Chapter Ten: Jealous much?

Kagome sat across from the raven haired man, jaw slackened. She had just treated Bankotsu, former leader of the Band of Seven, to a generous lunch and listened to his sad story of what happened after she was rescued. She sat there and listened on how he traveled back to Naraku's house, carrying Renkotsu on his back the entire way, and how Renkotsu had sold him out to Naraku. She listened on how he was on the run for a long and exhausting week, with barely any food or water with nonstop moving. She couldn't believe one of his very own comrades betrayed him… wait, yes she could. It was Renkotsu after all and he was very independent from the group. She shook her head and went straight into thought on what she could do. She watched as he ate and contemplated on whether or not it was the truth. She didn't know if he was lying or not, though if he was, he was a pretty good actor. He had all the right emotions at the right times for what just happened to him. Kagome sighed heavily as her gaze wandered about the place. What am I going to do?

Kagome's gaze continued to wander until they spotted something, more like someone, at the door. The last person she wanted to see, or ever expected to see in town, at this very moment had come through the door, Inuyasha. Their gazes met and he started his way over to her.

Kuso.

As Inuyasha got to the table, his eyes caught sight of the purple-cross-on-the-forehead human. His eyes narrowed and he pointed an accusing finger.

"You!"

"What?"

"You kidnapped Kagome!"

"Yeah… and?"

Inuyasha opened his mouth to say something pushing his finger forward, then backed down. He did this two more times before finally speaking again.

"Bastard!" Inuyasha grabbed the man's sword strap, pulling him close to his face, growling. Kagome rolled her eyes at the sight.

"Inuyasha, put him down. He's been through enough already."

"You're on his side!?"

"He's on our side. Naraku's after him, too, and he has no where to go. We should let him tag along for a while. It couldn't hurt to let him come along."

"Bitch, he kidnapped you! Put you in danger and you want him to "tag along"!?"

"He is in danger now too, because of me, cum-bubble!"

"Twat!"

"Twat waffle!"

"Cum guzzler!"

"Eunuch!"

Inuyasha shut up immediately and stared at Kagome with wide eyes. He couldn't believe the crudeness the woman had. He was surprised that he wasn't appalled by it at all. In fact, he was turned on, but he would never let her know that. A look of distaste crossed his features, a snarl escaping his throat.

"You didn't call me what I think you just called me?"

"You're not a eunuch… are you?" Kagome asked, mock surprise dripping in every word.

She even flashed her eyes south of the border and then back up to meet his gaze. An evil smirk made its way onto her face.

"Of course not! I've been with plenty of woman and they enjoyed every minute of it!" He exclaimed before he even knew what he was saying.

"Yeah, Lady Kikyo being one of them, I might add." Bankotsu said adding in his two cents.

"Yeah, of cour…se…" Inuyasha's eyes widened at the look he was getting from Kagome.

Oh shit, I'm in trouble now. Kagome's countenance held rage beyond that of a normal person, tears threatening to fall. Kagome's gaze held Inuyasha's, distracting him as he didn't see her hand coming at his face. As the sound of flesh hitting flesh resounded in the restaurant, everyone went silent. Inuyasha took a quick glance around and noticed everyone's eyes were on them. She stormed out of the place, tears streaming down her face.

"It seems I know more about Kagome than you. Lady Kikyo is the one who is getting married to Lord Naraku. Also, Kagome hates Kikyo with a burning passion." Bankotsu stated before running out after Kagome to get on her good side.

Inuyasha stood there, dumbfounded, and didn't realize when Miroku came up behind him and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Whoa, what happened to you?"

"I fucked up… bad." He stated before walking out of the restaurant, eyes following him.

Miroku blinked a few times before going after his captain.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome made her way, silently, through the busy market place, being virtually unnoticed, for once in her life, and she wanted it that way. She wasn't crying, as much, anymore and didn't care who saw. She had gone all the way through the busiest streets in order to make her way to the more secluded part of town. She looked around to make sure no one was around before stopping and started sobbing to herself. She sobbed for what she had learned of Inuyasha and Kikyo, now formally known as Kinky-hoe. She thought angrily. She was mostly crying out of anger and confusion. She didn't understand why she had acted that way. It wasn't like Inuyasha was hers. Even so, that was in the past. As hard as she tried, she couldn't get the picture of Inuyasha and Kikyo together out of her head. She snapped out of her thoughts by her name being called. She rubbed her eyes with her sleeves quickly, trying to get rid of the evidence of her crying, but her red puffy eyes would be a dead give away.

"Kagome! Are you alright!?"

"Oh, Bankotsu, It's just you. I thought it was one of Inuyasha's crew members."

"I am so sorry, Kagome! I shouldn't have said anything. It was not my place to say anything." Bankotsu apologized, though on the inside he was smirking maliciously.

"No, no, Bank. You are not the one at fault here." Kagome insisted, trying to hold back a sob, looking away.

Bankotsu gently placed a bent finger under her chin and made her look at him in the eyes.

"Hey, hey, no more crying. He isn't worth your tears." He whispered, leaning in closer, backing Kagome into an alley way wall.

Kagome's eyes widened as he continued to lean in, knowing full well what he was doing, but she couldn't move. She was mentally and physically exhausted. She was like a deer in headlights… only without the headlights. He barely touched her lips before she felt him being ripped away from her. She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding, and looked to see a dark brown pony-tailed man, in front of her in a defensive position.

"Keep your grimy hands off of her." Kouga growled, glaring at Bankotsu.

If looks could kill, Bankotsu would be six feet under and then some.

"Kouga, it's okay," Kagome whispered, placing a gentle hand on Kouga's shoulder.

"No! IT'S NOT OKAY! THIS BASTARD KISSED MY WOMAN WHILE SHE WAS CRYING!" He barked, punching Bankotsu in the stomach, winding him. He then proceeded to grab his braided pony-tail and started dragging him back to the ship.

"Kouga!" Kagome yelled and ran after him, continuing to yell at the wolf yōkai the entire way.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inuyasha was sitting in his office sulking when he heard a commotion out on the deck. He was about to ignore it and go back to sulking when Shippou barged in.

"Kouga is dragging Bankotsu by his braid, while Kagome is yelling at him!"

Inuyasha sighed and rose to his feet. He walked out just in time to see Kouga land a square hit on Bankotsu's jaw. He smirked until Kagome started yelling at the wolf. Kouga then turned to him. Kouga picked Bankotsu up by his braid.

"What the fuck is this son of a whore doing here!? Why the fuck was Kagome crying!? What the fuck did you do now!?" Kouga screamed at the captain.

Inuyasha looked toward Kagome and she looked away, but before she could fully turn away he caught sight of her puffy eyes. It was proof enough that she had, indeed, been crying, besides the faint scent of salt water that can only be identified by tears. He brought his gaze back over to Kouga and Bankotsu. He had yet to say anything and could tell Kouga was getting impatient.

"Kagome was crying because I am the world's biggest asshole. He's here because apparently Naraku is after him too. What I did is none of your concern. Now throw that ingrate into the work no one wants to do and don't make it easy on him. I don't trust him as far as Shippou can throw him." Inuyasha scoffed and turned back into the captain's quarters.

He sat down on the bed, putting his elbows onto his knees, his forehead resting on his fists, his eyes shut. Great, now I got two pains in the ass to deal with. He thought, sighing heavily. He looked up from his spot on the bed to a knock at the door.

"Come in." He said and held his breath as the person walk in, closing the door behind her.

Kagome…

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been a week and a half since the Bankotsu incident and Kagome was getting annoyed by three specific males in particular. Kouga kept calling her "his woman" no matter how many empty bottles she chucked at his head. Inuyasha was, well being the arrogant jerk he had always been, even more so after she apologized for her behavior. Bankotsu just kept staring openly at her. At first it was every once in a while, now he does it incessantly. She was getting extremely ticked off to the point where her eye would twitch. She grumbled down the hallway, not paying attention to where she was going, and ran straight into the back of someone she really didn't want to run into. One of the annoying trio, Bankotsu.

"Hello, Kagome." He purred as he leaned closer to her.

"H-Hello, Bankotsu…" She backed up, meeting the wall. She gulped as he put his hands on the wall behind her, trapping her. He leaned in more, his lips close to her ears.

"You've been avoiding me." He whispered, his breath tickling her ear. She shivered, but not out of pleasure, but out of fear. She tried to form words, but he had pulled back a bit and was now leaning in to kiss her. His lips were an inch away when a feral growl disrupted the silence. Bankotsu snapped his head up but was met with a clawed hand pushing him away from Kagome roughly. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's wrist and pulled her down the hallway and out of sight of Bankotsu. He pulled her along until he was satisfied with the distance between them and him.

"What the fuck was that!?"

"What was what!?"

"Don't play dumb with me, Kagome!"

"He was going to kiss me and you're acting like you caught us rutting!"

"You might as well have been." He growled.

"Jealous much?"

"I am not jealous."

"They mean nothing to me, Inuyasha." She said knocking his captain's hat off his head and rubbing the soft appendages that are his dog-ears.

He growled softly in pleasure, leaning in to her touch, unconsciously going forward enough to back her into the wall. He grabbed her wrist gently, causing her to stop.

"Inuyasha…" she stated, confusion in her tone, looking into his golden orbs. He leaned in to her, the seconds slowing down. Their lips met, the kiss light and sweet, at first. Kagome's eyes fluttered shut as their kiss heated up into a passionate one. She gasped when she felt his tongue run along her bottom lip. He took advantage of this and slipped his tongue into her mouth, caressing hers. She moaned lightly at the pleasure he brought out in her.

"DO YOU MIND DOING THAT WHEN YOU ARE NOT ON A SHIP OF DEMONS!?" Came Myoga's voice from somewhere on the ship. The two immediately broke apart looking down the hallway they believed Myoga was in the direction of. Kagome could have sworn she heard "Do what? Do what?" from a confused kitsune. Kagome blushed a deep red and turned back to Inuyasha, who had a dust of a blush on his face as well.

"Uhm… Inuyasha?"

"Hm?"

"Can you move, please?"

"Oh, right, yeah. Sorry." He said, moving away from Kagome, almost whimpering at the loss of warmth that just radiated from her body. She gave a slight nod in thanks and walked off in the direction towards her room.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naraku had to take time away from his house so he decided he would take Lady Kikyo out to dinner. After they had finished and left the restaurant, they went for a romantic walk in the streets of Kyoto. Naraku heard someone whispered his name as he walked by, and came to a slow stop.

"My sweet, I just remembered some business I need to attend to right away. I will come back to the house as soon as I take care of it, go on ahead without me." He told her as sweetly as possible. He gave her a peck on the lips before making sure she was heading towards their home.

"What is it that you want, Renkotsu?" The bald man appeared out of the shadows.

"Just wanting to cheek in with you. Give you an update on the matter at hand." He said, bowing.

"I see, continue."

"Bankotsu has successfully lied his way onto the ship. Kagome seems like she trusts him, but he's not sure as she has been avoiding everyone, but the kitsune, all week."

"Interesting enough, good work."

"Thank you, Lord Naraku." He bowed again before disappearing into the shadows once more. Naraku made his way through the streets and toward his home. Nothing to do now but wait and see how things turn out. Though it doesn't hurt to speed things along… he thought evilly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inuyasha sat in his "office," with Miroku, Kouga, Ginta, and Hakkaku sitting in various places around the room.

"Gentlemen, I do believe there is a spy for Naraku on this ship. Hell I think there are two, since the arrival of human-lover-boy, but there is someone other than him. I think someone is keeping track of every move we make. Every port we try to land in the Navy is already there. We need to port soon as we are running low on supplies. Now tell me, have you seen anyone acting suspicious or constantly looking at Kagome or myself?"

Kouga opened his mouth to say something.

"Besides, Sir Braided-hair."

Kouga closed his mouth.

"During the storm that was a while back, down in the living area where everyone stayed there was this guy who just kept looking at Kagome, and just watched her sleep. I see the guy every once in a while looking in the direction of either you or Kagome. I think his name is Muso. He's another human on this ship." Miroku spoke up.

"And why didn't you tell me this before?" Inuyasha ground out.

"I was going to but then so many things happened after that, it must have slipped my mind." Miroku informed him.

Inuyasha let out a heavy sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Alright, everyone keep an eye on this Muso guy and report anything suspicious. Also, keep an eye on Kagome as I am going to be distancing myself from her. I need all of you to look after her for me."

All of them nodded.

"Dismissed." Inuyasha concluded and they all left but Miroku.

"You really like her, don't you?"

"I do, Miroku. I don't know why, but I really do."
