Chap21
4 and 1/2 months later........
Outside the hut..........
Drake was pacing back and forth whishing he could help Kate.
Inuyasha assured "Calm down Drake they will be just fine."
Drake replied dryly "I will remember that when your turn comes, bro."
Then he went back to pacing.
Miroku smiled and said "You have a good strong woman, no need to worry about this!"
Drake replied dryly "Wait untill it's Sango in there. Then you will see eh."
Then Drake smiled and said "I know, you're both right! But I can't help it."
Then Drake sighed heavily and sat down.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Inside the hut......
Kate was inside Kaedee's hut in labor and had been for the last few hours.
Kaedee's said "Okay child, now next time a contraction hits, go ahead and push!"
Kate noded her head.
Sango was holding Kate's hand and said "You're doing great Kate, just a little longer!"
Kagome was using a wash cloth to wipe away the sweat from Kate's brow.
Another contraction hit and Kaedee said "Push!
Kate pushed and the baby moved towards the channel.
Then Kaedee said "Ok stop."
Kate stopped pushing and panted.
Another contraction hit and Kaedee yelled "Push!"
Kate pushed as hard as she could and the baby finally emerged.
Kaedee immediately cut the chord and set about cleaning the baby, then set him on Kate's tummy and cleaned Kate.
Sango looked at Kate and said in awe "Kate! Look he is so beautiful!"
Kate smiled proudly and said "Yeah he is!"
Kagome helped Kaedee with the clean up.
Then Kaedee lifted the baby into Kate's arms and went to call the guys in.
Drake strolled over to his wife's side and said in awe "You did real good love! Look at him he is so tiny."
Kate said "Thanks, here daddy why don't you hold our son!"
Drake's eyes watered as he held his son for the first time.
Kagome and Sango were both on the other side.
Drake held his son a good ten minutes.
Drake said "Here Kag, you can hold him now. I wanna hug my wife!"
He handed the baby to Kagome, hugged Kate and said proudly "You love of my life are truely wonderful!"
Kagome held the baby and said in awe "Aww, He's so cute!"
Kate smiled and hugged her husband back.
Then after a few minutes Kagome placed the baby in Kate's arms.
Kate looked at Sango and asked "Here wanna hold him?"
Sango noded and gladly held the child a few minutes.
Then Drake gently took the baby, stood in front of Inuyasha and said "Here Yash."
Inuyasha's eyes widdened and he said softly "I am afraid I will hurt the little guy."
But Inuyasha held out his arms and Drake placed the child in his arms.
Inuyasha held him gently, grinned, and said in awe "Wow! I'm holding him!"
Kate smiled, Drake went to stand by his wife's side and held her hand.
After a few minutes Inuyasha handed the baby back to Kate.
Kate gladly accepted her baby into her arms.
A few minutes later Drake heard his niece's voice and then Rin walked thru the door holding Sesshomaru's hand.
Drake reached for the baby, then carried the baby over to Sesshomaru.
Drake held the baby out to Sesshomaru and said softly "Here, hold your nephew."
Sesshomaru's eyes widdened and he accepted the baby.
Drake took Rin's hand and lead her over to Kate.
After a few minutes Sesshomaru handed the baby back to Drake.
Rin asked "Can I hold him? Please."
Drake said softly but firmly "Okay, but you have to sit down and stay still okay."
Rin noded and sat down.
Kagome sat behind Rin and helped her hold the baby.
Rin grinned and said proudly "Look! I'm doing it! I'm holding the baby!"
Drake noded and said softly "You sure are!"
Then after a few minutes Drake picked the baby up and carried him over to Kate.
Kate asked "What are we gonna name him?"
Drake smiled and said softly "How about Rayden?"
Kate smiled and said softly "Rayden, hm? I like it!"
Drake noded and said "Rayden, it is then!"
Then Kaedee came in and chased everyone out, explaining Kate and Rayden needed to rest and eat.
After everyone else left, Kate nursedRayden and then they slept contently.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
4 1/2 months later....
Kate had Rayden in a sling on her chest and stomach.
Kate and Rin wre just outside the villiage, in the forrest alone gathering herbs around the sacred tree.
Sesshomaru had left Rin with Kate so he could go locate Naraku without worrying over Rin's safety.
Drake was back in Kagome's time as were Kagome and Inuyasha.
Drake was taking care of business than needed tending.
Kagome and Inuyasha were buying supplies and such.
Kate was wearing her body hugging and curve enhancing kimono top and bottoms, underneath was her belt and daggers.
Sango and Miroku were at Sango's villiage repairing her Hiraikotsu again.
Ahun was with Kate and Rin.
Kate sensed Bankotsu approaching.
Kate's eyes widdened.
Kate ran infront of Rin, and told her to get on Ahun.
Rin mounted Ahun and Kate put the baby's sling on Rin.
Kate said very sternly "Rin listen very carefuly to me! Bankotsu is close by! Now, take the baby and go to the villiage and wait for Kagome and the others to get back! Tell Uncle Inu and Uncle Drake what happened!" DO NOT try to come back for ANY reason! Make sure you and the baby stay safe! DO NOT worry about me, I will be fine!"
Rin noded and held onto Ahun's reigns.
Kate demanded firmly "Now GO!"
Then Kate slapped Ahun on the rump and sent them off.
Kate watched and sighed a breath of relief as she saw Ahun take the children safely away.
Then Kate turned around and faced the direction she sensed Bankotsu coming from and said aloud "I know you are there Bankotsu! Stop hiding and show yourself!"
Bankotsu came out of the trees and said amused "Well well, so you are here all alone eh Kate? Where is that husband of yours anyways?"
Kate said evenly "He is not here. I am the one you want so leave the others alone!"
Bankotsu chuckled amused and said "Don't worry, I am not interested in those brats."
Bankotsu leered at her, looked her up and down, and feasted on her with his eyes.
Bankotsu said lustfully "My, my, look at you! You look simply devine!"
Kate crossed her arms in front of her chest and demanded evenly "Why are you here Ban!? What do you want?"
He grinned and said huskily "Why you of course sweetheart!"
Kate stated evenly "If you want me so damn bad then come get me!"
Bankotsu laughed and said amused "Oh I will babe! And When I do, I will hold you for ransom!"
Then he said seriously "I wish to make a trade with that husband of yours! You for my Banryuu!"
Kate glared at him and said angrily "If you think you can take me Ban, then try it! But I warn you, I am not the defensless little girl you once knew!"
Bankotsu laughed and said huskily "Oh I can see that babe!"
Then he sobered up and said "And I WILL get you!"
Then Kate assumed a battle stance and demanded evenly "Well come at me then!"
Bankotsu grinned and assumed his own battle stance.
Then they slowly began to circle each other.
Kate watched him closely for any sign of his intentions.
Bankotsu just kept them circling around each other and smirked.
Kate taunted sweetly "What's the matter Ban, afraid to take on a woman who will actually fight back for once! Hm?"
Bankotsu glared at her.
Kate smirked.
Bankotsu lunged for her and they went down on the ground.
Kate flipped him over her head with her leg streangth then rolled away and jumped back up.
Bankotsu got up, dusted himself off and said dryly "Oooh, nice move Kate."
Kate smirked and said sweetly "Pleanty more where that one came from!"
Bankotsu grinned and said amusedly "I have a better idea for the next time we are on the ground together."
Then he winked at her, she shook her head and replied dryly "Don't you EVER think about anything else?"
He grinned and said seriously "That, you and my Banryuu."
Kate sighed and said in a bored voice "Come on Bankotsu, either get you cowardly little ass over here and fight or leave and stop wasting my time already!"
Bankotsu glared at her and rushed to her.
She jumped out of the way and swept his feet out from under him, then jumped back up and faced him.
He quickly recovered and jumped to his feet, then threw a punch.
She ducked the punch, and swept his feet again.
He jumped back up and started throwing jabs at her.
She blocked the jabs, then jumped in the air and hit him with a roundhouse kick, kicking him square in his chest.
He grunted in pain, then recovered and swept her legs out from under her, she jumped to avoid the sweep.
When she landed he came up behind her and put her in a full nelson hold.
He smirked and taunted "What are ya gonna do now Katie babe?"
Kate whispered "This!"
Then she used a move, yanking her arms down and freeing them, realeasing her body towards the ground and at the same time her back hits the ground she brings her leg up, using her knee to hit his groin hard and slamming her leg into his stomach simutaneously, then quickly rolled away and got back up.
Bankotsu held his balls and said angrily "Damnit! You are gonna pay for that one Kate! Mark my words!"
Then he lunged at her and she jumped out of the way.
He jumped at her again and nailed her this time knocking her to the ground and pinning her with his hands on her neck in a choke hold, but he forgot to pin her legs and she slipped her hip out, threw her leg over his head and flipped him so his arm was braced across her thigh and her leg was across his windpipe, he flexed his hand causing her to loose her grip.
Then he drove his elbow into her ribs, forcing her to release her hold on his windpipe.
Kate gasped painfully but quickly released her hold and rolled away.
Bankotsu also rolled away gasping for air and they both got back up.
She was holding her side and he was holding his neck.
Then he became angry and tackled her, knocking the breath out of her.
She rolled so she was on top of him, he braced his arms behind her back and squeezed and rolled her under him.
Then he pinned her hands to her sides and was sitting over her.
She bucked him up and reversed the pin.
She braced her thighs tightly against his legs, and wrapped her feet along the insides of his legs, effectivly rendering his legs moitionless.
Then he used his upperbody streagnth and rolled them on thier sides and they both broke away.
As Kate came up, she had one of her daggers in her hand and yelled "Come on!"
Bnakotsu slammed into her again, slamming her back into a tree, captured the hand with the dagger and said amused "Tsk! Tsk! Kate, It isn't safe for little girls to play with knives!"
Then he painfully slammed her wrist into the tree, so the dagger flew out of her hand.
Holding her arm stretched out at her side, and using his body to pin hers to the tree, he used his free hand to wrap around her throat and began choking her.
She began to struggle against his hold, gasping for air and he said evenly "You don't stand a chance against me Kaitlin! I am much stronger then you are! So just give it up!"
He squeezed just a little tighter, as a warning and she immediately lessened her struggles.
He smiled, noded, and said "There now, that's better!"
Kate was unable to get a breath and her eyes widdened in fear.
Bankotsu released his hold on her throat and arm, and she dropped to the ground desperatly gaspsing for some much needed air.
Bankotsu then grabbed her arm and yanked her up painfully and said sarcastically "Now come along Kate and be a good little girl!"
She was still gasping for air and stumbled along behind him.
He dragged her over to his horse, reached into the saddle bag, pulled out a rope and tied her hands behind her back.
Then he chopped her in the back of the neck, rendering her unconcious, hefted her onto the horse, mounted up behind her and wrapped his arm around her waist, leaning her into his chest to support her.
Then he turned the horse around and left.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Back at Kaedee's villiage.....
Rin and Ahun arrived at the villiage and landed in front of Kaedee's hut.
Shippo ran outside and yelled "RIN! What happened!?"
Rin cried really hard.
Kaedee came outside.
Kaedee gently lifted the baby so Rin could get down.
Rin got down still crying and said "Where are the others? Are they back yet!?"
Kaedee shook her head and said sadly "Nay child, they have not returned yet."
Rin cried harder and Shippo asked "Rin What happened!?"
Rin cried "Aunt Kate put me on Ahun and told me to get the baby to safety."
Shippo asked "What about Kate!?"
Rin cried harder and said "She stayed behind to fight him so we could get away safely!"
"Who child?" asked Keadee.
Rin sobbed out "That bad man who always hurts her!"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2 hours later at the well......
Shippo was waiting by the well when Inuyasha, Kagome and Drake popped out.
Shippo ran up to Kagome and said "KAGOME! Kate's gone!"
Drake screamed "WHAT!?"
Shippo started crying and Drake rushsed to His and Kate's hut.
By the time Inuyasha and Kagome reached the hut, Drake had frantically searched it and all around the outside.
Kagome asked calmly "Shippo what happened?"
Shippo said "Kate and Rin took the baby to go gather herbs, and after a while Rin and the baby came back on Ahun. Rin was crying and said Kate sent her and the baby to safety and stayed behind to make sure they got away!"
Drake demanded concerned "Where are Rin and Rayden!?"
Shippo said "At Kaedee's."
Drake noded and they all ran to Kaedee's.
Drake walked in and said softly "Rin honey, can you tell me what happed?"
Rin noded, her eyes filled with tears again and she said "We were out gathering herbs. Aunt Kate suddenly stopped and told me to get on Ahun, then she put the baby over my chest and told me to take the baby to safety. She said to wait untill you got back and tell you what happened."
Drake noded and said calmly "You did real good Rin! I am very proud of you for getting you and the baby to safety!"
Rin noded.
Then Drake took a deep breath and said "Now I need you to tell me EXACTLY where you were and if Aunt Kate said who was coming?"
Rin noded and said softly "We were just inside the forrest by the the sacred tree. And she said his name was bank..something or other."
Drake's eyes widdene and he asked evenly "You mean Bankotsu?!"
Rin noded and said "Yeah that was it!"
Drake growled angrily, walked towards Inuyasha and looked at Kagome.
Drake saie evenly "Kag, I need you to stay here with the kids and keep them safe! Can you do that for me?"
Kagome noded and said "Bring her back Drake!"
Drake said determindly "I will!"
Then he looked at Inuyasha and asked evenly "You coming or not?"
Inuyasha yelled "Hell yes I'm going!"
Then Drake noded and they took off towards where Kate and the kids were.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.
Elsewhere..........
Bankotsu arrived at Naraku's castle and unmounted.
Then he lifted the unconsious body of Kate off the horse, threw her over his shoulder and slapped the horse sending it off into the night.
Bankotsu entered the castle and carried her to her cell.
Inside the cell he placed her on the cot, turned and left, locking the door behind him.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At the tree.........
Inuyasha and Drake, smelled and looked around but couldnn't find Kate anywhere.
Inuyasha did however spot something shiny.
Inuyasha said "Drake, over there look!"
Then he pointed to the shiny object.
Drake and Inuyasha walked over to examine the object, and realized it was a dagger.
Drake said "It's one of Kate's! Well we now know she fought back!"
Inuyasha noded.
Drake picked up the dagger, held it like it was his lifeline to Kate and asked softly out loud "Kate love, where are you?"
Inuyasha looked around for any other clues and spotted the horse tracks.
"Yo Drake, over here!" hollered Inuyasha.
Drake ran over to where Inuyasha was.
Inuyasha pointed to the tracks and said "Look!"
Drake said confused "Horse tracks!?!"
Then he shook his head and said frustratedly "This means he used the horse to carry them off! They could be anywhere by now."
Inuyasha sighed heavily and said "Then lets follow these tracks and see where they lead."
Drake noded and they took off.

Then Drake took a deep breath and said "Now I need you to tell me EXACTLY where you were and if Aunt Kate said who was coming?"
Rin noded and said softly "We were just inside the forrest by the the sacred tree. And she said his name was bank..something or other."
Drake's eyes widdene and he asked evenly "You mean Bankotsu?!"
Rin noded and said "Yeah that was it!"
Drake growled angrily, walked towards Inuyasha and looked at Kagome.
Drake saie evenly "Kag, I need you to stay here with the kids and keep them safe! Can you do that for me?"
Kagome noded and said "Bring her back Drake!"
Drake said determindly "I will!"
Then he looked at Inuyasha and asked evenly "You coming or not?"
Inuyasha yelled "Hell yes I'm going!"
Then Drake noded and they took off towards where Kate and the kids were.

Elsewhere..........
Bankotsu arrived at Naraku's castle and unmounted.
Then he lifted the unconsious body of Kate off the horse, threw her over his shoulder and slapped the horse sending it off into the night.
Bankotsu entered the castle and carried her to her cell.
Inside the cell he placed her on the cot, turned and left, locking the door behind him.

At the tree.........
Inuyasha and Drake, smelled and looked around but couldnn't find Kate anywhere.
Inuyasha did however spot something shiny.
Inuyasha said "Drake, over there look!"
Then he pointed to the shiny object.
Drake and Inuyasha walked over to examine the object, and realized it was a dagger.
Drake said "It's one of Kate's! Well we now know she fought back!"
Inuyasha noded.
Drake picked up the dagger, held it like it was his lifeline to Kate and asked softly out loud "Kate love, where are you?"
Inuyasha looked around for any other clues and spotted the horse tracks.
"Yo Drake, over here!" hollered Inuyasha.
Drake ran over to where Inuyasha was.
Inuyasha pointed to the tracks and said "Look!"
Drake said confused "Horse tracks!?!"
Then he shook his head and said frustratedly "This means he used the horse to carry them off! They could be anywhere by now."
Inuyasha sighed heavily and said "Then lets follow these tracks and see where they lead."
Drake noded and they took off.
