Chapter: 20 – Different Sides

"Ban…Bankotsu?!!" Kida repeated as tears began appearing.

'What is this? This feeling deep inside me. My head aches! I feel like something broke inside my mind! But. This feeling, it reminds me of…Bankotsu! I remember! I loved him! I had to kill him! And. Sesshomaru! My memories! Have they returned?! But Bankotsu! If he was dead, and there is no more jewel shards then…how could he still be alive? Unless!' Kida's long thought were interrupted when she spotted soul collectors about Prince Caspian's head. 'Souls,' she thought.

She suddenly saw Bankotsu's eyes open slightly. 'I don't care how; all I care about is that he's still alive!' Kida thought as tears began to flow down her cheek as Bankotsu's eyes set upon Kida's. Kida couldn't hold back, she lost control.

"BANKOTSU!!" She shouted as she jet forward, pushing Prince Caspian aside and grasping Bankotsu's body in a hug, crying into his shoulder. "I thought you were dead!" She cried "I thought I had killed you!"

For a long period of time, they had made an everlasting bond between them and Kida didn't want to let go. But eventually a giant roar and a yell of pain came into hearing of the group.

"What was that?" Kida said as everyone turned their attention to the door.

"Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha wiggled his ears to the echo of his name.

"Inuyasha!" He realized who it was that was calling him.

"Kagome!" He shouted as he ran into the halls. Kida and Bankotsu stood from the bed and followed him.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha said as he busted though the building door where Naraku was still in.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome said in relief.

"Oh great not the mutt!" Koga said in mid air.

"Koga look out!" Kagome called as she spotted Naraku's tentacles getting closer to Koga. I

nuyasha growled. He jumped into the air as he drew his sword. "Wimpy wolf!" He shouted as he cut the tentacles and landed next to Koga. Inuyasha then glanced over at Kagome. "Kagome!"

"What about Kagome?!" Koga said in alarm.

"Watch out!" Kagome shouted as more of Naraku's tentacles began coming towards the two.

Koga jumped in the air and side kicked Naraku's slimy body away.

Then suddenly, Kida and Bankotsu joined them. When Kagome set her eyes on Bankotsu she was astonished, and wondered how he could still possibly be alive.

Naraku suddenly stopped fighting, the whole building began shaking.

"Damn him!" Bankotsu yelled.

"What is it?" Kida asked.

"He plans to blow up this entire building!" Bankotsu said. Kida gasped. "The only safe place is the castle," Bankotsu said as he looked at Kida. Kida panicked.

"Everyone inside!" She shouted. She ran over to Kagome before large parts of the ceiling came crashing down while Inuyasha and Koga jumped around, trying to get to the door. Kida brought Kagome over, with Shipo still on her shoulder, and they all ran towards the front of the castle together. They slammed the door shut and held it shut with their bodies.

The large explosion was strong enough to bust through the door and sent them all flying very far forward. Smoke poured into the building, everyone began coughing loudly, they couldn't see a thing. But soon everyone clapped their hands over their ears. A large ROAR blasted from behind them and soon the smoke disappeared. They all turned and saw Prince Caspian and Raja standing in another doorway. Raja had used a conic roar to blow the toxic smoke away; but that ability was also used as a weapon.

"Is everyone alright?" Prince Caspian asked.

"What was that?" Sango asked. She, Miroku, and Kirara had gotten in the middle of the blast. Thankfully, Miroku had put up a barrier just in time.

"This smoke is intoxicated," Miroku said.

"How can you tell?"

"It's not subsiding," Miroku answered as they sat.

"Was that an explosion sister?" Sena asked as she and Kina flew through the air.

"Yeah, we must be getting close," Kina answered not looking away from the smoke.

Sena looked down at the rest of the group; however, Star Fire and Danny were flying with her. Her sister Akina was jumping from tree top to tree top, Kohaku was on Kina's back as she flew, Ed was running pretty fast but most of the time Akina took him on her back and Winry was on Al's metal back as he ran.

"Was it Naraku again?" Prince Caspian asked.

Everyone nodded while still on their knees.

"Follow me."

The group confusingly looked at each other then stood and followed the Prince. They entered an unfamiliar room with a large chair in the back of the room and a red carpet leading to it. There were tables and chairs on the sides of the room; Kida guessed that this was the throne room; and also where he eats.

"What is this place?" Shipo asked.

"It's my throne room," Prince Caspian stated.

"Why have you brought us here?" Bankotsu asked.

"I've been looking for ways to defeat this Naraku, and even thought I have never met him myself, you all have tried numerous times but failed," Prince Caspian said.

"No need to remind us!" Inuyasha sounded a bit annoyed.

"Right; but Naraku no longer has the power of the sacred jewel, yet he is still hard to kill. He was after Kida's mind, for power," Prince Caspian explained.

"But why me? What's so special about my mind?" Kida said irritated.

"Your powers are unique Kida, you need to know how to control them so that no one can take them from you," Prince Caspian said.

"Ok, so tell me this…how come you know so much about me but we've never met?" Kida asked.

Prince Caspian took a deep breath. "Although I have not been out of my castle, I sill know what goes on outside."

"How?"

"My own ability."

"So have you found a way to defeat Naraku or not?!" Inuyasha barked.

"Inuyasha chill!" Kida snapped.

But the Prince didn't say anything. He began thinking hard. He looked at Kida. She wondered what he was thinking.

"Kida, would you mind coming with me for a bit?"

"Uh, sure."

"Artamus and Thantos will guide the rest of your rooms, you need to rest before going after the prize," Prince Caspian said.

Although some of them didn't understand they followed his two men anyway to their rooms while Kida followed the Prince.

"Kida," the Prince finally said when they were alone. Kida turned to him without saying a word. "It's about Bankotsu." Kida froze.

"What about him?" Kida demanded an answer quickly.

"He's in this world by souls of the dead, like that Kikyo. But Kikyo was brought back to life by a witch demon who had taken her remains and made her body out of clay and graveyard soil," Prince Caspian explained. "Although the sent of graveyard soil is on Bankotsu, he was not brought back the same way."

"And how was he brought back?" Kida asked.

"I'm not quite sure yet, but definitely will get back to you on that…my point is, the souls he has can be dangerously taken away from him, causing death. No jewel means no life. No souls means he can't walk on this world. He was killed 3 times; it could mean that he was never meant to walk in this world in the first place. But even though I believe in second chances, I don't think there can be a 4th chance."

"So you want Bankotsu to die!?" Kida said heart broken.

"Not exactly," Prince Caspian said. "What I'm saying is that I'm trying to find a way to keep him connected to this world without souls or jewel shards. When I find out I will contact you, but until then…take care of him, he could break at any moment."

Kida felt even more heart broken. What can she do to make sure that Bankotsu stays? What will she do about Sesshomaru? How can she choose between them?!

Kida closed her eyes in pain of her thoughts, of her memories.

'What do I do!!??' She thought.

Who is she going to choose? I'll leave THAT up to YOU!!! Send Reviews and tell me what you think!!!!!!
