Chapter Two
Words of an Assassin
"Me?" said the man.
"I am Bankotsu. Leader of the Shichinintai."
Kagome stared into his eyes. Then she screamed..
"Inuyasha!!" she shouted to the air hoping and praying that someone, anyone would hear her and come to help her.
"Hey! Shut up wench!!" yelled Bankotsu to make himself heard above her yelling.
That just made her even more scared. Finding that her voice was like cut off at that moment, all she could do sink back into the waters that was now her only protection against the leader of the feared group of assassins.
Then she got an idea. She started to slowly edge towards her towel to attempt to escape and run her ass outta here. When she got to the edge of the pool, she grabbed her towel and She was about to jump up and run away but Bankotsu caught her arm and forced her to sit back down.
Well..She's scared of me...That's all I know... thought Bankotsu. But she is a pretty face...and...maybe Jakotsu was right...Maybe a girl will do me good... So he decided to be nice...for now anyways..."Hey. Dont run away." he said turning her face towards his. " Im not gonna hurt you...I dont go around killing pretty ladies now do I." It took a lot of Bankotsu's brain cells to piece together one good sentence that wasnt threatening, i mean not that he had a lot of them...
Kagome was at lost for words. Is he actually being nice?...I mean after what I heard about the Shichinintai..and hes the leader too!
Slowly, Kagome began to loosen up and lose some of her fear. " Im getting outta this pool. Cover you eyes or turn around while I get out." she said.
Heh..A little bossy and fiery.. I like that...thought Bankotsu slowly pivoting around. " Okay beautiful, just dont take too long.." he said.
Kagome got herself out of the hot spring and wrapped her body up with a towel. It was long enough to cover her down to her knees.
She also decided to fool around with him if he kept calling her "pretty lady" or " beautiful". "Okay so I wont run away from you. But what is such a handsome man doing here on such a beautiful night. And alone too!" said Kagome. Bankotsu smiled. " Heh. Think Im handsome?.." he asked.
"You think Im beautiful?" she asked back. Bankotsu's face broke into a grin.
" As pretty as you think me handsome." he said. Kagome smiled. " Oh..I think you're the most handsome guy in this land then."
Bankotsu laughed. This girl knows how to play around...I wonder what shes doing here by herself though...gah..Bankotsu...dont fall for her..shes...shes so hot...and..FUCK!...stop... " Then you're the prettiest girl in this land." Then he leaned forwards and whispered into her ear " And Im not bullshitting you either." Oh my god! Did I just say that!?!...but then again...maybe shes the one...I want... thought Bankotsu.
Kagome blushed harder. Then suddenly, Inuyasha's face appeared infront of her eyes Am I being unfaithful...to my feeling towards him??...Am I...flirting with this guy right now!?! And he says hes the leader of the Shichinintai...omg...flirting with the enemy...but he is kinda hot...KAGOME!! STOP!!...but he is...She saw Inuyasha yelling at her about how she was usless and just a shard detector, and then running off to go into the arms of the undead Kikyo again who of course was SO much better than she was. Without her wanting them to, tears fell down her eyes.
And yes, Bankotsu was a little taken back by her going form happy flirty go happy girl to a depressed, crying girl in the space of a few seconds. He akwardly bent infont of her and tried to comfort her, seeing he was good at fighting, not girls. He had no experience whatsoever in comforting girls that suddenly burst into tears.
Kagome let her tears fall onto the cold hard stone. Cold and hard, like Inuyasha's heart. "I- Im sorry..." she managed to choke out despite her tears.
Bankotsu looked at her for a long time. Then he slid over to Kagome and laid her head onto his shoulder. Woah...one hour since meeting her and im...
Kagome stopped crying for a second and lifted her head to look up at him. " Bankotsu?" she whispered. "Kagome. Just...shhh..." whispered Bankotsu turning his head to face her.
"Why? I thought...you were a merciless killer...Why? Why are you being so nice to me??.." asked Kagome. Bankotsu looked into her eyes and didnt break off the contact. Only then did Kagome realize that what she said might not have been the smartest thing to say. "Um..." said Kagome and stared back into his eyes trying to think of something to say. " Kagome. I dont deny that im a merciless killer" Kagome gasped and scooted away from Bankotsu as fast as she can.
But she didnt know that he was sitting on a corner of her towel. As she moved, the towel fell and revealed her whole naked body to him. Every curve, every part. Bankotsu stared. Kagome screamed and reached for her towel. But it was still stuck under Bankotsu's ass.
Kagome looked at him. " Can you PLEASE move so I can cover myself up!?!" she half yelled half said. Bankotsu snapped outta it and said " Listen to me first. I promise I wont look." Kagome looked into his eyes and knew that there was no way around it . So she covered herself the best she could with her arms and looked at the leader of the Shichinintai.
After a while of silence, "Um...so are you gonna say anything at all?" asked Kagome while shivering. Bankotsu looked at her. Then he pulled her into him so she was sitting on his lap and he wrapped his arms around her."Kagome, I might be a merciless killer ...but if I had wanted to kill you...Why didnt I do so already?.."
"Um..." said Kagome then blushed majorly, noticing that she was sitting NAKED on top of the LEADER of the SHCHININTAI of all people. Bankotsu noticed the blush and looked down. He blushed too. Kagome only noticed the "Look down" part so she jumped off Bankotsu and shouted "HENTAI!" and slapped him across the face.
The slap echoed throughout the woods. Kagome looked shocked at what she had just done. " Um..." she stammered and knew that she want probably gonna get killed for that. She looked fearfully at Bankotsu.
He looked back at her for a while then laughed. He got up and went over to pick his halberd up. Kagome stiffened. Yup. She was gonna die. No more sugary words or flirting. This was her deathbed.
Kagome backed up and away from the mercenary. And on the way she grabbed her towel. But she stumbled on a rock and fell backwards.
Bankotsu walked over to her with the halberd on his shoulder. Kagome summoned up her last ounce of courage and said " Wait!"
He looked at her. " What?" he asked. Kagome stood up and wrapped the towel around her body. " I know you're gonna kill me now. But let me die with honor. Please..Let me die on my feet." she said and tears fell out her eyes. Inuyasha...Sango...Miroku..Shippo..Kirara...Kaede...Mama...Souta.. Grandpa...Goodbye...
"Kagome." said Bankotsu. She opened her eyes and looked at him. He was standing there looking at her with a face as confused as hell. "You're dying?? From what??" he asked. Kagome did a major sweatdrop.
"...Arent..you gonna kill me...For...slapping you?..." she whispered not looking at him, but looking at the ground instead. Bankotsu laughed. "No...Normally I would've,...if any other girl slapped me like that...but...since its you.." and he winked at her here " I wont kill you."
Kagome's jaw dropped and hit the floor. " N-nani?" she whispered.
"Dont believe me Kagome?" said Bankotsu. Kagome shook her head. " Then why did you pick up your...uh...giant...uh...sword like thingy..?" she asked.
He laughed. " This is my baby Banryuu. And I picked it up cause I gotta get back to my brothers. It's late you know. You got a place to go to?"
"Ya..." she said really quietly. Bankotsu didnt want to ask her, but it was just too tempting.
"Kagome. Why are you so sad?" he asked as he lifted her chin up to look at her. " A pretty girl like you could have everything you want." he continued. " Guys...for example..." he added a lot quieter. DAMN! Guess like I did fall for her...Shit and in one day too...better watch my mouth...and what I say to her...and I guess...I have to earn her love...sigh...I wish this were as easy as fighting...
"Bankotsu.." she whispered back.. "I-..." but then her tears overflowed her eyes and that prevented her from talking anymore.
He walked over to her. " Then my beautiful Kagome, dont tell me now. Tell me when you want." he said as he pulled her with the arm that wasnt holding Banryuu into his chest and held her in a one armed hug. SHIT!!!! MY!?!? Kagome??? thought Bankotsu And right after I reminded myself to watch my mouth SHIT SHIT SHIT!! hope she dosent notice...and when he realized that he was hugging her he sweatdroped and thought, so much for not noticing...
MY Kagome??Did he just call me HIS Kagome??? You know...hes not as bad as I thought... thought Kagome. Not to mention hes hugging me right now...
"Um..." said Kagome as they both pulled away. She had a major blush on her face and so, amazingly did Bankotsu. "Uh..I guess...I'm gonna go now...I uh..I'll see you sometime later..." stammered Kagome. Bankotsu just stood there and blushed.
He stared at her for a long time. Then he said " See ya then..." and he quickly pecked Kagome on the cheek then walked away.
Kagome just stared at his retreating figure, then she touched the cheek that he had kissed. She sighed and got dressed. Wow...I wish SOMEONE was as good to me as he was...cough Inuyasha cough...
Picking up her things and still deep in thought, she made her way back to the campsite where her companions were.
The moment her foot stepped into the clearing, " OI! Wench! Where have you been!? How long does a fucking shower take!"
"Sit." said Kagome simply. She put her stuff away and then turned back to Iuyasha. " Why would YOU care how long I take at the showers when your off with KIKYO!?! All you care about is the damn it jewel shards!!" she yelled.
"Glad to know that you know you have JEWEL SHARDS on you! You couldve gotten yourself KILLED" yelled back Inuyasha climbing out of his crater for the thrid time today.
"Jewel shards jewel shards!! Is that all you care about?!?! Are you saying I cant protect myself?!?Are you-" yelled back Kagome but was inturrupted by Shippo's voice.
"Kagome, Inuyasha. You BOTH smell like grave yard dirt and soil." he said innocently. That got a kick outta everyone.
"So you DID go see Kikyo!" yelled Kagome. " I never said I didnt!" yelled back Inuyasha. " But unless YOU've been visiting Kikyo, WHY the fuck do YOU smell like grave yard dirt and soil?!?"
Silence.
"Kagome?" asked Sango with a questioning look. "Keh. And that smell is all over you!" said Inuyasha after sniffing at Kagome for a while. " Lady Kagome? Who or what did you see at the hot springs after we left?" asked Miroku. " And It smells like you were...hugging it or something!" yelled Shippo, also sniffing at Kagome.
Kagome turned nice and red like a big shiny tomato.
Flashback
"Bankotsu.." she whispered back.. "I-..." but then her tears overflowed her eyes and that prevented her from talking anymore.
He walked over to her. " Then my beautiful Kagome, dont tell me now. Tell me when you want." he said as he pulled her with the arm that wasnt holding Banryuu into his chest and held her in a one armed hug.
End flashback.
"I er...um..." stammered Kagome. Ya thats right. " Yes Inuyasha I was at the hotsprings and i met the leader of the shichinintai, yes the perople we want to kill and he hugged me and kissed my cheek when he left." ...ya..Inuyasha's gonna blow up on me...
"Or did you turn lesbian and you dont wanna tell us and you were getting it on with Kikyo?" said Inuyasha while smirking.
"Inuyasha SIT!" she yelled. Inuyasha fell into the fourth Inuyasha shaped crater there was in their little clearing. " YOU were with Kikyo!" she continued
"Kagome...Calm down." said Sango. " You know that nothing that comes outta Inuyasha's mouth is worth listening to."
Kagome managed to calm down a little and crack a small smile. " You right Sango. So maybe Ill just SIT-thump- here and I will talk about more important things with you guys. Actually all this SITTING-thump- is making me tired. So ill stop SITTING-thump- and ill go to bed. You guys can SIT-thump- around for as long as you like, but when you guys also get tired of SITTING-thump- you can go to bed too.
And with that Kagome stood up and went over to get her sleeping stuff ready. Inuyasha was still stuck in his crater and Sango, Miroku and Shippo were smiling. Shippo looked like he was gonna burst at any given moment.
"Shippo! Im going to sleep!" called Kagome. Shippo turned around and jumped into Kagome's sleeping bag. " Goodnight Sango, Good night Miroku, Goodnight Inuyasha." Kagome called. Each of them said goodnight back to her except Inuyasha.
Only after Kagome had slid into the bedding and he was snuggled up against her did Shippo burst out laughing.
"Shippo?" asked Kagome giving him a funny look. "It-its nothing..." said Shippo trying to calm himself down. " Then goodnight." she whispered and gave him a kiss on top of his head. Inuyasha climbed out of his crater just in time to see the kiss. He growled. Shippo turned around and stuck his tounge out at him with a dont you wish you were me look on his face.
Inuyasha looked like he wanted to punch the shit out of Shippo right then.
"Houshi sama, Inuyasha. Im going to bed too." said Sango getting up and laying beside the fire. Miroku nodded. "Inuyasha. Ill take first watch. You can go to sleep. Ill wake you up in a few hours." he said.
Inuyasha nodded and jumped into his tree. His stomach growled. Then he remembered something.
"KAGOME!! Wheres my ramen!!??!!"
Bankotsu slowly walked back to the hut where he and his brothers were staying in. As he pushed the bamboo mat aside, he saw that everyone was there. Jakotsu, Ginkotsu and Renkotsu were sitting around the fire.
"Bankotsu no aniki! We still havent found Suikotsu yet.." said Renkotsu, but he looked like he was deep in thought. Bankotsu didnt answer him and sat down.
"I was thinking we could use the sacred jewel shards to revive Kyokotsu again? So then we could be the band of seven again. Oh ya...and find that Suikotsu while were at it." said Jakotsu. Bankotsu still looked unintrested.
"Bankotsu no aniki? Whats up with you?" asked Jakotsu scratching his head. Then a lightbulb went off. " OH! Did you find a girl to your liking!?!" he exclaimed. Bankotsu's face turned red and he mumbled something about taking a walk and walked out the door. Renkotsu said something about getting some fresh air and followed him out.
"SHIT! How did Jakotsu figure it out!!!" yelled Bankotsu as he punched a tree to no one in particular when he was out of hearing range of the hut.
"So you did find a girl to you liking??" asked a voice behind him. Bankotsu had a nice heart attack and turn around. Renkotsu stood there with a bunch of flowers in his hand. "Y-yeah..." mumbled Bankotsu looking at the ground to hide his blush
Woah...Bankotsu is like never embarrassed no matter what...He must really like this girl...I wonder who she is?... thought Renkotsu.
"Anyways, What are you doing with a bunch of flowers Renkotsu?" asked Bankotsu. " Did YOU find a girl to you liking as well??" Renkotsu sighed then nodded. "Ya..."he said quietly. "So you picked flowers for her huh?" said Bankotsu. " Flowers is one way to a girls heart if you want their love...I think.." said Renkotsu looking at the flowers. " Really!?!" asked Bankotsu standing like an extra two feet taller, which was saying something since he was usually a head shorter than Renkotsu. " Im gonna go pick myself some flowers then!" yelled Bankotsu . " Um...pick YOURSELF flowers??.." asked another voice behind them. The two of them turned around. Jakotsu stood there with a hilarious expression on his face. " I thought you liked a girl...not yourself...but hey..if you do go ahead."
Bankotsu gave Jakotsu a -.- face and said "You know what I meant. I need to pick HER some flowers." "Oh...So you DID find a girl to your liking." said Jakotsu with a smile. " I- SHIT!" yelled Bankotsu. Jakotsu laughed and said "Dont worry Bankotsu no aniki, ill help you out if you want." "Really?" asked Bankotsu. "Sure..I dont think Renkotsu needs any help though." said Jakotsu looking at Renkotsu's armfull of flowers. " I..HEY! Are you calling me stupid!!??" yelled Bankotsu.
Renkotsu and Jakotsu laughed. " No... But Im gonna go to the village tomorrow...If you want me to give anything to her...Give it to me before I leave." said Jakotsu.
"Sure!.Uh...Do you know who she is?..." asked Bankotsu realizing a little problem. " No.. But you can tell us."said Renkotsu. " I am also very intrested to see what kind of girl Bankotsu would fall in love with..."
"Um...Okay..." said Bankotsu trying to remember what she looked like. " Um...her name's Kagome. She has...long black hair and brown eyes." The other two sweatdropped and said " Bankotsu. That description fits practically evey girl here.."
"O-okay...um..." said Bankotsu. " Shes a little bossy and fiery...um...she just...dosent look like any other girl you've seen...Its like..shes from another time or something..."
"Now thats a better description Bankotsu..." said Renkotsu. " Now go pick your flowers before you forget." he added with a laugh.
Bankotsu smiled. "K then . Im going.." he said and he walked off.
Renkotsu and Jakotsu looked at each other then burst out laughing. " Bankotsu's in love!" said Jakotsu taking a bunch of flowers and tossing them into the air. Renkotsu was about to join him in throwing flowers, but then he realized that they were the precious flowers he had picked. " Jakotsu!!!" he yelled. "What?" asked Jakotsu looking at him. " You DESTROYED my flowers!!" yelled Renkotsu,shoving them in his face.
Bankotsu ran through the woods. There were a lot of flowers, but they were all so common. He wanted to find one that suited her, unique.
He stopped at the trunk of a tree and threw away his thousandth flower that he picked. " Still...not unique enough..." he said. "This is gonna take all night..." he sighed. " But I cant give up just yet now can I?..."
Kagome...But this might all just be for nothing...Kagome might already have a suitor after her...But...Theres still a chance right?...
Then he leaned back and looked up. His eyes widened. There dangling off the branch of the tree was a beautiful flower. He jumped up and picked the flower, leaving on a long stem and all the leaves still attached. It was fire red with a little black on the petals. There was a thin layer of ice on it.
" Heh..This ones nice...Its...unique enough...And the red...Hah..Her bossy firey temper...Now I better give this to Jakotsu." he said and ran back towards his hut.
OMG Bankotsu likes Kagome...-.-...Plz r&r and tell me what you think...
