MASK'S
If you know Inuyasha you all about him, You know that he's short-tempered, rude, somewhat disrespectful with an "I don't care" air about himself and is quite cocky. On top of that he's selfish from time to time. You know that he's a half-demon hated by humans and looked down on by full demons. You know that he's strong and brave and could take down any demon without even trying or caring. If you know Inuyasha you would know that he has a crush on the human girl from the future and reincarnation of high priestess, Kikyo, named Kagome Higurashi, but dramatically denies it each time it is brought up.
You know all of this, right?
But what if I was to tell you it was all a lie?
What if I was to tell you that Inuyasha, Loud-mouthed, trouble-making, Inuyasha was none of those thing's listed above?
Well... it is. It's all an act so no one would what the real Inuyasha was like, so he could protect his heart from those he feels would hurt it. That he was actually a sweet, kind, and gentle spirit that only wanted to feel protected and loved, by the person he loved like every other person for once in his life. That this Inuyasha actually hated fighting and was honestly quite shy around others. Especially when it come to bathing with another and when Miroku talks about other women nude he want's to faint. That this Inuyasha was hurting and in emotional pain from not truly fitting in anywhere making him feel empty inside, well, that was until he started seeing his one true love. The one that he was so deeply in love with and was hoping to one day even marry, Band of Seven's leader, Bankotsu.
Yes, Inuyasha and Bankotsu are seeing each other. Inuyasha had long since fallen head over hill's in love for the undead male ever since had he first met him, but he couldn't show or tell him of course he had a persona to keep up you know. So they fought and called each other name's like you normally do to your enemy, but in doing so it was hurting Inuyasha's already fragile heart to be called such thing's especially from your crush. He had been called everything growing up, Worthless, disgusting, disgraceful, even a shameful bastard child made in the face of God, but hearing it from someone you're in love with had made it hurt so much more.
After meeting the other, the half-demon began to dream of Bankotsu almost every night. He dreamed of the undead human making love to him after proclaiming his life long love for him. Most of the time those dream's were so vivid that he would have to go into the wood's and "take care" of himself. He had been luck no one had seen or notice him doing so back then.
But then they fought.
And Inuyasha killed had killed him.
This had made Inuyasha feel terribly guilty as he grieved over his falling love to himself. He would go out into the woods to just cry and beg for forgiveness from him hoping his loves spirit would hear. He had thought of even taking his own life to end the pain of losing him, but then he thought he didn't deserve to end the pain, he deserve to suffer for what he had done.
Then one day Kagome and Inuyasha got into another one of their famous argument's and it had become pretty heated. Sango had long since stopped trying to help and had began to pet a sleeping Kirara hoping the fight would end sometime soon. While Miroku seemed to have been drowning them out by meditating and poor Shippo was covering his sensitive fox ears to try and stop the yelling from coming through as the two continued to yell at one another.
-Flashback-
"Why the hell are you mad at me for?!" The half-demon yelled. He had forgotten how the argument had started (maybe because she sat him three time's already) but he knew it wasn't his fault, nothing ever really was when it came to the fight's with Kagome but had to go along with it and argue back so no one would question him about anything.
When they had finally defeated Naraku they had decided to continue traveling with each other exploring the land and helping other's. Kagome had also continued her visits saying that going back to a normal life after seeing all that she had seen wouldn't cut it, so she comes and stays from time to time traveling with the ragtag group of friends. And they were happy she did.
But... right now, at the moment Inuyasha was kinda wishing she decided to stay home.
"Because I can be!" She yelled back. "And you deserve it anyway, because you're such a jerk!" Inuyasha looked at her as if she had grown a second head. He knew he shouldn't even be surprised by the thing's that come out of the future girls mouth. He honestly was beginning to think she enjoyed taking her anger out of him and if she knew how much her words really hurt his heart she would probably enjoy it more.
and they did hurt...
But for now he had to show he didn't feel a thing.
"What! You dumb wench, that doesn't make sense!" He yelled at her.
"Sit Boy!" Kagome suddenly yelled. Then the bead's around Inuyasha's neck began to glow and quickly pulled him face first into the ground making a carter. His whole body was in pain now, but he knew he couldn't show that so he sat up even though his body was screaming at him to just stay down and glared at the girl and yelled,
"What the hell was that for?!"
"Because I hate you!" Kagome yelled making the sliver haired male's eye's widen.
"Wha..." He couldn't believe she just said that. She had said and called him a lot of thing's, she had never said that she hated him. They were friend's weren't they? sure she talked down to him and something's made him feel horrible about himself but they were still friend's... Right?
"I hate you, your just an insensitive, worthless, rude half-demon that will never be loved!" Kagome yelled. Now everyone was paying attention, watching the two with owl-wide eye's."No wonder everyone hate's you here!" The school girl yelled. The golden eyed male didn't say a word he was too shocked and the other's were too shocked to say anything as well."Your selfish mean and heartless and that's why Kikyo shot with her arrow so she could get rid of you!" Then it was quiet the group looked from Kagome to Inuyasha, waiting, waiting for him to yell back at her and tell her to take that back for him to call her some names, Anything! But wasn't the case. Actually what happened next shocked them all; Inuyasha had turned on his heels with his head down and ran away into the forest before the others saw the tears and hurt in his eye's. He heard his friend's calling for him to come back, but he didn't listen. He couldn't continue to keep up his façade with so much pain in his heart.
He ran trough the forest for what seemed like forever until his leg's finally gave out and he collapsed on the ground in front of a large oak tree. He pulled his knee's into his chest even though his ribs screamed not to and sobbed.
"I-I'm not heartless... I-I care a-about her a-and our f-friend's..." He cried into his knees. He tried to think that Kagome wasn't mad at him, the real him, she was mad at the other Inuyasha the rude and mean that acted like he didn't give a damn about anything like being called a few names... The one that even he hated. But he had to act this way or people, and demon's, wouldn't try to hunt him and kill him for his weakness. So he acted strong and brave to stay alive. But he was lonely, so very lonely and just wanted to show this side of himself to someone who loved him and he trusted completely. Someone he could be happy with but,
"T-that will never h-happen for m-me." He continued cried into his knee's. "I'll never be loved..."
"Inuyasha?'' A familiar deep voice called. It was the same wonderful voice that haunted his dream's of holding him, of being with him forever. It was Bankotsu.
Inuyasha looked up from his knees eye's owl-wide as he saw who had called him. It really was the secret love of his life standing there... Alive. He wanted to hit himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming. To run up to him and see if he touched would he disappear or not.
"It... it can't be..." He whispered in shock. He believe his eyes. Bankotsu was standing in front of him. And the way he was looking at him with a concern look in his eye's... Concern for him. Inuyasha mentally shook his head. Why would someone like Bankotsu be concerned about him? They were still enemies, right? and you don't show concern for your enemy...
"Inuyasha? are you... crying?" The undead Mercenary asked with a shocked expression on his face. Inuyasha looked at the other for a moment before jumping up and glared at the other. He had to put his mask back on and cover up for being caught so vulnerable in front of his crush.
"I can't let him see..." The sliver haired thought sadly. He knew deep down in his heart that he desperately wanted to show him, but he just couldn't it was too risky. He didn't know how he would react. Would he even try to accept him or his love? "Would he laugh? Would he be disgusted?" The golden eyed male thought making himself even more upset and without him noticing, it was starting to so on his face.
"Would he even try to kill me just for being weak?" That last thought horrified him. He had to leave now before it was too late!
Bankotsu looked at him truly concern. He careful reached for the younger's shoulder and once he touched him Inuyasha jumped back in surprise.
"Inuyasha... What's wrong?" He asked getting ready to step forward, but Inuyasha glared and yelled at him.
"G-get away from me!" He growled out trying to sound like his "Normal" self, but the undead male didn't say a word, but he started to glare and began to walk forward toward the smaller. "Wha... what the hell are you doing!" he yelled reaching for his sword only to find that it's not there. "I... I must have left it at the camp..." He thought now a little scared. Was he really going to kill him now? and he had no way of protecting himself. He continued to glare, but still backed away from the taller male trying to find a way out of this. "I-I killed you! How are you here?"
"Stop it." Bankotsu said suddenly in a monotone voice that almost made the smaller flinch. Then the sliver haired male gasped when he felt his back come into contact with a tree. Before he could move Bankotsu quickly blocked him in by slamming both his hands on the side's of Inuyasha's head.
"B-bastard get away from me!" The sliver haired half demon trying not to blush at how close his crush was. It was also really hard to keep up the mask he worked so hard on making, to maintain. He was becoming really scared now. Why wasn't Bankotsu trying to fight him yet? Why wasn't he insulting him? Maybe he was toying with him. Trying to make him think he wasn't going to hurt him, but he was. He couldn't let that happen.
Because he already knew that game.
Then the undead male brought his face closer to the smaller's.
"I told you to stop that." The older male said in a dangerously low tone. Inuyasha was confused to say the least. What could he possibly be talking about and he was so close to him now. It felt like he was going to-
"Mhmm!"
Kiss him... Yup.
Inuyasha blushed deeply with his eye's wide at the feeling of the other's lip's on his own. He didn't know what to do, he never kissed or been kissed by anyone like Bankotsu was kissing him before and now his dreams were coming true. He was being kissed by the man of his dream's!
"I hope this isn't a dream..." Inuyasha thought hopefully. He didn't want to wake up and Bankotsu was dead and he was alone again. Then the undead male licked the other's bottom lip, making Inuyasha gasp. The other, not missing the opportunity, pushed his tongue into the moist cavern. Inuyasha moaned at the taste of the other and his skill's in kissing and the passion behind it. "He's a really great kisser..." Inuyasha told himself. The feeling of the other's lip's on his was amazing, better than anything he had ever dreamed.
But soon they both needed air and separated, a thin trail of saliva connecting them. They stayed silent for what seemed like forever just staring into each other's eyes. Inuyasha was trying to say something, think of something, to say about the kiss, but the only thing that kept coming to mind was-
"why?" and it came out as a low unsure whisper, as if he was scared to hear the answer...
And he was.
Terrified.
"Because I wanted to see the real you." was the answer he had gotten.
"I... I don't understand..." The sliver haired male whispered. Inuyasha was confused The real him? He couldn't possibly mean the real, real him. The real him he has been trying so hard to hide from everyone and that he thought he was doing a good job of doing so far.
"You know what I mean Inuyasha." The undead mercenary told him plainly. Then he leaned down again to whisper in the other's ear. "The mask you wear, You try to hide yourself behind it, but I see it in your eye's each time we meet. The look of loneliness and sadness of not fitting in and not finding someone to love you like you deserve."
Inuyasha looked at him with wide eye's. He could see all of that just by looking into his eye's? How? and was he the only one that can see it? Everyone else seemed to think that the other Inuyasha was the real him, but Bankotsu said he could tell it was made up and phony. His heart started beating like crazy in his chest as he thought about what he just heard. Did this mean that Bankotsu had feeling's for him as well? That thought made Inuyasha want to blush and gave him some hope.
"Why are you saying all of this?'' Inuyasha asked shyly with a slight blush dusting his cheek's and looking down at his bare feet. The sliver haired beauty heard the other sigh, then he felt finger's under his chin and having his head lifted up to meet Bankotsu's amazing blue eye's. Inuyasha felt like he could have stared into them forever. Just one look into those eye's and he felt like he just couldn't fight with keeping his mask up anymore.
"I'm saying this because..." A light blush appeared on Bankotsu's face, which shocked the smaller since the other was always so confident. "Well... I love you Inuyasha." The sliver haired male looked at him in shock before his eye's started to full with tear's.
"I hope you're not joking... because... because I loved you for so long..." Inuyasha admitted tears felling for his eye's.
"Inuyasha..." Bankotsu started but Inuyasha continued.
"And my emotions are not some play thing..." he said. "I'm already in pain... so much emotional pain... and if your messing with me..." The undead male wrapped his arms around Inuyasha's slim waist and pulled him into tight embrace and there the smaller cried. Just thinking about the other's hurting him the way they did. The way Miroku would teased him about things he didn't understand, the way Shippo would lie on him to Kagome getting him into trouble (Which always ends in him being sat) and having the other's believe him without giving him a chance to defend himself. The way some of them would pull on his ear's even though he tell's them it hurt's him, especially Kagome. When she say's he doesn't feel that much pain it hurt. What did she think she was? He felt pain physically and emotionally like anyone else.
He didn't know what he would do if the one he was so deeply in love with was messing with him too.
"Something's I wanna die..." He whispered out as he cried. "Because I feel no one will ever love me... That I'm worthless..."
"You know that's not true!" Bankotsu whispered into the other's ear. "And you're not worthless, who ever put that in your head I'll kill them." Inuyasha heard the other say darkly. Inuyasha didn't know how he should feel about that, but he felt happy, so happy, that someone was so ready to fight for him and defend him with everything they had.
"Really?" The taller nodded. "You would do something like that for me?" The undead male smiled lovingly at the other.
''Of course, your mine now and I promise to treat you like a queen." Inuyasha blushed deeply at that and buried his face into the other's strong chest, making the other laugh.
The half-demon smiled into the other's chest thinking about what he was just told.
"A-a queen? Me?" He thought now really happy. The man he loved, loved him back! and he was saying all these nice things to him and felt so good to hear. Having such nice things said to him made his heart feel warm. When Bankotsu was holding him it was like he was chasing away all of his fear's and loneliness just by his embrace. Now he had found what he was dreaming of for so long. It was Bankotsu and his love and nothing more, because he had given him this feeling of contentment in the smaller's life something he had never felt.
"I... I love you, Bankotsu... so much..." The half-demon whispered looking up at the taller. The undead male smiled and brought his face closer to the smaller's. "I'm so happy you're alive..."
"I love you too, angel." And with that he stole a long passionate kiss from HIS sliver haired beauty.
-End Flashback-
After that day, they would sneak away from much as they can just to see each other. They only did so at night so not to raise suspicion from their friends. Bankotsu would come to Inuyasha's camp and get him so the two would go off into the woods somewhere and just talk about how thing's were going for the other. They would talk about nothing, but everything at the some time and they had even made love for the first time two months ago, When Inuyasha had went through his first ever heat. He was scared at first about both the heat and of making love, but Bankotsu had talked him through it.
And it was amazing.
They were in love and happy with each other and Inuyasha was beyond happy about finding someone who loved him, the real him. The fact he could be himself around someone and they thought it was beautiful.
He didn't know how a personality, let alone his, was beautiful, but Bankotsu thought it was and it made him feel nice and warm inside.
Inuyasha was, in all honesty, still a little weary of Bankotsu and him claiming to love him, but the undead male proved that his love was real for the Half-demon and this made Inuyasha very happy.
He was just so deeply in love with Bankotsu that it hurt just to be away from him when it was time to go back to their other live's. Like someone ripped a piece of him out. They had been doing for four months now and it hard been hard not seeing the other how much they wanted to. They had almost been caught a few time's, (Miroku had wander into their meeting spot and almost saw them together) but they always found a way around and out of it. Nothing was going to stop them from seeing each other.
They were in love after all.
It had been a long day, but it was just like all the other's. Miroku had been the pervert he was and had hit on every women they came across, with earned him a hard slap from Sango who had also been trying her best not to kill him (Which Inuyasha thought was amazing that she hadn't yet), a long with Kirara since the small demon always agree with her master. Shippo would mess with Inuyasha by trying to get him into trouble and begging Kagome for some food from time to time.
And Kagome?
Well she sat poor Inuyasha fifth-teen time's for various reasons. From not listening to her to being a "worthless waste of life". He knew it wasn't true, but that didn't help the fact that it hurt both emotionally and physically. She or the others may not know, but it hurt's for her to sit him way more than he let's on. Something's he would end up with large bruises on his hip's and chest making him want to cry from the pain. He was half human after all and sometimes he healed like a demon and sometimes he did not.
and for some reason or another when she sits him he does not.
He had already been sick with a bad stomach-ache for some weeks now and those sit commands were not helping. He was hoping when they went to go see Kaede-Sama in the morning she could tell him what was wrong.
But, now it was late at night and everyone was sound asleep, expect for our half-demon who was in his tree at the moment staring up at the starry night sky thinking of a certain undead male now.
"I wonder what he's doing right now." Inuyasha thought sadly. The poor half-demon hasn't seen his love in a whole month now and he was beginning to worry. He knew that Bankotsu could handle himself, but it didn't stop his worrying. He kind of felt like a wife waiting for her husband to return from war.
They had never been away from each other this long since they got together and it was kinda scaring the young half-demon. It made him fear that something had happened to the undead male. "I hope he's alright..." Inuyasha whispered in a concerned tone. As soon as those words left his lip's a smell assaulted his nose. It was the unmistakable smell of graveyard soil, old bones and something else entirely. The smell would probably disgust any other demon. but in knowing this smell Inuyasha smiled and welcomed it as he resisted the urge to jump up and down in joy. This smell belonged to Bankotsu.
Inuyasha stiffed the air quickly trying to locate his love, but he didn't have to look long because not even seconds later the undead male landed on the branch right in front of him making him let out a startled gasp.
Pouting slightly, Inuyasha softly pushed against the other's chest before saying, "Bankotsu, you scared me!" But the taller just smiled and pulled Inuyasha into a gentle embrace. The silvered haired beauty blinked, before quickly returning the hug.
"I missed you..." Inuyasha whispered.
"I missed you too, love." Bankotsu whispered back pulling his small love closer to his chest, but the other male winced making him pull back in concerned.
"Angel, what's wrong?" He asked. Inuyasha looked into his love's eyes before looking away. He didn't know if should tell Bankotsu about the fact that he was covered in bruises because Kagome was having a bad day. The other was such a great listener when it came to his problem's, but sometime's he worried he was pushing all his problem's onto him and burdening him with them.
"Not here..." He whispered eyeing his friend's below. Bankotsu looked over as well seeing the sleeping group before looking back at Inuyasha.
"Alright come on..." He said looping his arm's under the smaller's legs and lifting him up, making Inuyasha giggle.
"You don't have to carry me..." The taller did this all the time and he would always halfheartedly try to convince him that he didn't have to even though he enjoyed being the one that got carried around for once (Since he's just about always carrying Kagome), but Bankotsu would quickly convince him that he didn't mind.
"I know my queen, but your much too perfect to touch the ground." Inuyasha blushed, his ears down and back making him look very submissive as he buried his face into the other's chest.
"He's always saying thing's like that..." Inuyasha thought feeling his heartbeat speed up. He still wasn't completely use to being treated so sweetly by someone before other then his mother.
The pair walked, after the taller finally put Inuyasha down, hand in hand through the woods with Bankotsu leading the way. They hadn't been walking for long and no words were said other than the "watch your step" or "careful love" all coming from the undead mercenary. Inuyasha had asked where they were going, but the only answer he receive was a smile and a "You'll see." He wanted to ask again after a while of walking but he didn't want to bug or annoy the other. When they finally stopped they had come to the edge large field with the grass up to his waist. There were no tree's and hundreds of fireflies dusting the starry night sky.
Inuyasha stared in awe.
"Wow..." He had never seen anything like it before. It was so beautiful and he had never seen so many fireflies in one place before. It was amazing.
Then he felt the other's arm's wrap around his waist and rest his head on top of the smaller's.
"Yeah," The undead mercenary started. "I came across this place a long time ago and ever since then I would come here when I needed to think or just to be alone... It's become my... special place."
"Oh..." Inuyasha said a little sadden his ears flatten down against his head. He suddenly felt as if he was intruding on Bankotsu's "Special place". The taller, hearing the sadness in the other's voice, turned Inuyasha around so he was facing him and said, "Well it was my place... Now it's our's." he watched as an adorable blush dusted Inuyasha's cheek's.
"O-our's?" He asked shyly and the undead male nodded.
"Yes our's, what's mine is your's." Inuyasha blushed even deeper and smiled shyly. Bankotsu was so sweet and always knew just what to say to make him feel truly special and important in the taller's life.
"Well its beautiful place!" The sliver haired male said in a happy tone ears now back up. Bankotsu smiled as well and took Inuyasha's hand. He gently pulled him along walked a little father into the field before finally stopping and laying down on his back on the ground, pulling the smaller down with him. Inuyasha laid his head on Bankotsu's chest and the taller began to stoke his hair.
"Where did you go, Bankotsu?" Inuyasha asked suddenly in a whisper. The other male stopped his moments and sighed.
"I was just taking care of some mercenary business." He told the sliver beauty. Inuyasha looked up at him with a worried look in his eye's.
"Did you get hurt?" He asked worried. "What happened?" Bankotsu smiled at his small loves worried-ness and said,
"I'm fine, love don't worry."
"But you were gone for so long..." Inuyasha said sadly. "I was so lonely..." The golden eyed male looked hurt, which sadden the taller. He knew the other was lonely and he never wanted him to feel that way, but it's hard to get away from six other male's without them suspecting something and they needed the money working brought in. He wanted Inuyasha to smile at him and giggle the way he did when he thought something was funny and have his eye's sparkle with the excitement for just about anything.
"I know and I'm sorry about being away from you like that." He said truthfully. "Can you ever forgive me?" Inuyasha looked at him for a moment before smiling.
"Of course I can!" The half-demon told him loudly. "Plus I can never get mad at you Bankotsu and..." He said blushing. "your here now and that make's me happy." Inuyasha had missed the other deeply and had been truly lonely with no one to talk to and understand him the way Bankotsu did.
"I'm glad to make you happy angel." He said before pulling Inuyasha down into a passionate kiss. The sliver haired male quickly responded missing the other's lip's on his own. The older male swept his tongue across Inuyasha's bottom lip asking, no, begging for entrance, which Inuyasha gladly gave him. Bankotsu tongue entered the moist craven and began to move the wet muscle with the other's more shy one. Inuyasha moaned and shyly pushed back. He never believed he was as good as a kisser as Bankotsu, but that didn't stop him from trying, missing the taste of the other.
Bankotsu moved his hand's down to Inuyasha's hip's, but this movement made the other wince and break the passionate kiss.
"Inuyasha?" The undead male said concerned.
"I'm ok, don't worry." Inuyasha told him, but the taller glared slightly.
"Don't lie to me, Inuyasha."
"But I'm-"
"Hurt," Bankotsu finished. "So tell me love, what happened?" Inuyasha sighed, he really didn't want to talk about her and waste his precious time with the love of his life, but he hated lying to the other and knew that if something was wrong with Bankotsu he would want to know and try to help with it anyway he could.
"It... It was Kagome..." He admitted, quickly making Bankotsu beyond furious. How dare that bitch harm his queen in any way, shape, or form? He was tired of hearing her name come up each time something was wrong with Inuyasha. He was so tired and really and for truly wanted to kill the bitch for making Inuyasha her punching bag. But Inuyasha didn't want him to do that. He didn't want him to get in trouble or hurt.
"She sat you again didn't she?" He asked dangerously low tone from trying control his anger for the girl.
"Y-yes..." Inuyasha said feeling weak and ashamed. "S-she said that I was worthless and a unlovable half-demon... I'm not unlovable right Bankotsu?" He asked unshed tear's in his eye's as he looked for his answer in Bankotsu's.
"No, of course not, your the most lovable person that ever existed." He told him truthfully.
"You really think so?" He asked.
"I know so." He said wiping the tear's away. "Now can I have one your beautiful smile's please?" He asked sneaking his head's up under Inuyasha's arms.
"Haha! Stop It!" The sliver haired male laughed as the other tickled him under his arm's. Bankotsu continued to tickle him enjoying the amazing sound coming from his love. "Haha!" his voice squeaked adorably. "Please! C-can't b-breathe!" He manged to laugh out. The undead male stopped his assault on the smaller underarms and Inuyasha laugh's died down into giggles until he just had a smile on his face. Bankotsu smiled as well and leaned up and captured the other's plump lip's with his own.
He gently grabbed Inuyasha'ship and guided him on top of him, having him straddle his hip's. The undead male lower his hands down to Inuyasha's full round bottom gave it a squeeze. The sliver haired beauty gasped breaking the kiss.
"B-Bankotsu!" Inuyasha said in shocked tone while blushing.
"Sorry love, but I just couldn't help myself." Bankotsu told him with a slight smirk. The sliver haired male's blush deepened.
"D-darling you sound just like Miroku when he try's to convince Sango why he touch her bottom." Inuyasha told him.
"Your not going to slap me are you?" He asked raising an eyebrow. Inuyasha giggled.
"No, I could never do that to you."
"Well aren't you sweet." The undead demon said before bringing his hand up and cupping the other's cheek. His hand was, but Inuyasha didn't mind as he leaned into his touch. Bankotsu began to stroke his face with his thumb enjoying the soft skin of his love.
"Your so beautiful, angel." Bankotsu said softly making Inuyasha blush once again. The taller male was always calling him sweet name's like that, but Inuyasha always blushed. He just wasn't use to it. He was always called hurtful names and shunned just about all his life. He didn't know what he did to deserve someone so amazing as Bankotsu, but was glad to had him.
"Your so kind to me, Bankotsu." Inuyasha whispered.
"Of course I am, I love you and you are always kind and caring to the one's you love." The older told him truthfully.
"Oh Bankotsu," Inuyasha whispered gently. "What did I do to make you love me?" Bankotsu smiled then flipped them over so that he was the one on top.
"It's simple really," The undead male told him. "You were you and that's all I could ask for." Inuyasha could have cried at the beautiful words that came from the love of his life.
Inuyasha wrapped his arm's around Bankotsu strong neck and pulled the other's face closer.
"I love you so much, Bankotsu" Inuyasha told him lovingly.
"I love you too, angel my beautiful sweet angel." And with that they sealed their love with kiss, a soft, Loving kiss. They breathed their souls and their love into each other in that kiss as if it was the last one they would ever have.
Inuyasha awoke the next day to find that he was in his tree. He didn't remember coming back to camp which meant one thing. Bankotsu must have carried him back. He smiled a small smile on his face at the thought of the other caring so much to carry his sleeping body back.
"He really is the sweetest man ever..." He thought in a better mood, but it was quickly ruined by the sound of yelling.
"Inuyasha! You stupid mutt I know you hear me!" Kagome yelled up at him. The half-demon sighed there goes his good morning. It was time to put on his mask.
"Yeah, yeah I'm coming wrench." He growled out as he slowly sat up, and began to stretch while yawning. He and Bankotsu must have been out really late last night for him to as tried as he felt right now. Then he heard the two words he hated most,
"Sit Boy!" And as always the beads around his neck began to glow and pulled him out of the tree and right to the ground, face first.
He laid face down in his carter twitching slightly. He could hear Shippo laughing his little head off, which hurt his feeling's, but he couldn't let it show. So he up and glared at the human girl from the future.
"What the hell was that for!" He yelled sounding upset.
"You were moving too slow!" The answer shouldn't have surprised him, but in some way it did. "Now come on you worthless dog we're going to Kaede's Village today!" and with that she turned sticking her nose up in the air and walking to her bike thing.
"Are you alright Inuyasha?" Miroku asked from behind him, genuinely concerned for his friend.
"Yeah, fine." He told going to walk to the rest of the group but a hand gently laid on his shoulder, stopping him.
"What do you want now, monk?" Inuyasha asked trying to sound annoyed, but wanted to know what the monk wanted to say to him.
"You know my friend if there is anything you wish to talk to someone about I here for you, you know this don't you?" The other male said sounding worried which was confusing to Inuyasha. What could he possibly mean by that? He couldn't think about it now since they had to go so he shook off the monk's hand and said,
"Stop acting weird monk and being your ass on before Kagome sit's me again." Inuyasha told him as he began to walk away once again leaving a concern priest behind.
The walk to Kaede's Village was pretty uneventful. Thing's that usually happens when they traveled, happened. For example Miroku tired to feel Sango up once again and got a nice hand shaped bruise on the face for it. Shippo was begging Kagome for a future sneak called "Pocky" every now and again, while Kagome was trying to command Inuyasha to carry her like he was some horse because she was tired and he needed to be good for something.
And was Inuyasha doing?
Well right now he was just trying to ignore the hateful words coming out of Kagome's mouth and think of the next time he'll see him again. Thinking of Bankotsu always made him feel a little better about being away from him and dealing with Kagome easier.
"I wonder what Bankotsu is doing right now..." Inuyasha thought in a better mood.
A while later, the ragtag group of friends reached the village around the time the sky began to turn a beautiful shade of orange. Inuyasha was glad they had finally made it since he was just about at his limit when it came to Kagome. She had, like always, been calling him names and making travelling with her unbearable. He was just glad that she hadn't sat him the whole trip. He didn't need anymore bruises that he would have to try to explain to Bankotsu, who would surely be upset about them anyway.
The as the group made their way through the village Kagome and Sango noticed a stand that had some of the things they needed told the two males that they were going shopping, which made Inuyasha happy seeing as he did have to hear Kagome's voice for a while. Then Miroku saw some pretty woman and ran off after her saying "today was his lucky day " Which made Inuyasha feel bad the poor girl.
Now alone, Inuyasha made his way to Kaede's hut.
"Old Hag ya in here?" He questioned loudly walking into the hut.
"I be here Inuyasha." The older priestess answered turning to him seeing as she was facing her pot. "Were are the others?"
"They went to go buy supplies but they will be here soon as their done I guess." He answered as he went to go sit next to her. When he sat down next to her he remembered what he wanted to ask of her and it was the perfect time seeing as everyone was gone somewhere.
"Ummm... Kaede?" He asked sounding somewhat nervous. Kaede, hearing this, looked at him curiously and asked,
"What is it ye need Inuyasha?" The half-demon blushed slightly, feeling even more nervous about asking her. He didn't want her asking many question's, he couldn't answer.
"Well my stomach's been hurting and I was wondering if you could.. look at it for me?"
"Oh... Alright." She answered. His eyes went owl wide, she's usually a little meaner about it.
"Really," He questioned. "No teasing comments?"
"No, now lay on your back and remove ye cloth." He nodded quickly wanting to get it over with and for her to tell him what was wrong. When he was down and tummy exposed, she got to work ghosting her hands over his skin. She hummed to herself, eyes closed she tried to find the problem. When she was still at it mins. later he was starting get never took her this long to find out what was wrong with someone before.
Then she gasped.
"Oh sweet Buddha above!" She yelled and Inuyasha jumped up looking at her fearfully.
"Whats wrong!"
"Inuyasha, my child, you are-"
"What's going on?" The two in the hut snapped their heads the opening where everyone was standing. Kagome, with Shippo asleep on her shoulder, and Sango, with Kirara as asleep on her's, had bags of new supplies and Miroku was, once again, wearing a new hand print on his face. "Hello?" Kagome said annoyed that they didn't answer her the first time.
Miroku signed and stepped into the hut.
"It had sounded as though someone yelled in here and we had rushed to see if you all were alright." He explained. "What had happened?"
"I need ye all to leave." Kaede said seriously not really, or at all, answering the young monks question.
"But Kaede-Sama what-" Sango said trying to have them stay and know what happen.
"I said leave now, I must question Inuyasha." The old priestess said making everyone look at the half-demon.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome said annoyed that she didn't understand the problem. "What's going on with you tell me now." But Inuyasha huffed and looked away from her, his persona already into place. She glared at him and opened her mouth to say her favorite words;
"INUYASHA SI-" But a hand was quickly placed over her mouth.
"Kagome No!" It was Kaede who had stopped her and everyone wonder how she moved so fast. "You mustn't use the incantation!" She yelled. Kagome blinked at her confused, before nodding. Kaede slowly remove her hand and began to glare.
"Ye all leave now!" This time they quickly flied out, with Kagome falling behind to give Inuyasha one more look before leaving to catch up with the rest.
The old priestess sighed when they were finally gone and turned to the half-demon who was sitting on the floor looking at her.
"Kaede-"
"Inuyasha," She started completely cutting him off." ye are to answer every question I have for you do you understand?" Hearing who serious she was he nodded not wanting to anger her.
"I need to who ye has been mated with Inuyasha." The half-demon's eyes widen at that statement.
"W-what!"
"Answer." She said her serious tone never leaving.
"I-I'm not." He lied, but her glare instanced.
"Yes ye be."
"But-"
"Inuyasha ye be pregnant!" This stopped Inuyasha's next sentence dead its tracks.
''I... I'm what?" He asked stunned. Kaede, seeing this, went and sat down next to him. She put a hand on his shoulder and give him a soft look.
"Ye be pregnant Inuyasha." She repeated, softly this time. He looked down at his flat stomach and put a hand on it. So he didn't hear her wrong, he really was pregnant.
"I'm... Pregnant?" He whispered softly. Kaede nodded to him, but he didn't see as he was looking down at his stomach. So she muttered a soft "yes".
"Inuyasha," she called keeping her voice soft as if she was speaking to a small child. "Please, ye must tell me, who is the father." The sliver-haired demon looked up at her and shook his head.
"I can't tell you yet, Kaede-Sama..." He whispered. "Not until I tell him first." Kaede stared at him for a moment. She wished to press him more about who was the father, but the look he was giving her, it so pleading, she knew it wouldn't end well.
"Alright child, but I must know some things about this... situation." She said. Inuyasha nodded agreeing that it would be fair.
"Ok."
"Do you love him?" She asked.
"With all my heart Kaede-Sama." He answered with no hesitation. He didn't need to think about it.
"And he did not force ye into anything." She asked and Inuyasha blushed understanding what she had meant.
"I... I gave myself to him willingly." He told her. She nodded as she believed him. She could usually tell when Inuyasha was lying to her about something, but the look in his eyes as he answered her questions about his lover showed that he really cared about this person. She wondered who it was that had Inuyasha's eye's sparkle with such love and devotion.
"So... is my baby alright?" He asked after breaking the silence. The old priestess looked back him and smiled.
"Ye child is fine," Inuyasha looked relived at that, but then something crossed her. "But... there is something I must talk to you about." Inuyasha looked tease upon hearing this.
"What is it?" He asked nervously, almost fearfully.
"When I was examining you felt something wrong."
"What is it?" He asked. "Is something wrong with my baby!?" Fear gripped his heart as he asked this.
"Its just... it seems to be under a lot of," She paused looking for the right word to use. "stress."
"Stress?" he repeated and she nodded.
"I've seen it a lot in my life from many women." She starts. "They would be under pressure about one thing or another, from their marriage to their husbands or from family members not approving of the relationship or baby." Inuyasha nodded starting to understand what she talking about. "And this put's a strain on the child their carrying, from what I have seen in my life I have come to understand that the child "catches", if you will, all this stress, they feel it."
"So are you saying I'm hurting my baby?" Inuyasha asked. Kaede looked him sadly and nodded.
" In a way... yes..." She said sadly as saw how Inuyasha was looking.. She didn't wish to be so blunt with him, but it was the truth.
Inuyasha looked back down at himself and rubbed his stomach. He felt unbelievable guilt run through him at the thought having hurt his on flesh and blood. It made him feel like he was terrible person and he didn't deserve to have this child.
"Inuyasha, don't look that way," Kaede says. "There are ways to take the pressure off." He looked back up to her.
"Really?" His lit up with hope at that.
"Yes all ye need to get rid of the things that stress you most." She tells him. Inuyasha started to think after that. There were many things that weighed on his shoulders. It was lying to everyone and himself about who he really was all the while trying to keep his persona in check. It was trying to pretend that different things didn't hurt him and make upset.
Then last, but least.
"Kagome..." He whispered so low, that Kaede almost didn't hear him, almost. She was the most stressful thing that he had in his life. With her hurtful words and her consent sittings he was surprised he wasn't dead.
"Kagome?" Kaede said, sounding confused. What would Kagome have to do with this. "What do you mean?" Inuyasha blushed slightly realizing he had said her name aloud.
"Umm... well..." He really didn't want to explain it. In doing he would have to tell her about him and he just couldn't do that now. "We just... heaven't been getting along." He told her, hoping that would satisfied her.
She nodded seeming to understand. She knew he was holding something back, but let it go.
"Does she know of this person ye have been seeing?" She asked thinking that may be the reason they haven't been getting along since she knows on the feelings Kagome has for Inuyasha, but the half-demon shook his head.
"No, no one even knows I'm seeing anyone, but you." He explained her. "If I told her she would totally sit me!" Kaede narrowed her eyes slightly at that.
"She's been sitting you?" She asked. Inuyasha gave her a strange look and nodded slowly.
"Yeah... she's been sitting me ever since she got this necklace around my neck," He says holding the necklace in his hands while looking down at it. "You know that." She nodded knowing all too well.
"Yes, let me rephrase my question," She said. "Has she been sitting you lately?" Inuyasha nodded, remembering being sat so many times today.
"That is bad." She told him.
"Why?" He asked. Kaede was quiet after that, worrying Inuyasha. "Kaede-Sama?" This snapped her out her thoughts. "Is something wrong?"
"I believe that her sittings may be harming your child as well." She said. Inuyasha look at her with wide eyes.
"What?" He was hoping he heard her wrong, but when he heard her repeat herself he felt... he couldn't explain it. He knew being sat hurt, but not like this. He didn't know it was hurting, no killing, his baby. He felt so sad thinking of his child dying because of her, the thought of her probably laughing if she found out that was what she had done.
"Inuyasha... I think you need to tell the others about the baby." Kaede told him.
"NO!" He yelled, scaring the old priestess.
"Inuyasha?"
"Kagome can't know!" He yelled sounding so scared of the very idea. "She'll kill my baby! She'll kill it, she'll kill it!" He yelled over and over again, tears starting to run down his cheeks. Kaede stared at him shock not completely sure of what to do. She was pretty sure she had never seen Inuyasha dry like this. He was crying in fear of his baby being killed.
"Inuyasha, please stop." She said finally, wrapping her arms around him. "It's going to be alright, no ones going to hurt your baby." She whispered softly as he cried into her chest. "We don't have to tell anyone of the baby if ye does not wish it." The half-demon looked up at her and wiped his face of tears.
"W-we don't?" He asked sounding so vulnerable. She smiled down at him and nodded.
"We stall tell them something else, something that will keep Kagome from sitting you." Inuyasha smiled up her and surprised her again by hugging her and saying "thank you" over and over again. She had never seen him like this before and as ashamed she is to say it.
She liked him this way.
Not like crying his eyes out at thought of having his baby killed, but him being as sweet as he was in this very moment. She didn't know that Inuyaha so... Cute.
"It is no problem child." She told him patting his back in comfort. Inuyasha let go and sat back in front of her, a sweet smile graced his lips as he did so. She wanted to ask why he would think something so horrible would happen if Kagome found out, but she feared another meltdown from him if she asked.
"Thank you for keeping this a secret for me, it means so much." He told her sounding so much more relieved now. Kaede smiled at him told him it was nothing, before going back to her neglected pot, her food was starting to burn. The half-demon more away a little ways away from her and sat with his hand on his stomach. He didn't how he could have forgotten that he could become pregnant. He was a beta demon meaning he was destined to bare and mother he's future pup's, not to raise and to father like an Alpha. the old flea demon, Myōga, was going to have a heart attack if he found out he was having a baby and Bankotsu's baby no least...
"Oh Kami!" He said suddenly giving Kaede quite the scare. He had to tell Bankotsu about this right away. The undead had said to Inuyasha more then once about how he wanted to start a family, but never he would be able to. He never really told Inuyasha why he thought so, but doesn't matter now.
He jumped up from where he was sitting raced out the hut, yelling one more thank you over his shoulder. He ran though the small village running past everyone out including his ragtag group of friends that noticed the happy smile on his face.
"Was that Inuyasha?" Shippo asked on Kagome's shoulder.
"I believe it was." Sango answered.
"I wonder what has him in such a rush?" Miroku asked. Everyone looked at him and back to the trail Inuyasha had taken wondering the same thing.
"Let's go find out now!" Kagome piped up sounding determined to she what would have him so happy. The group looked at her now.
"I don't think we should," Miroku said "It must be something personal that he doesn't wish to tell us."
"Right, so we must respect that." Kagome rolled her eyes and put her hands on her hips.
"Oh come on you guys, what if it's something dangerous and he didn't want to tell us because he thought we would get hurt? I mean remember the way he and Kaede-Sama was acting earlier?" The two looked at each other for moment before looking back at her.
"Alright we're in." Sango told the girl from the future. Kagome smiled resisted the urge to laugh maniacally. Now that she had them right where she wanted, she was going to find out what was going on with Inuyasha today, and every other day that she noticed something was different about him.
Inuyasha ran thought the woods to find Bankotsu's compound that wasn't very far from the village. He didn't ran at his top speed, because of his new condition and the words of Kaede repeating his mind.
"I can't believe it!" he said aloud as he ran. He was pregnant and with the love of his life's child no less. He was so happy, they were really going to start a family together and live happily ever after, like he always dreamed. This was all that played in his head was ran to get to Bankotsu's home. He was so excited that he didn't notice the group of humans and two demons flying above the treetops following him to his destination.
It didn't take long before Inuyasha made it to the compound and he saw the person he was looking for sitting in the front step.
"Bankotsu!" He yelled gaining to others attention. The undead mercenary looked up to see running to him.
"Inuyasha?" Bankotsu said in a shocked and confused tone as he stood. "What-" He began, but was cut off when the other threw himself at him.
meanwhile five spies hidden in a nearby tree watched and listened to the pair.
"Is that Bankotsu?" Sango whispered in shock. The other three looked in shock as while. They had all long thought that he and his group of mercenaries had been killed by Inuyasha. So you can understand their shock of confusion.
"I believe it is." Miroku said watching the scene in front of them. "And it seems that he and Inuyasha has become friends." He added as he saw them pair hugging.
"No way!" Kagome whispered in an upset tone. How dare Inuyasha become friends with anyone and not tell her about it. If this was true he was going to get a serious sitting when they got back to the tree.
"But Inuyasha is hugging him." Shippo chimed in as he sat on top of Kagome's head to see. "That makes them friends right?" He asked innocently. Kagome growled and Sango and Miroku exchanged looks.
"I missed you Bankotsu..." They heard Inuyasha say making them quiet down and focus back on the scene in front of them.
"I missed you too angel." This surprised the group and even made them wonder if they heard him right.
"D-did he just call Inuyasha..." Sango didn't even finish as she looked over at her friends faces and it told her that they all heard it as while. And they didn't only hear him call the half-demon angel, but it was the way he said it. It was so...
Loving.
"I don't think we should be watching them anymore..." Sango whispered, suddenly feeling very guilty of spying on Inuyasha and his friend.
"What!" Kagome said harshly. "You can't chicken out on us now!"
"I think Sango is right, this feels... wrong." Miroku said also feeling a little guilty about spying. The girl from the future glared at them.
"Are you two serious! We came all this way and just going to-to just leave!?" She whispered harshly. She couldn't believe that they were just going to try and leave after they came all this way. It wasn't going to happen.
And before they could say anything more they heard Shippo gasp.
"You guys look!" He said pointing in the direction of the pair they were spying on. Sango and Miroku looked from the small fox demon and to scene and gasped as well.
"Oh my..." Sango whispered while Miroku mouth hung open ready to catch flies. Kagome gave her friends confused looks before looking to see what had them looking this way.
And what she saw had her blood boiling.
It was Bankotsu and Inuyasha...
Kissing... Passionately.
"That Bastard!" She whispered harshly.
"Kagome..." Shippo said in a worried others looked at her worried as while.
They all knew how Kagome felt about Inuyasha, it was obvious. They all thought Kagome and Inuyasha were going to be together, especially Sango. She always thought they were destined to be together, since Kagome was the reincarnation of Kikiyo, Inuyasha's first love. She was the one to find him attached to the tree and free him, it was like fate, a second chance for them to be together.
"But I guess I was wrong." She thought as she looked at her who was gripping the branch they were all on in anger.
"I can't believe him!" The future girl hissed, the branch in death grip breaking. He was in so dead when she got her hands on him! Didn't he know he was suppose to be with her? That they were meant to be.
"Kagome please calm down." Sango whispered softly, but it went unheard by the human girl.
"I can't believe him," She hissed again, never taking she eyes off of the... couple. "He's suppose to be with me!"
CRACK!
"me..."
CRACK!
"Me.."
CRACK!
"ME!"
SNAP!
"AHHHHHHH!" They all yelled as the branch had finally snapped under Kagome's grip. They all fell to the ground with a loud thud, falling on top of each other. Miroku unfortunately at the bottom.
"Ugh... My back..." He moaned in pain. The others moaned as well while Shippo sat comfortably at the top which was Kagome's back.
"Ugh..." Sango groaned. "Is everyone ok?" Everyone mutter yes and they began to untangle themselves from each other.
"Guys?" They heard a confused voice say. They all looked up to see Inuyasha standing over them with Bankotsu by his side. "What are you doing here?"
"Ummm... Nothing?" They squeaked in unison. Bankotsu shook his head and leaned down next to Inuyasha's ear.
"I believe they were spying on us angel." He whispered. The smaller gasped and stared at his friends (who were now standing) with wide eyes.
"Y-You guys were spying!" Inuyasha yelled upset.
"Ummm..." Sango said smartly.
"Oh Kami, How much did you guys see?" Inuyasha asked.
"They saw everything love." Bankotsu answered making Inuyasha turn to him.
"What?" Inuyasha asked confused.
"They followed you here and saw everything after you arrived." Bankotsu answered eyeing the group.
"So they saw us..." Inuyasha's blush deepen. "Oh no..." This couldn't be happening. He wasn't ready for them to know about them and in a way he never wanted them to know. He wanted to have this to himself, but now they knew. What were they going to say now? Were they going to hate him now? Did they he was disgusting for loving another man?
"It's alright love I'm here for you." Inuyasha looked up at Bankotsu and nodded. That's right, Bankotsu was here for him and he would make everything ok.
"So... you guys are together?" Sango asked, seeing as everyone was still in some type of shock. Inuyasha sighed and nodded.
"I guess this was going to happen sooner or later... But I was really hoping never." Inuyasha thought sadly, but deep down he knew it had to happen one day.
"How about you all come inside and we can talk about everything." Bankotsu suggested before looking down at Inuyasha.
"Is that alright love." The half-demon gave him a small smile and nodded.
"Yes, that's fine." And with that said, Bankotsu took Inuyasha's hand into his own and pulled him along towards the compound he called home. The others exchange looks before cautiously walking behind them.
Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Kagome walked in silence behind the couple. The pair were chatting and giving each other little kisses like no one was watching. They ragtag group were stunned to see the half-demon act this way with the undead mercenary. He was giggling, actually giggling and smiling at the taller, he was even cuddled up to the others arm. It was all very shocking.
They had never seen this side of Inuyasha before. The Inuyasha they knew was rude , a little brash, and short-tempered. But this... This Inuyasha was none of those things and never was. He was acting sweet and shy and it was obvious to them that being with the undead male had made him this way.
And it was pissing Kagome off greatly.
The way Inuyasha was acting him, letting Bankotsu kiss on him. It was disgusting! Didn't he know what he was doing was wrong? That he was suppose to be with not him, but with her?
"I should sit him right now!" The human girl thought darkly, but she choose against it. She was going to let them "explain" And then she would open Inuyasha's eyes to the truth.
When they made it to their destination, they found the it was a well furnished sitting room. They all walked over to the long table that was in the center and sat down on the pillows. Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kagome on one side and Bankotsu and Inuyasha on the other.
That was quiet no one saying a word, just looked, well Kagome glared, at each other.
"Well I guess I should start explaining." Inuyasha said breaking the silence. The others nodded and the other took a deep breath. "It started four months ago..." And he began to explain the beginning of their relationship and all they did to see each other even telling them about his real personality and way he hides it. all the while Kagome's glare was on him. "And we've been together ever since." He finished looking over at Bankotsu who smiled. "I love him... and I hope you all understand that... but if you don't I understand..."
"Its ok Inuyasha we understand, rights guys?" Sango said first to recover from the amazing story. After hearing all of that, she knew that Inuyasha wasn't going to be with anyone else, but Bankotsu. Shippo and Miroku nodded, but Kagome's glare stayed strong.
"Yes and I think I speak for everyone that we are sorry for making ever feel upset or uncomfortable around us." Miroku added and Sango and Shippo nodded in agreement.
"You can always be yourself around us, Inuyasha we love you." Sango finished. The half-demon had to resist the urge to cry. They were all being so nice to him even after he told them all about him that he kept secret for so long. They really were his friends.
"Thank you..."
"I'm sorry too Inuyasha I didn't mean to hurt your feelings..." The small fox demon said sadly. He always believed that he was just playing with Inuyasha. He didn't know he was hurting him. He loved Inuyasha.
"Its alright Shippo." Inuyasha said with a small smile. Shippo crawled out of Kagome's lap, across the table, and into Inuyasha and Bankotsu. When he made it he sat himself in the half-demons lap and looked over at the undead mercenary with a serious look. "So... Are you going to marry Inuyasha?"
"S-Shippo!" Inuyasha exclaimed blushing madly.
"I'm just asking!" The small demon said defending himself. Inuyasha opened his mouth to scold him, but was cut off when a pain shot from his stomach.
"Ugh...!" He moaned before putting a hand his lower abdomen.
"Inuyasha what is it?" Bankotsu said in a panicked tone. The pain in the half-demons subsided and looked up the undead male and smiled.
"It was nothing, just the-" Suddenly stopped talking and looked down at his stomach with wide eyes. "How could I have forgotten..." He whispered.
"Love," Bankotsu still worried. "Whats wrong?" Inuyasha looked up at him and smiled again.
"Nothing, everything's great." He said in a happy tone. "But I need to tell you something important."
"What is it?" Bankotsu asked nervously. Inuyasha took a deep breath and looked Bankotsu in the eye.
"I'm... I'm pregnant!" Bankotsu and everyone else at the table looked at him with owl-wide eyes.
"What?"
"I'm pregnant..." Inuyasha frowned when he saw that Bankotsu wasn't making any move. "You're not happy..." He said sadly.
"What..." He said snapping out of his shock. "No, No I'm happy!" He said taking a hold on Inuyasha and pulling him close. "You're having my child why wouldn't I be happy."
"Oh, you worried me for a second there." "Oh thank goodness." Inuyasha thought relieved. The look on his lovers face made him worried that maybe Bankotsu didn't won't a child after all.
"OK THAT'S IT!" Kagome suddenly shouted making everyone look at her. "I CAN'T WATCH THIS ANYMORE!"
"Kagome!" Sango shouted in shock. "Don't do this now!"
"No! I can stay still and watch you fall for this-this bullshit!" She yelled standing up. "Inuyasha doesn't belong to him! He belongs to me!" Kagome continued. She looked at Inuyasha and glared. "I can't believe that you would do this to me!" She yelled pointing to herself. "And the fact that you all acting like its ok!"
"You can't have his baby! I'll make sure of that!" She yelled. Making Inuyasha's eyes widen. "Inuyasha Si-!"
"No!" Bankotsu yelled and in a flash he had the human girl by her neck and off the ground. "Don't you dare hurt him." He growled out. "Or our child" He brought her face closer. "you try to kill my child, I kill you." He began to put more pressure on her neck causing her to make noises showing that she was struggling to breath.
"Bankotsu no!" Inuyasha yelled Getting up carefully moving Shippo off of him. He ran over to him and grabbed on the undead males arm. "Don't kill her, please! You'll get in trouble!" But it seemed that Bankotsu didn't heard him as he only tighten is grip on the girls neck. This was it, he was finally going to get rid of the one that caused his lover so much pain... All those bruises.
She had to pay.
She had to die.
"Please!" Inuyasha yelled pulling on his arm. "If you do this, people will surely come after you!"
"She tried to hurt you, to kill our baby!" He argued, but Inuyasha didn't give up. He couldn't let him do this. If he killed her it would mean he would get in trouble. Everyone loved Kagome especially since she was the reincarnation of Kikyo. People didn't even know Bankotsu was alive again and if she died by his hand it was a chance they would send someone after him and they could kill him! He couldn't have that! He couldn't lose him again!
"Think about our baby!" Inuyasha yelled suddenly.
"Our... baby?" Bankotsu said slowly coming out of his trance.
"Yes, I can't raise it all alone!" Inuyasha said. "I need you... we need you." The undead male looked over at the smaller and saw eyes were begging for him to let go.
"Please..." With that Bankotsu let here go and she dropped to the ground. Sango and Miroku rushed to her side to see if she was still alive.
"I... I'm so sorry Inuyasha I-"
"Shhh..." Inuyasha whispered softly. "Its ok, you were just defending me." He said before hugging the taller tightly. The Undead male quickly hugged him back, pulling him close to his chest. He didn't mean to let his anger get the best of him and in front of Inuyasha no less. Bankotsu looked over at the unconscious girl as her friends were checking her.
"Is she breathing?" He asked unconcerned. Miroku, not looking up at him, nodded.
"yes she's fine, but I think we should get her out of here before she wakes up." He nodded in agreement. He didn't want her anywhere near Inuyasha and their unborn child. He couldn't risk her trying something like that again.
"We're put her on Kirara." Sango said. The young monk nodded and wrapped his arms around the unconscious girl and lifted her up.
"I'll help you." Inuyasha afford, but Sango shook her head.
"No we got it," She said taking one side of Kagome and putting her on her shoulder. "but it won't be any room on Kirara for Shippo with Kagome unconscious and all so I was wonder if you would..."
"Watch him?" He asked and she nodded. "Of course I don't mind as long Shippo doesn't." He said looking down at the young demon who had long since moved from where Inuyasha had sat him to were Kagome had been laying to see if she was ok.

"Well are you going to marry Inuyasha?"
"S-Shippo!"
See you on chapter 2!
