9:30 AM





Bankotsu walked into his kitchen and his eyes went wide before he smiled. Kagome was at the stove cooking breakfast, her hair in a high ponytail, wrapped in a pink ribbon. She was wearing a t-shirt that hugged her waist and upper torso perfectly. He looked down and saw that she was wearing a short pair of pink shorts. He had to admit that they looked really nice on her.





"Good morning, Kotsu." she said happily





"Good morning Kagome." he said eyeing her.





She turned around and gave him a bright smile while fixing two plates. He shook his head and sat down at the table.





"What time were you up this morning?" Bankotsu asked while he watched her grab some orange juice from the refrigerator.





She shrugged "At 6 I believe." she answered while pouring him a glass, then herself.





"Why? Couldn't you sleep?" he asked concerned.





Kagome smiled as she sat down. "No. I slept fine. I just so happened to wake up at that time and I felt so good I thought I should just go ahead and get my day started."





She saw that he hadn't eaten yet and she gave him a playful glare. "Aren't you going to try my cooking?"





Bankotsu paused before remembering what she was talking about.





"Of course" He laughed before eating some eggs.





Kagome nodded in satisfaction as she ate her own meal. They ate with small conversation until they were done. Kagome picked up the plates and put them in the sink. Bankostu came up behind her and suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist, startling her.





"Ban-"





"I'm actually glad you left that guy and came to me. I missed not seeing you. Now that you're here, I can see you all I like." he said into her ear.





Kagome stiffened before continuing her work, cleaning the plates.





"Bankotsu, you know we're just friends. Nothing more. I hope you understand that. I'm also not here for you and you know that. I just need a place to stay until my house was done. After that . . . well . . ."





He chuckled before kissing her cheek. "I know, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't enjoy the time I have with you." he said, letting her go.





He grabbed her arm gently and pulled her towards him. "I believe we should go out today. What do you say?"





Kagome looked at him a little skeptically. "Well, I'm not sure if I should. I mean --"





He sighed, "Come on Kagome. I won't try anything. Just go out for awhile with me. Please?" he asked giving her a pouty face.





She rolled her eyes and sighed to herself. "Fine. I'll go. Just let me get ready for the 'occasion'."





He let her go and she walked back upstairs to change.

Sesshoumaru growled. Annoyed and frustrated that he did not know where his 'wife' was. Since she left, his mind kept wondering to her and her place of stay. Where is that woman staying? He glared at the glass before him as if it would tell him the answers to his problems. She was not staying with Sango, because he knew her and Miroku were on their honeymoon.





Inuyasha . . . she wasn't with him. He knew that for a fact. It wouldn't matter how bad she was doing, she wouldn't stay over there.





Koga? Hell no. He had threatened him that if he even so breathe her way he would break his neck . . . not like that would stop Koga from doing anything that wanted to do with her. So where could she be?





"Dammit!" he cursed.





As soon as he did, he felt arms wrap around his neck.





"What is bothering you love?"





"Nothing that concerns you Kira." Sesshoumaru said coldly as he took another sip of his drink.





She only smiled at his coldness towards her and kissed his cheek.





"I hope it's not that bitch Kagome. Anywho, come dear, I want to go shopping!" she squealed, making Sesshoumaru wince at the sound.





"Woman, do not do that again." He warned standing.





She shrugged and waved it off. "Whatever. I'm going to get ready." hhe said and tried to be sexy by swinging her hips from side to side.

He sighed as he ran his hand down his face. What am I doing?

An hour and a half later, Kagome and Bankotsu were strolling through the city, looking through different stores. She decided she should wear her white blouse and blue jeans. She really didn't want anything, but sometimes he would insist that he get her something. That was the same reason why he had a few bags in his hands already.





"How about we go eat lunch, eh?" he asked walking into the nearest resturant. "I'm kind of hungry myself."





Kagome smiled and nodded. She was kinda hungry herself. She actually did enjoy hanging out with him. They had nice talks and they shared some of the same interests. He made it clear that he cared for her and if she felt like becoming more than friends, to let him know.





Kagome shook her head as she remembered that. 'He'll never give up I suppose . . .' She thought as they took their seats near a window in the restaurant. They looked over the menus. He ordered steak and she chose a cheeseburger.





"Are you having a nice time,Kagome?" Bankotsu asked as he stared at her with starry eyes.





Kagome noticed and smiled, forcing her blush to go away. She nodded.

"I am. Thank you all the things you had bought me. I-"





"It was nothin'. I don't mind buying anything for you, Love. Is there anything else that you needed?" he asked, now holding her hand.





Kagome quickly shook her head. She needed nothing else. She didn't even need the things he had bought her in the beginning.





"Not at all. I'm fine Bank. Thanks." she said with a smiled and trying to pull her hand away from his, but to no avail.

Kira was successfully able to convince Sesshoumaru to have lunch in the nearby restaurant. Sesshoumaru frowned as she held tightly onto his hand and the hostess went about getting them both a seat. As they walked towards the table, he smelled a very familiar scent. He quickly turned his head and he saw her. She was sitting near the window with...





He growled. "Bankotsu."





Kira heard him and glanced back at him. "Is something wrong?"





He looked down at her. "No."





She shrugged and went on her way. Sesshoumaru saw him grab her hand and give it a small squeeze, looking at her lovingly. Why didn't he think of him before? Hell, he didn't even remember Kagome talking about him. The hostess sat them down a few tables away from them. He sat down and ignored Kira that was currently talking to him.





"I need to go to the ladies room Sesshou. Ok?" she asked and got up without him saying a thing.





Sesshoumaru really did not care. He had his sights on a peticular couple. He clenched his hands every second he watched them. She was HIS! He watched as Bankotsu held her hand up to his mouth and kissed the back of her hand. That's it. He did not care if he was with Kira at the moment. Kagome was his and he'd be damned if he let him take her from him. He stood up from his chair and stormed over to the couple.
