Chapter 4
Kagome gasped as Bankotsu's arms wrapped around her.
"Kagome! What's wrong?" Bankotsu asked, alarmed by her tears.
Kagome looked up at him but his face was blurred by her tears. "Inuyasha," is the only word she could get out.
Bankotsu looked at her, confused. What about Inuyasha could make Kagome run away crying? Kagome continued to cry and it didn't seem like she planned to elaborate her explanation so he took her up in his arms and carried her the few remaining yards to the well and sat down against it with Kagome in his lap. He stroked her hair, letting her take her time. He waited.
After a while, Kagome calmed down and her sobs quieted to silent tears. She sat up in Bankotsu's lap and wiped her eyes with the back of her hands. She looked at Bankotsu with a chagrined half smile.
"Sorry I cried all over you. I know it put you in an awkward position," she said.
He gave her a small smile. "Kagome the only thing I'm worried about is why you were crying in the first place. Come on and tell me about it. I just want to understand," he told her.
She squirmed uncomfortably and her cheeks pinkened. To keep him from seeing her face, she laid her head on his chest. Then she relayed the tale of what had happened up until she had run into him. She couldn't help the stray tears that had escaped during the retelling.
As he listened to her words, he felt rage and hate fill him. How could that bastard do that?, he thought. Kagome is the purest person I have ever met. She has so much kindness in her and I can almost feel the warmth in her chocolate brown eyes. If I could I would kill him for hurting her. His time with Kagome had been the best moments of his life. With her, he could drop the dangerous façade he wore with others. He just be himself and he didn't have to worry about looking tough or in charge.
He didn't know a lot about relationships, but he knew what he felt for Kagome was something that he had never felt for any other person before. This feeling for her wasn't the same as what he felt for his brothers and it was more than the lust he felt for the village whores he had sometimes sampled. He could only guess that it was the beginnings of love.
When Kagome had finished, he took her face away from his chest to look her in the eye.
"Kagome you deserve more than that bastard. He isn't worth your tears and he never will be. He doesn't deserve your love if he can't appreciate it. You should save it for some one willing to love you instead of hurt you. Someone who, unlike that Inutrasha, will protect you and not run off to a clay pot when the job is done. That much you deserve, Kagome," he told her.
Kagome had smiled softly at the "Inutrasha" and she stared thoughtfully at Bankotsu for a moment when he had finished speaking. She could clearly see what he was feeling in his eyes and she wondered if her emotions were just as transparent.
"Are you trying to tell me what I think you're trying to tell me, Bankotsu?" Kagome asked with a grin.
Kagome could barely see the blush under his tanned skin but she saw it. But it quickly vanished and was replaced by a smirk.
"Well I don't exactly know what you're thinking seeing as I earn my living as an assassin and not as a psychic. But what I'm trying to tell you is that I want to be the person you save your love for. I want to be with you, Kagome," he said.
Kagome looked up at him with her delight at his words written all over her face.
"I'd love to be with you, Bankotsu," she told him giddily.
Bankotsu smirked. "Well it's official. You're my woman," he said.
Hearing him say this reminded Kagome of Kouga and she grimaced. "I'd much prefer the term girlfriend. I'm your girlfriend and you're my boyfriend," she told him.
He frowned at the new term but shrugged it off. "Okay," Bankotsu said, and then he smiled.
"Good. Now that I'm your girlfriend, I get to do something I've wanted to do for a while," Kagome informed him.
He gave her a suspicious look. "What?" he asked.
Kagome gave him her version of a smirk. "This," she said.
Then she kissed him.
Did you see that coming? Hope you liked and I'm really sorry about the hold up.
