I do NOT own InuYasha!

Chapter 7

Bankotsu's POV

I flop over. How long have I been sleeping? I open my eyes and see Kagome. She's standing with Mukotsu. She hands him flower and walks away. Then she runs out the door. What's she up to. I sit up. I see Mukotsu eat the flower. Gross. I wish didn't see that.

Kagome walks back through the door after a few minutes.

"Oh, you're up?" she asks.

"Yeah." she sticks her hand out. A flower's in it. I take it.

"What's this for?" I ask.

"If you don't want it, I'll take back." Kagome stated, with an outstreched hand.

"No, I want it," she smiled, "I was just wondering what it was for."

"Well, that day we went on the picnic, I seen a field full of these. I wanted to pick some, but I wasn't sure if you would let me." that doesn't really answer my question.

"And," she continued, "I wanted to get some for you and your brothers." she grips the two in her hand harder. Who does she still have to give them to? She noticed me looking at them, and blushed. She ran over to her backpack and put them in there.

She came back and sat next to me. I put the flower in her hair. I don't know why, I just felt that it was the right thing to do. She looks at me and smiles. I want to kiss her. I start to lean forward, but something taps the window. Kagome whips around and sees InuYasha.

"InuYasha!" she runs over to the window and opens it up. He steps in and she hugs him. Yuck.

"Kagome. Are you alright?" he asks her.

"Yeah."

"Get out." I tell InuYasha. Kagome runs over to her backpack and gets out one of the flowers. She hands it to him.

"InuYasha. I'll get freedom someday. Just do one thing for me, okay? Go tell my family I love them. Please."

"Kagome, come with me. I-we miss you." InuYasha says.

"I miss you, and everyone else too. But I'm alright." she kisses him. "I'll be free soon. But until then, I'll be fine. Just remember to tell my family I love them." she hugs him, and then pushes him out the window, crying. It must've been hard for her to do that. But it was disgusting for me to see.

The rest of the night Kagome was crying. She got up and walked to Jakotsu's room. I heard her slam the door.

Mukotsu comes up to talk to me.

"You messed up." was what he said. How is this my fault!

"How?" I retorted.

"Kagome feels torn between the two she loves. It's all your fault." he said, then he slipped off my bed, and into the crack. That was the smartest thing I've ever heard him say. And one of the weirdest.

I'm going to sleep it off.

When I woke up, Kagome wasn't in here. Oh, that's right. She's in Jakotsu's room. I should go get her.

I walk out of my room and into Jakotsu's. Kagome's laying on the floor and her face was pink and kind of puffy from crying. I feel kind of bad for her. I pick her up bridal style and take her into my room. I lay her on my bed. I go sit on my floor to think about what Mukotsu said.

Kagome's POV

After Ginkotsu dropped Jakotsu and I off I gave him a flower. Then I gave Jakotsu one. And Kyokotsu one. I ran into Bankotsu's room to give him one, but he's sleeping. I go over to the crack and knock. A few moments Mukotsu pops out.

"What?" he asks. I hand him the flower and run out of the room to give them to the rest of the Band of Seven. Renkotsu took it, but I'm sure he burnt it. Suikotsu cut it up when I handed it to him. I shouldn't of even bothered getting them one.

I walk back into Bankotsu's room.

"Oh, you're up?" I ask when I see him awake.

"Yeah." I hand him a flower, but I doubt he'll want it.

"What's this for?" he asks. I knew he didn't want it.

"If you don't want it, I'll take back." I say. I stick my hand out.

"No, I want it," I smile, "I was just wondering what it was for." why does it have to be for anything?

"Well, that day we went on the picnic, I seen a field full of these. I wanted to pick some, but I wasn't sure if you would let me." I say, not knowing what else to say.

"And," I continued, "I wanted to get some for you and your brothers." I grip the two in my hand harder without realizing it. One's for me, and one's for...InuYasha. Bankotsu's eyes were on my hand, looking curiously at the flowers. I blush, and run over to my backpack to put them away.

I went back over to the bed and sat down next to Bankotsu. I see his hand move hesitently, and then I noticed he put a flower in my hair. I smile, thinking that it was sweet. There's a tap on the window, and I look over to see what it is. InuYasha.

"InuYasha!" I run over to the window and open it up, helping him get through. I hug him, so excited to see him again.

"Kagome. Are you alright?" he asks me.

"Yeah." I say.

"Get out." Bankotsu says at InuYasha. We don't pay attention to him. I run over to my backpack to get the flower. InuYasha has to go now. I love and miss him, but I'm okay here.

"InuYasha. I'll get freedom someday. Just do one thing for me, okay? Go tell my family I love them. Please."

"Kagome, come with me. I-we miss you." InuYasha says. I notice his slip-up.

"I miss you, and everyone else too. But I'm alright." I kiss him. "I'll be free soon. But until then, I'll be fine. Just remember to tell my family I love them." I hug him, and push him out the window. I know he will survive the fall, but I couln't take seeing him anymore. I love him so much and I miss him, but I know that I have to stay here. The tears fall.

I spent the rest of the night crying. At one point, I got embaressed of having Bankotsu watch me cry, so I went into Jakotsu's room. I accidentily slammed the door.

Jakotsu tried to comfort me, and I cried all night long. I don't know how long I stayed up crying, but I fell into a hard sleep on the floor.

I felt something move me. I barely opened my eyes to see Bankotsu carrying me into his room. He layed me on the bed, and then walked away. I wonder what that was for. Oh yeah, things are different now. Bankotsu confessed to me. It'll never be the same.

Okay, this is the end for now. If you feel it should continue, message, or review, and tell me why! :) Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed!
