NOW:
In Bankotsu and Kitty's room:
Sesshomaru reached out and opened the door and peered into the room. The room was enormous. It had brilliant red walls with midnight black trim. A king sized poster bed, with brilliant red bedding, was located directly in the middle of the room.
Sesshomaru saw Bankotsu still sitting in one of the rooms’ adorning black chairs that had been pulled up beside the bed.
Kitty lay on the bed eyes closed and breathing. Her inky black hair pillowed beneath her on the brilliant red silk sheets.
Bankotsu was clasping one of her hands gently between his own two hands and staring at her face intently.
Sesshomaru's POV
I opened the door and peered inside. I spotted Bankotsu beside her bed a noticed once again that he had not slept.
I thought to myself 'Hm, He has barely slept since we arrived here, and is almost constantly by her side! He must truly be worried.' I proceeded to enter the room.
Regular POV
Bankotsu looked extremely tired, and worried, but mostly worried with bags under his eyes from his lack of sleeping.
Sesshomaru walked into the room, looked at Bankotsu, and asked, "How is she?"
Bankotsu looked at him and said with his voice and eyes full of concern, "Still no change yet." Sesshomaru nodded, walked over and placed his hand tenderly against her cheek.
Kitty felt someone touching her cheek, and began to stir. Sesshomaru bent forward and lightly kissed her forehead, then pulled back and looked down at her face.
She began to flutter her eyes lids, then opened her eyes, and asked, "S...Se...Sesshomaru?"
Sesshomaru smiled into her caramel confused eyes and questioned, "Hn... how are you feeling?"
Kitty replied, "A little bit groggy... What happened? I thought I was dead?" while gazing into his warm golden eyes.
Sesshomaru informed, "No you are not dead, father and your incarnation-" Kitty nodded her understanding while holding his gaze.
She gently lifted her head and looked around querying, "Where are the others?"
Bankotsu moved to sit beside her again, and lifted her hand, lightly brushing his lips across her knuckles, as he exclaimed, "Kitty.... Thank Kami-sama!" with immense relief in his blue eyes.
Kitty smiled at him and said, "Bankotsu," as she reached up and gently cupped his cheek with one hand, in an effort to comfort and soothe him.
He used his other hand to hold hers on his cheek and leaned into her touch with his eyes closed as he savored her caress.
Kitty tried to reassure, "I am fine now." gazing deeply into the sapphire eyes of the man she loves.
Bankotsu smiled at her, sat beside her on the bed, and hugged her gently. She smiled and hugged him back.
Sesshomaru smiled seeing this and cleared his throat and informed, "I will have the food sent in and ensure you two are left undisturbed for the remainder of the night. We will talk in the morning. You may also see the others later tomorrow, if you feel up to it."
Kitty pulled back, looking at him and nodded, saying, "Thanks." giving him a small smile.
Bankotsu looked into Sesshomaru's golden gaze and said, "Sesshomaru... Thank you." A look passed between the men and Sesshomaru nodded before taking his leave.
Bankotsu turned back to face Kitty and asked, "How do you feel?" with concern in his face.
Kitty smiled at him and said, "Much better. Hold me Bankotsu please, just hold me for a while?" nuzzling into his arms.
Bankotsu grinned and stated, "Gladly, and this time I am never going to let you out of my sight again," he vowed fiercely.
He gently stretched out beside her and cuddled her to his chest, with his arms around her waist, while one rested lazily upon her curvy hip. She smiled and nuzzled into his chest hugging him tighter.
Bankotsu said frustratedly, "I was so afraid.... that you would never wake up.” Stopping for a minute to choke back some of his emotional turmoil, before finishing, “Afraid that I would never get to-" unwilling to finish his sentence.
Kitty gave him a weak smile and said, "Oh Ban.... I... I'm sorry to have worried you like that." Staring into his eyes, with one hand cupping his cheek.
Kitty snuggled deeper into his arms, looked him dead in the eye, and declared dead seriously, "I love you Bankotsu." Telling him the one thing he had been waiting to hear since they first got together.
Bankotsu grinned staring her directly in the eye and declared just as seriously, "I love you too, Koneko, with all that I am." Telling her what he had never had the gumption to tell her before. She smiled a brilliant smile at him.
He held her gaze and demanded sternly, "Woman, don't you ever,” heavily emphasizing on 'ever' “scare me like that again!" giving her a stern gaze.
She tenderly kissed his cheek and said, "I won't." grateful that they could finally be together, completely- without her duty interfering..
She added softly, "At least now we can really be together. My task is finally completed, and no longer dictates my future. I’m now free to do as I wish."
Bankotsu smiled and corrected, "Yes we can." Adding seriously, “As long as we can be together.” as he ran his fingers through her hair lovingly.
Kitty sighed contently, tenderly kissed his lips, and then lay back down on his chest, feeling happier than she ever had before.
He tenderly kissed the top of her head and held her close to his heart, feeling completely at peace for the first time in his life. Afterwards they lay there just resting in each other's arms for a while, savoring the fact that they were alive and together.
Outside the kitchen:
Sesshomaru faced the imp and commanded, "Jaken, have food and refreshments taken to Bankotsu's room and left outside the door. Knock once, to let him know it's there and make sure no one disturbs him afterwards."
Jaken nodded and said, "Yes Milord." and left to do as he had been bid. Sesshomaru walked towards the dining hall to join the others.
In the dining hall:
Sesshomaru entered and sat at the head of the table, with Kagome on one side, and Rin on his other side.
Inuyasha and Kikyo sat on the other end, with Sango, Miroku, and Kohaku on one side, and Jakotsu, Renkotsu, and Suikotsu on the other side.
Kagome looked at her mate to be and questioned, "Will Bankotsu be joining us tonight?" slightly concerned for their friend.
Sesshomaru stared her dead in the eye and informed her, "No, He will being staying by her side again. Although, she did wake up shortly before I came down here," with his lips tilting into a small smile.
Sango, and Kagome both jumped up and asked happily, "Really!?" Kirara mewled.
Renkotsu looked at Sesshomaru and queried, "She's awake!?!" unable to believe she had pulled through.
Inuyasha decreed, "It's about damn time!" grinning big as day.
Suikotsu faced Sesshomaru and asked, "How does she feel?" ever the dutiful healer.
Kikyo added, “Good, I’m glad.” happy for their good news.
Kohaku smiled and exclaimed, "Thank Kami-sama!" relieved she was okay.
Miroku said, "Thank goodness." pleased that the woman had pulled though her ordeal.
Jakotsu smiled and announced, "Good, now perhaps Big brother will finally sleep tonight."
Rin looked at Sesshomaru and asked, "When can we go see her?" curiosity in her deep brown eyes.
Sesshomaru nodded facing everyone and informed them seriously, "I had food sent to them and told them they wouldn't be disturbed for the rest of tonight. You will all have to wait until tomorrow to visit her." Everyone nodded.
The food was put on the table and Sesshomaru told everyone to begin eating. Everyone ate, and then walked off to their rooms.
Back at Bankotsu's room:
The servant left the food cart in front of the door, knocked on the door, announcing the food was there, and then promptly left.
Hearing this Bankotsu opened his eyes, stood up walking to and opening the door. He rolled the cart inside, and then closed the door.
He rolled the food cart over beside the bed, and bent down, lightly brushing some hair out of Kitty's face, and commanded softly, "Okay babe, it's time to eat."
Kitty smiled and nodded as she moved to sit up and Bankotsu promptly helped her. She smiled at him and said, "Thank you." He nodded and sat beside her.
They sat there and ate the delicious food, and then Bankotsu stood up and rolled the cart back outside, re-closing the door, before returning to the bedside and sitting down beside Kitty again. They sat there just talking and enjoying each other’s company for a while.
Kitty gazed into the sapphire eyes she loved so much and questioned curiously, "How long was I out for?"
Bankotsu sighed heavily and answered sadly, "Two weeks," relieved that the ordeal was finally coming to an end.
Kitty's eyes widened in shock and she breathed, "Oh, wow.” Shocked at how long she’d been out.
She noticed that he looked tired and mentioned, "You look exhausted, babe." tracing the bags under his eyes with a single finger.
He gazed into the caramel eyes he loved so much and informed her, "I am. I have barely even slept since we got here. I was afraid that if I did you would..." unwillingly to finish the sentence.
Kitty moved to snuggle into him and said, "Sorry baby, but I’m okay now. So now you can sleep." He nodded.
She pulled back staring him dead in the eye and admonished sternly, "And you had better sleep tonight."
Bankotsu reached out and held her close, stating relieved, "Now that I know you are okay, I will." She nodded and said, "Good."
They moved so she was lying on her back comfortably on the bed. Bankotsu laid his head on her chest, with his arms wrapped around her waist.
Kitty began running her hand in soothing circles along his back and felt him relaxing, she smiled. Then a few minutes later she snaked one hand up to his hair and undid his braid, and began running her fingers through his hair soothingly, while holding him to her.
He sighed contently snuggling more firmly to her and said, "Mmm that feels so good!. Gods how I have missed you baby!" then he leaned up on his elbows and hovering over her, he tenderly kissed her lips and laid his head back down on her chest.
She kissed the top of his head tenderly and stated, "I missed you too, Babe."
She continued running her fingers through his hair until well after he fell asleep. Afterwards she yawned and drifted to sleep herself, smiling and embracing her lover.
With Sango and Koahku:
They were sitting in the girl’s room talking. Sango stared in her brother's chocolate eyes and said excitedly, "Finally- I am so relieved Koneko finally woke up! I can't wait to see her tomorrow."
Kohaku gazed into his sister's equally chocolate eyes and asked, "Just what all have I missed since-"
Sango not wanting to hear the rest informed, "Koneko and I ran into each other in a hot spring one night. Kagome and I went to soak and found someone already there. It turned out it was Koneko. I didn't figure that out until I saw her weapon and asked about it. It's the same one Father made for her when we were kids."
Kohaku completely baffled asked, "I thought she was dead?" confusion in his eyes.
Sango shook her head adamantly and stated firmly, "So did I! We talked her into camping with us that night; she explained that the village headman decided that she couldn't leave."
Kohaku frowned and questioned, "So how did she end up with Bankotsu and the others?"
Sango smiled and answered, "She said that he saved her life several times. They became friends and then eventually became lovers."
Kohaku nodded then raised a brow questioningly and questioned, "Speaking of which, what's with you and that Miroku guy?"
Sango blushed and said, "He's my... um... we are engaged."
Kohaku blinked and said, "Wow! I really have missed a lot." then he grinned at his big sister and exclaimed, "Congratulations Sister!"
Sango smiled, hugged him and said, "Thank you. I love you Kohaku." glad they had been able to save him.
Kohaku smiled, hugged her back and said, "I love you too Sango." happy to be free finally.
He pulled back and held her gaze adding sternly, "But Miroku had better treat you right, or else!" Sango laughed and nodded.
Sango stared him dead in the eye and said dead seriously, "They are good people and demons... Inuyasha can be a bit of a pain and Sesshomaru can seem cold, but deep down they are good too!"
Kohaku said, "Yup! I’m glad that mess with Naraku is finally finished." shuddering.
Sango said, "Me too! But mostly, I’m just glad to have you back again little brother."
Kohaku grinned and said, "Me too!"
They hugged each other and Sango mentioned, "Night Kohaku." with a yawn.
Kohaku said, "Night Sango." and left towards the guy’s rooms.
Kikyo walked in and said, "Night Sango." climbing into her own bed.
Sango said, "Night Kikyo." They settled in for the night and were asleep shortly afterwards.
In Inuyasha, Kohaku, and Miroku's room:
Kohaku walked in and sat beside the wall. Miroku looked at him and asked, "Did you have a nice chat with your sister?"
Kohaku nodded smiling and answered, "Yes, and she told me something very interesting..."
Miroku looked at him slightly anxiously and questioned, "Oh, and what was that?"
Kohaku looked him dead in the eye and said, "She told me the two of you are engaged." grinning.
Miroku beamed and said proudly, "Yes we are." with happiness in his eyes.
Kohaku said dead seriously, "Congratulations then. However, if you hurt her I will kick your ass! Understood?"
Miroku smiled and nodded, then decreed dead seriously, "I wouldn't hurt my lovely Sango for anything in the world."
Kohaku nodded and mentioned, "Good! See that you don't."
Inuyasha walked in and asked, "Feh! What are you bozos up to?"
Miroku grinned and said, "Discussing my lovely Sango." with a dreamy look in his eyes.
Inuyasha mumbled, "Never mind." and sat on his bed. The trio turned in for the night and went to sleep.
With Jakotsu, Renkotsu, and Suikotsu:
Jakotsu announced determinedly, "Tomorrow I am definitely going to see big brother and little sister!"
Suikotsu nodded and said just as determined, "I will go to see how they are both holding up, as well."
Renkotsu said, "Hmph, whatever! As long as you two don't take forever, I plan on seeing them as well." They all nodded and went to sleep.
With Kagome, Sesshomaru, and Rin:
Kagome tucked Rin into bed and said, "Night Rin." and gently kissed her forehead.
Rin hugged Kagome's neck and said happily, "Night Kagome." Kagome returned the hug, and then stood beside Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru kissed Rin's forehead and stated, "Sleep well Rin."
Rin hugged his neck and said cheerily, "Night daddy!" Sesshomaru returned the hug and hid a smile. He then stood behind Kagome and hugged her waist from behind.
Kagome laid a hand on his arm around her waist, smiled and leaned back into him. They stood there a minute waiting for Rin to fall asleep, and then holding hands they walked towards Sesshomaru's bedroom.
In Sesshomaru's room:
Sesshomaru looked at Kagome and said, "Let’s get some sleep, we have a lot to do tomorrow." Kagome nodded. They changed into their sleeping clothes and climbed into bed. They cuddled together and fell asleep instantly.
