Chapter twenty:

The next morningBankotsu and Naien woke up early and spent the entire morning looking for a suitable camping spot to set up camp and watch for the others.

They came across an open field with a lining of trees, in case of trouble. A hot spring was just to one side of their camp and about ten feet away from the other side was the river.

Bankotsu nodded. "This is as close to perfect as we are likely to find."

Naien dropped her bag and started collecting stones.

Keeping her in sight Bankotsu collected fire wood.

Once she had enough stones Naien dropped them by where the fire pit was going to go.

Bankotsu dropped his load of wood.

They walked over collecting two more loads of wood and dropped them off.

Bankotsu stared at her. "We should forage for berries and nuts while it's still daylight."

She nodded and they collected various nuts and berries.

Bankotsu stopped mid stride to take in the breath taking view of the land, trees and nature in general as he gazed at the vast expanse of land before him. Spotting the spring he. "This is definitely the spot."

Naien allowed her gaze to travel the spot they'd picked. "Oh definitely love, definitely." She dropped the food into her bag.

Bankotsu knelt where the rocks had been piled and thrust his fingers into the dirt, digging out a pit. Circling the pit with the rocks he arranged the fire wood in the pit and clapped two of the stones together starting the fire.

Taking Naien's hand he led her off into the woods and they hunted a deer. Once the deer was down Bankotsu tossed it over his shoulder and led the way back to camp. He used some of the bigger and longer sticks to set up a make shift roasting thing over the top of the fire. After whittling an edge to two of the thickest sticks, he speared the meat and set them over the fire to roast.

While they were waiting for the meat to roast he led her over to the hot spring.

Bankotsu removed the knife from behind his back, setting it aside. He removed his armor and hers, before stripping his clothes and tossed them aside. He reached out and freed her soft brown silk from its almost nonexistent tie, running his fingers through it. Making sure to rub her skin and tease her body he slowly stripped her. His sapphire eyes glimmered with amusement and desire the entire time.

XOXOXO:

WARNING! LEMON from here until next warning!

His hands lifted to her face cupping her cheek. He smiled and pulled her closer. Their lips met and he rubiginous eyes closed. His lips moved seductively over hers. She placed her hands on his chest and leaned in to him. His hands went around her waist. It didn't take long for the battle of the tongues to begin. He pulled her lithe body flush against his hardened planes. She wrapped her arms around his neck.

He scooped her into his arms earning a started yelp from the woman. Surprising her further he quickly walked into the steamy water. Stopping by the best spot, one with a boulder for a backing, he slid her body down his slowly teasing them both as he lowered her to her feet. They sat down. Naien closed her eyes leaning back against the rock allowing the warm liquid to work the tension loose from her stiff muscles.

She lifted her hands above her allowing the water to cascade over her body and rinse the grime away, leaving fresh slightly tanned skin in its place.

Bankotsu just sat there watching her almost mesmerized as his eyes drank in her naked for, lingering over the scars until the slightly glowing water cut off his view. He emitted a strangled sound of disappointment, causing her eyes to slide open.

He chuckled and lowered his lips to her exposed neck. His moist kisses set her body on fire. She ran her fingers over his back making him shiver. His lips touched her collarbone and he went lower. She made a little humming sound in her throat. He smiled

Moving back enough to hold her gaze, Bankotsu swiftly flexed his arms as he placed her in his lap, \capturing her mouth in a dominate and demanding, passion filled kiss.

'How can it be possible for a man like Bankotsu to love someone like me?' Unconsciously her grip tightened on him just to make sure that he was really with her.

He pulled back breaking the kiss and stood up with her now in his arms. Spinning around he pushed her up against the rock. Leaning over he began adeptly placing addicting little butterfly kisses along her collar bone. After a minute he kissed his way back to her full pouty lips. Naien dug her nails into his back and purred before deepening the kiss.

Bankotsu released her lips to nibble and play with her neck a while, before capturing her nipple in his mouth. She moaned pulling him closer and wrapped her arms around his neck. She nibbled his earlobe while she freed hisatrous silky tresses from their tie. She ran her fingers through his thick locks spilling them over his shoulder and smiled

"That's better."

His hand went up tracing the scar on her outer thigh, before drawing sensuous circles along her inner thigh scars and up her bare back. She moaned again. His nails dug into the skin on her waist. She gasped. He sucked on her throat panting against her. She shifted her head to kiss and suckle his neck. He groaned and his hand went down her back scratching her. She moaned softly and licked his throat. He gasped and pulled her closer to him. Both were panting harshly as their bodies rubbed against each other.

He grunted and cupped his hand over her breast lightly squeezing it. She moaned arching into his hand. He growled and nipped at her collar bone. She mewled. He shivered against her. Her tongue snaked out to lick his ear, before nibbling on his ear lobe. Her hand ran along his arm. His skin prickled sensually at the strange sensation.

She ran her hands along his back and kissed down his neck, sucking softly. He moaned loudly when she stopped to suck right above his color bone.

She smiled and ran her tongue along the hot skin. She felt his full weight against her as he completely relaxed. He licked his lips and kissed her again. His hands slowly traveled up her flat, toned stomach.

His rough hands always felt so good on her. She felt sensations stirring in her lower areas. When his hands reached her breast she gasped and arched her back.

His mouth left hers to travel down her chest. His tongue snaked out touching her every now and then, making her body burn on the inside.

He closed his eyes and groaned, when she rubbed her most sensitive area against his stomach. He gave her breast a firm squeeze. He glanced up at her to find eyes fluttering closed. Her mouth was open as she gasped softly. Knowing exactly the effect he was having on her, he gave her a deadly smirk.

He pulled her legs apart and grinded his hard arousal against her. She gasped. Bankotsu placed his hands at her hips and slid them down to grab her ass, proceeding to lift her up. She wrapped her legs around his hips.

Bankotsu settled his staff at her entrance. He rocked against her gently at first, before pushing against her so hard they both felt friction burn.

'Fuck, I can't wait to be inside her.' His hands tightened on her cheeks and he reared back slamming fully inside her, before withdrawing until only the tip remained inside.

He plunged forward filling her to the brim and slowly pulled out leaving only the tip inside. Her breathy little noises spurred him to a quicker pace as he drove deeply, panting against her shoulder.

His face was flushed and his bangs brushed against his forehead with every thrust. He filled her up completely. His eyes were on hers filled with his lust and something else. She wrapped her legs around him and pushed moved with him, meeting him thrust for thrust.

He groaned and his eyes fluttered closed. He bit his lip pushing in again. Naien felt the pleasure coursing through her over and over again. When her eyes locked with his she felt butterflies in her stomach. She wrapped her arms around him pulling him closer and her lips against his.

"Naien," he moaned against her lips. She smiled, loving the husky way he called her name. His eyes met with hers never leaving hers.

Her head went back and she bit her lip. He felt sweat forming on his forehead and back. Her hands wrapped around his waist, her nails dug into his back as she neared her peak.

Her nails ran down his back making him shudder against her. He panted harder. The primal urge to hear her screaming his name urged him faster. He growled and moved fast and hard, hurting her in a pleasurable way.

She broke the kiss panting heavily as her climax approached. She hit her peak screaming out his name. He pistoned into her again and released his seed into her, hoarsely crying out his own release.

They collapsed against the rock and he placed his forehead against hers, waiting until they caught their breaths.

Naien nuzzled her head against his chest. "Mmm you know exactly how to please me."

Bankotsu chuckled huskily. "You my little vixen just keep getting better and better."

They kissed a moment and pulled apart so he could retrieve her shampoo. Taking turns they bathed each others bodies and washed each other's hair. They climbed out and dried off before dressing.

XOXOXO:

WARNING! END LEMON!

He led her back to the camp. "We will eat soon." Sitting down he checked the venison.

Naien's tummy rumbled and she ducked her head slightly embarrassed.

Feeling his own stomach growl in response to the delicious smelling meat Bankotsu chuckled. "It's almost ready."

A few minutes later he plucked the meat off the fire and handed her the stick. "Careful it'll be hot," His mouth watered as he tried to wait for the meat to cool enough to eat. The tantalizing aroma in the air did little to aid his waning patience.

She smiled. "Thanks," she puckered her lips and blew on the meat, cooling it slightly. She tried to fight the alluring aroma as her saliva built up.

Once it was finally cool enough she bit into the meat and let out a tiny pleasure filled moan because it was so succulent.

Bankotsu smirked at the moan. "It's good, huh?"

Naien nodded. "But not as much as you, so no worries." She winked flirtily at him before sinking her teeth into her meat again.

"That's a relief," Bankotsu laughed and ripped into his meat as well.

They sat eating their meal together in a companionable silence. After they finished eating Naien felt the past few day's activities catching up on her and was unable to stifle a huge yawn.

Seeing her yawn he stood to his feet. "Nap time, sleepy," he effortlessly scooped her into his strong arms, cradling her against his warm chest. He carried her over to their blankets and settled on the blankets with her.

She smiled and curled into his warm chest drifting into a soundless slumber.

He lay there holding her in his arms and watched the sunlight dancing in her hair. He watched her chest rise and fall as she slept peacefully, with one hand over the hilt of her sword.

His cerulean eyes traveled over every inch of her smooth skin that wasn't covered by her clothing and he drank in all the details, committing to memory every dip and curve of her beautiful face.

His finger lightly traced the strong line of her jaw and along her smooth cheek before slowly going back down to trace her full soft lips. Leaning over he brushed a chaste kiss over her lips and then sat up smiling into the sky as a light breeze tousled his atrous bangs.

Closing his eyes he let the cool, revitalizing air flow over his face and thought about the woman who'd won him over. 'She's an angel as far as I'm concerned, an angel made specifically for me.'

Leaning back on his elbows he stretched out on the ground a while and enjoyed the peaceful quiet as the breeze flowed over his hot skin. One hand unconsciously reached for and wrapped around one of her delicate hands. He rolled over onto his side and opened his eyes, content with just watching her sleep - for now.

Once her breathing ceased to hold his attention, he stood up and began canvassing the camp for possible weak spots. He gripped Banryu's handle tightly. 'Nothing more we can do until that stupid mutt and the others finally show up.'

Once he was satisfied the camp would be secure enough, he sat beside Naien and placed her head in his lap. He continued watching over her while she took a long needed rest.

XOXOXO:

A few hours laterNaien woke up to a strong hand running through the silky strands of her chestnut colored hair. Opening her eyes she smiled at Bankotsu.

He smiled back.

She leaned up placing a chaste kiss on his lips and then pulled back. "What's up?"

"Nothing, I was just enjoying watching you sleep."

Smiling she laid her head against his wide chest and felt peace and happiness fill the air between them.

Her stomach rumbled causing her to blush and him to laugh. Standing up he led her over to their fire and handed her some smoked boar.

"Thank you." She ate the meat and then looked at him. "You realize with the baby created, this means we need to move as soon as the others get here, right?"

He sighed and nodded. "What's the urgency though?"

Naien held his gaze. "If we wait too long, Hakudoshi will be created as well. He's like Naraku - pure evil incarnate, but he's the size and disguise of an eleven year old child."

'Seriously, just a kid? No problem.' Bankotsu scoffed. "I can handle a child."

Naien shook her head. "He looks like a child Ban, but he is no kid. He kills far more dangerously than any kid ever could. If I recall all the details correctly, once he's born - he finds Entei's owner and kills him without a qualm taking Entei as his own horse."

Bankotsu whistled. "Wasn't Entei's owner a demon?"

Naien nodded. "If we can stop Hakudoshi from being created, that'll solve two major problems. Once Naraku gets the infant split in half though, it'll be too late." She frowned.

Bankotsu nodded. "So this infant is Naraku's heart and eventually gets split in two. One half becoming this 'Hakudoshi' character and the other…?"

"The other half remains the human heart of Naraku. But that baby is far more dangerous than any other." She warned gravely.

Bankotsu nodded.

Pulling out a notebook and a pencil Naien jotted down everything she could remember about the series and each character's involvement.

Bankotsu paced. 'What is taking those bakas so long? They better hurry up and get their asses here.'

Naien continued allowing her pencil to fly across the papers as she wrote down every detail she could recall from the cartoon and the four movies.

Bankotsu wasn't going to like what would come next, but she was prepared to fight to get him to realize, the importance of sharing the information with the others.

Her knowing the series from beginning to end and all four movies would be a major advantage for them. The hardest part would be convincing her head strong warrior to share the info with the Inutachi. Harder still would be to convince him it would be his idea to share the info.

Chewing her lower lip she continued writing her lists. Once everything she could possibly remember was written down she closed the pad and took a deep breath.

Bankotsu stopped pacing long enough to realize she'd finished writing in her book. He walked over pointing to the now closed book in her lap. "So what's that?"

Naien's eyes met and held his. "It's a list of everything I can remember from the series and the four movies. Every character's involvement, weaknesses, strengths - every single detail I can recall." She took another deep breath.'"It's a good thing I analyzed the entire series, even the mangas, nearly as thoroughly as I did Bankotsu.'

Bankotsu blinked astounded and more than impressed by how smart his beautiful little vixen was. Smirking he reached over to pluck the book from her lap.

She shook her head "Not yet, first we need to settle something."

He scowled. 'How dare she defy me?'

Naien pinned him with a serious gaze. "Here's the thing - we're gonna have to share at least some of this with the others. The information in here could prove very valuable against Naraku, at any turn he takes."

Watching his scowl deepen she suggested softly, "I'll tell you what, you look it over and decided what we will and won't tell them about, but we're gonna have to share at least some of it."

Thinking it over, he nodded. "You realize this means we have to tell them at least some of how you know all this, right?"

She stared intently into his eyes and nodded. "I'll leave that up to you."

His eyes widened slightly. 'She's leaving the information decisions to me and trusting my judgment.' His chest puffed out. 'I'm glad that she is using her brains and leaving the ultimate decision to her man, like a good woman should,' Bankotsu scanned the information, mentally filing away what would be shared and what wouldn't.

XOXOXO:
