Chapter 11
Yes, my angel is back, but something is wrong
Black, cold silver moon
tonight alone in my room
you were here just yesterday
Bankotsu was burning a hole in his room's ceiling, he couldn't believe it,
'She's back; she forgave me, after all the shit I've done to her, she still-'
'Whoever said she did? She never said she forgave you.'
'I take it, I should apologize?'
'Uh, duh?'
Bankotsu was remembering the times he wasted, the time he could have made a better relationship with her. Oh how he wanted to turn back time, to try and change everything. But no, he knew even if he was given a second chance, he would still screw it up, somewhere along the way. He hated it all! The way he thought of such perverted thoughts about her, a pure innocent miko.
Why did he treat her like bullshit again? If memory serves right, before she brought him back, he acted cocky around her; he even joked around while they were in the cave. When did he start being an ass? Oh yeah... when she saw that all-too-real flashback of his. He was sure that she saw that, Suikotsu saw something and so did Jakotsu. Why not him right?
She wasn't supposed to see that. He didn't want her to; he knew that protecting his sadistic image wasn't the reason. It was something else, but he couldn't figure it out now; maybe some other time. ( A.N. I 'll tell you on later chaps! I promise!)
He looked up as he recalled their encounter in the cave, he only noticed now that there was a glint in her eyes on that moment; true concern shined through them. He wondered, on how such a kind-hearted, sweet, innocent woman could have cared about him; a cold-hearted, sex-crazed, antagonistic, sadistic killer. It just didn't make sense.
Did she really find time to think about him, and what he wanted with his life? He didn't know, she was confusing him, but half of him was thankful for that. He feared that the reason she was being so kind was brought forth by her own selfish reasons; but he knew her better than that. Even if they only stayed together for a few days, even though they never had a real conversation, he knew how she was. She was honest with everything.
After that thought, another thought slipped in his mind.
Yeah, honest, then it wasn't a lie; what she said on that day; on their first day. He remembered how she said it, those words that were able to crush him on the inside, he remembered her face when she said it. When she said she regretted it, bringing him back. That hurt the most, but of course during the time, he never felt what he was feeling now. Maybe because he didn't know what she sacrificed for him? She sacrificed her life span for him, he never knew someone would do that for him, he didn't deserve such an angel.
But did she still regret it? That was another thing he didn't know, but he wanted to find out. If she still did, he would strive to fix it; he would make her feel that what she did wasn't a waste- he would show her that she didn't make a mistake.
Then he remembered her hands, when she fixed Jakotsuou, she did it for him. He had a hunch why she did; she did it to prove herself to him. He huffed at the thought, she didn't need to prove anything to him, and at the time even if she slit her own throat; he wouldn't be affected too much. But now, if he let her die, he would go insane; he wouldn't be able to take it.
What did this girl do to him? He knew what; she showed him true love, true forgiveness, true concern. But he didn't give it any importance; instead he slapped it back to her face. He regretted that, everything he did, he regretted come to think of it. He never regretted anything in his life, except this...
His mind wondered as to why this girl affected him like this. He didn't love her, did he? No, he couldn't love, he could care yes, but love… that was far from reality. But was it possible that love surpassed reality?
Then it hit him. He could love her! He only trusted those who cared for him, and then he would care for them in return. But he would never show concern; no he was too macho for that.
But Kagome cared for him, even from a distance she cared. What more if they were together, in love, what would her care be like then? Hi s heart froze when he thought of a possible answer.
She would die for him that was very likely. She already threw away half her life for his happiness alone, even though they had no connection what so ever; what more would she sacrifice for him if they had?! What if he was dying and her life would be the only way to save him?! Would she give it away?! She would do it, and he knew it.
All the more reason for him to avoid this little thing called 'love'
But a part of him wanted to give in to love, this feeling said that if she really loves you, she wouldn't let you be lonely and she would know that ending her life; would be the most possible cause for his depression. What if she loved me enough to hurt me, just to keep me alive? She would go to heaven if they died now, at this very moment, but he wouldn't and he doubted hell would allow him to visit her in heaven.
She would die to let him live and straighten up his life and right all his wrong, so that he can go to heaven and they could be together.
That is, if there was heaven... what if after death, there was nothing? What then?
Would you know my name?
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same?
If I saw you in heaven?
Bankotsu shook his head in frustration, his head hurt from all the thinking. He never used his brain for thinking that much about girls.
'Bottom line is I'll take care of her. It's my instinct.' He cared for the girl, after all, it's the least he could do in return.
It was dusk, the sun was setting, and it's been almost a day since their unexpected reunion. The thing is, he hasn't spoken a word to her; he was strong on the outside, but when it came to women, not whore women, real women, he simply sucked at it.
He couldn't drag himself out there without a strategy; being a mercenary he needed a battle plan. He thought deeply, concentrating when someone knocked on his door. 'I'll wait until she is asleep' Luck was on his side tonight.
"Aniki, she's asleep." came Suikotsu's calm voice. Bankotsu threw him a look that said 'thanks' and stood up.
"Where are you going Aniki?"
"..." no answer, he just kept walking. When he was sure he was out of his brother's view, he paced like hell to get to Kagome's room.
The hallway seemed endless for Bankotsu; he really REALLY needed to see her. After what seemed like forever, he faced the door, and inhaled deeply.
"May whoever it is powerful up there, be with me." After saying this, he regretted it and immediately he rolled his eyes, thinking pathetically of himself to ask aid from someone he cannot see.
"Pft, pathetic," He huffed and opened the door.
There she was, sleeping all angelic like. He dragged a chair and placed it on the side of her futon. He watched her chest rise and sink as she breathed. She looked so peaceful.
"Kagome," He murmured, taking her hand. He placed it on his cheek as he spoke.
"Kagome, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have let you leave. I shouldn't have been so damn selfish," He was going to say something else but was cut short when she stirred in her sleep.
He got really surprised when she giggled. He smirked and thought she was dreaming about him. But his smirk molded into a frown when she murmured a name.
"Hiten, stop!" He stood up and looked away. 'Who the fuck is Hiten?!' He didn't know.
Could it be that someone got to her first? No, it was not her fault if she found someone else to love. It was his, for being such a stuck up asshole.
'Even if she loves another, I will still stay with her, even as a friend.'
'A friend with benefits?' His perverted side butted in.
'Go away!' He spat.
His face lit up when he heard her speak again.
"Ban-" his eyes widened tenfold! That was so not just talk. It sounded like- like a moan!
"What? Did you just moan my name?" Bankotsu asked in disbelief. He then remembered their first physical encounter in Mt. Hakurei, how she moaned when he accidentally pressed himself to her.
He chuckled and smirked; he flopped down beside her and slid in under the covers, wrapping her in his arms and watched her sleep. He unknowingly slipped his hand under her kimono, wanting to feel her- just feel her, even once.
His large hand rested on her warm belly, his fingers traced circles on her warm silky skin and they fiddled with her belly button. He then snaked his other arm behind her head so she could use it as a pillow, and leaned his head on her shoulder. Now that she was asleep, he would show her affection. For he cannot do it if she were awake.
His hand itched to go higher, to cup those perfect breasts that he craved so damn much. But no, he wouldn't.
'No, I will not take advantage of her while she is asleep!' Bankotsu fought off the urge as hard as he could, and for once- he won.
I wanna love you but I better not touch
I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
"So, what is wrong with her?" Jakotsu asked when he saw his brother leave his Aniki's room.
"I don't know, I haven't examined her thoroughly yet." The doctor replied.
"When do you plan on doing so?"
"After dinner," Jakotsu shrugged and went to the kitchen to make something to eat. On his way there he heard something when he passed Kagome's room. He has taken note of Banryu leaning against the wall beside the door.
"Aniki is in here?" Jakotsu asked to no one in particular and leaned closer to the door to hear clearly.
He gasped when he heard his imouto moan something. It sounded like "Stop, Ban-"
'Oh god, is he…? Are they…?!-' the gay man's jaw dropped to hell when he heard what his imouto had said. After a few minutes of staring at the door, he got over his shock and walked away; snickering,
"I can't wait to see the look on Suikotsu's face when he hears about this!"
Soon enough, dinner was ready and Suikotsu and Jakotsu were already in the dining area; again, gossiping about their brother and sister.
" I swear! She was moaning, moaning his fucking name!" Jakotsu argued.
"I doubt it Ja, Kagome can barely sit up, much more have sex! And you know how Aniki gets in bed, he's an animal! Kagome couldn't take that, even if she was okay." Suikotsu shot back, grinning at his brother.
"But why the moan-" Jakotsu's sentence was cut off by Suikotsu's hand. The person they were gossiping about had just entered the room.
"Uh- hi Aniki? Wanna eat?" Suikotsu stammered. Hoping that his brother didn't hear what they were talking about.
Bankotsu just looked at him and sat on his spot on the table and began to fill his plate. Seeing this, the others did the same.
"So, Aniki, what were you doi-" Jakotsu didn't get to finish-again. He was jabbed in the stomach by Suikotsu.
Bankotsu was getting tired of this, 'were they talking about me again?!They gossip like old hags!'
Jakotsu was also fed up, but about something else, 'Why does Suikotsu keep on shutting me up!? He's gonna pay!'
Jakotsu tackled Suikotsu and his plate to the ground and pulled on his brother's hair- and they started to rumble. A good ten minutes passed and Bankotsu finished his dinner and grabbed Jakotsu's plate.
"Jakotsu, I need a favor." Jakotsu and Suikotsu stopped immediately when they heard their leader's stern voice.
"Er, anything for you Aniki?" Jakotsu replied wearingly. Hearing this, Bankotsu snatched his gay brother by the collar of his kimono and sat him on the table.
Bankotsu fiddled with the food and tried to get it on the right position on the chop sticks. He couldn't allow even one piece of meat out of place, or else he might make a mess when he fed Kagome.
"Aniki?! What are you doing?" Jakotsu asked surprised, looking pitifully at his poor big brother who was perfecting the food on the chop sticks.
"Shut your mouth and cooperate for awhile." came Bankotsu's reply-command as he lifted the food and tried to aim it properly, so it would slip in its target graceful enough. His face showed no emotion.
Jakotsu just flipped his head to face Suikotsu, trying to ask for help, but his brother was busy, laughing his ass off.
The gay man pouted and let his Aniki practice with him, the first attempt came, and.. it was a complete disaster; part of the fish somehow hooked itself on the chopsticks and got stuck, making Jakotsu leave his mouth open longer than necessary.
"Kagome won't like to be fed like this!" Jakotsu spat, spitting the fish out of his mouth.
Bankotsu's left eye twitched in annoyance and tried again, this time, it was... er… good?
The rice ball went in the mouth alright, well, half of it, the other half was on the table. Yup, Bankotsu made a mess. Just like a little boy.
Another few tries and he finally got ticked off.
"Ugh! Damn it!" Bankotsu yelled as he brought his fists onto the table, making the food and Jakotsu ricochet all over the place. Suikotsu got over his laughing fit and decided to help his brother.
Seeing that Suikotsu was coming to his rescue, Jakotsu tried to run away, only to be pulled back by Bankotsu. He wiggled away but was seized by Suikotsu and the two brothers strapped their poor gay brother to the table- poor Jakotsu.
Jakotsu was red all over he hated this, but he knew better than to piss off Bankotsu; although he wanted to see his Imouto so badly, it would have to wait. He pouted and crossed his arms over his chest and brought his this is my 'I hate you face' on his face.
"Alright Aniki, watch how I do it," Suikotsu said as he perfectly maneuvered the chopsticks to Jakotsu's mouth. Bankotsu, thinking that he got it, grabbed the chopsticks from Suikotsu, and excitedly and gave it another go.
"Ah!" Bankotsu commanded. Jakotsu's face held fear, he liked it when Suikotsu did it, but Bankotsu? The last few tries were hell, and he bet if Bankotsu fed a baby, it would die, for sure. Jakotsu opened up anyway and let his Aniki practice again.
Due to Bankotsu's excitement, he wasn't able to keep his strength in check. Jakotsu's mouth was shaking, fearing his Aniki's bull shit skills with eating utensils.
Bankotsu drove the food in too deep and speared Jakotsu's throat with the chopsticks! Jakotsu's choked, and snatched the chopsticks away from his brother and snapped them in half and looked away, crossing his arms over his chest. "Do you want to choke her?!" Jakotsu asked angrily.
Bankotsu bowed his head, his bangs covering his perfect face. "Ugh, why is it that I can't control chopsticks while I can control Banryu perfectly?" Bankotsu asked, giving up.
Suikotsu sighed and got another pair of chopsticks and urged his brother to try again. Jakotsu felt a little bad for his Aniki, he probably shouldn't say things like that. After all, Bankotsu was a mercenary, not a father. He didn't have experience with this kind of thing.
I guess I need my life to change
seems like somethings just not the same
what could I say?
Kagome opened her eyes and looked around the room. 'Wow, talk about déjà-vu' she thought and remembered when she woke up in Kyou's place. It seems some of her energy is back- some of it.
A hint of fear gushed through her, since she was mated with Hiten, she did not want to see Kyou again, and she felt that he was just using her to get that spell done then leave her in the dust.
Who else left her in the dust? Oh that's right, there was Inuyasha, Sango, Bankotsu, Kyou, Sango again and Hiten.
Well, she really didn't count Hiten as one of them; he had a reason to leave. Just then, her mating mark burned, it was throbbing and it felt like it was pulling her somewhere. 'Is Hiten nearby?' She asked herself. She got up excitedly as she thought of her mate coming to join her here. She was getting bored; no one talked to her here. Except for the occasional, 'Are you alright?' from the doctor Suikotsu.
But if Hiten was here, she would never get bored, he never would shut up or run out of things to talk about, being with Hiten made her happy.
Come to think of it, Bankotsu has never spoken to her since he brought her to this house. Was he going back inside his shell again? Will he put on that cold mask of his? She really thought that he had changed when they found each other again last night, but no, it's becoming less and less of a possibility right now.
"Ah!" She screamed, her mark was on fire! It felt as if it was burning.
"Make it stop!" She screamed again, clutching her neck weakly, and tried to pry it off. She was in agony, the pain wouldn't stop. She kept on screaming. Soon her yells caught the attention of the men outside, they came busting in within minutes.
Bankotsu rushed to her side with worried eyes and tried to sooth her. But she didn't notice. How inconvenient, the only time he had shown her affection out in the open, she didn't notice- poor Bankotsu.
Suikotsu gently pushed his Aniki aside and came to Kagome's aid. Kagome's piercing screams were hurting everyone's ears.
"Lady Kagome, please calm down and tell me what hurts," Suikotsu commanded in a gentle voice.
Something crept into Kagome's mind, she couldn't tell them what hurts, they would find out about the mark, and sooner or later discover what it was. She couldn't let that happen, not until Hiten arrived. She stopped her screaming in an instant. She glued her mouth shut and held it, allowing only small whimpers to escape.
She forced out a smile and said. "I'm fine, it was just a bad uh… dream." Her sentences were interrupted by her grunts of piercing whimpers of pain. It hurt Bankotsu to see her like this. He wanted to take away all her pain, and make her all better. Suikotsu looked at her with worry; Kagome's hand on her bleeding neck triggered his curiosity. He reached out to her and grasped her wrist.
Kagome jerked the gentle hand away and glared at the doctor. It wasn't any use trying to hide it from the doctor now; all she could do was lessen the number of witnesses.
"Suikotsu, if you want to examine me, let's do it in private, please?" Kagome asked politely. The doctor nodded and turned to his brothers.
"She would like some privacy,"
That stung Bankotsu, didn't she trust him? Probably not... was she hiding something from him? Whatever, he would leave if that was her wish. The Shichinintai leader turned around and dragged Jakotsu out the door and kicked it shut.
Once the two were gone Suikotsu turned to Kagome. "Can I see now?"
Kagome let out a sigh and removed her hands from her neck and winced in pain. The mark was still there, it was obviously inflicted by a mouth with fangs. Blood was squirting out of it due to Kagome's attempt to pry it off.
Suikotsu pushed Kagome's jaw to the side and examined the wound. "Where did you get this?" He asked, confused because he'd never noticed it before.
Kagome thought for a while, pondering if she should tell him her secret. She decided not to, there was no doubt; that when Suikotsu finds out what it is he would flip and tell Bankotsu. And God knows what Bankotsu would do! She hadn't seen the jealous side of him yet. But would he even be jealous? Would he even care? She couldn't help but wonder.
The miko silently turned away and said. "I'm sorry Suikotsu, I don't want to talk about it." Suikotsu shook his head, got up, and went to the bath place to get a wet towel and pale of water.
Kagome summoned all her strength to get up and peek at the window. She got herself out of the futon, but when her weight was shifted from the futon to her feet; she stumbled down. She didn't give up, especially since the pain on her neck was back; she pulled herself up with the aid of the wall and rested her forearms on the window sill and looked up to the night sky.
She was hoping that she would see Hiten, flying around Arashiyama, trying to find her; she looked around desperately trying to find even a glimpse of his braid, flowing in the night sky. But there was no one, not a sign of him.
She sighed in disappointment, wasn't he supposed to be nearby? Why would her mark get painful if it wasn't for that reason? What else would be the reason? Then it dawned her.
Could it be that those waves were a sign that her mate was in trouble? Or dead?! She hoped not. A bond was formed instantly after he placed his mark on her; it was like something was pulling her to him, not wanting to be apart. It was annoying. Could feelings actually develop because of a mating mark? What were these instincts pulling her to him, they were so strong. It was hard to resist, if she wasn't in such a bad condition; she would be running around the town trying to find her mate by now.
She needed something to make her forget this feeling for awhile. She knew she felt something for Bankotsu, but Hiten? That was crazy. He was a demon. "So what?" Her heart teased her. Just then, she was brought out of her own little world when someone entered the room.
It was Bankotsu; he was carrying a pale and a towel. When he spotted her, hanging on the window, he dropped what he was carrying on the side table and rushed to her side. He handled her gently and carried her to the bed.
Kagome was surprised. Why was he being so caring? So gentle? Ever since last night, he started to confuse her more and more. He didn't speak to her, but there was something in his eyes, something talking to her; telling her that it will be okay.
Bankotsu silently sat her on the futon, leaned her back on its headboard, and looked at her. There it was again, those eyes, those beautiful azure eyes that held a message. He looked lovingly at her, his lips in a hard line, twitching, wanting to say something to her, but he couldn't.
Kagome leaned down to his face so that they were eye level with each other. "Are you okay?" Kagome asked in a caring tone.
Bankotsu was surprised; she was the one ill here, not him. Why would she ask that? And once again, she confused him. He didn't say anything; he looked away and soaked the tow el in the water. He squeezed the excess water out and gently touched Kagome's cheek, he caressed it at first, making her look at him, first with shock, but it evolved into a warm loving smile, in response Kagome place her hand atop of Bankotsu's.
He pushed her face to the side and looked at the wound. It was the wound he had seen last night. He wondered what caused this. He wasn't a genius but it looked like whatever did this to Kagome, she didn't struggle while it was doing it. The wound was clean, very neatly intact.
He grunted and his brows knitted together, could it be that she let whatever did this to her do this? He brought up his other hand that held the towel and cleaned the wound, removing the blood that stained her pale skin.
'Say something Bankotsu! What is there to say? I don't have any right to talk to her, not after what I've done.' Bankotsu thought as he proceeded with his task. Little did he know he was hurting Kagome by doing this.
Kagome rested her head on Bankotsu's palm, and winced when the pain was a little bit too much.
'He he, Silent love...' Kagome thought as she admired Bankotsu's face while he cleaned her wound.
I need a little more luck than a little bit
cause every time I get stuck, the words won't fit
and every time I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good love to get me by.
The red eyed demon flew in the night sky of Arashiyama, trying to find his mate, but to no avail. He raised his beautiful face to look at the moon. 'Kagome, where are you? It's starting, the bond is forming, if I don't find you soon and unmark you; the bond will make us fall in love. And your mark; it must be hurting you. I need to find you!'
After thinking this, something flying in the moon caught his eye. There were five to six of them, 'Energy thieves, pathetic scum.' Hiten seethed, he hated those creatures; they fed off thunder, his thunder. Little did he know that those creatures were the ones keeping his mate on her feet.
The violet snakes that flew around were obviously looking for something, too, but what? Hiten didn't pay attention, they might see him and suck him dry. He turned around and flew away, opposite the direction of the Energy suckers.
Kagome was alone in her room again, Bankotsu left again; without a single word. Didn't he know his actions were hurting her? He was acting like he was forced to care for her, he didn't talk to her, and it hurt her.
Much to her liking, Bankotsu re-entered the room with a tray in his hands. 'déjà-vu? Again...'
He sat on the chair beside her futon and started to prepare the food for her. Kagome shot up her brow, confused, is he going to feed her? 'Okay, now that's sweet.'
He held up the chopsticks, she waited for him to say it. 'Say it, say AHH.' her mind screamed inside. She watched as the line on his lips separate and he opened his mouth. She waited for his voice, she wanted to hear it again, but no, he did not say 'ahh,'
She pouted and opened her mouth anyway; thankful that he was feeding her- although she thought he was forced to do it, it still made her happy.
Bankotsu watched as her mouth opened up for him. Oh how he wished he could slip his tongue in there and make it dance with hers. And maybe something else. But no, he couldn't, he had no right. Usually, he wouldn't give a damn if he had the right to make out with a girl or not. He didn't give a shit what they wanted. But with Kagome, he just couldn't, he felt like he was in debt to her; for bringing him and his brothers back, then she was treated like shit. He did care what she wanted though. And he would never force himself on her.
He put his newly learned skills into action; he gracefully placed the fish in her hot mouth, congratulations, and he did not make a mess.
Kagome chewed the juicy fish with haste, wanting to open up for him again, slightly hoping he would take advantage of that. But no, she knew he did not return her feelings. So what? it was just a crush, or more, she did not know. Was it just lust? Nuh- uh! This was not the mere, simple lust that drove her crazy with Hiten, it was much more, Intense.
She opened up again when he held up a rice ball and took it in willingly. When she swallowed, she was going to say something, but was so rudely interrupted by another piece of fish.
'Okay? That is the third déjà vu today! First and second were from Kyou and now Hiten's apple feeding?! What is wrong with today?!' Kagome's mind spat.
Soon, the feeding was over, and not a single piece of food was misplaced. Bankotsu grabbed the tray and went out of the room; again without a word, but this time Kagome wouldn't have it.
"Bankotsu?" She called out. He looked at her with those eyes again; the eyes held mixed emotions this time- irritation, regret, sadness, worry, and confusion.
But the only thing that registered in her head was the emotions 'irritation and regret'
Did he regret finding her? Maybe, but it was unlikely. The things he said that night proved otherwise, and she was thankful for that.
"Do- do you h-hate me?" She choked out, fighting back tears. She looked so sad, causing a pang to attack Bankotsu's cold heart.
He looked at her. He didn't want to make a wrong impression, so he spoke up.
"No, now sleep, you need to rest." Was his quick reply and he left the room.
Kagome was in tears, tears of both sadness, and joy. Joy because he actually said something addressed to her and sadness because he said it coldly. She lay down on her futon and tried to sleep.
A few hours later, she woke up hearing child like voices; she knew what they were, her pets were back, hopefully fully loaded again.
She tried to get up but she was held sown by something, she looked beside her to find Bankotsu, on her futon, beside her. He had his arms circled around her waist, and his face nuzzled on her neck; his hot breath making her want to moan. She didn't know he had that kind of effect on her. Then she remembered when they landed in a very hot position back in Mt. Hakurei, when he inflicted pleasure upon her for the first time; although it only lasted for a few seconds, it was the best five seconds in her life. 'God, he felt big... what!? No bad Kagome, you are not a perverted girl!'
'Why is he here? I don't understand, does he hate me or not?! What is it?!'
She was about to move his hands from her waist, but they were locked on tight, given that she had no energy what so ever. She tugged a bit more and one of them loosened its hold, but it traveled upward and rested on her breast, cupping her perfect boob, pressing on it, his warm hand sending chills down her spine.
"Eep," Kagome let out, she had never been touched like that before by him... of course Hiten got naughty sometimes and his fingers brush through her mounds. One time, she could have sworn he kissed her there, after poking it over and over again when she was in deep thought on what to give him in exchange for her unmarking; and the time when he was marking her, he also touched her.
Sometimes she wondered how far she would let him go? Especially since there will be a few more bites on her neck, before the process is complete; and knowing Hiten, she knew he would try something, things always get hot when he bites her.
I need a little more help than a little bit
Like the perfect one word no one's heard yet
Cuz every time that I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good luck to get me by this time
She pushed those thoughts aside and tried to stand up, after dozens of failed attempt, she finally did get up. She looked around for her weapons and found them on a nearby table. She staggered to it and grabbed it.
She walked silently outside the house and went into the woods, occasionally falling, or tripping over a root; but when she looked up, she spotted her friends, and they spotted her too. They went swooping down to her and spiraled around her lithe form. One by one, they dropped their luggage and made Kagome glow in a beautiful violet light. Her hair floating from her shoulders, the light enhancing her features, it was truly a beautiful sight to see.
Just then, she heard someone land on a tree, she heard her friends hiss in distaste, and she peeked open one eye and looked up to see who was disturbing her recharging.
She looked up the tree and saw two glowing scarlet orbs, she knew who it was, and she sighed with relief; as she reached out her glowing hand. Her heart was racing, wanting to see her mate again.
"Hiten," She whispered in delight. Why was she acting like this? Is this one of the effects of the mating mark? This is bad; she would actually give in to him if he wanted to have sex with her.
Hiten jumped down the tree and hissed at the flying purple snakes that circled around Kagome. He grab bed her wrist, snatching her away from her offending snake friends and pulled her to him and held her in his arms.
"Kagome, you already know what is happening? Don't you?" He asked gently as his fingers massaging her raven head.
She nodded and returned the hug; she wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head on his hard chest. She did not want to let go, she loved the feel of his body against hers, but she knew why; it wasn't love, it was lust- pure lust, with a little tint of love; but what the heck…
"This is bad; we have to get this mark off you, if you don't want to fall in love with me." Hiten stated, hurt and hope, clear in his voice, feeling the same pulling sensation Kagome was feeling.
"let's just go with the flow, if we are too late and we do fall in love, then it is destiny, and if not, then -giggle- that is destiny too." Kagome said and snuggled deeper into her mate's chest. It was the mark making them act like this, there was no feeling behind this, right?
"I thought you loved that Bankotsu guy?" Hiten asked, smirking as he pulled away from the hug.
Kagome looked down and place her hands on her mate's chest. "I don't know anymore, this whole mate thing is stopping me from loving Bankotsu, She wanted to add 'whenever I'm with you, all I want is you; but when I am with him, all I want is him, I'm so confused' but didn't.
Hiten held her chin up and said. "Good," He held tight to her forearms and bent down so he could see her glowing face clearly.
"Let's make this quick, I'll come to you in a few days, just stay where you are and I'll come to you." Hiten stated. Kagome nodded.
"Ready?" Hiten asked and gently removed a strand of hair from Kagome's glowing face.
"Yes," upon hearing this, he pinned Kagome against a tree, and pushed his knee in between her legs, holding her steady in place. In the background you can see the energy thieves' jaws hit the floor.
He dunked his head on Kagome's neck licked around for awhile and then bit hard and deep. Making Kagome gasp in both pain and pleasure, she didn't know why the pleasure though, maybe it was the effect of the mark.
Hiten's hold on her wrists tightened but didn't hurt her; he was always so gentle with her. His hold on her wrists loosened and he brought her hands above her head and held her wrist again with only one hand this time. The miko grinned up, giving Hiten a good feel of the breasts, which he already knew all too well, making Hiten smirk on her neck.
Kagome set her arms free and encircled them around her mate's neck and prepared herself, she knew that she wasn't fully charged and her legs would give way anytime. They soon did, making Kagome sit on Hiten's muscular thigh. He smirked at that and pushed his knee up higher for two reasons, one to make Kagome comfortable and two, so he could feel the outside of her cunt.
Hiten's naughty fingers trailed down Kagome's torso, from her breasts to her hips, up and down they went. Kagome was unknowingly releasing pleasure moans, making Hiten's self control work on overdrive. He wanted to fuck her NOW but he held back, knowing that she would regret it in the morning, when the effects of the mark subsided. He really did care for her.
Then she felt it, she felt Hiten's hand touch her breast, he gently brushed them and squeezed them a bit. She was right, she couldn't protest, she would let him do anything to her. Help her God; she prayed Hiten won't go too far with her. But her heart was drunk with passion, her heart screamed for his touch; again, it was only the effects of the mark, nothing more.
Kagome felt lust overcome her body; she felt a heat stirring on her lower belly, in annoyance and pleasure. She squeezed Hiten's thigh using her own to ease the growing sensation. She was almost off the edge, a little more and she would have been riding him. She moaned again. And he smirked.
Hiten twisted around her neck, bringing his nose to where her hair line started an inhaled deeply, taking in and memorizing her luscious scent. He held on her hips and moved her around on his thigh, making her ride his thigh, earning him more moans from his mate.
"Please, Hiten!" She begged, wanting more. She couldn't even control it. She felt drunk with lust. Hiten smirked, then frowned. He didn't want to take advantage of her. But it was just so hard when she was right there in front of him, BEGGING for more. He wanted to please her, and more importantly, himself.
He could feel her wetting the top of his thigh because she was so horny. The scent of her arousal drove him insane.
It was so hard not to give into her, but he didn't.
"Calm down mate, you don't really want this." He said in his oh-so-persuasive voice. Kagome pouted and fell forward onto his chest, weak from his workings.
He engulfed her small body in his arms and pulled her to him, wrapping one arm around her and one arm underneath her butt to keep her up, not that he minded. Kagome wrapped her legs around his waist and let her head rest on his shoulder. He sat down with her in his lap.
She moved her head to face him. "Oh God Hiten, I feel so, so-" Kagome's face held an expression that screamed out 'lust', her pussy screaming for attention from her mate.
"Horny?" Hiten finished for her and chuckled, inhaling the sweet smell of her arousal that still tainted her normal scent.
"Yeah, why is that?" Kagome said, panting and resting her head on Hiten's chest.
"It's just an after effect mate, to make you change your mind, if you don't want to give in to it don't." He said plainly and sat them down on the forest floor.
Kagome felt tired and called on her pets to give her more power, they flew to her hesitantly, fearing their master's mate. Kagome rested her tired head on Hiten's shoulder. Hiten raised his brow, confused is to why his mate had these, these things.
'Wow, what was that? I feel so dirty… dirty and sexy!'
"Wow, that got hot," Kagome panted, sweat dripping from her neck down to her boobs.
"Yeah get used to it; I heard it gets more heated in every bite." Hiten stated, preparing her for more heated trysts with him.
"I don't know if I should look forward to it or be afraid?" Kagome joked. Then her face became sad.
"Hiten, what about Bankotsu? I have feelings for him, real feelings, not one brought by a mating mark. I feel like I'm betraying him..." Kagome confessed.
"You're doing this for him, and me." He added the last part in joke. Kagome giggled a bit but stopped and her smile turned into a frown. He knew what was wrong, she was confused, confused on who to love, Bankotsu, or him.
Hiten decided to comfort her and reassure her that he will be waiting.
"Kagome, even if the mark is gone, I will still be with you; if I have to wait for that mercenary to die so I could be with you, I will." Hiten's sudden declaration shocked Kagome.
"H-Hiten-do you love me?"
