Kagome kissed Bankotsu lightly on the lips as she pressed herself against his chest. "Be safe out there," she told him.
He nodded as he wrapped an arm around her waist and squeezed her closer to him. He bent his head and gave her a deeper kiss. He smiled as he pulled away from her. "I will be, my little miko," he promised. "Don't you worry your pretty little head."
She giggled as he walked away from her and towards the entrance. When he turned to glance at her, she waved at him and her bright smile danced across her face. "Good luck! Hurry home!"
She waited until he had walked through the entrance and into the wild. She waited for the doors to slam shut. Once they were, she dashed across the palace grounds and into the room she knew kept her bag. She did not stop there, though. She grabbed her bag and ran into the weaponry and grabbed her bow and an arrow and a knife. She only had so much time.
Running into her bedroom, she dropped the bow and arrow to the ground as she plopped her bag onto the bed. Pen and paper is what she needed. Once she managed to dig out her notebook and a pen, she sat on the ground and thought about what she was going to write.
There was no guarantee the message would get to Inuyasha. In fact, knowing her luck, it would fall right into Naraku's hands. She had to think about it and choose her words carefully.
Finally deciding what to write, she began putting pen to paper.
"To whomever gets this,
My name is Higurashi Kagome. I am in a castle near the top of the mountain. Please, if you can, find a half demon named Inuyasha and give him this message. Tell him I am all right, but to come for me. I am in this palace surrounded by a huge forest. There is no way for me to get out. Please. Help me.
Kagome"
She read over the words and, satisfied, she went to her next task. Grabbing a piece of hair near the base of her neck, she wrapped it around the knife and cut the hair off. She tied the hair near the tip of the arrow and pierced her note with the arrow.
She grabbed her bow and, standing up, accidentally tripped over her yellow bag. The contents of the bag spilled out, including her supply of feminine hygiene products. She checked her bow and arrow to make sure everything was still intact before standing up and dusting herself off. She glanced only briefly at her stash of pads and tampons before ignoring them and running to the balcony.
She took a moment to search for the spot that was the edge of the forest. Raising her bow and arrow, she pointed at the spot, but then made a last minute decision and overshot her target. She watched as the arrow disappeared into the sky and prayed it would reach Inuyasha.
"What the fuck did you just do?!" Bankotsu's voice boomed as he entered the bedroom.
Kagome gasped as she turned to see him. He made it to the balcony in quick strides and grabbed her by her hair.
"Answer my question, you little bitch!" he snarled. "What the fuck did you just do?"
She dropped her bow and grabbed at his hand. Tears spilled from her eyes. "Bankotsu!" she gasped as he pulled ruthlessly on her hair.
"That's not a fucking answer!" he growled as he dragged her into the bedroom and threw her on the bed. "Where did you send that fucking arrow?"
She panted for breath as she looked around the room. Her eyes fell onto her tampons. Tampons… It's been ages since she's had to use those… Wait…
Bankotsu grabbed her by the neck and hurled her into the air. Kagome grasped at the hand around her neck. "Answer me!" he bellowed.
"I… I… c-c-can't…"
He released his hold and she fell onto the bed, coughing. He began to untie his obi. "I will not say it again," he warned.
Still panting, she looked up at him. "I… I think I'm… pregnant," she gasped.
Bankotsu froze momentarily before his expression hardened again. "Bullshit! Don't change the fucking subject. Where did you send that fucking arrow?"
She glared at him. "With any luck," she spat, "it went straight to Inuyasha!"
His eyes widened in his anger as he grabbed the back of her head again and pulled her hair so she was forced to look into his eyes. "I'll fucking kill you, you little bitch! After everything I fucking gave you, you're going to send love notes to that fucking asshole? He doesn't give a shit about you, Kagome! If he did, he would have been here by now instead of dicking around."
In her heart, she knew he was lying. He had to be. Inuyasha loved her. He was going to find her. "Maybe if you hadn't hidden our trail…"
He threw her away from him and she hit the wall. "Don't use that fucking line," he growled. "Think about it, bitch. You really think a little smoke is going to conceal your scent for four fucking months? All he had to do was go back to that fucking well a week later and he would have been able to pick up your trail. He didn't. Instead, he and his little friends are wandering around out there with their thumbs up their asses."
A week… Bankotsu's words echoed in her mind. One week and he could have found her easily.
Her eyes widened as he approached her. This was the Bankotsu she knew four months ago, not the guy she was growing to care about. Fearful, she tried to move away from him. He grabbed her arm and pulled her closer to him.
Grabbing her other arm, he forced both arms behind her back and tied them together with his obi. Once secured, he grabbed her hips and positioned himself at her entrance.
“Bankotsu, no! Please!” she screamed.
He grabbed her hair and pulled it so she was staring at the wall. “This is going to hurt, bitch,” he snarled as he shoved his penis, not into her pussy, but into her ass.
She screamed as he began pounding into her. Tears fell from her eyes as she begged for him to take it out. He rode her until he came and she screamed the entire time.
As he pulled out of her, he released her hair and she fell onto the bed, sobbing. After a few minutes, she felt him untie the obi and pull her into his embrace. He massaged her head and kissed her hair.
"I am so sorry," he whispered as she sobbed into his chest. "I didn't want to hurt you. I don't want to hurt you. I am so, so sorry, my little miko. It just… It makes me so angry when you think about another man."
He gently pushed her shoulders a little away from him so she could look into his eyes. She could see the pain and regret in his eyes as he stared into hers. Despite what had just happened, Kagome felt her heart flutter. "W-why?" she whispered.
He shook his head and pushed some of her hair out of her face with his hand. "I guess I'm the jealous type," he assumed. "I don't like the thought of someone I care about thinking of another man. I want you, Kagome. You are my life and I can't imagine you in the arms of another man."
She glanced down at their laps. "I wasn't lying to you earlier," she whispered. "I really do think I may be pregnant."
Bankotsu sighed. "That's not possible."
She looked up into his face and saw his eyes closed with a pained expression. She waited patiently for him to continue, but when he didn't seem to say anything more, she decided to asked, "Why do you say that? We have had sex on numerous occasions. We haven't used any form of protection and…"
"I'm a dead man, Kagome," he stated as he opened his cobalt eyes and stared at her. "Look at me. The only reason I am even here right now is because of these jewel shards. I'm not capable…"
"And yet you've ejaculated so many times," she pointed out.
"Kagome…"
She placed her fingertips on his lips to stop him. "I'm just doing the math, Bankotsu," she told him. "I haven't had my cycle since I've been here, which has been about four months now. A woman is supposed to cycle every month. On top of that, I get sick over the smallest of things and I start crying for no reason at all. And I'm hungry… all the time."
He seemed to think over what she was saying. "You did eat more deer than usual," he commented. "And you've been putting on some weight…"
She gave him an indignant look as she shouted, "Are you calling me fat?"
He held up his hands in surrender. "No, no, I'm not," he replied. "I was just saying…"
"That I put on some weight," she snapped. "Which is the same thing as calling me fat."
Bankotsu glared at her. "Look, woman, if I thought you were fat, I would tell you. Besides, I thought pregnant women are supposed to gain some weight. I was just adding that to your list of symptoms, that's all."
Kagome sighed as she looked away from him. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap. I just…" She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and continued, "Being pregnant right now is not a good idea. The only thing that matters is finding a way to defeat Naraku. If I confront him while I'm pregnant…"
Bankotsu pushed some hair out of her face, and then asked gently, "What was on that arrow you sent?"
Kagome glanced up at him and gave him a sad look. "I wanted the others to know that I was ok. So, I sent them a clue."

Sesshomaru stopped and stared down at the arrow. It had landed right in front of him, its tip buried in the dirt. There was a note and bit of hair attached to it. He glanced up in the direction the arrow came, but did not see anyone.
Bending down, he pulled it out of the ground and slipped the letter off. He could smell Inuyasha's wench as clearly as if she had just sent it. As he read the letter, his eyes widened ever so slightly. So, it was her then.
"M'lord," came Rin's voice from behind him. "What is it, my lord?"
Sesshomaru stood up. His brother wasn't far from them, so it shouldn't be difficult to reach him. Though he hated the thought of helping his brother out, Sesshomaru could hear the girl's pleading voice. Besides, the girl's scent was tainted with something else.
The demon smirked, causing Jaken to gasp and begin trembling in fear. It would be nice to see Inuyasha become upset by this other smell.

Bankotsu pulled back the yukata and placed a hand on Kagome's bare stomach. He gently felt around her stomach with his fingers. He really had no idea what he was doing and did not know what he was looking for as he felt around.
He stopped moving his hand and looked down at the woman. "I'm not a doctor," he admitted. "I… I guess you could be pregnant?"
She sat up and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Bankotsu," she muttered.
He looked up into her blue eyes. "The people in your world," he asked, "they know about this sort of stuff, right? You have all these medicines that work better and faster and they're from your world. Are there midwives there as well?"
She shook her head. "We don't use midwives anymore," she told him. "Many of our doctors are trained in handling childbirth and already know how to handle it."
He growled, "I won't have another man touch you."
"There won't be another man," she assured him. "There are women doctors, too. And honestly, I prefer a woman doctor."
He nodded. As a thought occurred to him, Bankotsu smirked. "Now that you're pregnant, you do know what this means, right?"
She looked at him and shook her head. The mercenary could not have planned it out better if he had tried. A malicious gleam flashed in his eyes. "Once you have this baby, Kagome, we'll be married."
She gasped as she yanked her hand off his shoulder as though she had been bitten. Realization dawned on her. "You're still looking for revenge against Inuyasha, aren't you?" she accused.
He shrugged. "Why not?" he asked. "He killed my brethren. No doubt he has killed Renkotsu and Jakotsu. It is only fitting that I avenge my brothers."
Kagome sighed hopelessly. "Do you really want our child to come into this world with revenge in the air?"
"Assuming said child will be able to come into this world at all, you mean?"
The miko gasped. "If I truly am pregnant…"
"There's the rub, though," Bankotsu pointed out as he sat on the bed beside her and leaned against the wall. "I already told you. I'm dead. You think you may be pregnant because you're experiencing the symptoms of pregnancy, but we don't have a midwife or doctor to confirm your suspicions. If you are pregnant, then there's a possibility that the child could be a miscarriage or born dead. After all, I'm dead. I don't know that I can produce live semen, which is what you'd need to have a live child. Correct me if I'm wrong."
He watched out of the corner of his eye as Kagome thought about this. Her being pregnant by him would be the greatest revenge he never thought of. If she were to actually give birth to a live child, that would just be icing on the cake, so to speak. A live child would mean Kagome was, by all means, legally tied to Bankotsu. She would be his wife.*
After a moment of silence, Kagome finally responded to his accusations. "If I am, indeed, pregnant, then you would have to be able to produce live semen. If I remember my reproduction class correctly, it only takes one sperm to fertilize an egg. Once that one sperm has carried out its task, all the other sperm die. So, if your sperm were already dead, they wouldn't be able to fertilize any of my eggs. So there would have to be at least one live sperm there somewhere."
Sperm? Egg? What was she talking about? He stared at her for a moment before a question managed to form on his lips. "They actually teach you these things?" he asked.
She glanced at him and nodded. "Not all schools teach us about reproduction, but many high schools do. There's also a sexual education class for students who are a bit older. They teach all about sexually transmitted diseases and how to protect against pregnancy."
"And how do you protect against pregnancy? Aside from not having sex, that is," he questioned, dubiously.
She shrugged. "There's condoms and birth control pills," she answered. "Some women get this thing put in their uterus and some get a shot."
His eyes widened and she laughed. "People are a lot more liberal in my time," she explained. "Those outfits that you've seen me wear are nothing compared to what some people wear."
He nodded slowly and then jumped as he heard the gate open. Grabbing his Banryu, he approached the bedroom door. "Stay here," he ordered the miko.

Koga had decided to travel with the small group of misfits for a while. He knew he could probably cover more ground on his own, but they seemed to have more luck in finding clues. If they could find any clues, that was.
He and Inuyasha stopped at the same time. Inuyasha growled as he placed a hand on the hilt of his sword.
"What is it?" Sango asked, making sure to stay far enough away from Inuyasha in case he needed to draw his sword.
"Sesshomaru," was his answer and the two humans took a defensive stance.
The great demon appeared to them from the sky in the form of a ball. As he got closer to the ground, he transformed into his humanoid form and lightly landed in front of them. "Is that any way to greet your older brother, Inuyasha?" he taunted.
The hanyou's eyes narrowed as he glared at the dog demon. "What do you want, Sesshomaru? I don't have the time to fight you."
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow. "Indeed," he commented. "You seem to be missing someone from your party. Where's the little miko girl that follows you around like a pup?"
Inuyasha's growl increased and was joined by a growl from Koga, but Sesshomaru merely shook his head. The demon lord glanced at Miroku.
"You, monk," he said. "I have a message for you."
Miroku hesitated. He stared at Sesshomaru for a moment, but could not see any ulterior motive. Indeed, the monk noticed the demon was holding a scroll in his hand. "Stand down, Inuyasha," Miroku said as he approached the demon lord.
Sesshomaru gave the scroll to the monk before pulling an arrow out of his obi. He handed the arrow to the monk as well. "I will not deliver any more messages to you, so you better pay attention to what it says."
With that, the dog demon turned back into a ball and flew away. Miroku stared at the scroll and arrow in his hands. He knew his companions were gathering around him and he handed the arrow to Sango. The arrow had a lock of black hair tied to it.
"Could this be?" she dared to ask.
Miroku opened the scroll and read it. As he did so, his eyes widened and a look of relief and elation filled his features. Inuyasha read the scroll over Miroku's shoulders.
"Kagome!" the hanyou shouted. He turned to take the arrow from Sango, but Koga already had it.
The wolf was sniffing at the bit of hair. "It's Kagome, all right," he confirmed. "It smells like the eastern mountains. Maybe close to the ocean."
Miroku rolled up the piece of paper, which wasn't a scroll at all, but torn loose leaf from one of Kagome's notebooks, and tucked it into his robes and nodded. "Then, we will head to the east," he stated.
Inuyasha and Koga were already gone, however, both running to the east. Miroku glanced at Sango.
"Kirara!" the demon slayer called.
As though already knowing her command, the cat transformed into her larger form and waited for the monk and demon slayer to mount her. Shippo clutched onto Sango's shoulder.
With this very helpful clue from Kagome, the friends headed east.

Author's Note: To explain the little *: According to the research I've done about marital practices in Feudal Japan, it was customary for the bridegroom to spend the night at the bride's home until either his parents died OR she gave birth to their first child. Once either of these happened, the couple were considered married. Well, Bankotsu's parents are already dead, or at least we can assume they are. However, I kinds like the "childbirth = marriage" approach, so I'm going with that.
