Chapter Eight
"So, my brothers want to meet you and Kenji."
It had been a week since Bankotsu had waited the entirety of Kagome's shift to drive her and Kenji home. In that time, he'd somehow managed to take her to school, take her to work, pick up the toddler, and then take them home. He had said it wasn't a problem and that it fit around his own work and school schedule.
Kagome had to admit, she was impressed and flattered. She went from bumming rides from everyone she knew, to her own personal chauffeur (though she would never admit to that out loud). This guy was amazing. Although everything about him screamed intimidating and lethal, he was nothing but a gentleman to her. Kagome liked him, there was no denying that, but she'd been hurt in the past and wasn't about to let her guard down that easily. Plus, she had her son to consider as well.
Kenji was another story. It had both scared and surprised Kagome how well he took to Bankotsu. The boy got excited whenever he saw the man and openly accepted him. Kagome was happy about it, but it also made her wary; if this-whatever it was-didn't work out, she wasn't the only one who would get hurt this time.
At the present moment, they were having dinner on her break. Bankotsu did school work, while he waited for her to get off work.
She hadn't realized the man in question had been staring at her. "I'm sorry, I spaced out for a minute. What did you say?"
Bankotsu smirked at her. The girl was smart as a whip, but was completely aloof at times. "I said, my brothers want to meet you and Kenji."
"Really?"
"They said that they want to meet the girl who obviously has me wrapped around her finger since I'm driving her everywhere. They weren't keen on the kid part, but they don't have a choice in the matter."
Kagome didn't miss the slight gleam in his eye that told her that he always got his way, but she wasn't bothered by it. He mentioned before that he was the youngest, so naturally he would have to fight for what he wanted. If was just her, then she wouldn't care whether or not she was liked. But throw a small child, a hanyou child no less, in the mix and you are automatically judged. She went through it daily.
"Do you….think they'll like me and my son?"
Bankotsu didn't miss the hesitation and uncertainty in her voice. He knew what she meant: Would they criticize her for having a demon's child? Suikotsu would be indifferent in the matter, but Jak was another story.
Normally, Bankotsu wouldn't bother with his brothers meeting his girlfriends; they usually came and went anyway, but not Kagome. He actually really liked her and wanted this to work out. Eventually the guys would accept her, and the boy. Whether they wanted to or not.
"I won't lie to you, babe. My brothers will most likely form an opinion of you upon first meeting. But don't worry. Once they get to know you they will open up."
The man gave Kagome a winning smile which definitely reassured her, but didn't help the dreadful feeling that crept down her spine.

"Wow this guy isn't playing around!"
Kagome sighed as Sango shrieked into the phone. She had just put Kenji down for the night and decided to finish up some homework when her best friend called. The girl demanded that she tell her every last detail of the past week with her "new man."
"What do you mean?"
"Come on Kags! The guy is head over heels for you. I haven't even met him yet and I can already tell. I mean, what guy drives around you and your son around, no questions asked, and waits for you to get off work just to do it all over again?"
"Gee, the kind that helped a girl who was stranded?"
It was Sango's turn to sigh. "Kami! You can be so dense. Ordinarily a guy wouldn't bother to stick around, but this one does every little thing for you. And now he wants to introduce you to the family? That's definitely saying something."
She did have a point though, Kagome realized. Bankotsu truly liked her and liked Kenji. Well, she decided, maybe it was time that she let her guard down just this once.
"Okay Sango, you're right. I really like this guy."
"There's my Kags! If you like him, then see where it goes. He apparently wants more than friendship with you, so give it a chance. But, you had better use protection. One nephew is enough right now. I don't need another one or a niece."
"Sango! Kami, that is far from my mind at the moment. I'm not even technically dating the guy yet."
Sango giggled but then her voice turned serious. "Good, I would have to knock some sense into you if that was the case. As much as I enjoy talking about this new guy of yours, that isn't the only reason why I called."
Damn it. "And that would be? Don't tell me you're pregnant!"
"Kami, no! I wanted to let you know that Inuyasha came by the other day, asking about you."
Kagome immediately stiffened and her aura spiked in anger. "What?"
"He asked me where you were living since your mom told him you moved out last year. He said it was important, but out of respect I naturally didn't tell him."
Kagome sighed in relief. She calmed down a bit; no sense in waking up her son who would worry at the distress in her aura.
She knew Sango wouldn't tell Inuyasha anything. It wasn't his business to know where she was living. It bothered her that he (or Kikyou for that matter) went to her mother asking her about her, but what was done was done. What was so important?
"Thank you my friend. Did he happen to mention what business he had with me?"
"You know that hot-headed hanyou wouldn't bother with minor details. He told me that his father wanted a meeting with you as soon as possible, and then he left."
Fuck! She should have known Inuyasha would go to his father once he saw Kenji. She wasn't ready for the Demon Lord to find out about her son just yet. One way or another she would make sure that things remained how they were now. No one was going to take Kenji away from her.
"Of course not. Thanks Sango, you and Miroku are the best."
"Yes we know. Anyhow, when are we going to meet this Bankotsu?"

Damn Sango and Miroku! Why couldn't they just tell him where Kagome was? This would be so much easier.
He didn't even consider she wouldn't be living at home. Her mom said she and the kid moved out a year ago, but wouldn't tell him the place she moved to. What the fuck? His two best friends, whom he knew he could count on, weren't spilling anything either.
Why were they protecting her? He didn't do anything wrong. She's the one who went behind his back and fucked that ice prick, then had his bastard! He was the one who was hurt, yet they acted like Kagome needed the fucking pity party.
"Inu, what's wrong? You've been brooding since you got home, love."
Inuyasha sighed loudly. He hadn't been home for five minutes before Kikyou jumped all over him. "Keh, don't worry about it. Just go back to sleep."
Kikyou pouted. "You shouldn't waste so much time on my whore of a cousin, love. It's not healthy. Karma always happens and she will get what's coming to her."
"Whatever. I wouldn't even bother with this whole thing if the old man hadn't made me find her. I just need to figure out where she is and then I can forget about this bullshit."
"Aunt Mai isn't a fan of yours, love. But, maybe I could talk to her? I'm not her favorite niece, but I can be very persuasive."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. One of these days he was just going to break it off. "Fine, don't matter to me." He couldn't wait to see the look on the ice prick's face when he found out.
