Chapter 5:
The next morning:
The ceremony had gone off without a hitch. Kagome made the most beautiful bride, and Sesshomaru a strikingly handsome groom. As the Tai Youkai leaned over capturing his blushing bride’s lips in a soul searing kiss, the onlookers cheered boisterously.
Rin and Shippo grinned as they stared up at their new parents, and stood next to each other. Rin’s childish voice said, “Yay! Rin has a mommy and a brother now,” excitement shining in her eyes.
Bankotsu and Kitty smiled at the childrens' enthusiasm, as they slowly made their way over to congratulate the Lord and Lady of the Western lands.
Kitty smiled saying, “Congrats you two, and may you forever be happy together.” as she hugged Kagome, and then Sesshomaru.
Kagome returned the hug saying, “Thank you Kitty.” before taking the excited Rin by the hand, and smiling at her daughter.
Sesshomaru hugged Kitty back whispering, “Be safe and happy, sister of my heart and thank you.”
Kitty nodded and whispered, “And you, brother of my heart.” Smiling she stood back at Bankotsu’s side.
Bankotsu smiled and approached Sesshomaru, holding out his hand he saying, “Take good care of her now.” as he indicated Kagome, by angling his head.
Sesshomaru grasped his hand in a firm shake and nodded assuring, “I will. See that you do likewise.” indicating the priestess that was like a sister to him.
Bankotsu grinned assuring, “I will.” as he moved over to hug Kagome, whishing her happiness, and she did likewise.
Bankotsu then stepped back beside Kitty and led her to stand on the side, while the others congratulated the happy newlyweds.
Inuyasha and Kikyo were next. Kikyo hugged Kagome and said, “Be sure to visit us once in a while.”
Returning the hug, Kagome assured, “We will.” smiling at her predecessor.
Inuyasha stared at Sesshomaru warning, “Better keep a close eye on her, she’s a magnet for attracting trouble.” with a fond grin at Kagome, who scowled at him for the remark.
Sesshomaru assured, “She’s under my protection now, so no one will dare hurt her.” golden eyes showing the promise of pain if anyone dared to prove him wrong.
Kagome grinned. Inuyasha chuckled and nodded. “I’ll hold you to your word.”
Looking at Kagome, he informed her, “Kikyo and I are returning to Kaede’s village, where Kikyo will resume her duties as a priestess, once Kaede has passed.”
Kikyo added seriously, “I know now that even though the jewel is gone, the demons will continue to plague the village. With my mate Inuyasha, as our protector, however- the village will be safe.” love and pride in her no longer dull brown eyes as she stared at her mate.
Kagome smiled, “I’m glad for you both.” truly happy that Inuyasha and Kikyo had been given a second chance. Inuyasha hugged Kagome quickly before stepping aside to allow the next couple to talk to them.
Sango and Miroku approached smiling. Sango hugged Kagome and said, “We will be leaving after the feast, to return to my village.”
Kagome hugged her back asking, “Are you sure this is what you want Sango?” worry in her eyes.
Sango smiled and assured, “Yes. Miroku and Suikotsu will be the healers. Kitty, Kohaku, and I will train new demon slayers and continue our people’s traditions.”
Kagome smiled, “Good luck then Sango.” watching as her best friend embraced her mate.
Sesshomaru nodded and embraced the slayer saying, “If you need anything for your village, send word and you shall have it.”
Sango smiled thanking him and stepped aside. Miroku walked over to Sesshomaru assuring, “Lady Kagome has a way with people and demons alike.” with a fond grin on his face.
Sesshomaru nodded saying, “One of many reasons she is the Lady of the west.” as he carefully eyed the monk who quickly embraced his mate.
Miroku whispered, “Be happy Kagome.” hugging her.
She smiled and assure, “I am and thanks. Make sure you make Sango happy too.” before pulling out of his hug.
Grinning Miroku nodded and stood beside Sango, everyone else said their congratulations to the newlyweds and the feast began.
Once everyone had eaten Bankotsu, Kitty, Sango, Kohaku, Miroku, Jakotsu, Renkotsu, Suikotsu, Inuyasha, and Kikyo all bid the newlyweds a final farewell and took their leaves.
Kitty said, “Just a minute guys,” and pulled Bankotsu aside. Staring him in the eyes she asked, “Are you positive you don’t mind doing this?” worried he might be doing it for her sake.
Bankotsu assured, “I’m more than happy to help rebuild the place that was once your home.” Adding happily, “Plus, it will give the guys a place to live until they can decide what they want to do with their lives.” Pulling her into his arms, he kissed her lips adding, “And it will make my girl happy.”
She grinned and hugged him saying, “Thanks Ban, this means a lot to me.” excitement showing in her eyes.
He smirked, “I know, and you’re welcome.” Before kissing her soundly and adding flirtily, “If you really want to thank me, we can do that later.” and winked, before he led her back towards the others.
She laughed and allowed him to lead her away by the hand. He stood in front of the others asking, “Everyone ready?”
All of his men nodded and he turned to Sango, who nodded and they set off with Sango walking between her fiancé and her brother, and Kirara on her shoulder.
Bankotsu and Kitty walked side by side, both carrying their large weapons, and Jakotsu was on Bankotsu’s other side, with Renkotsu and Suikotsu both bringing up the rear.

A couple weeks later around midday:
The weary travelers arrived at the desolated village and their eyes widened. Bankotsu muttered, “Wow, you two weren’t kidding when you said this placed had been destroyed.” as his blue eyes scanned the remains of the once thriving village.
Sango said sadly, “Yeah, and it looks like two more of the buildings are dilapidated now as well.” with deep sorrow in her big brown eyes, as they scanned her once glorious home.
Kitty’s heart filled with sadness as her caramel eyes began to dull, at the sight before them. She said, “I didn’t think it would be quite this bad, yet.” with a frown marring her face.
Before them two of the remaining four buildings, lay in splinters and piles of rotted walls collapsed to the ground. The two remaining shacks would even need to have their walls shored up, or they too would be crumbling soon.
Sango said, “I don’t understand. The main building is still use-able at least, but when I last visited here, the other buildings were fine.
Bankotsu asked, “How long ago were you last here?” staring at the female warrior.
Sango side and said, “Just a few months ago.” staring at her home, wondering what they were going to do.
Bankotsu said, “Well, that would have been just before winter hit right?” as his eyes took in the mess before them.
Sango sighed, “Yeah,” not sure what he was getting at.
Renkotsu said, “These building were old, right?” as he began searching through the debris.
Sango said, “Well yeah I guess so.” shrugging.
Bankotsu sighed heavily and said, “Well, whining about it won’t get anything done.” and began sifting through one of the crumbled buildings.
Kitty said, “He’s right guys, let’s do what we can for now while we still have sunlight to work with.” and rolled up her sleeves bending down to start combing through the remains and seeing what could be salvaged.
Renkotsu said, “Pile the debris in the middle of the village for now, we can at least use it for firewood.” as he tossed a few broken boards on the ground.
Miroku nodded adding, “We should have water and food gathered for the night as well.” and started helping remove the dilapidated remains.
Jakotsu said, “If you have a bucket or something, I can get the water.” staring at Sango. Sango nodded and retrieved two large buckets for him, before setting aside her weapon and helping to sift through the messes that used to be buildings.
Jakotsu left to retrieve plenty of water from the stream over across the way. Renkotsu said, “If you show me where the forge is, I can start on some reinforcements for the boards.”
Kitty nodded and said, “It’s this way,” and led him over to the small forge explaining, “Even this building fell it seems, but at least the forge appears unharmed.” as she cleared always pieces of the fallen roof, from the pit.
Renkotsu began cleaning out the splinters of wood from the pit and thoroughly inspected the forge, before declaring, “It isn’t the best I’ve seen mind you, but, I can get this up and running by nightfall if we’re lucky.” and set about to do just that.
Kitty nodded and walked back outside to assist the others in clearing the debris from the two fallen buildings, before going to help Sango prepare the two remaining houses, for everyone’s lodgings.
Kohaku was helping the men clear the old building sites of all debris, to prepare to build newer, stronger buildings. Jakotsu lugged the water back to the main lodging and then went to help remove the debris.
By the time the sun began its downward descent; the two groups had managed to clear away all of the debris from the two collapsed buildings, clean the sites, and get the forge up and running.
Bankotsu and Suikotsu had left to hunt and returned with two big boars. They dropped them to the ground and began cutting the meat.
Kitty drug over the big iron pot and began filling it with water, to prepare to stew the meat. Sango had gone foraging for vegetables with Kohaku, and they returned with potatoes, carrots, and some nuts for in the morning.
Sango and kitty cut up the potatoes and carrots and dropped them in the pot of water. Kohaku set the bucket of nuts just inside the doorway of the main building.
Once the meat had been all cute up, the two mercenaries dropped the meat into the pot and placed the now heavy pot over the fire pit and waited for the food to stew.
Everyone sat around the fire talking as the food cooked. Kitty said optimistically, “Not bad at all for half a day’s work.” smiling at how much they had already accomplished.
Sango agreed, “Not bad at all. We’ve even managed to get two of the sites prepped for new construction.” trying to look on the bright side.
Bankotsu sighed, “Yeah.” before instructing, “First thing tomorrow, Suikotsu, Miroku, and I are going to be chopping down trees. We will go with log buildings this time, instead of shacks. Log buildings last a lot longer.”
Suikotsu nodded. Miroku said, “That does make more sense, although I’ve never chopped trees down before.”
Bankotsu grinned and said, “Than its high time you learned.” Addressing the women he said, “Kitty, I want you and Sango to check that shed over yonder and see what all is still useable.”
Kitty and Sango both nodded. Kohaku said, “I could help with that, if you like.” staring at the women.
Sango agreed, Yes Kohaku, that would be great, because you know as much about it as we do.” smiling at him.
Bankotsu nodded and said, “Good. Now Jakotsu, I want you to collect all of the various metal things we cleared today and put them in a pile over near the forge, so that Renkotsu can do his thing.”
Jakotsu said, “Yes big brother. Glad that he wouldn’t have to chop trees.
Renkotsu said, “I’ll start melting down the metal and see about making strong braces so that we can repair and strengthen the outer walls around the village.”
Bankotsu grinned, “Good idea. Okay so everyone knows what to do for tomorrow.” giving a satisfied nod at the chorus of ‘yes sirs’, before cracking his neck.
Kitty said, “Once we have the main buildings back up, and the outer walls repaired, we can work on clearing out and rebuilding the training area.” Everyone nodded.
Bankotsu added smugly, “And by the time we are done rebuilding that, you three will have plenty of space to practice, and so will we.”
She blinked asking, “What do you mean?” staring at him.
Bankotsu informed the group, “I intend to expand the training area a bit, since we won’t need as many houses this time. A few buildings like that shed for storing supplies and such.” and shrugged.
Sango thought it over and agreed, “Makes sense, I mean we basically need to rebuild those last two buildings, and maybe three more after that.”
Bankotsu said, “Yup, one for me and Kitty, One for Kohaku, One for Jakotsu, One for Renkotsu, One for Suikotsu’s office, and two for storing supplies.” Adding, “You and the monk I assumed would take the main building.”
Miroku nodded adding, “Sounds like a good plan to me.”
Renkotsu added, “The forge doesn’t have to have a lot done to it. I’ve managed to scrounge up and replace the walls; it just needs a new roof.”
Bankotsu nodded assuring, “Before the rainy season hits it will have one, but for now, we focus on everyone’s lodgings first.” and everyone agreed.
After eating their fill of the stew, everyone filed into the main building for the night and slept, tired out from today’s work and the long journey.
