Chapter 17:
With Bankotsu, Kitty, and Kouga......
They stepped outside the cave and saw Sango still battling Kohaku. Kitty looked at them and informed Bankotsu and Kouga, "This is Sango's fight. Let's get to Inuyasha."Bankotsu looked his lover in the eyes and nodded. Koga sniffed the air and informed everyone, "Stupid mutt is this way." The trio ran off in the direction Koga scented Inuyasha's stench.Back with Sango........
Sango, with teary eyes, said, "Kohaku, please stop this...!" She used Hiraikotsu to block another attack from Kohaku's scythe. He caught his weapon and dropped it to the ground as he cried out in pain, grabbing his head and falling to his knees. Sango, eyes wide at the new development, dropped her bommerrang and cried, alarmed, "Kohaku!?!" She rushed over to him dropped beside him and held him in her arms, rocking him back and forth.Kohaku kept holding his head and screaming while writhing in pain. He screamed, "NO! Go away! I don't want to kill anymore! Go away!"Miroku walked over to Sango's weapon. After gathering it he carried the weapon to Sango and dropped it beside her. He knelt beside her and lay a hand on her shoulder for comfort. Sango held Kohaku, crying and rocking him back and forth. Kohaku finally stopped screaming and fell into a deep sleep. Sango sobbed, "Kohaku..." and she continued to rock him back and forth.Back with Sesshomaru and Kagome......
Sesshomaru and Kagome entered the clearing and saw Inuyasha on the ground. Kagome shot an arrow at Hakudoshi and it bounced off of his barrier. Sesshomaru noticed this and said, "Hn." He saw Kitty, Bankotsu, and Koga run up. Kitty drew her bow and released her arrows, taking down Hakudoshi's barrier once again. Sesshomaru saw this as well and said, "Interesting."Kagome started releasing her arrows towards Hakudoshi, who scoffed at her. He faced Kitty, eyes full of hate as he growled, "You shall pay for what you did!"Kitty glared at him and countered, "The heart, Hakudoshi - or I shall split you again!"Hakudoshi scoffed and said, "It's nearby just as Bankotsu said."Sesshomaru then sensed where the baby was hiding. He turned to Kagome and commanded, "Miko, follow me." Kagome nodded and they left off towards the west.Just then a huge fearsome looking demon A enormous white demon as big as a mountain with purple hair and sharp pointed claws and black souless eyes appeared. Bankotsu saw it and demanded, "What is this!?!"Hakudoshi laughed and said, "Meet Morioyomaru." Then he faced Moriyomaru and comanded, "Morioyomaru, destroy these fools." Koga, Ginta, and Hakkaku were thrown aside by Hakudoshi and Morioyomaru. Hakudoshi chuckled and mocked, "Weak, pathetic wolves!" He then laughed as he stared at the now unconcious and bleeding wolves.Moriyomaru went to attack the remaining warriors and Bankotsu began spinning his Banryuu. Bankotsu, eyes full of anticipation, declared excitedly, "Bring it on ugly!"Moriyomaru attacked towards Bankotsu with a claw. Kitty released an arrow and obliterated the claw. Morioyomaru scowled and focused its rage towards Kitty. She notched another arrow and quickly released it. The arrow again obliterated the attacking claw. Morioyomaru hissed and glared hatefully at Kitty. He went to attack her again and was stopped by a heat blast from Bankotsu's Banryuu. Morioyomaru was completely shocked at this. Bankotsu stood in front of Kitty protectively, smirked and demanded, "Face me, you ugly bastard! I am your opponent now!"Morioyomaru stabbed a claw towards Bankotsu, and he blocked it with Banryuu. Morioyomaru attacked several more times and Bankotsu attacked as well, after dodging Morioyomaru's attacks. Kitty used her arrows to destroy the broken off appendages before they could cause any further harm.Morioyomaru attacked Bankostu with two more claws. Bankotsu smirked, twirled his Banryuu in the air, brought it down and yelled, "Dragon hammer!" The attack lasted a full minute. The yellow and pink flashing of the attack blasted Morioyomaru into thousands of pieces and then vaporized the pieces until every trace of Morioyomaru was completely destroyed. At the same time, Hakudoshi made himself scarce. Bankotsu smirked, walked over to Kitty and inquired, "You ok, babe?"Kitty smiled and replied happily, "How could I not be when I have you protecting me?" Bankotsu grinned, and puffed out his chest beaming with pride. Kitty sighed and suggested, "I guess I had better get to work, I have lots of healing to do."Bankotsu nodded. Kitty approached Kikyo and bent down beside her as she started channeling her healing powers. She placed her hands on Kikyo's wounds and continued healing. A minute later Kikyo was revived, and fully healed. She blinked and Kitty walked over to Inuyasha. Kitty knelt beside him, then repeated the process with Inuyasha. A minute later Inuyasha was fully revived and healed.Kitty wiped the sweat from her brow with the back of her hand. Inuyasha sat up stared at her and demanded, "What happened!?!"Kitty smiled and proudly informed, "Bankotsu finished them off." She then walked over to where the three wolves lay. She repeated the same process one by one, reviving and healing the wolves. Then she stood up slowly and made her way to Bankotsu's side. She inspected him and said, "Luckily, babe, you appear to have but a few scratches." She smiled and continued, amused, "It's nice to know at least not everyone got seriously injured." She started to walk away and began to sway. Bankotsu reached out and caught her just before she hit the ground. She mumbled, "Thanks, babe," and proceeded to pass out.Suikotsu, Jakotsu and Renkotsu finally showed up a minute later. Jakotsu saw the unconcious Kitty in Bankotsu's arms and demanded, "What happened to little sister!?!"Bankotsu looked at him and said evenly, "I don't know; she just passed out. I caught her just as she began to fall."Suikotsu looked at Bankotsu and said, "Let's find somewhere so I can examine her." Bankotsu nodded and walked over to a tree and gently laid her down under the tree. Suikotsu examined her and announced, "She has some scratches, but no major injuries."Bankotsu nodded and said frustratedly, "Most likely she has just drained herself again!" while running his hand through his hair frustratedly. He looked at her with concern clearly written across his face and mentioned softly, "She used her powers and fully healed everyone after the battle..." while once again holding her to his chest.Suikotsu nodded and agreed, "Most likely then."Inuyasha scoffed and said snidely, "Stupid bitch! She should have just left the dumb wolves die!"Bankotsu narrowed his eyes, gently laid her down and angrily stormed over to Inuyasha. He punched Inuyasha square in the face and roared angrily, "Why you stupid, ungrateful, low down, sonova...That "stupid bitch" just exhausted herself saving your sorry ass, half breed! Not to mention your fucking clay pot over there! You stupid mutt! Plus the wolves! Show some gratitude, you fucking bastard!"Bankotsu drew his fist back and smashed his fist into Inuyasha's face again. Inuyasha glared at him and growled, barking, "No one asked her to save any of us!"Bankotsu was glaring at him as he fumed, "She saved your sorry asses because we are ALL supposed to be on the same damn TEAM! Now because of it, she has passed out and probably will be for at least a day, maybe even more! You ungrateful, halfbreed, bastard! The least you could do is be grateful about it!" He punched Inuyasha in the gut, spun on his heel and stormed away, as Inuyasha doubled over holding his gut. Bankotsu then stormed over to where Kitty lay and tenderly gathered her into his arms, then lowered his head to her cheek.Inuyasha stood up and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. Kikyo placed a hand on his hand, effectively stopping him from drawing his sword. He looked at her and questioned, "Kikyo?"Kikyo looked him in the eyes and said coolly, "Calm down, Inuyasha! Regardless of why, she did save us both, as well as the rest of our team!" Inuyasha scowled, but he withdrew his hand from his sword, sat with Kikyo and behaved. Koga approached Bankotsu and held his gaze as he reassured him. "She is strong! I am positive she will be fine after resting." Bankotsu looked the wolf prince directly in the eyes a few seconds, then nodded, and held her closer.Sango and Miroku showed up with Kohaku unconcious on Kirara's back. Inuyasha whirled to face them and demanded, "So what kept you two so damn long!?!"Miroku responded evenly, "After battling for a while, Kohaku passed out in Sango's arms."Inuyasha scoffed. Sango saw the unconcious Kitty and asked, concerned for her friend, "What happened here?"Bankotsu said worridly, "After the battle, Kitty used her powers to completely revive and heal the group...she passed out afterwards..."Sango soothed, "I am sure she just needs to rest, then."Miroku said, "Indeed! It takes quite a bit to heal one person using spiritual powers, and depending on the extent of the injury as well. If any of the injuries were serious, she would be very tired after just a few. How many did she heal exactly?"Bankotsu answered frustartedly, "That ungrateful mutt, the wolves and the miko. That mutt and the miko Kikyo were already passed out by the time we got here."Miroku considered this and informed Bankotsu, "I see...she will likely sleep a full day at least, then."Bankotsu nodded and said, "That's what I figured." he lovingly brushed his lips across Kitty's forehead then sighed heavily.Renkotsu stood up and suggested, "We should find a place and allow little sister time to fully recover."Miroku added, "Kohaku will need to rest as well."Bankotsu said, "I agree." He stood up craddling Kitty bridal style after strapping Banryuu across his wide back. The others all prepared to leave with Miroku carrying the Hiraiku.They set off heading east together and continued on thier journey for a long ways untill they found a safe spot to camp.
With Sesshomaru and Kagome.....
They came across a barrier in the midst of the woods. Kagome shot an arrow at the barrier but nothing happened. Sesshomaru gazed at her and ordered coolly, "Again, miko, and this time, concentrate!" Kagome nodded and notched another arrow. Sesshomaru commanded, "Concentrate, miko; feel your energy and gather it to you, then picture it flowing into your arrow." Kagome closed her eyes and did as told. After a minute her arrow began to glow a very luminous pink. Sesshomaru noticed this and said, "That's it. Now concentrate and visualize the arrow bringing down the barrier." Kagome took a deep breath, exhaled and did as Sesshomaru ordered her. He said, "That's it miko, now open your eyes and release the arrow."Doing so, she yelled, "GO!" The arrow struck the barrier and shattered it. Kagome screamed excitedly, "I did it! Did you see it Lord Sesshomaru, I really did it!" She began jumping up and down in her excitemnt. Sesshomaru nodded in approval.Sesshomaru was shocked as Kagome ran up to and hugged him tightly around his waist in all her excitement. His entire body stiffened instantly and he looked down at her. Kagome felt his body go rigid, and, realizing what she had done, released him and jumped backwards. She blushed and stammered, "I..uh...forgive me Lord Sesshomaru, I just got excited and uh...kinda lost my self...um...."Sesshomaru raised a brow and suggested evenly, "We should get moving."Kagome nodded. They entered into the woods and Sesshomaru went directly to the location of the baby. Kagome was right behind him. As they entered hidden area in the forest, Kagome gasped as she spotted the baby. "S...Sesshomaru over there! That baby is Naraku's heart!" She pointed at the baby.Sesshomaru said, "Hn," and moved towards the baby.Just before they could approach it, Hakudoshi appeared glaring at them and snapped, "End of the line, you two!"Sesshomaru drew Tokijin and moved to appoach Hakudoshi.....
