Chapter Fourteen

Eternal Question, Eternal Answer

"Heh. I wonder how long they're gonna be gone for now..." said Jakotsu sitting on the floor beside the futon. Sango shrugged. " Well its an hours walk there and an hours walk back so at least 2 hours and not to mention they have to talk...so three hours maybe?" she said.

"Oh really?.." said Jakotsu. "Yeah. Why?" said Sango looking at him funny. He crawled over to where she was sitting on the futon and slid his arms around her waist. "Sango..." he whispered into her ear. " What are you doing!" yelled Sango pulling away out of instinct.

"What am I doing? Im calling your name" said Jakotsu with the most innocent look her could fake on his face. " Sure..." said Sango rolling her eyes.

"Sango...I...want to ask you something..." said Jakotsu pulling her onto his shoulder and putting his head on top of hers. " Sango. Do you love me?" he said. " Yes. Of course! Why?" she said as she closed her eyes and felt him slide his fingers in between hers.

"Because Sango...I dont know...how long this is gonna take you guys...to defeat this Naraku even though we're supposed to be working for him...but you know we will help you instead of fight you right?" he said as he took his head off of hers and pushed her off his shoulder as well. Sango opened her eyes and gave him an annoyed glare.

Jakotsu took her hands in his and said "Look at me, Sango." She did that and found his gaze extremely strong and was kinda hard to keep. " Sango. I never thought I would ever love a girl, guys were always so much better, but anyways I did. I never thought I would give my heart to you, but I did. Sango. You hold my heart now. And..." he broke off trying to find the right words. Sango said nothing.

"And if we do help you fight Naraku, then...I dont know if we'll both make it out alive...and Sango...even if we don't die then, you need to finish the jewel and..all seven of us will need to die anyways." he said. " But Kagome said she would bring you back with the jewel." said Sango feeling that this conversation was getting serious. woah...even the light hearted Jakotsu can be serious when he needs to...

"Yes. But we dont know for sure yet." he said. " No! Kagome will! She's my best friend and she's like my sister now! I know she will!" said Sango. " Sango. Calm down." said Jakotsu. " Yes, Kagome might bring us back with the jewel, but we may also...stay dead as well right?" She sighed. " Jakotsu...why are you talking about death and the jewel now? This is our last night together...and...I dont know if Ill even see you again after this..." she said as she looked down to hide her tears.

"Exactly, Sango. " he said. " Jakotsu...I- I love you." she whispered as a tear fell down her cheek and onto the floor. He reached out and lifted her head. " Sango. I love you too...and...I...I want to see you again...I dont ever want to be separated from you..." he said. She gasped and put her hands over her heart.

"Sango...I know...We haven't know each other for very long, and...you only accepted my love tonight, but...We're gonna be separated for a long time now, Sango...and there will be other guys on the road...and..there is a chance that one of them or more will fall in love with you as well." said Jakotsu. What is he talking about?...what does he mean that some other guy will fall in love with me?...she thought. "What are you talking about ?" said Sango, her face turning red.

"Sango...Get up." he said. She did while giving him a funny look, but no complaint. He stood up beside her. "Jakotsu...what are you doing? What are you saying?" said Sango while kinda backing away. He looked her in the eye, then dropped to his knees in front of her.


Bankotsu laid his head on top of hers. " And I love you, Kagome." he said as he kissed her head and buried his face in her hair.

Slowly, Kagome stopped crying enough to pull away from Bankotsu and look up at him. " Bankotsu...Im sorry..." she said quietly with a hiccup. Bankotsu smiled and kissed her nose like he always did. " I forgive you. And you look so damn cute right now." he said.

Kagome hiccuped again. " Kagome...Im sorry too." he said. Kagome nodded "You're forgiven if im forgiven." she said.

"You are." said Bankotsu and stole her lips in a passionate kiss. He thrust his tongue into her mouth and found her tongue. She looked at him for a second before closing her eyes and opening her mouth wider to him. She reached out with her own tongue and they were caught in a fiery dance.

Finally, Kagome pulled back. "Bankotsu..." she said while leaning her head onto his chest. " Remember...when we first met here?" she whispered while looking up at him. "Yes...I could never forget that day now could I love?" he said while turning his head to look at the hotsprings " Wanna go in sweet?"

"Yes!" yelled Kagome and ran out of his arms, ripped off her makeshift dress and jumped in. Bankotsu laughed and followed her. " Watch Kagome..." he said, standing at the edge of the pool. She turned around " Watch what?" she said " Watch me strip for you." said Bankotsu.

"What?!" said Kagome. " Well...you know you want it right?" he said with a half laugh. Kagome sighed then realized that she did want it and she couldn't force herself to think so otherwise. " Fine .You win. I do want it." she said with a small smile.

"Awesome. I knew you would." he said with another short laugh. He tugged off his undone shirt and threw it onto the ground leaving his top bare. Kagome smiled and licked her lips without her noticing. Bankotsu noticed too and laughed at her. " Like it Kagome?" he said. " No I would like what's under you pants more." she said with a smile. " Oh okay...I wouldn't wanna keep you waiting now would I?" he said as he reached up to the sash of his pants.

Kagome kept her eyes on his hands and didn't blink the whole time he undid the sash. Finally, after what seemed like forever to her, he moved his hands and let his pants drop to reveal him to her for the second time. She licked her lips again.

"Im coming love, hold on..." said Bankotsu with a smirk as he slid into the water and down beside Kagome.

"Bankotsu..you're so damn sexy..." she said as got up and sat on his lap. His arms were rested on the rocks that lined the edge of the pool and his hair was floating around him like a black shadow. She leaned forwards and kissed his cheek.

"Didnt I kiss your cheek the first night Kagome?" he said after she pulled back again. She giggled and nodded . " Yeah and you hugged me too." she said. ' You were so shy with me though!"

"Well...I didnt know you that well then.." said Bankotsu " But you're still my pretty lady right?" Kagome smiled " Of course!" and kissed his nose.

" Kagome..." he said after a little silence. " What?" she said. " Do you really have to go tomorrow? Can't you stay for a longer time?" he said losing a bit of his spirit.

"Bankotsu...you know how much I wanna stay...but...We need to go...we need to defeat Naraku...and Inuyasha wants..." said Kagome, knowing that she shouldn't say the next part.

"Inuyasha wants what?" said Bankotsu looking into her eyes. " He-he wants to kill the Shichinintai..." she whispered while looking away.

Bankotsu said nothing. " Kagome...We have to kill your group too..." he said. Kagome sighed. " I know...maybe..." she said as she got up and off his lap. She walked to the opposite edge of the pool and looked up at the moon. " Maybe we weren't allowed to fall in love in the first place Bankotsu...Maybe, this was forbidden love..." she said.

"Kagome...A girl once told me love will find a way..." he said. Kagome turned around and smiled. " You're right bankotsu. But still..." she said.

"Yeah I know...we still have to figure out what to do when we meet the rest of your group..." said Bankotsu. " But don't worry, Ill never hurt you. I swear!"

"I know." said Kagome with a smile and walked back to him and sat back on his lap. " Kagome...When you leave tomorrow...I'll...I'll miss you...alot.." he said looking at her.

" I know..And I'll miss you too Bankotsu."

"Kagome..Im not sure what will happen, but promise me that you will make it out alive to see me again." he said. Kagome nodded. " You too love, you too." she said.

He nodded " Promise."

"wait! If another girl falls in love with you while Im away Bankotsu?" said Kagome with a sly smile. " You know how hot you are."

Bankotsu laughed. " You're my only one Kagome. No matter how many other girls like me, you're the only one that will hold my heart." he said. Kagome smiled. " Now what about you, you're a real beauty yourself." he said.

Kagome laughed as well. " Hey...I love you and you only. Why give up such a hottie?" she said. Bankotsu smiled at her. "Kagome..." he said as he picked her up. She shrieked when he laid her down on the ground beside the pool face up and crawled over her." Hey Kagome...Do you...Want to continue what we started?..." he asked suddenly going kinda shy.

"Hm? Continue what?" she said. " What...we were doing before Jakotsu and Sango walked in on us..." he said as a light blush crept onto his face.

Kagome laughed at his embarrased face. " No blush love." she said. He smiled at her and said " Well? Do you wanna?" His voice was so eager it made Kagome smile and think of a 5 year old kid waiting to see what his Chirstmas present was.

"Bankotsu..." said Kagome. " I...you...I know you heard me and Sango talk in the forest earlier...I know you heard our promise to each other..."

"What? The save your virginity for your husband thing?" he said. Kagome nodded. He went silent for a while then said " I understand."

"W-what?" said Kagome. " your really...?..."

"Of course.." said bankotsu. " I respect your wants as well. I don't just listen to mine right?" Kagome smiled. He really was one in a million. " Thankyou, Bankotsu." she said as she sat back up and laid her head on his shoulder.

"Bankotsu...you're..so...I don't think any other guy would've said that..." she said as she closed her eyes. He smiled."I love you Kagome, your happiness matters to me too, not just mine."

"I know...but Bankotsu...I- I dont wanna leave you...I wanna stay by your side." she said " Every moment I spend near you, im happy."

"Re-really?" said Bankotsu. "Really Bankotsu, really." she said.

After a moment's silence, she said " You think we should go back now? It's been a long time and..it takes a long time to get back as well..

Bankotsu sighed. He really wanted more time alone with her , but ah well...she wanted to go back and she was his everything right? " Sure love. If you want." he said.

Kagome smiled and nodded.


Sango gasped. One of the Shichinintai, the fearless group of mercenaries who killed and spared no women or children, was kneeling in front of her.

"Sango..." he said as he looked up at her and took her hands in his. " I know, I know you and Kagome think me as the gay guy, but...Im...I love you...so technically, im straight now...but...I love you so much Sango...And...Its your choice, but when Naraku is defeated and the Jewel is completed..and Kagome wishes us back to life...Will you...live with me...and...marry me..."

Sango was at a lose for words " J-jakotsu..." she whisperedwith her eyes 5 inches wider then they normally were. Oh my god he just proposed to me...awww what should I say ? What should I say?...I do love him to hell and back right?...Jakotsu...you make me feel so happy when Im around you...I...I can't imagine my life without you even though I havent know you for that long...but still...but this is forever right?...as long as I live Ill have to stay by his side..but...Jakotsu...I love you too much to leave your side...so i guess...I will...accept you...

"Jakotsu" she said again "I..I will." she continued as a blush crept onto her face and tears formed in her eyes. " You-You will?!?" said Jakotsu.

"YES!" shouted Sango. Jakotsu jumped up and threw his arms around her. " Sango!!" he shouted and spun her around the room. Sango laughed and shouted with joy like she was having the time of her life.

Jakotsu put her down again and stole her lips in a passionate kiss. " That's it. You're mine and Im yours. No one can come between us now." he said. Sango smiled and pulled him into another kiss.

"Jakotsu..." said Sango as she ran her hands through his hair. " Jakotsu..." When she found her hands stuck in that little blue thing he uses to hold his hair up, she growled. He laughed and reached up. His hand wrapped around the blue thing and pulled. His hair came down.

OMG he looks even more like a girl now...oh great...but it is kinda cute right?...thought Sango as she slid her hands back into his hair and began running through it.

"Jakotsu..." she whispered and he kissed her again. And again. And again.

"Woah Jakotsu looks even more like a girl with his hair down." said a voice from the door. Jakotsu and Sango broke apart and saw Bankotsu and Kagome standing there with his arm around her waist.

Kagome laughed. " So...what happened here while we were gone Sango?" she said. Sango blushed. "Um...well...you see..." she managed to say. " Shes gonna marry me!!!" yelled Jakotsu and swung Sango around again.

"NANI!?!" yelled Bankotsu and Kagome. " Are you serious??!" yelled Kagome. " What the hell is wrong with the world?!?" yelled Bankotsu.

"No seriously." said Jakotsu putting her down and looking at them. " She is." Kagome looked to Sango. " Sango?" she said. Sango nodded and blushed even redder.

"CONGRATS!!! I wanna be maid of honor at you wedding!!" yelled Kagome running up and hugging her friend. Bankotsu stared at her with a are you serious look. Jakotsu laughed. " If Sango wants then you can." he said.

"Jakotsu.." said Bankotsu shaking his head. " Wow." Jakotsu turned to him " Haha...Well...I love her right? So why not?" he said. Bankotsu smiled. " And plus Sango, your mines and mine only, even if you have to leave tomorrow and dont see you, your still mine. And no other guy can have you." said Jakotsu in a slightly louder voice so everyone heard him.

Sango smiled and blushed some more. " When are you going down the aisle ?!?!" said Kagome jumping up and down all excited for her friend. " After we defeat Naraku and finish the jewel probably." she said.

" Grr..." groaned Kagome. " I wonder how long it is before we finish that damn it jewel..." Sango smiled. " Why? Are you getting married as well?"

Kagome looked at her. " Hm? No...Why?" she said. " Well...you were wondering with a groan how long it is before we finish the jewel so I thought..." said Sango.

Kagome sighed. " Sango..When we finish the jewel, I can be a normal girl again. I can go back to my time, finish school and my only worries will be what guys are hot and what guys are not. I dont have to fear for my life everyday. But then again, it'll mean leaving all of you guys behind..." she finished with a sad smile.

"Kagome...Take your time to make your desicion. Even if you leave me and Inuyasha and the rest of the inu tachi, we'll be behind you ever step of the way." said Sango.

"Thankyou..." Kagome whispered.

"I would one day like to see what your time looks like Kagome..." said Jakotsu. " When we meet you again, I promise Ill take you there. How bout that?" she said with a smile. He nodded. " I get to come too right?" said Bankotsu giving her a kiss on the cheek. Kagome nodded. " Of course. What would I do without you?" she said.

He smiled.

"You think we should sleep now? The sun's gonna rise really soon and Inuyasha will kick our ass if we slow him down." said Sango. " Yeah..." said Kagome.

The two couples laid down on Bankotsu's futon and the moment their heads hit, they fell into a deep and dreamless sleep.
