Chapter Six:

Kagome woke up to the sound of nearby crunching twigs. Her eyes frantically scanned the area, finding only Jakotsuo beside her. She picked up the weapon and released the hidden button and sent the multitude of blades flying in the direction of the crunching twigs.

"Shit!"

She heard the sound of metal clashing against metal and watched the snake like blades fly towards her. She quickly yanked her wrist to the side with a half spin and closed the blades before they could cut her. Her eyes widened and her leg muscles tensed as the shrubbery was pushed aside.

"Jakotsu, what the hell are you - "

Blue eyes narrowed and Bankotsu took a menacing step towards her. His hand tightened around Banryu's hilt.

"Where is Jakotsu and why do you have his sword?"

Kagome dropped the sword and fell onto her butt. She crawled her way over to the water and screamed when grey eyes stared back at her. Her arms hugged her waist and her body trembled. Her voice came out shaky.

"Why am I practically naked?"

Her teeth chattered. She reached around for something to cover with and lifted it to her face.

'Take your filthy hands off my kimono!'

She blinked and mumbled beneath her breath. "I must be hearing things." She shakily slipped the kimono on and tied it around her waist.

Bankotsu snatched her arm and spun her around, pressing Banryu against her throat. "I asked you a question!"

Her face paled. "I don't know." Grey eyes blinked up at him.

He frowned. "Why are your eyes different?" Bankotsu's free hand scratched the side of his head. 'Jakotsu is the only person who knows how to properly wield his weapon. Yet this wench just wielded it perfectly..?'

Kagome used one hand to push the blade away from her neck and collapsed to the ground hugging her knees. She rocked back and forth.

"I don't know."

Bankotsu sighed and embedded Banryu into the soil. He leaned his back against his weapon and scowled.

"Then what do you know?"

She lifted a shaky hand to her head. "I remember seeing Jakotsu struggling to get his armor off. He had a panicked look on his face." Her heart beat frantically inside her chest and bile threatened to rise.

"What else?"

"I helped him unlatch his armor and then the water ripped us away from each other. After that I remember struggling in the blackness and trying to fight my way to the surface."

Bankotsu frowned. "Where did Jakotsu go?"

She shivered and rubbed her arms. "I'm sorry, after we were ripped away from each other I don't know what happened to him."

He grunted. "Why do you have his sword and how were you able to wield it just a few minutes ago?"

She shook her head side to side. "I'm still wondering that myself." She hugged her knees to her chest and continued rocking back and forth.

He blinked. "Why were you alone with that bull demon to begin with?"

She shrugged. "I woke up with a pounding headache, alone and weaponless. I don't even have my pack with me."

His brows furrowed. 'The demon must have abducted her. Why weren't her friends with her?' Bankotsu sighed heavily. 'I can't just have her running around alone, especially since she has Jakotsu's kimono and weapon.'

'She's not leaving my sight until I find out where Jakotsu is and why she could wield his weapon.' He pushed off his weapon and stormed over to her. He grabbed her arm and yanked her to her feet.

"You're coming with me."

Her eyes widened. "Wait!"

"You're the last person who saw Jakotsu alive and until I know exactly what happened to him, you're stuck with me."

"But, I've already told you everything I know."

"Let go!" She tried to free her arm, but his fingers tightened like a vise clamp.

"Iie, now stop struggling or I'll kill you."

At the icy tone in his voice she froze and her mouth opened and closed like a fish. He dragged her by the arm over towards Banryu, stopping long enough to retrieve Banryu and Jakotsuo. Keeping a firm grip on her arm he led her back into the trees.
