Chapter 10
Kagome practically dragged Bankotsu out of the well, up the shrine steps and to the entrance doors in her excitement. All the way she was rambling on about how she couldn't wait to see her family and how she wondered how they would react to seeing him. She didn't wait to see if they had any visitors and she immediately flung open the doors and ran towards her house, Bankotsu trying not to fall as she dragged him after her.
When she reached the house, she burst through the door and shouted to her mother.
"Mom, I'm home!" she yelled excitedly.
"Oh, Kagome dear!" her mother exclaimed coming out of the kitchen with a big smile while drying her hands on a towel.
Her smile faltered only the slightest bit at the sight of Bankotsu with Banryuu slung against his shoulder. Then Mrs. Higurashi's eyes traveled down and saw the way her daughter's hand held the young man's hand and accurately guessed this to be the man her daughter had become involved with.
"Oh, what a surprise. May I assume this is the young man you were telling me about, Kagome?" Mrs. Higurashi asked her daughter.
"Yes Mom, this is Bankotsu, my boyfriend," Kagome said, beaming at said boy.
Bankotsu seemed a little uncomfortable, to say the least. Mrs. Higurashi gave him a smile.
"Hello, Bankotsu. It is a pleasure to meet you. Will you be staying with us during Kagome's visit home?" she asked politely.
"Hello. Yes ma'am," Bankotsu muttered more than spoke his answer.
"Well, I can see you were correct in judging him quiet, Kagome dear," Mrs. Higurashi said with a small giggle.
At that moment, Kagome's grandfather entered the room from the general direction of the back of the house.
"What is all the buzz about?" he asked grumpily before he spotted Bankotsu.
"Oh Kami, we are under attack! Kagome stand back! I may be an aged man, but I'm sure I can hold my own with this one," Grandpa said, starting to advance on Bankotsu.
Bankotsu took a slight step backward, a look of confusion on his face. Kagome tried to hold in a giggle as she stepped between her grandfather and Bankotsu.
"No, Grandpa! This is Bankotsu, my boyfriend," Kagome hastened to explain, for his sake, not Bankotsu's. She was sure if it came down to it, Bankotsu wouldn't be harmed in the least but her grandfather would be severely so if he angered Bankotsu too much.
Grandpa stopped with a slightly puzzled look on his old face.
"What happened to that Inuyasha fellow?" he asked confused.
Bankotsu scowled at the mention of his enemy. Kagome colored slightly.
"Inuyasha was never my boyfriend, just a friend. Bankotsu is my boyfriend now. Bankotsu, this is my grandfather," Kagome said as an introduction.
"Hmm," Bankotsu said with his eyes slightly narrowed at the old man.
Grandpa studied him in return before declaring his approval.
"Well, I cannot find fault with him. I don't care who he is as long as he is not a demon," Grandpa announced.
Bankotsu smirked. Just another thing he had over the trashy mutt he liked to call Inutrasha.
"Where's Souta," Kagome asked her mother.
"He stayed the night over with a friend. He should be home soon," Mrs. Higurashi said. "You two were just in time for breakfast. I had a feeling you'd be home today, Kagome, so I made a lot of food. Sorry, I didn't make your favorite though," Mrs. Higurashi apologized.
"That's fine, Mom," Kagome said as she pulled Bankotsu down to sit beside her.
Just then, Souta came running into the house and into the dining room.
"Hey, sis, you're home!" he shouted launching himself into a hug with Kagome, seeming not to notice Bankotsu sitting beside her.
"Hey Souta! Look, this is Bankotsu. I brought him back with me from the feudal era," she explained.
Souta spared a glance for Bankotsu for the first time, and was immediately drawn to his sword.
"Woah! What is that?" he asked, awed at the blade that is Banryuu.
Bankotsu gave a prideful smirk.
"This here is my Banryuu," he said.
"Wow! Can I touch it?" Souta asked hopefully.
Bankotsu pondered that for a few seconds.
"Okay. But only for two seconds then hands off," he warned and Souta readily agreed.
"Wow. This is cooler than Inuyasha's Tetsusiaga," Souta exclaimed.
Bankotsu smirked. "Of course it is. Anything I have is better than that of Inutrasha's," Bankotsu, looking over to Kagome with pride and love in his eyes, obviously thinking of how she was his now instead of Inuyasha's as he had chosen Kikyo over her.
Mrs. Higurashi witnessed this and couldn't hide her smile.
I'm so glad my Kagome finally has someone to love her and is happy, Mrs. Higurashi thought.
Okay. That's the end of this chapter. Please review!
