***Disclaimer: Usual things, I do not own Inuyasha characters. The plot and story was given to me to rewrite so I took advantage of the moment.
I think before commenting me on the story you should thank yingyang28 for coming up with such a amazing plot. I just revised it a little.
The Ban-Kag pairing will get closer and closer as each chapter comes. I like relationships to come slowly. However, there will be a lot of bashing of Kikyou loll soz fans of her but I promise I won't bash so much, I think.
Do read my other fanfic, Happy: the Sailor Wars, a story with S/U of Sailor Moon pairing and Inuyasha: The Final Act. I might not be updating that one that much cause I have a notebook with the whole thing I wrote but I do not know… And check out my new story Black Roses!
If you are NOT a Bankotsu and Kagome supporter.
Do not read it!
Last time…
"Naraku! Let me go!" Kagome yelled trying to break his grip on her wrist.
Bankotsu push Inuyasha with full straight sending him to the ground before charging at Naraku.
Momo suddenly transformed biting Naraku's hand on Kagome's wrist. Naraku let go with a wail. Momo quickly picked Kagome up going into the sky when he attacked.
"Gojou Tama!" and all hell broke loose.
"Gojou Tama!"
Kagome watched in shock as Momo lifted her from the ground as Bankotsu unleashed his attack on Naraku. There was a massive explosion. Momo was in the air, with Kagome on her back. Kagome looked around desperately. Where is he? Her mind screamed at her. Dust was everywhere. Dust was her first thought, however, she realized it was something else.Miasma and Saimyōshō!
Kagome eyes widen and she grabbed her hair and screamed.
"NO!" she yelled.
Momo swiftly dodged the Saimyōshō coming at them. Kagome grabbed a bow and arrow and pointed it into the Miasma and Saimyōshō. She then spotted a sparkle of Shikon No Tama. "Momo, When I release this, I want you to quickly go to its target, got it?" Kagome said. Momo growled and response. Kagome shot the arrow creating a free purified area. "GO!" she told Momo. Momo swiftly flew into the area. Kagome reached out her hand and he grabbed it. Momo flew both of them out of the Chaos just as Kiara with Sango, Shippo, and Miruko on them. Inuyasha leaped out the chaos holding Kikyo on back.
"Are you alright?" Kagome looked back at Bankotsu. "Yeah. Look." He pointed down to the chaos. Everyone looked to see a broken Naraku rising out the chaos. Half of his body was gone.
"Bankotsu did this?" Kagome thought.
Naraku glared at Kagome and Bankotsu then shot his glare to Kikyo and Inuyasha, who were on top of a tree.
"This," he began referring to the four of them. "is not over." He then disappeared.
As he disappeared, the chaos disappeared along with him. Kagome and Kikyo locked eyes just as Bankotsu and Inuyasha did so.
"K-kagome!" Sango called, making sure no one starts yet another fight.
Kagome looked at Sango, before smiling.
She jumped, startled when she felt a hand rest on her side.
"Can we leave?" he whispered.
Kagome looked back at him before nodding.
"Alright," she said. "Bye Sango!" she waved as Momo flew off into the distance.
"She's working with an enemy, Inuyasha! What if she wanted to turn on us? Like she did earlier!" Kikyo fussed with Inuyasha.
"Kagome wouldn't do it. I know her." Inuyasha said, leaning against a tree. Him and Kikyo have been at it almost an hour. She wants to fight Kagome so bad. Nevertheless, Inuyasha would not let her.
"Inuyasha, you thought she went home but no she went and aid an enemy! She's not loyal, she never was!" growled Kikyo.
"Kikyo, it's late, can we get some rest and talk about it when the others wake up?" Inuyasha asked, pleading. Kikyo narrowed her eyes at him. I am losing my grip on him.
"Alright, fine."
Kagome laid on her stomach watching Bankotsu sleep. They were just eating before he dozed off.
Not that she minded.
Suddenly Kagome heard a noise in the forest. She quietly got up and went to go examine it. She left Momo to rest with Bankotsu.
Once to the noise she froze on the spot. Kagome gasped and paused when she saw Kikyo unconscious on the floor. Inuyasha was trying to fight a massive, powerful looking demon. Sango rushed ahead of Kagome, as Kikyo returned to consciousness.
"Now I'm mad!" Sango yelled running forth and striking out with her daggers. They clunked uselessly against its armor. With no questions to ask Kagome joined the battle.
"Sango! We have to get it further away from that village!" She called as Kikyo shot her arrow at it. It had no effect whatsoever!
"Yeah, you're right! But how!" Kagome took a moment to glance at Sango who was looking weak, Miruko was helping her stand.
"Get her out of here!" Kagome yelled shooting arrows. Sango was protesting and trying to stand and fight but she collapsed again. Obviously this thing had really done a number on her. Miruko rushed her away before she could stop him and Kikyo and Kagome were left alone. Kikyo had shot at the thing and again found it had not penetrated the armor.
"Kikyo!" Inuyasha called coming up beside them with his sword ready. "Leaving me out on the fun are we?" He said grinning. Kikyo smiled back as she watched him slice at the demon. Again, no effect. "This one looks tough." They watched in horror as a puzzling sound came from the demon, as if it were scanning something. Kagome took the time to cast again and take in the machine's appearance.
It's mid section was bulged with thick armor that she doubted any weapon could pierce through. Two huge arms were expertly attached, ones that looked slow but she soon found very quick to react. It seemed to move about on wheels, a potential weakness. However this idea was soon squashed when she realized they were metal. If the arms weren't there she might have been able to crawl under and see if a spell in the gap of the wheels would damage some of the inside. But if she tried it would just hit her with the arms…
"Scanning." A robotic voice reported making Kagome shiver. "Identified, Inuyasha. Potential target." An arm came up towards Inuyasha and before he could react had whacked him, knocking the wind from his body and throwing him back near the bridge. Luckily he landed on it and not in the waters below. Kikyo gasped and began casting while the demon continued its scanning. "Identified, High Priestess Kikyo. Potential target." The other arm came and struck her before she finished casting and she flew back near Inuyasha. Kagome gasped.
"Oh no!" She yelled pausing to cast a cure spell at the lovers. She froze slightly when she heard the robotic voice begin again.
"Identified, Kagome. Princess of the Shikon No Tama. Target" What? Princess? Since when? In addition, not a potential target. What made her so different? The thought was forgotten when the arm began swinging down towards her, not aiming to knock her back but to crush her! The impact happened with a loud clang of metal on metal and Kagome suddenly remembered to breathe "Searching for potential weakness" The voice reported causing Kagome to groan and steer her beloved demon towards the beach, away from the village and from Kikyo and Inuyasha. Hopefully someone would find them while she distracted this thing.
The demon began to chase her and she whimpered slightly. Being alone was no fun, it was just scary. Soon this thing was going to catch her, and then what?
You'll die She told herself You can't defeat this thing alone.
"Weakness found, vulnerable to thunder element."
"Oh shit." Kagome moaned as she heard a thunder spell being prepared. "Well, if I'm going down you're getting a fight first!"
Kagome yelled out in pain as the fourth thunder spell coursed through her barrier. Her barrier suddenly disappeared, it's power was lost. Now she was helpless in front of the large demon and she could only try and stop tears of pain. One of the arms began to lift up slowly, obviously enjoying the moment, making her suffer more than necessary. She glared at it with defiance as it began to lower its arm…
The demon had suddenly turned its powerful arm from and turned to scan the sky. Kagome looked up to see what it was. A thick wire he been fired and had penetrated into the sand near to her. She grinned and climbed to her feet as she saw someone sliding down. She cast a cure to herself as the person reached the safety of the sand. Well…not that the location was very safe.
"Come to join the fun?" She asked the man, he just nodded at her and took a place beside her. He was in a suit of armor, so she didn't know who he was exactly. But he seemed so familiar.
The demon began scanning him.
"We need to break through the armor!" She told him, he nodded silently and placed one hand on his hip while dipping around in his pocket for something.
The boy threw something at the demon and it was blinded in light, she had no idea what it was. But when she put her arms down that had been shielding her eyes she could see a slightly weaker area in the armor. She grinned and struck out her arrow and saw that it had actually effected the thing.
"When this is over remind me to kiss you!" She yelled as she watched him take another one of those grenade things out and use it again. She giggled happily spinning about when she saw another part of the armor weaken.
"Iden…identified, Bankotsu. Leader of the Band of Seven. Primary target!" Kagome gasped and gazed at the man beside her. She should have known! His hip action, the cocky stance…
"There goes the plan." Bankotsu muttered quickly changing to his normal outfit and producing his enormous sword, Banyru. He swung at the demon and watched with satisfaction as it sank to the ground slightly. Kagome finished the demon off with arrow. She watched the demon shut down on the floor and was about to move to begin disassembling it when she felt someone grab her arm.
"Do I get a kiss now?" he asked with a cocky grin on his tired face. Kagome glared at him and then gave him something he would not have expected, although not as nice as a kiss. Well, certainly not in his opinion anyway. "Fuck, Kagome!" Bankotsu groaned behind her as she allowed a smile to cross her features. Maybe she had gone a bit far, but he did tease her a lot. "Serves you right, pervert!" She said swinging around and sticking her tongue out. Apparently Bankotsu had finally recovered because he stood upright again, looking pretty tired and angry. Kagome giggled nervously. He quickly grabbed her wrists tightly and came in inch away from her face. She could feel his soft breath against her mouth and she swallowed.
"You offered." He said with a smirk before letting her go and walking in a circle around the fallen demon. "It was too easy." He commented before trying to remove the weakened armor from the front. Kagome didn't bother helping.
"What do you mean easy!" She yelled in common. "That thing took out Kikyo, Inuyasha, Sango and Miruko with one swoop for each! How was that easy?" Her face was red with anger and Bankotsu smirked at her reaction.
"I'm just saying that I doubt we hit the core of the thing. It seems doubtful it died just because of couple of hits." His cocky attitude fell for a moment as he checked her over. "You okay? You seem pretty shaky."
Kagome just stamped her foot and turned away from him.
"Yeah I know, but at least…" He was interrupted by the sound of the demon moving about behind him. He turned round and saw the demon waving arms about as if nothing had even damaged it before. "Shit." He moaned. "Told Ya it was too easy." Kagome just mumbled under her breath while casting herself a cure spell before getting ready.
"You're going down!" She yelled happily while shooting at the thing. This was the adventure she needed! Just as long as her friends didn't have to be dragged unwillingly into it.
Kagome cried out as the arm whacked her roughly. Luckily, though the demon did not seem to be as strong as the first time and she healed herself. Bankotsu sliced at the demon looking slightly worried and very tired. Kagome smiled at him for encouragement.
This was the third time the demon had resurrected itself, each time it was weaker but so were they. It was too tiring, too much energy wasted to begin with. Bankotsu hadn't looked very alert even before it had restarted the first time! There had to be something else they could do.
"We have to do something! It just keeps restarting!" She whined while preparing to cast darkness. "Owie!" She yelled as she let the attack loose. Maybe this wasn't so fun after all.
"We have to disable the main core! We have to break through the armor more!" He said tossing a break armor grenade. Kagome followed suit with the one she had been given earlier. The demon collapsed for a moment then but as they came closer to disable it before it restarted again it knocked them back with an arm. Kagome groaned and felt a potion wash over her.
"Bankotsu watch out!" Kagome screamed as the demon struck Bankotsu in the stomach. The armor reduced the damage and Bankotsu grinned with a new found amount of cockiness. He aimed again and swung, watching as the two wires penetrate into the weakened areas. Electricity then ran down the wires and into the weak spots. The demon screamed in pain. Bankotsu gasped slightly as he sunk to his knees.
Just when he was about to close his eye he felt an cure hit him. He sighed and climbed to his feet aware that the wires were still connected to the demon but the electricity had stopped. The demon seemed pretty bashed up but already it was beginning to move again.
"Does it ever give up?" Kagome moaned. Bankotsu grinned at her grabbing hold of his weapon tightly and pulling as hard as he could. It wasn't what he was meant to do, the weapon was designed to release the wires when he eased his grip on the trigger, but this would be much more effective.
Kagome had obviously quickly picked up what he was trying to do and grabbed hold of the weapon too, pulling with all her might. Bankotsu took a moment to grin at her before pulling as hard as he could. He gripped hold of it even tighter and pulled trying so hard he was gritting his teeth. Kagome was the same next to him. Then he began to feel it, the metal give way…
"It's starting up again!" Kagome said pulling with all her might, Bankotsu grinned.
"That might be a good thing." She stared at him as if he was insane, which he was sure he was by this point. He nodded his head towards the demon rather than trying to explain. As it began moving about the armor gave way more, not able to take the strain. Kagome laughed as half the metal detached itself.
"When this is over remind me to…"
"Kiss me?" He asked hopefully receiving an eye rolling.
"You wish." She muttered before they were both thrown to the ground when the armor tore loose from its owner. He grabbed Kagome by instinct and made himself fall on his back to take the shock of the impact. He laid there dazed with Kagome on top of him realizing this was the first time he'd laid down for two days. He tried to ignore the effect Kagome's closeness was having on him. He groaned as pain shot through him, glad that his armor had absorbed most of the impact.
"You okay?" Kagome asked rolling off him and gazing into his eyes. He nodded and then suddenly remembered where he was. From the look on Kagome's face, she must have just realized too. She threw a cure over him before climbing to her feet and dragging him up. The demon was in a sorry state, the front part now showing it's inside wires and vulnerability. Yet it was still going. Bankotsu fixed his demon eye to scan and saw what the needed to do.
"The main core is in the centre of the wiring." He told Kagome quickly. "If I can get to it and disable it the restart programmer will be overridden.
"But how the hell are we supposed to get near it without being squished by those arms?" Bankotsu grinned at her and held up what looked to be some type of control.
"That's where this baby comes in." he said, signaling Banyru.
"Someone is controlling this thing, you can tell by the sequence of the restarting method. If it was just an automatic programmer then it wouldn't take a few minutes to start up again." He explained while tearing past wires to find the core, Kagome helped him numbly. "Whoever is using this first builds up some restored power before restarting it again. It's why it's still strong after every time we defeat it. I was able to override their control on it, but it won't be long before they get it back up and running. We have to get the core out before that happens." Kagome stopped a moment and looked at Bankotsu with a smile. He noticed her staring and turned his gaze to her.
"Get behind me and don't move until I tell you." He said.
"Right!" Kagome quickly dashed behind him close enough so the attack will not hit her.
Bankotsu raised his sword.
"Ryuraisen!"
Lighting hit everywhere around Bankotsu and Kagome.
Once the last lighting struck, Kagome drop to her knees tired.
The demon was crusted and dead. The only remainders were his dust.
"Finally." She sighed.
