Chapter Seven:

"Why don't we dive into the water to check for Jakotsu or at least his body?"

"Did I say you could talk?"

She stomped her foot. "I'm serious."

He jerked to his chest. "Listen good wench, I'm not your friend and I'm not your pathetic dog boy either. You are my captive."

She flinched at the harsh tone of his voice.

"Unless you want to face drastic consequences, you will only speak when spoken to. You will do everything I tell you, without argument!" He took a deep breath and got right in her face. "Piss me off and you will be picking yourself up off the ground. We clear?"

Kagome grit her teeth and ripped her arm free from him. Her hand rose into the air and lowered, only to be caught in a viselike grip.

"If you ever try that again, I will snap your wrist like a twig. You'd better cooperate or I will make you life a living hell!"

"Well if you wouldn't act like such a jerk, maybe you wouldn't need to be slapped!"

His jaw clenched. He jerked her wrist to the side hard enough she fell onto her butt. He towered over her and his eyes narrowed. "Cause me any more trouble and I'll send your head rolling across the ground!"

Her eyes widened and she swallowed slowly.

He dropped to one knee and gripped her throat. "The only reason you're not already dead is because I have a strong gut feeling you're the only one who can help me find Jakotsu." His eyes flickered with menace.

Her nails raked at the hand restricting her oxygen and her eyes burned with tears.

"Remember that and you might make it through the night." He scoffed and released her neck.

She stared up at him with wide eyes and gulped in air. She balled her fist and jumped up. Her fist connected with his jaw. "You jerk, you could have killed me!"

'She hit me…' He blinked and rubbed his jaw. His hand snatched her balled fist and he growled. He hooked his lower leg behind her knee and shoved her onto her butt. "If you ever strike me again, I'll return the favor in kind."

He stopped Banryu right before it sliced her throat. "One more stunt from you and I'll tie you up. Now behave!"

She flinched and then scooted back a few steps. She rubbed her bruising neck and flames licked her eyes. "You truly are a mercenary. Heartless and cruel"

He smirked. "You'd do well to remember that." He snatched her up by the arm and led her over to a tree. Before she realized what he was doing he tied her hands and tugged the vine.

"Get up wench."

She grunted but rose to her feet for fear of ending up sprawled face first in the dirt.

He smirked. "Let's see how well you can keep up." He tugged the vine and led her deeper into the trees.
