Chapter 10:
Chow time...
After the stew had finished, Kagome scooped up a bowel walked over to Bankotsu, held it out and and mentioned to him, "Cathy should at least try to eat."Bankotsu nodded, took the bowel, stood up, walked over to and entered the cave. He stated, "Hey there fuzz ball, she needs to eat."Kirara mewled jumped up and nudged Kitty to wake her up. Kitty stirred looked at Kirara and queried, "Kirara? What are you doing here?"Kirara mewled. Bankotsu mentioned, amused, "Apparently, she is your new bodyguard."Kitty laughed, snuggled Kirara loosely, and informed her happily, "I have missed you too, girl!" Kirara mewled happily. Kitty then carefully placed her beside herself and looked up at Bankotsu, who stood in front of her. She smiled at him. Bankotsu placed the bowel down. He helped Kitty sit up, and handed her the bowel. She smiled and said, "Thanks, Ban."He grunted and suggested evenly, "You should try to eat to keep up your strength."Kitty nodded and ate the food, then set the bowel down. She looked over at Bankotsu and said, "You know, Ban, you don't have to stay here if you don't want to." He sighed heavily. Kitty added, "I refuse to be a burden to anyone." Then she laid back down, and cuddled Kirara really closely.Bankotsu sighed heavily, and quipped, "I never said you were a burden."Kitty looked at him a little sad and replied softly, "I sure feel like one! I hate being immobilized."Bankotsu looked into her beautiful amber eyes, chuckled, and responded amused, "It hasn't even been a full day yet and you're bored already, eh, babe?"Kitty replied frustratedly, "You know it! I hate not being able to move. I hate being sick, or wounded. Period."Bankotsu chuckled and said soothingly, "Relax, Sesshomaru should return soon enough and then you will get better much faster."Kitty sighed heavily and exclaimed, "Ugh, I hope so!"Bankotsu walked over, leaned down and gave her a brief kiss on the lips, and suggested, "Sleep now, my little vixen." Then he gathered the bowel stood up and left the cave.
Outside the cave...
Bankotsu stepped over to and handed the bowel to Kagome and informed her, "She ate the entire bowel and is now sleeping again."Kagome accepted the empty bowel, nodded and answered, "That's good. Now let's just hope she sleeps well enough tonight."Koga grinned slyly and suggested smugly, "I could always sleep by her to keep her warm." amusement in his eyes.Bankotsu whirled to face him and looked him dead in the eye. He informed him seriously, "That is NOT going to happen, wolf boy! She is MY woman! I will be the one to keep her warm."Inuyasha snorted and suggested, "Give it up already, Koga! Just run back to Ayame, IF she is even willing to still have you."Koga scoffed and retorted, "Forget it, mutt face! Maybe I will just sleep beside my beautiful Kagome"; as he turned his gaze to Kagome.Inuyasha jumpped to his feet, glaring at Koga. He growled and yelled, "No way in Hell, wolf!" anger evident in his golden orbs.Kagome sighed heavily and while looking from one to the other, stated dead seriously, "The ONLY one sleeping by me tonight is Sango! Now BOTH of you shut up!"Inuyasha and Koga sat down, and continued to glare at each other. Kagome and Sango decided to proceed to bed down with their backs to each other. Miroku stretched out next to the fire. Suikotsu was on guard duty for the night. Bankotsu chuckled and mentioned evenly, "Night, all." He winked at the group as he said this then spun around and walked over to, and into the cave.
With Kitty...
Bankotsu glanced over and saw the "fuzz ball" still cuddled to his lover, and sighed heavily. He approached the cat demon, staring at it. He said evenly, "Okay, fuzz ball, you can stay for tonight but you gotta stay on your side"; as he gently but firmly pushed the cat to a new spot so he could lay beside his lover. He lay down beside Kitty, stretched out, and wrapped his arm around her waist, laying his head on her chest. Kitty sighed in contentment, and instinctively wrapped her arms around him. Bankotsu smiled to himself, and held her close. He closed his eyes and was asleep in minutes.Kirara mewled and moved to then snuggled by their heads.
The next morning...
Bankotsu woke up, and stretched. Kitty yawned, and said, "Morning, Ban." Bankotsu moved to a seated position and gently pulled her into his lap, and kissed the top of her head. She snuggled into him, and queried, "Sleep well?"He gazed at her and his eyes softened as he replied, "Yeah, you?"She responded, "I always do when you hold me."He smiled, and informed her, "Suikotsu will be wanting to sleep soon; guess I should go relieve him."Kitty sighed, and said, "Okay"; and hugged him. Bankotsu hugged her back, then kissed her passionately; which she gladly returned. He broke the kiss, and helped her lay back down then stood up. She looked at him and said, "See ya later." He nodded and walked out of the cave.
About 20 minutes later...
Kagome brought in a bowl of berries and nuts. She greeted her friend, "Morning, Cathy; here, you should eat"; as she held out the bowel.Kitty smiled, and responded, "Morning, Kagome, and thanks"; as she accepted the bowel gratefully. Kagome nodded and sat down, watching Kitty eat. Kitty finished then handed her back the bowel and complained, "Man, I am so bored."Kagome laughed, and suggested, "I bet! Maybe I can find something for you to do." Kitty's eyes lit up, and she smiled.Kagome walked out of the cave, and came back with Sango. Sango walked over to Kitty and questioned, "Hey Cathy, I hear you are already bored?"Kitty nodded and looked at her and replied, "You know me- always on the move."Sango laughed, and agreed, "Yup. I remember when we were training even after father told us to stop and rest you still had to get a few more minutes in before he made you stop."Kitty smiled, and added, "Yup, I like being in the open and moving around."Kagome suggested, "We could have one of the guys carry you out into the fresh air. But, you have to promise not to do anything to reopen your arm! AND if you start feeling sick, you have to tell us immediately."Kitty looked at Kagome, smiled, and nodded her agreement. Sango mentioned, "Alright, I will set up a spot for you under the tree then."Kitty looked at Sango, smiled, and said, "Thanks."Sango smiled, nodded and left. Kagome went outside, and a minute later, she came back with Inuyasha in tow. She looked at him and requested, "Inuyasha, would you please carry Cathy out to the tree?" Inuyasha grumbled, then gently lifted Cathy and carried her outside to the tree.
Outside the cave...
Inuyasha carried Kitty over to the tree, and gently set her down on the blanket Sango had set up. Kitty looked at Inuyasha, smiled, and said, "Thanks Inuyasha."Inuyasha mumbled, "Welcome"; and walked away. He sat back down by the fire and Kagome sat next to him. Sango sat with Kirara in her lap, next to Kagome. Suikotsu was sleeping under another tree. Miroku scooted closer to Sango. Hakkaku, and Koga, looked up and noticed Cathy under the tree, and walked over to and joined her.
Hakkaku smiled at her and mentioned, "Hi, Cathy, how ya feeling?"Kitty looked at Hakkaku, smiled, and responded, "Better, thanks, and you?"Hakkaku smiled, and answered, "I am good." Cathy smiled and nodded.Koga casually slung an arm over her shoulder, smiled at her and stated, "Good to see you are healing fast, babe."Kitty used her good arm to remove Kouga's, glared at him, and yelled, "Hey Casanova, keep your hands to yourself!" Koga chuckled, and inched a tad closer. Kitty glared, and warned him, "I may be injured, but I can still purify your ass, wolf boy!"Koga snickered, but backed off. Sango walked over, scowling at Koga and demanded, "Leave her be, you two!" Koga looked at Sango a minute, then the wolves went back to sitting by the rocks. Kirara ran over too, and curled up into a tight little ball in Kitty's lap.
1 hour before sunset...
Bankotsu strolled into the camp, and saw Kitty sitting beneath a tree. He stormed over looked into her eyes and queried, "Just what do you think you're doing?"Kitty looked up at him and replied, "I needed some fresh air."Bankotsu said, "How did you get out here? It better not have been..." starting to get annoyed at the thought of "wolf boy" holding her.Kitty noticed this and responded, "Inuyasha was kind enough to carry me."Bankotsu sighed and stated, "Well, at least that's better than wolf boy! Next time, ask me, and I will be more than happy to."Kitty smiled, and nodded. She questioned, "So, any news?"Bankotsu sat beside her, and responded, "Nothing yet." as he ste his Banryuu down close to him. Kitty nodded. Kagome walked over, and placed bowels of food in front of them. They nodded, said thanks, and ate.Kitty mentioned, "At least I am not stuck lying down anymore."Bankotsu gazed into her eyes, smirked, and suggested, "I can think of a rather enjoyable way to pass the time laying down." with a suggestive look in his eyes.Kitty held his gaze and grinned, and replied, "Me too! BUT that wasn't what I meant."Bankotsu held her gaze, chuckled, and whispered huskily, "As well as other ways, that I KNOW you enjoy!"Kitty smiled, leaned over, kissed him, and whispered huskily, "That WE enjoy!" Bankotsu chuckled, gently pulled her into his lap, and began tugging her bottom lip with his teeth. She sighed, and opened to him, and he thrust his tongue into her mouth, capturing hers. Their tongues dueled in a battle for dominance, which eventually Bankotsu won. He pulled back breaking the kiss. Kitty snuggled into his chest, and smiled.Miroku, who had watched their little exchange, cleared his throat loudly and grinned his perverted grin. Bankotsu stared at the others.Kagome looked at the group and questioned, "I wonder when Sesshomaru will get back?"Inuyasha snorted and retorted, "Most likely when he damn well feels like it!"
2 minutes later...
Sesshomaru walked into the camp then gazed over to where Cathy was sitting and said, "Cathy, I see you are up and about already."Kitty gazed at him and replied, "I didn't walk, so don't worry. Inuyasha carried me out here, because I asked."Sesshomaru walked over and thrust a flower at Cathy. He commanded, "Eat! It will eradicate the rest of the miasma." Kitty nodded, took the flower, and ate it.Fifteen minutes later, Bankotsu stood up with Kitty in his arms. Kitty implored him, "Put me down, Ban, I will be fine now." Bankotsu gently deposited her on her feet and she stood up. She placed a brief kiss on Bankotsu's lips, then turned and hugged Sesshomaru. She said, "Thank you."Sesshomaru nodded, stared into her eyes and ordered, "Now go and rest. We will set out at first light." Kitty nodded, and bid goodnight to everyone. Bankotsu picked her up bride style, and carried her into the cave.Everyone else settled in for the night.
Inside the cave...
Bankotsu smiled, and gently lowered Kitty to her feet. Kitty wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him fully on the lips. He smirked, placed his hands on her hips, and drew her flush against him. She kissed his neck, and jawline. He captured her mouth in a hot, possessive kiss, and started to undress her. She slid off his shirt, and started to work at his pants. He broke the kiss, chuckled, and purred huskily, "Not so fast, babe. I plan on taking my time with you." She smiled enticingly. He laid her back on the blanket, and began trailing kisses all over her collar bone, neck, and naked breasts. He worked his way back up to her mouth, and they matched each other's passion.
A few hours later...
They lay entwined together; sated, happy; and drifted off to sleep. The others outside the cave had been sleeping for a while now.
