Chap23



Back with Kate........


Kate was sitting against the wall on the cot when the door opened.

Bankotsu walked in, sets down a tray.

Then he looked over at Kate and asked dryly "Finally awake eh?"

Kate looked at him and said sarcastically "Well pardon me for being unconcious! You are the one who cold cocked my ass!"

Bankotsu chuckled and said teasingly "Nice to see you still have some fire left in you Kate!"

Kate rolled her eyes and asked "What do you want Bankotsu?"

Bankotsu approcached her and said seriously "I already told you! I want my blade back! You will be my 'guest' untill your beloved husband complies with my demands and returns my Banryuu!"

Then he looked down at her and said huskily "Untill then, you're all mine!"

Then he continued seriously "Behave yourself and no one will hurt you.. Understood!?"

Kate glared at him and noded.

He sat on the cot next to her, leaned over her, whispered in her ear huskily "I still want you Kate! And I intend to have you eventually!"

Then he lightly nibbled on her earlobe.

Kate just sat there.

Then he said seriously "Now turn around And I will remove your ropes."

Kate smiled, held up her hands and said sweetly "Already taken care of!"

Bankotsu was shocked and asked "How did you...!?"

Kate cut him off and said sweetly "I am just full of surprises."

Bankotsu grinned and said "I'll say! Now come on!"

He took her by the arm and lead her to where he had set down the tray of food.

He sat her down and ordered "Eat!"

"How do I know it isn't poisoned? asked Kate seriously.

Bankotsu chuckled and shook his head.

Then he said seriously "If I wanted you dead babe, I would have just kept choking you, or killed you while you were knocked out! Now eat!"

Kate looked at the food and sighed, then her stomach grumbled and she blushed.

Bankotsu chuckled and says "I figured you would be hungry after our little struggle."

Kate sighed and she began to eat.

Bankotsu sat across from her and watched to make sure she actually ate.

Kate finished all the food in front of her and said politely "Thanks."

Bankotsu noded and said evenly "This time there will be rules. You aren't allowed outside this time, because of that little stunt of yours last time we let you out!"

Kate sighed heavily.

Bankotsu looked at her and asked "Just what was that anyways? And Why didn't you ever tell me you have demon blood in you! Don't you think I had the right to know? What if we would have had kids!? I do NOT want any kids of mine having any damned demon blood in them!"

Kate said dryly "Thank goodness we didn't have any then huh! I sure wouldn't want my kids being punished for something they would have NO damned controll over! Least of all by thier own father."

Bankotsu scowled angrily at her and defended himself by saying "I wouldn't have ever turned my back on my kids or punished them for something they couldn't controll!"

Kate said evenly "It's a moot point anyways seeing as how it will never happen!"

Bankotsu scowled at her even harder.

She just sat there and looked blankly at him.

After a few minutes he calmed down and calmly repeated "Why didn't you tell me you had demon blood in you, Kate? I had a right to know!"

Kate looked at him directly and said evenly "If you had bothered to pay attention at all, I did! I mentioned it when my parents died! I said it had to be an unusual and serious, accident because mom's demon blood usually didn't allow her to become seriously injured for long. She had been thru countless accidents that would have killed any human several times and bounced back perfectly fine after a few days."

Kate looked away sadly remebering her parents.

Bankotsu just stared at her for a few minutes.

Then Kate asked softly "You said 'we', does that mean you are still working with Naraku?"

Bankotsu noded.

Kate asked "And am I in his new strong hold then?"

Bankotsu noded again and said evenly "It won't do you any good to try to escape either. There is a toxic miasma so thick outside, even you wouldn't last a full minute."

Kate noded, then said evenly "So tell me Ban, why can you?"

Bankotsu said evenly "I have my ways."

Kate said evenly "Come on Ban, I have demon blood in me and I wont last out there, but you a pure human would? How? Unless you have some kind of protection or a ward to not let it affect you?"

Bankotsu chuckled and said dryly "Ever the curious one aren't you Katie babe?"

Kate noded.

Banlotsu smiled, shook his head and said seriously "Naraku and I have an agreement. He shields me from his miasma amongst other things and I am his muscle man."

Kate sighed heavily and said "Do you really think you can trust him?"

Bankotsu laughed and said "To a point yes. As long as he has need of me and my muscles."

Kate asked seriously "But didn't you tell me, your ancestor was betrayed by Naraku in the end?"

Bankotsu noded.

Kate asked seriously "Then what makes you think he won't do the same to you?"

Bankotsu looked at her and demanded seriously "What do you care!?"

Kate shrugged and said "We were at one point friends if nothing else."

Bankotsu looked her in the eyes and said softly "We were more than friends Kate...!"

Kate looked at him and said softly "It was a long time ago! I just don't want to see you end up like you said your ancestor did!"

Kate got up and turned around to walk off.

Bankotsu stopped her, looked her in the eyes and demanded softly "Why do you care!? You left me remember!?"

Kate sighed heavily and said seriously "I know, but I still worry about you! I still care as a friend..!"

Bankotsu looked shocked, Kate walked over and sat on her cot.

Bankotsu stared at Kate a few minutes and then sat next to her on the cot.

Kate scooted over to make room for him to sit without crowding her.

Bankotsu looked at her, gently tucked some stray strands of hair behind her ear and said softly "So, you still care huh?"

Kate noded and said sadly and seriously "You were a good, kind, person once. A LONG time ago! I don't know why you changed, but I still remember when you were a nice person. You were my friend Ban. Part of me will always remember those days! Part of me will always miss the way you were then! Part of me is mad as hell at you for what you put me thru! But I still care for my friend! And I know that deep down inside you somewhere at least a part of my friend is in still in you!"

Kate sighed heavily and looked away with her eyes watering.

Bankotsu looked at her and whispered fiercly "I'm sorry Katie! I am so damn sorry!"

Kate looked back at him in shock.

She had never expected to hear him say that.

Bankotsu then stoof up, looked her directly in the eyes and said seriously and determindly "But that doesn't change the way things are now! Nothing will! You are my guest and will remain so untill I get my Banryuu back!"

Then he turned on his heel and angrily stormed out of the room, locking the door behind him.

Kate sat there in shocks a few minutes.

Then Kate thought "Drake!"

Drake thought back "Im here baby! What's wrong?"

Kate told him what had just happened.

Drake thought back "I'm sorry baby, I know this isn't easy for you! Did you get any information from him?"

Kate thought back "Yeah, He is still working with Naraku and I am at the damn castle this time. There is a toxic miasma outside and I am not allowed outside again because of my 'little stunt last time!' is what I was told. Plus Bankotsu is somehow sheilded from the miasma by Naraku, in exchange for him being Naraku's muscle man. That is all I have gotten so far tho."

Drake thought back "That's good baby! Alot of info in such a short time! You did great honey! Now we are all headed back to the villiage, I got a note from Bankotsu explaining when and where for the exchange. Inuyasha and I gonna check in at the village and then we are gonna go get the damned blade. We will be making the exchange in 3 days!"

Kate thought back desperately"Drake! You CAN"T give him that damned blade! It's to dangerous!"

Drake thought back angrily "I am NOT gonna loose you over some damned sword!"

Then he thought back seriously"I will make the exchange, and then when you are safe. I will destroy him and his blade!"

She thought back sadly "I just don't want to loose you either!"

He thought back seriously"You won't! Don't worry Kaitlin, I can handle him and his accursed blade!"

Kate thought back seriously "Ok! But Drakevon if you get yourself hurt, so help me I will kick you ass myself!"

Drake thought back laughing, and thought seriously "Relax baby! I ain't about to get on your badside! And I ain't about to leave you and my son all alone either! I promise everything will work out fine!"

Kate relaxed and thought back "Okay! I better get some rest now."

Drake thought back seriously "I love you baby! And I promise I can handle this!"

Kate thought back seriously "I know you can! And I love you too!"

Then Kate cut the connection.


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


Back at Kaedee's villiage.......


Drake and the others arrived.

Kagome carried liitle Rayden, held Rin's hand, walked up and asked "What happened?"

Drake said calmly "Inuyasha and I are going to retrive the sword, I need you to stay with the kids Kag!"

Kagome started to protest but Drake cut her off.

Drake said evenly "I know you want to help! But right now you are helping the most by protecting Rin and my son! Knowing they are safe, I can concentrate fully on getting Kate back. Okay?"

Kagome sighed heavily and noded.

Drake smiled at her and said gratefully "Thank you Kag! I promise I will get her back!"

Then Inuyasha said "Miroku, Sango, you two stay here and help Kagome untill we return!"

Sango and Miroku noded.

Drake looked at Inuyasha and said "Lets get going!"

Inuyasha noded and they went to the well.


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


Back with Kate....


Kate thought "Ugh! I am so bored!"

Drake thought back laughing "Sorry baby."

Kate thought back dryly "He could have at least brought me a book or something."

Drake thought back seriously "Listen Kate, Inuyasha and I are gonna get the blade. That means we will be in our time for the next day and a half."

Kate sighed and thought back reassuringly "It's ok Drake, I am a big girl! I will be fine."

Drake thought back "I will try to return as soon as we can okay. Oh yeah, And Koga is looking for you as well."

Kate thought back laughing happily "Really?"

Drake thought back seriously "Yep. And he wasn't to happy to find out you went missing either."

Kate thought back seriously "What can I say, all the men in my life lately are really protective of me!"

Drake thought back seriously "Damn right they are! ALL of us are! And ME most of all!"

Kate thought back soothingly "I know love! And I am just as protective of you!"

Then Kate added dryly "Even if I am just a woman."

Drake thought back laughlingly "Lucky thing for me! You are enough of a handful as a woman, I hate to think of what you would be like if you were a man!"

Then he thought teasingly "Besides I love you being a woman! It makes me feel all a bigshot and improtant to be able to protect you!"

Kate thought back laughing.

Then she thought back seriously "You ARE important! To me and our son, more than anything else!"

He thought back seriously "I know love, and you and Rayden are the most important things in the WORLD to me! Love ya sweetheart! I gotta go now ok."

Kate thought back "I know! Same here Drake! You and Rayden ARE my world! Love you too!"

Then she cut the connection.


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


At the well....


Drake sighed heavily, looked at Inuyasha and said seriously "Lets go!"

Inuyasha noded and they entered the well.



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


Back at Kaedee's villiage.....


Sango was holding Rayden and chattering with him, while Kagome was helping Rin pick some flowers.

Rin said "Kagome?"

Kagome said softly "What Rin?"

Rin looked directly at Kagome and said confidently "Aunt Kate will be safe! I know Uncle Drake will bring her back to us!"

Kagome smiled and said softly "Yes he will! And thank you Rin for saying that!"

Rin grinned and said "No problem!"

Then they went back to picking flowers.

Miroku was standing gaurd over them.

Sango smiled as Kagome and Rin walkedd towards her.

Sango said "I know you are worried Kagome. We all are! But Drake WILL bring her back to us! He's strong and VERY determined!"

Kagome smiled and said "I know, thanks Sango!"

Sango smiled and said "Anytime Kagome. You know she and Drake have become a part of our group and we are all family."

Kagome smiled and said "Yeah, I know!"

Then Kagome looked at Rayden in Sango's lap and asked smiling "SO how do you like being an Aunt?"

Sango laughed and said softly "He is just so precious and cute!"

Kagome noded and said proudly "He sure is! He has Katie's eyes and Drake's hair."

Sango noded and said curiously "I wonder what else he has inherited from them?"

Kagome smiled and said "I guess we will have to wait and see huh?"

Sango noded and said "Yep, guess so."

Kagome laughed as Rin tackled her from behind.

Then Kagome reached over, and tickled Rin like crazy.

The Rin said seriously "Kagome, I'm hungry!"

Kagome laughed and said seriously "Well then I guess we better go make some stew huh!"

Rin noded eagerly and they set off to make the stew.


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

A day later........


With Kate.....


Kate was sitting on the cot bored out of her mind, when the door opened.

Bankotsu entered and set a tray down.

Then he looked over at Kate and saw she looked bored.

He asked dryly "Already bored huh?"

Kate looked at him and replied evenly "What do you expect? I am cooped up and can't go outside! I have NOTHING to do in here! And the only company I get, is when you bring in my food."

Bankotsu shook his head laughing and said evenly "Come on, get over here and eat."

Kate sighed, got up, walked over and sat down.

Bankotsu said sweetly "If you are that bored babe, You could always try to persude me to stay and keep you company."

Kate stopped eating, looked at him and said dryly "Like you would stay and not try anything funny with me."

Bankotsu faked a look of hurt and said mockingly "And here I thought you trusted me. Now that hurts Kate!"

Kate rolled her eyes and went back to eating.

Bankotsu said seriously "I'm serious Kate, ask nicely and I just might be persuaded to keep you company, for a little while at least."

Kate warned evenly "As long as you promise to not to try anything!"

Bankotsu grinned and cooed sweetly "Define 'anything' Kate"

Kate looked at him and said seriously "I would rather be bored and alone, then to have you trying any funny business! If you stayed we would just TALK and nothing else!"

Bankotsu shrugged and said seriously "Just remember my offer still stands. But if you want me to stay, I at least want a kiss. And not some little peck on the cheek either. I want a REAL kiss! Just like when we first started dating."

Kate crossed her arms in front of her chest, looked directly in his eyes and said seriously "I'll pass thanks."

Bankotsu shrugged and said off handedly "Suit yourself Kate!"

Then he collected the tray, walked out the door and locked it behind him.

Kate sighed heavily, layed on the cot and forced herself to try to sleep.


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


12 hrs later........


At Keadee's villiage..........


Kagome was carrying Rayden in the sling over her stomach And holding Rin's hand walking in the woods with Sango at her side.

They feltl the wind pick up and a minute later a whirlwind appeared and stopped right in front of them.

Koga stepped out of the whirlwind, saw Kagome holding the baby and said dryly "Please tell me that is NOT mutt face's pup!"

Kagome laughed and said "It's not even my baby."

Koga looked confused and asked "Whose..?"

Sango smiled.

Kagome laughed at the confusion on Koga's face.

Rin said proudly "He is Auntie Kate and Uncle Drake's baby!"

Koga looked shocked and noded.

Then Kagome explained softly "I am baby sitting, untill Drake and Inuyahsa get back and they find Kate."

Koga noded and said seriously "I came to see if they have had any word yet?"

Sango said evenly "Drake received a letter from Bankotsu a few days aga demanding a trade. Kate for the Banryuu."

Kagome noded and added "They left a little over a day ago to retrieve the Banryuu. The trade is supposed to be made in the next couple of days. But he didn't tell me where. He asked me to watch over the kids."

Koga noded, then smiled and said gently "He must really trust you, since he asked you to watch over thier son!"

Kagome beamed and noded.

Then Koga approached her, looked at the baby and breathed softly "He has Kate's eyes."

Kagome said proudly "Yes he does!"

Sango added smiling "And Drake's hair."

Koga noded.

Rayden grabbed Koga's finger and squeezed.

Koga laughed and said firmly "The little guy has quite a grip as well, I see!"

Kagome smiled and noded.

Koga asked curiously "What's his name?"

Kagome replied softly "Rayden."

Koga noded, and said firmly "That's a good, strong name! Very fitting for thier son!"

Sango noded.

Kagome smiled.

Miroku walked up and greeted "Koga, nice to see you again!"

Then Miroku asked seriously "Any luck yet?"

Koga sighed and said sadly and angrily "No. Not yet."

Then he pried his finger loose from Rayden's grip and smiled at the boy.

Then he looked at Kagome and said seriously "I better get going."

Kagome noded and Koga whirled off again.


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



With Inuyasha and Drake......


Drake said "Okay, we got the blade. Now lets go get my wife!"

Inuyasha noded, shook his head and said "I still can't believe you hid it there!"

Drake laughed and said "I knew it was the one place he would never be able to find it!"

Inuyasha said "Okay, lets go."

Drake noded and they went back towards the way they had come from.


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


With Kate........


Kate was just getting up and started to stretch as the door opened.

Bankotsu walked in, set the trey down and watched Kate stretch.

He smiled to hisself as he remembered another time when he watched her stretch, but she didn't know it.

Then he cleared his throat loudly.

Kate looked at him and said softly "Oh! Morning. I didn't see you there."

Bankotsu smiled and said softly "Come on, lets eat. Make sure to finish your drink too!"

Kate sauntered over, sat down and began eating.

Bankotsu also began eating.

Kate sipped her drink.

"Ack what the hell is this!?" demanded Kate.

Bankotsu answered simply "Sake."

Kate rolled her eyes and mumbled "Ugh! I should have known!"

Kate repremanded "Ban! You know I don't drink! Ugh! Get rid of the rubbish and get me some water please!"

Bankotsu grinned and swallowed her sake in one gulp, then put the cup back on the tray.

Bankotsu looked at her and said softly "I have decided to be nice and spend some time with you, so you won't have to be so bored today."

Kate looked at him a minute then said softly "Thanks."

He smiled and noded.

Then they went back to eating.

After they were finished eating, Kate got up and started doing her morning exercises.

Bankotsu smiled and watched, enjoying the view as she stretched, jogged in place and then did some sit ups.

Once she finished, she noticed Bankotsu smiling and watching her and she asked softly "What?"

He shrugged and grinned.

She rolled her eyes, got up off the floor, and sat on the cot.

Bankotsu then grinned and decided to give her a little show.

He took off his shirt, showing off his rock hard abs and muscles, got down, and did some push ups, giving her a full view of his massive upper body streagnth.

Kate watched him and asked evenly "Ok Bankotsu, just what are you up to? In all the time we were together you never once did push ups in front of me!"

Bankotsu stopped, grinned and said sweetly "I told you I decided to be nice today."

Kate rolled her eyes and said seriously "I have known you long enough to know you better then that Bankotsu! What are you planning now?"

Bankotsu got up and asked sweetly "Why do you always think I am up to something? Can't I ever just be nice!?"

Kate looked at him in the eyes and said seriously "Because you are ALWAYS up to something! Now what are you up to?"

Bankotsu smiled and said sweetly "Maybe I just want to get back in your good graces."

Kate sighed and said evenly "For that to happen you would let me outside or better yet let me go completely!"

Bankotsu looked hurt and asked in a hurt voice "Is it really that bad being around me all the time?"

Kate sighed and said honestly "Ever since you brought me here you have been extra sweet. Except that first night. So no, it hasn't been that bad. But I miss my friends and my family Ban!"

He looked at her and said evenly "Don't worry Kaitlin, you will get to go back to them soon enough!"

Then he turned away from her.

He sighed heavily and said in a hurt tone "I just wish for once you would let yourself actually enjoy my company, that's all."

Kate sighed heavily and said softly "Alright, you have gone out of your way to be nice! I guess I can try to be nice too."

Bankotsu looked at her and said evenly "I would like for us to spend the rest of the day together. But not unless your okay with it."

Kate's eyes widdened in shock and she said softly "I would like that too. But Ban, don't expect anything more than friendship!"

Bankotsu noded.

Kate noded.

Bankotsu smiled and said happily "Thanks Kate."

She smiled and noded.

Bankotsu left long enough to dispose of the tray and then brought in a bunch of different fruits, and the water she had requested.

They spent the day talking and eating fruit.

They talked just like they had in the past before he found the Banryuu.

Kate actually began to relax around him a little bit.

Then when dinner came in, they sat, ate dinner and kept talking.

Kate laughed at a joke he made.

Bankotsu looked stunned and said softly "That's the first time I have actually heard you laugh in a LONG time Kate...!"

Kate looked at him seriously and said evenly "I know. Its been almost 6 1/2 years since I laughed with you around."

Kate looked away and Bankotsu said firmly "I have missed your laugh Kate..More than anything else I miss your laughter!"

Kate smiled sadly.

Bankotsu reached over, gently put his thumb and finger under her chin, and turned her to look back at him.

He saw the sadness in her eyes and said softly "Kate...!"

A few tears fell from her eyes and he gently wiped them away.

She pulled away, got up and turned away, not wanting him to see her crying.

He sighed then stood behind her and turned her so she faced him.

He gently lifted her chin again and saw her tears falling.

He embraced her and put her head on his chest.

She said softly "Today was nice, it was almost like old times. That's what I miss. I miss talking to you, like we used to when we first started dating."

Then she sighed heavily and pushed his chest gently trying to free herself.

He held onto her and said fiercely "I'm sorry Katie! I never meant to hurt you!"

Kate sighedheavily, burried her head in his chest and began crying harder.

He held her close while she cried.

After a while she pulled herself together and pushed his chest again.

He let her go reluctantly.

She stepped back, looked him directly in the eyes, sighed heavily and said softly "Me too Ban."

Then she turned to walk away and he grabbed her elbow.

He spun her around to face him and said softly "Give me a chance Katie! Please! Just one chance to make things right between us!"

Kate looked at him and said softly "I can't! Drake is my husband and like it or not that isn't about to change! I'm sorry Ban, but as far as you and me being together again, that's never going to happen! I love Drake and he loves me! We are VERY happy together! I still care for you as a friend! But that's all it will ever be!"

Bankotsu got frustrated and said evenly "I have tried doing things your way! I have tried being nice, sweet and kind to you! I have tried being paitent! And it has gotten me NOWHERE! So, now we ARE gonna do them my way!"

He slowly advanced on her, she backed up against the cot and fell into a sitting position on the cot.

He instantly leaned over her, forcing her to lay down, and blanketed her body with his own.

Bankotsu said huskily "I still want you Kate! AND I WILL have you! I really didn't want to have to do it this way a second time, but you leave me no choice!"

Kate said sadly "Please Ban, don't do this! Today was nice, don't ruin it by doing this! Please!"


Warning: Attempted rape scene!


Bankotsu said frustratedly "I have tried your way for the last 3 days, and it hasn't gotten me anywhere! Not even one lousy kiss! Now I am thru being mr. nice guy! I WILL have you Kaitlin! It's up to you how! We can either do this the easy way or the hard way, but either way I AM going to have you tonight!"

Kate said angrily "You do realize Drake WILL KILL you for this right!? Not to mention I forgave you the first time! But I WON"T forgive you a second time! If you do this Ban, I will NEVER forgive you! And Drake WILL kill you for it, make no mistake about it!"

Bankotsu laughed bitterly and said angrily "You were mine long before you were ever his! Besides I have an advantage over you human husband. I am much stronger then most humans to begin with. And even more so with the jewel shards enhancing my streagnth! I think I can easily kill him! Then I will make you mine woman forever! Besides in all those years we dated, you never once gave yourself to ME willingly! Yet you were fucking HIM in a hotspring!"

Kate said angrily "I am married to him! AND You knew damn well I wanted to wait for marriage!"

Bankotsu chuckled and said amused "Ah Katie babe! You ARE married now. So now there are no more excuses!"

Kate glared at him and said evenly "If you want me that bad, you will have to force yourself on me again! And I WILL fight back this time! I will NOT give myself willingly! Can you really live with yourself if you rape me a second time Bankotsu!?"

Bankotsu sighed heavily and said evenly "Looks like you are giving me no choice!"

Then he pinned her hands above her head on the cot, with one of his own hands.

Kate started to thrash around wildly trying to escape his hold.

Bankotsu was enjoying her struggles and said grining with eyes full of determination "I will have you before the night is over Kaitlin! The more you struggle, the sweeter for me and longer for you it will be!"

Then Kate screamed "NO!"

She tried to lossen his hold and he threw his head back and laughed.

She started fighting harder.

Bankotsu started roughly grabbing a breast with his free hand.

Her eyes widdened in horror and she fought trying to get him to let her loose.

He tightened his grip, then smashed his mouth onto hers roughly and shoved his tounge in her mouth.

She tried to bite it, but he had anticipated that and withdrew it to fast for her to clamp her teeth down.

He laughed and said teasingly "Tsk! Tsk! Katie babe, shame on you!"

She glared at him and he squeezed her breast paintfully in warning.

She gasped in pain and he smiled.

Before he could do anything else the door opened.

Naraku demanded angrily "Bankotsu! Get the hell off that wench! You have a job to do!"

Bankotsu muttered "Damnit! Why now of all times!?"

He sighed, then pushed himself off of Kate and warned sternly "Don't you dare try anything Kaitlin!"

Kate sat up and wrapped her arms around her knees hugging them to her chest.

Then Bankotsu stated sweetly "I WILL come back later to finish what we started, babe!"

Then he winked at her.

She sat there and glared at him angrily, with her arms crossed in front of her chest.

He laughed, walked out the door, and locked it.


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


With Naraku........


"So what's this job?" asked Bankotsu evenly.

Naraku replied evenly "I have located another shard and I want you to go and retieve it for me NOW!"

Naraku gave Bankotsu the information he needed.

Bankotsu reluctantly set off on his task grummbling to hisself about how he would much rather be finishing his "business" with Kate.


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


Back at Kaedee's villiage.....


Kagome was sitting with little Rayden and trying to feed him some oatmeal.

He thew a fit and refused to eat.

She sighed heavily and asked aloud "How do you do it Kate!?"

Drake walked in and said amused "Well first off Kate normally nurses him. And secondly try this."

Then he took the spoon and used it like an airplane.

Rayden's eyes lit up, he laughed and Drake gently put the spoon in Rayden's mouth.

Rayden swallowed and clapped his hands.

Drake smiled at his son, then at Kagome and said gently "Don't worry. It took me awhile to get him to let me feed him too."

Kagome noded and asked "So where's Inuyahsa?"

Drake said evenly "By the well gaurding that damned blade."

Then he looked at Kagome and asked "Did you run out of the bottles of milk already?

Kagome noded.

Drake said seriously "Okay next time try mixing some potatoe flakes in water instead. He hates Oatmeal."

Kagome laughed and said "I don't blame him!"

Drake laughed and said "Me either!"

Then Drake asked seriously "Have you by chance seen Koga lately?"

Kagome noded and said "Yeah he was just here a couple days ago."

Drake said "Can you tell me where I might find him?"

Kagome said "If he isn't out around the east lands, then he is most likely to be at the caves."

Drake noded and asked "Can you gather enough supplies for Rayden for a week and meet me outside? Oh and grabs Katie's blades and harness too ok."

Kagome said "Yeah sure, but why?"

Drake said "I need you to take the supplies and follow me. We are gonna take the kids to an old friend of my parent's and Kate's parents for the time being. We have a big battle coming up and I am sure we will need you and your sacred arrows. And I know she is gonna want to have her blades when we get her back."

Kagome noded, gathered the things and put them in the baby bag, then she grabbed Kate's blades and harness.

Drake picked up his son, went to Inuyasha and said seriously "Gaurd that damned thing with your life! We will be back shortly!"

Inuyasha noded.

Kagome climbed onto Kirara behind Sango.

Drake took the baby bag and put it into another bag on Ahun then said "Ok sweet Rin, climb up."

Rin noded and climbed onto Ahun.

Drake noded and put Rayden in the sling in front of him and said "Rin, grab Ahun's reigns and follow me! Sango you follow as well. Lets go."

Then a mist surrounded Drake Like Sesshomaru's and he flew off with the mist under him.


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


6 hrs later.........


"Nala, you home?" asked Drake.

Nala appeared and said "Drakevon, good to see you again!"

Drake smiled and said seriously "I don't have a lot of time to explain but this is my niece Rin. Say hello Rin."

Rin noded and said "Hello."

Nala said with a smile "Hello Rin, nice to meet you."

Drake continued seriously "And this is my son Rayden."

Nala cooed at the baby and her face lit up.

Drake said "I have brought his things. I need a big favor Nala."

Nala said seriously "Name it Drake!"

Drake said "I need you to watch the kids untill I get back. Kate was take kidnapped by a vicious man and we are going to get her back! I need you to watch my son and niece untill we get back. I don't know how long we will be gone for but I brought enough stuff for at least a week."

Nala noded and said "I will protect them with my life Drake! Besides it will be a pleasure to have little ones around again!"

Drake noded and said whole heartedly "Thanks Nala!"

He handed Rayden to her and she gladly cuddled the child close to her chest.

He looked at Rin and said softly "Sweet Rin, I need you to stay here okay. Nala is a good woman and helped me alot when I was younger. We are gonna get Aunt Katie back! But you have to stay here untill then ok. Also I am leaving Ahun here and I need you to make sure he doesn't get lonely ok."

Rin noded and said seriously "I understand Uncle Drake!"

Then she hugged his neck and said "I love you Uncle Drake! Tell Aunt Katie I love her too! And give her a big hug for me!"

Drake smiled, hugged her back and said "I love you too sweet Rin! I will! Behave now ok."

Rin noded and took Nala's hand.

Kagome brought the bag of stuff forward and set it down by Nala's table.

Drake noded and said "By the way Nala, Ahun is Sesshomaru's two headed dragon, and pet/gaurd of Rin here.

Nala's eyes widdened and she asked "The Sesshomaru who...?

Drake noded, and said evenly "The one and only!"

Nala noded.

Then Drake and the others ttok off again, back to Inuyasha and the blade.

Back at Naraku's castle........


Bankotsu had returned from his task and handed the shard to Naraku and said evenly "Here is the shard you asked for Naraku."

Naraku noded and took the shard.

Bankotsu looked at him and asked "Is that all you need of me, or have you another task for me?"

Naraku said evenly "You are done for now."

Bankotsu noded and took his leave.


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


With Kate......


Bankotsu returned, Kate stood in the middle of the room as he opened the door and walked in with her food.

Kate was very uneasy around Bankotsu and just sood in the middle of the room with her arms crossed in front of her chest.

Bankotsu laughed and said "Relax Kate! I wont touch you while you eat."

Kate glared at him and said firmly "I'm not hungry!"

Bankotsu said mockingly "Tsk! Tsk! Now that just wont do at all! We wouldn't want Drake to think I didn't feed you, now would we!?"

He pointed to the food and demanded sternly " Now, get over here and eat Kate!"

Kate rolled her eyes and stayed put.

Bankotsu yanked her by her arm, placed his hands on her shoulders, shoved down and forced her to sit.

Kate crossed her arms in front of her, refused to eat, and glared at Bankotsu.

Bankotsu warned angrily "Eat Kaitlin or I will feed it to you myself!"

Kate rolled her eyes, drank the water and nibbled the food.

Bankotsu demanded evenly "Eat up Kaitlin! I will NOT have your husband claiming I didn't feed you properly!"

Kate ate about half the food and said evenly "I'm full! I can't possibly eat another bite!"

Bankotsu sighed, placed the tray outside the door and turned back to her.

Kate was standing in the middle of the room again.

Bankotsu sighed heavily and demanded softly "Why do you have to be so damn stubborn anyways!?"

Then he said evenly "Undress, change into this and then get into bed Kate!"

He shoved the mini kimono at her.

Kate sood there with her arms crossed in front of her glaring at him.

Bankotsu scowled and said evenly "I am trying not to ruin your kimono Kaitlin, but if you do not coroperate I will rip it to shreads! Now it is your choice either undress yourself, or I will do it and I won't be gentle about it either!"

Kate stood there glaring at him the entire time.

Bankotsu moved towards her, she jumped back and said "Leave first! I will switch into the mini kimono afterwards. I REFUSE to undress while you are in here!"

Bankotsu glared at her and said angrily "Damnit! Why do you have to be so damn stubborn! I have seen it all before, and I will see it again! So what's the damn difference!?"

Kate glared at him and said evenly "The least you can do is give me some measure of privacy to change in!"

Bankotsu shook his head and walked toward the door muttering "Damn stubborn woman!"

He reached the door and warned "10 minutes Kaitlin! And then I am coming in regardless of if you have changed or not!"

He then stormed out the door, then angrily slamed it shut, and locked it behind him.

Kate sighed heavily and very carefully removed her kimono top and dagger and belt.
She hid the dagger and belt in a corner, folded her top and bottoms neatly and lovingly and set them ontop of the box.

Then she sighed heavily, relunctantly put the mini kimono on and secured it's belt firmly around her waist.

Under the mini kimono she wore only her red lacy bra and boy short undies set.

She sighed heavily and leaned against the wall.


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


With Bankotsu.....


He was waiting outside the door a little pissed at her insitance for privacy.

Kohaku walked up and said evenly "Naraku wants to see you."

Bankotsu sighed heavily and went to see what Naraku wanted.

Bankotsu entered Naraku's chambers and said evenly "What is it Naraku?"

Naraku replied evenly "I will only warn you once not to under estimate Kate OR Drake! She has demon blood in her as we well know. And so does he!"

Bankotsu scowled and demanded "What do you mean!?"

Naraku said "Look closer at her shoulder and neckline. The mark you will see is the demon mating mark! And ONLY demons can make that particular mark!"

Bankotsu scoffed and said "Big deal!"

Naraku said evenly "It IS a big deal! If you take her, he WILL kill you for it! We do not know how much demon blood is in him yet, so we don't know how strong he really is! Kate has very little in her BUT she comes from a VERY reveared bloodline, so it is POWERFUL! That is why she was able to destroy Kagura the way she did."

Bankotsu asked evenly "What do you mean?"

Naraku said "I have had someone looking into it and it turns out Kate bloodline was thought to have died out some time ago. The last of that bloodline is said to have vanished over 70 years ago!"

Bankotsu demanded "What has that go to do with Kate?"

Naraku said evenly "The last of that bloodline, tho a half breed was the MOST powerful Wind elementalist in the last 5 centuries! And she was betrothed to Sesshomaru upon her birth! He decided he would not marry anyone less then a full blooded demoness! So when she told him she had fallen in love, he gladly released her on the conditions she would dissapear and that she would allow the betrothal to become voided, so he would then be free to mate a full demoness. She Gladly accepted his terms and voided the betrothal and she dissapeared. She was obviously Kate's mother. Kate shares her bloodline! And if Kate is pushed again she could very well tap into her powers again, this time calling upon her powerful and ancient bloodline, and easily killing EVERYTHING in site for 25 miles every direction! Do NOT push her to that point! Now go!"

Bankotsu noded, and took his leave.


With Kate.......


Warning: Rape scene!!


The door opened and Bankotsu entered.

He smiled and said huskily "Katie babe! You look Incredible!"

Kate looked at him and said softly and evenly "It's not to late Ban! You can still stop from doing this and completly destroying even the small amount of friendship we have managed to regain."

Bankotsu chuckled, then looked at her and said huskily "No way babe! You look hotter than ever before and I intened to enjoy you while I can!"

Kate sighed in resignation and said evenly "I meant what I said earlier! You are going to have to fight me for it!"

Bankotsu chuckled, shrugged and said seriously "So be it then!"

He advanced on her and she moved away from the wall to the center of the room.

He said seriously "It's your choice babe! the floor, the wall, or the cot. Either way I WILL have you tonight!"

She rolled her eyes and said seriously "If I HAD a choice, we wouldn't be doing ANYTHING!"

He chuckled and said amused "In a fiesty mood tonight eh? Fine by me baby!"

He walked towards her and she backed up slowly.

He grinned and increased his steps and she backed up again.

He reached for her and she moved away.

He advanced on her again and she stepped back a few more steps.

He grinned and took one more step.

She backed up one more step and felt the wall at her back.

Her eyes widdened as she realized why he was grining so much.

Before she could move away, he blocked her path from each side with his arms and before she could duck under his body, he pinned hers to the wall.

He leaned over and said amused "Caught ya Katie babe! Now what are you gonna do?"

He leaned down to kiss her neck and she brought her hands up from her sides and started pounding him on the sides.

He chuckled, quickly captured her hands and pinned them above her head, holding them with one of his own.

He grinned then leaned his body into her, pinning her lower body as well.

He moved his lips over to her ear and whispered huskily "Give up yet?"

Kate glared at him.

He looked back, saw her glaring at him and chuckled amused.

Then he leaned in to capture her lips in his own but she turned her head, so he ended up kissing her cheek instead.

He chuckled and used his free hand to force her to look at him and then he kissed her while holding her jaw.

He forced his tounge in her mouth, she tried to bite it, he squeezed her jaw painfully in warning and said teasingly "Nah Uh Kate! Not this time you don't! You little vixen!"

Then he squeezed her jaw tightly to keep her from trying to bite him and again shoved his tounge in her mouth.

She stubbornly kept her tounge away from his.

He simply shoved his tounge into hers, looped his tounge around hers and lightly nipped her tounge as a warning to behave.

She sighed heavily.

He broke the kiss, looks her directly in the eys and warned seriously "Behave Kaitlin, or else I will just have to tie up your hands again and then I will have both my hands free to roam your delectable body, hold you down and whatever else I want! Now do you really want to have your hands bound again and be at that much of a disadvantage!?"

Kate sighed heavily and whispered "Not really..!"

Bankotsu chuckled and said sternly "Then behave yourself! I won't warn you again!"

Kate noded, then bowed her head.

Bankotsu smiled, let her loose and demanded softly "Now get into bed Kate!"

Kate glared at him.

His said firmly "Either get into the bed on your own, or I will put you there myself! And I won't be so gentle about it either!"

Kate sighed heavily, walked towards the bed, and sat on it.

Bankotsu noded, walked over and stood in front of her.

He looked at Kate and said evenly "Now we can do it the easy way, or the hard way. It's your choice Kate!"

Kate thought "What's the use? If I fight him he will just beat me and do it anyways! He is bound and determined to do this no matter what I say or do!?"

Drake thought back "What are you talking about Kate love?"

Kate thought back sadly "I have a visitor. He plans on taking me regardless tonight! Even when I fight him he won't change his damned mind. Come hell or highwater he will take me...I'm sorry Drake! Please forgive me! I do NOT want the bastard even touching me! But I don't have any damn choice!"

Drake sighed heavily and thought angrily "FUCK! I know you don't want him touching you baby! HELL I DON'T WANT HIM TOUCHING YOU! But you are right love, he will take you regardless! I know it won't be easy! I don't want you beat on anymore! If you fight him baby he will try to kill you and take you regardless!"


She thought back crying "I'm sorry Drake! Please forgive me!"

He thought back"Nothing to forgive baby! I am just sorry you have to go thru it all again..!"

Then he thought back deadly serious "The exchange is set for tomorrow! And know this! That bastard dies tomorrow regardless! I WILL kill him this time for sure! Even your pleas won't save his sorry ass this time Kaitlin! He will die by MY own hands tomorrow!"

Kate thought back seriously "After today, as far as I am concerened, he is dead! I would do it myself, if he weren't so damn much stronger than me! Which reminds me, he mentioned earlier that he has jewel shards enhancing his streagnth, but I don't know how many!"

Drake thought back deadly serious "DAMNIT! Don't try to take him on alone Kaitlin! I will kill the bastard myself tomorrow! Don't worry love, after tonight that jack ass will NEVER cause you any hurt again!"

Kate thought back "Okay..!"

Then Kate cut the connection.

She sighed heavily, looked at Bankotsu and said evenly "You win. I won't fight you, you would just beat me and take me anyways! But don't think I will forgive you this time Bankotsu! I will NEVER forgive you this time!"

Bankotsu smirked and said "I knew you were smart!"

Then he reached over and dragged her into his lap.

She sat like a statue, with tears falling down her cheeks.

Bankotsu layed her down gently on the bed.

She just layed there and closed her eyes softly crying.

He opened the mini kimono with one hand, feasted on her with his eyes and whispered huskily "Beautiful! My beautiful Kate!"

She just layed there.

He lifted her into a sitting position, finished removing the kimono and her bra and layed her back down again.

He then removed his own top, climbed onto the bed beside her, and began rubbing his hands up and down her body, loving the feel of her flesh beneath his fingers.

He whispered huskily "I will make it good you for this time Katie babe!"

She just keept crying silent tears and tried to ingnore him.

He lightly massaged a breast and lightly nibbled her earlobe.

Then he shifted his mouth and greedily devoured her nipple, alternating between biting and licking it.

While doing this he used his free hand to tweak her other nipple and alternated the between that and lightly massaging it.

Afterwhile he began lightly feathering his fingers along the inside of her thigh, making sure to every third time or so lightly feather his fingers up around her sensitive spot thru her undies.

After a while he shifted and got up long enough to remove her undies and his bottoms.

Then he climbed on the bed again and layed ontop of her, grinding his hips against hers.

He leaned up on one elbow and used his free hand to rub her sensitive spot with his thumb, while inserting a finger into her moist cavern.

She layed there silently damning her body for even reacting to him at all.

He then removed his single finger and replaced it with two and thrust them in and out slowly.

He could feel himself growing harder every second thinking about how moist and hot she was.

He whispered huskily "Wether you are actually willing to admit to me that you want me or not babe, your body says you are definantely ready for me! You are so hot and wet...!"

Kate sighed heavily, tears still leaked from her eyes, she turned her head away not wanting to let him see her cry.

She refuses to give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry.

He positioned hisself at her entrance and moved to greedily feast on her breast again.

He reared back and burried hisself to the hilt in her and hissesd in pleasure at how tight she was.

He smiled and whispered huskily "You're so tight babe!"

Then he began slowly thrusting in and out of her.

He spread her legs wider opening her up to him and thrust himself completely in and then almost completely out of her, then he wrapped her legs around his waist.

He increased his tempo and felt her body tighten around him.

She layed there with her face away from him, leaking silent tears from her eyes, hoping like hell he finished soon and that she DIDN"T end up pregnant!

"Hold me!" he demanded huskily.

Kate wrapped her arms around his neck.

She tried to let go when he moved again, he tightened her arms around his neck.

He moved into a sitting position, taking her with him, and lifted her hips with his hands and slammed himself into her as hard as he could and pulled almost completely out and slammed himself to the hilt inside her again.

He could feel his release building and slammed into her over and over again, increasing his tempo yet again.

He yanked her head to him by the hair and smashed his mouth against hers, devouring her mouth greedily as he slammed into her again and again.

Then just as he was about to hit his release, he broke this kiss, layed her back again, gripped her legs around his waist, and slammed himsself fully into her one last time, threw his head back and screamed his release.

Then she lowered her legs and arms and layed still as a board, and he gently lowered himself to where he was laying on her, still burried inside her.

He was again bracing hisself on his elbows so as not to crush her beneath him, trying to catch his breath.

She sighed and silently hoped it was FINALLY over!

He moved her head, forcing her to look at his face and firmly demanded "Open your eyes Kaitlin!"

She sighed heavily, opened her eyes, and looked away.

He said angrily "Look at me damnit!"

She forced herself to look him in the eyes and whispered evenly "What!?"

He looked her right in her eyes and she looked back at him thru emoitionaless eyes and asked evenly "What do you want now?"

He sighed heavily and said sarcastically "Well gee don't start jumping for joy now babe!"

She sighed and tried to push him off.

He chuckled and said seriously "Not yet babe! I ain't going anywhere just yet."

She sighed heavily.

He gently ran his finger down her tear stained cheek and softly demanded "Why were you crying Kate!?"

She looked at him and said evenly "What did you expect!?"

He sighed heavily and said seriously "I tried to make it good for you Katie babe! I really did..!"

She looked away whispered sadly "It dosen't matter how tender you tried to be, Bankotsu! It was still rape...!"

He scowled and demanded angrily "Why couldn't you just give me one damn night Kaitlin!? Was that really to damn much to ask for!? Just one damn night!?"

She looked up at him and just stared blankly at him.

He decideds he had, had enough of her cold shoulder.

Bankotsu said angrily "It was really good, right up untill your damned little comment just now! You just had to ruin it didn't you Kaitlin! You couldn't even give me one night!"

She staredat him blankly and said fiercly "It was ruined the minute you started! Don't you get it!? I don't WANT to be with you! It was NOT love Bankotsu! It was rape!"

He backhanded her angrily and warned in an angry and VERY deadly tone "Kaitlin so help me, if you don't shut your fucking sassy mouth RIGHT NOW! I will make these last few hours a NON-STOP living hell for you! Starting with chaining you naked to the wall and taking you AGAIN! Only this time I will make damn certain it hurts as much as possible! And I will tie you hands above your head as well, so you CAN'T fight me! So do NOT push me again!"

She gasped painfully, held her cheek, and looked away.

He got up off of her and dressed while trying to calm himself down.

She just layed there, with her eyes closed, holding her sore cheek, and hoping he would finally leave.

He threw the mini kimono at her and firmly demanded "Get your ass dressed NOW Kaitlin!"

She picked up the kimono and started to dress.


Warning: End rape scene!!


He said evenly "Now sit down and wait while I have some water sent in so you can clean up!"

Kate sat down and hugged her knees to her chest.

He angrily stormed out the door and ordered that some hot water be sent to her cell.

15 minutes later Kohaku came in with a large bucket of water and a torn blankett for a towel.

She said softly "Thank you."

Kohaku placed the buckett in the middle of the floor, nodedand left.

Kate washed herself as clean as she possibly could, then sighed heavily and redressed in her own clothes, making sure to strap her belt and dagger back underneath her top.


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


With Drake.....


Drake and the others were all at the place where the exchange was to be made in 3 hours.

Drake warned in a VERY angry and deadly tone "When we get there, that bastard is MINE! I will KILL his ass this time! He dies today by MY HANDS!"

Kagome asked sadly "What happened Drake?"

Drake looked at her and said seriously "I will leave it up to Kate if she wants anyone else to know or not. BUT She will be VERY upset and emotional when we get her back! I GARUNTEE it!"

Kagome noded.

Inuyasha wrapped an arm around her and pulled her into his side trying to comfort her.

Inuyasha growled.

Sango noded.

Miroku noded.

Drake sighedheavily and said softly "I'm sorry Kags! Forgive me? I am just frustrated, I didn't mean to snap at you!"

Kagome smiled sadly and said soothingly "It's ok Drake! We are ALL worried."

Drake noded, said angrily "He hurt her again!"

Everyone noded.

Then Drake began pacing angry and frustrated.


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



An hour later....



With Inuyasha and co.....



Sesshomaru appeared, walked up to Drake and asked evenly "Where are Kate and Rin and Rayden?"

Drake answered evenly "Kate is missing but we are gonna get her back soon. Rin and Rayden are at a friend of mine's! She goes by the name of Nala."

Sesshomaru demanded cooly "What happened to Kate!?!"

Drake said evenly "She and the kids were gathering herbs, she sent the kids to safety and stayed behind to fight Bankotsu, and to ensure the kids got away to safety. The bastard kidnapped her and is demanding a trade. Kate for that damn blade over there!"

Drake pointed to the Banryuu.

Sesshomaru noded and demanded evenly "I will help get Kate back!"

Drake noded and said evenly "Bankotsu's ass is mine! He has hurt her in the past and again just recently! I am gonna kill that bastard with my own two hands!"

Sesshomaru replied cooly "He is mine!"

Drake shook his head and said seriously "Kate is MY wife! He has hurt her alot in the past and again just in the last few days! His ass is mine!"

Sesshomaru looked at him and said seriously "Sayaka was betrothed to me upon her birth! Had I insisted upon seeing the mating thru, Kate would have been MY daughter, as such I feel responsible for her! Plus she is like a sister to me even now! I understand you are her husband and burning for revenge! SO I will comprimise, WE will kill him together!"

Drake noded, and added in a VERY deadly tone "But first he will pay for all the hurt he has ever caused her! Then that damned blade of his will be destroyed and THEN he will die!"

Sesshomaru noded and said seriously "We will BOTH see to that!"

Drake looked at Inuyasha and said in a no nonsence tone "Inuyasha, When we get Kate back. I want you to gaurd her with your life! I know you also wish to destroy him! BUT she will be VERY emotional and upset! She won't be thinking straight and will likely try to jump in as well! I need you to hold her back and gaurd her!"

Inuyasha growled angrily and said "NO DAMN WAY! I want a piece of that bastard as well! She is my sister too ya know!"

Sango and Kagome both said at the same time "Inuyasha! She is likely going to need to be held! With Drake and Sesshomaru fighting, you are gonna be the only man she will be willing to let hold her!"

Drake added seriously "Not to mention she would feel ALOT safer with you by her! She has gone thru hell because of that bastard and most recently has been the worst of it! She is going to be scared as well! I need you to keep her safe and comfort her untill I can!"

Then Drake layed a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder and said seriously "Please!?"

Inuyasha sighed heavily and mummbled "Fine!"

Then he looked at both Drake and Sesshomaru and said in a deadly tone "BUT you had better make DAMN sure that fucker pays dearly!"

They both noded.
