looks away shakeing her head
He giggles, and he hears the rest of the band near the entrance to the cave. "oops.."
"its up to you i don't care anymore... i just wish you wouldn't kill..."
"i wont. but, as for the others, if they found out that, i wont kill you or another person, then, they will kill me. so, i really have no choice.."
She noded sadly "...i told you i'm not afraid to die..."
The remaining members of the seven walk to the entrince of the cave
Bankotsu calls out lookin for jakotsu. "jakotsu, i know your in here becuase i can smell you. and i smell that girl that accompanied inuyasha in here as well..." Jakotsu gets up and runs to the leader of the seven "i'm here."
"didnt i tell you to kill that kagome girl! who do i smell her in here...and i smell her all over you..." bankotsu spoke coldly stareing down to him.
Jakotsu looks away for a sec to think of a excuse. "i, already killed her.." he pulls out a peice of kimono that has her blood in it. "see, right here, thats her blood.."
she remind silent her eyes closed struggleing not to breath hard trying to keep from shakeing tears rolling down her face sadly her face towards the back of the cave
bankotsu stared at the cloth. "well, i suposed. that is her blood on that peice of cloth you have in your hands.." jakotsu nods a little releived that it worked.
"very well then, lets get going, i have a thirst for more blood.." bankotsu laughs evily and goes to head out the cave. Jakotsu gasped and looks back at kagome...then looked forward. 'i dont know what to do...'thought jakotsu..
she opened her eyes looking toward the back of the cave she knew she would last a few days at the most
"damn it!" Jakotsu looked to the back of the cave
bankotsu looked back at jakotsu "what the hell is wrong with you?"
Jakotsu gets a sweatdrop "nuthin bankotsu..." thought jakotsu..' i dont wanna kill that bad, and yet, renkotsu and bankotsu expect me to...i dont know what to do. kagome won't let me kill them...so, im stumped.'
she felt pain run through her body she couldn't hold back her cries no longer her body flinching from the pain
jakotsu sneaks his way back to kagome "kagome, you ok back here?"
she felt like she had let him down now she knew the others heard her cries "...i'm sorry..."
"dont be. and..kagome...i, might have to, kill you after all..." he looks down sadly as she nods lightly closeing her eyes. "i tryed to avoid it but, if im gonna live, i have to do this.." he pulls out his 'snake' sword..
"...i love you..." She spoke struggleing to say the words.
He blinks "you, love me..? I thought you loved InuYasha.."
"...i do..., but you seemed like you wanted someone to tell you that..."
"it sounded nice comein from a female. and, the fact that she knew inuyasha, is a honor as well." he raises his sword with both hands
tears rolled down her face as he closes his eyes...and waits a second. "i dont want this..., but, to keep my brothers at bay, i must."
"...did you tell them about how i sense shards..."
"no. i dont want you to be used by nuraku."
She noded sadly. "well kagome, this is it. nice knwing you, while you was alive.." he grips the sword with both hands
"...i'm sorry you didn't get inuyasha..."
Jakotsu chuckles "he was quiet the man." She nods opening her eyes looking up to him. he looks down at her and closes his eyes. "say hey to inuyasha for me." he brings the sword on back, and drives it through her. he opens his eyes. and sees that he drive the sword right though her stomach. he pulls oit the sword, backs up, and runs out and back to his brothers. Her eyes slowly closed as she began to cough up a dark crimson like liquid from her mouth placeing her hand on her stomache where the child would be. After jakotsu thinks he killed kagome, he runs back with the seven, but, he has a uneasy feeling. like, the feeling that he didntso sumthin right. so, he starts to walk slowly untill he stops. he lets the rest of the band go on, and he turns around and walks back...but, after a lil bit, renkotsu notices that jakotsu aint behind them any more. so he tells bankotsu that he will be right back. and he turns and fallows jakotsu...meanwhile...jakotsu enters the cave. amd looks for kagome... "Oh my God..! your..Alive!" She looked to him sadly "...i'm sorry... I can't die the jewel shards... their in my arm ...from when Inuyasha was attacked by banktosu..." Tears roll down. "...i'm sorry..."
"NO, THIS IS GOOD. this aint bad that your alive..."
Renkotsu watches from behind a rock and sees jakotsu talkin to the bloody, and beat up girl... "well well...look what we have..."
She looked towards the new shadowy figure then to jakotsu sadly "...i ruined everything now..."
"i dunno how...kagome. your good with me."
"...he knows you'll be dead..."
"who knows? no one knows about this but me.."
She shakes her head sadly. "...i sense more then one tainted jewel fragment in this cave..." He gasps and looks around, and spots a shadow in the front of the cave. he draws his sword and aims it straight "OK! who ever you, show your self. Now!"
Renkotsu walks out and glares at his brother "you turned on is just as that damn doctor did. you will pay with you life!" he drinks the stuff that allows him to shoot flames and he..we...shoots flames at jakotsu... Jakotsu dodges and shakes his head. "no one will know, if your dead.." He grins and runs over, and pushes him to the wall, and slits his throat. he then lets the body fall, and jakotsu takes out the jewel shards in his throat. "ha! i have another shard!" She looked at him in horror and disbelief at what he had done to his own comrade the one he once called brother. She struggled to push away as far as she could against the wall of the rocky cave. Tears streaming down her face. "kagome, relax. i had no choice. if he told bankotsu, he both would come after us, and both of us would die. besides...this shard is yours." He walks over to her and drops the shard in her lap. She looks at him sadly slowly looking to the shard that she leaned down picking the shard the awful arua disipearing a new pink like color returning. he nods and sits down and waits on banktsu to come... "wonder what bankotsu will do to me...
"I told you I could hunt the shards I will Jakotsu--kun..." She used -kun to show that she had great respect for him espically saveing her life a few times already "...I can say that I killed him..."
"i know you can hunt them. but, if you slip up, and bankotsu knows...your dead... and if he thinkd you killed him, he will kill you." She looked to him sadly soon struggleing to stand. "i wish you would heal up already...good greaf.." he walks over to her and helps her up.
Stands leaned against him. "...sorry i'm human carrying a child..."
"so i can see...and with the baby inside of you, your heavy..."
stops leaning against him feeling bad she leaned against him "sorry that I got heavy..."
"it ain't nuttin i can deal with kagome. your wounded anyway.."
"you are to."
"eh, these cuts and wounds aint nuttin. great, now i sound like InuYasha..."
She giggles lightly as he cracks a small smile. "lets get you to a hut.. that way you can lay down.."
"...and get your your brothers blood cleaned from your sword before we return to bankotsu..."
"ill do that after i get you situated. Do you by any chance...know a women named...kaede?"
"...you shouldn't go there the know what you look like..."
"oh damn. then i cant take you there. but, i passed by one day...and...i herd inuyasha say that he was gonna pass his sword onto you if he ever died. and come to think about it, when they buried him, the sword wasnt with him.."
"...I figured one of your men would have taken the sword to be distroyed..."
"no, they didnt. Well, i would go and get ir for you, but they will atack me becuase of my reputation."
shakes her head slowly. "...no its fine..."
bassistinu: "but, your gonna have his child. dont you want your daughter/son to his their fathers sword, or for you to keep it?"
"...the child will have a father remember... " she looked to him smileing weakly
"what?" he looks t her confused... 'your not sayin...that...i, will be its...step father, are you!"
She looks away sadly. "...sorry... I thought you would want the child as your own as well... I'm sorry..."
"kagome, you have to understand. i used to be a killer. i am a out law. if i "have" a son/daughter of my own...then...they will take the baby, and kill me on the spot. my reputaion is bad."
Nods sadly. "...i'm sorry I even said that Jakotsu-kun..."
bassistinu: "its perfectly fine kagome-Kun. but, i wouldnt mind have a child of mu own...HOWERVER..my past comes into play on that."
"...what when the child knows your the one who actually killed her or his father?"
He nods. "i am sure that he/she will find out eventually that the man thats careing for him/her is the one who killed the childs father.after that...its most likely hell."
"...maybe all miss carry then I can give you your own child would that make you happy...?"
He gasp "Kagome, your scareing me." He backs up. Stumbles back against the cave wall slideing down. "but, to answer your question, no. that wouldnt make me happy. i dont want to be tied down with a baby. what i want. is freedom to do what the hell i want."
nods a bit looking down. "...I'm sorry..."
"your sorry to much. good greaf. since you lost dog boy, your all out of wack." He blinks.
"...yeah I guess your right ..." Rubs the scare the was healing across her stomache "...I just want the child to be happy..."
Nods "you were way differnet when inuyasha was alive. i still think you should accept his sword. after all, he left it to you. he wanted you to have it.."
"...no I won't..."
"BUT WHY! i myself wouldnt mind havein a sword like his..."
"...it won't work..."
"the sword wont transform...but you will have it. you should honor his wishes kagome."
"...i'm the one who killed him..."
"what!" Jumps up and almost hit the roof of the cave.
"...I got in his way when he told me to stay back...
"that was chance. he told you to stay back, so you woundt die."
"...but in return he did..."
"yeah. he dies to save you. that real love kagome. when some one is willing to get there selves killed over you, thats dedication kagome. he died knowing that your alive, so in that case..hes resting in peace."
nods lightly "...but me willing to die doesn't show you that I care about your safty...?" Looks to him sadly.
"er...not really... because, i dont love you, so, that dont matter.."
looks down noding sadly.
Sighs. "this is geting old kagome. let get you some where else and get you down to rest." stands walking out of the cave limping.He fallows her makein sure she dont fuck up. She stays silent as he fallows.
"...why did you kill?"
"nuraku's orders. if i defyed him, i die automaticly...and i know im gonna do soon, becuase that when im doin now."
"...no I ment why you wanted to kill when you first started out."
"oh, well, when i was alive, thats what i was taught to do by my brothers, so, when i was brang back...i still had that instinct." She nods lightly to his answer. "i know that you like me kagome, but it pains me to know that when your carrying another mans child...i would say more, but then you youself might kill me.." she shook her head sadly. "kagome, your mood is startin to piss me off, you know that! ever since me and you met, you only laughed once. THATS IT. you have lost your brain since he died.."
"...how would you like to know everything you had is gone... I have no family and no friends... you are the only one I really have..."
"heh. im a killer, not a life saver. the only reason why im helpin you is becuase your the only one left that knew inuyasha personally.."
Nods lightly "...just leave me at the village entrance so you can survive."
"will do..." They arrives at the village keeping her head down. he looks around and pulls his kimono over his face a lil hopeing he wouldnt be reckonized. She leans up kissing his cheek softly. "...thank you for saveing a girl you barly new..."
He nods. "sure. and dont tell anyway that you know me, or im dead...and so are you." he looks around.
Nods sadly. "...I'm sorry."
He smiles a lil bit and turns to walk off.. "later kagome." he turns the rest of the way around, and walks off. She walks into the village limping still soon a woman takes her end to help her. Jakotsu eventually finds Bankotsu, and goes back to travel with him. She leaves a few days after in the night when no one noticed her. Jakotsu is neat the village and he knows it, but bankotsu dont.
bankotsu turns around and notices a figure among the tree. he taps jakotsu on the shoulder and points to the semi tall figure "who is that jakotsu?"
she steped lightly heading toward a stream she could here not far off. jakotsu turned around and looks at the figure that was moveing among the vegitation. "oh no...its that girl...kagome."
Bankotsu looks at the girl and his eyes get wide. "ain't that the girl that traveled with InuYasha?"
Jakotsu nods "yep. thats her."
Bankotsu Smirks. "im gonna kill her off..ill be right back." he runs off befor jakotsu could stop him. She knelt down beside the stream useing her hands as a cup to drink from the stream humming lightly. Bankotsu comes up behind her and takes out one of his thin, metal strands and slowly wraps it around kagome's neck. He tightens it lightly... "HELLO kagome.." She looked down she didn't say a word she wasn't even scared of him thin even as she looked up into his eyes. He pulls on the strand a lil more as it started to draw a tiny bit of blood from her neck.
"you will be betrayed by the man who gave you your life back."
"you mean Nuraku, dont you?"
Nods lightly as she noded more blood rolled down
"his orders are to kill every one that knows InuYasha. and your supposed to be his girl. so, i must kill you."
"you kill me and you will perish as well doesn't it seem odd that Nuraku took back the shards he had placed in your falling commarades?"
bankotsu's grip starts to losein on the metal thread "you, have a point."
"...what will you do now...?"
"well, as much as i hate to say, you have a point.." He growls in frustaion and lowers and takes back the thread
She uses her hands again as a cup to finish her drink before standing once again. bankotsu sighs and looks down at kagome "what now?" she spoke with no fear she wasn't even shakeing
"i dont know. your alone...your freinds are dead becuase of me and the rest of the seven...i am, startin to feel...er..bad."
"why its only your nature."
"but, they was your freinds..."
"...it doesn't matter anymore."
"i dont jknow how you can say that. sounds like you have a colder hard then i."
"...when you have nothing to lose you never really want to gain anything again."
"so, your sayin, you dont want any one, at all with you?"
"who else is there?"
"no one really. i was just sayin. if some one was wantin you to travel with them or to travel with you, would you say no, i rather be on my own."
"in a way I am not alone..."
He blinks and neals down beside her and looks at her "how are you not alone? i dont see any one else with you. jakotsu aint traveling with you, and i aint..."
"i am with child." he looks at her funny "a child?" She nods lightly
"are you tryin to say, your carrying a baby, as in your pregnant!"
"I am not carrying a child in my arms so yeah I'm pregnet."
he blinks and looks away. "and, your still young... wow.."
"...yeah."
"well...im stumped now. i dont know what to so. i guess ill just return to nuraku and say that i failed him, as well as jakotsu."
"you'll be killed he most likely can see all of this in kana's mirror."
"oh yes. that creepy girl with the mirror that can take souls..." nods lightly
"well, if i die, i die. simple as that.."
"Just like when you killed my friends."
"yes. just like when i killed your freinds."
"so now that you know about Nuraku will you slay me?"
"i have no use to, since i know im gonna die anyway."
She nods lightly. just then, Bankotsu takes a gasp for air and he falls forward, and dont move. the shard pops out his back and the body turns to bone. jakotsu runs over to see what happened. "i see...i guess Nuraku has desideds that our time is up.." she looked up to Jakotsu running to him quickly wraping her arms around his neck. he blinks"ok...then..." hugs her back.
"...please don't go."
"its not my desision. nuraku has chosein to do away with us. i will leave, any minute now, the exact same way as renkotsu did. but i will say hey to InuYasha for you."
shakes her head "...no please don't..."
"dont say hey to inu?"
"...no I don't want you to go please..."
"tell nuraku that. but like the bitch would listen anyway.." hugs him tightly blocking the shard in his neck with her left arm.
"there aint no use in trying to save me. i want to die kagome."
"...I don't want you to..."
"i want to, so i can leave this world. i deserve to die and burn in hell for what i did to your freinds."
"...if you die I will have no one..."
"you never had any one kagome-Kun."
"...I have you..."
shakes his head "nope. i am a spector. a ghost. a shell of the real me. i am not the REAL me. im more of a zombie."
"I don't care."
"eh, you probably would later on." tears roll down her face. he starts to feel himself grow weaker and weaker by the minute "my time draws near. nuraku is about to make his move kagome. its been nice knowing you. and, you not only have the power to purify a jewel shard that has been tanted, you have the power to purify one's tanted soul, judt as you did to mine kagome."
"...please don't..." tears rolled down her face as she held tighter to him
