Bankotsu tripped over his own feet and his face hit the ground. Hiten tripped over and landed on top of him. They didn't even realize everyone was staring at them.
Hiten grabbed the back of the mercenary's neck and pinned it to the ground with one hand and used the other to clutch his bad shoulder. Bankotsu groaned.
"Now…what didn't you hear?" He smirked.
"If I couldn't hear you…I couldn't tell you." He snickered and Hiten gripped the shoulder tighter. "Ah, fuck, fuck, you said thanks." He hissed.
"I said what?"
"Thanks!" He tried to yell but there was too much pressure on his throat.
"Couldn't hear you." Hiten taunted. Bankotsu groaned, karma was a bitch and it always seemed to bite him in the ass.
"You said thank you!" He gasped for air after he finished. Hiten lowered his head and whispered in his ear.
"Louder…"
"Hiten." Abi crossed her arms and glared at him.
"Abi." He glared back at her.
"Hiten." She repeated in a more irritated tone.
"Abi." He spat.
"Bankotsu…" The mercenary whispered in a dry voice. Hiten got off him, realizing by now he had to have cut off most of his air supply.
"Alright, are we leaving?" Inuyasha looked around.
"We can fend for ourselves." Bankotsu reassured as he rubbed his neck.
"Bankotsu….it would be safer to stay with them a little while longer…" Abi frowned.
"So fucking needy…" Hiten rolled his eyes. "We'll be fine."
"Fucking needy?" Abi cocked her eyebrow at him as he sat upright and Bankotsu sat beside him.
"Wow, you really never say the right thing at the right time….do you?" The young mercenary laughed.
"Shut up, who asked you?" He spat and Bankotsu rolled his eyes.
"If you insist." Inuyasha sighed and went to leave.
"Half-breed…allies?" Bankotsu smiled.
"Fine." He nodded and he and his friends left.
"Let's get out of here…" Yura frowned.
"This reminds me of the place we found Juromaru." Bankotsu shuddered as he got to his feet. Yura wrapped his arm around her shoulder and they limped out. Hiten groaned as he got to his feet and Abi just crossed her arms and stared at him.
"Well?"
"Well what?" She asked casually.
"Aren't you going to help me?"
"Are you that fucking needy?" She smirked and he growled.
"I could help." Jakotsu winked.
"No!' He said quickly and Abi giggled. Jakotsu let out a sigh of defeat and followed Bankotsu and Yura. Abi walked up to him.
"Say please." She whispered and he glared. She shrugged and went to walk outside.
"Please." He said quickly. She walked back over to him and smiled.
"Was that so bad?" He nodded yes. She rolled her eyes and put his arm around her shoulder and held him at the waist. She led him outside.

"We need to find a village…" Yura sighed as they sat in their new, one-room hut.
"For what? These bandages should hold out a few days." Abi asked.
"Well…you need your own shirt, you can't wear your boyfriend's forever, and I need some sake…and I guess some bandages wouldn't hurt." Bankotsu shrugged. Abi nudged him.
"He isn't my boyfriend." She felt her face get hot as she glared at him.
"But you want him to be." He winked and she growled.
"Hiten, come out of your corner." Yura crossed her arms.
"Bite me." He sighed.
"Gladly." Jakotsu purred and his eyes snapped open.
"Well…maybe we should wait until our wounds heal before we leave." Abi reasoned.
"I want sake." Bankotsu whined.
"Boo, hoo." Jakotsu mocked and he glared.
"Jakotsu and I are ok." Yura smiled.
"Jakotsu will get sidetracked shopping…" Bankotsu sighed.
"Hey!" He put his hands on his hips. "At least I'm not crippled!" He pointed and Bankotsu growled.
"Stop!" Abi shouted before they could go on. "Alright…we will need some supplies I guess…but who's going?"
"Me!" Bankotsu raised his good arm.
"No. You only have one thing on your mind right now." She glared.
"Then you go." He spat.
"I would but…"
"Take Hiten with you!" Yura added and she glared at her.
"Why don't we all just go?" Jakotsu suggested. Then everyone went to talk at once.
"Shut the hell up!" They all glanced up and saw Hiten, struggling to keep his balance. "You idiots are incapable of doing anything yourselves!" He glared at them. "Yura, get up."
"Why?" She furrowed her brows.
"You and I are going to a village to get what's needed…the rest will wait out here."
"Why do you guys get to go?" Jakotsu huffed.
"I can fly but she's not injured. Wait here." He winced as he attached his wheels.
"Hiten, you're injured pretty badly." Abi frowned at him.
'I'm…fine." He floated on his wheels and groaned.
"Alright, now don't forget, good sake." Bankotsu smiled and he rolled his eyes. He grabbed Yura by the waist and flew out.
"So…now what? Hey Abi?"
"Yeah?"
"If Hiten isn't your boyfriend, you're single, right?" He smiled and she glared at him.
"That would be yes." Jakotsu smiled.

"You look really stressed out." Bankotsu frowned.
"So?" Abi crossed her arms.
"How about a foot massage?" He smirked and she cocked her eyebrow at him.
"Say no…he uses his tongue." Jakotsu said in complete seriousness.
"You pervert!"
"Psh, at least I was trying to be nice."
"And what's that supposed to mean?" She demanded.
"You're a stone cold bitch lately and Hiten is a thick-skulled asshole, you treat each other horribly so I was trying to be the good guy." He rolled his eyes. He felt her clutch his ear and hissed.
"Who's a stone cold bitch?"
"Not you." He said through his teeth. The door opened and they all looked to Hiten and Yura.
"Alright…shirt." Yura threw the red clothing over Abi's head. "Sake." She handed Bankotsu the bottle. "And bandages." She put them in the middle of the group's circle. Hiten panted and sat down.
"You guys were gone for hours." Bankotsu smirked.
"Never….and I mean never, will I take you to shop for everyone." Hiten glared at Yura, who giggled.
"I feel disgusting…" Bankotsu sighed. "I'm still covered in dried blood and my hair…" He sighed.
"Try bathing." Abi snickered and he glared.
"There is another spring not far from here…" Yura smirked. "You guys can have it this time."
"I'm in!" Jakotsu leaned in. Hiten and Bankotsu said nothing.
"Grow up, you wash up tonight and we'll go when you get back." Abi rolled her eyes.
"Forget that…he'll be there." Hiten pointed to Jakotsu.
"Good, you'll have somebody to fuck." Bankotsu winked and Hiten punched him in the arm.
"Just go…we all need to wash our wounds." Abi sighed.
"Wanna come with?" Bankotsu offered and she glared.
XXX
"They left like four hours ago…" Yura whined.
"Then go get them." Abi sipped her water.
"Will you come with me?" She smiled and Abi rolled her eyes.
"Why?"
"I just don't think we should separate is all." She shrugged and Abi nodded in agreement.
XXX
"Sh." Yura pressed her index finger over her lips as she crouched behind a bush.
"Yura, we aren't here to spy on them." Abi rolled her eyes.
"Mm, they look good." She licked her lips.
"Focus." Abi glared.
"Listen." Yura giggled.
"Get the fuck away from me!" It was Hiten and he was shouting at Jakotsu.
"Please, you know you want it." The mercenary winked.
"Shut up…you're giving me a headache…" Bankotsu groaned.
"He looks so much better without that braid." Yura smiled.
"Who? Hiten or Bankotsu?" Abi cocked her eyebrow at her.
"Both…in your case, Hiten." She winked and Abi felt her face get hot. "Ok, come on." She approached them.
"Great." Jakotsu rolled his eyes.
"Your time is up, you've been here forever." Yura put her hands on her hips.
"We can stay as long as we like." Bankotsu smiled. "And you're free to come in at any time."
"Ok." Yura smiled and Abi grabbed her arm before she slipped off her dress and glared. "I mean…no, out." She pointed her arm.
"Or what? Are you going to be childish and cry about it?" Hiten scoffed as he rested his head on a rock behind him.
"Yura, just forget it." Abi rolled her eyes.
"No."
"Hey Bankotsu, need your clothes washed?" Abi smirked and crossed her arms. Bankotsu jumped out of the spring and slid his pants on.
"Haha, pussy." Hiten laughed.
"Hey, she didn't leave you stranded in the woods with no clothes." He defensively pointed his index finger at him and Hiten rolled his eyes.
"Abi likes Hiten too much to do that." Yura smiled.
"Try me." She glanced at her through the corner of her eye.
"Alright, I'm heading back." Bankotsu sighed. "My fun was just killed…actually, it was slaughtered, thanks Abi." He glared.
"Ok, now both of you get out." Yura commanded.
"Whatever." Hiten rolled his eyes. "Are you going to fucking gawk all day or are you going to let me get out?" He barked. They both turned around and heard the water slosh behind them as he got out. He glared and limped back.
"I'm going, please, spare me." Jakotsu said sarcastically as he got out.

"Dumb bitches…" Bankotsu mumbled.
"Stop, I'm all set; I am never going back there with you guys again." Hiten sighed.
"Please, I enjoyed every minute of it…" Jakotsu stared into space. Hiten shuddered and they entered the hut.

"Hey, look whose back." Bankotsu smirked at Abi.
"Shut it…I'm going to change, I can finally get Hiten's bloody shirt off me." She scrunched her nose at the scent.
"I want to re-braid your hair!" Yura exclaimed and Bankotsu rolled his eyes.
"That excites you?" Bankotsu cocked an eyebrow at her and she nodded. "Well your excitement turns me on." He winked and she blushed.
"Whatever." Abi rolled her eyes and walked inside. There was Hiten, his eyes were closed. "Hiten, come with me." She led him to the other room and he sighed.
"What?" He asked impatiently. She faced her back to him and pulled his shirt over his head. He felt his face get hot. "What are you doing?" She rolled her eyes and picked up the shirt Yura had gotten her. He let out a sigh of relief as she slipped it over her head.
"Uh…" She looked down.
"What?" He walked around her and his jaw went slack. It was very similar to her other one, but this one had a low-cut v neck that revealed most of her breast line.
"Stop staring at it!" She crossed her arms and glared.
"I didn't…wow…" He faced his back to her and she groaned.
"Here." She stuffed his shirt in his arms and walked back out.
"And then…wow." Bankotsu stopped talking and he smirked at Abi. Hiten sat beside her, glaring at the mercenary.
"My eyes are up here." She sent him a death glare.
"And I thought I had a boner before." He laughed and Yura pushed him. Hiten growled and threw his shirt back at her.
"Put it on." He ordered and she did so.
"Aw…" Bankotsu pouted. "Abi, that shirt looked beautiful."
"My ass…" Hiten mumbled. "Bankotsu, pour me a drink." Hiten sighed.
"Ah, tonight, everyone's getting drunk." Bankotsu smiled and passed around the cups.
"Not me." Abi got to her feet and walked into the other room.
XXX
It had been a few hours since the alcohol was handed out and now, Abi sat in the quiet room and listened to loud laughs, glasses shattering, and thuds. She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair again.
"Why are you sitting here alone?" She looked up and saw Hiten. He was smirking down at her and she rolled her eyes. He was drunk, too.
"Because it's better than listening to…" She gasped when she felt his lips against hers.
"Sh…"
"You're drunk." She pushed him off her and he just smiled.
"So?" He replied.
"Just…go away." She crossed her arms and looked to the ground.
"What's your problem?" He kissed her neck.
"The only time you're affectionate towards me is when your mind is overcome by alcohol or we're alone."
"We're alone right now." He whispered in her ear and sent a chill down her spine.
"Stop." She said and he ignored her. She lightly moaned and heard him scoff under his breath.
"I don't think you want me too…" He mumbled into her hair as he kissed her neck.
"Stop…"
"You…I can't…Abi…" He slurred and then fell to his side.
"Hiten?" She cocked her eyebrow. He was passed out. She smiled; he wouldn't remember anything in the morning anyway. She lay beside him and wrapped his limp arm around her waist. She laced her fingers with his and closed her eyes.
