Chapter 5
Kagome sighed in contentment in Bankotsu's arms. They sat with his back braced against the Dry Well and she sitting in his lap with his arms wrapped around her. She loved these moments after they would finally come up for air from practically kissing each other's faces off and just sit holding each other.
I had been a month since they had first become "official" and Kagome had met Bankotsu almost every night for a few hours at a halfway point between their separate camps after all her friends had dozed off to dreamland. Bankotsu would have loved to keep her all night but as Kagome logically pointed out her friends would be quite suspicious if she was suddenly tired all the time. And she was sure she would be because the majority of the time she spent with Bankotsu was spent making out and if she was making out all night then she would be very tired in the morning. So Bankotsu had to content himself with the 2 to 4 hours he was allowed with her.
Kagome solved the whole thing with Inuyasha by pretending it didn't happen. On that fateful day, after she had left Bankotsu and washed up (thank the Gods that Kagome had remembered Inuyasha and Shippo's enhanced sense of smell), Kagome had arrived back at Kaede's hut a little damp but in control of herself. Everyone was surprised that Kagome had came back calm and alone, thinking that when Inuyasha had rushed off so quickly he had went to search for Kagome. It was quite late so Kagome with Kaede's help got started on cooking the evening meal.
Not 5 minutes after she had arrived, Inuyasha had appeared in the doorway. He avoided Kagome's eye and for a moment she feared that he knew about her seeing him in the forest with Kikyo but his body language communicated ignorance to that fact. He just seemed embarrassed at seeing Kagome after what he had done with her incarnation. Kagome didn't act as you might think she would have. She treated Inuyasha as she would have any other time before she had seen him in the forest with Kikyo.
Things had continued on their normal string of events aside from Kagome's new nightly meetings with Bankotsu. Bankotsu had been strategically been setting up camp down wind from Kagome's and far enough away not to alert Inuyasha of their presence. Every night before parting they estimated how far they would travel the next day and when the next night came Bankotsu would wander out to a place that was about midway between their camps and wait, knowing Kagome would find her way to him because she could sense his jewel shards. Then they would start the process over again, starting with making out then talking about what they had done that day, and occasionally they would speak of defeating Naraku by joining forces.
Now in the present, Kagome worried about what she would tell Bankotsu. In the morning she was supposed to be going home for 5 days, meaning she wouldn't see him for the next 4 nights and there was no telling what he would do if she didn't show up with no explanation. Probably blow our whole secret by finding Inuyasha and demanding to know where "his girlfriend, Kagome" was, she thought with a grimace.
"What's wrong, Kagome?" Bankotsu asked seeing her face.
Kagome worried her lip wondering how to tell him. An irrational voice in the back of her mind was telling her to tell him the truth. Why shouldn't she tell him the truth? She trusted him with her life and over this past month that she had spent with him, had grown to love him. So why not share her secret of where she really came from?
"Well…I have to leave for a few days and wont be able to see you for a while," she told him slowly, trying to build up revealing the truth.
Bankotsu frowned. "Where could you possibly be going that could keep us from seeing each other?" he asked, puzzled.
Kagome inhaled slowly. "The future," she blurted.
I think I'll stop right there. Until next time in Secret Love!
