Bankotsu's Lenience:
As they continued making their way across the vast open land, Kagome bounced on the top of Ginkotsu next to the mercenary leader.
Bankotsu smirked at her impressed. "You know, you're not half bad miko."
Kagome smiled at him slightly amused by his choice of words. "You think so, huh?"
He stared deep into her eyes. "I know so," he graced her with his care free boyish grin.
Her heart felt lighter and she felt butterflies in her stomach as she looked at his grin. 'He's actually kind of cute when he's like this.'
His tanned face spread into a sinfully seductive smirk. He lowered his head and leaned in to press his lips against hers.
Kagome felt her heart skip a beat and she closed her eyes slowly leaning towards his lips as well.
Just before they could connect, Ginkotsu rolled to an abrupt halt and a strong wind blew towards them. They jumped back with their eyes flying open and turned their heads in the direction of the disturbance.
The fierce whirlwind stopped ten feet away from where Ginkotsu had stopped and Koga stood there with wrath in his eyes. "Unhand her this minute, you filthy corpse!"
Bankotsu smirked. "Well, well, well, looks like the wolf has come out to play, eh?"
Koga's blue eyes narrowed on his enemy, before swinging towards his beloved. "Don't worry Kagome, I'll save you."
She blinked and came out of her state of shock. "Koga, what are you doing here?"
Koga grinned proudly. "I smelled the vile stench of corpses on the wind and as soon as I caught your nicer smelling scent mixed in with the filth, I decided it was time to come rescue you."
Bankotsu scoffed before replying in a smug tone, "Kagome's just fine, aren't you miko?" He nuzzled his chin against her neck, smirking at the enraged wolf demon's reaction.
Koga's spine stiffened and he began snarling and bared his fangs. "Oi, hands off my woman, you disgusting freak of nature!" Vibrant blue eyes shot daggers at the man who dared even touch what was his.
Bankotsu argued, "Fuck off wolf, Kagome is mine!" slowly rising to his feet, with Banryu in his hand, as his own eyes narrowed dangerously at the stupid wolf that had dared voice claim to what was his.
He moved to block Kagome from the wolf's view. "Don't even think about touching her either," He leapt off the tank and engaged the wolf in combat.
As he caught a deep whiff of Kagome's scent, the wolf's eyes bled red with outrage at the acrid smell of the corpse's essence all over her. Koga dodged the huge halberd that was swung at him and flexed his claws. "Bastard! I'll kill you for daring to defile my future mate."
Bankotsu smirked. "I told you wolf, she's mine." Adding insult to injury, he boasted, "She will never be yours." before swinging his halberd toward the leaping wolf again.
Fury clashing in his eyes, Koga vowed seriously, "I will never forgive you for touching my mate or for killing Ginta." He tried to kick the weapon from the leader's hand, making Bankotsu's grip on the weapon tighten even more as he knocked the wolf away.
Chest heaving with rage Bankotsu retorted icily, "You're the bastard who killed our brother Kyokotsu and I won't forgive you for that either!" Running forward he slammed his halberd toward the wolf again.
As both of the warriors continued fighting, Kagome hopped off of Ginkotsu with her bow and arrows. "Stop this both of you! Please stop fighting already." Her heart gripped with immense fear for both of the combatants.
Spotting his brother's murderer Hakaku became so enraged at the loss of his brother, that he jumped into the fray. "I'll kill you!" HE attacked Renkotsu with his claws and fangs bared.
Renkotsu quickly leaped away from the enraged wolf and pulled his gourd to his mouth.
Hakaku fought with sheer hatred as he continued trying to avenge his brother's death.
Kagome yelled, "Renkotsu, Hakaku, stop it!" before swinging back to Koga. "Stop this now," She glared at both him and Bankotsu.
Koga continued trying to get close enough to disarm the mercenary leader. "Kagome, why the hell aren't you shooting him?"
Kagome's eyes narrowed. "I don't want to have to shoot any of you, now stop this stupid fighting!"
Koga sneered, "Don't tell me you actually like this murderous bastard?" He swung his gaze to her for a split second to glare at her with condemnation. Spotting the blush on her face, he snarled. "You can't be serious?" spitting on the ground.
Enraged beyond all thinking, Koga ridiculed, "I thought you were smarter than that Kagome. I thought you loved that worthless mutt Inuyasha."
Growling Koga continued in a condescending tone, "I never thought you would ever stoop to aiding, much less bedding the enemy. I can't believe you lowered yourself to accept becoming this low life's whore." He glared at her with disdain and betrayal deep in his eyes.
Kagome gasped taking a step back and her jaw dropped. 'Did he just call me a whore?' Kagome lowered her head briefly with hurt and anger swirling in her eyes. 'And here I thought he was my friend.'
Her heart squeezed painfully in her would have never believed Koga of all people would ever say such a cruel thing to her. 'Shows how wrong I was, eh? He didn't even bother to get my side of what happened before jumping to conclusions.' She felt something inside of her snap and her shoulders sagged.
Bankotsu blocked the wolf and the hit him with Banryu, before punching him in the face. "Don't you ever talk to her like that again!" He used Banryu to fling the wolf across the field.
Having finally reached her limit, Kagome slowly raised her head to glare at the wolf demon. "Enough!" She shot an arrow to fly between the enraged warriors, shocking them both as was evident from the widening of their eyes.
Anger fueling her actions, she glared at Koga. "How dare you ever say such filth about me? Who the hell are you to judge me?"
She sneered, "You can't even keep a promise you made to Ayame when you were kids, and yet you dare to pass judgment on me?" Her small frame trembled with the force of her anger.
Koga quickly dodged another strike of Bankotsu's massive weapon and ran over to Kagome, ready to grab her arm and try to verbally tear into her some more, while shaking some sense into her.
Jakotsu gripped his weapon and flung it at the wolf."Oh no you don't! You've done enough!" He moved to defend Kagome, showing that he had finally come to accept her into the group.
Jumping back Koga sneered, "What, are you sleeping with them all now?"
Kagome's bow raised and she fired another arrow keeping Bankotsu and Koga from fighting. She spoke in an icy tone, "Don't you ever speak to me like that again," scowling at her former friend.
Before anyone could stop him, Jakotsu sent his snake-like sword at the wolf's legs and the shards flew out along with blood to stain the ground.
Kagome saw Bankotsu's smirk and fired an arrow just missing Koga. She ordered in a flat tone, "Take Hakaku and leave." Turning her back to him and walking over to stand by Ginkotsu.
Bankotsu held Banryu to the wolf's throat glaring at him. His tone was icy. "Be grateful she is sparing your worthless life. Now get you filthy carcass out of my site before I decide to take the life she has so generously spared."
Koga bent to retrieve the shards and Bankotsu backed him up with the tip of his blade still at the wolf's throat, before retrieving the shards. He snorted. "I'm losing what little patience I have left." Eyes narrowing at the stunned wolf, he pressed the tip into the wolf's skin enough to draw blood. "Leave and don't ever come back." His eyes were hard and serious.
Koga's jaw clenched as he glared at the mercenary and then Kagome for a second. At the increase of the blade piercing his skin, he turned tail limping over to his fallen comrade and carefully helped him to his feet. With blood running down their legs, the wolves were barely able to limp away.
Once they were completely out of sight, Bankotsu clenched the shards in his fist. Looking around at his wounded men, he ordered, "Mount up, we're leaving!"
They helped each other over to the tank and climbed onto Ginkotsu. Not wanting to incur their leader's wrath, the group remained unusual quiet. Even Renkotsu and Jakotsu didn't quarrel like normal.
Bankotsu stood in front of Kagome and tilted her chin up. He eyes softened a bit. "Are you okay?" He used a thumb to gently brush away her lingering tears.
She nodded.
He brushed a kiss against her forehead. "Forget what that stupid wolf said, he was just jealous." He wrapped an arm around her to give her a one armed hug.
She closed her eyes leaning into his comforting embrace and sobbed a minute, before pulling back. "We need to go somewhere so that I can tend to everyone's wounds."
He nodded and helped her onto Ginkotsu, before jumping up to sit beside her. He wrapped his free arm around her.
She leaned into him closing her eyes, fighting off more tears.
Bankotsu ordered, "Ginkotsu, find us a decent place to camp." He began running his free hand down Kagome's back trying in the only way he knew how, to offer her some comfort.
Kagome nestled into his strong embrace and just enjoyed being held for a while.
"Gersh! Okay." Ginkotsu began plodding across the ground again.
