Opening Scene:
A young teenage boy with sapphire blue eyes and long black hair pulled into a tight braid that easily reached below his waist, was wearing a white haori, and white hakamas with silver armor fitted over his chest and back, and one shoulder.
He sat on the ground with his back resting against the bone eaters well. This man was none other than Bankotsu- the renowned leader of the Shichinintai.
Bankotsu, having had a big battle earlier that day, was now sitting leaning his back against the bone eaters well relaxing when a big bear demon attacked, striking towards him. The bear lunged towards him catching Bankotsu off guard, as he had been busy daydreaming.
He snapped out of his trance like state just in time to dodge the bear demon's attack. Bankotsu grabbed his Banryu and rolled out of the way in one fluid movement.
He jumped to his feet, facing the demon and yelled, "Hey ugly that was close! Where did you come from anyways?"
The bear demon glared at him and roared, "Give me the jewel shards!"
Bankotsu smirked and taunted, "Come get 'em, big dumb and stupid," while lifting his Banryu over his head.
The bear crouched down rushing forward and slammed into Bankotsu's stomach; which caused a shocked Bankotsu to lose his grip on weapon mid-swing and resulted in him flinging his Banryu into a nearby tree. Bankotsu narrowed his eyes at the demon and hissed, "You'll pay for that!" then charged towards the bear with his fists ready.
The bear stood up tall again and brought a claw up slashing down towards Bankotsu; who quickly dodged the attack, and moved in for a kick. The bear, using a claw, blocked the kick knocking a surprised Bankotsu completely off balance, causing him to falter back a bit and stumbling to regain his balance. He hit the well and the momentum, as well as the weight of his armor, caused him to fall backwards as he flipped over the rim of the well and fell into it.
A bluish white light enveloped him and he wondered the hell what was going on. The light shone so bright it nearly blinded him, causing him to shut his eyes. His wrists and neck glowed, even more for thirty seconds, and then disappeared. He was getting just a little bit freaked out. The next thing he knew the light disappeared and he was at the bottom of the well.
He grunted as he hit the ground, and then rolled on to his side, getting on his knees and pushed himself up while panting harshly. He dusted himself off and looked up, immediately frowning when he saw a roof was now hanging over the top of the well. Bankotsu wondered what the hell just happened. Unknown to the young mercenary- he had been transported to a completely different era of time...
Chapter 1:
Bankotsu sighed heavily, knowing he wouldn't get any answers just standing there. He began to climb his way out of the well. Once he reached the top, he hefted his large body over the rim. Looking around he immediately realized that he was not where he had fallen from. He took his time taking in the foreign smells and sights of his surroundings. With confusion clearly visible on his face, he bellowed, "What the fuck?" adding mentally, "This can't be right!"
A young woman was nearby lounging thoughtfully in her favorite spot. She wore a brilliant red v-neck style t-shirt and some red daisy duke style cut off jean shorts, that both molded to her lithe, voluptuous body like a second skin. Her waist length midnight black wavy hair pulled up into a high ponytail.
She was sitting with her back against the main part of the tree, on one of the highest limbs of her favorite tree and thinking. "Stupid jerk! I'm better off without him anyways." Sighing she grumbled to herself, "Come to think of it... all the guys around here are jerks."
She became somewhat startled when she heard the angry yell, because she knew that she was supposed to be the only person on the property. After debating things over a minute, and weighing her options, she decided to investigate. Jumping down she landed gracefully on her feet much like a cat would.
Staring in the direction the yell had come from, her eyes widened as she realized it was over by the well house. "That's weird," she thought, as she began to carefully make her way towards the well house.
Upon reaching the well house, she peered inside and her eyes widened in surprise as spotted a strangely dressed man standing there. She quickly noted his strange attire, powerful build, and long, braided hair.
Frowning she approached the stranger whose back was to her. Reaching out she grabbed his elbow, turning him around to face her and looking right in his face. "What are you doing in there?" she demanded in a harsh tone.
Bankotsu, somewhat shocked at being whirled around and coming face to face with an angry woman, quickly scanned over her petite frame, noting her athletic, yet womanly build and angry face. He looked into her eyes demanding, "Wench where the hell, am I? What's going on?"
Kayla stared into his eyes, noting they were a very unique shade of blue, and informed him bitingly, "My name is Kay-la, learn it and use it. I refuse to answer any questions until you do." Spinning around on her heel, she stormed off towards her house; which was located behind the shrine.
Bankotsu blinked in shock at her audacity to actually yell at him, then shook his head to clear it. He jogged to catch up to her. He reached her, grabbed her elbow spinning her around so they stood face to face, and demanded, "Answer me Kayla! What the hell is going on?" angry blue eyes boring into her caramel ones.
Kayla looked at him a few seconds sizing him up, and sighed, "Well, judging by the attitude, and clothes; I assume you came through the well from the warring states era." she answered irritably.
Looking clearly perplexed, Bankotsu demanded, "What the fuck are you talking about?"
Having had enough of his rude manners, Kayla yanked her arm out of his grasp. Shocked Bankotsu glared at her awaiting an answer. Sighing heavily she looked him in the eye offering, "To put it simply, you're five-hundred years in the future from your time. That well is a cross between the eras. Now either try going into it again, or shut up and leave me be!" pointing in the direction of the well house.
Bankotsu stared at her a moment, unused to her brisk mannerism, then spun on his heel and stormed back to the well house. Once he arrived, he stood by the well a minute. Sighing heavily he jumped into the well again, but became frustrated when he only ended up at the bottom of the same well he had jumped into. "What the hell?" he roared.
Kayla, who had followed him back to the well house, peered down at him saying annoyed, "Looks like you're stuck until the damn thing opens up again." This was the last thing she needed- having a brutish man for a guest.
Bankotsu glared up at her, and she glared right back at him. Shaking his head he grumbled angrily, "Just what I fucking need."
Her mind growled, "That makes two of us buddy boy." He proceeded to once again climb out of the well. Upon reaching the top, he once again hoisted himself over the rim and turned to face her.
Kayla looked at him a long minute then sighed and thought, "Well hell, I can't just leave the idiot out in the cold now can I?" After a minute of struggling within herself, she sighed and suggested,"You may as well stay at my place I suppose. If you are nice, I might even try to teach you about my era." Bankotsu stared at her a moment. "Follow me or don't, it's your choice hot shot." She spun on her heel once again and walked off towards her house.
Bankotsu grudgingly followed her. His eyes took in the way her hips swayed. His gaze slid to her ass and legs. He went very still, his breath catching in his lungs. Instant awareness shook him.
He'd certainly had his share of women, but he never reacted like this- a vicious response of his body and mind, everything in him reaching toward her. His breath caught in his throat, he could feel the taste of her in his mouth.
"Wait a damn minute," he thought, "My heart is racing… but how is that possible? I shouldn't even have a heart beat... and taste her, how can I taste?" His hand went to his chest and his heart pulsed. "Does… this mean that I'm alive?" he thought bewildered.
He took a slow deep breath to calm the surging excitement, the exulation. His eyes focused on her backside again and his body tightened savagely in response. His body knew her instantly. She looked untamed, seductive- for him. His body, his mind, his very soul said she was the one. He was looking at his woman.
He realized that he was checking her out and sighed, wondering what the hell had come over him. He pushed down the aggression, as testosterone flooded his body with burning lust and a savage desire to possess. He felt aggressive, dangerous, almost brutal, a primitive response programmed into him.
Once they were inside her house he grabbed her elbow again and spun her to face him, commanding, "Now explain to me what you're talking about."
Kayla yanked her arm free while glaring at him and ordered firmly, "Sit at the table while I make dinner and I will explain," pointing to where he was to sit.
His angry gaze bored into her as he sat down. After a second, leaning back to prop his feet up on the table, he questioned, "What do you mean by your era and my era?"
Kayla, who had already begun preparing the food, stopped and turned to look at him speaking, "Different time periods, my time is five-hundred years in your future." Bankotsu waited for her to continue. Noticing the confusion in his eyes, she shook her head.
Kayla walked over to her bookshelf, picked up a book about the feudal era and carried it over; setting it in front of him. He looked up at her raising a brow in question. Kayla opened to a certain page and showed it to him stating evenly, "This book is records from your time period, or era." Kayla added, "And in this time period, demons either don't exist at all, or they hide themselves and their auras extremely well."
At his baffled look she sighed, "I'm guessing that you fell through the bone eaters well and for some reason came through to my time."
Bankotsu shot up to his feet and demanded, "How can you know that?" his dark gaze boring suspiciously into hers once again.
Kayla looked him dead in the eye and said, "Kagome told me all about the well and the jewel," placing her hands on her generous hips.
Bankotsu looked thoughtful a minute, then mentioned, "Kagome huh? Oh you mean Inuyasha's wench," proud of himself for figuring that part out.
Kayla hid a smile saying amused, "I suppose you could call her that, she is also my cousin."
Bankotsu's eyes scanned their surroundings. Not seeing any signs of another occupant he looked back into her face demanding, "So where is your husband?"
Kayla laughed bitterly. "I'm not married- I don't even have a boyfriend." At his disbelieving look she added wryly, "Apparently the guys in my era consider me to damn smart and out spoken for a girl." Bankotsu's brow rose again. She supplied, "They either aren't interested or get scared off because of my in your face attitude."
Bankotsu looked at her thoroughly inspecting her again, noting her killer body. He stared into her eyes stating, "Well they're idiots then. I like when a woman isn't afraid to speak her mind."
Kayla, who had seen his roving eyes, said slightly embarrassed, "Thank you," as she ducked her head.
Bankotsu sat down again proclaiming matter of factly, "Mousy, meek, females are weak and boring," punctuating the 'boring' with a wide yawn.
Snapping her eyes to his Kayla assured, "One thing I will never be, is an air head- who just waits around for some guy to notice her. I'm an out spoken, up front, in your face type of girl. Always have been, always will be. The people who don't like it, can just kiss my ass!" crossing her arms in front of her generous chest, eyes silently daring him to disagree.
Bankotsu sat there lazily reclined in the chair with his feet up on the table and thought, "I can see where they would think that." Smirking he thought, "However, a feisty woman always turns me on. If there is one thing I can't stand- it's a shy, quite, meek, weak, girl who won't even argue back." Shuddering in revulsion at his last thought, he thought eyeing the girl before him again, "I prefer a woman with brains, body, and spirit."
He sat there letting all she had told him soak in."Since I'm stuck here anyways, maybe I can wait for that mutt and that Ka-go-me wench to show up and strike them then. Except..." Scowling deeply he yelled, "Fuck!" slamming his fist on the table and his feet hit the floor.
Kayla, who had gone back to cooking, jumped at the sound of his fist connecting with her table. Scowling she turned around and barked, "What is it?" thinking, "He better not have broken that table!"
Bankotsu growled, "My baby is alone and in the other time," as his fist curled into a tight ball.
Kayla asked confused, "Why would your baby be alone?" then yelled, "Idiot! Don't you know infants are helpless? Don't you know babies-"
Bankotsu glared at her cutting off her tirade and clarified, "By my baby, I mean my halberd."
Looking at him sheepishly Kayla said, "Oh... uh... sorry," as an embarrassed pink tinge stained her cheeks. Bankotsu shrugged.
She turned around and resumed cooking the food. Once it was finished, she set his bowl in front of him suggesting, "Here, eat up before it gets cold." Taking the seat across from him and began to eat her own food.
Bankotsu's stomach growled and he realized that he hadn't eaten since that morning. Grudgingly he picked up his chopsticks and began to shovel the food into his mouth. After a moment, with surprise clearly evident on his face, he looked at her and exclaimed, "Hey, this is actually pretty damn tasty," flashing a handsome grin at his reluctant hostess.
Without looking up Kayla mumbled, "Thanks; cooking is one of the few things I am good at." He frowned at her statement, wondering what she meant by it, before digging back into his food ravenously.
She finished eating and placed her dishes in the sink, then walked off down the hall. Reaching into the linen closet, she pulled out fresh linens for the extra bedroom and walked over into it.
She carried them over to the bed, stripped the bed, and made it with the fresh linens. She walked into another room, and a minute later came back out with some sweat pants and a t-shirt that used to be her father's.
Kayla walked back to the kitchen and thrust the clothes at Bankotsu as she instructed, "Change into these for now. In the morning we will go buy you some decent clothes for my time."
Realizing he'd been given a man's clothes and remembering her earlier statement, Bankotsu frowned thinking, "She said she doesn't have a man, so whose are they?" Deciding to ask, heaccepted the clothes as he looked at her questioning, "Whose are they?"
Kayla's eyes took on a hint of sadness as she explained, "They were my father's, until he died. I just haven't gone through and thrown his stuff out yet," she finished in a whisper, turning away. Bankotsu nodded.
Shaking off painful memories Kayla added, "Follow me and I'll show you where you can sleep." Bankotsu nodded and followed her down the hallway and over to a door about half way down the hall. Kayla stopped by the door and informed him, "You can have this room for however long you're here. The linens are fresh, and there is a bathroom right next to it."
Bankotsu nodded and offered a gruff, "Thanks," as he thought, "Since I'm stuck in this strange world, at least I'll have a warm place to sleep."
Kayla nodded. As an afterthought she added, "I get the felling you're gonna be here a while, so we might as well know each other's names." She stared at him waiting patiently.
Bankotsu grinned and looked her dead in the eye proclaiming proudly, "I'm Bankotsu, leader of the Shichinintai." He watched her closely and was secretly pleased as her eyes widened in shock. "Ah, so even people in this world know of me." He thought smugly.
Kayla was shocked and exclaimed, "Wow!" After getting over her shock, she looked him dead in the eye and continued, "I've heard about you and your friends from Kagome." Bankotsu smirked. Kayla mentioned, "Good night Bankotsu," then turned to walk off.
Bankotsu reached out a hand snagging her elbow, effectively stopping her. She faced him and staring her in the eye he demanded, "Don't you realize I could easily kill you, or rape you at any given moment that I so choose?"
Sick of him grabbing her arm, Kayla jerked free of his grasp. She glared at him, hands on her hips and stated dead seriously, "I doubt that even you would be stupid enough to kill or harm the only person in this entire era able to explain what is happening and or even willing to help you adapt."
She held his gaze as she warned, "Make no mistake Bankotsu, if you mess up even once- I will throw your ass into the street so fast your head will spin! You will be without food, shelter, and company. Completely on your own, understood?"
Without waiting for his answer, she turned on her heel and stormed off to the end of the hall, slamming the door and kicking off her shoes, she climbed into bed.
Bankotsu stood there completely shocked because no one had ever dared speak to him, Bankotsu the merciless leader of the band of seven, in such a manner before.
"What the hell just happened? I was just threatened… and by a woman no less." he thought stunned, staring at the slammed door.
"Damn but she has got spunk. I think I might just be able to tolerate her after all," he thought, chuckling as he walked over to the big thing she'd called a 'bed' He carried the clothes over to the bed, depositing them at the foot of it. He carefully removed his armor setting it against the wall. He pulled back the covers sighing and crawled into the bed. Feeling the fatigue settle over him, he stretched out and went to sleep.
The next morning:
Kayla woke up and rolled out of bed. She walked into her bathroom, undressed, and climbed into the shower. She started the water, sighing as she felt the hot water sluice over her body. After several lazy minutes of allowing the water to run down her body, she picked up her body wash and bathed. After rinsing off, she shut off the water and climbed out; reaching for a towel and dried off.
She walked into her closet, pulling out some curve hugging jeans and a form fitting v-neck style t-shirt. She walked over to her dresser and pulled out a matching bra and boy shorts panties set. Walking over to set them on the bed, she removed her towel and dressed. After hanging up her towel in the bathroom, she walked into the kitchen.
Upon reaching the kitchen, she walked over to the fridge, opening it and pulled out the eggs and bacon, then shut the fridge. She walked over to the stove placing the food on the counter and pulling out a pan, set it on the stove, and then proceeded to cook the eggs and bacon for breakfast.
She walked back over to the fridge pulling out some oranges, and closed the door. She carried the oranges over to the juicer and proceeded to squeeze them making fresh squeezed orange juice to go with the food.
She had just finished setting breakfast and the juice on the table when Bankotsu entered, wearing the clothes she had given him last night with his hair still braided. She looked at him over her shoulder and greeted somewhat kindly, "Morning bright eyes, breakfast is ready."
Bankotsu looked at her and replied sleepily, "Morning." He moved past her toward a chair and as her words sunk in, he raised a brow asking amused, "Bright eyes, huh?"
Kayla's cheeks tinged a pale pink as she explained, "Your eyes are really bright so," she turned around avoiding his questioning gaze.
Noticing her slight blush Bankotsu grinned teasing, "Nice to know that you noticed my eyes."
Kayla moved over to the stove suggesting, "Eat, then we can go to the mall and buy you some decent clothes, to help you blend in with this era."
Shrugging Bankotsu sat down and ate his food and drank his juice. Kayla sat down and ate her food and drank her juice. She finished and stood up collecting their dishes. She walked over to the sink began cleaning their dishes.
Bankotsu sat there watching her move noting that her body moved rather gracefully. Since her back was turned to him, he decided to take a thorough look at her without fear of her catching him.
His eyes stared at jeans clad backside, noticing how grab-able it looked- his fingers itched to do just that. He raised his gaze to the skin on her lower back, that he could see just peeking out from under her shirt, as she moved to place the now dry dishes up in the cabinets, revealing more of her toned back to him.
She said, "I'm gonna go get my shoes, and then we can go," turning around. He tore his gaze from her figure just before she turned around. She walked over to her room pulling out her socks and shoes and pulled them on. She returned to the kitchen and grabbed her wallet and keys. She looked at him asking, "Alright, ready to go?"
Bankotsu shrugged answering lazily, "I suppose so," as their gazes locked. Kayla nodded and they walked out the door. Kayla turned around locking the door and pocketed her keys. She looked at him explaining, "It'll be a little bit of a walk, but I'm sure a guy as in shape as you are can handle it." Bankotsu smirked as they started walking down the steps, his eyes glued to her fanny. Once she reached the bottom of the steps she pointed saying, "We head that way." He nodded and they walked off towards the mall.
Along the way every girl's head turned in their direction. Kayla noticed it then deciding to ignore it, shrugged it off. After a while Bankotsu began to grow uncomfortable from being stared at so openly by so many strange girls. He looked at Kayla questioning irritably, "What's with them, anyways? Haven't they ever seen a man before? You'd think I was on display or something," finishing with a disgusted grunt.
Kayla laughed and looked at him responding, "Well you are a strong, handsome guy. Plus you have the longest hair they have more than likely ever seen on a guy." Noticing his discomfort, she informed him, "They're just checking you out." Deciding to tease him for a change she added, "After all it's not every day they get to see a guy quite like you." ending dryly.
Bankotsu scowled and snapped frustratedly, "I wish they would stop. It's starting to creep me out," shivering a little as he spoke the last part. He looked at Kayla and smirked boasting, "Even I can't keep up with that many girls at once," mirth dancing in his unique blue eyes.
Kayla laughed and replied, "Well get used to it, pal. They aren't going to stop looking at you. They all want you for themselves," she finished with a careless shrug.
An idea popped into his head. Bankotsu looked at Kayla smirking as he declared, "Oh yeah? I bet this will stop them." Before she could even react, he pushed her against the wall, pinning her hands above her head with one of his own and pinned her body with his.
His free hand held her chin firmly and Kayla's eyes widened from shock as she braced herself for anything. He stared intently into her eyes and slowly leaned down to her lips lightly brushing his lips over hers.
Every single thought melted away the moment when his lips met hers, it was like her brain froze or something. His tongue trailed along her bottom lip sensuously. The feeling was so good, and he had just started. She instinctively opened her mouth, submitting herself to whatever he wished of her. Shivers traveled up and down her spine, when he began to stroke the inside of her mouth with his tongue expertly.
He broke the kiss for a moment and stared at her with those gorgeous sapphire eyes. He gave her a long intense gaze before he reclaimed her mouth with a searing kiss that left a tingle in her mouth, which quickly began spreading throughout her entire body. Never in her life had a kiss affected her like this. Her body felt like it was just waking up to the sensations locked inside her.
After a minute Bankotsu pulled back and looked at her face. He smirked at her expression and desire clouded eyes. Kayla stared at him feeling confused and something else she couldn't quite identify.
Satisfied for the moment, he pushed himself off the wall and she pushed off of the wall as well. They started walking together again in silence. Looking around a bit, Bankotsu smirked. "It seems to have worked."
Feeling a bit shaken at her own reaction to his kiss Kayla added dryly, "Good for you." Her mind was asking a million questions about what had just happened. Shaking her head to clear it, she focused on the reason they were out.
