Chapter 15:The next morning...An hour before sunrise Kitty and Bankotsu woke up cuddled together. They disengaged from one another and stood up. Sneaking off to the river to bathe, they spent some quality time together. Afterwards they returned to camp and Kitty started breakfast.Bankotsu went around waking up his brothers and ordered them to prepare to leave. Inuyasha did the same with his own group. Everyone ate breakfast and got ready to depart. Kikyo sat outside knowing full well they would all be heading out soon. Suikotsu walked over to Kikyo and said sweetly, "Lady Kikyo, It is a pleasure seeing you again." while smiling at her.Kikyo smiled at him and responded, "It is a pleasure to see you again as well, Dr. Suikotsu."Inuyasha, seeing this and not one bit happy about it, growled, yanked Kikyo up by the arm, and ordered angrily, "Stop flirting and start moving!" as he pushed her to walk in front of him.Kagome, watching this, sighed and stood beside Sango. Koga also saw this and glanced to Kagome to catch her reaction to it. He walked next to Kagome and gave her a friendly hug. She turned into him and returned the hug. Inuyasha, seeing this, glared at them and bellowed, "Hey wolf! Get your filthy paws off Kagome! NOW! And Kagome get the hell away from that mangy wolf!"Kagome stiffned at Inuyasha's out burst then dropped her arms. Koga released his hold on Kagome and spun around. He faced Inuyasha and barked, "Shut up, mutt! You have no right to tell MY woman what to do!" while glaring at him.Inuyasha growled angrily and started towards Koga. Sango and Miroku, who saw this, shook their heads. Kikyo snapped, "Inuyasha leave the wolf and my reincarnation alone!" Inuyasha growled and sat down sulking. Kagome sat beside Sango as did Miroku. Koga stood beside Hakkaku and Ginta while glaring at Inuyasha, who glared right back at Koga.Everyone sat down discussing how best to do things. Bankotsu eyed the groups and informed them, "As far as finding the heart goes...If you find Hakudoshi, you can be sure the heart is close by. When we worked for him, Naraku always had Hakudoshi close to where the heart was."Kitty nodded and mentioned, "Makes sense."Sesshomaru eyed the groups and said, "Kagura said that Hakudoshi and the baby were once the same; they were split and one became the baby, the other became Hakudoshi." Kitty nodded again.Inuyasha broke his glare from Koga and faced his brother, demanding, "How does she know that?"Jakotsu spoke up and answered, "Because she was there when they were split. At least that is what Kohaku said."Sango faced him and said, "Kohaku!? You mean he is still alive!?" hope clear in her eyes.Bankotsu looked at her and confirmed seriously, "Kohaku was still alive when we stopped working for Naraku."Sango nodded and said quietly, "Thank you...."Kitty looked into Bankotsu's eyes and explained, "Kohaku is Sango's little brother."Bankotsu nodded and said, "I thought there was a connection."Koga sat down beside Kagome. Inuyasha glared again at him, growling and demanding, "Move away from her, flea bag!"Kikyo faced Inuyasha and said, "Hush, Inuyasha! Leave the girl and her wolf alone!" Inuyasha glared at the three of them and huffed. Kagome just stared at Inuyasha sadly who was sitting beside Kikyo. She sighed heavily and stood up. Koga also stood up and grabbed Kagome's hand. Inuyasha saw this and bellowed, "Stop touching her, you damn wolf!"Kitty whirled to face Inuyasha and said frustratedly, "Shut up already, Inuyasha! You are the one who keeps running between Kagome and Kikyo! Others are now interested in them, and you are just going to have to learn to deal with it!" eyes hard as she glared at Inuyasha.Inuyasha moved towards Kitty in a threatening manner and growled, ordering angrily, "Shut your mouth, bitch!" eyes full of anger and frustration.Bankotsu instantly jumped up and stood protectively in front of Kitty. He glared at Inuyasha, and warned him deadly serious, "Don't even think about it! You take one more step towards her and I will personally tear you apart!" eyes cold and angry.Inuyasha yelled, "Oh, yeah!?!"Sesshomaru glared daggers at Inuyasha and demanded, "Inuyasha! Stop acting like such a wretched pup!"Inuyasha whirled to glare at his brother and growled, "Stay out of this, Sesshomaru!" Sesshomaru stared him dead in the eye and growled a loud and clear warning.Kagome yelled, "Sit boy!" Inuyasha slammed into the dirt creating a large crater in the once solid earth. Kagome sighed, walked over to Sesshomaru looking him in the eye and suggested, "Lord Sesshomaru, I think it would be best if we leave now."Sesshomaru looked at her, said, "Hn." and nodded.Bankotsu eyed everyone and ordered, "Let's move out!"Everyone grabbed their stuff and set off together to wards the mountains, Sesshomaru, Kitty, and Bankotsu in the lead. They were followed by Kagome, Koga, Sango, Miroku and the wolves, then Inuyasha, Kikyo, Suikotsu, Renkotsu and Jakotsu. They walked in strained silence most of the day. The air was so thick with tension you could have cut it with a knife. Just as the sun was setting Sesshomaru motioned for everyone to stop and announced, "We will make camp now and stop for the night."Everyone nodded. Kagome and Sango began setting up camp. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru stood on guard. Koga and the wolves hunted and brought back plenty of meat. Suikotsu and Jakotsu collected the water. Kitty and Kikyo gathered herbs, nuts, and berries. Bankotsu stood guard over Kitty and Kikyo while they went around gathering. Miroku and Renkotsu collected firewood. Kagome pulled out the pots and started the stews. Kitty added flavoring herbs to the pots. Kikyo began making two piles for the healing herbs. Suikotsu stood beside Kikyo, and Koga stood beside Kagome. Inuyasha kept glaring from Kikyo to Kagome, while pacing back and forth, fuming the entire time. Bankotsu sat on a fallen log with Kitty beside him. Sango and Miroku sat beside the fire together. Ginta and Hakkaku stood behind Koga. Sesshomaru sat off to one side watching the camp.Finally, the stew had finished cooking. After passing out stew to everyone else, Kagome and Kitty served themselves. Kagome took her bowel and sat beside Sango.Kitty took her bowel and sat beside Bankotsu. Inuyasha growled every time Koga started to inch to wards Kagome. Koga smirked and started inching towards Kagome again. Inuyasha glared at him and growled louder. Sango sighed heavily. Kikyo stared at Inuyasha and said evenly, "Inuyasha, do not allow that wolf to provoke you."Inuyasha huffed and sat down sulking. Koga smirked and moved closer to Kagome again. Sango glared at him and said sternly, "Koga, stop antagonizing Inuyasha already!"Koga huffed and sat down sulking. Sesshomaru sat just watching things unfold.Bankotsu, having had his fill of their nonsense, jumped up and yelled angrily, "Damnit, you morons better cut this shit out already! I have had enough of it!" He whirled to glare at Inuyasha and commanded, "Inuyasha, stop growling at that idiot wolf every damn minute!" Then he turned to glare at Koga and ordered, "Koga stop provoking that stupid mutt!" Then he glared from one to the other while saying, "If you two dogs do not settle this SOON, then neither of you will be going into the final battle! Because if you did, it would only weaken us!" his stormy blue eyes held frustration and anger.Kitty shook her head, stood up and demanded seriously, "ENOUGH!" She glared from one to the other and continued, "You two have been at it all day! If you both don't stop, then I will purify both your asses and end it myself! Now I suggest you two start getting along because Naraku will NOT hesitate to use your petty territorial issues to tear this group apart! He will use it to pit you two idiots against each other and destroy everything around you. Then while you are busy tearing each other apart he will kill both of your stupid asses!" her carmel eyes now also held anger and frustration.Sesshomaru stood glared at them both and said, "Catherine AND Bankotsu are correct! Settle this NOW or else I will!" Inuyasha and Koga both glared at everyone around them and growled. Sesshomaru faced Kikyo and Kagome and demanded, "Kikyo you AND Kagome WILL travel at my side and stay there until your group departs! " Then he glared at the two antogonists and continued, "Inuyasha You will NOT get near EITHER of the mikos again until then! Koga the same goes for you!"Kitty glared from Inuyasha to Koga and back again while adding, "If EITHER of you go near either of the girls until then I WILL kick your asses myself! UNDERSTOOD!?"Both of them growled as did Sesshomaru and Bankotsu. They informed Inuyasha and Koga dead seriously, "I WILL enforce this!"Both of Inuyasha and Koga went to opposite sides of the camp and sulked. Bankotsu turned to Suikotsu and ordered dead seriously, "Suikotsu you WILL stay away from the mikos as well! Understood!?!"Suikotsu looked at him and gulped nervously and replied, "Yes, big brother."Kitty added, "Both Kikyo AND Kagome will sleep beside Sesshomaru as well!"Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "Terrific!"Bankotsu said, "That should take care of that!"Kitty sighed heavily and said, "Let's hope so!" She walked over to Sesshomaru, placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, looked into his eyes and said seriously, "I know you are not happy about this, but it is the ONLY way to solve this aside from killing those fools!"Sesshomaru looked at her a minute then nodded and aknowledged her. "Very well, I shall allow it!" Kitty smiled and nodded.Bankotsu nodded and demanded, "FINALLY! Now everyone bed down and sleep, we move out at first light!"Everyone bed down for the night. Inuyasha, Koga, and Sesshomaru stood guard through out the night. Kagome and Kikyo laid down on each side of Sesshomaru. Ginta and Hakkaku laid down just outside the camp. Miroku and Sango bed down next to the fire. On the other side of the fire Jakotsu, Renkotsu, and Suikotsu bed down. In the middle was where Kitty and Bankotsu bed down cuddling together.
