Chapter 4:
In the dining hall:
Around the dinner table was Inuyasha who was standing up glaring and growling, with Kikyo trying to hold him back, Jakotsu who was busy laughing his ass off, Suikotsu who was massaging his temples, and Renkotsu who was sitting there thinking: “What did I ever do to deserve being stuck with these morons?”
Kagome was sitting next to her mate to be. Four wolf demons were standing around the elaborate room, and one arguing with Inuyasha.
Miroku and Sango were busy ushering Shippo, Rin, and Kohaku, outside. Kitty and Bankotsu's eyes widened and they just stood there a moment.
Kouga sniffed the air and then spotted Kitty and grinned saying, “Forget you dog turd.” He began to approach Kitty smirking as he asked, “Kitty, It's so good to see you up and about. How have you been, my sweet?”
Immediately frowning Bankotsu stepped protectively in front of his woman and warned, “Back off wolf boy.” staring the wolf dead in the eyes.
Kitty wrapped her arms around Bankotsu's waist and answered smiling, “Bankotsu has been taking very good care of me.” Bankotsu smirked and his chest burst with pride as he looked down at the woman who had won his heart, and now stood beside him.
Kouga laughed saying, “That's good.” pleased to see that she was looking healthy as ever.
Ayame walked up scrutinizing Kitty and asked amused, “So this is the one, huh?” Kitty blinked. Bankotsu pulled Kitty's back against his chest and glared at Kouga silently warning him to keep his distance.
Kouga laughed and said amused, “Relax zombie boy, Ayame here is my mate.” with pride in his eyes and voice.
Kitty smiled and held out her hand saying happily, “Ayame, it's nice to finally meet you. I'm Kitty and this stud behind me is Bankotsu.” Bankotsu smirked and nuzzled her hair lovingly.
Ayame grinned saying, “I see why Kouga likes you so much. It's nice to meet you too.” The women shook firm grips and were hugged from behind by their perspective men.
Ayame added gratefully, “Kouga and the others told me I have you to thank for convincing Kouga to keep his promise... so thank you.”
Kitty smiled saying, “I'm glad he did.” happy that the wolf had done the right thing.
Ayame added, “Me too.” with pure happiness shining in her emerald eyes.
Turning to face Bankotsu with love shinning in her eyes, Kitty added happily, “There is nowhere else I would rather be- than with Bankotsu.”
Bankotsu grinned boyishly and said happily, “There is nowhere else I would rather be- than with my Kitty.” before lowering his head and capturing Kitty's lips a sweet kiss full of promise and love.
Kouga smirked demanding, “Aright zombie boy, you've hogged her long enough.” pulling Kitty into a fierce hug. Kitty blinked and then gave him a friendly hug.
Bankotsu stood arms crossed in front of his chest glaring at the wolf grumbling, “Alright wolf boy, you've had your hug. Now get your paws of my woman!”
Kouga laughed and stepped back releasing the hug. He snagged Ayame's waist and said, “Yeah, yeah, zombie boy. Besides, I got Ayame here.” pride and love clear in his eyes as he smiled at his mate.
Bankotsu snagged Kitty's waist bestowing a loving kiss on her cheek and said, “Whatever, wolf boy.” grinning, feeling much better now that she was in his arms again.
Sesshomaru stood and commanded, “Now that everyone has been greeted. Sit.” Everyone took their seats.
Sesshomaru called for Jaken and ordered him to retrieve the slayer and the others so that they could eat. Jaken bowed respectfully and left to do as bid.
Kagome smiling asked, “Hakaku, Ginta, how have you two been?” pleased to see them.
Ginta replied happily, “We have been fine.” grateful to see her happy.
Hakaku added happily, “Thanks for asking.” Smiling Kagome nodded.
Sango and the others returned and everyone ate. After eating they all sat around the table talking while Sesshomaru went into his office.
“So Kitty, what are your plans after the ceremony?” asked Sango curiously.
Smiling she answered, “That really depends on Bankotsu and the others.” and turned to look at her lover.
Staring into her eyes, Bankotsu said, “We need to figure out where we are going to live.” Kitty nodded.
Sango announced excitedly, “Well Miroku, Kohaku, and I are going to return to our village and rebuild it.”
Kitty added wistfully, “That would be so nice.” She had missed having a real home.
Catching the longing in her friend’s voice, Sango offered, “You all could always come with us.”
Kitty smiled saying, “That's up to Bankotsu and the others. I will be happy wherever as long as Bankotsu and I are together.”
Bankotsu though it over and addressed his men, asking, “Well, what do you guys think?” curious as to their thoughts. He was the leader and would always have the final say in any decision concerning his group, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t ever listen to their opinions.
Tapping his chin thoughtfully, Renkotsu stated, “It would be a place to start with.” knowing they didn’t really have many options available currently.
Adding his two cents, Suikotsu agreed, “It would be nice to see where little sister grew up.” Curious as to why the abandoned place would be so enticing to a woman like her.
Frowning as he debated his opinion a while, Jakotsu asked, “What would we do there?” not wanting to rush in to anything blindly.
Kitty answered, “There is so much to be done. The house were all but destroyed, there were like four still standing the last time I saw it.” with sadness in her eyes at the thought of her lost villagers.
Sango added seriously, “The forge needs redone as well.” Remembering that aside from the weapons themselves, a good working forge, was the most important one of a demon slayer’s tools.
An idea came to her and Kitty looked at Renkotsu asking, “Is that something you would be interested in?”
A little surprised at the question, Renkotsu thought it over and said, “Actually yes.” thinking it would be good to have a stable place to do his metal work again.
Kitty smiled adding seriously, “It would take a while to rebuild the village, but we would need a healer then too.” as all eyes went to Suikotsu.
Miroku added, “I am a priest, but I generally don't heal.” having only learned the very basics of tending injuries.
Suikotsu thought it over and agreed, “I could be the healer.” Kitty smiled.
Bankotsu had figured out what Kitty was doing and smiled gratefully at her saying, “That just leaves me and Jakotsu now.”
Kitty said, “Yup,” adding seriously, “We would need someone strong to help rebuild the houses and the training area.” staring into her beloved’s eyes.
Still unconvinced Jakotsu grimaced asking, “What would we do after all the rebuilding was finished?” not wanting to trap himself into a dead end situation.
Sango announced proudly, “Well, I'm hoping that after the village is rebuilt, we can begin training other warriors in the art of demon slaying.”
Koneko added, “You could all still be mercenaries if that's what you want, but I would really prefer it, if you didn't kill the innocents anymore.”
Sango added, “Demon slayers get paid to kill demons, so I guess we aren't that different than mercenaries. We just don’t kill any innocents.” Kitty nodded her agreement. Bankotsu and the others though it over a while and then agreed.
Kitty reminded seriously, “It will be a new beginning for all of us. We would all have a place to call home, plenty of jobs to go around; plenty of work to be done. I seriously doubt any of us would have the time to grow bored.”
Thinking it over, Bankotsu nodded asking, “Well guys?” One by one the others all nodded their agreement.
Bankotsu grinned announcing resolutely, “very well, it’s settled then. After Sesshomaru and Kagome's ceremony, we will live at the demon slayer’s village and help repair it.”
Kitty squealed excitedly saying, “Thank you!” throwing her arms around Bankotsu's neck.
He laughed pulling her into his lap and replied happily, “You're welcome. Besides we needed a place to stay and something to do.” ending with a casual shrug of his shoulders. Kitty smiled nuzzling into his embrace.
Kohaku said happily, “It will be good getting the village repaired and to have everyone there.” adding his own opinion to the mix.
Kitty smiled at him adding, “It will be nice having a real home again.” Though she loved to travel the land, she missed the security of having a stable home.
Bankotsu admitted shyly, “I have always wanted a home.” hugging his precious woman close to his heart.
Jakotsu added slightly worried, “So have we, but we were afraid that no one would accept us. Right guys?” staring at each of his fellow band members. Slowly they nodded their agreement.
Sango said seriously, “I can see why.” Adding seriously, “You are all welcome to live in the place I grew up.” Kitty smiled gratefully at her friend.
Miroku added, “With all of us living there and working to fix it up, we should have the village up and running in no time.” smiling at the happiness on his beloved slayer’s face.
Sango said excitedly, “And once we do, we will finally be able to restore the name of the demon slayers.” Kitty eagerly nodded her agreement.
Bankotsu’s heart soared at the sight of Kitty’s smile as she said, “It will be nice, to feel truly at home again.” Turning to Bankotsu she added seriously, “Though home is where the heart is, and my heart lies with my handsome and powerful mercenary.”
Bankotsu smirked and pulled her into his lap saying, “And my heart lies with my sexy and powerful slayer.” Kitty laughed before kissing him soundly on the lips. Bankotsu smirked and held her to him, kissing her fiercely before pulling back and standing up.
Bankotsu vocalized, “After the ceremony, we should head out right away; so that we can get started on repairing the village.” Sango nodded. Everyone sat down and ate, before turning in for the night, knowing that tomorrow was the big day.
