Kagome was frantically running back to the shichinintai hide out, with Bankotsu being pulled by his shirt. When they entered the cave everyone stared at them... well mainly Kagome becuase she looked pissed off. Jakoutsu didn't even bother to call her wench when she came back to the cave...
Bankotsu tried talking to her but she didn't listen. Kagome was too busy thinking about what she did to InuYasha... She would keep looking at her hand that slapped InuYasha's cheek and became angry all over again.
Kagome sat on Bankotsu's bed and let herself fall onto it. She closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep... When she did fall into a deep sleep it was about what happened today. She felt bad for doing that to him...
Bankotsu sat down and stroked Kagome's back... He felt her start to loosen up and become less tense. He kissed Kagome on the head and left the bed. He walked over to where Jakoutsu was and placed his back against the cold stone walls.
"Why do you even bother putting up with that wench?" Asked Jakoutsu crossing his arms over his chest.
"Because she means everything to me..." Answered Bankotsu while looking over at Kagome.
"And...?" Jaoutsu said in an annoyed tone.
"Because I love her..." The mercenery said without hesitation.
Jakoutsu stared at the leader of the shinchinintai and shrugged his shoulders. He walked away leaving only Bankoutsu and a sleeping Kagome in the room. Her chest raised and lowered as Kagome breathed in and out. Bankotsu lay beside her and tried to fall asleep, like Kagome had done.

InuYasha walked back to Kaede's hut, his hand was covering his now crimson red cheek. When you walked inside Miroku pointed at the red mark on InuYasha's face. Sango looked at him and he decided to tell them who he just happened to run into...
"I saw Kagome!" InuYasha blurted out.
"NANI?" Both comrades said at the same time.
"She was sitting under a cherry blossom tree and she didn't smell dead..." Explained the youkai.
"So whats that red mark?" Asked Miroku.
"She slapped me... after Bankotsu came along and they left together." Said InuYasha while sitting down.
"You Bankotsu as in leader of the shinchinintai!" Screamed Sango now starting to rise.
"Yea... thats the one..." Sighed InuYasha.
"But this doesn't make any sense?" Started Sango.
"We saw Kagome being killed infront of our eyes! theres no way she could have survived?"
"Maybe we should pay them a little visit...?" Smirked InuYasha, grabbing his sword and stepping outside.
Miroku and Sango followed behind them and they ran in the direction of the Shichinintai hideout. InuYasha wasn't willing to give Kagome up... especially to Bankotsu!
Sooner than they thought all 3 friends were standing in the entrance way of the cave. Miroku and Sango went around the cave and waited for InuYasha to give the signal, incase he needed back up or something...
\
Kagome woke up and nugged Bankotsu in the rib cage. She got out of bed and headed towards the cave exit. Bankotsu took hold of her wrist and
hugged her.
"Where are you going?" Asked Bankotsu.
"Just to get a drink of fresh water by the river..." Replied Kagome while hugging him back.
He let her go and she walked out of the cave, she didn't see InuYasha until she literally bumped into him and landed on her ass with a thud! She looked up ready to yell at the person she bumped into! She looked into amber orbs and she started to back away on the ground... InuYasha followed her and lifted her up, his hands were placed on Kagome's shoulders.
"If you came here to take me away... Your sadly mistaken..." Said Kagome pushing InuYasha away from her.
"Kagome you have to come... you belong with us... with me..." Said the youkai.
"I don't belong with you InuYasha!" Shouted Kagome.
"I was just a rebound girl, when Kikyo was wandering the earth!"
"Thats not true!" InuYasha said.
"Yes it is! All you could think about was Kikyo! For one thing I'm glad that wench is in hell where she belongs!" She screamed.
InuYasha was stunned that Kagome had just said that about Kikyo... He raised his hand and slapped Kagome across the face! Leaving a huge
red mark that was visable across her left cheek. A small amount of blood ran down from Kagome's mouth.
The slap made her fall backwards and hit the ground... Kagome touched her crimson red cheek and stood, tears were pooling from her chocolate
eyes and she drew the attention of Miroku, Sango and Bankotsu!
He ran outside when he heard crying, there standing infront of InuYasha was Kagome. Clutching her sore cheek and sobbing.
Bankotsu ran beside her and noticed that there was some blood coming from her mouth... He could tell by the size and shade of red on her cheek that
he slapped her pretty hard.
Sango and Miroku showed up and saw Kagome crying while InuYasha watched. They looked at the youkai and then at the miko...
"What the hell did you do InuYasha!" Yelled Miroku clenching his fists.
"I don't know?" Lied InuYasha.
"Don't you dare lie... you mutt! You hit her!" Shouted Bankotsu.
Sango stared at InuYasha and then began to yell...
"Look what you did to Kagome... InuYasha!"
"She is a wreck!" Screamed Miroku.
"No wonder why she left you!" Screamed Bankotsu, holding Kagome close to him.
They both stood up and walked towards the cave... Before they went inside Kagome said something unexpected...
"Go meet Kikyo in hell... you half demon!"
InuYasha was shocked that she had just called him half demon and not by his name... And told him to go to hell!
He was confused and ran back to the village, Miroku and Sango were walking slowly towards Kaede's hut. I didn't mean to hurt Kagome... or did he...?
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Bankotsu wiped away all of Kagome's tears and took a look at the red mark. It was bad, looked like it might start to swell a bit and turn blue?
He found some herbs and made a mushy gew that he put on Kagome's red cheek.
"This will help with the swelling..." Explained Bankotsu while gently rubbing the herbal cream onto her cheek.
Kagome nodded her head and then Bankotsu used his thumb to wipe of the blood coming from her lip. She had stopped crying and was now being silent. She didn't speak the entire night, only nodded when Bankotsu tried to talk to her...
He embraced Kagome and then laid her next to him, he kissed her on the forehead and closed his eyes... Trying to forget about today... He promised to get that stupid mutt, and teach him a lesson!
Kagome soon gave into sleep and he saw her breathing settle down. Now she was breathing at the right pace.
Her face was red from crying and her cheek was still red as ever...
Kagome dreamt about her and Bankotsu living a long happy life with each other... She snuggled closer to his chest and soon fell into a deep sleep... Bankotsu watched agome for a while and placed his hand on hers... He too fell asleep still holding onto Kagome's hand as he dreamed...
