He was surprised at the old man's sudden appearance. He couldn't believe that he hadn't noticed him before. He looked down at the old man as he spoke, then stared back out across the sea.
"Yes, there were many people that feared me. And they had good reason for it. Back then all i cared about was fighting the strongest opponent i could find. I slaughtered anyone who stood in my way without mercy. But i'm trying to put all of that behind me. And i hope that she can trust me. At first i just wanted her to trust me so that i could get what i wanted. Then i was gong to kill them. Now though... i would'nt do anything to hurt her. Even if it meant losing the jewel."

"The shikon no tama,the last our village ever heard of it was when Priestess Kikyou was alive.She used to visit our village,give us wisdom and guidance and talk with the priestess who used to live here as well".
He had seen many sunrises,and many sunsets but he knew soon it would come to a end.Maybe this young man could change his evil ways,but to trust someone with your heart and soul would be difficult.
"All you can do is move on to the future".
He walked back towards his home.
Kagome had come when the old man left,she stopped a few feet away though and looked over at the ocean.He said he was getting Banryu,but it only seemed he came out here to get some fresh air.
"Banryu is still on the side of the shack,are you feeling okay".

He stared after the old man as he walked away. He couldn't quite understand what he had said, but he felt that he should remember it. He didn't know why, but it seemed that it was something he wasn't meant to understand just yet. When Kagome stopped beside him, he turned to face her.
"It's nothing. I was just thinking about some things."
He turned and stared out across the sea once more. He still wasn't sure about all this, but he needed to get it off his mind once and for all.
"Kagome, forgive me but i need to say this. I'm in love with you. I'll change no matter what, but you can keep the jewel. When you have the rest of it, i'll give you two of mine. But right now i need them. I need them so that i can make sure no harm comes to you until your where you will be safe."

"You love me I don't know what to say,but....I am curious to know what's keeps you alive this time".
Kagome felt her face turn a deep red,even Inuyasha couldn't come out and say his true feelings for her.This was all so sudden and strange,at least Bankotsu wasn't as bad as Hojo the person who gives her health stuff.
"It will be difficult to get all the jewel shards,keep yours until I need them and I lo....love you too".

He just stared at her. He couldn't believe it. She had actually said that she loved him. Maybe there was a chance for him afterall. Before he could think of anything to a say he heard screams from behind them. Turning around, he saw the villagers running in terror as a demon smashed through their houses. It seemed to be looking for something until it spotted Kagome and Bankotsu. After that it headed straight towards them. He could see a faint glow coming from it so it had at least one shard within it's body. Bankotsu reached for Banryu, but then remembered that it was still at the shack. D**n! I'm strong but even i can't defeat it without banryu. But i can't let it get to Kagome!
"Get out of here Kagome! It's after you and your half of the jewel! I'll hold it off until your safe! Then i'll be able to get to banryu!"
He rushed forward and grabbed ahold of the demon. He might not be able to kill it, but he could hold it off long enough for Kagome to escape.
(There, that oughta liven things up a bit. And... i was kinda running out of things to say.)

"Your crazy there's no way i'm leaving,have you forgotten that I have some of Kikyou's spiritual power....I won't abandon you".
Kagome ran back to the shack,grabbed her bow and arrows then came back.Taking out one of her arrows,she notched it onto the bow and aimed the end of it glowing with a blue light.No demon was going to take this jewel from her,not even Naraku himself....she would die first before that would happen.
It was her burden to bare and no one else's,she made the jewel shatter so it was her job to bring them all back together and purify the shikon no tama.Kagome aimed the arrow to where she would not hit Bankotsu,instead she aimed it where it carried the jewel shard but another demon came from the air and pushed her to the ground.
"Get off me.....".

"Kagome!"
As he turned towards Kagome he lost his focus. The demon quickly took advantage of this and attacked. Bankotsu stumbled backwards as the claws raked across his chest. The wound was deep and was bleeding badly, but he paid it no attention. He slammed his fist into the demons face, knocking it down. Then he headed for Kagome as fast as possible, grabbing banryu along the way. When he reached her he swung banryu, cleaving the demon in two. Then he dropped to one knee in front of her, his massive loss of blood makeing him too weak to stand.
"Kagome, are you all right?"

Kagome gave a small groan and sat up,quickly noticing Bankotsu was injured.He had saved her life and she had been nothing but careless,standing up she ran to the shack fractically searching the shelves or anywhere for some medical supplies.Finding some medicinal herbs and bandages she went back to him,it would be better if she had her medical kit though.
"I'm fine don't worry about me,your hurt and the wound....it's so deep but i'll heal you".
Opening the his top and letting the tattered clothes slide down,she went to work cleaning the wound with some water from the sea.Then she used the medicinal herbs to clean out any remaining sea water,using the bandages to then wrap the wound up.
"You wouldn't have gotten hurt if you had Banryu,I should have shot the arrow earlier and not waited".

He winced as she began to wash out his wound. It was painful, but he didn't mind. He was just glad that she was alright. He had been far more worried for her than he had been for himself. In fact he was still worried about her, because there was still one demon left. And he barely had enough strength left to stay upright, let alone defeat it.
"Don't worry about it, it wasn't your fault. It was my fault that i was injured. I not only left banryu behind, but i failed to pay attention to the fight. Now i have to finish it off. I'll be fine so you just stay here."
He implanted banryu's blade into the ground, and using it he managed to pull himself to his feet. Once he finally got himself upright, he turned towards the beach. As soon as he did he was thrown backwards, smashing through the small building. The demon had snuck up on them while Kagome had tended his wound. It grabbed ahold of banryu, but was barely able to lift it. This sword contains sacred jewel shards! Their mine now, and soon i shall possess many more! Bankotsu desperately tried to raise his weak body, as the demon turned on Kagome.

ooc:Even bad guys get writers block lol
Kagome jumped up and grabbed her bow and arrows,she ran for it and when she was far enough once again she notched the arrow on the bow and aimed.This time she wouldn't miss,and send this demon back to where he came from.
"You won't have those jewel shards,i'll take the one you have with you".
Aiming the arrow for the jewel shard he possessed,once again the arrow lit up with the spiritual power as she let it fly towards the demon.Hitting it square where the jewel shard was,watching as the demon turned to nothing but a pile of dust being carried away on the wind out to sea.
Catching the jewel shard,she ran over to where Bankotsu was helping him up.So much for a quiet night,everywhere they go they would be hunted down by demons or by Naraku himself wanting this jewel back.
"Are you going to be okay,here take this jewel shard to add to Banryu".

ooc: Yep, i've got a ton of 'em. ^-^ One for every day of the week and then some.
As Kagome grabbed her bow he picked up a piece of the ruined building. Then he threw at at the demons head. He knew that he had to distract the demon long enough for Kagome to get in a shot. As the chunk of wood struck it's head the demon turned toward him, but it was too late. Before it had fully turned the arrow struck it. Bankotsu managed to pull himself back to his feet just before Kagome reached him. Reaching out he took hold of the jewel shard that she handed him.
"Sure, i'll be fine. I've been in worse conditions than this, and i survived. So don't worry about me ok? Banryu is strong enough even without the two jewel shards that it has. I've got something else in mind for this one."
He was still holding himself up with one hand, so he usedthe other to pulldown part of his bandages. His wound had started bleeding again, but he didn't say anything about it because he didn't want to worry Kagome. Gritting his teeth against the pain, he placed the jewel shard into his wound. He then moved the bandage back in place.
"The sacred jewel can instantly revive demons right? So i figure that a shard of it should be able to make my wound heal faster. Once it's fully healed i'll take the jewel out."
It was obviously working because he could now stand on his own strength. He walked slowly over to where the demon had been and picked up banryu. He looked at it a bit curiously. Even though banryu had become a demon sword, the light given off by the jewel shards within it was not black. It was the light pink given off by pure shards. The one in his own body was giving off the same light. He couldn't understand it, before the jewel shards in him and banryu both had been tainted. He wondered if Kagome knew.
"Kagome, what is it with these jewel shards. Before they were tainted black when they were placed in me and banryu. But now their giving off the light of pure shards."

"Each time I get a jewel shard,I purify it so it doesn't get tainted.If the shards are tainted it makes a person or demon be filled with hatred and bitterness,once the jewel is complete again my journey in the fuedal era will end".
Kagome didn't want to leave the fuedal era,she was afraid if the jewel became complete and purified her gateway to this era would be sealed forever.Kikyou's words lingered in her ears,she had said Kagome didn't belong here and should just stay back in the present.Taking out the half complete jewel,she just seemed to stare at it for awhile.
"The jewel is full of many surprises,it can revive those who are dead and heal the deadliest of wounds.That's why i'm afraid when the time comes,i'll have to disappoint Sango and take the jewel shard that's in her brother's back".
But maybe there was a way to bring him back,Sesshomaru's sword can bring back 100 people in one swing so maybe he could help.But asking Inuyasha's brother would be a fools hope,he was cold and bitter and didn't ever help anyone except for Rin.

When she spoke of leaving, he felt a very painful twinge in his chest that had nothing to do with his wound. She was that first person that had felt anything or than fear and hate towards him. The only person that he had loved and had loved him in return. He didn't really know what she meant by the fuedal era, but he did understand that she would never be back. He didn't know what would become of him if that happened, but that didn't matter. As long as Kagome was happy, he would be too.
"Her brother has a jewel in his back? Do you mean that boy that was working for Naraku? What was his name, Kohaku? So he's that girl's brother is he. And what will happen if you remove the jewel shard from his back?"
He looked over at where the village had been. There were very few buildings left. Still it didn't look like very many people had been killed. There was quite a few gathered around the ruins. They were making sure to keep themselves a good distance from where Bankotsu stood. They still didn't trust him and they probably never would. It didn't really matter to him though. He turned to look out at the water, and his thoughts drifted back to what Kagome had said.
"What will you do with the jewel once it is complete? The sacred shikon no tama is able to grant any wwish of the one who holds it. So what will you wish for?"

"To stay here with my friends,but to still be able to travel between the two worlds".
Kagome felt bad that the village got destroyed,she turned her face away and headed further down the stretch of sand.Looking at the jewel in her hand,she sighed and looked towards the night sky.Kohaku couldn't remember Sango,and if she did take the shard from his back he would die and her friend would be devastated.
"Kohaku will die if the shard is removed,it's what is keeping him alive and under Naraku's control".
Sango always tryed to take him back,but one of Naraku's minions would always block her way and take him.Her only wish is to have her brother back,he's all she has left in this world and to lose him again would break her heart.

Travel between the two worlds? What does she mean two worlds? Well i guess if she wanted me to know then she would tell me, wouldn't she. Well if that was what she wanted to use the jewel for then that was her choice. He still wasn't quite sure, but he thought he knew what he would wish if he got the chance. He shoved banryu's blade into the ground once more, and then sat down beside it. His hand still on it's pommel, just in case something else happened.
"So he'll die if the shard is taken out of his back. Well i guess that complicates things quite a bit doesn't it. Still, i don't think he's actually under Naraku's control. When i met with him he didn't seem like he was being controlled. I got the feeling that he was only pretending to be under Naraku's control. I don't know why, but i'm pretty sure that's the case. But like i said, it was just a feeling that i had."
He began to wonder about it. Was that boy really under Naraku's control? If he wasn't then why was he acting like it? Did he want to kill Naraku? Or was there some other reason? He needed to concentrate more, so he closed his eyes, bowed his head, and crossed his arms across his chest. He just couldn't understand the boy's actions.
