So all of you were wondering who the guy was huh. Alright the wait is over I'll let you know now.

It was obvious to Kikyou to that Inuyasha was jealous. But the truth was he really didn't have any reason to be. But since he was so damn stubborn it would take her awhile to explain to him.

"Who the hell are you?" Inuyasha asked.

The man smirked and looked from Kikyou to Inuyasha. He didn't feel like he owed the stranger any explanations. But he couldn't just very well stand there and say nothing. So he decided to just say his name and get over with.

"My name is Bankotsu, whats it to you?"

Inuyasha paused slightly and wondered about the name. For some reason it sounded really familiar, but then again he could be wrong.

"Kikyou who the hell is this guy?" Bankotsu asked.

"Well he's... well." she started.

But what could she possibly say. He wasn't her boyfriend, but she liked him. He wasn't a stranger but she hardly knew him. Before she could answer Bankotsu's question one of the scientist interrupted them.

"Shouldn't you all be working?"

"Yes, we are working see." Sango said grabbing a file out of the cabinet.

The scientist nodded and then left them there. But the whole time Inuyasha and Bankotsu never took their eyes off each other. Inuyasha could tell that he wouldn't like this guy at all. And the same was true for Bankotsu.

"Kikyou remember we have to do that thing, at that place." Sango said.

Kikyou looked at her friend in question. But then it became clear that Sango wanted them to make a clear get away. That is before something really serious happened.

"Oh that thing at that place." Kikyou said.

Kikyou and Sango then left the guys standing there. They decided to just hang out in one of the labs until things calmed down. Inuyasha was now sitting on one of the desks. While Bankotsu was leaned up against another.

"Wanna explain why you were hugging Kikyou?" Inuyasha asked.

"I don't owe you any explanations." he answered.

Miroku stood there looking from Inuyasha to Bankotsu. He could tell that something was going to happen. Both of them seemed to have temper problems, Inuyasha more than Bankotsu of course. So Miroku decided to just sit down and observe the situation. He couldn't believe Sango and Kikyou left him down there.

"I'll kill those two when I see them." Miroku thought.

Meanwhile upstairs Kikyou and Sango were in a deserted laboratory. They would only come here when they wanted to avoid work. Sometimes Miroku would join them, but he had his own way of relaxing. And they just rather not be apart of what he liked to do.

"Kikyou what are you going to do? You can't really stay up here forever."

"I know. I wonder whats going on down there."

Sango too was wondering what was happening. If she didn't know any better she would say Inuyasha was already acting like her boyfriend. And Bankotsu well it was no secret to anyone that he had a thing for her.

But as to how Kikyou felt about him, no one knew. She wasn't one to really discuss her feelings with anyone. Well except for Sango and Miroku of course. They didn't know it but things were already tense between Inuyasha and Bankotsu.

"Stay away from Kikyou." Inuyasha said.

"And if I don't?" Bankotsu asked.

Inuyasha jumped up quickly and started choking Bankotsu. He stared at Inuyasha surprised at how fast he was. He was certainly different from most guys their age.

"You really want to find out?" Inuyasha asked.

Kikyou and Sango who had heard the noise went to see what was going on. They stood from the top of the stairs and watched what was happening.

"Inuyasha let him go." she said.

He glanced at her but made no movements to let him go. Bankotsu glanced at Kikyou too and wondered if she was concerned for him. Kikyou walked closer to them, not taking her eyes Inuyasha.

"I wont say it again let him go."

Inuyasha sighed to himself and then dropped Bankotsu to the floor. But Kikyou didn't say anything to him, instead she asked Inuyasha to come with her. Everyone watched as the two went into one of the other laboratories.

Miroku helped Bankotsu up. He sat down in one of the chairs, he had a lot of questions. Questions that needed some serious answers.

"Hey don't tell me that guy is Kikyou's boyfriend?" he said.

Kikyou wasn't at all surprised at Inuyasha's actions. But she decided that she should talk to him about it anyway. They needed to clear the air about this whole Bankotsu thing. He was only her friend, but she was fully aware of his feelings for her.

"Inuyasha I need to you to try and control your anger." she said.

"Did you see that guy he was all over you?"

Alright so Bankotsu hugged her. She didn't see why he had to get that upset. And then wondered what he would do if he ever saw Miroku hug her. He would have probably tried to kill Miroku, she didn't even want to think about that.

"He's my friend. I hug my friends all the time." she told him.

But Inuyasha sat with his arms folded. He obviously was still upset by what happened, how could she make him realize that nothing was happening. And he didn't have anything to worry about when it came to Bankotsu.

"Kikyou...I." Inuyasha started.

But to his surprise she wrapped her arms around his waist. And then kissed him, he stood there shocked. But soon found himself giving in and returning her kiss. Moments later she pulled away from him.

"You don't have to worry about me and Bankotsu, theres nothing there." she said.

For some reason the kiss was all he needed to be reassured. And if Kikyou said there was nothing to worry about. Then he would just have to believe her. But that didn't mean he had to trust Bankotsu, in fact he would keep his guard up.

"I have to get back to work. Promise me you will try not to get into any trouble." she said.

"Feh! Sure."

When Kikyou and Inuyasha came out of the room, it seemed like everyone was watching the. All of them obviously wanting to know what happened. Bankotsu especially he had plenty of things to ask Kikyou.

As she sat there writing up a report for one of the scientist. He came over and pulled a chair up to her desk. At first she pretended that she didn't notice him. And they didn't realize it but Inuyasha was standing behind the wall listening in.

"Hello Kikyou." he said.

"Oh, hello Bankotsu can I help you with something?" she asked.

He stared at her and she glanced at him. They were friends in high school and he had asked her out before. But she never once told him yes, and wasn't about to start now. It wasn't that she didn't find him attractive. Because she thought he was, but she didn't really feel anything else for him.

"Actually yes you can." he told her.

She seriously hoped he wasn't about to ask her on another date. She didn't feel up to that right now, she had more important things to do.

"What is it?" she asked.

"You, me. This Friday night, you know a date."

She sat there frozen almost not knowing what to say. Inuyasha stood there ears twitching nervously and then sunk to the floor.

"A date, what in the seven hells is that?" he asked.

What will Kikyou tell him? Will Inuyasha find out what a date is? R&R plz.
