Chapter thirteen:
The next morning:
Souta woke up with Hitomi’s head nestled warmly on his bare chest and smiled.
Bankotsu’s eyes opened and he heard the boy shifting in his bed to a more comfortable position. He immediately noticed the sea of raven locks falling across his own bare chest.
Slowly his sapphire eyes traveled past the length of her hair to land on her creamy, angelic face and a smile spread across his tanned face as he thought happily, 'My beautiful Kagome.'
Of their own accord, his long, thick fingers began running through her silky mane, and his heart fluttered when she smiled and snuggled deeper into his warm chest, still fast asleep.
An unexpected feeling of calmness spread through his very being as he continued to watch the innocent priestess’s relaxed form sleeping, draped lazily across his chest. His free hand began running up and down her back in slow motion to help ease his own tension.
He didn’t know how exactly to explain it, but lying like this just holding her while she slept made him feel so… serene. He just felt like everything was right with the world. He had never felt this way before. Sure he’d held women before, but they were mainly concubines and it was simply an act of going through motions after a wild and oftentimes strenuous, sexual release.
But this… this was tremendously different. For starters, he hadn’t even had sex with her yet and he wanted to hold her. With the other girls, they had requested it and he had seen no reason not to, but he had never enjoyed holding them. He blinked as he realized that with Kagome he actually wanted- no needed to hold her like this, for his own enjoyment as well as hers.
It felt refreshing to hold her, not like some boring chore. He closed his eyes, thinking honestly, “I could lay here holding her forever and not complain.” Truth be told, he was reluctant for this moment of tranquility to end, but he knew it would soon.
He exhaled a long, drawn-out sigh as he heard their roommates beginning to stir because he knew his time holding her would soon end. Minutes later the sleeping girl’s brain began to register the comforting feeling of someone running their fingers through her hair.
Slowly her thick lashes fluttered open and she smiled at the sight of him watching her. She shifted to stare into his eyes and smiled, greeting, “Morning, Ban.”
A small smile graced his features as he replied, “Morning, beautiful.” causing the teenager to blush. He brushed his lips against her cheek and they sat up. He mentally bemoaned, 'Aw, fun time’s over for now, I guess.' as a tiny pout appeared on his face and he stared at the wall.
Kagome yawned and stretched before slipping off the bed and standing up. She could hear Souta and Hitomi were awake and called out, “Morning, you two.”
Souta said, amused, “Good morning yourself, Miss Chipper.” used to his sister’s usual, cheery moods in the mornings.
Hitomi said groggily, “Morning, Kagome.” and yawned, rolling back onto her bed saying, “Give me a few more minutes, Souta.” in a pleading tone.
He chuckled, “Nope, it’s time to rise and shine so we can eat before we leave.” pulling the sheet off her.
She groaned, “No fair.” but got up and started packing her things. Souta grinned, nodding once and began packing his things.
Bankotsu stared at the floor, still sulking that his enjoyment was cut short, and Kagome went to wash her face.
Souta sat on his bed staring at the envelope from his mother. Hitomi’s eyes landed on the envelope and she said, “Oh yeah, we’re supposed to open that today, right?” pointing to the envelope.
Catching the conversation and remembering her mother’s instructions, Kagome walked out of the bathroom and suggested, “Open it now.” curious as to why it was to wait for their last day here. Bankotsu walked around the corner, also curious, and stood behind his girlfriend.
Souta nodded and said, “Okay.” slowly opening the envelope. He pulled out four chain necklaces and a note. He read the note out loud.
--
Dear Souta, I know you and Hitomi will like yours.
Kagome, I hope you and Bankotsu will like your necklaces as well.
Consider these as my way of officially welcoming both Bankotsu and Hitomi into our humble family.
I hope the four of you will wear these with pride.
Love, Mom.
P.S. I hope the star was okay, Bankotsu. I figured you must like stars because of the tattoo on your forehead and I thought the color was a perfect match for it.
--
Souta grinned, grabbing the necklaces and said, “Here, Hitomi,” helping her clasp on her panda bear holding a big sign with an H on it. She bent her head forward with tears brimming in her eyes and said breathed, "Thanks babe.” as he clasped it around her neck.
She pulled her head up and a delicate hand traced the panda as she fought to hold her tears back. Next, Souta slipped the soccer ball with the big S over his own neck, grinning.
Passing Kagome the tiger with the big K on the sign hanging from its mouth, he said, “Here, sis.”
Smiling, Kagome took it, asking, “Will you help me put this on, Ban?” holding it out to him as she stared at him expectantly.
Having watched how Souta helped Hitomi put on hers, Bankotsu nodded and took the thin necklace between his fingers. He placed it over her neck and helped her with the clasp. After fumbling a time or two with the clasp, he grit his jaw in determination and managed to finally clasp it shut.
Kagome thanked him and bushed her lips against his cheek, before she held up the thin chain with a big purple star and a silver B carved on it to Bankotsu asking a tad nervously, “Will you wear this?” as she stared deep into his oceanic blue eyes.
Bankotsu was unexpectedly touched by the fact that her mother had even included him in this, yet alone what it represented and nodded, thinking, “Even if it’s just to show my appreciation.”
Kagome smiled as he bent his head forward signaling for her to help him put it on. She clasped it shut and announced happily, “It matches this nicely.” as she leaned forward and placed a kiss on the star on his forehead.
A smirk split his face as his eyes danced with mischief and his hands went to her hips. He fell back onto his back on the bed, pulling her on top of him, and grinned at her, saying, “I want a real kiss.” before capturing her mouth in a sweet kiss. She blushed but kissed him back eagerly.
Bankotsu leaned into the kiss and slowly slid his hands down to cup her luscious cheeks just to test her reaction. Almost instantly her spine stiffened and she broke the kiss, wide-eyed, and huffed, “You perv.” as she slapped his hands away and glared at him while, thinking, “I can’t believe he did that- especially in front of my brother.”
Bankotsu raised a brow in silent question at her audacity to reprimand him for copping a feel of his second favorite feature of hers- the first one being her expressive eyes. It was followed by a chuckle of, “Sorry, I’ll try not to shock you so much the next time.” from said perv.
Souta and Hitomi both chuckled on their way over to retrieve their bags, causing the young priestess to blush and hide her face against the smug mercenary’s chest. Souta teased, “Get used to it sis, 'cause I get the feeling he’s a hands-on kind of guy. Eh, Bankotsu?” winking at Bankotsu who simply sent him a smug smirk in response.
Seeing the older girl’s obvious embarrassment, Hitomi giggled and then slapped her boyfriend’s arm playfully, scolding, “Come on, Souta we have packing to do.” and pointed to his clothes all over their part of the room, leading him away by the ear.
Bankotsu snickered and Kagome teased back, “Yeah, Souta, listen to your girlfriend.” as they walked back over to their side of the room. Souta’s head peered around the corner, sending a playful scowl at his sister, which earned a laugh from his sister and another ear-tug from his girlfriend.
When Kagome looked up into Bankotsu’s eyes, he warned seriously, “Don’t even think about tugging my ear.”
Kagome grinned, “Nah, I’ll just do this.” playfully yanking his braid, earning a playful scowl from him, before he tossed her onto the bed and climbed on top of her with a mischievous grin and started tickling her, causing her to shriek with laughter.
Grinning like a fool, he ‘tickle-tortured’ her for two minutes before she gasped, “I give!” He smirked and nodded in satisfaction moving off to the side of her and then pulled her up into his arms and stole a kiss from her tender lips. Just as she was getting into the kiss, he pulled back, reminding with a grin, “We need to pack.”
Feeling playful himself, Bankotsu raised his hand into the air behind her and smirked as he lowered it, sending a playful slap to her butt just enough to make it sting. When the shock and disbelief registered in her eyes, he ordered, “Get to it.” repeating the action.
This earned a startled yelp and a rather intense scowl from his feisty-tempered girlfriend, who huffed, “Watch those hands, pal.” before doing as she had been instructed.
Bankotsu sniggered quietly to himself as she carried her bag into the bathroom to collect her things, grumbling to herself about bossy guys. Bankotsu fell back onto his bed holding his stomach as he tried in vain to hold back his laughter.
When the laughter broke out as her mutterings increased, she stepped out of the bathroom and threw his dirty shirt at him, saying, “Alright Mr. Lazy-Butt, you put yours away.” and tossed his dirty clothes at him on the bed, earning snickers from the other two teenagers and a playful tackle from her boyfriend.
He smirked and lowered his face to hers, catching her full attention. He said, “Aw, come on, babe, I don’t want to pack. Will you do it for me? Please?” giving her his puppy-pout and making his bottom lip quiver.
She thought, 'Ah shit, he knows I can’t resist that lip-quiver.' Rolling her eyes, she pushed against his chest and warned, “One of these days your cute, little puppy-pout won’t work anymore.” as she stood to her feet and gathered up his clothes.
He thought, 'If that day ever comes, I’ll think of something else.' and said, grinning, “Thanks, Kags.”
Kagome shook her head, grinning, and said, “You play dirty, ya know?” stuffing the soiled clothes in his bag.
He smirked, correcting seriously, “Heh, I play to win.” and sent her a saucy wink, earning a girlish giggle from her.
He growled, “Come here,” wrapping his arm around her waist for a one-armed bear hug.
She grinned, wrapping her arms around his neck and said, “I think you owe me a nice foot rub on the way home.”
He asked innocently, “Oh you do, huh?” touching their noses.
She nodded, “Yup.” giving him a sly smile before her finger flicked his nose and she pulled away as his hands flew to cup his ‘injured’ nose.
He sent her a playful scowl and held his nose, sighing, “If you insist.” as he watched her finish shoving his dirty clothes into the pack.
Smiling broadly she answered, “You bet I do.” before tossing him his now closed bag, adding seriously, “You can carry them both, since I packed them.”
He gave an exaggerated sigh and muttered, “Slave driver.” earning a broader grin from her as they walked out the door toward the breakfast hall. She pulled out her cell and dialed the shrine. When the phone was answered she said, “It’s me, Mama, we’re having breakfast so we should be done by the time you get here.”
Sora said, “Okay, I’m on my way then.” and hung up the phone, picking up her keys on the way out the door.
Kagome hung up, saying, “She’ll be here by the time we all finish eating.” Bankotsu nodded and carried both bags over to the table. They sat down and waited for Souta and Hitomi.
Kagome hugged her tiger family happily in her lap and said, “This weekend was so nice.” almost sad to see it end.
Bankotsu beamed, saying, “Yeah, but we will have plenty more, I’m sure.” pecking her cheek. Kagome smiled widely and nodded while petting the head of her stuffed tiger-family that Bankotsu had won for her.
A few minutes later, Souta carried both his and his girlfriend’s bags and joined them while Hitomi walked beside him carrying her fish bowl and her panda, grinning from ear to ear.
They were served a nice breakfast consisting of buttery grits, toast, and sausage, with juice and milk to drink. The hungry teenage couples ate their meal, reminiscing about their favorite parts of the trip. Once they were finished eating, they turned in their room-key cards and walked outside to wait for Sora.
She arrived within minutes and they loaded their stuff into the trunk and piled into the car in the same seating arrangements as they had arrived in.
Sora grinned, saying happily, “I’m so glad to see everyone is wearing their pendants.” as she clicked her belt into place.
Hitomi said, “Yeah, thanks so much; it’s adorable.” running a finger to trace over the panda around her neck as she added, “and the meaning behind them is awesome!”
Bankotsu said, “Yeah, thanks.” as Kagome’s finger traced the star on his forehead.
Sora replied, “You’re all very welcome, and I meant what I said, you two. Welcome to the family.” earning grins from her kids and light blushes from their companions.
Kagome hugged Bankotsu’s waist and nestled her head on his chest, drawing his attention to her. Smiling, his hand settled at her waist and he pressed his cheek against her head.
Sora asked, “Did everyone enjoy their weekend?” Receiving a chorus of ‘yeahs’, she smiled and drove off towards the shrine.
Kagome whispered in his ear reminding amused, “You still owe me a foot rub.”
Bankotsu grinned agreeing, “When we get to the shrine.” not really minding in the least.
