Chapter Twenty four:
The Aftermath of Battle:
Everyone but Bankotsu stared in awe and slack jawed at Kagome as she held the purified jewel piece.
Sango walked up staring wide eyed at her friend. "How… how did you do that, Kagome?"
Kagome smiled. "It's one of many tricks that Bankotsu and I learned."
Inuyasha blinked unable to believe his eyes.
Jakotsu walked up. "Big brother… are you okay?"
Jaw clenched Bankotsu nodded and looked over at his deceased brother's body. His eyes softened and he released a heavy sigh.
Tara walked up and blinked. "He's finally gone this time… right?"
Miroku ripped off his sacred beads and slowly opened his wrap. He flinched expecting it to be a trick like the last time. His eyes widened.
Sango said excitedly, "Miroku it's gone!"
Miroku looked at his hand blinking. "It really is gone!" he smiled.
Laughing, Sango jumped into his arms.
He picked her up spinning her around and laughed with her.
Kagome smiled, happy for her friends.
Sesshomaru and Kikyo arrived. "It is finished."
Midoriko's ghost faded in where Naraku once stood. Smiling she greeted the group. "You have done well."
Bankotsu snapped his head to the newcomer and inhaled a shocked breath as his eyes landed on her forehead.
Midoriko smiled. "So you've figured it out, eh?" She smiled at the shocked warrior.
Recovering from his shock Bankotsu demanded, "Why do you wear the same symbol as mine?"
Midoriko smiled, "Because, you are my descendant."
Unable to believe her eyes, Sango asked, "Midoriko?" Staring at the ghost of the woman whose legend she had admired for so long.
Midoriko answered, "Hai child, I am she."
Bankotsu stared at the ghost. "How could I be related to you?" his eyes narrowed at her.
Midoriko laughed. "You remind me so much of your great-great grandfather."
Sango stared from Bankotsu to Midoriko and back.
Kirara transformed and ran up to Midoriko and sat by her feet.
Midoriko smiled. "Hello Kirara I have missed you as well," she reached out to lay a spectral hand on her companion's head.
Miroku asked, "Lady Midoriko, I too am curious how a great priestess such as you could be related to a cold blooded killer like Bankotsu."
Midoriko scolded, "Do not judge him without knowing why." Staring at her great-great grandson, she continued, "You have avenged our people and freed your brother's soul. You and your priestess have done what I alone could not. You have proven you are indeed my kin."
Walking over she stood in front of him and Kagome and smiled. "Bankotsu, you and this young lady are a formidable team. With the help of the others, you have vanquished the evil that I could not. I am proud of you, my child." Leaning over she kissed his forehead on the purple star.
Bankotsu closed his eyes as he felt her cool lips on his symbol. Oddly he felt accepted.
Smiling Midoriko pulled back. "May you live a long and fruitful life, my child." Turning to Kagome, she kissed her forehead as well. "May the two of you have many healthy, strong children and a happy life filled with love."
Kagome gasped blushing and smiled. "Thank you."
Midoriko nodded pulling back and faced the group. "Tara, your family is at peace knowing that Naraku is no more."
Tara gasped and nodded. "Thank you, my lady," tears welled up in her eyes.
Jakotsu walked up behind Tara and squeezed her hand trying clumsily to comfort her.
Facing her student she continued, "Kikyo, for your help in training them and for all you have done in the name of duty, the fates have decreed that you will be given back your life."
Kikyo gasped and stared at her former teacher in shock.
Midoriko smiled. "Kaede will remain aged, but you are getting one final chance at the life you have always wished for."
Kikyo couldn't believe it; she was finally going to be with Inuyasha and live life as they should have so long ago. Taking Inuyasha's hand, she said, "Thank you," and bowed to her old master.
Midoriko nodded. "The fates think you have finally learned what is truly important."
Turning to Kagome she instructed, "Bring me the jewel young one."
Smiling Kagome handed the jewel and all its pieces to Midoriko.
Midoriko grinned. "I will remove this from this world for good so it can no longer cause trouble." Fusing the jewel together, she placed it over the hole in her chest and watched as the wound began to close.
Bankotsu blinked and cocked his head to the side. "So you're really my great-great grandmother, eh?"
Midoriko grinned. "Hai, I am."
Bankotsu nodded and blinked. "I'm related to a bad-ass powerful miko?" he frowned, not sure how to feel about that.
Kagome laughed, "You're about to marry one, too." Staring at her husband-to-be and his ancestor it was easy to see the resemblance.
Bankotsu grinned and his eyes filled with pride as he nodded.
Midoriko smiled at the group one last time and faded off again.
Bankotsu sighing turning grim again as his eyes landed on his brother's prone figure. He walked over to his brother's body and strapped Banryu to his broad back. Kneeling down he scooped his fallen brother's body into his arms and began to stand.
Feeling his loss and wishing she could help, Kagome quickly moved over to him, placing her hand on his shoulder.
Taking a deep breath Bankotsu began to silently walk off with Kagome beside him.
The others watched in somber silence from the fallen man's loss.
Jakotsu longed to go after his leader, but was held back by Inuyasha who ordered, "Let them go. Give him time."
Jakotsu nodded and stood beside Tara, who buried her head on his chest. His arms wrapped around her and held her while she cried.
Miroku placing a hand on Sango's shoulder, turned with Sango.
Kohaku yelled happily, "Sister!" and jumped off of Ah-un, landing on his feet and running towards her with open arms.
"Kohaku!" she cried out joyfully hugging him to her chest.
Miroku cleared his throat.
Kohaku pulled back blushing.
Miroku smiled. "It's nice to see you again, Kohaku."
Kohaku nodded. "You too… uh?" at a loss of what the monk's name was.
Sango laughed as she supplied, "Miroku."

Many hours later, Bankotsu spotted the sacred tree and walked under it. Laying down his brother's body, he removed Banryu and set it aside, so that he could begin to dig into the ground with his hunting knife.
Bankotsu had purposefully walked many hours holding his dead brother's body until they had arrived at the sacred tree, wanting his brother to have a decent burial somewhere special to him.
Unsure how to help him, Kagome sat beside him staring silently.
Once the hole was deep and long enough, Bankotsu wordlessly moved to pick up his brother's body and placed him into the crater. Bankotsu's eyes welled up with tears as he began the arduous task of covering his brother's body so no animals or demons would disturb it.
Kagome's own eyes filled with unshed tears as she continued to watch him in silence.
As the last of the dirt was placed onto the mound, he was no longer able to hold back the tears and silently they cascaded down his cheeks. His shoulders heaved with silent sobs.
Unable to bear seeing him in pain any longer, Kagome moved silently wrapping her arms around her brave warrior.
Bankotsu hugged her to him and continued grieving for his loss.
Once the sobs ceased and the tears no longer fell, Bankotsu took a deep cleansing breath and pulled back allowing silence to befall them once more.
Kagome quietly stood and taking his hand in hers led him over to the water.
Bankotsu wordlessly allowed her to drag him away from the grave, curious as to what she was planning.
Kagome stopped at the water's edge and turned toward the man she loved, kissing his jaw wishing to comfort him.
A little surprised by her actions as he felt her hands move to his haori ties, Bankotsu grabbed her hands. "What are you doing, Kags?"
Kagome moved so her body was against his and kissed his jaw again. She whispered, "Shh, no talking," she kissed the corner of his mouth, and then ran her tongue across his lower lip, nipping it seeking permission to enter.
Bankotsu opened his mouth to her and moaned.
Remembering how he had kissed her and wanting to make him forget what was making him sad, Kagome slipped her tongue inside his mouth and began dancing her tongue along his.
Bankotsu's hands released hers, sliding down her body to grab her hips as he began kissing her back.
Using her hands she quickly opened his haori, slipping it from his shoulders as she continued kissing him. Locking their tongues together in a slight battle of dominance,
Bankotsu slipped his hands under her shirt, running his callused pads slowly up her soft back, raking his nails across her skin lightly, heightening her pleasure. Only to be rewarded with a moan from his gorgeous bride.
Pulling away from the kiss Kagome darted her tongue along his chest, savoring the slight salty taste of the sweat that glistened across his chiseled physique. Moving lower she raked her teeth across his nipple.
Bankotsu moaned pulling her closer to him by pushing his hand against her back.
Pulling back Kagome smiled and moved her hands to his hakama.
Bankotsu's eyes flashed wide open as he stopped her wandering hands. He stared deep into her chocolate eyes. "Are you sure that you're ready for this, Kags?"
Kagome nodded, grinning as she answered confidently, "I've never been surer of anything in my life."
Bankotsu smirked before capturing her in his arms and lowering her to his haori that was stretched out on the ground. Moving his hands under her shirt, he lifted the shirt over her head and tossed it over his shoulder to land in a haphazard pile on the ground. Placing one hand on her shoulder, he laid her back as he began suckling her neck.

WARNING! Lemon from here until the end of the chapter!
Shocked by the sensations coursing through her as his tongue danced along her flesh, Kagome moaned and began panting.
Bankotsu's hands moved to her thighs where his fingers began drawing circles on her sensitive inner thighs.
Overwhelmed with a myriad of unfamiliar sensations, Kagome panted moaning.
Bankotsu's strong hand gripped her muscular thigh moving it so that his hips could lie against hers, pressing their still clothed lower bodies close together.
Pulling back to brace himself on his elbows, he stared at her with his brows furrowed. "How do I remove this…?" He lightly fingered her bra strap.
Blushing Kagome pushed against his chest so she could sit up.
He moved with one strong thigh on each side of her hips, straddling her, so that she could sit up.
Smiling she guided his calloused hands to her back and the bra clasp.
Smirking he realized what she was doing and wasted no time in unhooking and removing the strange contraption. Pushing Kagome back down on the ground, he lowered his mouth to capture one of her pert nipples, teasing it mercilessly causing her to moan and wiggle beneath his sensual onslaught.
Stretching out on top of her and moving her thighs to either side of his hips, Bankotsu continued to lavish her nipple before releasing it with a loud pop to nibble her neck. His free hand slipped up to caress and knead her luscious mound, loving the effect he had on her already.
Feeling something build deep inside her, Kagome began mewling and whimpering with need as her fingers slid up to his hair locking his lips to her in a fierce kiss.
Bankotsu kissed her back passionately, moving his fingers inside under her lacy panties.
Kagome moaned into his mouth as her breathing became panting.
Bankotsu slipped his other hand over the waist band of her skirt and removed it and her panties in one swift movement, before breaking the kiss to trail wet kisses along her chest and stomach.
Inhaling deeply and delighting in her obvious arousal, he dipped his head, sliding his tongue along her slit.
Kagome inhaled deeply as her eyes shot wide open and her hips bucked involuntarily.
Groaning at the scant taste of the heavenly honey she produced and pleased with her reaction to his slight ministrations, Bankotsu moaned once more into her opening he felt her shiver. He smirked before slipping his tongue into her sweet depths once more.
Kagome's hips shot up at his intrusion as she gasped in shock.
Bankotsu placed one arm over her hips holding her in place as his tongue began to expertly move inside her longing to taste the sweet cream she would soon give him.
Kagome's head fell back in ecstasy as she felt a wave building up inside her. "Ban," she panted, trying to figure out what was happening.
"Relax Kags," he ordered, before shoving his tongue deeper into her silken lips.
Kagome whimpered as her hands fisted in his raven hair.
Knowing that she was close, Bankotsu stabbed his tongue deeper while lightly raking his teeth across her nub; causing her to scream out his name as her juices flowed like honey over his eager tongue.
Bankotsu lapped up her cream like a hungry cat with milk, making sure not to waste a single drop of her rich nectar. Pulling back he licked his fingers clean and smirked at the look of contentment on her face.
Realizing that one last barrier remained before he was able to claim his beloved bride-to-be, he quickly shucked his hakama and blanketed her body with his.
Panting Kagome marveled at what he had just caused her to feel. She smiled like a Cheshire cat as she pushed on his chest. "Lay back."
Smirking Bankotsu flipped them easily so she was on top and began suckling her breast, causing her to gasp in pleasure and surprise.
After getting her nice and worked up again, he flipped her onto her back and spread her creamy thighs, settling his stiff erection at her entrance. He leaned his head down kissing her fiercely as he slipped into her tight sheath. Coming to the barrier, he pulled back. "This will hurt a little."
Kagome nodded in understanding and clutched his shoulders.
Bankotsu's hips reared back, before thrusting forward seating him fully inside of her.
Kagome's nails dug into his flesh as she hissed in pain. Tears clung to her lashes.
Holding still in order to allow her time to adjust to his enormous size, he began tracing wet kisses along her neck and whispering soothing words.
Kagome's body relaxed and she cautiously bucked her hips.
Taking that as his cue, he began a slow in and out tempo. His face contorted and his brow beaded with sweat showing how much he was straining not to just slam inside her the way he desperately wanted to.
Kagome's whimpers of pain turned to pants and moans of desire and ecstasy before long and he increased the pace of their bodies' dance.
Really losing herself in the erotic dance Kagome began meeting him thrust for thrust.
Her escalating moans were music to his ears as he brought them closer and closer to release.
Clinging to him desperately she begged, "Please Ban…"
He eagerly obliged her pleas by pumping faster, harder and deeper. Feeling her inner walls begging to constrict around him, he slipped one hand down to rub her nub.
Kagome screamed out her release, which he drank in greedily, before tearing his mouth from hers and moaning his own mind shattering release into the crook of her neck; as his hot seed buried deep into her welcoming womb.
As they caught their breaths, Bankotsu moved them to lie on their sides, with his shaft still buried deep inside her. Bankotsu kissed the nape of her neck, whispering, "I love you Kags."
Turning her head to kiss him back, she replied, "I love you too Ban." Yawning she laid in his arms, settling her head on the ground.
Bankotsu moved so he was inhaling her unique scent and they drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
Unknown to the couple lost so deep in each other, a pair of blue eyes had watched as the couple mated beneath the moonlight.
Kouga sighed heavily and sat on a nearby hill. 'She really does love him… even more he really does love her…' His eyes watered and his head dropped to his chest. Silent tears fell down his cheeks. He was heartbroken at the fact that his Kagome didn't return his love.
His lips tilted into a sad smile. 'Lie, she was never really 'my' Kagome in the first place.' He watched the young lovers slip into a peaceful slumber together with a small smile. 'Be happy Kagome, you deserve it.' He stared at the Gorashi on his right hand and sighed. 'I need to return to my pack soon.' He stood up and ran into the forest releasing a long drawn out howl of lowliness into the night.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Meanwhile, with the others:
Jakotsu looked into Tara's eyes. He stroked her cheek tenderly and vowed, "I want you to know Tara, that it's you that I want and need."
Tara sighed and looked away. "Are you certain Jako?" She glared at him. "Make sure, because I won't tolerate you flirting with others. I'll find me someone who would remain true to me." eyes dead serious.
Jakotsu's eyes flashed dangerously and he snapped, "I'd kill any man who tried to touch you!" He stared into her eyes. "I'm positive! I never thought I'd ever be able to stand a woman… but you changed that." His eyes softened. "You made me feel different than any man I've ever been with before."
Tara grinned. "You promise?"
Jakotsu answered her with a soul searing kiss, while gripping her curvaceous backside in a 'Miroku approves' style.
Sango and Miroku were on the other side of the battlefield, deep in discussion about their upcoming nuptials now that Naraku was dead.
Not wanting to waste even one more precious moment, Inuyasha and Kikyo had slipped off unseen and were busy mating under the stars.
XOXOXOXO
Sesshomaru reached Kagura and stated coolly, "This Sesshomaru has decided that you will become his mate." He dipped his head and kissed a very shocked Kagura.
Once she had recovered from her shock, she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned into the kiss, moaning.
Sesshomaru pulled back and ordered huskily, "Come mate, we must return to our castle."

Midoriko's ghost faded in where Naraku once stood. Smiling she greeted the group. "You have done well."
Bankotsu snapped his head to the newcomer and inhaled a shocked breath as his eyes landed on her forehead.
Midoriko smiled. "So you've figured it out, eh?" She smiled at the shocked warrior.
Recovering from his shock Bankotsu demanded, "Why do you wear the same symbol as mine?"

Taking that as his cue, he began a slow in and out tempo. His face contorted and his brow beaded with sweat showing how much he was straining not to just slam inside her the way he desperately wanted to.
Kagome's whimpers of pain turned to pants and moans of desire and ecstasy before long and he increased the pace of their bodies' dance.
Really losing herself in the erotic dance Kagome began meeting him thrust for thrust.
Her escalating moans were music to his ears as he brought them closer and closer to release.
Clinging to him desperately she begged, "Please Ban…"
He eagerly obliged her pleas by pumping faster, harder and deeper. Feeling her inner walls begging to constrict around him, he slipped one hand down to rub her nub.
Kagome screamed out her release, which he drank in greedily, before tearing his mouth from hers and moaning his own mind shattering release into the crook of her neck; as his hot seed buried deep into her welcoming womb.
As they caught their breaths, Bankotsu moved them to lie on their sides, with his shaft still buried deep inside her. Bankotsu kissed the nape of her neck, whispering, "I love you Kags."
Turning her head to kiss him back, she replied, "I love you too Ban." Yawning she laid in his arms, settling her head on the ground.
Bankotsu moved so he was inhaling her unique scent and they drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
Unknown to the couple lost so deep in each other, a pair of blue eyes had watched as the couple mated beneath the moonlight.
Kouga sighed heavily and sat on a nearby hill. 'She really does love him… even more he really does love her…' His eyes watered and his head dropped to his chest. Silent tears fell down his cheeks. He was heartbroken at the fact that his Kagome didn't return his love.
His lips tilted into a sad smile. 'Lie, she was never really 'my' Kagome in the first place.' He watched the young lovers slip into a peaceful slumber together with a small smile. 'Be happy Kagome, you deserve it.' He stared at the Gorashi on his right hand and sighed. 'I need to return to my pack soon.' He stood up and ran into the forest releasing a long drawn out howl of lowliness into the night.

Meanwhile, with the others:
Jakotsu looked into Tara's eyes. He stroked her cheek tenderly and vowed, "I want you to know Tara, that it's you that I want and need."
Tara sighed and looked away. "Are you certain Jako?" She glared at him. "Make sure, because I won't tolerate you flirting with others. I'll find me someone who would remain true to me." eyes dead serious.
Jakotsu's eyes flashed dangerously and he snapped, "I'd kill any man who tried to touch you!" He stared into her eyes. "I'm positive! I never thought I'd ever be able to stand a woman… but you changed that." His eyes softened. "You made me feel different than any man I've ever been with before."
Tara grinned. "You promise?"
Jakotsu answered her with a soul searing kiss, while gripping her curvaceous backside in a 'Miroku approves' style.
Sango and Miroku were on the other side of the battlefield, deep in discussion about their upcoming nuptials now that Naraku was dead.
Not wanting to waste even one more precious moment, Inuyasha and Kikyo had slipped off unseen and were busy mating under the stars.
XOXOXOXO
Sesshomaru reached Kagura and stated coolly, "This Sesshomaru has decided that you will become his mate." He dipped his head and kissed a very shocked Kagura.
Once she had recovered from her shock, she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned into the kiss, moaning.
Sesshomaru pulled back and ordered huskily, "Come mate, we must return to our castle."
XOXOXOXOXO
