tired just going to type WORD OF THE DAY: TOLD

Bankotsu's POV

Rukia and I walked along the dirt pat, dust traveled behind. She didn't look to happy like she was before. 'I wonder what's wrong with her' I thought. I was about to say something when she beat me to it.

"Bankotsu, do you know why I am here?" what?

"What?" I looked at her confused. She stopped walking.

"Do you know why you were resurrected again and why I am with you?" we stood just the two of us in the middle of the dirt road. Staring into each others eyes. She looked so beautiful. They were golden speckled with green, I just got lost in them until Rukia brought me back out with her meek voice.

"Hello, Ban?" I looked up at her.

"Sorry I …. I was just lost in thought. No, no I don't know why."

"I will tell you, you need to know." I looked at her confused.

"Okay, can we keep walking though?" I asked her

"Ya," she said "so you don't know why you are back." I shook my head. "Okay, are you familiar with the name….Nuraku." I stopped dead in my track and froze. A slit tingling sensation went up my back.

"…. Bankotsu are you okay?" I looked at Rukia. Worry was held inside of them.

"Who do you know him?" I asked her suddenly.

"I…. I sort of work for him." My eyes began to glow with anger. 'What?!?'

"What?!?!" I yelled at her. She shrunk back a little.

"…."

"You mean to tell me that you are working for the guy who killed me again!!!????"

"…."

"Answer me damn it!" I wanted to hurt her so bad, but I loved her I couldn't will myself to lift my hand.

"Yes, but only because I have no choice!" she add that in quickly. My anger seemed to go away a bit.

"What do you mean you have no choice?" she looked up into my eyes. They were very misty tears lined them, threatening to fall down.

"If I didn't he would have killed my family. He would have killed my mother! I didn't want that." She was holding back her tears as best she could. Some managed to escape though. She looked hurt and sad. 'Was she always like this?'

"I…I didn't… I 'm sorry Rukia…. I didn't know."

"I wouldn't expect to understand, like you said you are a mercenary, you have no heart." My soften eyes turned hard on her again, I really wanted to hurt. I mean how dare she; she does not know me well enough to say such a thing. My anger was raging inside me. My head was telling me "HIT HER, DO IT!" and that is exactly what I did.

Rukia's POV

I was just staring at him with an emotionless face. His face showed no emotion either. My cheek still stung. My face was red, my heart hurt. I stared at him a little while longer before turning away from him and walking away. I cried silently to myself. 'What was I think two mercenaries so different from each other do not belong together. But I can at least still love him. Right?'

Before I could even look up Bankotsu caught my chin and looked into my eyes.

"You deserved that." I gave him a glare.

"How so?" I said not caring the answer.

"If I had no heart then I wouldn't love you, would I?" My heart melted. 'He loves me, wait… this is what he wants me to do. He wants me to love him. He doesn't care if I fall for him; he just wants to get laid.'

"Hmpf, I don't think so, I meant what I said, get over it. I don't think we should waste our time talking about such nonsense, love. That is just a human feeling, I am a demon. I am no one woman to love get over it. You are a clod hearted mercenary, you are a killing machine. I don't even find you human. I don't love you.

Bankotsu's POV

My heart sank. I felt hurt, sad, angry, depressed, and dead. I was cold, my heart iced up once more. The girl I fall for, she doesn't love me back. I knew I wasn't meant to love, but I didn't think it would hurt this bad. I guess I jumped to the wrong conclusion, again.

OH, poor Ban, well he shouldn't have hit her. Meanie. OH well you can't change the past. HE WILL HAVE TO DEAL. Rukia ahh yes she is too cold for words isn't she?????? DON'T YOU WISH YOUR GIRLFRIEND WAS HOT LIKE ME, DON'T YOU WICH YOUR GIRL FRIEND WAS A FREAK LIKE ME, DON'T YOU BA BA BA BA, DON'T YOU!!!!!
