Chapter 9.

It had been over a week since Kagome had walked down the stairs with Jakotsu to sit with the other members of the Band and Seven and they had all been surprised that Jakotsu had been able to convince her to come down with him but they had made sure to give her space and not to walk towards her and it had now been six days since she started her training with Bankotsu and Jakotsu as her trainers. Kagome trained different types of attacks on the dummies that Renkotsu had made for her and she was slowly improving. Both Bankotsu and Jakotsu made sure not to stand to close to her or touch her unless they told her they would beforehand. Mostly they just showed her different moves she was gonna work on perfecting while training on the dummies but sometimes they would help her with her fighting stands. Bankotsu however tried not to do that too often and he was thankful that Kagome was a fast learner. It only went slowly because she only worked on the dummies. He hoped that she would soon have the courage to at least try to have a sparring match with Jakotsu. It would make it easier to estimate how far along in her training she actually was and as soon as she had her hand to hand combat done to a level where she would be able to fight strong against opponent they would have to find what kind of weapon that would suit her the best so she could train in combat with a weapon aswell.

Both Bankotsu and Jakotsu watch as Kagome made a powerful round house kick on the dummie she was training on and both nodded slowly.

"Okay, Kags! Very good." Jakotsu said as he made his way towards the girl and Kagome looked at him. They had been training her for five hours now and she smiled slightly towards Jakotsu as she panted and wiped away some sweat from her brows.

"Y-you think so?" She asked and both Jakotsu and Bankotsu smirked amused.

"Yes, Kagome. You have improved greatly. That is why I want to ask if you would consider to have a small sparring match against Jakotsu, just so we both can see how far along you really are. It is hard to see that just from you training on the dummies…" Bankotsu said as he looked at Kagome and Jakotsu but didn't walk closer to them. He noticed that Jakotsu was watching Kagome with slightly worried eyes and he saw how Kagome listened to what he said and was quiet for a while. Kagome looked at Bankotsu and then looked down sligtly to the floor and thought about what he had said and asked her to and she then looked back up to meet Jakotsu's grey gentle eyes before she looked into Bankotsu's cerulean blue eyes.

"Will… will we stop if I say so…?" Kagome said and let her arms wrap around herself while she bit her lower lip a little. Jakotsu and Bankotsu both looked at her and nodded with confident.

"Of course we will stop if you want to. We will do the sparring match tomorrow, that way you can take a bath and relax for the rest of the day and just relax. Come on Kags, I'll walk you to the bath room and wait outside while you clean yourself up. Suikotsu and Renkotsu already made sure the tub is filled with fresh hot water." Jakotsu said as he beamed her a happy smile and Kagome smiled a little and nodded and they both walked to a door near the stairs and Kagome disappeared inside it and closed the door and locked it. Renkotsu had made her a bath room with a large wooden tub which they would fill up every day with hot water for her to wash herself in after she would be done with her training for the day and she undressed slowly and walked to the tub and slowly slided in it and sighed quietly when the warm water worked on her muscles and she looked up to the ceiling and thought about her friends, she missed them so much and according to what Jakotsu had told her they was still in the area, not as close anymore since Renkotsu and Suikotsu had been able to fool them to go after a fake trail. She wanted to see them but as soon as she started to think of how they would react when they saw her again and when they found out what had happen she became scared and ashamed. She just didn't have the courage to meet them right now. She closed her eyes for a few minutes before she took her bottle of body wash and started to scrub herself clean from all the sweat from her training and as soon as she washed her body clean she started on her hair.

Bankotsu walked to Jakotsu who was sitting outside the bath room door and sat down on the floor beside him.

"What do you think Jakotsu? Do you think she is gonna be as improved as we think?" Bankotsu asked as he looked at his best friend. Jakotsu looked at Bankotsu for a few minutes hand tilted his head to think about what to answer and then he smiled.

"I think she will do great, Bankotsu. She is still not comfortable around us she accepts me but that's because I have no interest in women but she still is scared of me since no matter what I am a man. Don't worry, we have showed her that none of us will come near her unless she gives us her permission to do so." Jakotsu said and Bankotsu nodded silently.

"Yeah I just hope that her fear of men will get better soon, it will be very difficult for her to face Naraku otherwise." Bankotsu said before he walked to the doorway that lead out of the training room and up to the first floor. Jakotsu watch is friend and leader walk upstairs and slowly leaned his head beck against the wall. 'I hope so too, Bankotsu.' He thought as he heard a loud squeak from the bathroom and he immedatly got up on his feet and banged on the door.

"Kagome?! Kagome are you okay?! Kags?!" Jakotsu almost yelled and thought that she might have slipped or something. After a few moment of hearing water splash and hear her footsteps he heard the door opening slowly and he saw Kagome peeking out from the door at him with a little blush on her cheeks.

"A-are you alone…? Has Bankotsu left?" Kagome asked as she looked at him with nervous eyes. Jakotsu looked at her a little in shock and nodded.

"Yeah, he left… what the hell happened?" He asked her and her blush deepened.

"Um… Jakotsu, could you… could you go to my backpack and get the small pink and blue box and bring it to me? Please? I'm not hurt but I really need you to bring me that box." Kagome said as she held her big towel wrapped around her body. Jakotsu stared at the girl in front of him and sighed a little and nodded as he turned to walk to the door a few feet away and entered it, her new bed room so that she could have more privacy, she still came upstairs with Jakotsu but they all had agreed that she needed some space so Renkotsu built a bed room aswell. As soon as Jakotsu found the box Kagome had talked about he went back to Kagome who was waiting behind the slightly opened bath room door and he handed her the box.

Kagome smiled slightly embarrassed as she closed the door and took a deep breath.

"I will be out in a minute, Jakotsu. I… I will tell you what happened then." She said as she closed the door and walked to the pile of clean clothes she had brought in there before her training session started and she made sure to dry herself of and took the box and opened it and took out a tampon and quickly removed the plastic covering it and as she administered it into her she was so happy and relieved that her period had finally come.

Kagome took a deep breath as she looked at Jakotsu. She had been out of the bath room for almost twenty minutes and she fidgeted a little as she looked down at her hands and took a deep breath.

"While I was washing my hair, I noticed some red float in the water, it was blood… I am not hurt, Jakotsu so don't start screaming for Suikotsu." Kagome looked at Jakotsu as he had been about to yell for Suikotsu and Jakotsu immediately snapped his mouth shut and waited for Kagome to continue.

"I… I have been afraid for a while now about what Naraku did to me… I thought that… he might had made me pregnant. My period was very late and I didn't want to tell you until I was completely sure. My period just started, I became so relieved that I couldn't stop the sound from leaving me. I… I am not pregnant I don't have to being afraid of caring that monsters child." Kagome smiled at Jakotsu as tears of relief started to fall from her eyes and she then sniffled as she hugged Jakotsu hard. Jakotsu was shocked. Neither he nor his brothers had even thought about the possibility that Naraku could have gotten Kagome pregnant and he hugged her a little back.

"That is good Kags, I am happy for you. Now let's get upstairs and get some food." Jakotsu said and Kagome let go of him and nodded and she wiped her tears from her eyes. They both walked to the stairs and walked upstairs and they walked into the living room and they sat down at the couch where they usually sat and Jakotsu looked at his brother who all noticed that Kagome had some traces of her tears still in her eyes. Jakotsu looked at them all and stood up.

"I'm gonna go and get us some food Kags, do you want anything to drink?" He asked as he ignored his brothers questioning stares at his back.

"Some tea would be nice…" Kagome said as she blushed slightly and looked down to her hands in her lap, she noticed that the others was looking at her and then at Jakotsu. Jakotsu only nodded and left the room.

It was now late in the evening and Kagome had left to go downstairs to her room to sleep, Bankotsu looked at Jakotsu and waited for him to explain why Kagome had, had traces of tears in her eyes. Jakotsu noticed his brothers all staring at him and sighed.

"I didn't hurt her… she told me her period started…" Jakotsu said as he scrunched his nose a little. The others looked at him in slight shock before Suikotsu sighed.

"I didn't even think about the possibility that she could've gotten pregnant." He said and shook his head slightly.

"Of course you didn't, Suikotsu. We haven't had a female this long in our group. But at least she isn't pregnant… that's good." Bankotsu said calmly though he looked a little shocked himself. After a few minutes of silent the men started to talk about how they were going to do the next morning and they all agreed that they would ask Kagome about her training session against Jakotsu to see if she still was up for it. After that they all, except for Ginkotsu, went upstairs to sleep.

Bankotsu laid in his bed and stared up at the ceiling, his thoughts racing inside his head. 'I can't believe neither of us even thought about the risk of the girl being pregnant. Good thing she isn't. If she had been, Naraku would've definitely found out, he is a half demon after all. I think Renkotsu once mentioned that demons can sense, or smell if they have an offspring. It is probably the same for half demons…' Bankotsu thought as he closed his eyes and suddenly his mind gave him a vision with Kagome in his bed pregnant with his child and his eyes snapped opened as he lunged up in a sitting position, his eyes wide in shock and slight arousal. He looked down and saw his member semi stiff and groaned a little annoyed at himself. 'Damn it… I have always found that girl sexy and now I am thinking of having a child with her?! I haven't had a girl in my bed for quite some time… I am probably just frustrated…' Bankotsu thought trying to convince himself more than anything and he then laid down again and closed his eyes thinking of things to make his arousal go down. After a few hours he had succeeded and was in a deep sleep dreaming of a midnight black haired woman with warm chocolate eyes smiling at him as they closed in on each other in a loving but passionate kiss.

The next morning they all sat in the living room eating breakfast, Bankotsu had woken up with a startle and had not been able to forget about his dream, which made him a little on edge. His brothers noticed but did not say anything since they all knew that it was better to leave him alone for now. Jakotsu had just sat himself down when Kagome walked in and she immediately walked to Jakotsu, passing Bankotsu's chair and sat down beside Jakotsu and smiled a little. Jakotsu nodded and gave her some breakfast and they all ate slowly. Bankotsu tensed for a split second when Kagome had passed him but then relaxed as he ate his breakfast. Though he did sneak a few glances at her and sighed quietly. 'Just my luck that I want to fuck the girl who have been raped not long ago. Maybe I could start by just be her friend… but how the hell do I become friends with a girl? I will not talk with her about flowers and other girly things' Bankotsu thought as he ate the last of his breakfast.

"So, how do you feel, today Kagome? Will you have a hand to hand combat training with Jakotsu?" Renkotsu asked as he looked at the girl who jumped slightly when he talked to her and he saw that she slowly calmed herself before she answered.

"I… I want to try… as long as Jakotsu don't start yelling at me. His voice gets really high pitched." Kagome said as she looked at Jakotsu with a small smile and Jakotsu chuckled a little.

"No problem and remember. If you want to stop just say so." He answered her and Kagome gave him a beautiful smile in return and nodded her head in agreement. Bankotsu watched the interaction and drank some of the water he had in a cup.

"Well when do you want to start then? Right after we have eaten or do you want to wait a little?" Bankotsu asked as he looked at Kagome and tried not to think of the dangerously erotic dream he had, had during the night. Kagome looked at him and smiled at him.

"If it is okay I would like to try right away." She said and he nodded his acceptance in that.
