Chapter six:

Bankotsu had been sitting at the table debating whether or not she'd been gone long enough and if he should go after her. Just before standing to do so he heard the soft foot falls approaching the kitchen. 'Ah there she is,' he thought pleased.

His head turned and his indigo eyes widened in shock. He blinked as his pulse sped up a bit. 'She sure does clean up nice,' was the thought at the front of his mind, as his eyes drank in the sight before him.

The pale green kimono hugged her chest and waist like a second skin molding perfectly to her sinful curves. The corner of his mouth titled into a pleased smirk as he thought proudly, 'She's perfect, and she's all mine!'

Airi noticed his probing eyes slowly traveling the length of her body and lingering on her chest. She cleared her throat loud enough to bring his attention to her face as she asked unamused, "Are you done staring yet?"

Bankotsu noted the lash of her tone and smirked walking over to her. He stated bluntly, "You're beautiful Airi," gazing intently into her eyes warm brown eyes.

Airi’s cheeks tinted pink as she replied, "Thanks I guess," unused to being blatantly stared at by such a potent male.

Bankotsu noticed the blush and stated, "This kimono fits you very nicely," lightly running his fingers down her bare arms, sending a slight shiver through her.

She gazed into his eyes and the blush darkened. "Um, where are the others?" she asked, trying to get his mind off her and the kimono.

Bankotsu assured, "They'll be here for lunch. You will meet them then." Taking her hand he led her over to the table and invited, "Sit so we can talk a bit," pointing to the chair next to his.

Airi sighed relieved now that he wasn't keeping direct contact anymore. She asked, "What about?" absentmindedly twirling her hair nervously.

The innocent look she was giving off both confused and amused him. "Am I making you nervous?" he asked moving to stand behind her.

Airi flipped her hair covering part of her cleavage and sighed. "A little," she admitted, knowing full well he already knew the answer.

He frowned as he realized what she'd done and reached out, brushing the hair to her shoulder. She tried to suppress a shiver as she felt his fingers brush across her full breast. Frowning she unconsciously moved the hair back over her cleavage.

He frowned deeper and used both hands to sweep her hair back ordering, "Leave it," as she moved to take her hair back. Frowning she dropped her hand and he swept her hair into a ponytail; pulling the ribbon out of his pocket and gracefully tying her silky strands back.

Reaching his arms to her chair, he turned her to face him, informing her, "That's much better," nodding in satisfaction.

She grumbled, "The bodice shows far too much," trying to tug it up a little.

His eyes lit with amusement as he placed his calloused hand over hers removing her hand. He took one finger slipping it onto the top of her valley and slowly trailed it over the valley almost as if in reverence; whispering into her ear seductively, "I like it just fine the way it is," as his finger tugged it back down into place.

He chuckled as she pouted. "You would," she said, slapping his hand away and tugging it back up.

He smirked tugging it back down and threatened, "Now leave it, unless you'd rather walk around naked," eyes twinkling with amusement.

She huffed sending him a glare as she smacked his hand away, growling frustratedly, "Fine whatever."

His blue eyes lit with amusement as he leaned over placing a kiss on the top of her head. Encasing her between his strong arms, he suggested, "Why don't I show you the garden?"

Knowing she didn't really have much of a choice, she nodded and he helped her stand to her feet. Placing his hand at the small of her back, he led her outside and into the wide garden.

Airi’s frown didn’t last long. She gasped at how beautiful the place was. As far as the eye could see, there were flowers of every kind. "It's beautiful,“ she breathed in awe.

Bankotsu nodded. "It's one of the reasons we made this place our hide out," he explained, urging her toward the flowers by pushing slightly on her lower back.

Having always loved nature Airi sighed responding, "I can see why, it’s absolutely perfect." Slightly shocked that it hadn't been destroyed during what she was sure had to have been a blood bath as they 'claimed' the castle.

She sighed and bent over to pluck one of the stunning roses. Bankotsu warned, "Be careful, there are-"

"Ouch," she yelped, as one of the sharper thorns pricked her soft thumb.

Bankotsu grinned and finished, "thorns," as he reached over to pluck the flower from her hand.

She glared at him and was about to tell him she knew that, when he lifted her bleeding thumb to his lips and placed his mouth over it. She gasped in shock and her eyes widened as he began suckling her thumb.

He carelessly tossed the flower to the ground and reached into his pocket; pulling out a long strip of material. He gently eased her finger from his mouth and tore the material with his teeth. Raising her hand into the air, he began to tie the cloth around her finger, tying it tightly enough that she yelped again. He playfully admonished, "Next time, be more careful," sending her a boyish grin.

She blushed and yanked her hand free, before whispering, "Thanks," and picking up a new flower. She carefully dethorned it and tucked it into her hair; turning around asking, "What do you think?"

He took in the sight before him and answered, "Beautiful," not actually referring to the flower. She smiled and began walking down the path, noting all the various types of flowers. Feeling almost giddy with happiness, she threw her arms out to her sides and began spinning in circles.

Bankotsu smiled as he watched her playing in the garden for a moment; drinking in her striking beauty. He smiled and shook his head, watching her bask in the glow of the sun illuminating her hair and acting very much like a care free child.

She continued spinning around until she became a little dizzy and fell down laughing. Smirking Bankotsu pounced on her and began tickling her ribs. She shrieked laughing and gasping for air.

Deciding two could play that way, she tackled him and began tickling him back. They began rolling around just laughing and playing much like kids do.

Bankotsu pinned her beneath him and was about to steal a kiss, when he heard Jakotsu cry out horrified, "Bankotsu! What are you doing?" sheer horror in his grey eyes, as his fist tightened on the boar leg he was holding; breaking the bone.

Annoyed by the unwanted interruption Bankotsu sighed and climbed off her answering harshly, "Nothing Jakotsu," Reaching a hand down to her, he pulled Airi to her feet and began dusting himself off.

Jakotsu scowled complaining, "It didn't look like nothing to me and now that beautiful kimono is filthy!" glaring at the wretch wearing it before pouting. Airi blushed and began busily brushing herself clean.

Bankotsu sent his third in command a deep scowl asking, "What did you need Jakotsu?" clearly not happy about being questioned about his actions.

Jakotsu huffed answering sulkily, "I'm bored big brother, I want to go see my beloved Inuyasha."

Tired of the same old argument Bankotsu released a heavy sigh. "Jakotsu you know damn well that we're keeping a low profile for now. We can't go after Inuyasha until after we get rid of his wench and she hasn't returned yet. Now, I don't want to hear one more complaint about wanting to see that mutt. Am I clear?" he commanded, feet planted firmly shoulder width apart with his muscular arms crossed over his wide chest and glaring at the feminine man.

Jakotsu pursed his painted lips and sighed, "Fine," before stomping off towards the castle grumbling under his breath.

Airi sighed shaking her head and asked, "Dare I ask what that was all about?" knowing that she probably shouldn't.

Bankotsu rolled his eyes, relaxing his stance and grumbled, "You don't want to know."

Not liking to go into any kind of situation unprepared, and knowing that knowledge was a key factor in all things; Airi tried again. She gave him an amused smile suggesting, "Try me,” as she plucked some blades of grass off his shoulder.

Bankotsu sighed heavily and stared her in the eyes, answering, "Alright, Inuyasha is a half demon that we were hired to kill." Muttering under his breath, “That Jakotsu is absolutely obsessed with.” while shaking his head.

Airi blinked and asked, "By?" waiting expectantly with a hand planted firmly on her shapely hip.

Bankotsu answered, "Ironically, another half breed." Airi blinked again. Taking her by the elbow, he rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, the others are waiting," and proceeded to lead her back inside the castle.
