Chapter 7: Just a Glimpse

"Jak hurry and kill that guy already! I don't want to be here all night!" Bankotsu whispered to his brother urgently. He was already in a piss poor mood after having to cancel his plans with Kagome now he just wanted sulk.

Jakotsu rolled his eyes briefly at his big brothers irritation and silently cursed the woman his brother desired for making him like this. Women were trouble. Plain and simple; and this woman in particular will bring more harm than good to his aniki in the near future. With a scowl he picked up his dagger and plunged it into his victim's chest, twisting it viciously, as he watched the red hot liquid combine and make an ugly black puddle on the floor. Pushing the blade in deeper for good measure he pulled it out slowly, loving the sound of his victims last gasp of air before the body slumped in his chair dead. Jakotsu loved this part of the job, loved it more than anything. He figured out a long time ago that his urge to kill was something that no one could ever change about him. He had a fetish for blood, as he was addicted to tormenting others. It was his calling.

Bankotsu continued to watch his brother as he took the dagger and licked the blood of the victim clean off. He huffed, used to Jakotsu's strange fetish for blood and turned on his heel calling over his shoulder, "When you're finished having a drink have Suikotsu help you dispose of the body. I'm going to go find out what Mukotsu and Ginkotsu are doing with that guys wife." Bankotsu smirked to himself then. His wife was definitely a beauty but she still paled in comparison to his Kagome. 'Dammit why am I still thinking about her?' Shaking his head he headed towards the master bedroom where he knew he'd find his brothers.

Sure enough as he walked down the hall towards the bedroom a woman's scream pierced through the air followed by a loud thump and muffled cries. He snorted, knowing exactly what was happening even before opening the door. Ginkotsu was sitting with his arms crossed in the corner looking on as Mukotsu positioned himself at the woman's entrance. The woman tried to scream for all that she was worth for a release to this torment but he knew it would be in vain. No one would come to her rescue. No one ever did. So he watched as Mukotsu clamped his large glove covered hand over her mouth and used his other to pull out his poison. Bankotsu had seen him use it once before on another female he had wanted and like before he only shook his head as the girl was left immobilized with only her eyes conveying the turmoil she was going through. Briefly, very briefly, he wondered why seeing something so horrifying had no affect on him? Was he that cold blooded that even a womans life meant nothing to him at all?

He heard Mukotsu laugh in satisfaction as he plunged into the frozen woman. Ginkotsu turned his head away, as his brother continued to violate the woman but Bankotsu found that he could not look away. The woman although immobile was crying deeply, pleading with her eyes for Mukotsu to stop but it kept going. Mukotsu was relentless, pounding into her with such force that it made the floor shake. And for one second, one little second he thought of doing such an act to Kagome. Such a pleasurable sinful act and yet it had him aroused in seconds, thinking of her luscious curves, her body writhing underneath him, her screaming his name as he pounding into her over and over again. He was just about to reach into his trousers when a voice stopped him,

"Brother! I hear sirens we have to leave" Ginkotsu all but yelled as he looked to Mukotsu who was sweating and convulsing as he ejaculated into the woman below him. With one last thrust he removed himself from the woman zipped up his pants, pulled out his beretta and shot her right between the eyes before grinning at his brothers,

"I guess her husband didn't give it to her on a daily basis. She was soo tight"

Bankotsu snorted, "Idiot. You say that about every girl you fuck, now come on. Grab the body clean up the blood and lets get the fuck outta here." He growled out. Pulling out his phone he punched a few numbers in before putting it against his ear,

"Kyokotsu how many cops are out there?"

"7 cars, one helicopter, and oh look the S.W.A.T. team. This is new"

Bankotsu grinned, "Good. Tell Renkotsu he can finish the job and move out. I'm going to have a bath"

"Yes brother"

Hanging up the phone, he fixed his jacket, smoothed out his hair and went out to find Kyokotsu waiting for him in the car. "Clean?"

Bankotsu could only nod, "Clean" Even though for the rest of the night he continually had dirty thoughts of him and a certain raven haired girl.

~K~

She had woken up some time during the night with a stomach ache and a throbbing arm. She honestly couldn't remember how she ended up in Sangos guest room but she figured that she fell asleep and was placed there for the night. Touching her upper arms with the tips of her fingers she winced at the stinging sensation but relaxed as it passed the more she touched it. She still couldn't believe that Sesshoumaru actually intended to hurt her. If anything she felt that she had provoked him in doing so...well just a little bit. He still had no right to grab her!

Still, she saw something change within him after he released her. It was barely noticeable, but she saw his eyes switch to that of concern and mild regret. She didn't get a chance to dwell on his ever-changing emotions however, because she didn't want to be near him. She was actually enjoying herself in the company of the infamous "Ice King" and then he turned around and hurt her.

He was confusing.

Sighing, she swung her legs off the bed and crept to the bathroom, in hopes of finding something to soothe her tummy. She stopped in her tracks when she heard the unmistakable sound of glass breaking coming from the kitchen, followed by a feminine curse. Kagome smiled to herself, Sango was never really good with glass, mostly do to the many lecherous acts performed by Miroku, but also because she was a bit of a klutz with them. Swiftly, she alternating her route to that of the kitchen and let her pink lips curve into a smile when she saw Sango sweeping up the remains of the glass. She wore her pink and black jumpsuit her late father had given her when she was but a child.

"Need some help?" She whispered softly. Sango immediately jumped up, hand on her waist as she looked up at the voice that startled her. Noticing that it was her best friend she relaxed and gave a tiny smile,

"No thanks. I think I've got most of it. I should have listened to you and gotten plastic thats for sure."

Kagome giggled, nodding her head, "What are you doing up so late ..err early anyway? It's like 6 am."

Sango shrugged, picking up the array of broken glass in her dustpan and dumping it in the waste basket. She then reached into the refrigerator and grabbed a plastic bottle of apple juice before taking a swig, " 6 am is hardly "early" Kags. Besides, I went for a jog around the block and to the gym for a little bit of training . Miroku and I are going out tonight since we both are off today."

Kagome smirked and crossed her arms, "Aww you guys are so cute! " She sighed and uncrossed her arms before placing her hands on the counter, "Seems like only yesterday, you were screaming to the world how you didn't have a crush on lecherous monk!"

Sango laughed, "That was ages ago kid. Weren't you like 10?"

Kagome pouted, "I was 13! Just because you and Miroku are like ancient doesnt mean you can make fun of me"

"Kagome we're only three years apart" Sango said raising a brow,

"Exactly my point"

Sango shook her head, chugging down the rest of her juice before throwing it the trash can, "How are you feeling?" She asked moving sit beside her best friend. It wasn't everyday that a confused, stoic, and unbelievably handsome taiyoukai hurt Kagome. At least not in this era…

Kagome shifted, moving her eyes to glance at her still red arms, "I'm fine. It just stings a bit when I touch it. No big deal"

Sango frowned, " Kagome it is a big deal! He hurt you!"

"But San-

"There are no buts Kagome!" Sango whispered harshly, trying not to wake her husband, "He shouldn't have put his hands on you at all!"

"I know" Kagome whispered back, eyes downcast, "But you didn't see the way he looked afterwards Sango" Kagome folded her hands together and closed her eyes, "He regretted doing it. I know he did. I saw it in his eyes when he released me"

Sango rolled her eyes, "Just because he regretted doing so doesn't make it right. He could have really hurt you Kagome or worse you could have hurt him! Does he know you're a miko?"

Kagome shook her head, "No"

Sango sighed and hugged her best friend, whom she always thought of as a sister, "I know you that you want to be friends with everyone you meet Kagome, but Sesshoumaru is not a friend that you need in your life. He's a bad demon and I don't want to see you hurt" She pulled back and looked at Kagome, "Okay?"

Kagome looked at Sango, and nodded, "I understand" She loved that Sango was so concerned about her well-being. It made her feel amazing to know that she had such an amazing friend.

"Would you like anything to eat?" Sango asked suddenly, although a bit cautious that Kagome would take heed to what she had said.

Kagome shook her head and rubbed her tummy. "No thank you. I'm going to go rest my stomach is acting up"

Sango's face turned into one of concern for her friend, "What's wrong? Do you need me to wake up Miroku?"

"No, no, I'm fine. I'm just going to take some medicine then I'll be as good as new!." she smiled brightly.

"You can take the medicine and I'll make you something to eat anyway. I know for a fact you haven't eaten anything since yesterday afternoon and you will not go hungry in my house!"

Kagome giggled, "Alright Okaa-san!" She moved out the way when Sango made a move to hit her and stuck her tongue out playfully, "Jeez Go-Go you're such an abusive mommy"

Sango frowned, "Gods! I hate that name. Makes me sound like a stripper or even worse a phrase used by that stupid inspector"

"Inspector Gadget was amazing!" Kagome laughed remember how she had forced Sango to watch Inspector Gadget when she had come to visit her in America. It was an old show, her American friends had told her about, but it was indeed a classic. She absolutely adored the show and was more than eager to have Sango watch it along with her. Unfortunately Sango thought the show to be incredibly stupid.

"Yea you keep telling yourself that kid" Sango said ruffling Kagome's hair playfully before shooing her out the kitchen and to Miroku's medicine cabinet, "He has a lot of herbs and medicine's in the pantry. I'm sure you can find one to soothe your tummy ache until you have eaten"

"Arigatou Sango" She said softly smiling at her best friend before disappearing down the hall to find the medicine, leaving a smiling Sango in her wake.

~IK~

"Seriously InuYasha that is not how it goes"

"Keh! Well if you're so damn smart you put the thing on!"

"It's not rocket science! Do you need to watch a tutorial? Your a guy you're supposed to know how to do this on your own!"

"Thats what fucking clip ons are for! Whoever invented this stupid shit should be stabbed with a fork...repeatedly!"

Kikyo glared at her fiance, "It's just a tie Yasha. How are you a successful business tycoon with no clue how to put on a simple tie!?"

InuYasha threw his hands up, throwing the tie down in the process, "That's right I'm a businessman not a fashion designer!"

She watched with amusement as InuYasha rubbed his temples in frustration, "You are making this more difficult than it has to be!"

InuYasha frowned but did not speak again, because Kikyo had walked forward, picking up the fallen tie.

"Keh. I don't need a tie to go see that fucker anyway. The only thing I need are these, "he spoke holding up both hands, claws extending, "He'll never go near Kagome again."

"Yasha beating your brother-

"Half-brother"

Kikyo huffed, "Half-brother to a pulp won't do anything but make him angry! And it certainly won't help Kagome either."

"Of course it'll help Kagome! She'll never have to worry about that icy bastard coming near her again after I'm done with him!"

Kikyo resisted the urge to smack her forehead. Why did her fiance have to be so darn stubborn? "Fine!Go over there. Kick his butt and all that crud, but you and I both know that if this claim is legit, there is nothing either of us can do to keep him away from Kagome" Her words was soft spoken but firm. She knew that his passion overwhelmed his logical side most of the time and when he finds out that Kagome is what Sesshoumaru...

InuYasha's eyes flashed and he growled low, mumbling curses aimed solely at his brother. "Dammit all!" Instincts be damned! How could the kamis destine his sweet cousin Kagome with his jerk of a half-brother? It couldn't be true! He didn't believe.

"That Fluffy bastard ain't got a mate. Never had and never will especially if it's Kagome" With that last statement he kissed his fiance soundly on the cheek before rushing out to pay his brother a visit.

Kikyo merely shook her head as she watched her love disappear behind the door and sighed softly. Looking up into the heavens she made one last request before she got ready for work,

"Please Kami don't let my foolish mate be killed"
