Bankotsu quickly pulled on his clothes and walking rapidly towards the door. "fucking wench". the woman that he had sex with stood up, quickly wrapping her arms around him making im stop in his tracks.

"where are you going babe?"

"that's none of your business" he said moving her hands from around him.

He walked into the living room looking area of the house where he saw lots of drunken men passed out. He shook his head in shame and picked up his banryu, putting it upon his shoulder. He walked out, looking at the sky, he noticed that it was still dark out. Without looking back he dashed through where he saw kagome heading.

"I'll teach that wench a lesson when I find her"

--

Kagome starting groaning as she came to. Her eyes opened half way, she felt a strong pain to the back of her head. She was about to place a hand, when she realized something was bonding her hands together. Taking a quick glance around her, she saw a rope tied tightly around her wrists.

She then looked ahead at the blazing fire before her. She saw the demons in deep conversation with the light from the fire making them visible. Seeing by the lack of light, kagome also realized that they placed her on the darker side of the camp.

"your awaken" the voice spoke very lowly for only kagome to hear.

Kagome was startled a bit and turned her head quick to look at the person. When she looked closely she could make out a young girl and by the sound of her breathing she seemed to be a thick one at that.

"I'm sorry for scaring you." she said apologizing while smiling.

"its ok." kagome said happy that she wasn't the only human there.

"my name's shugoko." she said smiling.

" I'm kagome"

"a pleasure kagome" she nodded.

"what's going on?" kagome asked confused.

"try not to talk to loud but these demon came upon me while I was gathering some herbs for my village." she replied quietly.

"oh" was all kagome said.

Suddenly a demon spun his head towards their direction. Smiling viciously, he stood up walking to kagome and shugoko. They both started to get frightened with every step he took. Then he spoke.

"look here captian the humans have awakened."

"haha! Bring them here." said the green demon from before.

The demon held both girls by their arms and dragged them towards the leader. With a hard push he made them both kneel. The green demon placed his hands on his chin in a thinking manner.

"we'll have to devour the fat one, naraku needs the other wench and besides, she has a lot of meat…haha! Just the way I like it." he said licking his lips as his sharp teeth grew. One of the demons dug it's claws in shugoko's dark brown hair pulling it and dragging her towards the other demons. With out mercy the demon leader pierced through her stomach with his claw pulling out her intestines and jamming them into his hungry mouth. Another bit a huge piece of her thick thigh. She let out an ear piercing scream that echoed through the forest.

Seeing this, another demon put their hands on her upper jaw and lower jaw ,he started to pull it open until a loud snap was heard; he bent down ripping off her tongue with his fangs and swallowing it with one gulp. Kagome tried to help her but only received a fist to her temple. Kagome fell on her side from the strong blow. Her vision was fogged. Closing her eyelids tightly trying to clear her vision, she opened them again and saw someone looking down at her.

Her eye sight was so blurry that she couldn't make out who the person was. She saw him turn his head towards the demon who were eating savagely. They seemed to notice him and greeted.

"Ahh bankotsu, come join us lad"

Kagome held her breath. "bankotsu!" she opened her mouth to speak but no words came. She slowly closed it back as she saw him join them.

"here. Have some sake." the green demon said pouring some for him in a cup.

Bankotsu took a quick glance at kagome. Deep within her caramel orbs he could see the sadness being trapped there. He looked back to the demon replying.

"no thanks. But what I'd like to know is why your all here?" he said showing no emotion.

"well we're on our way to naraku's castle. We had planed to cause havoc to a village near by but our plans have been delayed when we came upon that wench" he said nodding his head towards kagome.

"I see. You can pass her over to me" said bankotsu with a grin.

"are you sure you want this?" asked the demon

"certain. Actually I was heading there now myself" he said some what saying the truth.

"ah what a relief. I, thank you bankotsu" he said with a small bow of his head.

Bankotsu stood up with banryu in hands and started to leave, when the demon spoke making him stop.

"your going there now?"

"the sooner the better" bankotsu replied walking again.

The demon nodded in agreement. Bankotsu walked over to kagome pulling her up to her feet pretending to act harsh. He dragged her out of ear shot near a very wide old tree. Bankotsu ripped the ropes off her wrists and pushed her back against a tree. He looked at her enraged. When she looked up at him, his emotions betrayed him as he soften his gaze at her a little.

They heard thunder above and without a second warning rain fell upon them. bankotsu looked up then back at kagome. They both had their bangs wet and plastered on their foreheads as they looked at each other. Bankotsu then pressed his body against her , with his hands on the tree beside both sides of her head. He towered over her as rain patted on his back.

"why did you leave me?" bankotsu asked with no emotion.

"I-I-…..I don't know" she lied.

"just don't do that again understood?"

She nodded with an 'mhm' and placed her forehead on his chest, she brought her hands and put her palm softly on his chest armor. He lowered his head to her neck and kept his tender lips there. Kagome let out the air she didn't realize she was keeping in. he pulled back a bit to look at her. She looked up at him. She felt like she was being hypnotized as she went onto her toes, separating her lips. He just looked at her with a blank expression as she came closer to him.

She closed her eyes, pushing out her lips a bit. Their lips were inches apart but for her being shorter than him, she couldn't reach him. She waited to see if he would make the effort to kiss her. It never happened. She gave up as she began to lower down from her toes, she was caught off guard when he captured her lips in his. She looked at him but saw his beautiful blue eye closed behind his lashes. she did the same closing hers. He being the bolder one, sucked her bottom lip. She opened her lips running her tongue inside his mouth.

He felt her tongue and with the tip of his, he licked the along the side of her tongue. Bakotsu felt intoxicated with how sweet her lips tasted. If he knew earlier she tasted this good he would have kissed her a long time ago.he put an unbelievable passion into their kiss. She sucked in his bottom lip into her mouth, feeling this, his let out a breathless groan as he placed both hands on each of her cheeks. She held the sides of his kimono pulling him closer.

Bankotsu wanting to kiss her some more, forced himself to stop. They both were breathless. He put his forehead on hers and closed his eyes. He felt more relaxed than ever before. He looked back to the demon's camp and saw them sleeping under a shade.

He held kagome's hand to his lips.

"we're leaving" he breathed against her skin.

She nodded as he pulled her walking through the ran. He didn't notice that he still held kagome's hands in his but she did. She smiled happily walking side by side with him.
