I want to say a HUGE thank you to Frog-kun, who has been following this trilogy from the beginning, and helped me decide on Bankotsu and Kitra’s son’s name.

I also want to give a HUGE thanks to Yuti-Chan, who has also followed this trilogy from the beginning, and is probably my biggest fan, since I first started writing two years ago.

And finally thanks so much to everyone who has been enjoying this trilogy and my many other fics! You’re feedback helps me become a better author, so thanks a ton! Without further ado-

Chapter 18:

Two months later: With Bankotsu:

He was nervously pacing outside the caves, as Kitra’s screams filled the air. Jumal placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, reminding, “Lissa’s the best midwife I’ve ever seen Ban. She’s in good hands.” Bankotsu nodded gratefully and resumed his nervous pacing.

Renkotsu reminded, “Little sister is a strong woman, big brother.” Bankotsu smiled nodding to his second in command.

Jakotsu ran out of the cave carrying the placenta in a bucket and began digging a hole in the ground to dump the mess into. Once it was buried, he washed his hands and ran back inside the cave.

Lissa was just cleaning up the little girl and wrapped her in a blanket saying, “You can call them in now Jakotsu.”

Jakotsu smiled and ran outside announcing, “You can come in now,” as he grinned at his anxious leader and the rest who were nearly as anxious.

Bankotsu tore off inside the cave and smiled at the sight of his wife propped against the wall, holding a squirming bundle in her arms.

Jumal whistled and said, “I’ll be dammed, “ as he spotted a second fussy bundle in his sister’s arms.

Kitra passed their son to his father and asked, “What shall we name him Ban?”

Awed, Bankotsu cradled his son to his chest and answered, “Hyokotsu,” as he noticed the fierce grip his son had, holding his finger.

Kitra smiled, “I like that,” she announced happily.

Lissa walked over passing the red haired little girl with piercing blue eyes, to the mother and said, “You have a beautiful daughter too Bankotsu,” smiling at her best friend’s husband.

Bankotsu smirked. “Twins,” he said proudly. Noticing the tiny smirk on his daughter’s face, he announced happily, “Leikokotsu, that’s your name little one,” leaning over to brush a tender kiss across his daughter’s forehead.

Kitra laughed, “Perfect, just like her father,” she said, eyes shining with ultimate happiness and love. She didn’t have her brother anymore, but she did have a wonderful family, and she’d gotten back her friends. She smiled feeling at peace for the first time in a long time.

Renkotsu nervously held his nephew, as Bankotsu took his daughter into his arms. Jakotsu smiled, patiently waiting for his chance to hold the babies again.

Suikotsu, who’d blanched at the sight of Kitra’s water breaking, returned to the caves, with plenty of blankets, and set them next to the small play pen that would substitute as a crib, that Jumal had made.

Kitra smiled, “Suikotsu, thanks for getting the stuff we needed.” acknowledging his presence.

Suikotsu smiled fondly as he raised his metallic claws, saluting his little sister and placed them aside, to hold his niece.

Kitra introduced, “Leikokotsu, meet you other uncle, Suikotsu.”

Suikotsu smiled down with a soft face as he held his feisty nice, who was determined to tug on his hair, thinking how much like her mother she was already.

Lissa smiled, “Okay guys, Kit need her rest and the children need fed. Ju, be a dear and chase the others away for me would you?” Jumal grinned and began chasing the guys from the cave, leaving his sister and the proud new family to be in peace.

The third cave had been cleaned out and set up for Lissa and Jumal. They had moved into the cave the day the others brought them back. All the men had cleared some of the area surrounding the caves and already began constructing a large house for everyone to eventually move into.

The structure was going to be as big as a castle but was in fact a log cabin and was nearing completion. They’d been in the midst of deciding how best to use the caves, once they moved out, when Kitra had grabbed her stomach screaming in pain after her water broke.

Bankotsu watched fascinated as his son began to drink greedily from his mother’s breast, and laughed as their daughter tugged at his hair, drawing his gaze to herself, smirking.

Kitra smiled as her son drank his fill and sighed blissfully. Bankotsu accepted his son after placing his feisty daughter into his wife’s lap, and placing his son on his shoulder as he’d been instructed, burped his don chuckling at the loud burp.

Kitra uncovered her other breast and fed her daughter who immediately latched on to the offered tit and smiled up at her mother. Kitra shook her head stating, “She’s gonna be a heart breaker when she grows up.”

Cradling his son to his chest, Bankotsu sat beside his wife chuckling and added, “Just like her mama.” pride in his eyes and voice, as he sat with his family. Kitra burped their daughter and once the kids were asleep, she asked Bankotsu to place them in their crib so she could rest. Nodding he carefully placed his children in their bed and kissed his wife’s forehead ordering her to rest. She kissed his cheek and nodded, closing her eyes and falling into a well deserved rest.

A few days later:

They men were taking a break from the nearly finished cabin. Bankotsu and Kitra had decided to sit with their friends and family outside, and taken the kids with them. Everyone sat around outside the caves and discussed the encounter with Naraku.

Kitra sighed, “I was tempted, but I know Darius would never have wanted something so dishonorable to take place.

Holding Leikokotsu, Lissa agreed, “He wouldn’t have liked that at all.” a sad smile crossing her face. “As much as I miss him, I know he’d have had a conniption over it.”

Jumal agreed, “That he would have.” as they fondly recalled their childhood friend.

Jakotsu laughed as Hyokotsu tugged at his kimono top, saying, “Little sister, I think a little boy is hungry.” passing the child back to his mother.

Kitra took her son inside the cave and nursed him, then changed his diaper reminding as she handed him the stinky bucket, “Renkotsu, it’s your turn to scrub the diapers.” Everyone laughed as the bald man’s nose scrunched up in disgust as he stomped over to the river and began scrubbing the cloths clean.

Kitra fed her daughter and changed her and the fussing quieted for a while. Bankotsu smiled as his daughter lay in his lap, trying to grab his braid. Jumal held Hyokotsu and smiled fondly, as he was reminded of when his sister had been a toddler.

Elsewhere with the Inutachi:

Kagome whined, “Inuyasha, I’m tired and I’m hungry. You’ve had us up since sunrise and the sun is about to set in another two hours. We need to stop.”

Inuyasha huffed and barked out, “It’s only another two hours Kagome, so suck it up and keep moving!”

Kagome’s face reddened and she sucked in a deep breath, yelling, “Sit boy!”

Inuyasha plummeted into the earth below him and growled low in warning.

Kagome glared into his hole stating adamantly, “Inuyasha, you’re gonna get sat into unconsciousness if you don’t let us stop. I didn’t get to eat this morning and my legs are killing me.”

Miroku added calmly, “Perhaps it would be best to do as she says Inuyasha. We humans need nourishment more often than you do.”

Inuyasha huffed shoving up out of his hole and pouted, “Fine,” crossing his arms across his chest and shoving them into the sleeves of his fire rat haori.

Kagome clapped excitedly and began making camp, while Shippo started gathering stones for the fire pit.

Sango sat down placing Hiraikotsu on the ground beside her. Kirara mewled and jumped into her lap.

Miroku went to gather the water and returned to the camp, to find a small fire going. Kagome pulled out the rice her mother had packed and dumped it into the pot, adding the water after she set it over the fire. Everyone except Inuyasha was grateful for the early break, as they’d all been rushed off without breakfast by the over eager pack leader.

On the other side of the land:

Naraku had finally come across the area where the body was now a skeleton pinned against a tree. Smirking sadistically, he back tracked until he found a grave off to the side.

“This is the place,” he declared as he used his tentacles to burrow deep into the dirt. Finding the skeleton, he placed a jewel shard in the neck area and commanded repeating, “Awaken Darius, awaken. Awaken Darius, awaken!” Making sure to erase the man’s memories, smirking triumphantly as he watched as the bones began glowing and flesh began forming on the bones.

Vibrant reddish brown hair surrounded the head as the naked man sat up. Striking virid eyes, met ruby eyes and he asked, “Who are you?” confused.

Naraku answered, “My name is Naraku, and you Darius, are my soldier, now go forth and rid me of Inuyasha and his comrades.” And began explaining everything the warrior would need to know about the Inutachi. He stood to his feet and instructed, “Now, go forth and destroy my enemies Darius, starting with the one called Inuyasha.”

Ever the dutiful soldier, Darius answered in a flat tone, “As you wish, my master,” bowing respectfully towards the man. He gathered his clothes, and his sword and dressing, set off to carry out his master’s orders.

As he watched the warrior take his leave, Naraku proclaimed, “Now Bankotsu, you will indeed regret your decision.” and began cackling as the night closed around the area, and he disappeared into the mist.

A/N: The children’s names translate to:

Hyokotsu= Hyou= means leopard; panther+ kotsu= bone

Leikokotsu= Leiko= means arrogant+ kotsu= bone
