The sun slowly begins to set as the band enters a small clearing near a river. "This is the place," came their leader's voice. She fallowed Jakotsu to the place he found suitable before setting their belongings down.

"Rest, I will raise our tent," spoke Jakotsu, who immediately set off to work. She nodded moving to the stream kneeling down cupping her hands to get a sip. As Jakotsu worked, he tried to keep an eye on Kagome. After her small drink she placed her warned down feet in the water. Setting camp went quickly, all the tents being erected just as the sun began to fade from the sky, leaving just enough time to build a fire. She stood quickly smiling as she walked to Jakotsu. Glancing over at her, he nodded his head towards the tent. "Take the bedding inside, I must help brother gather wood." She nodded lightly as she moved back to where she had set their belongings gathering them heading into their tent. Quietly, Jakotsu left, moving to join his brother. She rolled the beddings out giving space between them giving Jakotsu more room.

After a few moments, Jakotsu returns to the tent. "Good, now you should rest while dinner is cooking."

"...Jakotsu-kun... Thank you so much for letting this child live..."

"I did it for my darling Inu," he said quietly, reaching for the large bag of heavier objects.

"Do you think you could handle the child after you kill me Jakotsu-kun?" She looked up to him slowly from her bedding.

"I have no intention of killing you, the child needs its mother."

"...Jakotsu-kun your brother wants me dead... if you don't the child will die..."

"I said I wouldn't do it..." Jakotsu says, standing and exiting the tent in a frustrated way. Looks down sadly to her hands before lying down on her mat. Jakotsu, hearing Bankotsu call out to him goes deeper into camp, beginning to prepare dinner. She covered her body up to her shoulders resting peacefully holding her stomach protectively. The flap of the tent quietly opens, a figure unlike Jakotsu's stepping in.

"...Jakotsu-kun I don't want to argue with you right now..." She spoke barely above a whisper.

"So you are the reason Jakotsu looks frustrated... What did you do to him, wench?" The voice was that of Bankotsu, standing inside the tent. Stays silent pulling the covers closer to her chin.

"I asked you a question..." came the impatient, annoyed tone of the man's voice.

"...I am Jakotsu-kun's wench I have no reason to talk to any other man."

"I am the leader of this band, all that travel with it answer to me!" Moving over towards her, he reaches down and yanks the cover off of her. She stayed silent moving her knees pulled in her arms still on her stomach.

"If you want to live, you'll do what I say, when I say it!"

"...I am living for Jakotsu-kun's child."

"You don't seem to understand me..." His voice was edgy.

"I will not answer to the likes of you..."

"Then you will die... Unless of course you can give me a good reason to let you live..."

"...Jakotsu-kun wants the child."

"I don't care what Jakotsu wants. You don't seem to understand that I an the leader here.."

"And maybe you do not understand...I am not part of your band."

"Then go! Leave here and die alone in the woods! You travel with us, you are part of the band."

"only for a year after the child is born." She sat up weakly. "What use am I to you, the only reason I live is for this child and in the end I won't see him or her grow..."

"You won't live to see the child born he you do not do as I say!"

"And what is it you want of me then!"

"For starters, when I ask you a question, answer me. Also, if you value your life, give me a good reason to let you live."

"I live for this child... what more is there for me to live for..."

"That doesn't give me a good reason to let you live... It might be good enough for Jakotsu, but not me."

"Then what do you wish of me...?"

A slight smirk slid over the lips of the man, "What would you give me to spare your life?"

"...To spare the child's life anything you desire... as long as Jakotsu-Kun has his child..." The man's smirk only grew at her words. He knew what it was he wanted from her, and he would have it.

((ok A lot of you have reviewed asking if this is a kag/jak fanfic in a sense yes only in a sense that Jakotsu only wants the child to raise and I hope the last sentence clears it up for all of you.))
