Chapter 5:
The next morning...
Kitty awoke to find Bankotsu was already awake and had already caught and cooked some fish. She yawned and stretched. Bankotsu noticed she was awake and drawled, amused, "It's about time sleepy head." while looking at her wth eyes full of laughter.She smiled at him sweetly and replied sweetly, "Good morning to you too Ban!" Then she walked over and joined him. He smiled at her and handed her some of the cooked fish which she gratefully accepted. They sat together and ate. Afterwards they decided to spar for a bit.So they gathered their weapons and walked off to an open feild.
At the hide out...
Jakotsu while pacing worridly looked at the others and asked, "I wonder what is taking big brother so long!?"Suikotsu looked at him and soothed, "I am sure he will be back anytime now."Renkotsu shook his head and mentioned, "Come on guys, we better go catch us some fish if we intend to eat!" They all nodded and went over to catch fish and cook them over the fire and eat. Then Suikotsu went out on patrol around the area.
With Koga...
Koga, Ginta, and Hakaku were getting ready to head out again to search for Naraku. Ginta looked at Koga and queried, "Hey Koga, you aren't gonna try to hunt down Catherine again are you?"Koga looked at Ginta and informed determinedly, "Damn right I am!" with determination clear in his eyes.Hakaku looked at Koga and questioned, "But what if she gets mad at you again?"Koga looked from one to the other and scoffed and decreed determinedly, 'Sooner or later she will have to give in and join us! We just got to find her first!'Hakaku and Ginta exchanged a knowing look then both sighed heavily.
Kouga's POV
I thought to myself, 'And hopefully this time when I find that stubborn woman, she will FINALLY give in and join me! Besides she is strong and a good fighter as well! Not to mention beautiful! Hm, perhaps I should make her my woman! It's obvious by now that my sweet Kagome is determined to stay with that wretched half breed no matter what happens! So maybe I will just make Catherine my woman! After all she is beautiful, strong, smart, a good warrior even for a woman, she can see the shards of the jewel too! Yes! I will make her my woman!'I grinned and ordered my men to move out!. The three of us set off to begin the search once again.
Regular POV
With Inuyasha and co...
Kagome looked around, not seeing any sign of Inuyasha, sighed relieved and whispered, "Now is my chance!" She ran to wards the well, only to meet face to face with an irate Hanyou who had landed in front of her."Just where the hell do you think you are going?" Inuyasha eyes narrowed, demanded.Kagome replied seriously, "Inuyasha, I have to go to my time and restock my supplies. I need more bandages and stuff. Plus I have a test coming up!"Inuyasha demanded angrily, "You are staying right HERE! Now back to Kaedee's with you, wench."Kagome yelled, "SIT, BOY!"Inuyasha plummeted to the ground. Kagome jumped into the well, yelling, "I will be back in two days! Now, SIT, BOY!"Inuyasha got up out of the crater, just long enough to get sat again. Sango walked up looking at him and said seriously, "Let her go Inuyasha. It's only for two days."Inuyasha scoffed, "TEH!" Then he ran and jumped into a tree pouting.Sango sighed and shook her head.
Back with Kitty and Bankotsu...
They were still in the middle of sparring. They had disarmed each other, and were doing hand to hand combat both thoroughly enjoying every minute of it.Bankotsu threw a punch at her, which she quickly ducked. Then she jumped in the air, and aimed a heel kick to wards him. He dodged out of the way of her kick, grabbed her leg, and swung her back up into the air. She landed, and just as he was moving in with a kick of his own, she quickly back flipped away from him. She landed on her feet, and they stared at each other a moment. Bankotsu suggested seriously, "Well, it looks like it's gonna be a draw today! Do you feel that?"Kitty answered, "Yeah, a group of demons are heading directly for us."He quickly reached over to and grabbed his Banryuu, and readied himself for battle. She, at the same time, unsheathed her katana, replaced her bow and arrows on her back, and readied her Hiraiku for an attack. She looked at and informed Bankotsu seriously, "Bankotsu! I sense several jewel shards coming!" Bankotsu nodded. They stood back to back, preparing to fight the demons. Five big snake like demons attacked them directly. Kitty released her Hiraiku; hitting one, cutting its head off and killing it. She reclaimed her Hiraiku, and used it to block the attack of the second demon. Bankotsu quickly swung his Banryuu, and chopped the demons head off. Kitty said, "Thanks!" and Bankotsu nodded.Bankotsu sliced his Banryuu at two more demons, killing them. Then he suddenly grabbed Kitty who "Eeped" in surprise by the waist and lept really high into the air, avoiding the strike of the fifth demon. Bankotsu landed, and let Kitty go. He readied himself for the next strike. Kitty set her Hiraiku down, and tried to catch her breath. Bankotsu glanced at Kitty, making sure she was ok.The fifth demon struck at Bankotsu. Bankotsu jumped out of the way and swung his Banryuu down, slicing the demon in half. Bankotsu began walking towards Kitty smiling, not realizing there were other demons ready to attack him from behind him. Kitty looked over to insure Bankotsu was ok. Having spotted the demons, She quickly drew her bow, and notched an arrow. She released the arrow, instantly followed by a second; and destroyed both demons.Bankotsu saw two sacred arrows fly right towards him, and his eyes widened. Then his eyes widened even more as the arrows missed him. He whipped around, just in time to see a demon killed by the arrow.Kitty ran over to Bankotsu, informing between breaths, "There were two more. They decided to wait until you dropped your guard."Bankotsu nodded and said, "Thanks." Kitty nodded. She walked over to the piles of demon remains, and extracted the three jewel shards. Bankotsu walked up behind her. He queried, "Found 'em, huh?"Kitty turned to look at him and nodded then pulled out the jar, opened it and added them to the jar.Bankotsu noticed she was tired, even though he could tell she was trying to hide it. He demanded seriously, "Let's call it a day!" and began to walk off.Kitty opened her mouth to object, "But..."Bankotsu turned around looked into her eyes and cut her off, saying, "We both had quite a workout today, followed by a battle. After all that, I think we have earned a break. Don't you!?" Kitty nodded. Bankotsu aknowledged her, "Good. Then let's go."Kitty sighed and agreed, "Okay." Bankotsu nodded. He hefted his Banryuu onto his shoulder. She put her bow away, and grabbed her Hiraiku. They both walked back to their camp.
With Koga's group...
Koga was running along, when he sniffed deeply and came across Kitty's scent and that of another male. He scowled, then growled angrily.
Koga's POV
Scowling I thought to myself, 'Damnit! Who is this male I smell around MY woman!? He better not try anything!'
Regular POV
Kitty and Bankotsu returned to their camp, deciding to sit back and relax, keeping their weapons easily reachable, just in case. Bankotsu had his back against a tree arms crossed behind his head and was watching Kitty as she bussied herself making the stew.
Bankotsu's POV
I thought,'What is it about this woman? Sure she is beautiful, strong, and smart. But why can't I seem to keep my eyes off her?'I watched her hips swaying enticingly, as she walked and without thinking about it licked my lips excitedly.I thought, 'Damn, she sure has a nice, firm ass; and her legs... I sure would like to have those luscious legs wrapped around my hips. And her lips are so soft, and full...' My eyes went wide.I was shocked at my thoughts. I sat up straight, and shook my head trying to clear it. I muttered under my breath, "Damn, this is what I get for going without a woman for so long, I guess."
Regular POV
Kitty mentioned that the food was done. Then she filled a bowel, took it over, and handed it to Bankotsu. Bankotsu accepted the bowel with a smile. Kitty smiled back, and served herself a bowel. She sat down across the fire. She looked at him and inquired, "So, what were you so deep in thought about a moment ago?"Bankotsu's eyes widened and he almost choked on his food. He cleared his throat and asked, "What do you mean?"Kitty hid a smile. She replied, "Just before the food finished, you were deep in thought about something. I am curious about what it was."Bankotsu looked away embarresed, started to blush, and mumbled, "Nothing." then continued eating.Kitty shrugged and said, "Okay." and went back to eating.The two of them ate in silence.After they finished eating, Kitty stood up, and walked off. Bankotsu began watching her again. She looked back and noticed him watching her. She looked at him and questioned, "Is something really that fascinating about me, that you have to keep staring at me?"Bankotsu's eyes held mirth and he smirked and retorted cockily, "Maybe I just enjoy watching you." Kitty rolled her eyes, gathered some water, and began scrubbing her clothes. Bankotsu took off his top and threw it at her. He declared, "Here, wash this while you're at it." She turned around to tell him what to do with his shirt. But when she saw his bare, muscular chest, she was speechless. Having seen this He smirked. She blushed, turned back around, and began scrubbing his shirt.When she was finished, Bankotsu was napping under the tree. She walked over to him, threw his shirt in his face, and yelled, "Next time, wash your own damn shirt!" She stormed off to sit under a different tree. Bankotsu scowled at her as she walked away. Then looked down at his wet chest, and chuckled.Kitty sensed something and drew her bow, notched an arrow, and walked off a little way. Wondering what was up, Bankotsu stood up then grabbed his Banryuu, and followed her.
Soon after...
Kitty walked to a clearing. She felt the wind pick up and sensed two jewlel shards heading to ward her rather quickly. Knowing it had to be that annoying wolf prince She sighed and grumbled, "Great, just what I need; another arrogant male!" Just as she had finished, Koga's whirlwind appeared. Koga angrily walked over to her stared into her eyes and demanded, "What the hell are you doing near another male?"Kitty became annoyed narrowed her own gaze at him and demanded, "EXCUSE ME!? Since when is it anyone's business but my own what I do?"Koga glared at her and retorted angrily, "Since I decided to make you MY woman!"Kitty's eyes grew angry and she fumed angrily, "You can't just decide to make me your woman, asshole! I am the ONLY person who can decide who I want to be with! And It sure as hell won't be with an arrogant, bossy, male who thinks he owns the world; demon or human! Got that?"Koga glaring at her growled and retorted, "WRONG! YOU ARE MY WOMAN! Now who the hell was that male?" and took a threatening step towards her.Kitty narrowed her eyes, and ordered, 'Last warning wolf boy! I am NO ONE'S woman! NOT YOURS, OR ANYONE'S!' Now, BACK OFF!' She aimed her arrow to wards Koga.Koga sniffed deeply then glared harder at her, and grolwed, "Now the damn mutt is on his way!"
Less than a minute later...
Inuyasha showed up looking pissed as hell with eyes filled with determinatation and demanded, "You ARE coming with us this time, Catherine!"Kitty glared at Inuyasha, scoffed, and retorted, "I don't think so, mutt face! You and wolf boy can both leave me the hell alone!"Bankotsu having decided to stay hidden during and as he watched her encounter with Koga, now decided to make his prescence know and walked out holding his Banryuu. He inspected all the new comers and informed, "Hey, you're all here now. Good, then we can make this official." He walked up behind Kitty, and deliberately wrapped an arm around her waist possessively. He looked from Inuyasha, to Koga and then the others, then back to Inuyasha and Koga and looking Koga directly in the eyes he continued, "Cathy here, is with me and my brothers! So since that has been settled now..."Inuyasha became angry glared harder at Kitty and demanded, "Is that true, Cathy? Have you allied with those murdering bastards?"Kitty glaring from Inuyasha to Koga and back again, responded, "One: even mercenaries are still humans and have feelings. Two: they are my friends. And three: I haven't decided a damn thing yet!" She turned around and glared at Bankotsu for the last part, and removed his arm and moved away from him.Koga became outraged and yelled, 'No way in hell! My woman is NOT with those bastards!'Kitty glared at Koga and yelled, 'I am NOT your woman, wolf breath!'Bankotsu chuckled. Inuyasha snickered. Sango looked at Kitty with pleading eyes and insisted, 'Cathy, please tell me; you are not really considering joining Bankotsu?'Cathy eyes full of determination and face cleary pissed crossed her arms in front of her chest and stood with her feet braced shoulder width apart, looked from one person to the next as she responded, "I haven't decided a damn thing yet, so you can ALL just back the hell off! I may just stay on my own, just so I wouldn't have to deal with this shit!" She sighed heavily and continued, "It appears to me that we ALL have the same damn goal! To destroy Naraku!"Inuyasha yelled angrily, "Not Bankotsu there! He works for the bastard! So does his team!"Kitty glaring at Inuyasha said evenly, "Not anymore."Everyone but Bankotsu and Kitty gasped loudly with disbelief and shock wrtitten across thier faces. Inuyasha stared her dead in the eye and demanded, "What the fuck do you mean- "not anymore"!?"Bankotsu looked directly at him and added seriously, "Just what she said, mutt! We don't work for him anymore! Since he tried to kill us, plus we are now humans again."Everyone gasped again. Koga glared at him and demanded, "What do you mean; humans again!?"Bankotsu scowled at him and responded evenly, "Just what I said, wolf boy. We were brought back to life by some girl named Enju."Kitty relaxed her stance and added seriously, "That's why we have spent the last two days collecting the shards together!"Inuyasha glared at her and fumed, "I don't like it! How the hell can you trust him so blindly!?"clearly thinking she must have lost her mind.Kitty held his gaze and replied evenly, "Because Bankotsu saved my life more than once already; when he didn't have to!' Bankotsu smirked, and nodded. Kitty continued, 'I am no fool! I know when someone is lying to me! As I have said, I haven't made ANY desicion of what to do about that bastard Naraku yet, but one thing is clear! We all want to kill his ass! So why not all join together to destroy him?"Koga looked at her eyes hard and scoffed, "You can't be serious? Me work with mutt face and the zombie?"Inuyasha glared from the wolf to the merc to the woman and yelled, "No way am I working with that mangy ass wolf, and zombie!"Kitty glaring at them both, replied deadly serious, "He is NOT a zombie, and I am dead serious! This way EVERYONE gets what they want. Me as an ally, as well as many others. Plus, we will be guaranteed to destroy Naraku, with all our forces combined!"Bankotsu thought it over a moment then looked from one person to the next and aknowledged seriously, "I hate to admit it, but Catherine actually has a good point!"Sango after thinking it over added, "Cathy is right; with all our forces combined, there is no way Naraku would survive!"Miroku thought it over and agreed. Kagome thought it over gazed into Inuyasha's furious golden orbs and informed, "Inuyasha, they have a valid point. Both Koga's group, and our group have asked her for two months solid to join up. This way everyone would be allies together..."Inuyasha scowled and said, "How the hell do we know we can trust them? They have tried to kill us in the past and have spent their lives killing innocent people!? How do we know they won't try to kill us in our sleep!?"Kitty stared him dead in the eye and volunteered dead seriously, "I will take full responsibility for their actions!"Inuyasha held her gaze and informed, "You realize if they turn on us, I WILL kill you, right!?"Kitty nodded. She added, "And it is the only way I will join ANYBODY'S group. Only if we ALL work together!"determination clearly written in her stance and eyes.Koga thought it over weighing the options, and said, "I want my woman on my team! If this is the only way, then I will just have to deal with the mutt and zombie!"Inuyasha realizing he was out numbered agreed, "Teh! Fine, whatever. But if they try anything, you die!" He pointed at Cathy, while he said the last part.Bankotsu looked Inuyasha dead in the eye and informed him seriously, "Don't worry, mutt; I would never allow Cathy to be put into danger!"Cathy looking from one person to another and back again through out the groups, informed, everyone, "Good, it's final then! We will ALL work together and destroy Naraku! And I mean TOGETHER! ALL decisions will be made together, like a team should!"eyes hard and deadly serious.Everyone nodded. Bankotsu walked over to Cathy. He looked right at her and He complimented her, impressed, "Gotta hand it to you babe! I never would have thought of that!"Cathy glared at Bankotsu and said, "Don't call me babe, you arrogant pig!" She stormed off towards the girls. Bankotsu glared after her, and hid a smile. Koga chuckled, and Bankotsu whirled around and glared at him. Inuyasha snickered, and Bankotsu turned around and glared at him.

We were brought back to life by some girl named Enju."Kitty relaxed her stance and added seriously, "That's why we have spent the last two days collecting the shards together!"Inuyasha glared at her and fumed, "I don't like it! How the hell can you trust him so blindly!?"clearly thinking she must have lost her mind.Kitty held his gaze and replied evenly, "Because Bankotsu saved my life more than once already; when he didn't have to!' Bankotsu smirked, and nodded. Kitty continued, 'I am no fool! I know when someone is lying to me! As I have said, I haven't made ANY desicion of what to do about that bastard Naraku yet, but one thing is clear! We all want to kill his ass! So why not all join together to destroy him?"Koga looked at her eyes hard and scoffed, "You can't be serious? Me work with mutt face and the zombie?"Inuyasha glared from the wolf to the merc to the woman and yelled, "No way am I working with that mangy ass wolf, and zombie!"Kitty glaring at them both, replied deadly serious, "He is NOT a zombie, and I am dead serious! This way EVERYONE gets what they want. Me as an ally, as well as many others. Plus, we will be guaranteed to destroy Naraku, with all our forces combined!"Bankotsu thought it over a moment then looked from one person to the next and aknowledged seriously, "I hate to admit it, but Catherine actually has a good point!"Sango after thinking it over added, "Cathy is right; with all our forces combined, there is no way Naraku would survive!"Miroku thought it over and agreed. Kagome thought it over gazed into Inuyasha's furious golden orbs and informed, "Inuyasha, they have a valid point. Both Koga's group, and our group have asked her for two months solid to join up. This way everyone would be allies together..."Inuyasha scowled and said, "How the hell do we know we can trust them? They have tried to kill us in the past and have spent their lives killing innocent people!? How do we know they won't try to kill us in our sleep!?"Kitty stared him dead in the eye and volunteered dead seriously, "I will take full responsibility for their actions!"Inuyasha held her gaze and informed, "You realize if they turn on us, I WILL kill you, right!?"Kitty nodded. She added, "And it is the only way I will join ANYBODY'S group. Only if we ALL work together!"determination clearly written in her stance and eyes.Koga thought it over weighing the options, and said, "I want my woman on my team! If this is the only way, then I will just have to deal with the mutt and zombie!"Inuyasha realizing he was out numbered agreed, "Teh! Fine, whatever. But if they try anything, you die!" He pointed at Cathy, while he said the last part.Bankotsu looked Inuyasha dead in the eye and informed him seriously, "Don't worry, mutt; I would never allow Cathy to be put into danger!"Cathy looking from one person to another and back again through out the groups, informed, everyone, "Good, it's final then! We will ALL work together and destroy Naraku! And I mean TOGETHER! ALL decisions will be made together, like a team should!"eyes hard and deadly serious.Everyone nodded. Bankotsu walked over to Cathy. He looked right at her and He complimented her, impressed, "Gotta hand it to you babe! I never would have thought of that!"Cathy glared at Bankotsu and said, "Don't call me babe, you arrogant pig!" She stormed off towards the girls. Bankotsu glared after her, and hid a smile. Koga chuckled, and Bankotsu whirled around and glared at him. Inuyasha snickered, and Bankotsu turned around and glared at him.
