Chapter 15

God granted life

Rina's frail, aching, sobbing body got up and was just about to walk away but upon the second that Rina was going to walk sadly away, the warm feel of a mans hand grabbing her own.

Rina, in shock, looked down at her beloved. Her eyes glazed over, fairly fast tears of clear crystals fell down her red pale cheeks.

"I could never leave you baby. But yet I had to I thought I never was going to see that lovely face of yours." Bankotsu said as he smiled weakly at Rina.

Rina smiled back with tears of love, happiness, joy& excitement. Bankotsu slightly sat up and picked up the now pure shard that once resided in the mercenary's neck, in his pocket.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Kyda ran silently towards her fatherly figure. "Otou-san!" Kyda shouted as she gracefully jumped into his arms.

Kyda buried her head into the cool of his neck and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. Bankotsu was shocked at first when she called him father.

'That's right if… no when I become Rina's mate I will be a foster father to Kyda.' Kyda whispered something into Bankotsu's left ear.

It made him smile and brightened his eyes with joy. Kyda let go, kissed him on the cheek and went to play with Shippo. Rina helped Bankotsu up.

"What did she say to you" Rina asked. He replied "She said 'I love you daddy.'"

All Rina could do was smile. 'I never thought Kyda would want Bankotsu as a father …..hell I'm glad she does I love her and bankotsu so much! Now I have something to live for'.
