A/N: Okay everyone, I'm sorry about how in the first chapter it said the same sentence twice at the beginning; it didn't do that when I actually wrote it, so sorry about that. Also, if I just want to thank Yuti-chan, and kittyb78 for my first two reviews. Thanks, guys! It really encourages me to write the next chapters! Also, I just want to let y'all know that fluff will NOT come in for awhile, probably. I just have to see how it goes. I'm so tired of all the Ban/kag stories going straight into fluff. I like it when characters are more as they were originally, although I have to admit it's going to be hard to make Bankotsu fall in love with Kagome as it would have naturally happened. Anyway I just want to tell ya'll that Bankotsu and the others are going to be really mean to her AT FIRST, but it will get better later. So just warning you guys. And I have no idea if I have to do the disclaimer thing or not, but I figure since I see it on everybody else's stories that I should.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters, Rumiko Takahashi does.
Summary- Kagome is kidnapped by the band of seven because of her power to sense the jewel shards. With Koga and Inuyasha searching for her, can she really fall in love?
Warnings- Mild Language
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.
Inuyasha had been up all night worrying about Kagome, although he had appeared to be asleep. He truly hoped Kagome was doing what they told her to.
Miroku was the first one up besides Inuyasha. He woke Sango gently, and that woke Shippo and Kirara up. Sango was already packing things up before Inuyasha was down from the tree.
Minutes later, they were ready to leave. They walked over to were Inuyasha said the scent faded. They looked all over and around that place, but there was no sign of them. They really knew how to hide themselves.
Inuyasha growled in frustration. Sango and Miroku sighed. Shippo almost cried. Kirara whimpered. Everyone was starting to really get aggravated.
"Dammit! I can't find any trails! We have no lead on where they have taken her!" Inuyasha finally yelled.
"Inuyasha just calm down. They couldn't have gone too far, right? I mean, how much can someone travel in one night?" Sango tried, worry evident in her expression.
Inuyasha punched a tree. He had to find some way to vent his frustration, right?
"I suggest Sango, Kirara and I go north. That's were I saw them going. Shippo and Inuyasha can go…. Wherever you think is right. But I think we should split up. It would give us a better chance at finding Kagome." Miroku pointed out, trying to focus on the positive.
"What!?" Inuyasha yelled angrily.
"I agree with Miroku, we could definitely cover more ground! Come on Inuyasha; don't get so worked up!" Sango said trying to calm him down.
"Not that! There's no way that little runt is coming with me! I can go so much faster without him! Besides, I don't want him annoying me to death on the way!" Inuyasha said defensively.
She should've known. It was just like him to through a fit over something stupid like this.
Inuyasha was surprised when Shippo didn't say anything back to him. He was obviously still sulking over Kagome being gone.
Sango sighed. "Look Inuyasha, this is no time to be complaining over something silly like that. Miroku was just trying to even out the groups. Shippo can come with us, but you'll be alone. Don't complain to us." Sango said and got prepared to leave.
They were just about to go when Inuyasha grabbed the hilt of Tetsusaiga, ready in a battle stance. "What is it Inuyasha?" Miroku asked, and then sensed the demonic aura himself.
"That damn wolf needs to mind his own business." Inuyasha muttered.
A whirlwind appeared and Miroku relaxed, but Inuyasha did nothing of the sort. This was all he needed right now. He was already so pissed off as it is, he didn't need that wolf to rub it in.
Koga landed in front of them and growled. "Where's Kagome?! How come I don't smell her?" He said angrily.
"Go away wolf, this is no concern of yours." Inuyasha said, not putting down Tetsusaiga.
"Kagome is always my concern, now where the hell is she?!" He demanded.
"She got kidnapped by the Shichinitai. We didn't know. They had outnumbered us, while their leader grabbed her. It was our fault." Sango said calmly before Inuyasha said something stupid and a fight broke out.
Koga growled again. "I knew you couldn't protect her, you stupid mutt! I would never have let her get hurt like that!" Koga yelled.
"Whatever, I'll get her back! Just stay out of it!" Inuyasha retorted.
"No, you stay out of it! I'll be the one to rescue Kagome!" Koga said, and prepared to charge at him.
"Guys will you just stop fighting!? Kagome wouldn't want it of you two! And besides, you're wasting time with pointless sparring when you could be on your way saving her!" Sango yelled, not wanting a fight to come about the two.
Koga stopped then began to speak again. "I don't have time to waste killing you, I have to save Kagome!" He said then bolted away in his whirlwind.
Inuyasha growled for the third time that day and put his sword up. "Let's get going."
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.
Kagome was awoken by a loud sound. It sounded like a…. door…. Smashing to the ground.
'Oh yeah' Kagome thought and sat up. Bankotsu was standing there… frowning. She was pretty sure frowning was bad.
"Trying to get out, were we wench?" He asked and looked down at the obviously torn down door on the ground.
She just let out a barely audible whimper, looking up at him with fearful eyes. She wasn't sure how he would react to her trying to escape.
"Listen, and listen good. If you ever try to escape again, it'll be your head. Is that clear?" He asked. She nodded her head slowly.
"Good. Now if you want to eat, you better come on." He said and walked out of the room swiftly.
She got out of bed and peered down the long hallway. Her bedroom was at the very end of it and he was already half way down. She ran to catch up with him, and then silently followed.
They walked into the large dining hall and he sat down. She looked and found the only open seat between Bankotsu and Mukotsu. She hesitantly sat down.
Bankotsu was at the head of the table, with Jakotsu to his right, and Renkotsu beside him. She was to his left, with Mukotsu beside her, and Suikotsu at the other head.
Kagome looked as the men piled so much food onto their plates that it was nearly drooping off the sides. She waited until they were done until she served herself.
She very slowly reached her hand out to grab a piece of the boar meat they had. She couldn't reach it.
She didn't want to ask anyone to pass it to her. They would probably do something mean, and she didn't want that.
She looked over to Bankotsu, who kept his face expressionless, then stood up out of her chair and leaned forward over the table to get the food. She was glad no one had stopped her. The last thing she needed right now was attention.
Her eyes widened and she froze when she felt a hand on her backside. She gasped then immediately dropped the meat and fell to the right of her on the ground, trying to get away from the wandering hand.
Kagome looked up to Mukotsu with fear, confusion, and anger. She couldn't manage to say anything.
They all laughed at her. Bankotsu was about to fall out of his chair when Kagome's face turned angry. She stood up, dusted her skirt off, and sat back down with as much pride as she could muster.
The laughter ceased and Kagome stared down at her plate. It was empty. She still didn't have any meat.
She looked up at Bankotsu who was clearly able to reach it. "Umm, could you pass the meat please?" She asked nicely.
He just smiled and shook his head no. He found it amusing when she freaked out about Mukotsu's flirting habits.
Kagome gave him an angry look and rolled her eyes, then looked towards Mukotsu. "Don't even think about." She said angrily then got up to lean over and get the meat.
She froze again when she felt the hand on her backside for a second time. But this time, she didn't fall to the ground and freak out, she followed her instincts.
She turned immediately and slapped him across the face yelling, "Get your hands off me pervert!"
She was immediately pinned against the wall by a bright-cheeked Mukotsu. He laughed seductively as he pressed his body up to hers. "I'll do whatever I want girl. And I think I want you." He said, smiling evilly.
She gasped and felt the tears well up in her eyes. Before she could stop them they fell down her face in salty drops, getting the collar of her shirt wet.
"Get off her Mukotsu; we don't have time for that. We need to get going." Bankotsu said when he noticed Kagome crying.
Mukotsu let Kagome's body fall to the floor roughly. He laughed lustfully. "Tonight, then." He insisted.
Kagome felt her muscles tense up, and she started wailing right there. Her life was over. He was going to ruin her!
"No." Bankotsu said harshly to Mukotsu; his expression angry.
"What? Why not make a third use for the wench while she is with us Big Brother?" Mukotsu asked curiously.
Bankotsu glared at his comrade angrily. "I don't need to explain myself. Now get going." He said, his eyes never leaving Mukotsu.
The rest walked out of the room to pack up what they would need for the trip. They were coming back to the castle after the day was over, so they didn't need too much.
"Get up and stop crying girl, your fine." Bankotsu said in the same cold voice.
Kagome sniffled and looked up at him. Had he really just saved her from Mukotsu? Why? "Thank you." She murmured; eyes still puffy from crying.
"Hm. Whatever, I didn't do it for you." He said harshly.
"Then… why?" She asked curiously.
"Well it's not like I have to explain anything to you but I will, just so you don't get any ideas." He paused. "It wouldn't really be helpful if you couldn't walk." He said in the same tone.
Kagome gasped, and then shuddered at the thought.
"You wanted to know. Anyway, we need to get going so get up and come on." He said and walked out of the room.
She got up and followed him outside. The others were waiting.
Bankotsu sprinted inside, but came out in a few seconds with Banryu.
"Let's go." He said emotionlessly and headed out. The others silently followed.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.
A/N: Okay so what did you think? Sorry if it's a little short. I'm not really sure how long it is because I can't really tell until I post it. Anyway sorry the times with Inuyasha are short. I just don't really get as much fun out of writing times with Inuyasha as I do writing times with Kagome and Bankotsu. And like I said, not much fluff. But I'll get to it eventually, don't worry. Please review! Thank you! And I am open to any ideas/ suggestions/ comments or whatever. Don't hesitate. Hope you liked it and thank you for reading! But remember, I'm new to writing so don't be too mean.
