Chapter Thirteen Pt II:

Many hours later Bankotsu closed the gate and dropped the boar in the middle of the area. He saw Kagome washing the bedding. He walked over and refilled the water bucket with fresh water.

"What's up Kags?"

"Hi Ban, just cleaning is all."

"I got us another wild boar." He winked. "I figured maybe some stew tonight and we can cook the rest to have a quick snack readily available for after we leave."

"Awesome! I'll go start the veggies."

He chuckled and started skinning, then cutting up the boar meat. He dug a deep fire pit and then staked most of the meat over the fire.

Kagome dropped the carrots, potatoes, fresh water, and the rest of the meat into the pot and put it over the previous smaller pit.

Bankotsu leaned Banryu against the cabin and rolled his shoulders.

"What did you do today?"

"I basically just walked around making sure everything was packed and nothing would be forgotten."

He nodded. "Once the meat is ready we can let it cool and then wrap it in some of the hide I have drying over the line."

She smiled. "Guess I'm rubbing off a bit on you too, eh?"

"Maybe a little," He chuckled. He grabbed a lock of her hair and let it fall through his fingers. "Your hair seems silkier than usual."

She smiled. "Thanks. That new shampoo you showed me how to make really gets rid of the dead ends."

He grinned. "It makes the scalp less itchy too. I'm glad it worked for you."

"I guess I kind of got pampered with having the smoother shampoo from my time readily available."

He chuckled. "Yeah well at least it works."

She nodded. "So does the sand from the bottom of the river or hot spring for exfoliating the skin."

"I won't even pretend to understand that."

She giggled. "Basically it means the skin is cleaner."

"Ah." He cleared his throat. "I was thinking if you wanted to we could drag the futons and bed furs out here for the night. It won't be too cold yet and then we could gaze at the stars or something."

She smiled. "That sounds like a great idea."

He nodded. "Well it's as close to camping in that 'T P whatever' as we're likely to get."

She kissed his cheek. "Thank you for remembering."

He cleared his throat and shrugged. "You shouldn't forget important events just because they are gone."

Her eyes dimmed. "Still thanks." She cleared her throat. "So, where did you go today?"

He shrugged. "I figured you'd prefer boar over fish for our last night here." He sat by the stew fire. He stared at her a moment. "Brining you here seems to have improved your outlook."

'I could pretend I don't know what he's talking about…' She shrugged. "Crying won't change things. Besides life goes on right?"

'It looks like she's starting to heal.' He nodded. "With your training you should be more than capable of defending yourself from bandits and any humans now."

She grinned. "All thanks to you." She passed him a shoe sized oblong wooden box.

"Speaking of which, this is for you. To thank you for all you've done for me."

"Um, thanks." He rubbed the back of his neck. "What is it?"

She chewed her bottom lip. Her stomach fluttered and she wiped her palms along the sides of her kimono.

"Open it and find out."

He blinked and opened the lid. His eyes widened and he carefully picked up the chain, pulling the gift up between them. 'How did she get these?' A single eyebrow rose. "These were in the old training room, eh?"

"Hai, I um hope you don't mind?"

He chuckled. "I'd almost forgotten they were in there." He scratched the side of his head. "So what's with the fur?"

She brushed some her hair out of her face. "It's so that they won't chafe the skin."

"I thought the reason behind shackles was to punish?"

He watched her cheeks tinge pink. 'She looks cute when she's blushing.' He dangled the shackles by his forefinger and lightly swung them side to side.

"Or is there some other purpose behind these?"

She swallowed. She dropped her hand to her knee and watched his eyes follow her hand before coming back up to meet her eyes.

"Well, in my time they are skinnier and thinner. They're used for - "

He scooted a bit closer to her.

"Used for what?"

She unconsciously scooted just a bit closer to him and coughed.

"Um for, well..."

"Tell me."

She ducked her head.

"They're called fuzzy handcuffs and they're used during…. Um, well you get the idea."

He grinned deviously and his eyes danced with mischief. He trailed a finger along her bare arm and wiggled his eye brows suggestively.

"So, are you going to help me try these out?"

The blush crept down to her collar bone. "You're such a hentai."

"You're the one who made them."

She cleared her throat and stood up. "I figured you could use them the next time you um, whatever."

He grabbed her arm and she turned to face him. His eyes locked to hers. "I'm sure they will come in handy eventually." He winked. "Thanks."

"You're welcome." She blushed and hurried over to the cool water spring.

His laughter rang in the air as she walked away.

'So she has a bit of a wild side after all, eh?'

He put them back in the box and carried them inside. 'I can't believe she took the time to make me a gift.' His finger traced them before he closed the lid with a smirk. He packed them in his small bundle and then carried the futons outside.

He spread the futons out on a nice patch of grass. He smiled as he scooted them so they were touching. He whistled and walked back over to the stew.

A few minutes later she returned and stopped to check the stew. She walked inside and pulled her small bundle out of the room they had been sharing. She carried it outside and laid it by the futons. She returned to the cooking fire and sat down.

They sat in a companionable silence as the stew cooked.

Bankotsu blinked. 'She actually took the time to make me a gift.' His chest swelled. 'Only one other person besides Tadao has ever given me a gift before.'

The air felt heavy and moist. The grass swayed like the waves of an ocean. Wind whipped Kagome's hair into her face.

Bankotsu frowned. 'Damnit! Why did she have to come up again?' He snorted. He picked up a heavy stone, lightly bouncing it in his hand and stared at the fire.

Kagome focused on the stew until it was finished and then doled it into two bowls. She frowned. 'I hope I didn't upset him.' She held up the bowl in front of his face. "Food is done."

He blinked and then accepted the bowl. "Thanks."

She sat down across the fire and titled her head. "I didn't upset you did I?"

He blinked. "Eh, why would you think that?"

She frowned. "You've been sitting there brooding since I returned."

He blinked. "I have? Sorry." He slowly ate his food.

"So what's with the brooding?"

"Just thinking," he shrugged.

'Yeah right.' She ate some of her stew. "This is twice now you have tried to avoid my question."

'You'd think she'd learn to leave it alone by now.' He snorted and continued eating his stew.

She sighed and ate her stew. When they were finished eating she sat next to him.

"So, are you going to tell me what has you so upset? It has something to do with what you wouldn't talk about before, doesn't it?"

"Leave it alone Kagome."

He walked over to sit on his futon and sat down with his arm draped over his bent knee and the other leg out straight.

She frowned. 'Like hell I will.' She followed him and sat behind him. She rubbed his shoulders. "Come on, I told you my problems."

He grunted and fell silent. His shoulders tightened under her touch, but he didn't push her away.

"You're so tense."

"I've been hauling things around a lot."

She sighed and continued kneading his shoulders until they finally started to loosen up.

"So what have you been doing besides hunting?"

"I've just been out."

She rubbed his neck and smiled when his head rolled back.

"So you spent all day just doing whatever, eh?"

"Pretty much."

He closed his eyes allowing her massage to relax his stiff shoulders and neck. A smile crossed his lips.

She nibbled his ear lobe. "At least you're finally relaxing."

"You're good at that."

She nuzzled his earlobe and licked the outer shell.

"At what?"

"Rubbing my shoulders."

She smiled and moved to straddle is lap. "Really?"

He wrapped his arms around her hips and smirked. "Hai

"I bet I can help you relax."

She smiled and kissed his jaw. He rolled his neck giving her better access. She smiled and kissed his adams-apple. He sighed and pushed her head closer to his neck. She lightly suckled on his admas-apple. He ran his fingers through her hair.

"What do you have in mind?"

She smiled at the slightly rougher tone of his voice and pushed him to lie on his back. Her fingers opened his haori and she smiled at him.

"I was thinking a full upper body massage."

"Sounds good to me." He removed his haori.

She smiled and adjusted so she was straddling above his waist. Her hands rubbed circles over his pecks.

"You are really tense tonight."

He stared into her eyes. "I've had a lot on my mind lately."

She rubbed her fingers into the muscles of his chest and back up to his shoulders, feeling the tension melt away. Her hands gently worked their way down to one of his biceps.

"Like what?"

He sat up, catching her by the waist and grinned.

"Are you trying to seduce me?"

"Maybe."

He growled and captured her mouth in a fierce kiss. When he pulled back they were slightly panting. His voice came out hoarse. "If you play with fire, you're bound to get burned."

She grinned and flipped the end of his braid. "Maybe I like playing with fire."

He chuckled and allowed her to finish massaging his biceps. Her hands slowly rubbed up and down his chest.

"Seriously, it's unusual for you to be so quiet while dinner is cooking."

He stilled her hands and stared into her eyes. "You're not going to give up are you?"

She shook her head side to side. "I never do. Not when I really want something."

He sighed and released her hands. "So what do you want?"

She slid her hands behind his neck and kissed him. He kissed her back. She pulled back and nibbled his neck.

"The same thing you do."

'I doubt that.' He closed his eyes. "Don't start something you don't intend to finish."
