Bankotsu's Bad Day Pt II:

Bankotsu dropped his armor to rest beside him and stared up at the dark clouds gathering in the sky. 'Damnit, of all days, why did it have to be today?'

He stared at the grave before him and grunted. "Of course, the one day I come here it just has to decide to storm." He lifted the sake bowl to his lips and poured a generous amount down his throat.

He sighed as the fiery liquid warmed his belly. He sneezed and dropped the half empty bowl in his lap. "Fuck!" He picked up the bowl and flung in against the heavy gravestone, watching with little satisfaction as it shattered into fragments that dusted him with slivers embedding into his skin.

His teeth ground as he tried to wipe the slivers away. The wind picked up and a thin twin smacked him in the face. He blinked and stared at the twig. "What the hell?" He grabbed it and shredded it with his bare hands and then stood up stomping the tiny pieces into the dirt. "How dare you attack me? You stupid piece of wood!"

Another twig bounced off the back of his shoulder. Bankotsu whirled around and glared at the twig lying on the ground. His nostrils flared. "Why you - " He picked up the twig and ground it into dust in his bare fist. "That will teach you to hit me."

Another, slightly larger twig bounced off his arm. "What the hell is going on here?" He picked up the twig and threw it into a mud puddle, which splashed droplets of mud all over the bottom of his pristine white silk hakamas. He growled and kicked the mud puddle glaring as the mud and water splashed him.

A soft giggle made him freeze and his eyes darted to where the sound originated from. Up in the tree over to his left sat a giggling Kagome with several twigs still in one hand. His eyes narrowed. "You again?" The muscle beside his jaw ticked. "You think that's funny?"

She squeaked as he moved towards the tree she was in. He wrapped his hands around the medium sized trunk and shook it. "Come down here you little brat!"

Her eyes widened and then narrowed. She stood to her feet and planted her hands on her hips. "You don't have to be such an ass about it."

"I'll show you an ass." He shook the tree harder.

"Hey - " Her protest was cut off as she lost her balance and fell backwards. He grinned as she landed on her butt in a large pile of leaves.

"Ow, you jerk!" She glared up at him and tackled him, knocking him to the ground.

His arms wrapped around her waist and he rolled her under him, slapping mud onto her chest. "Like to throw sticks, eh?"

"Oh," she bucked him off and leaped onto his back, squishing mud all over the back of his haori.

He pushed with his arms and twisted his hips, making her fall into the mud as rain fell from the sky.

"Oomph." She picked up handfuls of mud and threw them at him.

"You started this." He smirked and squished mud into her hair.

"Hey!" Kagome yanked his haori open and slapped a handful of mud onto his chest, squishing it around and grinned. "Take that."

"Oh yeah?" He tugged the collar of her shirt and slapped a handful of mud across her chest. "Ha!"

Her eyes narrowed into slits and she yanked his braid sending him falling face first into the mud.

"Hey, no hair pulling!" He sprung up and snagged her by the shoulders. His eyes twinkled and he shoved her into the mud.

They wrestled in the mud not paying any attention to the rain falling down on them.

An hour later he sat up, straddling her waist and grinned triumphantly. "I win."

She slapped his chest. "Get off you oaf."

He snorted and complied. "Someone is a sore loser."

She cleaned the mud off her face. "To think that I actually came here to try and cheer you up... What was I thinking?" She shook her head.

Bankotsu blinked and then raised a brow. "Seriously?"

She huffed and stood to her feet. "Duh!"

He stood to his feet getting right in her face and scowled. "By pelting me with sticks?"

She turned her back to him. "I didn't like seeing you look so gloomy."

His irritation melted away and his heart rate increased. He reached out and turned her around. "Kagome," his voice softened.

She glared at him. "What?"

His mouth descended on hers and one arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her against him. His hand went to the back of her head and he deepened the kiss.

She blinked a few times and then closed hers eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him back.

A few minutes later he pulled back and smiled. "Thank you."

She stared up at him dazed and licked her lips. She nodded.

He smirked. 'She's never looked more beautiful than she does now, even covered in mud and blushing.'
