A Quick Detour:
They traveled together many hours without a single complaint from the future priestess. Bankotsu glanced at the woman beside him and noticed her face was flushed with heat and her forehead was covered in sweat.
Being used to traveling hours on end without stopping, the heat didn't affect him as much, but today was a rather humid day thanks to last night's storm. "We will stop at the clearing just up ahead. There is a river near it where we can cool off a bit. Plus, we can catch some fish for breakfast."
Noticing how high the sun was in the sky he looked at her sheepishly and scratched the side of his head. "Uh well, I guess it would actually be lunch by now." He sent her a boyish grin.
Her soft laughter floated like music between them. "Thank you. The suggestion of cooling off sounds really good right now." Her stomach rumbled a protest. She blushed and stared at her stomach. "I guess I am a bit hungry now too."
He chuckled. "Let's get you fed then." He led her by the hand through the underbrush and over under a large shade tree, which also shaded a good portion of the river closest to it.
"Is right here good enough for you?"
Her eyes lit with pleasure and she smiled. "It's perfect."
She pulled off her bag and plopped it down beside her. She pulled out one of her blankets and laid it out on the grass.
He lowered Banryu from his shoulder and gently rested it against the tree. He unlatched his armor and placed it beside his treasured weapon. "You get some wood and start a small fire. I'll get the fish."
Bankotsu undid his obi and dropped his haori by his belongings. He slowly slid his hakamas off. He sent her a mischievous grin, while allowing them to slip from his fingers. "Ever gone skinny dipping?"
She blushed and squeaked, "No."
He sighed dramatically. "Too bad, it can be a lot of fun." He winked at her. "We will have to try it sometime."
Trying not to ogle his robust body too much, she flushed and mumbled, "Go get the fish."
He laughed and silently slipped over to the water.
Despite telling herself not to, Kagome found that she was unable to keep from watching Bankotsu as he swaggered over to the river.
She stood mesmerized. Muscles rippled under the bare skin of his shoulders when he dipped his hands into the water and raised them to his lips.
Her eyes widened in shock as he was splashed water on himself. She watched entranced as the moisture slowly slid down his toned skin, caressing every inch of his chest and torso, followed by his hands.
Brown eyes followed the droplets down to his rock hard abs. She licked her lips in appreciation of the glorious male perfection before her eyes. She felt her panties growing damp.
He turned his head in her direction. "Mm that's much better."
Her heart fluttered in her chest and she felt her traitorous body melting under those potent blue eyes and that sinful smirk.
She twirled the end of her hair around her finger tip, while trying not to blush at having been caught checking him out again.
He sent her a smoldering gaze and invited huskily, "You're welcome to join me."
Heat crashed on her face. "G… go get the fish." Her eyes stared at the ground and she turned her back to him. 'I can't believe he said it like that.'
A deep chuckle rumbled from his chest before he quietly made his way into the water up to his knees. He smiled at the contrast of the cool water against his legs. 'I'm alive again and it feels great!'
Kagome shifted her weight from one foot to another and chewed her bottom lip. As if she were a moth drawn to his flame her eyes returned to gaze at the nearly naked male in the river.
He bent over presenting her a very nice shot of his naked cheeks as the thin material lay nestled between his cheeks. Even in a relaxed posture she could see the definition of muscles in his thighs and buttocks.
'Oh my,' A delicate hand lifted to fan her face.
She remembered how she'd felt those same cheeks grow taunt as he shoved inside of her. Her face heated while her womb clenched. Moisture leaked onto her panties. Her eyes shot wide open. 'Kagome you naughty pervert, stop staring like a shameless schoolgirl and get the firewood!' She mentally berated herself.
Reluctantly she tore her gaze from the tempting site he was presenting her and started gathering some sticks and small stones.
Kagome plopped the wood down fifteen feet from the edge of her blankets and piled the stones to one side. She dug a fire pit and dumped the wood inside. She circled the pit with the stones and then stuck a match and tossed it into the pit. The flame caught and quickly licked the first two sticks, before spreading to encompass the small bundle of sticks.
The sudden thud of something heavy hitting the river bank drew her attention. A medium sized trout lay flopping on the shore desperately trying to get back to the water which was a good ten feet away.
Her eyes went back to the river and her breath hitched. She watched as his muscles moved under the skin when he stood up and heaved another good sized trout into the air, throwing it backwards over to the shore. Her eyes followed the rivulets of water running down his back.
Feeling her intense gaze he chuckled. 'So the little minx has been watching me, eh?' He turned around and stared her dead in the eye. A single brow rose.
Kagome's cheeks burned. She just knew that she was caught.
The smug grin on his handsome face told her that she was definitely caught in the act. He puffed out his chest and strutted over to the shore.
He took his time raking his eyes down her body and then back up again, perusing her as she had him. He already knew what she looked like naked and imagined her without her clothes on. He licked his lips, feeling his ego swell as her eyes watched his tongue intently.
He bent over picking up the fish and slung them over his shoulders. His eyes stayed locked on her as she watched him walk over to her.
He moved so that his lips hovered barely an inch above hers as if he were about to kiss her.
Hundreds of tiny butterflies brushed the inside of her belly and she swallowed.
His breath fanned her lips. "Are you ready to eat?"
She licked her lips and nodded. Her lips fairly tingled awaiting his kiss as she puckered for him.
He pulled back and smirked. "Good because I'm starving." He squatted down and stabbed long sticks into the fish mouths down their throats. He placed them over the fire to smoke.
She blinked a few times and sat on the edge of the blanket. 'What just happened?'
Bankotsu chuckled at the dazed expression of her face and pulled a dagger out of his haori. He bit the dagger between his teeth and quickly climbed up the tree.
He cut down two coconuts, making sure they wouldn't fall on her, and then replaced the dagger in his teeth and leapt of the branch. He landed gracefully like a cat on his feet and stood up grinning.
"Is something wrong?"
She blinked. "Uh no," she shook her head side to side. "Thanks for the coconut." She looked away feeling a bit embarrassed.
He nodded and sat in the middle of the blanket. "The milk will make the fish not seem so bad, the fruit will finish the meal and then we can use the hollowed out gourds for carrying water."
Her eyes widened. "Wow, I never thought of that."
He shrugged. "When you travel the lands as often as I do, you learn to adapt."
He picked up the coconut and held it in the palm of his left hand. His right hand did a ridge hand chop and the coconut split where his strike landed. He grinned and pulled it apart. He held both halves out to her. "Here you go."
She blinked and then grinned. "Wow that was so cool! Thanks."
He chuckled. "You're welcome." He picked up the second one and hand chopped it and then ripped it open. He brought half of the opened coconut to his lips and drank down the sweet thin milk. He bit the inside and chewed.
She followed suit.
He used his dagger to cut the fruit from the rind and piled the fruit chunks into one rind. He quickly gutted the other three rinds and cleaned them in the river. He took down four large leaves and fashioned covers for the rinds.
He stabbed a round hole at the top of each side and inserted a sturdy stick. He used a thick vine to fashion a carrying strap and then moved to the next one. When all four were finished he filled them with water and tied the leaves over them.
He wiped the sweat from his brow and checked the fish. He passed her a stick of smoked fish. "Eat up, because we won't be stopping again until we reach our destination after this."
She nodded and ate her fish. "This is really good." She rolled the fish on her tongue savoring the unique flavor.
He smiled. "It's because of the wood that it turned out this tasty." He bit into his fish and swallowed it. "Just be careful to spit all the bones out."
She nodded and did so. "I never realized that you know so much about camping and stuff."
He sent her a boyish grin. "There is a lot that you don't know about me."
She frowned.
He chuckled. "But learning is half the fun." He grinned on the inside as she blushed. 'She's so easy to make blush, it's almost cute.'
He cleared his throat." Besides we have plenty of time to learn about each other."
She blinked, "Eh, we do?"
He nodded and stared into her eyes. He spoke with a serious tone. "Kagome, you need to realize that I have no intention of going anywhere anytime soon. You and I have something happening. I'm not sure what exactly it is yet, but I'm also not about to up and leave."
She blushed and admitted softly. "I like having you around."
He smirked. "I like being around you too." His hand gently brushed a stray stand of hair behind her ear. "Now eat." He motioned to her half eaten fish.
She blinked and then ate her fish.
Bankotsu smiled and sat across from her, finishing his own meal. 'I'm not going anywhere,' he thought as he watched the young woman eat.
She was definitely a woman now, thanks to him. He'd made certain of that one and done a damned good job of it, thank you very much. His smirk widened and his chest puffed with pride.
His mind slowly replayed how exploratory she had become after their first session last night. He remembered the feeling of her tongue running along his shaft and wasn't surprised to find his penis twitching awake at the memory.
He glanced down at it and shook his head with a half grin. 'The little minx is definitely a born seductress. Just the memory alone, is enough to stir 'little Banryu' awake.'
He chuckled and placed his fish bones into the fire, covertly shifting so his fondushi wasn't as tight.
She titled her head to the side and looked at him. "Is something wrong?"
Bankotsu blinked. "Yeah… it's hot. Care to join me for a swim after our food settles?"
She stared at the water longingly. "I forgot my swim suit."
He grinned. "You could always go naked. It wouldn't bother me in the least to lose this fondushi and skinny dip." His eyes wriggled suggestively.
She blushed furiously and glared at him. "No," her voice was firm.
He pouted. "Aw, it's not like anyone but I would see you."
She shook her head adamantly. "You never know when someone will just walk by." Her blush deepened at the very thought of it.
He sighed and rolled his eyes. "You women and your modesty," He snorted and waved offhandedly. "Fine then leave your strange underclothes on. Didn't you once mention to that slayer that it was like a swim suit?"
He frowned and rubbed the back of his neck. "Eh, whatever that is?"
Her eyes widened. "You were there?"
He chuckled. "I just happened to be walking pass and overheard a tiny bit of it."
Referring to the last conversation she and Sango had during their dip in the water to cool off while waiting for the guys to return.
Her eyes narrowed. "How much did you hear?"
Bankotsu shrugged. "Just the part about the underclothes, after that I left."
She stared at him skeptically.
His jaw tightened. "I had some business to attend, mainly hunting down my lunch." He scoffed. "Besides girl chatter gets boring fast."
She raised a brow questioningly.
He glared. "Why would I waste my time listening in on boring girl talk."
He shuddered. "It got creepy enough when Ja would blab on and on about which guy he wanted to fuck and how." He defended. "No thanks. Leave the girl talk to the girls."
She blinked and nodded. "Okay, and yes it does cover as much as a bathing suit. Or close enough."
He grinned. "Does this mean you will join me in the water and cool off a bit?"
She stared at the ground and blushed. 'It is really hot today and it's not like he hasn't already seen me naked.' Her blushed deepened.
'I really don't need to pass out from a heatstroke either.' She swallowed her nervousness and began stripping her skirt and shirt off. She kicked off her sandals.
He grinned and scooped her into his powerful arms. Before she had a chance to change her mind he ran over to the river. "Hold your breath."
Her eyes widened and she inhaled about to yell at him.
He took a deep breath and jumped feet first into the river with her still in his arms.
She bit the inside of her cheek to keep from shrieking as the cold water hit her hot skin and they plunged beneath the surface.
Instinctively her arms wrapped around his neck and she closed her eyes.
His hold on her tightened slightly and he kicked to the surface.
They broke the surface both gasping in air.
"Feels good, ne?"
She blinked and the huffed. "Next time give a girl a little more warning, will you?"
He laughed.
She splashed some water at him. "I'm glad we decided to cool off a bit."
He shook his hair free of its braid and laughed. "It's probably from the storm last night."
She stared at his chin and nodded. "Yeah, humidity rises after a storm."
He blinked and frowned out her. "Eh, what's hum idity?"
"Never mind," She giggled and splashed more water at him.
He huffed. "Oi," and splashed her back.
She blinked and then grinned and ducked under the water. 'It's payback time,' She swam over to him and pulled his legs out from under him.
He gasped and then went under water.
She came up laughing and then shrieked as he surfaced with a predatory look on his face.
She squealed and tried to swim away, but he grabbed her ankle and grinned before diving under the water with her in tow.
They swam underwater playing tag for a while and surfaced laughing like carefree kids. Enjoying the cool water, they took turns dunking each other and swam under the water chasing each other.
After a couple hours of horseplay she swam over to dunk him but his arms pinned her to him by the waist.
She shot out of the water and laughed as one hand tickled her ribs.
He chuckled as she squirmed uselessly trying to get free of his grasp. He continued tickling her enjoying her giggles.
She became breathless from laughing.
He stopped and scooped her into his arms. As he stared into her startled eyes, he smiled and carried her to the shore.
Knowing they needed to get going soon, he sighed and let her down. "You should probably wash up before we head out. Inuyasha does have strong sense of smell."
Her eyes widened. 'If Inuyasha smells our scents mixed, there won't be any chance to talk.'
Bankotsu snorted. 'Stupid half-breed!'
She nodded and grabbed her bag.
He sat on the blanket and moved to lie on his back, staring up at the sky.
She moved into the water and pulled out her shampoo and body wash. 'What are we supposed to tell the others?' She dunked her head and began lathering her hair.
'Inuyasha can be such a hot head sometimes. He won't be happy about Bankotsu joining us.' She bit her lip and tried to focus on washing her hair. Remembering how Bankotsu fought, she sighed. 'Those two are going to come to blows, I just know it.'
Bankotsu smirked and propped himself up on his elbows to watch her bathe. His eyes followed every graceful movement. 'She's really something.'
When she dunked under the water he sighed and fell onto his back with a huff. 'Damned half breed is going to be a handful.' He smirked. 'Especially when he figures out that she is with me now.'
His ears caught the sound of splashing in the water. He blinked and sat up. In the water she was shaking her head as if to free it from the last suds, which had her breasts bouncing.
Bankotsu stretched his arms over his head and grinned. He mentally scoffed, 'Well tough shit, he's just going to have to get used to it.' He cracked his knuckles.
She dove under to rinse the suds away again. Her breasts pushed up out of the water as she surfaced.
Kagome felt much better after bathing and slowly made her way to the shore.
He watched the water sliding down her body and licked his lips, fighting the urge to use his tongue to lap up the water.
Unaware of his thoughts she bent over and pulled her skirt up her legs.
He chuckled under his breath. 'Oh yeah, I could definitely get used to this.'
He stared up at the sky and frowned. 'After two already?' He sighed and slowly rose to his feet. 'Damn, it's time to go,' he slipped on his hakamas.
By the time she slipped on her blouse and her shoes, he'd donned his haori, armor and shoes. He dipped to refill their homemade canteens, before standing up. He cocked his hip to one side waiting.
She reached over and grabbed her pack, bow, and quiver of arrows.
She smiled. "Ready?"
He settled Banryu against his shoulder and nodded.
She gathered up her blanket and shook it out before shoving it in her pack.
They set off down the path.
"I feel much better after that bath. Thanks for suggesting it."
He shrugged. "I figured you would want to be fresh when we talked to the others."
She smiled. "Hai. They shouldn't be back for a couple days yet. So we should have time to figure out how we are going to tell them what Midoriko said."
He chuckled. "That's good." His eyes focused on the path before them. His shoulders relaxed a bit. 'As much as I enjoy her company, I'm not ready to confront that idiotic half breed yet.' He shook his head not looking forward to the inevitable confrontation with the mutt and her friends.
He cast her a sideways glance and smiled. "That will give us a couple days to get used to traveling together too."
She smiled and felt butterflies brush inside her stomach again. 'I wouldn't mind a couple days alone with him either. He actually seems almost nice right now.' She bit her lip. 'I hope he stays like this.'

He chuckled. "Let's get you fed then." He led her by the hand through the underbrush and over under a large shade tree, which also shaded a good portion of the river closest to it.
"Is right here good enough for you?"
Her eyes lit with pleasure and she smiled. "It's perfect."
She pulled off her bag and plopped it down beside her. She pulled out one of her blankets and laid it out on the grass.
He lowered Banryu from his shoulder and gently rested it against the tree. He unlatched his armor and placed it beside his treasured weapon. "You get some wood and start a small fire. I'll get the fish."

Heat crashed on her face. "G… go get the fish." Her eyes stared at the ground and she turned her back to him. 'I can't believe he said it like that.'
A deep chuckle rumbled from his chest before he quietly made his way into the water up to his knees. He smiled at the contrast of the cool water against his legs. 'I'm alive again and it feels great!'
Kagome shifted her weight from one foot to another and chewed her bottom lip. As if she were a moth drawn to his flame her eyes returned to gaze at the nearly naked male in the river.

"Never mind," She giggled and splashed more water at him.
He huffed. "Oi," and splashed her back.
She blinked and then grinned and ducked under the water. 'It's payback time,' She swam over to him and pulled his legs out from under him.
He gasped and then went under water.
She came up laughing and then shrieked as he surfaced with a predatory look on his face.
She squealed and tried to swim away, but he grabbed her ankle and grinned before diving under the water with her in tow.
They swam underwater playing tag for a while and surfaced laughing like carefree kids. Enjoying the cool water, they took turns dunking each other and swam under the water chasing each other.
After a couple hours of horseplay she swam over to dunk him but his arms pinned her to him by the waist.
She shot out of the water and laughed as one hand tickled her ribs.
He chuckled as she squirmed uselessly trying to get free of his grasp. He continued tickling her enjoying her giggles.
She became breathless from laughing.
He stopped and scooped her into his arms. As he stared into her startled eyes, he smiled and carried her to the shore.
Knowing they needed to get going soon, he sighed and let her down. "You should probably wash up before we head out. Inuyasha does have strong sense of smell."
Her eyes widened. 'If Inuyasha smells our scents mixed, there won't be any chance to talk.'
Bankotsu snorted. 'Stupid half-breed!'
She nodded and grabbed her bag.
He sat on the blanket and moved to lie on his back, staring up at the sky.
She moved into the water and pulled out her shampoo and body wash. 'What are we supposed to tell the others?' She dunked her head and began lathering her hair.
'Inuyasha can be such a hot head sometimes. He won't be happy about Bankotsu joining us.' She bit her lip and tried to focus on washing her hair. Remembering how Bankotsu fought, she sighed. 'Those two are going to come to blows, I just know it.'
Bankotsu smirked and propped himself up on his elbows to watch her bathe. His eyes followed every graceful movement. 'She's really something.'
When she dunked under the water he sighed and fell onto his back with a huff. 'Damned half breed is going to be a handful.' He smirked. 'Especially when he figures out that she is with me now.'
His ears caught the sound of splashing in the water. He blinked and sat up. In the water she was shaking her head as if to free it from the last suds, which had her breasts bouncing.
Bankotsu stretched his arms over his head and grinned. He mentally scoffed, 'Well tough shit, he's just going to have to get used to it.' He cracked his knuckles.
She dove under to rinse the suds away again. Her breasts pushed up out of the water as she surfaced.
Kagome felt much better after bathing and slowly made her way to the shore.
He watched the water sliding down her body and licked his lips, fighting the urge to use his tongue to lap up the water.
Unaware of his thoughts she bent over and pulled her skirt up her legs.
He chuckled under his breath. 'Oh yeah, I could definitely get used to this.'
He stared up at the sky and frowned. 'After two already?' He sighed and slowly rose to his feet. 'Damn, it's time to go,' he slipped on his hakamas.
By the time she slipped on her blouse and her shoes, he'd donned his haori, armor and shoes. He dipped to refill their homemade canteens, before standing up. He cocked his hip to one side waiting.
She reached over and grabbed her pack, bow, and quiver of arrows.
She smiled. "Ready?"
He settled Banryu against his shoulder and nodded.
She gathered up her blanket and shook it out before shoving it in her pack.
They set off down the path.
"I feel much better after that bath. Thanks for suggesting it."
He shrugged. "I figured you would want to be fresh when we talked to the others."
She smiled. "Hai. They shouldn't be back for a couple days yet. So we should have time to figure out how we are going to tell them what Midoriko said."
He chuckled. "That's good." His eyes focused on the path before them. His shoulders relaxed a bit. 'As much as I enjoy her company, I'm not ready to confront that idiotic half breed yet.' He shook his head not looking forward to the inevitable confrontation with the mutt and her friends.
He cast her a sideways glance and smiled. "That will give us a couple days to get used to traveling together too."
She smiled and felt butterflies brush inside her stomach again. 'I wouldn't mind a couple days alone with him either. He actually seems almost nice right now.' She bit her lip. 'I hope he stays like this.'
