Chapter Eight
Anger and Jealousy
Renkotsu, satisfied with that answer turned and led the others out. Sango gave Kagome a squeeze on her shoulders and walked out as well.
Now she was alone in the room with the crying leader of the Shichinintai.
"Bankotsu.." she said as she slowly walked towards him. "Bankotsu...Please...Answer me..." she begged as she reached him.
All he did was turn his head so that he faced her now. But something in his eyes told Kagome that he wasn't really looking at her, but was still in a daze and was looking at the ground behind her.
"Bankotsu...Please...Tell me what's wrong..." said Kagome. Bankotsu gave a half sob, half laugh and said " Why? So you and Renkotsu can laugh at me behind my back?"
"Bankotsu..Why?...Why do you think I would ever do that?" she said reaching forwards and wiping the tears off his face.
"I thought you made it pretty obvious you didn't want me when you kissed Renkotsu after I made a fool outta myself for you..." he said as he looked away. " I- that kiss was an accident!" said Kagome. " I didn't mean to kiss Renkotsu!"
"But the feeling behind it Kagome?..." he sighed.
Kagome sighed as well. " Bankotsu...please tell me why you're crying..."
"Cant I cry?"he asked in a dead voice.
"That's not what I meant!...I mean with your tough guy ego...you probably never cry.." said Kagome, also looking away now.
"Kagome...remember a few hours earlier in my room?...I told you before, in my first time around, I wanted to kill...I never cried...I never felt hurt, I never felt scared?...That's not true now anymore..." he said in the same monotone voice. " I...have emotions...and I cry now..."
Kagome nodded. " It's in a human to cry...You wouldn't be complete if you never felt pain or sadness..." she said.
Bankotsu sighed and nodded a little. " I know...but it dosen't stop the pain or sadness..." he said quietly. " But it helps..." Kagome said. He nodded again and then a comfortable silence fell. " Love is good medicine too..." said Kagome, breaking the silence. He turned to look at her. Too bad its a one way love...
He sighed. " You and Renkotsu..." he said without realizing he did.
"Bankotsu...did Sango and Mukotsu say what they saw in the bath house?..." said Kagome quietly, still looking at the ground but a little blush crept onto her face. " No...But...It dosent matter...I know now...You and Renkotsu..." he said as more tears fell down his cheeks.
"...Renkotsu..." said Kagome " It felt so right with him...I never hesitated on anything...but now I feel so guilty...to my heart...to Inuyasha..." she whispered.
"Kagome. I want you to be happy...If Inuyasha can't forget about his dead love, then teach your heart to love another..." said Bankotsu in the same voice as before. "Renkotsu and you will be perfect together...and...you can...wish him back to life on the sacred jewel...live with him...and be happy..." he continued while turning away from her totally. "And...since you never hesitated with him...you love him don't you Kagome?..." he whispered in a weird voice. Kagome got up and walked to the other side of him, the side that his head was now facing.
She was surpirsed, even though she knew that he had been crying. If he had been crying before, it was nothing to what he was doing now. Tears were continuously coming down his cheeks and he had a choking kind of sound coming from his throat. His chest was rising and falling much quicker than usual.
"Bankotsu...Please...Stop crying..." said Kagome. " ...And...please, listen to me...You want me to be happy don't you?...With the man I love..." Bankotsu nodded a slight nod and more tears came down.
"Then I want you to be happy too Bakotsu, with the girl you love." she said and wiped his tears off his cheeks.
"But I can't" he said simply. " Why not??...Love will find a way Bankotsu...no matter what...and your night will turn to day..." she said back.
Bankotsu sighed and tried to stop crying. "Kagome..." he said " Even..if...theres no love for me in you heart...please...sit down beside me?" he continued in a much quieter voice.
She hates you...She loved Inuyasha...She loves Renkotsu...she dosen't want to be with you. A voice in Bankotsu's head told him. He listened to it and a little sound of pain came out of his mouth. Something like a choke, sob, crying sound.
Kagome felt a wave of pity come over her for Bankotsu. " You're really in pain right now aren't you...?..." she said as she took a seat next to him, a good 3 feet away. Bankotsu noticed the gap in between them. See...She dosent want to be anywhere near you...You told her to sit beside you and she sits 3 feet away from you.
"Kagome...Don't...don't feel sorry for me...Go...go to Renkotsu..." he managed to say with all the tears falling down his face.
"Bankotsu What's wrong with you!? I asked you from when I first started talking to you and you STILL haven't answered me yet!! And I'm not going ANYWHERE until you answer me!!" yelled Kagome totally ruining the mood of the place and getting up at the same time.
"Kagome..." said Bankotsu. " I don't have to tell you what's wrong with me...And you cant make me tell you either..." he said while turning away. " But Im asking you to..." she said.
"No...Im not gonna tell you...And I never will..." he said
"ARGH! I give UP!" yelled Kagome. " You are such a self centered, idiotic, guy who can't control your own feelings!!! I know IM not SPECIAL enough to receive ANY information about you that was not given to me by VILLAGERS!! IM SICK AND TIRED OF YOU!!!"
Bankotsu winced at her voice Kagome...You dont know how much I love you...I just...cant tell you yet...But I will...When the time is right...Kagome... I love you...
"Kagome..." he said. " IS MY NAME ALL YOU CAN SAY?!?!?" yelled Kagome. " Does anything more intresting come out of your mouth OTHER then my NAME?!?!"
"Your name intrests me more than anything in the world..." said Bankotsu quietly.
"ARGH!!! I TOTALLY GIVE UP ON YOU NOW! IM LEAVING!!" yelled Kagome and with that, she stomped out of the room. Bankotsu made a movement as if he was gonna stop her, but Kagome wouldn't have seen it in her rage anyways.
"SANGO!! SANGO!!" she yelled once she was out of the room. Sango and the Shichinintai came walking out of Jakotsu's room and stopped a good few meters away from her once they saw her face. " Sango!" she yelled again.
"H-hai?..." replied Sango kinda getting scared at her friend's rage. "WERE LEAVING THIS RETARDED PLACE AND THE RETARDED PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE!!" Kagome yelled as she turned away from them. " NOW!" and with that, she stomped away and towards the distant stairs that lead out of the temple.
They all looked at each other then shrugged. " What the hell did Bankotsu no aniki do to make her this mad?..." said Renkotsu looking at where Kagome had dissappeared. "What an idiot..." said Sango. " Where are you going to go now?" asked Renkotsu.
"Back to Inuyasha and Miroku." said Sango " Probably..."
"Inuyasha? Naraku...He told us...to kill him..." said Renkotsu. " In exchange for eternal life..." "NANI!!??!!" yelled Sango. " You CANT kill him!! No matter what he did to Kagome, how much pain he caused her...STILL! He dosent deserve to die!!"
"Calm down Sango...I...if Bankotsu no aniki agrees...wont fight you...I'll help you defeat Naraku...I know he can't be trusted." said Renkotsu.
"Thankyou...Renkotsu.." said Sango. " Is- are you sure Bankotsu's gonna be alright?..." Renkotsu sighed. ' No..." he said. " I think in the end...he really loved Kagome...For who she is...and forever..."
"I kinda feel sorry for him..." said Sango. "Ya..So do I..." said Renkotsu looking towards the door that would lead into where he was sitting right now.
"I- I'll miss you...Sango. And Kagome..." said Renkotsu. " Please...come back for us when the time to fight comes...But you're welcome back at anytime..."
"haha...if Kagome wants to come back...Then we will...oh! And this is a picture...its of me and Kagome.." said Sango and turned towards the stairs as well.
Renkotsu took it and looked at it. It was like a potrait of the two girls. He knew that Bankotsu no aniki would want this.
"Bye Renkotsu, Jakotsu, Ginkotsu." she said " And Mukotsu" and she stuck her tounge out at him. "HEY!" yelled Mukotsu. Sango laughed. " And tell Bankotsu I said bye as well..."
Renkotsu nodded and the Shichinintai turned away.
Sango headed down the stairs to find Kagome.
"KAGOME!!" yelled Sango " KAGOME!!". Kagome came out from sitting on a log behind a tree. "They said we can come back anytime we like." said Sango.
"I dont care. IM NEVER COMING BACK HERE EVER AGIAN!!!" Kagome yelled so loudly that Sango thought that the shichinintai at the top of the stairs probably heard it.
"Sango? Kagome?" asked a voice. The two girls turned.
They stared "MIROKU!!!" yelled the girls and threw themselves onto his body. "Haha...Nice to see you two ladies again." he said.
Inuyasha also came jumping out of a tree at that second. " Where did you go wench?" he said to Kagome. Kagome got mad...again.
"WENCH?!? WENCH!?!? is that all you can call me!?!? SIT!" she yelled and stomped away. Inuyasha mumbled his curses and then he jumped up and ran after her on the trees." Lady Sango?...What happened since we saw you last." asked Miroku. Sango shook her head and said " We dont want to talk about it...But we were safe." Miroku nodded and the two of them followed Inuyasha and Kagome down the dirt path that led away from the temple.
Days passed without any complaints. It was too peaceful, really. To the point that it wasn't natural.
But, One night, Kikyo's soul collectors appeared above the treelines. Inuyasha was sitting in a tree branch like usual and the others were sitting around the campfire.
Kagome glanced up when she saw Inuyasha looking longingly at the soul collectors. She sighed inside her heart while it broke Maybe...I should forget about Inuyasha now...he's...always gonna love Kikyo no matter what...
"Inuyasha. Go after her. I know you want to." said Kagome, not looking at him. "K-kagome?" said Inuyasha not really believing what he was hearing.
"Go. She'll be waiting for you..." said Kagome without any sort of emotion in her voice. Inuyasha looked at Kagome, then looked at the soul collectors. Then he jumped out of the tree he was sitting in and out of sight.
Kagome sighed. "Kagome...Don't be sad..." said Sango. Kagome looked at her and mumbled " That's what Bankotsu would've said..."
"I know." said Sango. " I said it because I know that that's what Bankotsu would've said to comfort you. Just...forget about him...there are so many guys out there..."
"I know Sango...I tired...And I will again. Starting from now on." said Kagome in a determined voice. "Lady Kagome, are you sure?" asked Miroku looking at her with pity in his face.
"Yes, Im sure. And I don't want your pity." said Kagome looking away into the forests far away.
Miroku nodded not really believing her, but listened to her anyways, not wanting to hurt her more.
Inuyasha returned late that night. He looked like he was the happiest guy on the planet when he came back, which made Kagome even sadder.
"I-i'm going to bed..." she said without any emotion in her voice. Sango and Miroku nodded. All Inuyasha did was jump into his branch and ignore the comments of all of his companions.
Sango and Miroku sighed. This was gonna be a long night for Kagome.
In her sleeping bag, Kagome was crying. She knew that Inuyasha knew she was crying, but then again, he didnt do anything to comfort her.
Did...did he already choose Kikyo over me??...she thought as more tears came down her eyes. She lifted her hand to wipe the tears away, and wrapped her arms more tightly around Shippo, who was, like always, sleeping beside her.
The night passed, and was followed by many many hopeless and sad days.
Kagome sighed one night 5 days after their departure from the temple. They were sitting around the campfire that the guys had built and were now roasting their dinner on. It was time to test it out.
"Sango. Take a walk with me." said Kagome. Sango nodded and the two ladies got up. " Take your bow and arrows, Kagome!" said Inuyasha. She grumbled, but took them anyways. She and Sango left the campsite and walked into the woods.
"Kagome?" said Sango after they were a long while away from the campsite and was out of hearing range of Inuyasha.
"Look at this." said Kagome and pulled something out of her pocket...
