Fight For Me

Chapter 5:

They were at the cave, she stopped before they got to the entrance. "Kagome what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"You're not scared are you?"

"Im not scared, its just"-

"Kagome, nothings gonna happen to you, I promise. The guys are really nice for the most part." She nodded, trusting his words, plus, she was really hungry. They walked into the cave. Everyone turned their heads to see their young leader and some strange girl.

"Bankotsu, you've returned," Renkotsu said. "And I see you've brought a girl along."

Bankotsu nodded, Kagome hiding more and more behind him, "everyone, this is Kagome. She's my friend. No one is to touch, and everyone is to be nice to her." Everyone nodded and said 'Hello Kagome' in unison. He stepped aside to let everyone see him, leaving her shaking where she stood. Bankotsu only chuckled.

"Bankotsu, do you think we could get something to eat now?" she asked nervously.

"Yeah. Suikotsu, get Kagome something to eat." Suikotsu only nodded and did as he was told, handing Kagome her serving of boars head. She smiled and nodded, gobbling down her food while standing. Bankotsu only looked at her, a smirk on his face.

"What?" she asked as she swallowed her last gulp of food.

"Nothing."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Uhmm Kagome, how long do you think you'll be staying?"

"I dunno, I hadnt thought about it"-

"Its not that I want you to leave or anything. I just wanna know how long I'll see you around here," he smiled, everyone but Kagome noticed he was blushing.

'Wow, Bankotsu must really like this girl. I've never seen him blush before. I wonder if she likes him too.' Suikotsu thought. 'I dont blame him though, she is quite beautiful, although her clothes ae very weird and too revealing. She seems nice, a good characteristic for a mother. I wonder what else she can do.'

"So, Kagome, ow did you come to meet Bankotsu?" Suikotsu asked, yet they all were interested in hearing the story.

"Well, Bankotsu saved me," she said, smiling at a still blushing Bankotsu.

"He saved you, did he? How so?"

"I fell asleep in a hotspring and a wolf demoness who hated me attacked me. Luckily Bankotsu was coming to bathe himself when he saw her. He killed her and took me with him."

"Why'd he do that?" Renkotsu asked.

"Because I couldnt just leave her there naked, unconscious, and out in the open where she was vulnerable for anything to happen," Bankotsu interrupted, smiling back at Kagome.

"Who knows what wouldve happened to me if Bankotsu hadnt done that," she added.

"That sounds so romantic!" Jakotsu yelled. Bankotsu and Kagome just laughed at him, blushing hard.

"Kagome, its going to get dark soon. Do you want to bathe before you go to sleep?" Bankotsu asked.

"Sounds great," she smiled. "Wheres the closest hotspring?" Everyone but Kagome laughed, "what? Whats so funny?"

"We dont use hotsprings."

"Then what do you use?"

"We have our own bath house, its by our house."

"House? You have a house?"

"Of course. You didnt think we lived here did you?"

"Well, yeah. I mean, why are you here then?"

"We needed somewhere to meet Bankotsu when he went away, so we picked this place."

"So you guys when are you guys going back home?"

"We were planning on going back as soon as Bankotsu came back, but it looks like we'll be leaving in the morning now."

"Why dont we just go now? I mean, its not completely dark yet."

"She has a point," Suikotsu stated. "What do you think Bankotsu?"

"I say if Kagome wnats to go to the house now, then we should go now."

"Alright. You heard him guys, we're going back home," Renkotsu announced. They all got up and headed out to the home of the Band of Seven.

Sango

She was rebuilding her home in her old village. She and Miroku had decided to rebuild the village and live there. They would tell Inuyasha when he came back with Kagome, if he came back with Kagome. Sango hoped that wherever her friend was that she was somewhere safe and happy, even if that wasnt with Inuyasha. Since she had known Kagome and the others, she never quite understood why Kagome had stayed with Inuyasha throughout everything he did to her, though, she didnt know why she had stayed with Miroku and his lecherous way, yet, she's glad she did. She was happier than she can remember. With Naraku dead, she and Miroku could get married and start their new life together. Miroku had told her about his plans, as she ahd done with him. They had decided that once the village was rebuilt, they would get married and have children. Sango wanted to live in a safe environment before she brought children into the world. She, Miroku, and Kilala would stay in the village until Kagome and Inuyasha returned. She was doing a great job. Miroku had gone back to Kaede's to get more supplies. Kilala was still with her, but she couldnt help wondering if Kilala should have went with Miroku. She had a feeling something bad was about to happen. 'Whats going on?'

Miroku

Something just didnt sit right with him, but he brushed it off as an old habit of when Naraku was still alive. He carried the materials back to the village. A short distance away from where he was he could see Sango trying to fix the ceiling, but was too short. He couldnt wait to marry her, he wanted her to be the mother of his children so bad. He wnated to see what their future would be like, how many kids they would have, how the village looked as they got old. Thoughts raced through Miroku's mind as he carried the supplies and dropped them in the middle of the village.

"Miroku, you've returned!" Sango announced.

"Indeed my dearest Sango. I must talk to you aboutt something."

"What is it?"

"Sango, I was thinking, why wait until the village is complete to get married. Why not get married now? I mean, we could hold off on having children until its finished."

"Miroku, are you saying you wanna get married now, rather than wait until the village is finished?"

"Indeed, Sango. What do you think?"

"I think its wonderful!" she exclaimed, jumping on him. "Wait, we have to wait until Kagome and Inuyasha return. I want them to be there."

"I know, but, what if they decide not to return? We cant wait forever."

-Sigh- "You're right. When do you wanna have the weeding? I was thinking in 3 weeks, just to get everything prepared."

"3 weeks it is then. I just have to otify Kaede and the rest of the village."

"This is so exciting. Im getting married in 3 weeks!" She was jumping up and down, clapping her hands with joy.

They entered one of the only completed house in the village, they only had 3 houses left to complete and then all they would need was a garden for food and they were finished. The village had been worked on since the day Sango lost her family. Demon slayers from all over tried to fix it up while they passed through. They had heard of Sango and how this was her village before they all died, but had heard that she may come back to live in it again one day with her new family. They did her a big favor. Had they not, it would have taken them 3 times as long to rebuild the entire village. Miroku wrapped the cover around Sango as she layed down next to him in the bed. Kilala has a pillow and blanket of her own on the floor by the door. She was like their watchdog, only, she was a demon and a cat. He kissed her forhead goodnight before they all drifted off to sleep.
