Chap20



With Kate and Drake........



Drake and Kate were sitting together against a tree, fully clothed, looking very cozy and relaxed.

Bankotsu demanded angrily "How COULD you!?"

They broke thier embrace, and both instantly jumped up.

Kate said softly "Bankotsu.."

Bankotsu glared at her and said in a deadly tone "Kate, I warned you not to forget you are MY woman! Now you will BOTH pay!"

Kate gaspe and said softly "NO! Ban, you don't understand....!"

Bankotsu cut her off and seethed "You will BOTH pay for your betrayal Kate!"

Kate started "Ban! Just let me explain! Please!"

Bankotsu laughed bitterly and said "There is nothing to explain! I saw you two with my own eyes!"

Kate demanded angrily "You were spying on me?!"

Drake started to move in front of Kate protectivly and stated in a deadly tone "You will keep your hands off my wife!"

Bankotsu became furious and demanded in a deceptivly calm voice "Get the hell away from from HIM right NOW Kate! Or so help me I will rip you BOTH limb from limb!"

Kate slowly started to walk to stand between Drake and Bankotsu.

Drake grabbed her hand, held her in place, looked at her and thought worriedly "Don't do it Kate! NO ONE can reason with him anymore! Please.."

Kate looked at Drake, squeezed his hand reassuringly and thought seriously "I know! But this is something I NEED to do Drake! Please try to understand! I have to make him realize once and for all I am NOT his!"

Drake sighed heavily and noded.

Then thought "You had better be careful Kate! AND I AM NOT LEAVING! So DON'T even think about asking me to!"

Kate noded, and Drake reluctantly freed her hand.

Kate walked over slowly towards Bankotsu.

Kate started to say " Ban, It's not what you think! We...." with her hands in front of her loosesly held out, trying to calm him down.

Bankotsu was standing with his arms angrily crossed in front of his chest and his feet were braced firmly apart.

Bankotsu glared at her and seethed "You won't even KISS me! Yet you are SCREWING him!?!"

Kate gasped loudly at his audacity.

Bankotsu pointed a finger furiously in Drake's direction.

Drake narrowed his eyes at Bankotsu and warned angrily "Watch yourself Bankotsu...!"

Kate said soothingly "If you just...."

Bankotsu cut her off and bitterly demanded "Just how long have you two been fucking each other anyways!?!"

Kate gasped again at his audacity and with her hands on her hips angrily demanded "Excuse me!?"

Bankotsu glared at Kate and demanded angrily "HOW LONG have you two been FUCKING each other!?!"

Kate rolled her eys and replied dryly "Smooth as always, Ban!"

Bankotsu warned furiously shaking one finger at her "JUST ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION KAITLIN! RIGHT NOW!"

Kate sighed heavily and said evenly "Since we got married!"

Bankotsu's eyes widdened and he screamed "WHAT!?! You married that bastard!?"

Kate narrowed her eyes at Bankotsu and warned in a deceptively calm voice "I would STRONGLY suggest you watch your tone Bankotsu! As well as how you refer to my HUSBAND!"

Bankotsu glared at them both.

Drake glared at Bankotsu, not trusting him.

Then Bankotsu demanded angrily "You married him!?"

Kate noded.

Then Bankotsu asked evenly "And exactly how long ago was that!?"

Kate replied cooly "A little over a year now."

Bankotsu mumbled dumbfounded "So thats why you haven't been around here for so long?"

Kate shook her head and said softly "We have been around! Just not anywhere you and Naraku could find us!"

Bankotsu glared at them both then said pleadingly, and angrily "How could you Kaitlin! How could you marry another man! And HIM of all people!?"

He pointed an accusing finger at Drake.

Then Bankotsu demanded sadly "How could you do that to me!? I thought you loved me!?"

Kate replied evenly "I haven't for a LONG time now!"

Bankotsu seethed "Yeah and now I know why! You left me to be with HIM!?!"

Bankotsu again pointed a finger furiously at Drake and glared at him.

Drake glared back, with his arms crossed in front of his chest and his feet spread apart.

Drake was ready for battle or to protect Kate at any givin moment, and she knew it.

Kate shook her head sadly and said sadly "That is NOT true Bankotsu! I told you last time, that I had moved on with my life!"

Bankotsu moved, angrily turning towards Kate fully and accused "You DIDN"T tell me you had gotten MARRIED!"

Kate replied evenly "Back then we hadn't! We weren't even dating back then!"

Bankotsu soffed angrily "Yeah right!"

Kate sighed and said evenly "I told you I had moved on with my life! I told you I didn't want you in my life anymore!"

Bankotsu laughed bitterly and seethed "And we both know why now, don't we Kaitin!"

Kate shook her head sadly, sighed heavily, and crossed her arms in front of her angrily, standing just like Drake, and glared at Bankotsu angrily.

Then she said angrily "I told you! You just DIDN"T want to believe me! You didn't WANT to beleive that 'Little Katie' could actually get on with her life, without YOU in it!"

Bankotsu balled his hands into fists and warned in a dealy tone "Do NOT mock me Kaitlin! Or so help me...!"

Kate cut him off and said angrily "I am NOT mocking you Bankotsu! YOU convinced yourself that 'Little Katie' couldn't possibly move on without you! YOU convinced yourself all this time that I was still yours, even tho I TOLD you MANY times that I wasn't! Well guess what!? 'Little Katie' ISN"T so damn little anymore and she HAS moved on!"

Bankotsu stated bitterly "Yeah I can see that! You moved on with HIM! In fact, I bet you moved on with him RIGHT after leaving me 4 YEARS ago!"

Kate said furiously "NO Ban! I did NOT! I wanted to DIE after what you did to me! I would HAVE too, If it hadn't been for Drake! I stopped eating and just cried ALL the time! I didn't CARE anymore! I was absolutley HEARTBROKEN! All over YOU and what you did!"

She took a deep breath and continued "He was there for me! Just like he ALWAYS has been! He took care of me the way ANY truefriend would have! He showed me I still had pleantly to live for!"

Then she looked Bankotsu directly in the eyes and continued seriously "And untill a little over a year ago Drake remained my ONLY true FRIEND! It wasn't even untill AFTER I told you I had moved on that we even started to admit our feelings for one another! Let alone dating or marriage!"

Then she looked at Drake, smiled, her eyes lit up and she said "He taught me ALOT of things Ban! But most importantly he stood by me! Thru EVERYTHING! No matter what! He stood by me the way ANY TRUEFRIEND would have!"

Bankotsu whined "I thought you loved ME Kate!?"

Kate looked at him and said coldly "It is impossible to love someone who rapes, beats, bullies, and belittles you, All just to make hisself feel better! THAT IS NOT LOVE BANKOTSU!"

Then she looked away sadly.

Bankotsu whined "But I loved you Kate...."

Kate laughed bitterly and said sadly "NO you didn't! You loved controlling me! You loved hurting me! You loved owning me! Which by the way I am NOT some damned POSSESION! I am a HUMAN being!"

She addeds angrily "All you have EVER said since you found that damned Banryuu is "You ARE mine!" and "You BELONG to me!" THAT is NOT love! It's possesion! AND Obssession! NOT LOVE!"

Then she continued bitterly "NOT ONCE since you found that damn sword have you EVER said 'Kate I love you.' NO ONCE! That is NOT love Bankotsu! And IT NEVER was! Nor will it ever be!"

Then she moved to walk away and Bankotsu grabbed her elbow angrily and yanked her back to him.

Drake growled a warning.

Bankotsu looked Kate in the eyes and said softly, and pleadingly "I love you Katie...!"

Kate looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said softly and seriously "It's to late Ban! Face it, I have moved on with my life! Now you need to do the same!"

His fingers loosened in shock and she broke his hold and walked away.

Drake ran up to her and asked softly "You ok love?"

She sighed heavily and said "Yeah, I will be."

Then she added sadly "I just hope he finally moves on this time!"

Then she burried her head in his chest, and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Drake wrapped his arms around her protectivly, pulled her into him, and they walked away.

Bankotsu watched them in disbelief, with silent tears running down his cheeks.

Then Bankotsu just stood there stunned and whispered to hisself "WHY!? Where did I go wrong?"

Then he stood there crying to hisself a for a bit.

Then he pulled hisself together.

Then he stormed back to Naraku's fortress absolutely furious.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


A day later.....


At Naraku's castle....


With Bankotsu......


He was laying on his back in his bed with his chest completely bare, and feeling completely misserable.

He muttered to hisself sadly "How could you Kate? I DID love you! I loved you and you broke my heart! Now I have NOTHING left! Not you and not my Banryuu!"

He grew angrier by the second thinking about his companion, and the fact that Drake stole BOTH of the things most precious in the world to him! His Banryuu and Kate!

He sighed heavily and finally resigned himself to the fact that Kate didnn't love him anymore, and never would again.

Then he said in a deadly voice full of determination "Well, if I can't have you anymore my sweet Kaitlin, I WILL at least have my companion back!"

Then he jumped up and pulled his top back on.

He grinned wickedly to hisself and added "And I know just how to get it, and make you both pay, all at the same time!"

He said determindly "Even if it's the last thing I do, I WILL get my Banryuu back! AND make you both pay!"

Then he chuckled to hisself while planning exactly how to go get both his Banryuu AND his revenge.

That he laughed wickedly and said to hisself "AH yes. This will certainly be sweet!"

Then he left his chambers, grining to hisself, and began putting his plan into motion.

With Inuyasha and co....

Drake and Kate returned to camp.

Kagome noticed Kate was looking a little bummed and asked softly "What's wrong Katie?"

Kate sighed and said dryly "Well with any luck, Bankotsu won't be bothering us anymore!"

Drake added seriously "Don't count on it love!"

Kate said sadly "I know, I might have just finally pushed him over the edge. We must ALL be on our gaurds against him!"

Drake said evenly "We just saw him lastnight, and Kate FINALLY told him off once and for all!"

Kate added softly "AND We told him about our marriage. He didn't exactly give us a choice either since he confronted us AFTER spying on me and watching Drake and I bathing together in the hotspring."

Kagome blushed beat red.

Miroku had a perverted grin on his face.

Drake scowled at Miroku, who quickly looked away.

Sango blushed.

Inuyasha looked away.

Drake added dryly "Needless to say he was NOT happy about it one bit!"

The others all noded.

Kate added angrily "TOUGH! He has had it coming for a LONG time now!"

Drake noded and said seriously "Yes he has!"

Inuyasha asked "So what now?"

Kate shrugged.

Miroku said "I guess we wait and see."

Drake noded.

Kate sighed heavily.

Sango lightly squeezed her hand and added "That is all we can do at this point."

Kagome noded and asked "Are you gonna be okay Kate?"

Kate smiled and said "I will be just fine."

Then she added sadly "It's Bankotsu, I am not so sure about."

Drake smiled at her and said dryly "You are truely amazing love! Even after ALL he has done to you and put you thru, you are still worried about him!"

Kate smiled sadly and said softly "That's just the way I am."

Drake threw his head back and laughed, then said seriously "I know love! It is part of why I fell in love with you!"

Then he embraced her and she leaned into him, feeling his streangth and love envelope her.

Miroku added seriously "Not many people have a heart as kind and big and forgiving as yours Kate."

Kate smiled, looked at Kagome and said seriously "It must run in the family!"

Kagome smiled and noded.

Sango laughed and added seriously "It certainly must!"

Inuyasha smiled and added proudly "Of all the people I have EVER met, only you and Kagome have hearts that big and forgiving! It truely amazes me!"

Kate smiled and noded.

Kagome blushed.

Then Sango added in awe "Maybe that is why you seem to have won over everyone easily, and quickly enough. Including Sesshomaru!"

Then Miroku added "And Koga!"

Inuyasha added seriously "No one has ever been able to win over Sesshomaru! Yet you did it in less than a full year! I am truely impressed!"

Kate blushed.

Everyone laughed and agreed.

Then they all decide to pack up camp and set out.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


6 months later........


"Uncle Drake! Uncle Drake!" Yelled Rin excitedly.

As she ran towards him.

Drake fell to his knees and gladly opened his arms to catch his excited niece.

She threw herself into his arms and they laughed.

Kate watched this and just grinned.

Then she approached Sesshomaru, who was following Rin but at a more dignifide pace.

Kate smiled at him and Sesshomaru carefully picked her up in a tender hug, carefully avoiding her stomach.

Kate laughed.

Sesshomaru grinned.

Then he gently set her down and asked "How have you been lately?"

Kate smiled, lovingly pat her stomach and replied "Just fine, and yourself?"

Sesshomaru said in his cool voice "We have been fine as well."

Then he turned to Drake, who was currently spinning his niece in the air in his arms above his head, and she was sqeauling happily.

Drake gently set Rin on the her feet.

Rin then took a minute to re-balance herself, then she ran towards her Aunt Kate's open arms.

Drake stood in front of Kate and said evenly "Careful there sweet Rin! We gotta be real careful of Aunt Kate's tummy ok."

Rin noded then looked confused and asked "But why?"

Drake grinned and said "Well, we don't want to hurt the baby! That's why."

Then he smiled at the shocked look on his neice's face.

Rin gasped, then looked at her Aunt and asked "Is it true Aunt Kate? Are you gonna have a baby?"

Kate grinned, noded, and said "I am just starting to show now, that's why my tummy is still so small.

Rin grinned and asked excitedly "A real baby!?"

Kate smiled and noded.

Rin started happily singing "A baby, a real baby!"

Kate laughed and shook her head.

Sesshomaru said evenly "Drake, we have business to attend."

Drake noded.

Kate gladly hugged her neice and said softly "Hello, sweet Rin."

Rin giggled, then said "Hello, Aunt Kate."

Kate smiled and they held hands.

Drake walked over to his wife, kissed her and said "We will be back shortly."

Kate noded and said seriously "Becareful! BOTH of you!"

They both noded.

Kate and Drake both told each other they loved them and then the two men went off to attend bussiness.

Kate looked at Rin and smiled.

Rin smiled, then tugged Kate hand and they set off to see Kagome and the others.

Rin lit up when she saw Kagome and ran excitedly into Kagome's arms.

Inuyasha stepped out, saw Kate, smiled, then he calmly walked over to Kate and picked her up in a bear hug carefully avoiding her stomach.

Kate laughed and said happily "I missed you too Yash!"

Inuyasha grinned then set her down gently on her feet.

Kate smiled.

Inuyasha then looked over towards his Kagome and noticed Kagome was holding a smiling Rin.

Inuyasha said seriously "So I take it this means he is around huh?"

Kate smiled and said "Yeah, they just left to attend some business.

Inuyasha noded and asked "Did they say when they would be back?"

Kate shrugged and said "All Drake said was 'shortly'."

Inuyasha smiled and said "Sounds about right."

Kate noded.

Then they went over and join Rin, and Kagome.

Shippo came running up as soon as he saw Rin.

Shippo said "Hi Kate! Can Rin and I go play a bit?"

Kate said "Hey Ship! Yeah you can play BUT you have to stay where we can keep an eye on ya ok! As much and Sesshomaru trusts me, he would kill me if anything happened to her! And Bankotsu and Naraku are still both out there! So we need to becareful ok."

Shippo noded and said "Don't worry Kate! I understand."

Kate noded.

Shippo grabbed Rin's hand, tugged and said "Come on Rin! Let's go play awhile!"

Rin looked at Kate and Kate smiled and said "Go ahead, just remember what I said."

Inuyasha added "Kate's right you two. Stay close!"

The kids noded and ran off to play.

Kate sighed and said "I wish we didn't have to be so careful all the time!"

Kagome added "Me too! But better safe then sorry!"

They all three noded.

Then Kate asked "So how have Sango and Miroku been?"

Kagome smiled and said "Same as always."

Inuyasha added "She is currently chasing him with her Hiraikotsu again!"

The three laughed and Kate asked "What did he do this time?"

Inuyasha laughed and said "He spied on her bathing again."

Kate rolled her eyes, and shook her head.

Then they all three laughed again.

Kate smiled and they all walked off to the kids.

Kate said "I have an idea! How would you like it if we ALL go to the river? You kids could play on the land or in the water, I could still watch you and swim all at the same time."

They kids chorused "YAY!"

Kagome added "Sounds good to me!"

Inuyasha shrugged.

Kagome yelled "HEY SANGO! We are gonna take the kids to the river, wanna come?"

Sango stopped chasing Miroku and said "Sure! Let's go!"

Miroku tried to catch his breath and then started to follow Inuyasha.

Then they all changed into shorts and the girls into t-shirts as well, then they walked to the river, well the kids ran to it.

Kate still had her belt and daggers on under her t-shirt as they walked to the river.

They all left thier weapons on the riverbank but close enough to reach at a moments notice.

The adults played with the kids and everyone dunked everyone else.

They all laughed and played.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


After a few hours......


Inuyasha said seriously "Okay enough fun for one day! Lets get going guys."

The adults all noded and the kids grumbled.

They all got out and reclaimed thier weapons.

The kids ran ahead but stayed in sight of the adults.

They all went back to Kaedee's villiage.

Then Kate and Rin walked back to Kate, and Drake's hut.

Inuyasha and Kagome had accompanied them because it was getting dark and Drake AND Sesshomaru would have had a fit if they found out Inuyasha allowed the girls to leave close to dark unescorted.

They reached Kate's hut and Kate invited Inuyasha and Kgome in but they politely refusd, wanting to get back home before dark.

Inuyasha and Kagome walked home to Kaedee's hut.

Kate and Rin went inside Kate's hut.

Rin helped Kate make dinner and they sat and ate.

After they finished eating Kate sat down, pulled a book of fairytails out of her bag and read to Rin.

Halfway thru the story, Drake and Sesshomaru returned.

Rin jumped up and greeted Sesshomaru.

Kate asked "How did it go?"

Sesshomaru replied "All is well! The disspute is now settled."

Drake and Kate hugged and kissed each other.

Drake then heated some food for the men but Sesshomaru politely refused and said "Thank you for watching Rin."

Kate smiled and said "It was my pleasure!"

The Rin said excitedly "We went to see Aunt Kagome and Uncle Inu and Sango and Miroku and Shippo too."

Sesshomaru raised one eyebrow.

Kate smiled and said "We went to visit Kagome and Yash, but the others where there as well. Then we decided to take the kids swimming for a while."

Sesshomaru noded.

Drake smiled and said "Kate love, you never cease to amaze me."

Kate smiled.

Sesshomaru announced "Rin it is time to leave."

Rin noded.

Kate promised to finish the story next time.

Rins noded.

Then Sesshomaru and Rin left holding hands.

Drak growled, picked up Kate bride style, and carried her to thier room, Kate giggled all the way.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Some time later With Naraku.....


After having had zero sucess in the last six months, Bankotsu decided to inlist the aid of Naraku.

"Naraku, I need you to locate That brat Rin." said Bankotsu evenly.

Naraku demanded "And just why would I do that?"

Bankotsu said evenly "Because I have devised a plan to get Kate AND my Banryuu back again and I need the kid for it to work."

Naraku said "Banryuu eh? That huge halberd your ancestor used?"

Bankotsu noded.

Bankotsu said "That's the one."

Naraku noded.

Naraku said "Okay, And I will give you 2 shards to assist you."

Bankotsu grinned wickedly and noded.

Naraku yelled "Kanna!"

Kanna stepped forward, and showed the mirror.

A picture came in of Sesshomaru and Rin walking together.

Bankotsu said "I will need to know as soon as the brat is off alone again."

Naraku noded.

Bankotsu noded, then took his leave.
