Chapter 2: Captivate

Note: Geez, well my boss SangOtaku6 took the first step of the ladder to our story, only problem is can I really do a good job? Who knows?

Warning: Twist in persona means OOC. In addition, many other things.

Damn, his head felt like crap, it was as if someone had lit a dozen firecrackers and had them ignited. He got into a sitting position letting the covers slip a bit. Bankotsu sighed heavily, now it was only a matter of waiting. Wait until this Kagome he had heard her friends call her bloom into an extraordinary priestess.

His plan; have the half-demon's wench prosper fully in her magic abilities, and then have her use these said abilities to lift this accursed burden off him. Until then, he gazed downwards at himself and flushed heavily; he had to wait.

He had never seen a fully nude woman anatomy before, is this what it truly looked like? If it was, he liked it. Grinning mirthfully, he allowed is hand to roam over his newly formed body.

Something shiny gleamed at the corner of his eyes, as he turned, he saw a large yellow bag, it was not like any other bag he had seen before; this bag was very fluorescent, it had features he had never seen before, two straps and large quantitative amount of pockets. However, what had caught his attention was a peculiar looking object.

Getting up, he winced at the protest of his body; he was still recuperating from his recent injuries. His curiosity however was at large, and he intended to find out what the object was, he ignored the backstabbing pain and made his way over to the large yellow bag before taking a long pinkish looking trinket from one of the opened pockets. He rolled the object within his right hand, wondering what it was. It was flat, rectangular shaped and it seemed to glow radiantly contrasting with the sunlight.

His eyebrows furrowed curiously, as his thumb brushed upon a jagged spot. Looking, he noticed that two pinpoints matched oppositely; definitely, an object he can open. He used his index and thumb digit to flick the object open, what he saw made him furrow his eyebrows some more. The items contained three sockets with different coloured powder and a tiny brush near the fold, one side of the item held a square glass where his reflection showed.

A unique trinket Bankotsu thought as he manoeuvred the glass in each position looking at his newly formed body. He was still the same height, his body, thinner and curvier. He poked at the two large clumps of flesh attached to his chest and groaned loudly. No more chest, just breasts. He brought the object to his face. He had long lashes, long raven hair and pouty lush lips. Overall, his face was completely feminine and he bit back a sigh. He also noted the bandages wrapped around his torso covering his belly button, and circulated around his wrists, a lone white bandage was centred on his forehead where it covered his trademark.

"Kagome, I want ye to focus and concentrate your powers to make this bucket filled with water levitate." Bankotsu heard the old woman instructed. He snapped the item shut and placed it back into the pocket, he turned and made his way back to his spot and lay down again. He brought the cover to his chest and laid there eyeing the ceiling with loath.

Once he has returned to his former self, he will personally kill the smutty ghost. He may even pull a Jakotsu and resent liking girls; this is an experience he wanted out.

"Damn you wretch, once I see you again I'll pulverize you." Bankotsu yelled slamming his fist against the floor. A loud clatter outside followed by a shriek told him that Kagome had dropped the bucket of water.

"Are you alright Kagome?" He heard the old woman say.

"I am alright, but I could have sworn I heard someone yelled from inside your hut." Kagome replied. Bankotsu squeaked hard feeling himself go red, he had not meant for those words to be voiced loud. "Hang on Kaede; let me check to see if Yuu is okay." Bankotsu heard a grunt before the flaps to the hut rattled. He closed his eyes immediately and faked sleep.

He heard Kagome enter the hut but dared not to open his eyes. With acute sense of hearing, Bankotsu made out the soft movements of Kagome, she had crept on over to him. There was silence for a few minutes; his hand began to sweat as he noted the stuffy blanket, and his forehead he felt was beginning to sweat to. However something cool placed itself on his cheek, which then made its way to his forehead feeling the dampness.

"You poor dear, you seem to have a fever as well." He heard Kagome said. Bankotsu was about to open his eyes and shout a response when he felt Kagome's fingers brushed his hair. "Lucky, how on earth do you keep your hair so soft? I can't even bring my hair close to yours. Hmm, I wonder why you have a sacred jewel shard in your neck though." he heard Kagome said lowly. His inside ran cold; does she know it was him? His nerves left him as he listened to Kagome's movements for a few seconds before something wet was placed on his forehead; something cold. "There you go now rest up." With that, he heard the girl leave.

Hearing the rustle of the flaps, he opened his eyes. Once again alone, he took the cloth from his forehead and placed it to the side of his makeshift futon. "Fucking sweaty blankets." Bankotsu cussed as he tore the covers away. In his nude form, he sat up and remained in the position as he began to meld things over.

He had no one to turn to, his clan had shunned him; almost killing him is more like it, Naraku doesn't know about his predicament so he can't go to him. The only company he could remain with is here with Inuyasha. Plus he could use the girl Kagome to lift his burden when her powers manifest. He doesn't have his prized Banryu because he had dropped it in the midst of battle when his so called friends bombarded him and even if he did, this bony body does not have the strength to carry it; what a dilemma. He found a large looking cloth near the futon and delicately wrapped it around his torso, if he were to be found awake; he would have at least something covering.

He wondered how long he had to stay in this form. It's not everyday someone gets turned into a female. An unfamiliar sense bubbled within his chest, was this nervousness or fear? In his prior form, he would never experience such emotions, okay maybe the time when his whole group had been slaughtered but still this was different. He was alone with the enemies.

Bankotsu was snapped from his inner turmoil when something loud reverberated. "Get your hands away from me you lecherous monk!" He heard a loud voice said. His head turned towards the commotion from outside.

"I am only checking to see if you had received any injuries from our battle with the thunder demon." Bankotsu heard a guy say.

"Not necessary thank you." He heard the woman yell.

"Probably some stupid person jacking her up. " Bankotsu said amusedly. However, something struck him, his eyes widened as he remembered the earlier events. "Bear him a child? Strong son?" Bankotsu worded out. "What the fuck? Now I remember that idiot, he's that monk Naraku told me about, the one with the wind tunnel!" Bankotsu pursed his lips; he didn't like this at all.

For now, he had to play it safe. He can't risk having the Inuyasha groupie know who he was, sure he had his old clothing, but he didn't seem to think that Inuyasha recognized him. As much as he hated this, he had to deal with it.

"Will you guys keep it down? Yuu is recuperating inside." He heard Kagome say. Having had enough, he got up ignoring the many protests his body was making and made his way over to the hut's flap. He held the cloth close to his body, making sure his breasts and area were covered. He brushed the flaps away and stepped aside, the first thing he noted was the setting of the sun; must be near dawn.

A voice to his left yelled. "Yuu! You shouldn't be up; you might open up a wound or two." It was Kagome, she and her friends were running towards him from their practise arena down the hill. Bankotsu huffed indignantly.

"I heal fast, so don't worry about me." The group stopped in front of him, Bankotsu inhaled a sharp breath before looking around. Kagome with the weird outfit she wore, Inuyasha stood behind her with his arms crossed, the demon slayer to the right of him holding her giant boomerang and the monk to the left of Kagome the little fox demon rested upon Kagome's shoulder and the two tailed fire cat on the demon slayer's shoulder. The old priestess he had noted earlier before he fainted was sidling up to where the group was. However, Bankotsu's eyes narrowed as he saw the monk stare at his almost nude form.

Kagome sighed exasperatedly before drawing one of her hand out to push Yuu gently inside. The woman merely glared at her for the gesture but allowed herself to be shoved in.

Inside; the group sat themselves on the ground facing Yuu. Bankotsu nervously eyed everyone, he never had this much attention drawn to himself before; he really wished that they would look at something else.

"Do I have something stuck on my face? Why the hell is everyone looking at me?" He yelled in his girly voice. He watched as the group eyed each other, Bankotsu's inside seemed to have a meltdown. 'What where they conversing about? Did they know it was truly him?'

"You don't have anything stuck on your face, but I do like your face." Miroku cooed as he knelt before Yuu with her hands clasped in his. "Remember earlier when I asked you to bear me a strong child, would you?" Miroku asked innocently.

Bankotsu sweat dropped heavily. Taking his right hand, he swung forward slapping the monk around the face. Miroku staggered backwards, the group eyed them with amusement. Face contorted into rage he started to yell. "Man, you're too fucked up in the head stupid prick. I am not a girl!" Bankotsu yelled. He immediately covered his mouth with his hand and laughed nervously. Seeing everyone give him an incredulous look he began to grow frantic. 'Shit… now what should I do?' a plan suddenly formed in his head.

"What do you mean you're not a girl?" Inuyasha asked an eyebrow arched.

"I mean…uh… erm… I like girls!" Bankotsu yelled before a huge flush coated his cheeks. Everyone gaped at him; Miroku disappointedly withdrew his hand, Sango twitched uncomfortably in her position, Inuyasha gave him a dirty look and Kagome was unreadable. Well it was true, he did like girls; but in this state, the statement was totally wrong.

"You like girls?" Shippo asked innocently, "Is that a good thing?" Bankotsu nearly died on the spot; a mere child questioning his sexuality. "I always thought girls always like boys." He turned to Kagome who watched amusedly. "Kagome, don't girls like boys?"

It was Kagome's turn to flush. "That is true Shippo; however, sometimes it is even possible for girls to like their kind and the same goes for boys. Take Jakotsu for example." Kagome softly explained. At the mention of his best friend, Bankotsu started to laugh.

"Yeah, that Jakotsu is real gay; he loathes any person who has two clumps of flesh that isn't chests." Bankotsu chuckled, but due to his ladylike voice; the sound came out more as a giggle. Again everyone stared at him as if he grew another head. Realizing what he had said, he covered his mouth with a hand and giggled shrilly. "Oh don't mind me, my head bashed against something hard with the fight against the band of seven; I am blabbing about ridiculous things, that is why you found me unconscious." Bankotsu squeaked. Inside however, he was dying from humiliation; his manhood was being destroyed by this bimbo form of his.

Kagome's expression softened and she reached a hand out and patted him on the arm. "Poor you, well whatever had caused the band of seven to attack you, you'll be safe with us."

"You've got to be joking aren't you? We are babysitting this slut?" Inuyasha asked horrendously. Bankotsu's eyebrow twitched irritated by the half-demon's behaviour.

"Well, Yuu does need to recuperate her strength; and she can't wander in this condition." Kagome said slowly. Bankotsu felt a rush of gratitude for the girl. Bankotsu stared down when someone tugged at his towel. He felt kind of embarrassed wearing such low vanity but he had no other clothing. Shippo stared up at him with curious eyes.

"Do you really like girls only?" Shippo asked. Kagome and Sango giggled at Shippo while as Inuyasha fumed and Miroku sighed dejectedly. Bankotsu felt a stab of annoyance, 'was this kid deaf or something? He had clearly said he did like girls.'

"Look kid, I know for a kid your age this is something you can't conceive; but I do like girls, I love them. Here I will demonstrate." Bankotsu felt like an idiot for saying such nonsense, but he had to connive everyone with his demonstration. "To prove I hate guys…" Bankotsu walked up to Inuyasha, using one hand to securely hold the towel, he used his other hand to gently caress Inuyasha's cheek; his inside bubbling with disgust and revulsion. Inuyasha at the while flushed deeply while everyone looked on with amusement. Disgusted and revolted, Bankotsu slapped Inuyasha's face hard and turned to Shippo who laughed. "There you go shrimp, a pure guy hater."

'Serves the idiot right for calling me a slut.' Bankotsu smirked.

Stunned and angry, Inuyasha made for Bankotsu. "You whore, you're going to pay." He raised a fist; Bankotsu got into a defensive position, he didn't know if this form could block Inuyasha's blow.

"Inuyasha Sit boy!" Bankotsu watched with amusement as the beads around Inuyasha's neck glowed a bright purple before bringing him crashing down to the floor. Relaxing his posture, he crossed his arms across his breasts and watched with interest. Such a perfect picture he thought to himself as the half demon in front of him was sprawled deformedly.

"Shame on you for raising a fist to a girl." Kagome screeched as she levelled herself next to Yuu. "This girl had been through enough, it is true that her origin is not known, but we can spend the time to get to know her." Kagome said; her face red with anger.

"Hmmm, Lady Kagome never gets this mad when it involves someone else." Miroku softly said to Sango who nodded her head. Shippo giggled softly as Inuyasha grumbled an incoherent response.

Bankotsu had to admit, when women gets mad; they really are scary. His expression may have not shown it, but inside, he gulped nervously. He twitched a bit when Kagome rounded on him.

"Yuu, it is amazing that you can stand after the numerous of injuries that was inflicted upon you. I am also surprised that you even did that to Inuyasha; hilarious but dangerous considering the fact that Inuyasha wanted to pulverize you." Kagome softly scolded. Bankotsu bristled, he maybe stuck in this atrocious form; but there is no ways in hell will he let the half-demon succumb to his success.

Nerves began to rack his insides as the memory of becoming a man flooded. How could he have forgotten for a brief nanosecond the cruel reality of his fate. Mustering up a forced smile he nodded at Kagome.

"I understand uh Kagome, I shall take note of it for future reference. Anyways, while I was down I couldn't help but overhear your training session with this old priestess; how fair your process?" Bankotsu asked in sweet voice. 'Hell, he'll have to play the solidified damsel but not in the distress type of way; the damsel who can kick ass.' Squelching down his 'fears' he will try to cope; if not one hundred percent; then a fair amount over this ordeal.

"It is actually coming along greatly Yuu! Thanks for asking. I am not a certified priestess, but it is getting there." Kagome smiled benignly. Bankotsu nodded his head.

'Good,' he sneered inwardly.

Kagome stretched her arms, a gesture which made Bankotsu stare. This girl, she was so unique. In this place, he never saw any of the females make such a ridiculous movement, but here this girl acted as if she was some freeloader. 'Interesting.'

He watched with curious eyes as the girl grimaced at something. She stretched her right arm and took a whiff at her armpits and blanched. He giggled softly at this. This laughter horrified him.

"Phew, I stink. I think I am going to head to the lake to take a bath, want to come Sango?" Kagome asked as she began to rummage within her yellow backpack. Bankotsu watched with lack of interest as Kagome pulled a yellow towel out along with other items he had never seen before. There was this white chunk of rock that gave off a nice scent, a bottle of clear green liquid that was foamy near the top and another bottle of white liquid that was thick looking. He watched as the other girl; Sango, nodded her head before taking the towel that Kagome passed her. He watched as Kagome turned to him.

"You want to join us?" She asked politely. He hesitated giving the two girls a brush over. He noted Shippo was perched on Kagome's shoulder and the two tailed yellow cat on Sango's.

He guess it wouldn't hurt. Nodding his head, he accepted the purple towel that Kagome handed him.

"I'll lend you some of my clothing for the time being. Here, wear these for now, it's a bit dirty but I will give you cleaner clothes after our wash." Kagome said before handing Yuu a mustard coloured t-shirt and brown shorts. He blinked with surprise before slipping the outfit on. Kagome had to hold the towel when he slipped the shorts on.

"No peeking you two." Sango cautioned as she shouldered her giant boomerang. Inuyasha 'fehed' and Miroku returned with an 'I am innocent' look. Sango wearily glared at Miroku before exiting the hut first. Kagome grinned sheepishly before following. Bankotsu smirked and followed suit.

The three trudged for a few minutes along the winding road to the lake. Throughout the walk, they remained silent until the bluish radiant glow of the water came before them. Kagome sighed at the quiet evening sky, nothing seemed to stir. She shed her dirty clothing. Bankotsu couldn't help it; he gawked at Kagome's flawless looking skin; his eyes taking in every detail of her body.

"You really do like girls huh?" Sango quietly whispered nudging him in the rib. Bankotsu squeaked loudly before rounding on Sango glaring her in the face whom in return gave him a cool look.

"So what if I do like girls." Bankotsu blushed. Sango smirked and said nothing more. He watched as she stripped herself of her clothing and wrapped the towel that Kagome gave her around her chest. The two girls waded into the lake and perched themselves amongst two boulder like rocks. He suddenly felt shy, didn't know why but all of a sudden he was self conscious. He eyed Shippo who floated on the water, he watched Kirara sleep contently on Sango's shoulder.

"Hey Yuu aren't you coming in? The water is good!" Kagome bellowed. Bankotsu sighed and relieved himself of his clothing. Wrapping the purple towel tightly around his chest he dumped the clothing Kagome gave him on the pile that the other two left and waded into the lake. He sat beside Kagome on a slanted rock and stared nervously at the two. Sango gave him a snide expression which he wanted to punch so badly but refrained and Kagome sighed beside him. The water soothed his aching body all over, he sighed with contentment.

"Almost night, I love the tranquility here." Kagome said as she scooped a handful of water and brought it to her face. Bankotsu watched as Kagome's reflection stared back up at her; her face eerie pale. He didn't know why, but such a picture calmed him, despite his womanhood stage. He turned to Sango and scowled faintly at her since she was smirking hard.

"I am sorry Sango, but do I have something stuck on my face? You seemed to have such an attraction to it." Bankotsu said sweetly. Sango heavily flushed before looking away and muttered something. "I am sorry, but I didn't quite catch that." Bankotsu smirked.

"Nothing, I am just muttering how nice your hair looks like." Sango innocently replied.

Bankotsu smirked again; despite being female, he had to glow at the compliment. "I know, mine is shiny and yours, well it is unkempt." Bankotsu sneered.

Sango bristled, "Psh, I take it back, your hair looks like it had been coated in grease, no wonder the band of seven wanted to get rid of you." Sango shot back. Bankotsu's inside burst with a surge of adrenalin; a challenge.

"At least my hair is shiny, your state of fashion is so masculine." Bankotsu jeered as he shrugged his shoulders. He watched the brunette's expression hit annoyance.

"What? How does this tie into our debate? I could have sworn we were talking about our hair." Sango said. "But fine, I rather have a masculine features then be a dumb broad who attracts men to have sex with." Sango smiled cynically. "Oh wait, I forgot, you like women; I guess it really doesn't matter since you don't have such sign saying that."

Bankotsu boiled with anger. "Do I sense jealousy? At least I can get laid multiple times then just wallop there and have no one. I guess that perverted monk who I can guess ask any random women to bare his child that are pretty. I haven't heard him say such thing to you."

Sango opened her mouth to retort but Kagome extended her hand out cutting her.

"Enough with this pointless argument. Yuu you're hurt and wounded so I am astounded that you can still make a comeback, but still Miroku had indeed asked Sango to bare his child only when the whole ordeal with Naraku is over so please refrain from talking about Miroku. Sango, this must have been hard on Yuu, so please refrain from talking about being a slut. We have no idea what kind of background Yuu has." Kagome scolded.

Sango sighed dejectedly and stopped before folding her arms across her towel. Bankotsu scowled but remained silent. Another disadvantage in this form of his, in his old body he would have slaughtered any who dared oppose him. Yet fate had a thing for him; bad karma.

"Anyways, while we are on the subject about 'boys,' lets talk about them." Kagome giggled softly as she lowered herself deeper into the water. Sango smiled and nodded her head while as Bankotsu blushed heavily and turned away. "Lets start with our good friend Inuyasha. Nice fellow, I think not could use a good instructor or two for his rude behaviours but overall quite a looker." Kagome grinned.

"My opinion, you can do better Kagome, that guy has Kikyo written all over his face. He'll definitely choose such girl over you. However, I will admit tidily that he is nice looking. "What do you think Yuu, I know you hate guys, but pretend you like them, what would you say about Inuyasha?"

Bankotsu blushed hard. He had never been asked such questions; well maybe Jakotsu would ask him, but he would never answer. He racked his brain hard and thought about the things Jakotsu might say in such predicament.

"Well?"

"Errr……uh….. Hmmmm, I would say he is handsome and sexy!" Bankotsu said loudly giving the two girls a wink and a thumb up. 'Stupid gossiping bitches, makes me want to hurl. Maybe I should take a leaf out of Jakotsu's book and start bashing on women.' he thought about it for a few more second before shaking his head. 'Nah, I liked them breasts.' he was so absorbed in his mental state that he failed to notice the two ladies giving him awkward looks. He only turned when only silence progressed. "What?"

"You sound exactly like Jakotsu Yuu, it is so freaky since he said the very exact thing to Miroku." Kagome said. Bankotsu flushed heavily, it was true, he had heard his best friend say the exact thing as well to the Priest whom he murdered.

"Uhhhhh, oh fuck…" Since he had nothing to say.

"Kagome, what doe fuck mean?" He heard Shippo ask.

'Double fuck.' As he saw Kagome's face contort into anger.

Chapter two finished.
