He was standing now and had been staring down at her for about ten minutes, but it felt like hours.
"Hiten…" She whispered and reached her hand out. He jumped and stepped back.
"Do not touch me." He spat and she looked down in shame.
"Please…don't say anything…at least until I know…" She whispered and he frowned. He felt his temper boil at the same time. He turned around and slammed his fist straight through the wall.
"Please…"
"Don't fucking talk to me!" He shouted and tried to calm down again. He glared at her and left the room.
XXX
"There he is!" Bankotsu smiled as he still sat at the table with the others. "Hiten, come here, I have a question!" Hiten rolled his eyes and made his way to the group. "Alright, are you gay?"
"What?!" Hiten twisted his face in disgust.
"You wear earrings…that's kinda a chick deal." He shrugged.
"No…and look who's talking Mr. Purple."
"Do not dis purple!" Bankotsu jumped out of his seat.
"You ok?" Kagura glanced at him.
"Fine." He growled and kept his gaze locked on Bankotsu.
"What was that bang we heard?" Yura asked.
"Did you do it again? Damn, you guys…" Bankotsu was cut off when a fast made contact with his nose. His back swung into the opposite wall.
"Bankotsu!" Yura kneeled beside him and they all stared at Hiten.
"Fucking bastard." He mumbled and walked out.
"Oh shit…" Bankotsu wiped the blood away and Koga sighed.
"I'm so leaving this nuthouse." He said under his breath.
"Hey Kikyo, are you moving with us?" Bankotsu asked as he splashed water on his face.
"I'm not sure…Naraku hasn't come after you…" She frowned.
"You should stay; we all know he wants you dead, too." Kagura reasoned.
"What about Hiten?" Souten asked.
"What about him?" Bankotsu asked.
"He just punched you in the fucking face." Jakotsu rolled his eyes.
"So…it's not like that's never happened before." He shrugged.
"Well…what'd you do?" Koga asked.
"I….have no idea…hm…maybe he's still mad at me for the kitchen…or that I tried to make him call me master…or it could have something to do with Abi…" He scratched his chin. "Oh well."
"You should go talk to him." Yura suggested.
"Why? So he can punch a hole through my face? I think not. Trust me, just let him cool down."
"Want me to punish him for you, Banks?" Jakotsu asked with a smirk.
"Ew." Koga shuddered.
"You're next, wolf." He winked and Koga gulped.
"Get your shit together, we're leaving." Hiten walked back in.
"What the fuck is your problem?" Kagura asked.
"I don't have a problem, now lets go!" He yelled and everyone left.
"Hiten?" Souten whispered.
"What?" He snapped.
"Will you be ok?" She asked and he frowned.
"I'll be fine." He assured her and she nodded. She walked to him and went to hug him. He bent over and returned it. He kissed her forehead as he pulled away. "Don't worry about me." She nodded.
XXX
"We're like…a fucking traveling village." Bankotsu scoffed as they all left, except Souten. "We have…nine people!" He smiled.
"Good job, you can count." Jakotsu patted his head.
"Where are we going?" Renkotsu asked.
"Where ever there's shelter."
"Oh, can we massacre a village?" Jakotsu smiled.
"There's a village with an in not far from here." Hiten sighed as he flew on his wheels.
"Why didn't you massacre it?" Bankotsu asked skeptically.
"Free sake and easy women." He shrugged and Bankotsu's eyes lit up. Yura nudged him.
"It's like…freaking wonderland!" He smiled.
"You're an idiot." Kagura mumbled.
"Why? I mean…if you had a dick, you would understand…I think we men are outnumbered."
"There are five of you." Kikyo sighed.
"No….see, Jakotsu is that somewhere in between…"
"Hey!" Jakotsu put his hands on his hips.
"Koga bitches so much I'm starting to think he is a bitch…"
"What?!"
"And Hiten….don't even get me started…so, there are only two men." He said smugly.
"Jackass." Koga mumbled.
"Hey, apparently, I'm the only one with enough balls to say something." He shrugged casually.
XXX
"Ok, where's the sake at?" Bankotsu rubbed his hands together as they reached the busy village.
"I've been dead for two years, don't ask me." Hiten sighed.
"Hey there…" He smirked at a girl and yelped in pain as Yura grabbed his braid and dragged him. "Ow, ow, ow!" He groaned. Everyone rolled their eyes.
XXX
"One room?" Kagura groaned.
"We have no money." Renkotsu frowned.
"One room?" She repeated.
"Oh come on, we could use the closeness!" Bankotsu smiled, seeming to be the only positive one in the room.
"I knew we should've stayed at Hiten's…" Jakotsu pouted.
"We've been in one room before." He rolled his eyes.
"There were five of us then!" Jakotsu argued.
"Fuck off." Hiten groaned.
"What's wrong?" Bankotsu poked Abi's shoulder as she sat down and crossed her arms. She stared at the floor. "Come on…" He continued to poke her.
"Stop touching her!" Hiten snapped and the room got silent.
"Damn…" Koga mumbled.
"Is that what this is about?" Bankotsu rolled his eyes.
"Don't start…" Abi mumbled but he ignored it.
"Come on now, that was so long ago now." He smirked.
"Whatever." He left.
"Well, this should be fun." Kagura spoke with a bored tone.
"Ok, I'm going for sake, whose coming?" Bankotysu asked excitedly. "Oh come on, are we all really that pissed off?"
"Obviously…" Jakotsu frowned. "I wanna see Inuyasha…"
"Abi?" He nudged her.
"What?" She asked in a dark voice and glared up at him. He felt himself drink back.
"Wanna go find sake with me?" He whispered nervously.
"Fine." She stood up and they all stared confused. Yura glared at him as he slowly followed Abi.
XXX
"This is like when we first met you…you know when Hiten hated you and you went to help me find sake!" He said happily as she walked beside him.
"Yeah."
"So…what's been keeping you all down and depressed?" He asked as he glanced at the shops beside him.
"Nothing…"
"Hiten seems pretty pissed, what'd he do?" He asked, completely missing the fact that she simply didn't want to answer the question.
"I don't want to talk about it." She grunted.
"Hey, you think they have whorehouses here?" He asked dumbly and she rolled her eyes.
"You think with the wrong head."
"Hey, you know how long it's been since I've been laid?" He defended and she just sighed. "You women think you know everything." He rolled his eyes.
"Bankotsu?"
"Yo." He smiled at her and she looked down.
"Never mind."
XXX
"Fucking owned!" Koga smiled as he threw the small pieces of food into Jakotsu's mouth as he sat across the room.
"Hey, Jakotsu, you're pretty good at catching things in your mouth." Bankotsu commented before sitting down.
"Shove it." He glared.
"Hey, Grumpy's back!" Bankotsu smiled at Hiten.
"Fuck you." He replied without opening his eyes.
"Ouch." Kagura mumbled.
"What the hell did I do?" Bankotsu asked.
"That punishment is still wide open." Jakotsu smirked.
"Sicko." Kagura glared.
"Bitch."
"Asshole."
"Whore."
"Stop it!" Abi yelled and they all stopped.
"Weren't saying that when…" Hiten was cut off.
"Fuck you." She glared.
"You already did." He retorted.
"Can we get another room?"
"Uh…we could have me and the girls in one room and everyone else in here." Bankotsu suggested.
"I'll leave."
"Aw, come on now." Bankotsu frowned as Hiten walked out.
"He has issues." Jakotsu smirked. "I like that."
"Where do you think he'll go?" Yura whispered.
"If we're lucky, he won't come back." Abi glared at the door.
XXX
Jakotsu sat, happily ready to taunt whoever woke up first. Kagura was leaning against Koga and Abi's head rested on Bankotsu's lap. Yura was on his free shoulder and Kikyo slept against Renkotsu. The sun had gone up not too long ago.
Kagura would definitely be the most amusing.
He heard Bankotsu stir and looked up.
"Gah!" Koga jumped to his feet and Kagura fell on her side.
"Ow, what the fuck you stupid wolf?" She yelled.
"You're the one that fell asleep on me!" He pointed an accusing finger at her.
"You're the one that made my head hit the floor!" She shouted. They both stopped when they realized everyone was staring at them. Their faces got red and they sat back down.
Hiten lazily walked in and plopped down between Kagura and Kikyo.
"Where were you?" Abi whispered and he shot her a death glare.
"What, did you eat a bitch?" Jakotsu scoffed.
"No." He answered coldly.
"Were you with a woman?" Abi asked and he ignored her. "Please talk to me…" Her voice cracked.
"Something so happened." Jakotsu smiled.
"Ya think." Koga rolled his eyes.
"I have nothing to say to you." He crossed his arms.
"Hiten…" Yura frowned.
"Come on, now, no fighting already…" Bankotsu yawned.
"Nobody was talking to you." Hiten barked.
"Hey now, I haven't done anything lately, I actually view myself as the only positive one here!" Bankotsu defended.
"Nobody was talking to you.' He repeated in a calm tone.
"Can you please just…?" Abi started.
"I already told you not to fucking talk to me!" He shouted.
"I need to talk to someone you bastard! If you cared as much as you say you do, you wouldn't act like this!"
"Then how do you expect me to act? Happy? Want me to get you and him a gift and a congratulations?" He mocked and tears welled up in her eyes again.
"What the fuck happened?" Jakotsu demanded.
"She's fucking pregnant that's what!" Hiten pointed to her and everyone's eyes got wide. Jakotsu held back his laughter.
"So what's so bad about that? Hiten's gunna be a daddy." Bankotsu smiled.
"No, you idiot, if she's pregnant, you're the father!" Hiten snarled and Bankotsu began to breathe heavily.
"I never touched her!" He yelled and Jakotsu laughed out loud. Yura's face got pale.
"I told you not to say anything!" She shouted.
"I told you not to fuck him!" He yelled. She left the room and it was silent.
"I think I'm gunna throw up…" Bankotsu frowned and held his stomach. "Is it a joke? Please tell me…I won't even be mad I…" He held his heart.
"Banks?" Jakotsu shook his shoulder. His eyes rolled behind his head.
"I…need to go somewhere." Yura stood up and left.
XXX
Bankotsu opened his eyes a few hours later.
"Where is everyone?" He held his head.
"The girls got a different room…" Koga sighed.
"Is…" He glanced in the corner and saw Hiten. "I am so sorry…" He whispered.
"Don't apologize to me." He spat.
"But you're…"
"Done with her." He growled. Bankotsu frowned.
"Is Yura…?"
"Mega-pissed, oh hell yeah." Jakotsu sighed.
XXX
He slowly walked into the room and frowned. Yura looked to the ground, Kikyo looked up to him, Kagura rolled her eyes, and Abi didn't look up at all.
"Can I…talk to you?" He whispered.
"Talk." She spat.
"I just…I didn't mean it…"
"Obviously." She rolled her eyes.
"And…I can help…if you want and…" He scratched the back of his neck. She stood up and followed him out of the room. "Sorry for how I...reacted before..."
"What? You mean about you denying having sex with me?" Her brows knotted together.
"Well…yeah…wanna hug?" He offered with a small smile. She half-heartedly returned it and walked into his embrace. "Hiten will come around." He whispered as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders.
"You keep saying that…he can't even look at me…"
"Sure he can." He frowned. She buried her face in his shoulder.
"Bankotsu…he won't…"
"Its ok…" His frown deepened. "Hey, we know this kid is gunna be fucking gorgeous, though." He smiled and she lightly laughed.
XXX
Bankotsu walked back in his room with tears in his eyes. He removed his armor and threw it to the ground, everyone stared in confusion.
"Hit me." He whispered and stared at Hiten.
"What?"
"You know you want to…come on, let it all out!" He yelled. Jakotsu jumped to his feet and stood in the corner.
"What are you…?" Koga started.
"Trust me, whatever's about to go down, you do not wanna be in it." He smirked and Koga nodded and joined him in the corner. Hiten stood across from him and clenched his fist.
Bankotsu bit his bottom lip out of anticipation and the thunder demon lunged at him. He brought his fist to the mercenary's stomach and Bankotsu grunted and held his shoulders as he hit over and over. He coughed up blood and Hiten pushed him into the wall.
"Come on…" Bankotsu taunted in a raspy voice. Hiten grabbed his collar and pulled him to his feet. He hit his left eye and jaw and Bankotsu didn't struggle in the least. He grabbed Bankotsu's neck and frowned as he looked in the sympathetic, navy blue eyes. He dropped him. Bankotsu landed on his side and Hiten roughly kicked his stomach.
"You can…hit harder than that…" Bankotsu mocked. Hiten grabbed his braid and slammed his entire head into the wall. Bankotsu fell to the ground and panted. "See…" He smiled. He sat up and threw up.
"Ick." Koga twisted his face in disgust.
"Please…don't be mad at her…" He whispered ad Hiten glared.
"We should let her speak with them." Renkotsu got to his feet.
"No way…I wanna see what happens!" Jakotsu crossed his arms.
"Nah, the fighting is over." Koga shrugged. Jakotsu stomped his foot and followed. A few seconds later, Abi walked in.
"What did you do?" She glared at Hiten.
"Its ok…"
"Hiten…" She frowned. He wrapped his arms around her and she buried her face in his shoulder.
"I'm sorry…" He whispered.
"It's ok…" She mumbled.
"But…I…I don't think I can…" She looked up to him with hurt in her eyes. He pecked her forehead.
"Hey now…I just let you beat the shit outta me, you will stay with her!" Bankotsu limped to them. "You can raise it…" He frowned. "You can even name it…"
"But I can't pretend its not there and it didn't happen…" He frowned. "Every time I look at it…"
"You'll think of me." Bankotsu winked.
"Exactly! We can even name it after me!" Hiten hit him in the stomach.
"Bad joke, bad joke…" He mumbled in a dry voice.
"Please don't..."
"I don't know anymore…" He sighed.
"You just did it…by now, you should know." Bankotsu smiled before coughing up more blood. Abi glared and walkd out. "Hiten…you better be there for her."
"Please, I don't want you lecturing me." He rolled his eyes.
"No, you fucking idiot…she shouldn't need to deal with that alone and if you aren't there for her, I can and will replace you." He glared and Hiten grunted.
