Wilted Flowers

Chapter 1- Sin: the sorrow of all worlds

Itoma: Konban wa peeps (good evening) welcome to the start of my new story Wilted Flowers………yeah um please note that I do not own Inuyasha or Final Fantasy X….T-T I only wish I did

Kagome: yeah so who am I going be stuck with in this story.

Itoma: points to Bankotsu

Kagome: yay glomps Bankotsu

Bankotsu: grins

Itoma: ummmmmm…..yeah as of late I have become obsessed with ban/kag pairings.

Kagome yawned, stretching her back popping it in several places, as she gazed off onto the surface of the lake that sat in front of the camp that the inu-gumi had set up. The search for the jewel shards had been put off for several days with the new threat that presented it self as the Shichinintai, and the fact that Naraku had seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth. Kagome thought of the Shichinintai as a dangerous group of men she had ever met, Bankotsu had scared her the most though merely because with a single swipe of his halberd, Banryuu, its power could rival that of Tetsusaiga, also because Bankotsu could cause Kagome to blush with that simple sexy smirk of his. Damn him and his sexy smirk', Kagome thought, blushing profusely at the thought of Bankotsu's boyish smirk, oh my god look at me, here I am think about someone else's sexy smirk, when I claim to be in love with Inuyasha, this is so wrong', she thought, standing up to walk over to fire were Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and Kilala, were situated smiling at each of them then looking up at Inuyasha in deep thought who sat in his perch in the tallest tree.

"Kagome", said Sango, looking up at the miko from the future. "Would it be alright if I helped make supper to night?" the older girl questioned.

Kagome looked at her knowing that Sango wanted to make Miroku his own special meal separate from everyone else's and then Kagome smiled knowingly at her, "sure why not Sango", Kagome said, walking over to her bag to obtain her cooking utensils. Sango then smiled a wide smile at her surrogate sister's form as she jumped up from her place next to Shippou and Kilala to help Kagome cook the food for that night's supper.

Miroku then looked up at Inuyasha beckoning him down with a hard stare that screamed we-need-to-talk-about-the-enemy. When Inuyasha noticed the stare he came down from his perch on his tree, sitting across from Miroku gazing at the flames of the fire that had kept his friends warm during the night.

"What do you want Miroku", Inuyasha asked gruffly, crossing his arms switching his gaze to the monk on the other side of the fire.

"merely to talk about our current situation", Miroku said, returning Inuyasha's stare with his own.

"Yeah what about it", Inuyasha said, grunting with annoyance.

"well haven't you noticed lately that every time we go into battle with the Shichinintai, Bankotsu starts gazing at lady Kagome lust fully as if he has something planned for her something that could possibly hurt or kill her" Miroku said, becoming quite serious with Inuyasha.

"No, you're just imagining things. Besides who would gaze at Kagome lust fully, she's no were as near as beautiful as some of the women I've seen especially, Kikyo. I admit she's pretty good on the eyes just not as good a Kikyo" , Inuyasha said acting as if Kikyo is all that maters(a/n: barfs).

"Oh boy", Miroku said, staring at what stood behind Inuyasha threw(sp?) a half-lidded gaze.

"What!", Inuyasha said lowedly, looking behind him to see that Kagome was standing over him glaring at him while holding a pot of boiling water. "urmm hi Kagome", Inuyasha said weakly.

"Osuwari! So this is what you think of me after I promised to stay by your side, to help you and the others", Kagome said, pouring boiling water over Inuyasha's flattened form "you just start comparing me to Her, every other day, and you know what I'm sick of it", she said tears forming in her eyes, as she walked over to her sleeping bag and immersed her self into it. "be prepared Inuyasha, cause tomorrow I'm going home, away from you", She finished scowling.

"Your not going any where wench after what you just pulled you'll be lucky if I even allow you to go after we get the jewel shar---", Inuyasha yelled, shaking off the boiling water like a dog, only to cut short by Miroku.

"You know Inuyasha what happened to you was techniquly your own fault for comparing her to Kikyo, You know how she hates that……Inuyasha?" Miroku said, looking at the Hanyou who was sniffing madly .

"I smell them", Inuyasha growled, grabing Tetsusaiga's hilt.

"Who do you smell Inuyasha", Kagome asked appearing aggravated, sitting up and grabbing her bow and arrows when she noticed Inuyasha's stance.

"Shichinintai", He replied, befor the Band of Seven burst into the, brandishing their weapons.

Kagome gasped when she saw that the leader, Bankotsu, had a smirk on his face that caused her to go weak in the knees.

"all right Jakotsu, Suikotsu, Renkotsu, Genkotsu you all know what to do" Bankotsu said before racing towards Kagome.

"oh no you don't you little basterd", Inuyasha said, drawing tetsusaiga so he could cut down Bankotsu only to be stopped by Jakotsu's snake like sword wrapping around his body. "Damn you, you little basterd", Inuyasha said growling loudly

"Kagome!", Sango/Miroku yelled as they failed to get to Kagome before Bankotsu grabbed her and took of running to the far side of the lake. When they tried to go after them Renkotsu, Genkotsu, and Suikotsu appeared in front of them stopping they're advance.

"Sorry Inu-baby, but you aren't going any where cause in turn of letting my brother have his way I get to have you, not that I approve of his choice" Jakotsu said slyly, with his eyebrows furrowed.

"what do you mean by that" Sango Miroku and Inuyasha yelled..

with Bankotsu and Kagome

"Finally, I got you alone so we could talk", said Bankotsu setting Kagome down on a patch of grass next to the water, smirking at his accomplishment.

Kagome flinched away when he set her down on the grass, Afraid that he might hurt her yet slightly aroused at the same time. "w-what do you want from me" She asked, shiver as the cold ground touched the exposed skin of her legs, damn you short skirt' Kagome thought realizing that she was in a very sexual position and her skirt was not helping her situation. Kagome then froze when she saw Bankotsu smirk, damn him and his sexy smirk' she thought again.

" Why my little Kagome….I want you" He stated simply, taking a step towards her.

"me w-why" She said in a scared tone

Bankotsu flinched slightly when her heard her tone, in truth he couldn't stand the thought of her being afraid of him. So he quickly raced forward and took her into his loving embrace, "cause that Hanyou doesn't deserve you, he'll never give the respect you deserve, that and sence the first time I saw you, I couldn't stop thinking of you, and how I wanted to kill the hanyou every time he hurt you verbally and emotionally, yeah it's true I saw every bit of it, every word he said, and every tear you shed.", He said holding her tighter, "I wanted to hold you and protect you from every thing that would try to harm you."

"Bankotsu", Kagome said returning the hug slightly as the shock ran threw her mind, when all of a sudden the ground began to shake and the water in the lake began to rise into the air, forming around what looked like a giant mutated whale.

Bankotsu, when seeing the large creature placed Kagome behind him to protect her from the gigantic beast, when the creature turned its attention to them Kagome placed a death grip on the back of Bankotsu's Hoari, only to have her fear increase ten fold when nearby trees and boulders began to float to wards the creature threw the sky, what scared her the most though was when she and Bankotsu where beginning to be pulled towards the demon.

from the other side of the lake

"Kagome!", Inuyasha yelled watching as his best friends was being pulled toward the floating demon in the sky.

Meanwhile the remaining Shichinintai looked on with fear for they're young leaders safety.

back to Bankotsu and Kag

"Damn, this isn't good. If I could get to my banryu I could fight this thing off, but with where Kagome is positioned on my back I can't get to it", Bankotsu said as they became nearer to the creature by the second.

Looking back at Kagome over his shoulder he saw the fear in her eyes, while some how managing to spin around he embraced Kagome in comforting hug, "I'm truly sorry Kagome", he said the moment they were sucked into the monster, his last words echoing threw the air.

" I know………..Bankotsu", Kagome said as they were engulfed in a bright light to there possible end.
