Getting her back
Chapter
6: Old friends & new enemies?
It has been three months since Kagome has seen Naraku & since she kissed Inuyasha
Kagome was at a small café with her newest best friend Sango. The two were sitting in a corner of the building drinking coffee well in kagome's case hot chocolate.
"So kagome do you like Inuyasha?" Sango asked
"Why would you even ask a question like that?" Kagome asked while her eyes widened somewhat
"Well I mean you are always spending time with him, flirting with him, touching him…" Sango said
"You two would make a great couple." Sango said
"You think so?" Kagome asked
"Know so." Sango said
"Well maybe but not right now." Kagome said
Sango lifted an eyebrow as she spoke "Why not now?"
"I have a boyfriend." Kagome said
"YOU DO?!" Sango shouted causing customers to glare at her which in turn made her glare back
"Sango I told you that Kouga was my boyfriend months ago." Kagome said
"Eh ha ha" Sango laughed nervously
"But I know we wont stay together long distance relationships never work out." Kagome said with a sigh
"Yea but do you like the guy?" Sango asked
"He is really great and all; nice, kind of shy, protective." Kagome said
"But he just feels like a friend to me." Kagome added
"So when are you breaking it off?" Sango asked
"Well I don't want to do it over the phone but it looks like that's my only choice" Kagome said whilst frowning
Sango rummaged threw her huge purse and gave a sound of accomplishment when she found what she was looking for, in her hands was her rose colored flip phone with gold fake diamond hearts stuck onto the front of it
"Sango I'm notgoing to break it off with him here." Kagome said while shaking her head
Sango then made the cutest sad puppy face so kagome couldn't say no
"Your evil" Kagome said as she snatched the phone from Sango's grasp
With a sigh kagome dialed Kouga's cell phone number
Kouga: hello?
Kagome: hey Kouga, its me
Kouga: Oh hi Kags, what can I do for you?
Kagome: I need to talk to you about something important
Kouga: and what would that be?
Kagome: us
Kouga: us?
Kagome: yes, I need you to listen to me Kouga.
Kouga: okay…
Kagome: Kouga I like you a lot in all and you're a great guy but…
Kouga: Your breaking up with me?
Kagome: Yes Kouga, I'm sorry but this long distance relationship isn't working out and I don't want to hold you back if you find a girl that you like that can actually be there for you.
Kouga: Kagome, You're the only girl for me.
Kagome: You may think that now but we aren't meant for each other
Kouga: maybe you're right…
Kagome: besides I know Ayame likes you
Kouga: fine then Kags, if you think this is for the best…
Kagome: I do
Kouga: I will always be there for you Kagome just call me if you need anything or just want to talk
Kagome: I will.
Kouga: bye
Kagome: Good-bye.
And with that kagome snapped Sango's phone shut
Sniffle
SniffleKagome looked across from her where the noise was coming from and saw Sango actually crying dabbing at her eyes with a napkin
"That was beu-beautiful kagome." Sango said
"Your such a dork." Kagome said while giggling
Inuyasha and Miroku were at the mall sipping on some milkshakes as they sat on a bench and talked
Miroku took a sip out of his milkshake and was the first one to speak
"My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard." Miroku said in a girly voice
"And their like it's better than yours." Inuyasha sang with him
"Damn right it's better than yours." Miroku sang
"I can teach you." Inuyasha sang
"But I have to charge!" Miroku and Inuyasha sang at the same time
"Now that that's over there's something I wanted to ask you." Miroku said
"What's that?" Inuyasha asked
"When are you and Kagome getting together, I mean its been forever." Miroku said
"Me and Kagome are just friends." Inuyasha said with a sigh
"Yeah but you want to be more then that" Miroku said matter of factly
"I guess…" Inuyasha said
"Well then I guess you have to ask her out." Miroku said smirking
"What no way!" Inuyasha shouted as his face turned pink from embarrassment
"If you don't then I will just have to…" Miroku then took out his wallet and pulled out a folded picture that showed Inuyasha sleeping with his arms wrapped around Kagome and her also asleep and oblivious to the whole thing "show this to EVERYONE" Miroku said with a face that totally said I got you now buddy
"You wouldn't!" Inuyasha shouted
"Try me!" Miroku shouted back just as loud
"Why do you want us to go out any way?" Inuyasha asked
"Because your perfect for each other." Miroku said
"Fine but when I do I am getting that picture back" Inuyasha said as he glared at his 'so called' friend
Since it was Saturday and such a hot day Kagome and Sango decided to go to the beach
Kagome was lounging on a beach chair (the kind you can lay out on) watching Sango make a sand castle a couple feet away from her
"Kagome, do you have any mini flags?" Sango asked
"Why would I carry around mini flags?" Kagome asked as she lifted a perfect eyebrow
"Because I need them to finish my sand castle" Sango whined
Sango was wearing a purple halter tankini top and bikini bottoms
Kagome was wearing a black bikini with blue zebra strips and bikini bottoms that were all black and looked like short shorts with a blue belt with black zebra stripes
"Sorry Sango, I don't carry miniature plastic flags with me" Kagome said
"Aww man" Sango said
"Go find some sea shells and use those instead" Kagome said as she closed her eyes and laid back down on her chair
"Fine then get rid of your bestest friend like that" Sango said with mock hurt in her voice as she went to the edge of the water that was quite the ways away from were they left their things
Sango had been gone about five minutes so far when all of a sudden her sun was being blocked but she knew it wasn't Sango blocking it
'Please don't let it be those punk kids that were hitting on me and Sango earlier'
"Fuck off." Kagome said without lifting an eyelid
"Is that any way to treat an old friend?" The manly voice asked
At this point kagome slowly opened her eyes and she saw…
Her old friend Bankotsu
"It's the way I treat creepy people who stare at me without even saying a word." Kagome said while smirking
"I'm hurt that you would even THINK of me as creepy." Bankotsu said
Kagome just then sat up and motioned for Bankotsu to sit in Sango's chair. Bankotsu then sat down and began to talk
"Geez Kagome where have you been all these years?" Bankotsu asked
Kagome and Bankotsu used to date but then he transferred schools and they still hung out but not as much. Kagome was as madly in love you could get with someone at her age back then and found it to herd to say good-bye to him. Bankotsu later found out that kagome left but not where she went and was sadder then mad that she didn't tell him she was leaving
"Here there, everywhere, well except for Japan" Kagome said while smiling
"I missed you Kagome, why didn't you ever tell me what was happening" Bankotsu asked
"It was to hard I guess" Kagome said while frowning
Bankotsu then pulled kagome into a hug and soon after realized that it wasn't just her facial features that have changed over the years; kagome was a woman now
Bankotsu slowly lowered his hand to her butt when all of a sudden
SMACK
Kagome slapped his hand away while glaring at him playfully
"You can't do that, I'm a married women now." She said
Bankotsu just looked at her strangely
"It seemed like the thing to say" Kagome said shrugging her shoulders
Bankotsu just chuckled
"You know Kagome we never officially broke up." Bankotsu said while eyeing his 'ex' girlfriend
"You just want to get in my pants" Kagome said rolling her eyes playfully
She knew that this attitude was typical Bankotsu; the biggest flirt to live
"No not your pants, although…maybe your bikini" Bankotsu said chuckling
Kagome just smacked his arm
At that moment Sango returned and noticed someone was occupying her chair
"Kagome, I'm gone for ten minutes and you replace me for some stranger! I'm offended." Sango said
"Sango this is my ex Bankotsu, Bankotsu this is my best friend Sango" Kagome said
Sango eyed Bankotsu suspiciously
"Kagome, I'm not so sure Inuyasha would like you hanging around with any of your ex boyfriends" Sango said
"Inuyasha, whose he?" Bankotsu asked
"Kagome's boyf-" Sango said before being cut off by kagome's glare
"Kagome, you didn't tell me you had a boyfriend." Bankotsu said
"I don't" Kagome said
"Then who is this Inuyasha guy?" Bankotsu asked
"Just a friend whom Sango is trying to set me up with." Kagome said
"Trying…" Bankotsu mumbled while looking deep in thought
"Then if you're not with any one then, how about you go on a date with me tonight?" Bankotsu asked
"I don't know…" Kagome said
"Please say yes kagome, I'm leaving to go to china in a week to spend the rest of my senior year their." Bankotsu said while sticking out his lower lip
"I didn't know you were the type to beg." Kagome said laughing
"Whatever." Bankotsu said mock glaring
Sango gave kagome a look that said 'what about Inuyasha'
Kagome just glanced at her before answering
"Sure I will go with you." Kagome said
Kagome then took a pen out of her beach bag and wrote her number on Bankotsu's arm
"You might not what to go swimming now if you want that date." Kagome said smirking
Bankotsu rolled his eyes playfully before responding "I will text you with the details, later girls" Bankotsu shouted while walking away
"Kagome what about Inuyasha?" Sango asked worriedly
"What about him?" Kagome asked sounding confused
"Forget it. Do you have feelings for Bankotsu?" Sango asked
"Only friendship feelings oh and I think he's super cute." Kagome said
"Just be careful." Sango said sighing
Somewhere on the outskirts of town in a run down where house building a buff looking man approached someone sitting in a chair at a desk. A shadow was cast over the person's face that was sitting.
"We found it master." The buff man said
"Good." Was the only reply that was heard as two piercing red eyes shown through the darkness
Bankotsu was walking back towards his apartment
'Why did I agree to do this?' Bankotsu thought to himself as he turned a street corner
'Because she left me.' Bankotsu thought
Bankotsu never was the evil type but he needed to get her back from all the sadness she put him threw
'I can't let my emotions get in the way' Bankotsu thought
Inuyasha was so tired from his day with Miroku that the two barley made it into Miroku's house before collapsing onto the couch from exhaustion
'Sleep…' Inuyasha thought as he shut his eyes
Kagome glanced at the text she got and memorized the details
Bankotsu and Kagome were supposed to meet at the pier on the ocean at 9:00
It was 8:45 when kagome was ready and decided to leave. She was wearing a black corset over a white long sleeve shirt and very dark gray tight pants that looked almost black and comfy red platform pumps.
Kagome walked out of her apartment after locking the door and got into her car and headed off towards the pier
Bankotsu was gazing at the stars from the pier and waiting fro kagome to show up as the wind played with his hair
"Hey there stranger." He heard kagome say as he turned around to look at her
"Hey" he said as he looked at her
'I wish I didn't have to do this' Bankotsu thought sadly
"Come on Kagome, we need to get to the carnival" Bankotsu said as he wrapped his arm around her
"Okay." Kagome said happily as the pair walked over to the carnival that wasn't that far from the pier
The carnival looked wonderful at night their was lights strung around it that made the whole place glow and the lights of the booths, games, and rides made it seem almost magical
Bankotsu and Kagome just wondered around for a bit just holding onto each other and talking
"This feels like old times." Bankotsu said
"Yeah" Kagome agreed although this time se didn't have a huge crush on her friend
"Lets go." Kagome said
"What?" Bankotsu asked
"I said let's go." Kagome said
"Why?" Bankotsu asked
"Because I have a great idea and I know this isn't your scene" Kagome said smiling mischievously
"Well you are right about that" Bankotsu responded
"So lets go, by the way were taking your car." Kagome said smiling happily
"Fine." Bankotsu said
"Awesomeness." Kagome said while jumping onto Bankotsu's back
"Why are you riding on my back?" Bankotsu asked while eyeing kagome
"Well I'm certainly not walking all the way back." Kagome said while smiling
Kagome was currently driving Bankotsu's black truck down a deserted highway
"Where are we going Kags?" Bankotsu asked
"You will see just wait." Kagome responded
"Your not going to rape me are you?" Bankotsu asked while smirking
"Nope, well not right now at least" Kagome said winking while watching Bankotsu's smirk fade
Kagome pulled Bankotsu's truck into a nearly deserted parking lot next to a forest and old run down looking building that must have been three stories high
Bankotsu looked around un-easily "please don't hurt me." He whimpered
Kagome rolled her eyes "Read the sign Mr. Tough guy."
"Uncle bobs house of PAIN-ball." he read out loud
"Were playing paint ball?" Bankotsu asked
"Yup." Kagome responded cheerfully grabbing Bankotsu's hand and dragging him inside
Kagome and Bankotsu were wearing camouflage suits over their cloths and kagome was now sporting women's combat boots while Bankotsu kept his sneakers on
"So kagome where do you want to play, the forest or in the wear house?" Bankotsu asked
"Defiantly the forest I want to wear these cool night vision goggles!" Kagome said while putting on her goggles
'I need to find out the information I need before tomorrow' Bankotsu thought sadly he really didn't want to do this any more but he didn't think hecouldn't do this he had one mission
Find kagome's weaknessBankotsu grabbed kagome's hand while smiling and pulled her outside
"Kagome I wa-" Bankotsu started saying before he realized she was gone
SPLAT
Bankotsu looked down to see a bid pink splat of paint on his army suit by his chest
"You're going to get it Kagome!!!" Bankotsu shouted pretending to be angry
"Like you scare me!" Kagome shouted acidently-letting Bankotsu know where she was hiding which was behind a giant tube
"Oh shit!" Kagome muttered as she realized her mistake
SPLAT
Kagome ran off and hid behind a tree and looked at the damage done to her suit
'Not my butt' Kagome thought while also thinking about ways to get Bankotsu back
Kagome peered around the tree and saw Bankotsu looking for her she crouched down real low and aimed for her target
SPLAT
"Owwwwwww!" Bankotsu screeched
'YES I GOT IT!' Kagome thought
There was a big an I mean BIG pink paint stain over Bankotsu's crotch
"Your so dead kagome" Bankotsu grumbled
And this went on and on until both teens were covered from head to toe in paint
Bankotsu was driving to kagome's place because she didn't want to bother with picking her car up
Bankotsu parked outside of the apartment complex
"Come on banky you have to see my place." Kagome said while smiling
"Sure, why not." He responded as he held her hand and walked her up to her apartment
(A/N this still is a Kagome/Inuyasha story so do not worry!)
Kagome unlocked her door and led Bankotsu in
"Nice place kagome." Bankotsu said
"Thanks." Kagome replied smiling
"Come in my room I want to show you something" Kagome said
"Alright"
"Here is some paintings I did in America." kagome said
Bankotsu looked at the paintings that she recently hung on the walls of her room there was three paintings covering each wall except for the wall with the full length mirror. The paintings were really good almost like a photograph that someone took then blew up to proportion. There was the pier, a sakura tree over a bench, and a butterfly sitting on a pink flower with puffy clouds in the background
"But that those aren't the ones I wanted to show you" Kagome said
Bankotsu looked confused
Kagome opened her closet and pulled out a mediumish sized painting
"This is part of the reason why I went to America." Kagome explained
"I had a lot of talent I guess and my mom said I had too."
Bankotsu instantly felt a tiny bit guilty but not as much as he did when a blushing kagome showed him the painting she was holding
"I did this a few weeks into my stay at America" kagome said
The painting was of a picture Miroku took of them when Bankotsu was fifteen and kagome was fourteen,
FLASHBACK
It was a beautiful day outside and Bankotsu and Kagome were talking about whatever came to mind and playing random games
Kagome and Bankotsu were both soaking wet from the water balloon tag they had just played and Bankotsu snuck up on kagome from behind and taped her shoulder
"Wha-" Kagome started to say as she turned around but couldn't finish because Bankotsu's lips covered her own
Kagome had a surprised yet happy look on her face and Bankotsu was smirking into the kiss
END FLASH BACK
And that's exactly what that picture and kagome's painting caught
Bankotsu didn't know what to say 'has she been thinking of me the whole time?' he wondered
"That looks really good kagome." Bankotsu said smiling
"Thanks" she mumbled looking into his eyes as she set her painting next to the bed
'I love his eyes' Kagome thought as she stared at him
Kagome was to busy staring at Bankotsu's eyes to notice him inch further towards her face because within moments his lips were on hers
Kagome was shocked to say the least but that didn't mean she hated it, in fact she kissed him back but with much more force then his as if she was searching for something like the answers to all her problems
Bankotsu was surprised kagome kissed him back he was just sad because he knew they couldn't be together, their lives were headed in much different directions that a relationship wouldn't work out between the two but that didn't mean they couldn't be together if only for a night
Bankotsu guided kagome to her bed as he kissed her but kagome didn't mind at all
"Are you sure about this Kagome?" Bankotsu asked
"Yes." Kagome replied smiling
(A/N sorry no lemon, I share this computer with other people and I can't let them find this O.O but if you bug me enough I shall add it in.)
And that's how Kagome woke up in Bankotsu's
Bankotsu watched kagome slowly open her eyes
"Hey" he said
"Hi" kagome responded
"I guess you really did get in my pants." Kagome said chuckling
Bankotsu just chuckled and kissed her forehead
"You know we can't be together." Kagome said while frowning
She really did like Bankotsu but they weren't soul mates and their lives where headed in different directions
"I know." He replied sighing slightly and began kissing her
Kagome kissed back before stopping him
"Hey! Once is enough." Kagome replied giggling
"Was I to much for you Kagome?" Bankotsu asked
Kagome pretended to not hear him and mumbled to herself "although last time was so short hmm..."
Bankotsu just glared
"Anyways" Kagome said winking "call me before you leave to china so I can stay good-bye"
"I will, promise." Bankotsu said
Bankotsu was in his truck driving home and thinking to himself about the past events
'I can't believe I even thought of betraying kagome, she's such a kind person. But they were Naraku's orders…Oh what do I care I'm leaving Japan so Naraku can just suck it.'
'Naraku says he has found the Tainted jewel and kagome has something to do with it and needed to lure her to his gangs place using her only weakness and I will not let that happen.'
If only Naraku knew that Kagome's weakness was only one thing
