Here's a longer chapter for ya'll. 3 Thanks as always for reading and reviewing. I'll have to get lots of reviews or I'll have to put of updating for a while. (; Xo.

-Silver Mist

Kagome felt a sheen of sweat coat her forehead. Her knuckles were white from gripping the steering wheel so tightly and she felt like her chicken was going to make a reappearance.

She shivered when her captors fingers brush back the long ebony tresses that had fallen over her right shoulder. "You're a pretty girl but," He glanced over her attire, "You're not particularly rich or well known. I wonder what the boss wants with you."

Once they were at the edge of town, on a more desolate highway, she sneaked a peak at him. He wore a white t-shirt and his hair was pulled back in a long, thick braid. He had black hair and tan skin; however, she wasn't sure about the color of his eyes. The most striking thing about him was a purple four-pointed tattoo that was positioned on the middle of his forehead.

"So, what's your name?" She wasn't sure why she was talking to this criminal but she always babbled when she was nervous.

"Bankotsu." He replied, clearly not worried about her knowing his identity. 'Wait, isn't that a bad thing? He's gonna kill me. He's going to ditch me on the side of the road.'

"Take a left." She turned obediently.

She caught him sniffing her curiously. "Um, excuse me. What are you doing?"

"You smell like someone I used to know." He replied vaguely.

"Now take a right and stop by that building." She turned in next to the old shack and took the keys out of the ignition. He exited the car, and was instantly on her side. She placed the keys between the fingers on her right hand. He opened her car door and grabbed her left arm. "Come on. This way."

She gritted her teeth. 'It's now or never.' She went for the eyes but Bankotsu was tall and she only managed to cut his cheek. He let out a howl in pain and she bolted. He tackled her 50 yards down. "Fast and sassy." He grinned, a thin trail of blood trailed down his cheek. "In case you haven't noticed we are an hour away from town, not to mention I'm faster and stronger than you." Kagome felt tears start to form. She blinked, 'No, I refuse to cry. I have to think of a plan.'

Bankotsu was on top of her now. His knees spread apart and resting on either side of her hips. His calloused hands were pinning his wrists down. She could see his strong, lean muscles rippling, and his cobalt eyes.

"Bankotsu?"

"What?" His dilated pupils scanned over entire face and he leaned foreword curiously.

She closed the space between him, his grip tightened but he didn't stop her. She smirked against his kiss. His hold loosened as her kiss deepened. "Bankotsu?" She let out dreamily separating herself from him.

"Yes?" He asked almost incredulously.

"Go to hell." She kneed him in the crotch, he rolled over in pain. She dashed to the car and had just opened the door when he grabbed her from behind and pulled her back. She flew ten feet back and rolled when she hit the ground. Knocking the wind out of her lungs but leaving her conscience. Bankotsu went into the shed for something. Kagome didn't bother to try running, she knew escape wasn't possible at this point. He returned her and flipped her on her stomach. He grabbed some rope and tied her wrist behind her back. Carrying her bridal style he made his way to the shed, kicking the door back open with his left foot. He placed her on the chair. She kept her head down. He lowered his face to hers and smirked, "Good night, sweetheart." He gave her a quick peck on the lips and locked the door behind him.

She heard him find her keys, which she had lost in the struggle, the sound of her car door slamming, the starting of the engine. The loud crickets did little to cover the sound of her car driving away. She looked around the dingy shed: no food, no water, no way to escape. She fumbled with the ropes a bit before feeling herself nod off. 'Inuyasha will save me.' She wasn't sure why she thought that he would, but she was sure of it. She smiled weakly, and held onto the thought. 'Inuyasha will find me.'

Kagome woke to the crunching sound of a car pulling in. She blinked a few times, adjusting to the dim lighting in the room. A strip of light now shone uncomfortably in her eyes. The worn handle jiggled and Bankotsu walked in.

He placed a bag of donuts and two cups of coffee on the old, square table.

He reached over and undid the ropes and handcuffed her left wrist. Then he pulled up a chair and slid the coffee over and donuts over.

"One glazed, one creme filled, and a caramel mocha with a shot of expresso."

Kagome smiled weakly, stiff from sitting too long, "Thanks."

He shrugged, the wound on his cheek already almost completely healed.

She took a sip of her coffee and a bite of her glazed donut. Her eyes widened as she recognized their origins.

"You got this at my favorite coffee shop." She narrowed her eyes accusingly, "You even got the shot of expresso right."

Again Bankotsu shrugged, "You're daily routine is pretty uniform. You go to Kaede's Coffee Shop at least once every week: on Wednesday.

Kagome's mind raced, was she really that predictable? She sighed, that coffee was what got her through the week.

"What else do you know about me?" She asked, curiosity shining in her warm eyes.

"Everything there is to know." Kagome gulped. "Well, it's obvious that I'm just your typical college student." She snapped, "So what do you want with me?"

He sighed, clearly annoyed with all the questions. "You done with that?" He asked, pointing towards her creme filled donut.

"Yeah." She sighed, placing a finger on her right temple, "Now answer the question."

"I already told you, I don't know what he wants with you. I get a job. I do the job. I get paid. That's it."

She sighed in frustration. He glance curiously at her features. Gone was the scared confused Kagome. She was just pissed at this point. She wanted answers, and more importantly a hot shower.

"So," she tapped her fingers impatiently, "How long until I get out of here. I need a shower." She fanned herself to add emphasis. He smirked and began to open his mouth but thought better of it when Kagome began to mentally throw daggers at him. He closed it and recalibrated what he was going to say.

"Not sure. I'll get a call."

Kagome mentally groaned and placed her porcelain forehead on the table, she didn't even care how dirty it was anymore.

The moment her forehead rested on the wood, a sharp ringtone broke the silence.

"Be right back." He mumbled, flipping the phone open and shutting the door behind him.

She looked at her watch. 11 o'clock.

She bit her lip. 'What will Inuyasha do when he finds I'm not home? I'm sure he'll notify the policy.' She thought happily, 'If Sango hasn't already.'

The door slammed behind Bankotsu when he entered.

"Time to go." He said roughly, unlocking her wrist.

Her eyebrow raised in surprise, "Not gonna tie me up?"

He grinned, "I could if you'd like, but we both know you can't escape me."

Kagome shook her head, and followed him. She glanced at the vehicle in front of her: a black corvette.

He tossed her the keys, "Follow my instructions." He pulled out a freshly sharpened pocket knife, "And you might make it out of this alive."
