Disclaimer: I own nothing, but my ideas.
Thanks to jamied1968 for being my beta.
A/N The following is MY version of how things should have gone.
Last Time:
After tugging the rope tight she jumped over landing with her feet on her massive boomerang and jumped up. Miroku was duly impressed.
Sango turned to him yelling, “Here! Catch on to this Miroku,” tossing her rope over to him. Catching the rope he yelled, “Very impressive Sango!” smiling. After helping him over she retrieved her stuff and did the same so they could enter the cave that was up higher.
Now:
With Kagome:
She wiped her tears away thinking,'While he’s gone, I need to leave. I need to get back to Inuyasha and the others.' Looking at her wrists she noticed there was a gap between the braces this time. 'Please let this work,' she thought trying to slip her hands free.
She was shocked when her hands slipped free. Kagome shaking her head to snap herself into action scolded, 'Now’s not the time Kagome, you have to get out of here before he comes back!'
Gathering her courage she prayed, “Please don’t let anyone catch me. Let me make it out of here to safety.” Working her way to the entrance she made a mad dash outside the cave and deep into the woods before back tracking though the water.'That should keep them from following my scent, just in case,' she thought confidentially.
Cautiously she made it to the foot of the mountain. Spotting the red clothed figure she cried out happily, “Inuyasha!”
The hanyou turned around shocked. “Ka... Kagome!? Where’d you come from?”
Kagome flung herself into his arms and cried, “Inuyasha! I was so scared.”
Inuyasha blinked hugging her, then realizing she was wet pushed her off. “What the hell?! Why are you soaked Kagome?”
Kagome exhausted sat down and explained, “I ran away.”
Inuyasha frowned, “He just let you run away?” he asked unconvinced.
Kagome sighed, “No he… left and I snuck off.” Inuyasha’s heart faltered momentarily at the realization she’d made it away from Bankotsu. Kagome began to cry in relief.Inuyasha smelled Kikyo and ran off.
Koga who was still recovering from his battle, walked over and asked, “Why are you crying Kagome?” as he moved closer to her.
Kagome flung herself into his arms. “Oh Koga! I… I just escaped from Bankotsu. I was so scared!” Koga blinking pulled her into his arms and let her cry against his chest.
Inuyasha returned pissed at having missed Kikyo, and growled, “What the hell are you doing touching Kagome you mangy wolf?! Why is she crying?!” he demanded.
Kagome yelled, “Inuyasha, Sit boy!” pushing away from Koga she answered angrily, “He’s trying comfort me after you didn’t,” turning to walk away from Inuyasha she scooped up and cuddled Kirara and Shippo who were still sick.
Koga glared at Inuyasha and scolded, “You should've never let Kagome get kidnapped in the first place!” he snarled.
Inuyasha barked, “I didn’t let anything happen! That bastard took her before anyone knew what happened!”
Kagome tired of their fighting yelled, “Sit boy!” Inuyasha slammed into the dirt again.
Snickering Koga walked over to Kagome and soothed, “Its okay Kagome, I’m here now. You’ll be safe.”
Kagome smiled, “Thank you Koga.” Koga smiled and sat a few feet away from her. She was still wet enough neither of the demons could smell any scents on her.
Inuyasha pulling himself from the crater informed Kagome that Sango and Miroku had gone into the mountain a long time ago and hadn’t come back yet.
With Bankotsu twenty minutes later:
He made his way back into the cave and sighing went to his bed chambers and roared furiously, “What the fuck?! Where the hell is she and how did she get loose?!” as his azure gaze saw not a trace of Kagome. Clenching his fists he growled angrily, “Did she not learn her lesson not to run away from me last time?!”
Storming outside the mountain again he thought,'Damn her! When I find her I’ll make her pay for disobeying me!' cutting down everything in his path as he searched for her for miles from the hidden entrance. “Where could she be?” he asked himself.
With Inuyasha and them:
About an hour later extremely worried Kagome thought, 'I’m getting worried about Sango and Miroku. They haven’t come back yet, and they’ve been gone way too long. I hope they aren’t in any kind of trouble,' as she stood up staring at the mountain.
Inuyasha sighed, “Kagome, you stay here. I’m going up the mountain to see for myself what’s going on.”
Kagome argued, “What are you talking about?! You know you can’t go past that sacred barrier!” glaring at him.
Inuyasha barked, “I’m only half demon! I’m not gonna let any dumb sacred grounds purify me!” he declared.
Kagome scoffed. “That’s crazy Inuyasha. You have no idea what’ll happen if you go in there.”
Inuyasha ordered, “You just stay here and wait until I come back! We don’t have time to stand here arguing about it all day!” Taking a deep breath he yelled out, “Hey you scrawny wolves, you’re there aren’t you?”
Popping up from behind a nearby boulder Hakkaku said, “Oops busted.”
Koga standing up tall scoffed, “Yeah mutt,” turning to face him he demanded, “what do you want?”
Inuyasha started at Koga who was now walking over and ordered, “You stay here and make sure Kagome is safe.”
Koga asked, “Why? What’s going on?”
Kagome informed him in a slight panic, “Miroku and Sango have gone on their own through the barrier at Mt. Hakurei, but they haven’t come out yet.”
Inuyasha added, “It makes sense for me to go, because the sacred grounds won’t be as rough for me as they would for a full fledged demon.”
Koga wrapping his arm around Kagome’s shoulder not caring she was still wet, and pulling her to his side, stared at Inuyasha saying, “Sounds fine by me mutt, good riddance,” as he gave him the loser salutation.
Inuyasha clenching his fists barked, ordering, “Keep your hands off! And don’t talk to her!” before walking off. Turning around he glared directly into Koga’s eyes and warned, “I’m warning you, if anything happens to Kagome, I’ll kill you! Got that?!” before jumping and running off towards the barrier.
Kagome hollered, “Inuyasha!” Koga standing tall beside her, hands on his hips watched Inuyasha leave.
Ginta and Hakkaku talked about Inuyasha. Kagome thought worried for her friend, “Inuyasha, please don’t push yourself too far.”
With Jakotsu:
He walked along the road holding himself in his arms as he sneezed. “Oh man is it cold! I’ve got to find some new clothes somewhere before I freeze,” he said.
As he spotted an army of men horses and a carriage coming toward him he stopped and chuckled, “Ha… ha… ha… Hello wardrobe.” After slicing them all in one flick of his sword he rummaged through the fallen luggage, “Hm. Let’s see.” Holding up a yellow kimono he sighed, “I guess this will have to do.” Surprised to hear his name called out he looked and was greeted with a friendly site.
Bankotsu now a little calmer hollered out, “Hey! I’ve been looking for you.”
Jakotsu cried out happily, “Hey big brother.”
Bankotsu walked over saying, “Let’s go sit somewhere and talk.” Jakotsu nodded and after changing into his new clothes followed his brother.
Sitting next to his brother Bankotsu said, “I got the news from the Saimyosho… So Suikotsu didn’t make it huh?”
Jakotsu sighed, “No, it was a pretty sad ending for him.” Bankotsu looked away. Jakotsu said, “Oh that reminds me! I’ve got something here for you Bankotsu,” as he began rummaging in his clothes. Bankotsu looked over at him surprised.
“This is a memento from Suikotsu,” as he held out the jewel shard to his leader, “A shard of the sacred jewel.”
Bankotsu held up his hand, “Huh?”
Jakotsu said, “Here,” placing it in his hand.
Bankotsu looked at him, “It… It’s for me?” he asked in shock.
Crossing his arms Jakotsu scoffed confused, “What are you talking about? You’re the one who said to hand it over if we got one.”
Bankotsu bowed his head and allow a single tear to fall before looking up with tears in his eyes. “Jakotsu, why you…” placing his arm over the taller man’s shoulder he said happily and grinning, “You’re such a good friend!” pulling the other man so their heads were next to each other. Slapping him on the back he declared happily, “You’re really something Jakotsu, and the only person in the whole world I can really trust! Really weird but loyal.”
A surprised Jakotsu asked, “You really think so?” and they started laughing together with Bankotsu still grinning. Afterwards Bankotsu confessed to Jakotsu about his mixed feelings for Kagome and how pissed and sad he was that she’d run away again.
Jakotsu asked, “What will you do now big brother?”
Bankotsu growled, “Find her and bring her back after I kill that bastard Inutrasha!” standing to lift Banryu onto his shoulder he said, “Let’s get back Jakotsu.”
Bankotsu walking away thought determinedly,'That miko is mine! I’ll find her and make sure that she never runs away again!'
Jakotsu followed his leader thinking, 'That wench will be nothing but trouble… however big brother seems determined to keep her…'
Once they arrived he ordered, “Jakotsu find that mutt and lure him to me, but don’t kill him! You can play a bit, but he’s mine to kill!”
Jakotsu nodded and skipped away thinking, 'I finally get to have some fun with Inuyasha.' Sighing he thought, 'Too bad I can’t kill him though, oh well I can still have some fun and big brother didn’t say I couldn’t take his cute doggie ears.'
Bankotsu made his way to sit upon one of the bigger rocks not too far from the secret cave entrance. Placing Banryu beside the rock he sighed, “Where is she?” he thought sadly,'Have I not been good to her? Why would she run like this?'looking back at everything he’d done to and for her he flinched, “Okay maybe I was a little rough on her.” He admitted to himself a tad regretfully. Scowling he added with clenched fists, “That doesn’t mean she should have run off!” Crossing his arms he sat on the rock and stared off to nowhere feeling sad.
With Inuyasha:
He was being followed by Renkotsu but didn’t know it as he headed deeper into the barrier. Inuyasha thought positively, 'See I’m not being purified! I knew it! I’m gonna make it!' just before he fell to his knees. 'Damn it! Now I can’t move… does that mean it’s too dangerous to go any further?' he thought grunting while on is knees. “What should I do?!”
Renkotsu decided to make his presence know. “Well… well Inuyasha, can’t go any further?” walking up to him with his cannon. Stopping about 6 feet away he smugly taunted, “You look quite weakened by the barrier.”
Inuyasha hissed in disgust, “Renkotsu.”
Renkotsu chuckled, “Ha ha ha, I’m surprised. It’s unlike you to not notice that I was following.”
Inuyasha snarled, “You again huh!” He taunted while getting to his feet, “The Band of Seven must be really short handed.”
Renkotsu amused chuckled, “Heh heh heh, Your mouth is as sharp as ever.” Moving to raise his cannon he said, “One thing’s obvious Inuyasha, you’re in a hurry to get in there, aren’t you?” Taunting, “Problem is if you go any further, even a half demon like yourself will be purified.” Targeting Inuyasha he yelled, “Get going!” and fired directly where Inuyasha was standing.
Growling Inuyasha jumped back thinking,'Oh no!' as he spotted the strongest part of the barrier right behind him. Inuyasha began screaming out in pain as the strongest part of the barrier purified his demon half.
Renkotsu stood watching saying victoriously, “So much for him!” expecting Inuyasha to be killed and was surprised as was Inuyasha to see half demon still breathing but in his human form. Renkotsu gasped, “What the?”
Grunting Inuyasha pushed onto his knees and boasted, “See, I’m still…” only to gasp as he stared at his hands and then to the moon thinking,<i> “My demonic powers are gone, and it’s not even the night of the new moon! Damn it! It’s this barrier’s fault!”</i>
Hearing Renkotsu’s chuckle he faced Renkotsu. Renkotsu taunted, “Well… well, isn’t THIS a surprise. I thought the sacred grounds would purify you, but only your demonic powers have disappeared.” Grinning smugly he continued, “How convenient for you that you’re only a half demon.”
Inuyasha getting to his feet agreed, “Exactly! I’m feeling way better than I was,” as he stared at Renkotsu.
Renkotsu scowled. “You’re never at a loss for words are you? Not that it matters though.” Lifting his cannon he yelled angrily, “You’re nothing but a mortal now!” firing his cannon at Inuyasha again.
Inuyasha ran away toward the mountain avoiding the blast. Lowering his cannon Renkotsu yelled, “Damn it! You wont escape me!” as he started chasing Inuyasha.
Inuyasha still running declared to himself, “I don’t have time to waste with that Renkotsu, I’ve got to keep running ALL the way into the mountain.”
Renkotsu following Inuyasha thought chuckling, “Hahaha, how long do you think you can escape me?” as Inuyasha struggled to climb up Renkotsu yelled, “Gotcha!” and fired again barely missing Inuyasha who rolled down the hill landing hard, slamming his back into another cliff.
Grunting Inuyasha struggled to his knees. Renkotsu topping the hill taunted, “You’ve nowhere to run! I guess this is as far as you go!” taking aim at Inuyasha again.
Moving to his feet Inuyasha growled, “Damn you!” Noticing a crevice behind him Inuyasha thought,'Huh? What’s that?!'
Renkotsu catching Inu in his sights yelled, “Die!” as he shot his cannon again. Inuyasha yelling dove inside the crevice just in time to avoid being hit by the blast.
Renkotsu smirked. “Got him,” he said confidently as he started chuckling and walking down hill to the rubble. Reaching the crater he said, “Huh?! Where’s his body?!” spotting the crevice he walked over to it saying, “He must have slipped though that crack before the blast.”
Jakotsu walked up greeting, “Hey! Over here Renkotsu.”
Renkotsu faced him acknowledging, “Jakotsu.”
Jakotsu still walking over to him asked, “Hey Renkotsu, what are you doing in a place like this?”
Jakotsu informed Renkotsu of Suikotsu’s passing. Renkotsu who had sat down said, “So I guess we’re all that’s left of the band of seven?”
Jakotsu standing said, “Exactly.” Growling he bit his thumb saying, “And that’s the problem.”
Renkotsu looked up asking, “Hm? What do you mean?”
Jakotsu demanded, “How can we possibly be the band of seven, when there’s only three of us left?! We gotta try and come up with a new name!”
Renkotsu said, “Huh?” then holding out his hand asked smiling, “Oh by the way, you don’t know what happed to Suikotsu’s jewel shard, do you?”
Jakotsu answered crossing his hands over his chest, “Oh that? Well I took it and handed it over to Bankotsu of course.”
Renkotsu said, “Yeah?” thinking to himself, 'He doesn’t have a shred of greed in him! Still, its bad news for me, Bankotsu is getting all the jewel shards. Eventually, he’ll want Jakotsu’s shard too… and I can’t let that happen!' Staring at Jakotsu he thought, 'How can I get Jakotsu’s shard without having to cut it out of him myself?'
Jakotsu stood there oblivious to Renkotsu’s thoughts and tried suggesting new names. “What about the three ravens? Or something with parts of our names?”
Renkotsu getting an idea said happily, “Jakotsu, I meant to tell you… something interesting has happened recently.”
Jakotsu snapping out of his ramblings asked, “Hm? Interesting?”
Renkotsu said, “It seems your friend Inuyasha has turned into a mere mortal now and he slipped through this crack right beside me.”
Jakotsu got a dreamy gaze as he said, “Oh my sweet Inuyasha, I’m coming for you,” before slipping through the crack himself.
With Miroku and Sango:
After escaping the demons they ran deeper into the cave.
With Inuyasha:
He was still making his way through the crevice thinking,'This hole is really deep! I wonder if it goes all the way down?' when Jakotsuou came flying through the air behind him. Hearing the blade coming he dodged it thinking, 'Huh?'
Retracting his sword and walking up behind Inuyasha, Jakotsu said, “So Renkotsu was right.” looking pleased he stated, “Is that really you as a mortal? You’re as cute a human as you are a half demon.”
Inuyasha recognizing him spat out, “Jakotsu!” as his eyes narrowed on the undead mercenary.
Jakotsu laughed, “What a pleasant surprise.” Licking his lips as his eyes shined with vicious intent. “I’ve been waiting for the time when I could fight you again, Inuyasha.”
Grabbing his sword Jakotsu declared sadistically, “Now, let the fun begin!”

Jakotsu informed Renkotsu of Suikotsu’s passing. Renkotsu who had sat down said, “So I guess we’re all that’s left of the band of seven?”
Jakotsu standing said, “Exactly.” Growling he bit his thumb saying, “And that’s the problem.”
Renkotsu looked up asking, “Hm? What do you mean?”
Jakotsu demanded, “How can we possibly be the band of seven, when there’s only three of us left?! We gotta try and come up with a new name!”
Renkotsu said, “Huh?” then holding out his hand asked smiling, “Oh by the way, you don’t know what happed to Suikotsu’s jewel shard, do you?”
Jakotsu answered crossing his hands over his chest, “Oh that? Well I took it and handed it over to Bankotsu of course.”
Renkotsu said, “Yeah?” thinking to himself, 'He doesn’t have a shred of greed in him! Still, its bad news for me, Bankotsu is getting all the jewel shards. Eventually, he’ll want Jakotsu’s shard too… and I can’t let that happen!' Staring at Jakotsu he thought, 'How can I get Jakotsu’s shard without having to cut it out of him myself?'
Jakotsu stood there oblivious to Renkotsu’s thoughts and tried suggesting new names. “What about the three ravens? Or something with parts of our names?”
Renkotsu getting an idea said happily, “Jakotsu, I meant to tell you… something interesting has happened recently.”
Jakotsu snapping out of his ramblings asked, “Hm? Interesting?”
Renkotsu said, “It seems your friend Inuyasha has turned into a mere mortal now and he slipped through this crack right beside me.”
Jakotsu got a dreamy gaze as he said, “Oh my sweet Inuyasha, I’m coming for you,” before slipping through the crack himself.
With Miroku and Sango:
After escaping the demons they ran deeper into the cave.
With Inuyasha:
He was still making his way through the crevice thinking,'This hole is really deep! I wonder if it goes all the way down?' when Jakotsuou came flying through the air behind him. Hearing the blade coming he dodged it thinking, 'Huh?'
Retracting his sword and walking up behind Inuyasha, Jakotsu said, “So Renkotsu was right.” looking pleased he stated, “Is that really you as a mortal? You’re as cute a human as you are a half demon.”
Inuyasha recognizing him spat out, “Jakotsu!” as his eyes narrowed on the undead mercenary.
Jakotsu laughed, “What a pleasant surprise.” Licking his lips as his eyes shined with vicious intent. “I’ve been waiting for the time when I could fight you again, Inuyasha.”
Grabbing his sword Jakotsu declared sadistically, “Now, let the fun begin!”
