Chapter 14:
The next morning...
Kitty awoke with Bankotsu's arm drapped possessively around her waist and smiled. She carefully removed Bankotsu's arm so as to try not to wake him and stood up. Bankotsu opened his eyes then rolled over, looked up at her beautiful porcelain face and softly demanded, "Where do you think you are going, hm?"Kitty leaned down and kissed his cheek, then replied, "I am going to start breakfast." smiling at him.Bankotsu sighed, nodded and stood up. Kitty walked outside the cave and found Sesshomaru looking towards the mountains. He saw her and said, "Morning, Kitty."Kitty smiled and greeted, "Morning Sesshu!" She walked around and gathered some of the wood then carried to a good spot and started a fire.Bankotsu walked out of the cave then over to Kitty and announced, "I will catch us some fish this morning." Kitty nodded. Bankotsu wadded into the river and caught plenty of fish throwing them on the river bank. When he had decided he caught enough for everybody he got out of the water, gathered the fish and carried them over to then handed them to Kitty who cooked them over the fire.Everyone slowly awakened. Kitty looked over to where Kikyo and Inuyasha sat together and mentioned, "I see Kikyo has decided to join us after all."Sesshomaru responded, "Hn."Bankotsu looked into his lover's warm carmel gaze and mentioned, "May not be the wisest move though."Kitty frowned and asked, "What makes you say that?" As she looked into the sapphire eyes of the man she loved so much.Bankotsu held her gaze and replied, "Mutt face and wolf boy already argue over the other miko and last night the younger one seemed a bit upset by her being here."Kitty nodded and said, "I thought as much. I do hope the four of them can work things out, though! We could use Kikyo's help. Remember Naraku's human heart once loved Kikyo...She is his heart's weakness. Although the heart is not with him."Sesshomaru turned to face the lovers and nodded.Bankotsu informed every one seriously, "We should find his heart and destroy it first, then him." eyes serious.Kitty held his gaze and added, "True. However, I suspect his heart won't be to hard to find. The baby is his heart."Bankotsu's eyes widened and he questioned, "You mean the baby that Hakudoshi protects?"Kitty nodded and said, "That's the one!"Sango and Kagome walked outside followed by Miroku and Koga. Kitty spotted them and greeted brightly, "Morning all."Koga strolled over looking from one to the other and said, "So the heart is the key, eh?"Kitty looked at him, smiled and answered, "Of course! The main thing is we will need to re-group yet again and then split into two groups."Sesshomaru gazed at her raised a brow and queried, "You are planning to have us wait even longer?"Kitty sighed faced him and answered, "Our best shot is to regroup then split into two groups. One goes after Naraku his self and the other after the heart."Miroku walked over and added, "Makes sense, but how will we know if one or the other has failed or become endangered?" looking at Kitty.Kitty faced him and said, "Because one group will go with Kikyo and the other with me."Sango loped over and mentioned, "We have plenty of fighters, and only four healers..." looking thoughtful.Bankotsu looked at her and agreed, "Makes the most sense to split the healers into pairs." Everyone considered this and nodded.Inuyasha and Kikyo walked over and joined the group. Kikyo faced them and said, "I see where you are going with this. It is indeed our best shot, however ALL of us wish to defeat Naraku, so how do we do that if we are split into two groups?"Kitty stared at her and answered, "Because in the end we are ALL still working together."Sesshomaru consider it and announced, "Very well. Kitty, we shall do this your way. I will however be the one to face Naraku." he stated while looking from one member to the next.Kikyo stated confidentaly, "I can find the heart."Inuyasha informed everyone, "I will go with Kikyo."Bankotsu wrapped his arms around Kitty's waist from behind and pulled her into him. He informed everyone, "Kitty and I will go with Sesshomaru!"Kagome, was sitting by Sango, said, "I will go with Inuyasha."Koga jumped up and decreed, "I go with my Kagome!"Kitty looked from Koga to Inuyasha, to Kikyo to Kagome and demanded, "If you four do not work out your problems soon NONE of you will be going!" her normally wamr carmel eyes now hard and deadly serious.Sesshomaru agreed, "Indeed! We will NOT have you four bickering and blowing this opportunity to be rid of Naraku!" as he also looked from one to the next.Inuyasha scoffed and demanded, "Kagome stays with me and me with Kikyo!"Koga faced him and declared, "I am staying with my Kagome! You mutt would be too distracted by your dead lover to properly protect my Kagome!"Sesshomaru bellowed, "ENOUGH!" while glaring at the two posturing males.Kitty looking at the group declared, "NOW! Kagome, Inuyasha, Kikyo, Sango and Kouga, his wolves and Miroku will ALL go together!" while looking at every one of them as she listed them off.Bankotsu added, "Renkotsu, Suikotsu, and Jakotsu stay with me and Kitty!!"Sesshomaru eyes hard and dead serious commanded, "Kitty stays with me!"; in a voice that encouraged no arguements.Kitty nodded, looked at Sango and said, "Alright. So now we have the groups. Sango, your group's biggest problem will be Hakudoshi. He is a powerful fighter him self and will protect the heart to the best of his abilities!" Sango nodded.Inuyasha boasted, "Teh! I can take him no problem!"Kitty looked at Sesshomaru and informed the group, "Sesshu, and Ban's biggest worry will be Naraku and his guards. I will be fighting as well. But I will be the only healer in our group."Bankotsu looked at the group, sighed and reminded them, "Suikotsu is a doctor when needed. So you won't be the only healer if it comes down to it!" Kitty nodded. Bankotsu stated, "So now we just wait for the others to catch up!" Everyone nodded.Kitty looked from one person to the next and mentioned, "Once we get a location on the heart, Sango's group will set off. At that time our group will head straight for Naraku! AND of course once they have destroyed the heart, they will come to regroup with us again."Sesshomaru said, "They had better!"Everyone nodded and settled in to wait. They ate breakfast and spent the day cleaning their weapons, discussing strategies, and preparing for battle. Just before dark, Renkotsu, Ginta, Suikotsu, and Jakotsu all appeared. During the evening meal everyone reviewed the groups and plans. Everyone agreed to head out at first light, so the wolves and humans settled in to sleep. The three wolves bed down together. Kagome, Sango, and Miroku bed down together. Kitty and Bankotsu slept cuddled to each other, with their weapons close at hand. Renkotsu, Suikotsu and Jakotsu bed down together. Inuyasha, Kikyo, and Sesshomaru stayed up to keep watch.
