"Heaven Sent"

Chapter 14

With Love, Comes Thorns


What is this I'm feelin', I just can't explain
When you're near, I'm not quite the same
I try to hide it, Try not to show it
It's crazy, how could this be

'Ba-Dump' There it was again, the feeling that Sango thought she would never feel again.

"Oi,woman, I'm talking to you!" Jakotsu said, trying to get her attention, more like, getting her attention off him. She's been staring at him for a while now and it was getting awkward.

Shaking her head and coming down to earth, she replied, half-dazed. "Thank you"

Jakotsu blinked a couple of times, noticing that the slayer was eying something down south, he followed her eyes and realized that he was still holding her wrist, he quickly jerked his hand away; with his nose up in the sky, filled with pride, he suggested.

"Um, you look tired, follow me"

At first, Sango raised her brow in both confusion and astonishment, then the other her kicked in, you know? The conservative, high pitched, full of angst side.

"Hah! As if I'd go with you!" Sango then added, "No way, I hold no interest in you what so ever!" Now it was her nose's turn to go flying sky high.

Rolling his eyes, Jakotsu stated dryly, "Your Kagome's friend right? She's with us and I know for a fact that you wanna see her"

Sango's lips formed a straight line and she looked away in defeat. He started to walk, she followed, both in their own separate worlds.


Can You Feel The Love Tonight

The Peace The Evening Brings

The World For Once

In Perfect Harmony With All It's living Things

Strolling around Arashiyama, was Bankotsu and Kagome, both still feeling a bit awkward about the new found friendship, although they both wanted it, they both had their reasons for it not to be.

'I heard Love has trials but this is just too much, first we were off with a bad start; an extremely bad start, And I don't even know why he was so mean. Second I am mated, third, I'm dying! Will this even work?' Kagome thought sadly, confused, she didn't know what to do anymore.

Then it dawned her.

'He doesn't know about Hiten yet, he has no idea that someone else has already touched me in places he'd want to have all to himself, would he still want me when he finds out?'

'You mean if he finds out'

Walking by Bankotsu's side, Kagome looked up to get a view of his oh so handsome face. His features were as of a God's, perfect in almost every way.

' wonder how his face will look when he wakes up and finds out I'm dead' Kagome thought sadly, feeling someone's eyes on him, Bankotsu looked down at her. He cracked a smile, she did the same.

'Great, now I've got Suikotsu out of the way, I can finally have some quality time with my girl! uh.. but where do I start, think! Think!'

They have been walking in complete silence for a while now, and the silence must be destroyed, before the 'we're friends now' relationship boost is over.

"Um, My feet hurt" Kagome admitted, it was true, her energy levels were starting to sink.

Eyes flooding with concern and understanding, Bankotsu scanned the area for a potential resting spot where they could be alone, his eyes caught site of a dock at the isolated part of town. He took her hand in his calloused ones and gently pulled her to the said place.

"Come on, I saw a place for us to rest" He boasted.

Hesitantly, Kagome followed him, blushing a bit because he was holding her hand in his.

So Many Things To Tell Her,

But How To Make Her See,

The Truth About My Past;Impossible

She'd Turn Away From Me

The couple watched the moon's reflection on the water as sat on the dock and they dipped their feet into the blue abyss. Attempting to break the silence, Bankotsu queried,

"So, what happened to you after you left? I mean when I found you you were quite, um.."

"Beaten up?" Kagome continued for him, " Yeah, That was the most painful two months of my life" 'And the best..' Her heart whispered, thinking about Hiten.

How could she think of Hiten now?! She was with Bankotsu, he was what she wanted right?

'Then Why do I feel this way?'

"I'm sorry you had to go through that, It was my fault entirely" Bankotsu said coolly, Kagome gave him a funny look.

"Don't act coy on me now,"

Kagome wasn't moved, the funny look was still intact on her pretty little face. Bankotsu pouted.

"Your gonna make me say it, aren't you"

"..."

"Ugh, It was my fault because I said some pretty bad things ( Kagome tilts her head) to you after you slapped me.

Kagome blinked.

"Then I slapped you back" Bankotsu grunted when she didn't change her expression.

"And I'm Sorry for that too.. I really wish you didn't leave." He confessed.

" I didn't want to leave. You made me leave." Kagome explained, It was Bankotsu's turn to be confused.

Kagome splashed her feet through the water a couple of times and explained further, confiding to each other about, well, each other would be good for,. Whatever thing they have going on.

"Well, you said you didn't want a weak girl, so-" Kagome paused when she noticed that Bankotsu's expression was plastered with guilt, but still she continued on, hoping that what she would say next would help him feel better.

"So I left to become stronger to prove myself to you,.... and because I was angry, but what the heck, right?" Kagome finished with a joke and a big goofy grin. Bankotsu looked at her and nudged her gently at the ribs.

"Hah, You don't have to prove yourself to me,. Not anymore at least" It was true, he didn't approve of her weak personality before,but her honesty and selflessness made up for half of it , men want femininity, not feebleness, that was the only thing he wanted to change. Little did he know someone already did.

'Whoever said that if you love someone, you would love her for who she is and won't change anything about her, is bull-minded'

Kagome smiled at this and inched closer to him.

Bankotsu, getting an idea, asked her, " You cold?" Kagome smiled and thought he was sweet.

"No" Did she just reject his attempt to woo her?

'Oh God this does not happen to me, I'm Bankotsu, Leader of the Shichinintai, and no girl can resist me!'

He was hoping she's say yes, so he'd get an excuse to hold her, but no, the weather god wouldn't have it, he could make it cold enough.

Another idea popped in his mind, he could still turn the situation around. Even with girls he thought it through with strategy, he really was a mercenary, through and through.

"Well I know I am." He moved closer to her, "Warm me up?" He finished, looking oh so adorable.

Kagome blushed a million shades of red, she had no idea he could be this intimidating. She closed the distance between their bodies and rested her head on his shoulder.

Smirking, happy that his tactic worked, Bankotsu wrapped his arm around her shoulder and smelled her hair.

'She smells like me' He wondered why this was for a bit, then he remembered the shampoo stuff, and remembered Inuyasha, he should probably tell her about that, he heard from someone that with relationships comes Honesty.

"Um, while we were looking for ya, we kinda bumped into Inuyasha" Bankotsu informed her, expecting her to go ballistic and fret about the whole thing, but she didn't.

"Oh. Thanks for telling me"

Bankotsu, smiled. 'this honesty thing does have it's perks.'



I don't mean to run

But Every time You come Around

I Feel more alive,

than ever

It was getting late and Suikotsu was in town, alone, hungry and pissed.

"Where the hell is Aniki?!" He was having a hair pulling moment, they were supposed to meet him here an hour ago, but there's no sign of them. He let a good thirty minutes pass and decided to take off on his own, go home, rest, eat and wait for them there.

He dragged himself home, he was bored.

Oh, Only if he knew what surprise was going to jump on his face, he would be anything but bored.

Nearing their temporary home, he noticed a tense aura, he paced faster and when he reached the sliding door but he stopped. He could feel something vibrating through the wood.

THUD THUD THUD,

Out of instinct, he sidestepped to the left, a few seconds later, the door shattered into a million tiny pieces, Hiraikutsu was the obvious culprit, it flew far and returned, smashing the other side of the house.

He heard voices, a man and a woman.

Was he in the wrong house? He peeped in to see Jakotsu and one of Inuyasha's companions, if memory serves right, her name is Sango, she was part of Kagome's memories, he saw it all when he was revived.

The two of them were in a heated argument about something called a bra.

"It is mine!!" Sango eyes burst into fire and dived for the piece of oddly shaped cloth.

"No Imouto gave it to me, it's mine" Jakotsu said, sidestepping out of Sango's way. Clashing with the wall, Sango hurt herself a bit but was still pissed as hell.

"Why I oughta!" Sango was getting ready to perform another suicide body-bombing targeting Jakotsu's nether region, with Jakotsu ready to dodge her again, but his eyes caught site of his brother watching and he turned his attention to him.

"Hey, didn't see you there Sui, where's Ani-" BOOM!!

He wasn't able to dodge Sango's full frontal attack, so they both smashed through the wall. They started rolling all over the floor.

"Give it to me!"

"Let go!"

"Of What?! I'm not holding it!" Sango barked at him.

"Neither am I" They looked at each other, confused, then both eyes turned deadly and faced Suikotsu, who was dangling the bra at them.

"What the hell is this thing?" Suikotsu asked the couple who were eying him maliciously, ready to pounce any minute now when someone peeked through the broken door and said.

"Hey guys! Band of,.. uh, hack and slash I assume"


He's Holding Back He's Hiding

Of What I Can't Decide

Why Won't He Be The Man I Know He Is

The One I See Inside

He walked through a path in the woods, Banryuu resting on his right shoulder, and on his left was a sack of assorted food.

'Anytime now' he thought sadly. It's been what now? Eight years since they were married, he was a happy man. He had come into terms with his past mistakes, and was ready to face the consequences he had inflicted upon his wife.

He breathed deeply in front of the door to their home, every afternoon for eight years this was his routine, go into town and get supplies, go home, breathe deeply in front of his house and hope that Kagome was still alive, she always was though. He was confident that she would welcome him back like she always did.

Not today.

He opened the sliding door and received a fist on the gut from his eldest son. He got the message, his world shattered, his heart thumped wildly against his chest.

He dropped his luggage and ran to his wife's side, ignoring his son's attempts to kill him.

He had to admit, his son's blow hurt.

'Wait a minute, why in the hell is he mad with me? Does he know? No, Kagome wouldn't, would she?'

"Hey, What I do?" Bankotsu asked innocently.

Coming out from the other room, was his daughter, a splitting image of her mother, only with blue eyes.

"We know" Raigeki said coldly, he was named after Hiten.

"Uncle Inuyasha told us" Mai added, looking at her father with a dreadful glare to match her brother's.

His Shattered world just shattered to dust, he did not expect this, he thought that they would never know, that it was his fault, that it was all his fault.

The only thing that made him come to terms with Kagome's death is that he would have their children with him, and get through it all together, but now he can see it was now impossible

"It's your fault" His children said in chorus , over and over again. He fell to his knees and screamed.

"Wow! What happened" Kagome jerked up and tried to comfort Bankotsu. He just woke up screaming.

He didn't stop, he was freaked.

"Hey, now, relax, it was just a dream." Kagome soothed him and patted him on the back. She had no idea Bankotsu can get worked up over a bad dream, what could it have been? Nothing about her that's for sure.

Breathing haggardly, he faced her and grabbed her by the shoulders.

"Tell me it was all my fault, tell me how evil I am, How bad I have been, that I don't deserve you!"

'what the?' Kagome thought.

"No, none of that is true, You are a goo-" Kagome began to explain but was cut off by Bankotsu.

"No! You're wrong, tell me You're wrong!"

"It's okay, I forgive you, I did a long time ago" Kagome assured him and placed a hand below his ear. He dropped his head and whispered.

"Please don't forgive me, God please don't!"

He was calming down now. 'phew' Kagome thought.

She brought her other hand to caress his back when he jerked his head up, it happened so fast she didn't have time to think it through. He smashed his lips on hers, his hand traveling to her nape and pulled her closer.

The kiss was filled with longing, desire, and passion all together. All Kagome could think of was.

'wow, wow, wow, wow'

They parted, but not for air. It would just be awkward to keep on kissing for thirty minutes straight and not do anything further, they were both sure it wasn't time for that yet.

Kagome was dazed, thinking that she wasn't a good kisser, who had no experience with the matter. 'Bankotsu probably thinks I suck at kissing'

She looked up at him, he looked happy now, she smiled. He put his forehead on hers and they laughed.

A few minutes passed and they decided to go back home, Bankotsu, still not remembering that he had to meet up with Suikotsu, damn, he was just too happy to remember, much more to care.

They reached the house, neither noticing that the door was gone. They entered it only to be greeted by no other than Hiten.

Hiten looked up at the new arrivals.

On the inside he wanted to rip this guy apart, he didn't even had the decency to get her home on a decent hour, what took them so long anyway?

'He better keep his hands to himself' Hiten boiled inside, but on the surface, was an impenetrable poker face.

"Wow, Who's the pretty girl" He asked cockily, as if it was the first time he saw her.

Kagome and Hiten might have everyone fooled, everyone but Sango.
