A/N: This turned out way longer than originally planned, so I've sectioned it into smaller chapters so as not to over stimulate or bore the readers. :P
The Morning After:
When morning came the two teenagers found themselves reluctant to get up. Kagome rolled over and snuggled into his chest. She relished the achy feeling between her thighs, deciding it had been more than worth it to feel such exquisite pleasure. She pressed her lips together and closed her eyes. 'I don't want this to end.'
Bankotsu was the first guy to ever make her feel both desirable and wanted. He'd put her needs and her pleasure ahead of his own last night. Even as a recently deflowered virgin, she knew enough to know that most guys only cared about satisfying their own lust.
'Something tells me that he's different though. Hasn't he already proven that?' For the first time since arriving in the Feudal Era, she didn't want to race off and see Inuyasha. She wanted to stay right where she was, in his strong arms.
Bankotsu held her warm body close to him. 'Aw shit morning already?' Last night, for the first time since his brothers' deaths, he'd felt the loneliness fade away. 'If she leaves I'll be alone again.' His arms unconsciously tightened around her. His throat tightened and what felt like a fist closing around his heart, deep in his chest.
He stared at her soft rosy face and sleepy expression. 'She's the first person who has treated me like a person instead of just as a mercenary, since I met Ja.' His finger tips reverently brushed against her cheek in a soft caress. His lips pursed into a pout. 'I don't want to be alone again.'
Normally he wasn't one for wasting time on sentimental garbage, but after dying two times, you tend to have a different perspective on things.
He looked at the angel in his arms. 'Was it her?' He mentally scoffed and shook his head. 'Nah, why would she resurrect the 'enemy'?'
His eyes darted to the small jar in the top of her opened bag. 'She has some jewel shards, but I don't need those. Those stupid shards got everyone, including me killed again.' He blinked. 'So, if it wasn't her, then who brought me back again and why?'
Finally the silence around them registered and he blinked. The storm outside had finally dissipated.
Light filled the cave, causing the startled young lovers to jump up. Bankotsu automatically went for Banryu and clenched the handle tightly. He stood protectively between Kagome and the blue mist filling the cave.
Kagome's eyes bulged and her hands clutched his discarded haori to her naked chest. With a pale face and frozen expression of shock, she used one hand to hold the bottom of it over her crotch.
With his shoulders back, chest out, and chin lifted, Bankotsu looked intimidating despite being stark naked. His bicep flexed with Banryu poised to strike. He glared at the mist.
"Kagome," A disembodied voice echoed through the cave.
Bankotsu and Kagome both blinked.
The light brightened to near blinding. He quickly raised a hand to shield his eyes from the harsh glare, while watching for anything to approach.
The phantom of a female warrior appeared before them and the light faded.
An audible gasp was heard from the futuristic priestess. "Midoriko…?"
Bankotsu's brows furrowed. "You know this specter?"
Kagome slowly nodded. "She's the creator of the Shikon jewel."
His eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.
The ghost smiled warmly. "Hai child, it's me." She smiled at the mercenary warrior. "I mean you no harm. In fact, I am the one who revived you this time."
Bankotsu's lips pressed into a tight thin line and his nostrils flared. His grip on Banryu's handle tightened. "Why?"
Midoriko stared into his eyes. "In order for you to aid my descendant," She nodded indicating a shocked Kagome.
Kagome squeaked. "Me?"
Midoriko nodded.
Kagome blinked and frowned. "I thought Kikyo was your descendant?"
The ghoul shook her head side to side. "I have been waiting for this day."
Bankotsu sent her a probing gaze. Deciding she was no threat or at least nothing he couldn't handle, he grunted and lowered his weapon. He strode over to his discarded clothing, snatched up his fondushi and yanked it on. He huffed at the intrusive phantom.
He reached over and tossed Kagome her clothes in a silent command to get dressed.
His eyes stayed on the gawking ghost irritated by the way she was sizing him up. He quickly jerked his hakamas up his legs and tied them at the waist. His eyes narrowed. "Oi," he yelled bringing her attention to his face and off his body. "Are you going to stare at me all day or did you actually have something important to say?"
Midoriko smiled. "You look and act so much like him."
Bankotsu snorted, folding his arms across his chest and casually leaning against the wall behind him. "Who the fuck are you talking about, wench?" He eyed her suspiciously.
Midoriko sent him a bemused smile. "You're great grandfather."
Bankotsu's eyes widened. 'Is she shitting me?'
She chortled. "Ah, I see."
He raised a brow.
She shook her head. "I take it no one told you then?"
His casual air faded and he pushed off the wall, pinning her with a cold stare. "Told me what?" He took a menacing step towards her.
She raised a brow. "Am I going to have to put a subjugation necklace on you too?"
His nostrils flared. "Just try it you - "
Fully dressed Kagome asserted herself between the mercenary and ghost. She placed a hand on his broad chest.
Bankotsu blinked and slowly stared at the small hand on his chest and then up to his lover from the night before in confusion.
She stared at the older priestess. "Midoriko, why are you really here?"
Midoriko turned her attention to her descendant and spoke firmly. "Naraku must be defeated and you must return balance to the world. You will need his help, even your hanyou friend cannot do what must be done."
Bankotsu snorted and bit out condescendingly. "Once again I'm merely a tool, eh?" His head shook side to side.
Kagome placed a slender hand, gently on his arm. She lightly rubbed his arm.
He blinked and slowly stared at her.
She sent him a warm smile and lightly squeezed his tense forearm. "You're more than that to me Bankotsu."
Her words reached his heart in a way that no one else ever could. His hand patted her hand and stared at the ghost. "What exactly do you require of me?"
"Join Kagome and her friends in their quest to destroy Naraku. Use your improved Banryu and the new attacks to protect her."
She stared at Kagome. "You know already what is required of you my dear. Trust your warrior to protect you and aide you when you need it the most."
Suspicion crowded in and Bankotsu's shoulders tensed. His lips pulled into a deep frown. "Did you make -?"
"Lie, what has happened with you two was strictly by your choices. I have not manipulated either of your feelings in any way."
He searched her eyes finding only honesty there and his body slowly relaxed. He turned to stare at Kagome and searched her eyes. Finding only genuine affection there, he planted his feet shoulder width apart and opened his arms.
Without hesitation she walked into his arms and hugged him close. Her face nuzzled against his bare chest. A happy sigh escaped her when his arms closed around her. She simply felt safe when he held her like this.
Bankotsu closed his eyes and inhaled her fresh cheery blossom scent mingled with sweat. His hand stroked her hair and he calmed down. 'Whatever is happening, as long as Kagome is with me I know it'll turn out alright.' He blinked and mentally scoffed. His jaw stiffened and a sneer of derision crossed his lips. 'When did I get so sentimental?'
Kagome snuggled tighter and rubbed her cheek against his warm chest.
He released a long drawn out sigh and felt himself relax. 'Ah hell if it means more nights like last night and mornings like before we were interrupted, it'll be worth it.' Though a sneer remained on his face, his heart felt lighter.
Midoriko smiled as she watched the young couple embrace. They didn't know it yet, but she could see the deep abiding love building between them. 'These two will save the world together.' She thought confidently.
She allowed them a moment of peace in each others arms, before clearing her throat to bring their attention back to the task at hand. "It will not be easy for you young warrior, but you must work together with her friends in order to destroy the wicked Naraku."
His spine stiffened and he snarled. "You expect me to work with the half breed that killed my brothers?" His mood darkened considerably and he glared a silent challenge at the apparition who had dared ask such an outlandish task.
Kagome pulled back and stared at him. She spoke firmly. "Actually none of us killed them." She wasn't going to let him blame her friends for something they never did.
Blue eyes narrowed at her and his nostrils flared. "What?"
She sighed and planted her hands on her hips, staring up at him. "Kouga destroyed Kyokotsu. Sesshomaru killed Mukotsu after he used one of his potions and tried to force me to marry him."
Bankotsu's eyes widened. "He did what?" He scowled at the wall. 'Mukotsu… You used your poison to try and force an innocent girl to your bed?' His hand clenched into a white knuckled fist. 'Baka, you're damned lucky you're already dead!' The fact that Kagome had been that girl only served to strengthen his ire.
His open hand raised and he smacked his fist against it. His cheeks tinged a slight pink as he stared coldly at the wall and whispered. "I'm sorry for what he did and tried to do."
She cupped his face, holding it place when he tried to yank it away. She saw the guilt in his eyes. "I don't blame you Bankotsu."
He blinked and pulled her hands off his face.
"You shouldn't blame my friends for your brothers' deaths either. Inuyasha and the others fought them yes, but we never killed any of them."
He dropped her wrists and began pacing with his hands clasped behind his back. 'As much as it grates on my nerves to say it, she has a point. I may hate that baka half breed, but I shouldn't blame their deaths on him.'
His jaw clenched and a muscle beside it ticked. 'Naraku is the one who never divulged the needed information to us. He's the one who sent us into battle misinformed.'
His face darkened and he increased pacing the floor of the cave. He thought of his deceased brothers. 'I will avenge you all. Count on it!'
Kagome gasped when he grabbed her arm and swung her around to face him. Determination burned in his eyes.
He let go of her arm and pinched the bridge of his nose while squeezing his eyes shut.
"Bankotsu," She asked worriedly.
He opened his eyes and lowered his hand. "Your friends aren't going to like this one bit." He muttered.
She straightened her shoulders. "You let me handle them – especially Inuyasha."
He stared at her and crossed his arms over his chest. "I have a couple conditions of my own."
She blinked. "What are they?"
He clenched his teeth before answering. "No one comes between us Kagome. I don't know exactly what is happening between us yet, but I sure as hell don't intend to give it up either. You are with me now and by damned it's going to stay that way no matter what your friends or anyone else says about it." His hand balled into a tight fist.
'He really wants to be with me.' Her eyes became wet and her stomach fluttered. She swallowed against the thickness in her throat. She'd never had anyone so determined to stay with her before. It was a little overwhelming, but also a little exciting.
He declared in a voice wrought with determination. "I won't let anyone stop us from being together Kagome." His eyes dared her to defy him.
She looked deep in his eyes, searching for any sign of what he was feeling. His shoulders were tense and his eyes told her there was absolutely no way he would back down on this. Heat blossomed in her belly and her heart filled with joy. She nodded. "I want the same thing."
A handsome smirk crossed her face as his muscles relaxed and he pulled her into his arms. His mouth crashed down on hers and she eagerly opened to him.
He kissed her passionately and possessively. He pulled back and stared into her mahogany orbs. "It's settled then. I will join you and your friends." His face hardened. "But don't expect me to take orders from that hanyou. I'm my own man and that's not about to change."
Her lips planted a soft kiss on his jaw. "I understand." Her arms wrapped around his waist and she sighed softly, closing her eyes. 'I'm glad I wasn't just a one night stand.'
Midoriko smiled and nodded. "Remember to always trust each other. If your trust in each other wavers, the past will repeat itself and Naraku will be victorious."
Kagome opened her eyes and turned her attention the priestess. "You're referring to how Naraku tricked Inuyasha and Kikyo into believing they had betrayed one another, to get his hands on the jewel."
Midoriko nodded. "You're very perceptive child."
Bankotsu blinked. "Huh, what do you mean?" He rubbed the back of his neck feeling like he'd somehow been left out of the loop.
Kagome pulled back to face him. "Fifty years ago before Kikyo pinned Inuyasha to the tree, Naraku pretended to be Inuyasha and attacked Kikyo and told her that he never intended to become a human. She felt betrayed and went after him to retrieve the jewel."
He blinked a few times as his brain absorbed the information. "Oh, so that must why the miko pinned him to the tree."
Kagome's eyes widened. "You knew?"
Bankotsu shrugged. "Naraku told me the dead miko pinned the hanyou to a tree fifty years ago, but not why." He nodded for her to continue.
Kagome sighed. "Kikyo pinned Inuyasha to the tree using her sacred arrow and never intended for him to be woke back up. In fact, he wasn't woken until I stumbled into the era."
Bankotsu's brows furrowed and his scratched the side of his head. "But weren't you born here like the rest of us?"
She sighed. "Lie, I was born 500 years in the future."
He stared at her with wide eyes. "How is that even possible?"
Midoriko spoke up. "Through the bone eater's well. Many years ago before Kikyo's time even, I cast a spell on that well so that when the time came my descendant and her protectors could pass through between the eras."
Kagome blinked. "You're the one who enchanted the well?"
The older woman nodded.
"Why haven't Shippo or Miroku and Sango been able to get through then?"
Midoriko patiently explained, "Because even though they are your friends, they are not your protectors. I knew you would have the hanyou as your first guardian, but your true guardian is the man you have lain with."
She blinked. 'Huh?'
Midoriko smiled. "Your soul and body are one in the same child. Even though you've given away your virginity to this warrior, your soul remains pure."
Bankotsu blinked a few times. "How is that possible?"
Midoriko replied cryptically. "You shall both find out in time exactly what took place here last night. I will say this much - it was more than simple lust."
Bankotsu crinkled up his face. 'Whatever you say, wench.'
Kagome's face burned. 'Is Midoriko right? Was it more than sheer lust for him? Well… he did see to my needs first and isn't that unusual?'
Bankotsu shook his head and stared at the ghostly figure before them. "You say Kagome is from the future?"
Midoriko nodded.
Bankotsu queried, "And that her protectors, one of which is me, can travel between the times?"
Again she nodded.
Kagome frowned. "How is that possible since Bankotsu no longer has jewel shards in him?"
Midoriko smiled. "His connection to you will allow him passage."
Kagome blinked a few times. 'Connection… We're connected because I gave him my virginity?' Her nose wriggled. 'I'll admit he was very attentive last night, but connected already…?' She chewed her bottom lip. 'Oh boy… Inuyasha is going to flip when he finds out. I wonder how the others will react?'
Bankotsu blinked a few times absorbing the new information. This was a lot to take in all at once. First, the wench who created the blasted jewel was the one who brought him back a third time. Second, he was somehow appointed Kagome's main protector. Lastly, the hot little temptress that he'd spent the night fucking was not only from the future, but also was the ghost wench's descendant.
He frowned and rubbed his chin. 'The little hell cat is a natural born seductress in bed and I sure as hell am not giving that up!' He recalled the way Inuyasha bossed her around whenever they battled together.
His jaw tightened. 'That sure as hell stops, starting right now! If he gets up in her face I'll just have to knock him back out of it. No one will disrespect Kagome while I'm around!'
He blinked at his thoughts and swallowed a few times. 'Heh, maybe I do feel protective of her.' He chuckled to himself.
Midoriko's voice drew the teenage lovers from their thoughts. "It is imperative that you destroy Naraku and restore the balance to this era. I will now show you why." Her hands weaved through the air and her voice chanted in an ancient language too old for even Bankotsu to recognize.
Midoriko caused a lighter green mist to fill the cave and transported them to hover in the middle of the space continuum. Her eyes looked down on the young lovers with sympathy and a bit of regret. She knew that they had a very trying task ahead of them, and did not envy what they must do.
"The task that lies before you two will by no means be an easy one. You must work together with the others, if you wish to truly defeat Naraku. If you do not, all of Japan and even the world as you know it will be doomed."
Lightning danced around the trio in the inky blackness shedding light on the world below. The air filled with a deep nearly suffocating malice and they watched everything end up being destroyed.
Millions of voices cried out in fear and pain. Even the stone buildings shattered, sending rubble and debris all over. Ancient trees that had survived many millennium, were uprooted and cast into the whipping winds as malicious vortexes ripped across the lands.
The rivers and oceans dried up and vanished leaving deep gullies of barren cracked earth. The soil became brittle and began cracking apart. They watched their friends and families alive and deceased alike, falling into the darkness below.
Bankotsu tried desperately to call out to his comrades and warn them, but was unable to speak. It was as if the winds had torn the very breath from his chest.
They watched in horror as the dry gullies filled with dark bubbling ooze that destroyed everything it touched. Once the dry gullies had filled to their brims with the rank smelling ooze, flames erupted on top of the ooze turning it into a molten bubbling mass of destruction that scorched everything in its path.
Kagome's heart and very soul started being consumed by the utter despair, while everyone continued falling into the inky void boiling ooze beneath them. She tightened her grip on Bankotsu's hand. He lightly squeezed hers back trying to reassure her, but he too felt the overshadowing bitterness.
Without warning the lovers were ripped apart and sent hurtling toward the destruction below.
Bankotsu desperately tried to fight the fall and reach for Kagome, but she fell toward the bubbling mass and vanished from his sight, sending his heart into a panic like he'd never known.
Kagome struggled trying to reach Bankotsu and tried to scream when he vanished from her sight, but found she couldn't utter a single sound.
Just before the two teenagers could be plunged head first into the flaming ooze, Midoriko weaved her hands in the air chanting again. The ferocious winds picked up and the massive destruction suddenly vanished.
The two teens found themselves clinging to each other in desperation and back inside the cave.
His voice was hoarse from trying to scream. "What the fuck was that?"
"A tiny glimpse of what awaits this world and all others if you two fail," she replied seriously. "If the balance to this world is not restored, great catastrophe will befall the lands and endanger the world - far worse then what you have just witnessed."
Kagome stood there with a hand over her chest trying to calm her erratic heart and blinked a few times. First, she'd had to watch her friends and family die gruesome deaths. Second, she'd had to watch Bankotsu, a strong, brave warrior engulfed by the bubbly mass of destruction and listen to his terror filled cries. Not to mention that she'd been less than an inch away from sharing the same terrifying fate as he.
'How horrible to watch everyone die like that.' She turned and buried her head against Bankotsu's chest sobbing.
Bankotsu blinked several times. As if watching his men swallowed slowly and whole by that wretched ooze wasn't bad enough… He'd had to watch sweet pure Kagome falling towards the same mass and had been completely helpless to save her. After watching her scream in anguish as the ooze devoured her, he'd found himself less than an inch away from the same fate.
His jaw clenched so tight the muscle beside it ticked. 'I will not let that happen!'
His arms wrapped around her as he too tried to calm his racing heart. He nuzzled his face into her hair and breathed deeply, reassuring himself that she was safe and they were together.
As her tears fell onto his naked chest, she felt a renewed sense of determination fill her very soul. 'We will destroy Naraku and spare the world from the despair we have just witnessed!'
Her hand went to the back of his neck. She wrapped his thick braid around her hand and sought his lips needing his kiss more than her next breath.
His hand fisted in her hair and he kissed her back, pulling her body flush against his. Instinctively her body melted against his and he deepened the kiss. When the two pulled back for air, their fears had been replaced with a strong sense of determination.
They exchanged a knowing look and he nodded.
"We will make sure that never happens." He vowed fiercely.
Kagome nodded her agreement and laid her head on his shoulder, feeling the strength of his warm arms cradling her body.
Midoriko nodded. "I trust that neither of you will fail in this quest." She held out her palms towards them. Something unique lay on each palm. To Kagome she held out a clear pinkish purple orb.
As soon as Kagome's hand rested above it, the orb shattered and Kagome felt indescribable power coursing through her veins. Several minutes passed as the powers absorbed into her body and carved deep into her very soul.
She blinked and stared at Midoriko.
"I have just given you all of my miko knowledge; it far surpasses Kikyo's and will aid you in your task."
Kagome gasped and whispered reverently, "Thank you Midoriko sama."
Midoriko smiled and nodded. She gazed at the former Schichinintai leader.
Bankotsu eyed her warily.
"Don not be so skeptical warrior. What I offer is only going to help you. It will not harm either of you."
He slowly approached her and rested his hand over hers. Bright blue energy glowed between them causing both palms to tingle and slightly burn. When he pulled his hand back two objects lay nestled in his palm.
He slowly opened his hand and stared at them. Two intricately woven gold chains shone in his hand. His eyes widened when he saw what was attached at the bottom center of each.
He stared at her a long quiet moment, for in his hand lie two of the most powerful magical treasures he knew of.
He blinked. "Dragon tears."
Judging by the thin lines of dragon scale carefully twined around the tears, they were even Golden Dragons Tears, which were said to be the absolute most powerful weapons in the realm of magic and were highly coveted by demons. The last Golden Dragon rumored to exist had died of old age with its Black Dragon mate, shortly after his great grandparents had become adults and these had been rumored to have disappeared upon their deaths.
"Those belonged to your great grandparents and aided both in the toughest battle they ever fought side by side. Your ancestors were victorious in that battle and retired afterward. They will aid you in your endeavors as well. "
His hand closed around them and he inhaled a deep breath. He felt them glowing in his hand.
The ancient priestess warned, "Be careful whom you gift the second one too. Once you have given it to her, you two will be bound together in ways you won't even begin to comprehend until the time comes. If you give it to the wrong person, the consequences will be far worse than you can imagine."
He opened his eyes and nodded. "I thought these were lost."
Midoriko smiled. "Let's just say they came into my keeping when I was a young girl not much older than Kagome and have been in my possession ever since. As I said, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Bankotsu nodded and placed the larger one around his neck. Instantly he felt the strength and powers of his ancestors flow through his body. He reached for Banryu and it shinned a soft blue hue as if it recognized the power flowing through him.
He slipped the other one into the special box she handed him and tucked it into his haori for safe keeping. He pulled on his armor and latched it into place. One hand gripped Banryu's handle tightly.
His free hand went to touch a finger to the amulet around his neck. 'I can't believe I finally have them. I've searched all of Japan numerous times looking for these.'
Midoriko smiled and watched him. 'Neither are ready for it yet and if he gives it away without them both being one hundred percent certain and ready for it, the consequences will be worse than the images they've recently seen.'
Despite the fact that the young warrior once lead a group of mercenaries and was as ruthless as they were, she knew her descendant was in good hands.
"Remember to never waver in your trust of one another. If all else fails, rely on that trust and each other." With that the ancient priestess vanished as if she had never been there.
Kagome's jaw had dropped as he showed her the pendants. She closed her mouth and reached for her bag. After making sure everything was in place she cleared her throat and moved to stand beside the warrior.
Bankotsu blinked and dropped his free hand to his side. He quickly noted that she had her things and nodded. "Let's go." He turned and walked out of the cave. As soon as he had room to maneuver, he lifted Banryu and settled it in its customary place on his right shoulder.
Kagome held her bow in one hand and had her bag strapped to her back. She walked beside him on the left side so as not to be in the way should he need to use his weapon.
"We will stop to eat something in about an hour. While it's fairly cool I'd like to keep traveling."
Still coming to terms with what they had seen, she nodded. "That's fine. I'm not really up to eating at the moment anyways."
He closed his free hand around hers.
She blinked and then squeezed his hand lightly. She smiled as they walked down the path heading towards Kaede's village.
A/N: Okay there is the second part. I hope you paid attention to everything Midoriko said and thought as it will all come in to play later. {And now perhaps you understand how a one shot quickly transformed into a mini story? XD}
Anyways, I'd love to know what you all think of this story so far. It's far from my usual as this one started off with the citrus and goes from there, rather than slowly leading into the citrus.
Preview:
The heat gets to be too much and after Bankotsu and Kagome eat, they relax on the blanket enjoying each others company. After an hour he convinces her to strip to her under clothes and join him in cooling off a while.
