Chapter nineteen:

With Inuyasha, an hour before sunrise:

His frustration began mounting and he growled, shredding the material into tiny fragments. He began pacing back and forth in front of the well, waiting impatiently for Miroku and Sango to return.

Forty five minutes later, Miroku and Sango both arrived within minutes of each other. Seeing the hanyou pacing, Miroku asked, “What is it Inuyasha?” staring at his hackled friend.

Inuyasha braked out, “It’s about damned time you two showed up.” Nostril flaring as he fought to control his temper.

Sango asked, “What happened?” dismounting Kirara’s back. Shippo sensed the hanyou’s rage and trembled on Sango’s shoulder.

Inuyasha snarled, “The fucking Band of seven is back, and they’ve kidnapped Kagome.”

Stopping the remnants of the scarf into the ground, he snapped, “I found that bastard Renkotsu’s scarf on the ground by the well, and smelled a couple of different scents mixed in with hers. One was another female.”

Miroku’s eyes widened and he asked, “Are you sure it’s them? I thought they were dead?” and blinked asking, “A female, what would a girl be doing with them?”

Shoving his arms into his haori sleeves, Inuyasha huffed, “Hell if I know.” Adding, “And so did I, until Kikyo told me otherwise.”

Sango, who was also baffled why a female would be mixed in with the band of seven, asked, “What exactly did Kikyo tell you Inuyasha?” while attempting to soothe the shaking fox kit.

Inuyasha sighed and answered, “She told me they have been resurrected again and are hiding from Naraku.”

Frowning Sango asked, “Weren’t they working for Naraku?” becoming confused.

Inuyasha nodded and insisted, “Kikyo said they are now hiding from Naraku, but she doesn’t know why.”

--

Before anyone else could say anything, a loud rumbling filled the air and their eyes widened as they watched Ginkotsu and the others, along with two women; one which was Kagome, rolling towards them.

Inuyasha drew his sword and yelled, “You bastards are going to pay for taking Kagome!” and moved to charge towards Bankotsu, who was smirking with Banryu in a defensive position and had already hopped off of the tank, which had stopped fifty feet away.

Bankotsu asked, “Aw don’t tell me you missed me?” and grinned placing a hand over his heart mocking, “I’m touched hanyou.” Laughing as Inuyasha’s ire rose.

Inuyasha charged towards him yelling, “I’m going to send you back to your grave!” Bankotsu smirked and prepared for the combat.

Before they could do more than clash blades for the first time, Kagome jumped off of Ginkotsu and yelled out, “Sit boy!” running to move between Inuyasha and Bankotsu.

Inuyasha fell face first into the ground with wide eyes and growled, “What the fuck was that for?!” shoving his hands into the dirt and lifting himself up enough to glare at Kagome.

Bankotsu blinked and asked, “Huh? What happened?” before looking down and laughing his ass off as he noticed Inuyasha in the ground.

Watching the hanyou fall to the ground, Airikotsu smirked and said amused, “Ah so that’s why,” moving to push Bankotsu back over towards the group and whispering, “Let her talk to them a minute.”

Bankotsu pouted at having his fun interrupted, but decided it was worth it, just to see the mutt slammed to the ground. He sighed and tugged her back over to his group, sitting and waiting while Kagome explained everything to her group.

Miroku blinked watching as the female ushered Bankotsu away and wondered who she was, and why the mercenary was allowing her to drag him away.

Inuyasha shoved himself out of his hole and growled, “You better start explaining Kagome, right now!” not one bit happy about being sat, especially in front of his enemy.

Knowing she was going to have a long argument ahead, Kagome sighed and said, “They grabbed me as soon as I came out of the well.”

Inuyasha scoffed, “That still doesn’t explain what the hell you think you’re doing, sitting me when I was just about to send that bastard back to his grave.” anger simmering in his golden gaze as he glared at her. “I’m waiting.”

Kagome took a deep breath and said slightly annoyed, “I stopped you two bakas, because we’re all going to be working together.”

Inuyasha’s face turned red and he immediately bellowed, “Hell no!” glaring at her really hard, for even daring to say such a thing.

--

Bankotsu was watching the exchange from over by his group and sniggered. Airi slapped his arm lightly, in reprimand, and returned her attention back to the quarreling comrades.

Bankotsu pouted, “What? It was funny.” and rubbed his arm, before smirking. He was pleased to see her opening up around him again. He turned his attention back to the other team and thought determinedly, 'Besides, I still owe that flea bag and I will get a rematch.'

--

Kagome warned annoyed, “We don’t have a choice Inuyasha, so calm down and listen to what I have to say, or else I will say it again.” planting her hand on her hip.

Seeing her unusually perturbed friend’s mood, Sango encouraged, “Go ahead Kagome, we’re listening,” and nodded for the priestess to explain.

Sighing in relief Kagome nodded her thanks to Sango and explained, “I had a dream last night…. Well really it was more like a horrible nightmare.” and her face changed to one of deep sorrow.

Catching the sadness in her voice, Miroku turned his attention to the priestess, asking seriously, “What was it about, Kagome?”

She motioned for everyone to sit and proceeded to fill them in on the dream she’d had.

Afterwards, she said, “So you see Inuyasha, none of us have a choice in this matter.” staring directly into the golden eyes she loved so much.

Inuyasha fell silent, with his hands still shoved in his haori sleeves, and sat there sulking. He really didn’t trust Bankotsu or his gang and wanted nothing to do with them.

Miroku sighed heavily, before asking, “Have you told them of the dream?” indicating the opposing group and staring at his young priestess companion.

She nodded answering, “Yeah, I told them on the way here.” though her eyes remained on the hanyou.

Sango sighed and mentioned seriously, “If Midoriko revived them, then this really is serious; because she never did anything lightly.”

Miroku nodded and concurred, “I agree, a priestess of her caliber wouldn’t ever joke about something like this. She revived them, so she must know what she is doing.”

Sighing heavily he added, “I guess it can’t be helped then.”

Staring back up at Kagome, he asked, “But, how can we be sure that they won’t just kill us afterwards and take the jewel?”

--

Bankotsu had walked over and heard the monk’s question. He replied firmly, “Because I already gave my word to the priestess, and besides, me and my group don’t need the stupid jewel.”

Kagome’s eyes widened as she finally realized that something, or rather some things were missing. She gasped, “Wait, what happened to your jewel shards?”

Bankotsu raised a brow, asking, “You’re just now noticing?” and replied smugly, “We don’t need them.”

Kagome frowned asking, “I thought that your group relied on the shards?” and then said, “Hey! What do you mean ‘just now’? I haven’t exactly been able to worry about the shards, and your lacking them, until right now.” feeling a bit defensive.

Bankotsu chuckled and replied seriously, “I mean we don’t need them. The ghost was nice enough to bring us back without them,” ending with a smug smirk plastered on his face.

Thinking something strange was going on, Inuyasha sniffed deeply and said, “You stink like sweat.” with his brows furrowed.

Shippo inhaled and said, “Hey, he’s right.” staring at the former cadaver completely perplexed.

Bankotsu snorted defending, “That’s because it’s fucking hot out, genius.” glaring at the mutt.

Inuyasha scoffed and informed hi group, “I still think this is a mistake.” and continued sulking, while glaring at the mercenary leader.

Bankotsu sneered, “I’m not any happier about this shit then you are, half breed,” earning a growl from the hanyou. Bankotsu smirked adding seriously, “But since we are stuck with t, we may as well try to make the best of it, right?”

Before the two alphas tempers could rise any higher, Airi, who had been standing behind Bankotsu, spoke up saying firmly, “Calm down everyone,” as she moved to stand at Bankotsu’s side.

Blinking Miroku asked, “Who are you?” as his eyes landed on the beautiful woman before them, stunned by the sheer presence of such a woman, among the group of killers. Judging by the weapons on her waist and the armor he saw, he figured she was some type of female warrior.

She opened her mouth to reply, but Bankotsu beat her to the punch, saying, “This is Airikotsu.” and motioned for the rest of his group to approach. Slowly they approached.

--

While Bankotsu’s back was turned, Miroku stood up and walked over to the enchanting beauty. She blinked and then frowned, as one hand automatically flew to the sword at her waist, and her feet spread apart, as if she were expecting an attack.

Intending to use his usual pick up line, Miroku grabbed her other hand and stared into her eyes, requesting, “Beautiful girl, will you do me the honor of bearing my child?”

Instantly her eyes narrowed and she yanked her hand free, snapping, “Are you insane!?” before hissing, “Keep your hands off me, creep!” and doubled up a fist, punching him square in the gut, causing the shocked man to gasp and fall forward with his free hand going to his stomach.

At the same time, Bankotsu spun around with rage in his eyes and his hand flew out grabbing the monk, causing the staff to fall from the monk’s hand; in favor of trying to free his now constricted windpipe.

Bankotsu slowly lifted the monk high above his head, with his hand around the monk’s neck and spat out venomously, “She’s mine, so back the fuck off, before I personally castrate your scrawny ass using the dullest dagger that I can find.” glaring dangerously at the monk, with the iciest glare he had ever seen.

Miroku fleetingly thought that even the most dangerous of killers would be scared of that glare. As the ruthless mercenary leader’s words began to register, Miroku’s eyes widened big as saucers and he quickly nodded, while gasping for breath. His oxygen starved lungs demanded air.

Disgusted Bankotsu opened his hand and dropped the letch to the ground, where he landed hard on his ass. Bankotsu narrowed his eyes even more, warning frigidly, “You had better not forget it.” before snaking a strong arm around Airi’s waist and roughly yanking her to his side, standing in an unmistakably possessive gesture that spoke volumes, as he eyed the monk with disdain.

Knowing how dangerous the mercenary’s temper could be, Airi tenderly cupped Bankotsu’s face and stared him dead in the eye, urging, “Simmer down Ban,” literally trying to soothe the savage beast.

Snorting Bankotsu buried his nose in her hair and deeply inhaled her scent, growling possessively, “Mine,” as his face nuzzled the side of her neck, and his teeth began raking against her skin, as he began nibbling her neck.

She ran a hand up and down his back in an effort to calm him down, pressing his face into her body, and repeated, “Settle down.” as a mother would while soothing a child.

Bankotsu pulled back, His hand went into her hair fisting her ponytail almost painfully, as he yanked her head back, crushing his lips against her in a consuming kiss.

As he continued devouring her mouth hungrily, demanding a response from her, Airi’s eyes fluttered shut and she wrapped her arms around his neck to keep from falling, before she began kissing him back.

Bankotsu’s stiff posture slowly began to relax and he lightened up a little, but deepened the kiss, pulling her body flush against his. She continued kissing him, glad that he was finally calming down.

When the need for oxygen broke through to his brain, the mercenary leader pulled back and settled for nibbling on her lips.

Airi’s fingers traced the underside of his chiseled jaw and she pulled away smiling at him, and then buried her head on his chest, hugging his waist.

Panting to regain his breath, Bankotsu continued calming down, and held her close to him, with a satisfied smirk.

--

Sango’s eyes went to the monk and she said, “One of these days hoshi, you’re going to push the wrong guy and end up in serious trouble.” with a stern look of disapproval in her eyes, before turning her back to him.

As soon as he hit the ground, Miroku slowly backed away from the frightening mercenary. Hearing Sango’s comment, his eyes winded even further as he rubbed his bruising neck, assuring, “Not anymore.”

Inuyasha snickered, “Real smooth there letch.” Miroku sat pouting.

Kagome blinked a few times breaking free of her shock, before saying, “I was about to tell you,” staring at Miroku.

He muttered, “Be quicker next time.” and continued pouting. Shippo was too scared to utter a word, as he trembled in Kagome’s arms.

--

Jakotsu walked over seeing his leader kissing Airi’s neck again, and whined, “Ugh! Big brother, please just give it a rest already.” Earning an amused chuckled from his leader and a blush from the woman.

Jakotsu waved to Inuyasha saying, “Hey cutie.” batting his eyes flirtatiously at Inuyasha.

Eyes widening Inuyasha jumped up and stood behind Kagome, saying, “You stay away from me, weirdo.” glaring at the cross dresser, making sure his body was out of the freak’s line of sight.

Offended, Bankotsu chucked a small rock at Inuyasha, warning, “Don’t upset him.” defending his best friend.

Inuyasha growled, “Just keep him away from me, and everything will be fine.” eyes narrowing at the man who had thrown the rock at his head.

Miroku was standing behind Sango in a similar form, and said, “Same here.” Sango just rolled her eyes and stepped away from him.

Jakotsu sighed dramatically and pouted out his lower lip. “Aw, you two are no fun.” He said, planting his hand on his hip.

Bankotsu chuckled and said, “I guess you’ll just have to keep trying to find someone else Ja.” and slung his arm around Jakotsu’s shoulder, leading him and Airi back over to the others.

Jakotsu climbed onto the tank and complained, “So unfair,” pouting in his unique way.

Chuckling Bankotsu helped Airikotsu onto the Ginkotsu’s back, and hopped up beside her.

He sat down bending one knee and balanced Banryu against his leg, with it standing up, and hollered out, “Whenever you’re ready mutt.” waiting to move out. His freehand wrapped around Airi’s waist, pulling her into his side. He grinned and she smiled at him.

Sheathing his sword, Inuyasha scowled and ordered, “Mount up guys, we’re moving out.” as he bent down for Kagome to climb on his back.

Kagome slung her backpack on her back, and climbed onto Inuyasha’s back. Inuyasha stood up and waited for Miroku and Sango to climb on Kirara. Shippo leapt onto Miroku’s shoulder and the two groups began heading out.
