Chapter 9: The Request
"Did you want it to be Inuyasha, Kagome?" Jakotsu asked. "Because it looked like you wanted it to be."
"Well, I do miss Inuyasha," Kagome stated, "… and the others as well."
"One last question Kagome," Jakotsu asked, "Do you still love Inuyasha? I'm only asking because your pregnant with my big brothers child and if you still love Inuyasha how can you love my brother?"
She looked shocked at Jakotsu's question. Who was he to ask? Yet he was her husband's brother. She looked him in the eyes before she could answer.
"If I didn't love Bankotsu I wouldn't have married him and I for sure wouldn't have his child. I do love Inuyasha but not the same love that I have for Bankotsu. I love Inuyasha like I love you and your other brothers."
"Good answer, Kagome." Jakotsu smiled. "Brother loves you to."
(Somewhere in the middle of the woods near a hot spring)
Jakotsu tends to the sleeping Bankotsu's wounds from the battle with Idris. Kagome gets a few things from her backpack. Suikotsu watches her carefully.
"Where are you going?" Suikotsu asked her.
"Oh well there's a hot spring near and I wanted to go take a bath."
"I'll go with you." Suikotsu states
"Ah… um… no its um… " her words get out of her mouth.
"To protect you in case something happens to you." he reassured her.
"Oh ok… I guess that's all right." she smiles.
Bankotsu wakes up a little after Suikotsu and Kagome had left. He attempts to get up to go find his so called brother and his wife. He finally gets up and leans against a tree. He leaves to find them and then noticing Suikotsu near a tree fiddling with the leaves. Suikotsu notices his brother and points behind him.
"That's where Kagome is." he continues to fiddle with the dirt and stick, "I came with her just in case she was ambushed."
"What?!"
Suikotsu sighs at his brother's temper. Kagome over hears their little argument.
"Bankotsu, calm down…" He started but was cut off.
"ME CALM DOWN, YOU'RE THE ONE WITH MY WIFE!" he began yelling
"Bankotsu if you keep yelling she will hear you." Suikotsu sighed once more, " besides you were not fit to protect her anyways, and I was the only available one to take such a job up."
"Jakotsu could of protected her easily."
"He was tending your wounds."
"Last time I checked you were the doctor."
A pause between the brothers took place. All Kagome could do was shake her head and sink into the water. Bankotsu and Suikotsu look each other in the eyes as if they were rivals ready to take to a battle.
"Leave." Bankotsu stated
"Brother I cannot do such an order." Suikotsu defied him.
"I said leave Suikotsu."
The doctor got up, looked his brother in the eyes and left. Bankotsu went around to check up on his well-rounded wife.
"Um… how are you doing, Kagome." he asked.
"Hmm… I'm fine."
"How's the…"
"Fine"
"Oh"
She got up out of the water and dress herself. Kagome looked at her husband and than away.
"You didn't have to be so rude." and she walked off back to the camp.
"Rude? What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
He looked up at the stars and closed his eyes. He imaged a happy family with Kagome and his brothers and there unborn child.
"I wish this shit would just blow over." he got up and began to walk to the camp.
As he was walking he noticed a young woman leaning against a tree. He squinted his eyes, thinking that he knew her from some where but couldn't pin point it. Bankotsu shrugged his shoulders and continued walking on his way.
"Bankotsu, Leader of the Shichin'nintai," the woman spoke.
When she had spoke it dawned on him. That's the woman from the day before.
"Looks like you are persistent after all." he stopped in his tracks.
"Accept my fathers request."
"Hmm… What's this request?"
"My father is gather the priestesses into hiding. They are being attacked one by one. Kagome was attacked earlier today, wasn't she?" Bankotsu just looked Yoko. "She's the strongest, we are being told. We must protect her and the others as well."
"From what?"
"From a demon witch. Ani is her name. Her plans are yet unknown to my father and I but I reassure you she is after your dearest Kagome."
"Well, isn't this just great." Bankotsu looks towards the camp. "She's already been attacked by the stupid puppets or whatever that half-breed really was."
"So you'll accept on this request."
"If its to protect Kagome, then yeah."
"The Northern Region is where my father lies, he shall tell you more about this demon witch and her plots." she than jumps into the trees. "Till we meet again."
"Yeah, Yeah… Whatever… Their goes 'happy family'…" he sighs.
(Back at Main Camp)
He comes back to the main camp and notices everybody was quiet and doing their own things. Bankotsu than walks past Suikotsu with out a word said. He notices Kagome and walks to her.
"Hey Kagome."
"What?"
"I spoke to that girl from the other day, she popped back up." he stated. "That request thing, its to take down that Ani character so I accept it."
"That's good." she said never looking at him.
"Hmm…" he just looked at his fuming wife. "Kagome."
"What was that all about?"
"What was what." he became puzzled.
"Don't play around with me Bankotsu. Why did you yell at Suikotsu like that for?" she snapped at him.
"Ah… he.. didn't have to be with you."
"Its not like I was going to cheat on you."
"Well, how was I supposed to know that!" he hollered at her without thinking of what he had said.
Kagome just glared at him. Tears began to build in her brown eyes. Trickled down her smooth now red cheeks. She then turned around and looked at him with sorrow and pain in her eyes. He just looked at her knowing he did something wrong.
She finally spoke out as she walked away, "I'm not Sakura."
"Sakura didn't cheat on me."
