This is where Bankotsu starts to realize his feelings for a certain taijiya! YAY!
Chapter 3: A Second Glance
Sango sighed as she sank deeper into the hot springs. She was still trying to figure out why Kagome did this. What would those guys see in her anyways?
She looked down into her reflection. She wasn't that pretty, was she? "What makes Kagome think that even my enemies would fight over me? They wouldn't even take a second glance at me!"
She suddenly chuckled in amusement at her self. Look at me! I'm… talking to myself! She hugged her knees for a while and then dunked herself underwater.
She stayed under there for a long time, until she finally came up.
The first thing she saw was someone at the edge of the hot spring, staring at her. She shrieked, making the person jump back startled.
Bankotsu walked through the forest, annoyed. "Why did I even come here? I don't need a girlfriend! Especially not her!"
He froze suddenly. He should have left, and not stayed. It would be an invasion of privacy, but his feet were planted to the spot.
There she was, only her head was surfaced above the water. Her eyes were closed and she seemed to be relieving her stress, most likely from the whole bachelorette thing.
He had never noticed before, but she was actually kind of… attractive. Wait, what am I saying? She's my enemy! But even though he tried to deny it, he couldn't help but admire her.
He watched as she dunked herself underwater. After what seemed like too long of underwater time, Bankotsu frowned slightly and walked over to the edge of the springs.
He forgot about a woman's insecurity (and his own) and peered down into the water, wondering how she could stay underwater for so long.
She caught him by surprise when she finally emerged to the surface. She took one look at him and screamed. He fell back, startled and took off into the forest.
He hid behind a tree, hoping she didn't recognize him. He probably looked like a complete idiot-
Wait.
What would he care what she thought? It's not like he had any feelings for her, so it wouldn't matter what she thought… right?
He wanted to look back, just to see if she was looking over in his direction. No! Bad! You don't care! He scolded himself, although he knew it would do know good.
He knew his feelings for the taijiya.
He knew that she was going to kill him for spying on her.
And he also knew…
That she would never give him a second glance.
And so it begins! Sorry it's so short. I'll update as soon asI can! R&R please!
