I do NOT own InuYasha! Yadda yadda..

Chapter 6

Bankotsu's POV

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

"Um, well. How do I put this?"

"..."

"Okay, I'm just going to come out and say this." the look on her face is edging me on to tell her. What if I get rejected.

"Okay, shoot."

"I think I love you."

"..."

"..." awkward silence.

"Really?"

"Yeah, but it could be because Jakotsu set it in my mind, and I thought about it all the time."

"Thought about what?"

"Uh, what love is, and you?" she doesn't talk for a long time.

"Thanks for letting me know, Bankotsu. But I'm sorry. I don't know if I can return the feeling." how come?

"Why?"

"I think I'm still in love with InuYasha."

"... you are?"

"I don't know." this conversation is getting more awkward by the second. And I thought the most awkward part would be when I told her how I felt.

"Do you still want to stay with me?"

"Well, I'm not exactly here by choice." oh yeah.

"But, I'll stay here a little longer, if that's alright." Jakotsu and Mukotsu come through the door.

"Aww." they say in unison. With hearts for eyes.

"Get out!"

"Aw.." they leave. Kagome gets up and walks out the door. Just what I was afraid of.

How could I be so stupid as to tell her how I feel? I should of left things how they were. It was okay. We had a normal routine. Kagome would say something, make me mad, get mad herself, go on the floor, Mukostu would creep her out, she'd come back up to my bed, our fight would be over, Mukotsu would try to get into our bed, and we'd put grease on him so he would slip and not be able to get up. That was our routine. It happened over, and over. Is it all going to change now?

Kagome walks back into the room.

"We're having a snowball fight. You should come." she holds my hand as I stand up.

"Fine." we go outside where all of my brothers are standing in groups.

Kyokotsu, Mukotsu, Suikostu, and Renkotsu were on one side while Ginkotsu and Jakotsu were on the other. Kagome, still holding my hand, runs over to Ginkotsu and Jakotsu. I trip and fall face first. Thanks Kagome.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot I still had hold of your hand." she let go of it and ran over to Jakotsu and Ginkotsu. She didn't help me up. Nice.

I watch her describe how a snowball fight works. Renkotsu picked it up very quickly and threw one at my face. That does it. I pick up some snow and whip it at him. He blew out some fire and it melted. No fair.

The fight went by and soon we were all drenched from the snow. This was fun. We feel it starting to get warmer.

"It must've been a freak storm." Kagome thought out loud. She ran over to Ginkotsu and jumpped on him. She whispered in his ear. Ginkotsu took off at full speed. What was that for? Jakotsu starts running after them. Mukotsu scurries off somewhere. Renkotsu walks off with Suikotsu, leaving me alone with Kyokotsu. But then Kyokotsu gets up.

"Hey, Kyokotsu. Where are you going?" I ask.

"To meet up with my girlfriend." Kyokotsu stated.

"You have a girlfriend?" it was kind of shocking.

"Yeah." He leaves and I'm all alone. Why'd Kagome have to leave with Ginkotsu.

Well, I don't have anything better to do. Ginkotsu better bring Kagome back. I head inside. I go lay down on my bed and fall asleep.

Kagome's POV

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?" I ask him.

"Um, well. How do I put this?"

"..."

"Okay, I'm just going to come out and say this." I look at him, hoping he'll just spit it out.

"Okay, shoot."

"I think I love you."

"..."

"..." awkward silence.

"Really?"

"Yeah, but it could be because Jakotsu set it in my mind, and I thought about it all the time."

"Thought about what?" I ask.

"Uh, what love is, and you?" what do I tell him? I think about it.

"Thanks for letting me know, Bankotsu. But I'm sorry. I don't know if I can return the feeling."

"Why?" I feel bad now.

"I think I'm still in love with InuYasha."

"... you are?"

"I don't know." I say. I'm a little confused right now.

"Do you still want to stay with me?"

"Well, I'm not exactly here by choice."

"But, I'll stay here a little longer, if that's alright." Jakotsu and Mukotsu come through the door.

"Aww." they say in unison. With hearts for eyes.

"Get out!" Bankotsu yells.

"Aw.." they leave. I get up and leave too. I need to think.

I follow Jakotsu and Mukotsu outside. Somehow, I get everyone else to go out. I set up teams for a snowball fight. Renkotsu and I are team captains.

"I'll choose first. Let's see. Jakotsu." Jakotsu comes running over to me.

"Kyokotsu." Suikotsu says.

"Bankotsu, when he comes out." I say.

"Renkotsu." okay, all that's left is Ginkotsu and Mukotsu.

"Ginkotsu!" I yell. Suikotsu hits his head.

"Fine. Mukostu, get over here." Mukotsu scurries over to him. I have to go get Bankotsu.

"Okay guys." I say. "I'm going to go get Bankostu, and then I'll explain the rules." I run into the house.

I walk into the room and found Bankotsu on the floor.

"We're having a snowball fight. You should come." I grab his hand and he stands up.

"Fine." I lead him outside.

Everyone was ready, so I figured I should go hurry and explain the rules. I start running and I hear Bankotsu fall. Oops I forgot I was holding his hand still.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot I still had hold of your hand." I let go of it and ran over to our side.

I described how it works, and Renkotsu picked it up very quickly. He picked up some snow and threw it at Bakotsu's face. It was very funny. Bankotsu picked up some snow and tried to throw it at Renkotsu. But Renkotsu cheated and blew fire at it.

The fight went by very quickly. Neither of us had won. But we were all drenched from head to toe. It started feeling warmer.

"It must've been a freak storm." I thought out loud. I ran over to Ginkotsu. I hopped up onto him and whispered in his ear.

"Hey Ginkotsu. Will you take me somewhere?" He slightly nodded his head in reply. We took off. I looked back and seen Jakotsu running towards us.

"Ginkotsu stop." I said. We lurched to a stop and Jakotsu got on.

"So, where are you going?" Jakotsu asked.

"I want to go pick some flowers. On that picnic Bankotsu took me on, I seen a field full, but I didn't think Bankotsu would let me stop to pick some." I said.

"Ooo! Can I come?"

"Yeah." she's already coming, isn't she? Ginkotsu starts up again and we get there rather quickly. Yellow flowers are all over. I start picking some. So does Jakotsu.

"Who are you picking yours for Kagome?" Jakotsu asks.

"Can't I pick them for myself?" I retorted.

"Your picking them for someone. I can tell." she knows me to well.

"Fine, I am. Are you picking yours for someone?" I ask her.

"InuYasha." she stated flatly. She knows where he is?

"Oh..."

"You want to know if I know where he is, don't you?" she can read my mind!

"Well, kind of."

"I don't know where he is, unfourtunatly. But when he finds you, I'll give him these." I don't really know what to say to that, so I just pick more flowers. I pick nine of them.

"Are you ready to go Jakotsu?" I ask her. She stands up.

"Yes." we get back on Ginkotsu and head back.
