Chapter 7
Bankotsu's eyes widened and he gasped. He hurried over to the well and looked down in time to see a bright blue light flash then disappear. When it was gone, though, nothing remained at the bottom. Bankotsu's gazed turned anxious and he prayed to the gods that she would reappear. Seconds later, the blue light flashed again, and when it left, Kagome sat crouched at the bottom of the well. Bankotsu sighed with relief as she grinned up at him and began to make her way out. When she neared the top he grabbed her one handed and pulled her up.
Kagome smirked happily. "Are you convinced?" she asked smugly.
Bankotsu gave her an amused glance before reluctantly nodding.
Bankotsu had started to wonder how she was able to pass through. Then he started wondering if he might be able to do it also. Kagome started to answer his unasked question with her next statement.
"Inuyasha and I, and I guess the Centipede Woman, have been the only ones able to pass through. I don't know how Inuyasha can pass through but I can with the jewel shards…" Kagome trailed off and then her thoughtful demeanor was replaced by excitement.
"Oh my gosh, Ban-Ban I just had the most amazing idea!" she exclaimed.
Bankotsu grimaced at the pet name but was curious as to what she was thinking.
"What is it Kags," he said, hoping to goad her, but she seemed unfazed by it.
"Maybe you can come with me tomorrow to the future and meet my family!" she said happily.
Bankotsu gave her a puzzled look, not brought over to her line of thinking yet.
Kagome sighed. "You were resurrected by the jewel shards in your body right?" she asked.
"Right…" he answered slowly, still not seeing where she was going with this.
"Have you not been listening to what I have been saying?" she asked, getting angry.
"Of course I have. You said that you and Inutrasha and that one Centipede Woman were the only ones who could past through," he told her, showing that he had been paying attention.
"And I also said that I can only pass through because of my jewel shards. Now do you see where I'm going with this?" she asked impatiently.
It slowly dawned on him. "So you're saying that I may be able to pass through because of the jewel shards in my body?" he asked her skeptically.
"That's exactly what I'm saying. How about we test my theory right now?" she asked excitedly.
Bankotsu slightly panicked. He had no idea what lie beyond that well.
"You mean you want me to jump in there? Right now? What happens if it doesn't work?" he asked quickly.
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Relax. The worst that can happen is that you won't go through and you'll just land at the bottom still in this time. Besides, I'll go with you," she said cheerily.
Bankotsu sighed before reluctantly agreeing.
"Yay! Come on, let's go!" she said, tugging on his arm to get him on the well's ledge.
Bankotsu slowly climbed up. He looked down and became slightly distressed. He wouldn't have it said that he was afraid of the dark, or heights, but he was afraid of the mystery that lie ahead if he made it through.
Kagome gripped his hand, smiling brightly.
"Okay. Ready? One… Two… Three… Jump!" she shouted.
And he jumped.
