Chapter 4 Love?

A/N Ok what did you think about the last chapter? Hope you like it. Pls R&R thanks… I dun own any one from Inuyasha…

"Nothing really, we just came here for a drink…" Jakotsu said.

"Whatever…" Ayame replied and took up her armor to put it on.

Bankotsu then knelt down and placed his sword down. He cupped his hands together and bought them into the water. Fresh water flowed into his hands. It felt warm as the sunrays shot through its surface. Ayame puts on her armor as she watches Bankotsu drink. One of Ayame's wolves growled as it sensed movement in the woods.

"A deer…" Ayame thought as she sniffed the air.

She asked her wolves to go get it as she was still injured and could not go far. The wolves dashed off into the forest towards the deer. Ayame then walked away from the waterfall to gather firewood.

"O-annekin where are we going to set camp?" asked Jakotsu.

"Right here, the water's cool and there are many fishes and wild animals here. They can help us by hiding our smell." Bankotsu said as he took up his sword and slashed the nearest tree.

Wood from the tree became the firewood. Bankotsu laid his sword against a tree as he sat down on at the edge of the water. Ayame's wolves then came back with a dead deer pulled by a few other wolves.

"O-annekin Bankotsu look." Jakotsu said sitting up from under a tree.

Bankotsu looked up and saw the wolves sniffing around.

"Yuki! Yugi! Over here!" shouted Ayame as she stood by the fire she made just a while ago…

The wolves ran over with the deer's body behind them. Ayame then used her dagger to cut the deer up.

"Jakotsu can you catch some fish?" asked Bankotsu.

"Hai…" Jakotsu relied.

Ayame divided the deer meat in to two. She gave half of the first half to the wolves and the other half she cooked it for herself. When she and the wolves ate finish, it was in the evening already. She looked at Jakotsu still trying to catch some fish.

"Takai, bring this to them." Ayame said to another white wolf.

Ayame then tried the small little package wrapped with nice smelling leaves to the wolf's neck. Takai then ran up to Bankotsu.

"Huh? What's this?" Bankotsu asked the wolf.

Jakotsu stopped fishing and walked back to Bankotsu. Takai then turned to return to his master. Bankotsu open up the little package, to find half of the deer from just now. He looks back at the wolf that was with his master already. He looks from the wolf to the demon girl who was patting it. She was the one who gave them this. Bankotsu smiled then the used his sword and sliced the meat into two. He gave one of the pieces to Jakotsu and then he took a piece of wood and hung the piece of meat there. He then went over to the fire to cook it. Jakotsu followed his brother and waited for the meat to be cooked.

"Jakotsu we'll leave tomorrow…" Bankotsu said as he ate the meat.

"H-ai" Jakotsu replied, as his mouth was full of meat.

Ayame lay down on the ground looking up into the sky filled with stars. She remembered how Kouga saved her and how he had promised her. The wind blew harder now… her hair blew around in the wind as she sat up. She looked at the other campfire… Dark, the fire had died out at Bankotsu's side. Everything was in darkness, she could not see anything but she could make out the shape of two people and the shape of trees all around.

"Grr!" a low growl was sounded.

This made Bankotsu, Jakotsu, Ayame and the wolves get up. Ayame quickly alight the fire again and took a look around. From her side she could see Bankotsu lighting his fire too. The wolves got up and sniffed around to find what made the noise. Ayame sensed there was something moving, something big… Bankotsu picked up his sword and moved around the fire… Jakotsu's eyes scanned around looking for the thing that made the noise.

"Grr!" came another growl.

"Taichi! Akagi! Watch out!" shouted Ayame as two long tentacles came out of the darkness and slashed towards the two wolves.

The wolves were thrown off their feet and their limp bodies lay on the ground. Ayame ran towards them.

"Taichi! Akagi!" shouted Ayame, as she looks at her two family lie weakly on the ground with blood all over them.

But before Ayame could do anything, one of the demon's tentacles slashes her at her side. Flesh blood spattered on to the bark of the nearby trees. But before she fell into a deep sleep, she saw a bright blue light flash before her eyes… then darkness took its toll… Bankotsu had slashed the demon's tentacles into a million pieces thus causing the blue flash.

The demon howled inn pain as it swung out another two tentacles to try and hit Bankotsu but he was to fast for it. Jakotsu then used his sword to slice off the two tentacles causing the demon to come out of its hiding place out of rage and to attack the both of them. It was an one-eyed octopus-like demon with at least eight tentacles still swinging around trying to hit Bankotsu and Jakotsu. It also had a beak under its eye, which was filled with two rows of sharp teeth. Bankotsu smirked.

"Weakling." Jakotsu said yawning and trying to go back to sleep.

"Jakotsu… we been sleeping for ten years a ready and you still want to sleep some more?" asked Bankotsu.

"Yeah. Good night O-annekin Bankotsu…" said Jakotsu before he fell in to a deep slumber.

"Grr! I want the Shinkon no tama!" yelled the demon angrily.

Its tentacles then reached out towards Jakotsu for his jewel but then Bankotsu sliced it clean off. The demon screamed again. Then it reached out towards the last demon body behind him and ate it up. Then the places where its tentacles were sliced off regenerated back and the size of the demon grew. It grew taller. It was now sixteen times the height of Bankotsu. But just like just now, Bankotsu sliced them off again. The demon panic it had no more demon bodies to eat… but that when he spotted Ayame and her wolves. Its tentacles reached out and got hold of Ayame who was still unconscious to eat her and try to defeat Bankotsu. Jakotsu opened up one eye to see what was going on.

"Let go of her!" shouted Bankotsu as he slices off that tentacle.

"Aww, even an undead zombie has feelings." said the demon.

A/N Ok so how was this? Does Bankotsu have feelings for Ayame or is it something else? Find out in the next chapter… Bye.
