Chap22
At Kaedee's villiage........
Kagome was holding the now sleeping baby when Sango and Miroku arrived.
Sango greeted "Hey Kagome."
Kagome smiled and said "Hey yourself."
Miroku asked "Where are the others?"
Kagome replied sadly "Out looking for Kate."
Sango gasped and asked "Why?"
Kagome took a deep breath.
Kagome said "Long story short, Kate took the kids to gather some herbs. Kate sesned Bankotsu near and sent Rin and the baby back here on Ahun to safety. She stayed behind to ensures the kids got away. Inuyasha and Drake are out looking for her now. Drake asked me to stay and look after the kids, then He and Inuyasha took off."
Sango asked "Which way did they go?"
Kagome said "They went to the sacred tree to look for her and no one has returned so I assume they left in search of her."
Sango noded and said "Alright Kirara! Let's go."
Kirara tranformed and Sango and Miroku climbed on her back, then took off.
Kagome hollered "Goodluck!"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Elsewhere.....
Inuyasha and Drake were following the horse tracks, and came to a stable just outside of an inn.
"Shit!" Yelled Inuyasha.
Then he looked at Drake and asked "So what do we do now?"
Drake sighed heavily and said "This is a dead end. The tracks are all jumbled up and mixed together at this point, DAMNIT!"
Drake clenched his fist and said "If only I could reach Kate..."
Inuyasha asked "Why not do the brain talking thing?"
Drake said frustratedly "I have tried. She must be out cold tho because I can't reach her...."
Inuyasha said "There are 4 different places where the tracks go off in just one direction but they are each in different directions."
Drake noded and said "Yeah I know, if only we had more people with us we could just all go in one direction a piece."
Just Then Sango and Miroku yelled "Hey there!"
Inuyasha said "Bout damn time!"
Drake said "Perfect! Sango you go one way, Miroku another, Inuyasha another, and I will go this way. Follow the horse tracks untill you reach where they lead. If you don't find her by then, meet back here tomorrow night before sunset. Lets move out!"
Everyone noded and took off.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At Naraku's castle......
Bankotsu approached Naraku.
Bankotsu said "Now I just need to deliver a message to Inuyasha and his friends."
Naraku noded.
Naraku yelled "Kohaku!"
Kohaku appeared.
Naraku said "I need you to deliver a message to Inuyasha and his friends!"
Kohaku noded and said "Yes, master Naraku."
Bankotsu handed him a letter and said sternly "Be sure Inuyasha gets this! AND ONLY Inuyasha! He will take it to where it needs to go."
Kohaku noded his head, took the letter and set off.
Bankotsu smiled and said "Now we wait."
Naraku noded.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
12 hours later........
With Sango at the cliff....
"Well Kirara, looks like we have hit a dead end again. And that is the last cave too. Lets head back and meet up with the others." said Sango.
Kirara turned around and flew back towards the Inn.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
With Miroku.......
Miroku was searching along the woods when he felt the wind begin to pick up.
"Hm I wonder if this means Koga is in the area?" he thought to hisself.
Not two minutes later he saw a whirlwind a little ways off.
Suddenly the whirlwind veered towards him.
Koga stepped out and said "Hey monk, where are the others?"
Mirokus said "Hey Koga, we are all out looking for Kate. She dissapeared just outside the villiage and Bankotsu has her which likely means she is with Naraku now."
Koga yelled "BANKOTSU!?! But I thought mutt face destroyed him already!?"
Miroku said "Yeah he did, this one is from Kagome and Kate's time remember."
Koga said angrily "Oh yeah, him!"
Miroku said "I got here following some horse tracks, but it appears to be a dead end."
Koga said "I will help you find her!"
Miroku noded and said "Thanks for the help! I should head back to the inn now, the others will be waiting for me."
Koga said "Hm, ok meet ya there!"
Then Koga whirled off again.
Miroku shook his head, sighed and started heading back on foot.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
With Inuyasha.....
"Damnit! Another dead end!" Yelled a frustrated Inuyasha, as he came to a river to wide to cross.
"The tracks stop here.." he thought to hisself. "Now what do I do?"
He started to head back towards the inn.
Almost halfway there he sniffed the air and said "Kohaku!?!"
Kohaku threw his chain weapon at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha dodged the attack and demanded "What the hell are you doing!?"
Kohaku retrived his weapon and said evenly "I have a message for you Inuyasha."
Inuyasha looked puzzled and demanded "So what is it then!?"
Kohaku layed the letter on the ground and said evenly "I was told to give this to you alone!"
With that Kohaku left.
Inuyasha cautuiosly walked over, picked up the letter and saw it was addressed to Drake.
Inuyasha pocketed it and yelled "DAMNIT!"
Then he ran back to the Inn to meet the others.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
With Kate......
Kate woke up and thought "Great now where the hell am I!?"
Drake heard her thoughts and thought frustratedly "Kate! Thank goodness! I have been trying to reach you forever!"
Kate smiled at the concern she heard and thought back soothingly "It's ok love, I am alright! I was just out of it for awhile. I am sorry I worried you!"
Drake calmed down and thought "Baby where are you? What happened?"
Kate thought back "I am not sure yet where he has taken me, The kids and I were gathering herbs, I had just enough time to send the kids off to safety before Bankotsu appeared..How are the kids? Did they make it to the villiage!?"
Drake thought back "The kids are safe, Rin was crying when I left. Kag is taking care of the kids. The rest of us are looking for you now."
Kate thought back seriously "I am glad the kids are safe!"
Then Kate thought sadly "Drake I am really sorry! I never meant for any of this to happen! I just wanted to gather some herbs in case we needed them. I took the kids with me thinking it would give Rin pleanty of time to run off some energy.."
Then Drake thought back seriously "Its okay baby, I know you didn't! And you didn't do anything wrong so stop apologising! Bankotsu is the one who messed up! Not you."
Kate thought back "Okay. So I guess I wait for the jerk's "visit" then I will try to get as much info from him as I can."
Drake thought back "I wonder why he did this?"
Kate thought "DAMN! I forgot that part....he said he plans to make a trade...me for that damn Banryuu! He told me that when we were fighting."
Drake thought back demanding "Are you ok honey? He didn't hurt you did he!?"
Kate thought back "My left side is still a bit sore, probably from when he elbowed my ribs forcing me to let go."
Drake thought back angrily "DANM HIM!"
Then Drake thought back seriously "You ok baby? He didnt break them did he!?"
Kate thought back seriously "They don't feel broken, just badly bruised. As soon as I get my hands free I will check tho. He tied my hands behind me and then knocked me out by the horse. My hands are still bound tho."
Then she thought back dryly "Guess it's a good thing I am so flexible huh!?"
Drake thought back laughingly "Damn straight!"
Then he thought back teasingly "Besides I like your flexibility!"
Kate thought back teasingly "Well right now I am currently sitting on the cot, with my hands tied behind my back and my legs free."
Drake thought back frustratedly "Damn woman! You are killing me here! This is not the time!"
Kate thought back giggling "Sorry love, just couldn't help myself! Seriously tho I am gonna try to free my hands now."
Drake thought back "Okay."
Kate scooted to sit at the edge of the cot, then leaned back and scooted her handed under her hips.
She then tookk a deep breath and rocked back and brought her knees to her chest.
Then she rocked back and lifted her hips, using the momentum of the rocking to move her arms to just behind her ankles.
She then scrunched as much as she could and moved her hands to pass over her feet.
Then she layed back and thought "Okay, now I just got to get to my dagger...! Oh Shit! Drake I just remembered I lost one of my daggers...!"
Drake thought back "Inuyasha and I found it baby! I got it right here with me!"
Kate thought back "Thank goodness!"
Then Kate reached for her waistband, pulled her other dagger free, cut the ropes, and freed her hands.
Kate replaced her dagger and thought "Okay, at least my hands are free now! SO now we will be back on even grounds!"
Drake thought back deadly serious "Good for you baby! BUT Kailin do NOT try to fight him again! I will do that myself when I get you back safely! Untill then baby do what you have to to stay safe without getting hurt or beat on!"
Kate thought back dryly "Yeah I know, even with my demon blood in me, he is way to strong for me! He must have something inhancing his streagnth somehow tho..."
Drake thought back seriously "Yeah, but he doesn't know about my bloodline! Trust me love, I can handle him! Just make sure you stay safe!"
Kate thought back seriously "I will! And you HAD better do the same! Rayden needs us BOTH still!"
The she thought frustratedly"Man I miss eveyone! I wanna go home! I wanna hold my baby and Rin and you!"
Drake reassured "Don't worry love! The kids are safe and I WILL get you back!"
Kate sighed heavily and thought calmly "I know love! It's just so.....frustrating!"
Drake thought back dryly "Tell me about it!"
Then he thought back seriously "I am gonna head back to the Inn and meet up with the others. They should all be there waiting for me! Hang in there baby! I will be right here when you need to reach me ok!"
Kate thought back "Okay! I love you Drake!"
Drake thought back whole heartedly "I love you too baby!"
Then Kate cut the connection and hid the now cut rope out of site.
Then she sit on the cot awaiting what ever came next.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
With Drake........
He had just reached the Inn.
Miroku walked up and said seriously "I ran into Koga a while ago."
Drake noded.
Miroku continued "Koga said he is also gonna help us search for her. In fact he should be here by now."
Koga popped up and said "Yo!"
Drake said "Thank you Koga!"
Koga noded and said "No problem! So what's the plan?"
Drake said evenly "Not sure yet."
Inuyasha ran up to Drake and showed him the letter.
Drake read the letter and said "So, now we know the where huh!"
Inuyasha asked "What are you talking about?"
Drake said angrily "Kate and I talked a little bit ago, she told me Bankotsu plans to exchange her for that damned blade of his! And now I know where!"
Sango asked "What are you gonna do?"
Drake said seriously "I'm gonna go get the damned blade! What else!?"
Sango noded.
Inuyasha said "I'm going too! Wether you hid it in this time or Kagome's I am going with!"
Drake noded and said "Lets head back then. I need to check on the kids and talk to Kagome!"
So everyone noded and they all went back towards Kaedee's.
