The Middle-Eastern Campaign

Bankotsu and Kagome were on their knees inside of a dimly lit, sand-floored tent in the middle of an Iraqi military encampment. They were being overseen by two AK-47 wielding Al-Queda extremists when allied mortar fire light up the sky above. The guards quickly exited the tent.

"Kagome, can you reach my knife?" Bankotsu whispered.
"I don't know. I can try though..." She replied in the same shushed tone.

Kagome scooted closer to Bankotsu and tried to find his knife.

"No. I think they took it while we were out." She whispered. Her voice held disappointment.
"Damn those sandniggers...Okay, there's a small nail-file sized knife in my boot. Can you grab it?"
"I think so..."

Kagome slipped the knife out of Bankotsu's boot and into his fingers.

"Alright..." Bankotsu whispered as he sliced away at the zip-tie that bound his wrists. "Got it!" He said as his hands were freed.

Bankotsu stood up and cut Kagome's binding. He lifted her to her feet.

"Come on, we gotta go."

The two slowly crept out and around the tent. Bankotsu held his right hand up, balled into a fist.

"Hold." He whispered.

He slowly advanced on an Al-Queda soldier and held his mouth shut as he drove the file into the terrorist's brain stem. As the body fell limp to the sand, Bankotsu grabbed the AK-47 and a Browning M9 from the body. He tossed the sidearm to Kagome whom caught it and chambered the round.

"On me." He whispered.

As the mortar rounds burst into balls of fire and shrapnel, the duo made their way around the encampment, killing any enemy with precision and silence until they reached an open field. They began sprinting and as they reached a small road they saw vehicles. Tanks and troop carriers. Russians. thousands of them.

"Oh shit, The Russians too? Fuck!"

Bankotsu grabbed Kagome and dragged her into a crater formed by a mortar shell. It was deep and provided excellent cover.

"Kagome, we'll have to stay here until daybreak." Bankotsu whispered, "If anybody else sees us-" He glanced over to Kagome.

She was crying. Bankotsu said nothing more. No more need to be said. He just pulled his comrade close, kissed her, and buried her face in his chest. He held the sobbing girl until dawn.
