo, she had the restraining necklace and the choice of what do with it, and when she stepped out of the well she found a bloody and battered Sango and Bankotsu waiting right outside the well with Inuyasha and Miroku questioning them.
Inuyasha noticed her, overpacked with packs of sugared drinks and junk foods as usual, and motioned her to come over. Bankotsu tiredly pointed to Sango's ear and the bloody rags that had come from it, and after a few moments, Inuyasha said he would take Sango back to Kaede's when the quick to answer Miroku said nothing. As usual, Inuyasha was clueless of any relationships and tenseness between his companions.
Bankotsu sat down, and tiredly propped his body agains the nearby tree. He wanted to just sleep for a full day and night, but he knew he would be bombarded by questions from a suspicious dog.
"So what happened, mercenary?", asked Inuyasha accusingly.
Yup, there it was.

The inspection of Sango was quick and simple. Infection might settle in, but since the wound was still bleeding Kagome was able to clean and disinfect it with her battered box of medicine, which was wedged between a pack of instant ramen and a six pack of pop. The wound on her hand looked deeper on closer inspection, even though it had stopped bleeding first. Kaede swore Sango was blessed with luck when she saw that none of Sango's major artery's hadn't been touched. Bandage and medicine also covered the wounded hand. Bankotsu had minor cuts and bruises covering his entire body. Claw marks from the reincarnation of Naraku were on his arms and his ruined clothes were now torn and stained strips of cloth. His hakama had survived with only a few rips at his knees. Kagome only disinfected the wounds that were more than two inches long, there were just too many.
Ever suspicious Inuyasha checked Sango's story, getting the same thing except the fact they were seperated. Both of them never mentioned Bankotsu's transformation.
"-then I cut the demon in half and Kagura fled",finished Bankotsu.
"Sounds like Kagura was waiting to get you on your own Bankotsu,"said Miroku.
"Or something close to it,"added Shippo.
Kaede looked uncomfortable,"I don't understand why Naraku would have sent Kagura and so many demons instead of going himself."
Kagome thought a moment then spoke slowly,"What if...what if he was afraid that Inuyasha would appear any moment to fight him?"
Shippo snorted,"Yeah right, who'd be afraid of Inuyasha?"
Thud.
"OWW INUYASHA YOU JERK!", said Shippo, covering the large lump forming on his head.
"SIT BOY!", shouted Kagome angrily.
Inuyasha fell face first onto the floor, and he rose after a few seconds, sporting a bloody nose.
Bankotsu laughed,"I never get tired of watching the mutt eat dirt because of a little curse on him!"
"You BASTARD!", yelled Inuyasha.
"I usually wouldn't sink this low, but takes one to know one!"
"SAY THAT TO THIS GIANT PIECE OF METAL IN MY HAND!"
"HALF-BREED!"
"LOSER!"
"WASTE OF SPACE!"
"WASTE OF LIFE!"
While Inuyasha and Bankotsu continued to bicker, Kaede motioned silently to Kagome. Kagome sighed and took hold of something in her hand.
"YOU WANT TO FIGHT THIS OUT?!"
"I DON'T FIGHT UNARMED MERCENARIES, ESPECIALLY ONE AS WEAK AS YOU!"
"WHY? CAUSE YOU KNOW SHIPPO CAN BEAT YOU IF HE TURNS INTO A HEAVY SACK AND DROPS ON YOUR HEAD?!"
"Excuse me but-", started Kaede"
"ILL KICK YOUR DAMNED -"
"SHUT UP!", yelled Shippo.
Inuyasha and Bankotsu instantly stopped and stared at Shippo. The fox demon quickly became timid under their gazes and quickly moved over to Kagome's side.
"Kagome if you would take out the necklace...", said Kaede.
Inuyasha was shocked,"You're going to take this thing off?"
Bankotsu snorted,"Of course she's not mutt, every owner needs to put a leash on their dog!"
Inuyasha looked ready to retort but Kagome pierced him with a heavy stare.
"Well see Bankotsu, Kaede gave me this,"she took the necklace out and before she could continue, Bankotsu took it.
Bankotsu eyed it,"What is this some kinda apology necklace from the old one eyed hag?"
Kaede looked ready to resume Inuyasha's position argueing but controlled herself.
"No, see its the kind of necklace that Kaede-", Kagome started.
"Ehh, I accept", and Bankotsu slipped the necklace on.
Everyone stared at him with their mouths wide open..
"BANKOTSU!", yelled Kagome when she found her voice.
"What?"
"Didn't you know what that necklace around Inuyasha's neck did?"
"Uhh no,"said the poorly unaware mercenary.
"Whenever I say sit (OWW KAGOME!) Inuyasha does..that."
Bankotsu looked horrorstruck,"So what's my command?"
Sango who had been silent the whole time turned to Kaede,"He doesn't have a command, it won't affect him right?"
Kaede looked ready to burst with laughter, a very rare thing for her,"Oh yes he does."
Kagome waited a few moments, and then said impatiently,"Well what's Bankotsu's-"
BAM!
Bankotsu hit the ground and actually split the old wood with his head.
Inuyasha and Miroku roared with laughter, and Sango, despite herself, let out a high pitched giggle.
Kagome was red in the face and said,"Umm what'd I say?"
Bankotsu put two shaking hands to the floor and pushed so he was in a push up position with his knees on the floor.
"My name", the mercenary said, and he fainted.
