Chapter12:
Meanwhile Inside the tavern:
Suikotsu, Jakotsu, and Renkotsu, sat down and ordered some food and sake’ the trio sat there eating and drinking and carrying on.
With Bankotsu and Kitra:
After a few hours of rest, Kitra woke up and smiled when she noticed Bankotsu was holding her. Bankotsu smiled charmingly and asked "Are you feeling better now?"
"Yup, now I’m hungry!" Kitra answered, with a big smile.
Bankotsu laughed and said, "Let's go eat then." she nodded, and stood up, replacing her belt and daggers on her hips. They walked out the door, locking it behind them, and walked down to the tavern joining the others.
Back in the tavern:
Bankotsu was sitting with Kitra beside him when Sura sauntered over. Sura's eyes lit up when she noticed Bankotsu and she said excitedly, "Welcome back, bg guy! What'll it be?"
Bankotsu answered evenly, "Two plates of food, some sake’ and some herbal tea."
Sura winked and said, "Coming right up, big man!"
Kitra rolled her eyes. Bankotsu saw this and draped his arm around Kitra, pulling her into his side and said, "No hurry," dismissing her.
Kitra sighed and grumbled, "I should’ve known she’d be here." in a sulky manner.
Bankotsu faced the woman who held his heart. "No need to worry," he assured her. Kitra smiled and leaned into him.
Jakotsu mentioned happily, "So, you two seem happier now!" smiling at the lovebirds, glad to see them getting along again.
"Yeah," Kitra replied, "I just needed some rest, like I said." Everyone nodded. The food and everything arrived and Kitra dug into her food ravenously.
"You're really are hungry, huh?" Bankotsu chuckled and questioned, amused, and with relief shining in his eyes. Kitra nodded and continued eating her food. Bankotsu laughed and dug into his own food.
Renkotsu excused himself and walked outside. Jakotsu and Suikotsu had already eaten, so they sat there talking amongst themselves.
After eating, Bankotsu noticed Kitra looking tired again. He turned to his comrade and mentioned, "Suikotsu, I’m really getting worried her- is it possible she could be sick?" fear entering his eyes.
Suikotsu answered, "I suppose its possible." considering all they’d been through.
Kitra corrected, amused, "I’m still here you know. I’m not sick or getting sick- I’m just tired." confidently.
"But you’ve been so tired lately! The Kitra I knew was always so full of energy. I’m worried about you, Kit!" Bankotsu countered, concerned. The truth of his statement was in his beautiful blue eyes.
"Thanks for your concern, Ban," Kitra smiled and replied, "but I can assure you I’m not sick!"
Bankotsu let out a frustrated sigh and questioned, "Then what is going on?"
Kitra replied, "I need to see a healer first, in order to confirm what I suspect."
"Suikotsu is a doctor, Kit," Bankotsu informed her.
"Ban, I think we should continue this conversation in private, don't you?" Kitra nodded and suggested evenly.
Bankotsu sighed heavily, standing up, and pulled her behind him. They walked out of the tavern and entered their room. He closed the door and led her over to the bed. Staring her dead in the eye, he ordered sternly, "Tell me, Kit, what is happening?" not a bit pleased that she seemed to be keeping something from him.
Kitra sighed, then took a deep breath, held his gaze, and answered, "Most likely I’m pregnant."
Bankotsu's eyes widened. "Pr... pregnant?" he stuttered, completely thunderstruck.
"Yup, being so tired all the time is a sign of pregnancy." Kitra nodded and answered. "As I said, I need to see a healer to confirm it and all, but I’m pretty sure already."
Bankotsu sat down on the bed still in shock.
Kitra explained, "I wanted to confirm it, before saying anything, just in case I wasn't. However, I should’ve had my monthly time already and didn't. That’s why I suspected such in the first place." She walked over to stand directly in front of Bankotsu and asked concerned, "Ban... are you alright?"
"Pr... pregnant!? Kit are you sure?" Bankotsu sighed heavily and said, looking into her hazel eyes.
Kitra held his gaze and answered, "Not completely, but that would definitely explain my tiredness, and the lack of my period. I still need to confirm it, though."
"I’ll go get Suikotsu. Let's see what he thinks." Bankotsu nodded saying evenly, as he stood up and walked over to the door.
As he left, Kitra nodded and sat on the bed, to wait for his return.
In the tavern:
Bankotsu approached the table and whispered, "Suikotsu, we need to speak privately." Suikotsu nodded and stood up to follow Bankotsu up the stairs.
Bankotsu explained Kitra's suspicions and Suikotsu thought it over, and then nodded. He agreed, "That would indeed explain it. She has only been really tired about three weeks now. Let's finish this with her." Bankotsu nodded and they walked into the room.
Back in the room:
Kitra heard them enter and faced them. She asked curiously, "So what do you think, Suk?"
Suikotsu replied, "I’ve a few more questions first. You say you missed your monthly time?" Kitra nodded.
"Other than being tired, and missing your monthly time, has there been anything else?" Suikotsu queried in a businesslike manner.
"Slight dizziness, a little nausea," Kitra answered, "but I only actually vomited when I saw all the blood."
Suikotsu nodded and agreed, "It is very possible indeed. You’d need some tests first, but I’m pretty sure you’re correct. Women usually can tell better than us men can."
Kitra replied, "Thanks," feeling a little better.
Suikotsu nodded and informed his leader, "This means she will need plenty of meat and fruit every day."
Bankotsu nodded. "Thank you Suk, but for now, let's keep this between the three of us, alright? I don't want anyone else knowing for the time being. Understood?" he instructed Suikotsu seriously, staring his doctor friend dead in the eye.
Suikotsu answered, "Yes big brother." He looked at Kitra and instructed her, "No more lifting or carrying anything even slightly heavy for you until we know for certain- got it?" Kitra nodded. Suikotsu excused himself and walked back down to the tavern.
Kitra sat on the bed waiting for Bankotsu to say something. After a few minutes of strained silence, he sighed heavily and sat on the bed beside her. She sighed heavily, afraid to speak, and unsure of what his reaction to this would be.
Bankotsu said sincerely, "I'm sorry, Kitra..."
Kitra felt her heart breaking. "Don't worry about it..." she replied, "I..."
"I wanted us to be married first," Bankotsu continued.
Kitra said thoughtfully, "Well it would’ve been nice, but we have to face the facts."
Bankotsu pulled her into his lap and kissed the top of her head. He announced, "We’ll find a priest to perform the ceremony as soon as we can."
Kitra nodded, relieved. "Okay," she agreed. "Ban, I..."
Bankotsu kissed her cheek. "Don't worry, love," he declared fiercely. "I’ll take care of you and any children we may have!"
Kitra smiled and kissed his cheek, then replied, "I know," heart bursting with love and happiness.
Bankotsu grinned and asked smugly, "So I’m going to be a father, huh?"
Kitra nodded and answering happily, "Yes,"
Bankotsu kissed her forehead and said excitedly, "I'm looking forward to it!"
Kitra sighed, leaning into him, and agreed, "As am I, love!” her fondest dreams were coming true, she only wished her brother and friends had been around to witness their happiness.
Bankotsu stared into the hazel eyes of the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. "I love you, Kit!" he declared seriously. "I know now, that I always have and always will!" allowing his love for her to show clear as day in his striking blue eyes.
Kitra smiled and held the gaze of the man who’d always held her heart even as a kid. "I love you too, Ban-Chan!" she affirmed seriously. "I always did- and I always will!" Bankotsu grinned and kissed her tenderly and she eagerly returned his kiss. After a few minutes, they walked back to the tavern and rejoined the others.
