Chapter 3

Found You…

Bankotsu stuck the key into the lock and opened the wooden door. They walked into the apartment.

It wasn't actually what you called great. The curtains were chewed at the bottom, probably by moths. The floor was a really ugly color of carpet with many stains all over it. A weird, musky smell was floating through the room. There was only one couch in the living room and a old fashioned, mostly likely, black and white TV.

Bankotsu chuckled. "It's like living a mansion." He said sarcastically and Sango smiled slightly. Bankotsu's smile turned into a frown, it wasn't exactly the best time to be joking around.

Sango placed her bag on the couch. They had gone back to her house to grab some things.

Bankotsu sat down on the couch and Sango sat beside him. They sat in silence. But the silence wasn't all that inviting, Sango needed someone there, she needed someone to comfort her.

All of a sudden Sango began to cry. Bankotsu looked at the ground, he didn't know what to say.

Loosing a loved was the hardest to ever get over. Bankotsu knew that much.

When he was 13 years old his parents were murdered right in front of his face...

FLASHBACK

Terror and confusion structured Bankotsu's young face as he hid in his parent's closet. The door was opened a creak, but Bankotsu could see clearly at the actions outside of his safe haven.

First, his mother was shot to the ground and followed by his father. Blood leaked from their bodies and reddened the carpet around them. Both their eyes were still wide open and Bankotsu swore he saw one last tear stream down his mother's cheek.

Bankotsu saw the black outline of a man, in which his entire body was covered with black clothing and a black ski mask concealed the murderer's face.

"Serves you right, bitches." The man shouted loudly, unaware of Bankotsu's presence behind the closet door.

Sirens blared outside and the killer took off with great haste.

END OF FLASHBACK

After the tragic accident, Bankotsu was then moved to a foster family, but he never forgot that day. The horror that was etched on his parent's faces was unforgettable.

Sango sniffed and rubbed away her tears with the sleeve of her sweater.

"I'm sorry I'm like this it's just-" She started, but Bankotsu cut her off.

"Yeah, I know how you feel. And it's OK to cry." Bankotsu explained kindly. Sango nodded.

A couple days later Bankotsu's cell phone rang.

"Yeah, Bankotsu here." He said and Kikyo, another C.S.I. officer, answered.

"Bankotsu, we've got a lead on the killer." She answered, with concern in her voice. "We found his house, but when we searched it he wasn't there. So, he couldn't be anywhere. I want you to keep on your guard." She explained.

"Yeah, I know." Bankotsu replied with slight annoyance in his voice.

He heard Kikyo sigh. "Don't tell the girl, she doesn't need to get anymore freaked out."

"What do you mean don't tell her!" Bankotsu practically shouted. "I think she has the right to know that we've found a lead!" Kikyo sighed again.

"I know, newbie." She snapped. "It's just he might be going after her so, I don't want her to get freaked out."

"Whatever." Bankotsu muttered and he hung up. Bankotsu scowled. He couldn't just lie to her, it wasn't right, but if he disobeyed his orders he could be fired.

Sango walked into the living room with a cup of coffee in her hands.

"Who was that?" She asked and Bankotsu flinched with surprise.

"Uh, it was just another one of my bosses." He explained quickly.

"What did they say?" She asked, with hope in her voice and Bankotsu sighed inwardly.

"They said that they haven't found any leads yet." He lied, but what could he do?

"Oh," Sango whispered. Bankotsu nodded. Sango walked over to the couch and sat down. Bankotsu looked around the room and saw that everything was shut and locked.

"Bankotsu?" He looked back at Sango as she stood up.

"Yeah?" Sango didn't give an answer, instead she ran up to him and wrapped her arms around him and cried.

"I miss her so much." She sobbed and Bankotsu was slightly shocked. He pulled Sango, gently, away from him and wiped away a tear with his finger, that had dripped down her cheek.

"I know." Bankotsu answered, quietly. Sango looked at him and she titled her head slightly and kissed him. Bankotsu's eyes widened. He was supposed to be protecting this girl, not kissing her! But Bankotsu felt so happy, so alive when her lips touched his and he answered the kiss.

Sango was the first to pull away and Bankotsu was still shocked.

"Wow." Was all he could say and Sango giggled slightly. She looked back at him and he looked at her. Love sparkled in both their eyes. Bankotsu had only known her for a few days, but he still felt something for Sango.

They continued to stare into each others eyes until they heard a loud bang on the door and a voice said,

"Found you."
