Chapter Eleven: The Fight and Kagome's Death
Bankotsu looked at him with narrowed eyes. "You drunk idiot…trying to rape my girlfriend?!" he yelled, charging at the half-conscious Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru's mind was spinning. It pounded with a terrible headache, and he felt sick to his stomach. What was in that stuff? He wondered, thinking of his dinner.
"I aaaate somethiiiiiiiing dat 'ade meh drunk," Sesshomaru slurred. His words were hardly understandable.
Kagome looked away. "Taisho, I can't believe how low you are," she whispered. "Even Inuyasha doesn't go as far as to barge into someone's room to rape a girl."
That was indeed quite true. Inuyasha never raped a girl. Now Sesshomaru…had made himself look bad. Would his actions ruin his father's company? After all that hard work? After owning thousands of money, then getting it taken away to use for something else?
"You're still a drunkard, bastard!" Bankotsu shouted, rage clashing with rage in his stormy blue eyes.
He punched Sesshomaru right in the face, leaving one black eye and a bleeding nose. He kicked him in the stomach. Sesshomaru couldn't be as graceful as he normally was. The stuff that made him drunk was slowing his body down.
He couldn't hold on any more after Bankotsu threw him against the wall one last time. He fainted, slumping down the wall and falling over. Kagome carefully came near to him, nervous that despite his unconscious appearance, he would suddenly shoot up and try to take advantage of her again.
She had lost her cool as she had as a gang leader when Sesshomaru had tried to rape her. Not even Koga had been that bad!
Bankotsu noticed the dry tears on his girlfriend's face. Ha quickly went to her, enveloping her with his warmth. Kagome started to cry again, as she broke down…Bankotsu hushed her sobs as they sat together on the floor.
After Kagome could cry no more, they dragged Sesshomaru's body from the room and dumped him outside his room. Kagome locked the door and put on the chain. She even locked the window, lest another guy came in that way and tried to rape her again.
Sesshomaru woke up, his head spinning and pounding. He ached badly in the sections of his back, stomach, and face. What in the world…happened to me? He wondered weakly.
"Yo, Sesshomaru. You back in the world of the living?" Inuyasha's voice said flatly.
"What happened?" he asked his younger brother, blinking rapidly to clear his vision.
"I just found you in a jumbled heap at the door. What happened to you? You've never gotten this hurt before, have you?" Inuyasha answered.
Sesshomaru rushed to the bathroom to check the mirror. Gosh, his brother was right! He had a swollen black eye, and there was dried blood near his nose. His back and stomach ached quite badly. "That Higurashi…what was I doing to her?" he wondered aloud.
"You what?!" Inuyasha yelled, hearing the words that left his brother's mouth. "What were you doing over at that bitch's place?!"
"Shut up, Inuyasha," Sesshomaru snapped tiredly. "I can't think straight."
"What, do you have a hangover or somethin'?" he questioned, a quizzical look on his face.
"Yes, I do," was the answer back.
"You were drunk and you went to Kagome's?! What were you doing?" Inuyasha was curious.
"I don't remember…" Sesshomaru searched his mind for the answer. When he found the memory, he was downright horrified. "I almost raped her!!!!!"

There was a knock on the door. Kagome, frightened that Sesshomaru had come back pretending to be a gentleman but really wanted to finish what he started, hid under the covers. Last night's event had shaken her badly.
Bankotsu eyed the door warily before opening it and facing Anna. "Hello, sir, would you like something to eat this morning?"
Bankotsu glanced at Kagome. "Kagome, do you want to eat something?" She had relaxed, and nodded her head.
"We'll have a "Strawberry French Waffle" please," he said, looking through the American menu. Anna bowed before scurrying off.
Kagome said, "If that had been Taisho, I would've jumped out the window."
"Suicide is not the answer. Please don't kill yourself, Kagome," Bankotsu pleaded. "I'll make sure he never does it again."
Kagome gave in to her boyfriend's pleas. "I won't jump out the window," she said, giving him a half-hearted smile. "I'll just hide somewhere."
"Kagome, be strong! You have to fight back!" Bankotsu said, going to her side, but leaving the door open. Bad mistake.
Kagome said, "I don't think I can. My mind's in a jumbled mess, and I can't even control myself to the point where I was as the leader of Mikorai."
"Kagome, don't give up! You have to recover from him or you'll drown in misery! You have to fight back! That stupid mongrel will go home with his tail between his legs!" Bankotsu said.
"I will not go home with as a coward. I will defeat Higurashi once and for all," a cold voice said behind them. "Of course, it's a problem that I found out I nearly had sex with her, forcibly, but no matter."
Kagome's eyes widened. She stared, terrified, at the figure of Sesshomaru standing at their doorway. "N…no…" she whispered. "Please…go away!" she chucked a pillow at him. He caught it easily.
"Get up, Higurashi!" he thundered. "I won't let you escape!"
She'd never seen this side to Sesshomaru before. It was a terrifying experience. Kagome stumbled off the bed, landing on her feet. Sesshomaru attacked. Bankotsu blocked him from getting to her. "Run, Kagome!"
Kagome hurried out of the room, only to be grabbed by Inuyasha. "Hi to you too, wench," he snarled, gripping her throat. "What the fuck did you think you were doing…trying to get my brother to rape you!!"
Kagome flailed at him with her feet, successfully kicking him right there. In the balls.
Inuyasha howled as he dropped Kagome and clutched at his private section. "You bitch!" he shouted angrily.
Kagome was now really terrified of the two Taisho brothers. She darted nimbly down the hallway, into an elevator and shutting the doors before Inuyasha came in. She went to the lobby floor, and ran to the secretary's desk. "Please, help me!" she begged. "Hide me under this desk!"
Anna, alarmed, quickly hid her in the darkness under her desk before returning to her work. Inuyasha charged out of an elevator and stopped by her. "Where did that wench go?!?" he demanded.
Anna pointed to the door. "She went outside. I think she went west," she said. Inuyasha snarled, running to the door and crashing through it. He got up quickly and ran off, disappearing around the bend.
Kagome crawled out from under the desk. "It's safe, isn't it?" she asked.
Just then the last elevator burst open and Bankotsu and Sesshomaru leaped out, fighting with flying fists. "Bankotsu!" Kagome screamed, running towards the two.
"Kagome! Stay away!" he yelled, punching Sesshomaru in the cheek.
He stumbled back, growling. Sesshomaru dashed to the elevator and went up. When he came down, he had a gun and a dagger! "You won't escape from me!" he snarled.
Sesshomaru aimed for Bankotsu. He through the dagger and it missed, but fired the bullets at him. Bankotsu was unable to dodge the bullets. "NO!" came a scream.
Ka-pow! Bankotsu thought he was going to die, and closed his eyes, but instead…
Something warm and sticky splattered his face and clothing. Bankotsu opened his eyes and was horrified to find that what had splattered him was his girlfriend's blood. Kagome stood protectively in front of him, solemn eyes gazing at Sesshomaru.
"Ban…please…take care of my body…move…on…and know that I…" she collapsed, her head falling in Bankotsu's lap. "Know that I love you…please, take this…" she held up necklace made of pearls. It had been hidden in her clothing. "Take this to remember me by…Ban…kotsu…"
Her eyes closed as she smiled one last time, her hand falling limply to the floor. Bankotsu stared. "Wake up…Kagome, wake up. Don't leave me," Bankotsu whispered. When she didn't respond, Bankotsu was hit with the terrifying truth. Kagome was dead.
Reality came crashing down around him. "KAGOME!!!!!!!!!!!" The anguished cry burst from him. He cradled her body close, tears forming in his eyes.
Her blood had stopped leaking from her wound. Inuyasha came in, beginning to say, "She's not there, you–" he halted when he saw his brother holding a gun, a look of shock on his face.
His eyes trailed to the pool of blood, a shaking Bankotsu and Kagome…no, that wasn't Kagome. It was just her body. "Sesshomaru," Inuyasha said incredulously. "You killed Kagome?"
His brother slid to the floor, apparently still in shock. He hadn't meant to kill her! He only wanted to defeat her, but she'd gotten in the path of the bullets to protect her boyfriend.
Bankotsu raised his head. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru shivered. The look of unimaginable hate and anger dwelled within Bankotsu's eyes. He set down her body, glaring at them both with an icy look that was even colder than Sesshomaru's.
"You fucking bastard…" he seethed. "You killed my girlfriend, the only one I ever had and truly wanted to protect…do you think it's funny?"
Sesshomaru dropped the gun. It slid across the floor, stopping at Bankotsu's feet. He picked it up and advanced. "You will pay…"
Bankotsu aimed right at Sesshomaru's heart. "You're heartless asshole who just loves to play with a girl's heart and toy with others' emotions." Sesshomaru, for the first time in years, felt fear coursing through him, paralyzing him.
"You're a bastard who couldn't beat a girl." His heart was pounding badly. Death was an option. It hadn't been for Kagome.
"You're just an idiot who claims to be the son of the great Inutaisho, but you are fake."
Bankotsu's words rang in his head. "Now, you will die, so suffer the fate you dealt my girlfriend!"
Sesshomaru's eyes widened as Bankotsu fired the gun.
Ka-pow!

Hahaha! You'll only going to be left wondering what will happen to Sesshomaru! I'm sorry for killing Kagome, Kagome fans, but don't worry, I'll bring her back to life. That's all for now, so please wait for the next chapter!
