Last Time:

"She went back..." Inuyasha said slowly, "And now, since the well is destroyed..."

"She can't get back here," Sesshomaru finished for him.

Chapter 7

Bankotsu fell to his knees by the now destroyed well, heartbreak written all over his face. Jakotsu came and wrapped his brother in a hug, tears streaming down his own face. The rest of the group looked at the well in sadness. They had all grown fond of Kagome, and hadn't wanted her to leave. Eventually, they made their way back to the castle, and explained to Lord Inu Taisho and Lady Izayoi what happened. Lady Izayoi burst into tears, sadness making her heart hurt. Lord Inu Taisho was sad also, and wrapped his arms around Lady Izayoi.

"Well," he said, "There isn't anything we can do now, except hope that maybe she will be able to come back, like before. We may just have to wait for awhile..."

"I have a favor to ask you, Lord Inu Taisho," Bankotsu said.

"Of course."

"I promised I would wait for Kagome forever, but I need your help to do that..."

Kagome stood up at the bottom of the well, blinking in confusion. She remembered a demon coming for her...then falling...into the well! Kagome quickly looked up and gasped as she saw the familiar roof over the well. She quickly climbed out and jumped back in. She landed with a hard thump. No light surrounded her, the well had blocked off the past. She sat down, still inside the well, and cried.

Why, she thought to herself, right when I had decided to stay, right when I had found the man I want to be with. Is it my destiny to always be unhappy?

Eventually, Kagome had no tears left. Sighing, she stood up and climbed out of the well. She went inside the house, greeted by her family. They all looked at her in shock when she again burst into tears. Finally, Kagome managed to get her story out to her family. Her mother was sympathetic, and took Kagome upstairs to bed. Kagome sighed again.

I'll try to go back tomorrow, she promised herself, drifting off to sleep.

Three Months Later

Kagome had tried every single day for three months to get the well to open for her, without success. She tried one more time before it was time for her appointment. Again, nothing happened. Kagome sighed and climbed out, heading towards the car. She knew something was wrong with her but didn't know what it was. She was gaining weight, and was eating a lot, but she also felt sick most of the time. Her mother had grown concerned and had made an appointment for her to see a doctor.

Kagome sat on the examination table nervously, waiting for the doctor to come back and tell her the results of her tests. She was still in the paper gown she had been told to change into. The doctor came bustling in, looking at her chart.

"Well," the doctor started, "I know what is wrong, Miss Higarashi."

Kagome fidgeted, "Okay, what is it?"

"You are three months pregnant."

Kagome felt her mouth drop open in shock. Not once during the three months had she imagined that she could be pregnant. Suddenly it seemed obvious, her missed periods, the nausea, the gaining weight.

"So, there are several things we need to do," the doctor said, "First, you need to start taking some prenatal vitamins, I'll get you a prescription, and you will have to have another checkup in about a month. Around that time, we can schedule the ultrasound..."

Kagome barely paid any attention to what the doctor was saying. Her hand went to her stomach, awe written on her face.

I'm going to have a baby, she thought, still shocked, I'm going to have Bankotsu's baby. Even...even if I never see him again, at least I will have this precious gift.

The months went by and Kagome kept growing in size. She had the ultrasound, and found out that she was having a little girl. She was still sad that she couldn't go back through the well, but tried to make herself happier, for the baby's sake. Her mother supported her without a second thought.

Kagome walked down the street, holding a couple of grocery bags in her hands. It was freezing out, and Kagome was puffing slightly. Her belly was so large she couldn't see her feet. The doctor told her she was getting close to her time. Suddenly, one of the bags ripped and the contents went rolling everywhere down the sidewalk. Kagome sat down on the curb abruptly, letting out a string of curses.

"Sorry, little one," Kagome said, rubbing her belly, "You didn't hear that."

Kagome let out a sigh of frustration as she felt tears come to her eyes.

"Dammit, its cold and I'm tired, and I can't even carry groceries without something going wrong!"

She was too busy ranting to notice a figure coming up behind her.

"And stupid hormones are making me cry all the time, and I'm huge and..."

"And you never looked better," a deep voice interrupted her.

Kagome let out a gasp and turned to look behind her. Standing behind her was Bankotsu, a smile on his face, looking the exact same as when she had left him. Kagome blinked then shook her head, wondering if hallucinating was a part of pregnancy. Slowly, and very clumsily, she got to her feet. She took a step forward and put her hand on his arm.

"Bankotsu..." she whispered, "Is it really you?"

Bankotsu gave a smirk, then wrapped her up in his arms. Kagome started crying again, clinging to him as if he would disappear at any moment. Finally, she let go and stepped back, wiping the tears from her face.

"But," she said, "I don't understand, you're in this time...how?"

"I'll explain when I get you home," he answered.

He raised his hand and almost immediately a limo came into sight. Kagome was stunned into silence as he helped her in.

"Take us home, Jeff," Bankotsu said to the driver.

The driver let out a nod and pulled away. Not too long afterwards, they drove past a gate into a long sweeping driveway. Kagome let out a gasp as the limo stopped in front of a huge mansion.

"This is where you live?" Kagome asked, incredulous.

"Well," Bankotsu replied, "I'm not the only one, come on."

Kagome followed him up the stairs to the large doorway. Stepping inside, she let out a gasp. The place was huge!

"Kagome!"

"Kagome, you're here!"

Kagome face broke into a grin as she saw Jakotsu running towards her. Slightly behind him was a women, running towards her also. Kagome blinked.

"Inukira?" Kagome asked, "Is that really you?"

Inukira grinned as her and Jakotsu gave her hugs, "Yep, I've grown since you last saw me huh?"

Kagome laughed, "Yeah, you sure have!"

Soon after, more people came into the large entrance hall. Inuyasha and Kikyo came, each giving her a hug, making comments on her size. Lord Inu Taisho and Lady Izayoi came after them. Lady Izayoi was crying with happiness. Kagome was feeling overwhelmed. Tears were running down her face as she was greeted warmly.

"Where's Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked, noticing there was someone missing.

Inuyasha smirked, "He'll be down soon, he's a little busy with his wife, they are trying to have another baby."

Kagome blinked, "Wait...another baby? He's already had one? Really? Wow, who is he married to? I can't wait to meet her..."

"I think you already have, before you started messing with the past," Sesshomaru's voice came down the stairs.

Kagome looked up at him. Standing by him was a young looking women with a little girl standing slightly behind her. The little girl looked like the women, except she had silver hair, amber eyes, and two white dog ears. Kagome's eyes widened as it dawned on her. The young women looked exactly like an older version of Rin.

"Rin?" Kagome asked, suprised.

The young women smiled, "Yes, I am Rin. I have heard a lot about you. From what I'm told, you are the reason that me and Sesshomaru are together."

Kagome looked confused, "I don't see how..."

"You told me all about myself from before," Sesshomaru said, "You also mentioned her. Well, on one of my trips, I happened to run into her, before she got attacked by wolves. I took her into my care, and eventually fell in love with her."

Kagome clapped her hands together, "That is so wonderful!"

Sesshomaru's eyes went down to her bulging belly, "So, it seems like you are about to have a baby, who is the father?"

Everyone turned to look at Kagome. Kagome looked puzzled. Who else's would it be? And why would he be asking...

"Oh," Kagome said, finally getting it, "Oh! No! It is Bankotsu's. I came back through the well about 9 months ago, and I was already pregnant."

Relief was evident on Bankotsu's face. He had thought it was his, but it was nice to be sure.

"I still don't understand," Kagome said finally, "I mean, Rin, Jakotsu and Bankotsu are human. How are you all alive now?"

"Well," Bankotsu started, "When you disappeared again, I went to Lord Inu Taisho and asked him if he would exchange blood with me, so that I could live for as long as he does. I knew that I would eventually meet with you again if I was patient. Jakotsu decided to do the same, since he wanted to see you as well. And, of course, Rin exchanged with Lord Sesshomaru."

Kagome lept into Bankotsu's arms, happiness written all over her face. Kagome stood back and looked up at him.

"By the way," Kagome said, "We are having a girl. And soon, my water just broke."

Needless to say, the next few hours were hectic. All of them joined her at the hospital. There were many startled looks at the strange appearance of many of them. Inuyasha, Kikyo and Rin's daughter wore caps to hide their ears. Several hours later, Kagome was holding her new baby in her arms, Bankotsu sitting next to her.

"So," Bankotsu said, "What are we going to name her?"

"I was thinking Aiko." Kagome responded.

"Little love," Bankotsu said, "How fitting."
