It Is Good To Be Kagome

A/N: Let me start by thanking my hentai sister, Rinseternalsoul, for her help in proofreading this chapter. Second, I have decided that I will go ahead and listen to the requests for a continuation of the Yusuke oneshot. I am thinking of adding either IY or Sess into the mix. I am currently working on the Kuwabara one-shot, so know that there is one in the works and I would like to thank everyone who gave me some information on him. I hope to have that one-shot out after the Yusuke one. I will be dealing withe the guys that I know about from Final Fantasy, and I have also been given a great idea for Hotohori from FY that I am probably going to do, so when I get to it, I will let you know. I appreciate all of the support that I have received on these one-shots and for you Kouga lovers, I have started a series of one-shots with him and Kagome called 'Passionate Embraces'. So, without further ado, here ya go. To Sango lovers, If you have read previous stories from me, you will know that I respect Sango. However, it made sense to use her as the bad girl in this fic and a couple others for the sake of entertainment. So, please just go with it.

TITLE: The Blame Game

PAIRING: Jakotsu/Kagome

SUMMARY: Jakotsu simply adores Kagome. He has even taken up the job of helping her plan for her upcoming wedding to his best friend, Bankotsu. However, Jakotsu stumbles on the groom and the maid of honor screwing and when Bankotsu blurts out his indescretion, Jakotsu helps Kagome get her revenge.

Jakotsu grinned and nodded his approval. He looked around and then saw someone that he had warned never to cross his path again. Standing up, Jakotsu kissed Kagome’s cheek and told her to continue trying on dresses while he went and washed his hands. Kagome smiled happily and turned to look at the young lady helping her. Kagome pointed at another dress and asked to try it on.

He left the two women and walked quickly over to Sango. He grabbed her arm and hauled her out of the bridal shop, his grip tight. After leading her from the store, he stopped and turned to glare down at the young woman.

“What in the hell are you doing here, you dirty bitch? I told you to stay the fuck away, yet here you are.” He hissed, his beautifully made up eyes narrowing at the young woman before him.

Sango sighed. “Jakotsu, I fucked up. I know I did, but I am not the only one at fault here. Bankotsu is also to blame. We should never have gotten drunk, and if we had not gotten drunk, we never would have slept together. It hasn’t happened since, I swear.” She pleaded, her eyes tearing up.

Jakotsu shook his head. “I don’t give a shit how drunk you were. You could have had a gun pointed at your head and you still should not have screwed Kagome’s fiancé. Don’t think that Bankotsu has not heard about it either. The only reason why I have not told Kagome what I know is because I know that she loves Bankotsu and is really happy. But, if you think that I will ever let you live this down, you are seriously mistaking. I meant it when I said that you are to remove yourself from the wedding party. You have no right to be the maid of honor.” He said, his lips curling back in a sneer.

Hanging her head in defeat, Sango allowed the tears she had been holding back to fall down her cheeks. She nodded and walked away from the feminine male. She walked to her jeep and climbed in. Soon, she was gone from sight and Jakotsu wasted no time in returning to the shop.

For the rest of the day, Jakotsu helped Kagome with the wedding preparations. Finally, it was time to take Kagome home and Jakotsu could not help but feel a bit guilty for letting Kagome go through with a marriage when he knew that Bankotsu had betrayed her. However, he put a warm smile upon his face and walked into the apartment that Kagome shared with Bankotsu.

Narrowing his eyes at his best friend, Jakotsu challenged Bankotsu to piss him off. Both men waited until Kagome walked into the bathroom to take a shower to talk.

“What is your problem, Jakotsu? Don’t tell me that you are still pissed off at me?” Bankotsu exclaimed, his long braid shaking as he spoke.

“I saw your whore today. She had the nerve to come to the bridal shop.” Jakotsu replied as he examined his manicured nails. He heard Bankotsu suck in a deep breath and then leveled his gaze upon the young man.

“If you don’t love Kagome, let her go now. It isn’t fair to her to run around behind her back with Sango. Let her go to someone who can love her and not cheat on her. We both know that Kouga wants her. Why not let him step in and give Kagome what you are so obviously not willing to give to her?” He asked.

Bankotsu narrowed his eyes. He could just picture Kagome in that asshole, Kouga’s arms, and he would be damned if he lost Kagome. “She is mine. We are getting married and I won’t let anyone take her away from me. Can I help it if Sango is attracted to me? Besides, she means nothing to me and is only good for a piece of ass. Besides, it isn’t like we are married yet.” He announced, unaware that Kagome had opened the bathroom door.

Both men turned quickly when they heard a gasp. Bankotsu’s eyes widened when he saw the tears streaming down Kagome’s face and he quickly stepped forward.

“Kagome, this isn’t what it sounds like.” He said weakly. He looked over at Jakotsu, who glared at him. Clearly, he was not getting any help from Jakotsu.

Kagome’s body shook as she processed the information that she had just heard. Sango and Bankotsu had been sleeping together. Had they slept in her bed? She took in a deep breath.

“Where?” She croaked, her voice cracking with emotion. She had not ever hurt this badly, even when she had discovered that her first love had a thing for men, and after she had come to terms with his sexuality, she supported his chosen lifestyle and had eventually introduced him to Jakotsu, but hearing Bankotsu’s confession felt like someone kicked her right in her stomach.

Bankotsu was confused. “Where, what?” He asked, his eyes narrowing in concentration. He watched as Kagome closed her eyes and then reply, “Where did you fuck her at? Did you fuck her in our bed?”

“No. I never fucked her here. I would never bring anyone into our home and fuck them. Kagome, it was a mistake. A huge mistake.” Bankotsu pleaded. He had felt so guilty for being with Sango, but after that first time, he had become addicted to the adrenaline rush that was associated with doing something so naughty.

“Well, that was very kind of you, Bankotsu.” Kagome spat. “So, how many times did you fuck her, and don’t even think about lying to me.”

“Kagome, please don’t do this to yourself. Just let it go, baby. I swear that it will never happen again.” Bankotsu whispered, his brave front cracking. He could see that Kagome was beyond enraged. He took in a deep breath and began walking towards her, but as he reached out, Kagome jerked away and slammed up against the wall. “DON’T YOU FUCKING TOUCH ME, YOU CHEATER!” She screamed. She slammed her eyes shut and pointed at the door.

“Please, just go. Go to Sango. It is clear that you are not done with her.” Kagome whimpered. She slid down the wall to the floor and began to sob.

Bankotsu was about to go to her, but Jakotsu grabbed his arm. Yanking Bankotsu away from the distraught woman, he said, “Go. Let her have tonight to calm down. You have done enough for today.”

Bankotsu sighed. He mumbled to Jakotsu that he would be at his cousin, Renkotsu’s house, and to call him before he leaves the apartment. Jakotsu glared at the man and said, “I am not leaving her. I will be staying the night.”

Nodding, Bankotsu walked over to the table and grabbed his keys. He glanced back at Kagome and watched as Jakotsu gathered her in his arms and began to rock her. It was funny to see them together. If he didn’t know any better, he could swear that it was another woman comforting Kagome, but at least he didn’t have to worry that Kagome was going to be all alone. Hopefully, after Jakotsu calmed her down and got her to bed, she would be more responsive to him in the morning. He just could not loose his baby, not because of something like Sango.

Once he was gone, Jakotsu leaned back a bit and brushed the hair from Kagome’s forehead. He placed a soft kiss upon the soft skin and whispered that she needed to get up and go to the couch.

Nodding, Kagome allowed Jakotsu to help her up and she numbly followed the young man. Once she was seated, Jakotsu announced that he was going to make some tea and that she was to sit down and relax. While he was in the kitchen, he picked up the phone and dialed his boyfriend’s cell phone. When the line was picked up, Jakotsu said, “Hey, baby. It’s just me. I am going to be staying over at Kagome’s tonight. Kagome overheard Bankotsu confess to sleeping with Sango, and she told him to leave. Can you cook dinner for yourself, tonight?”

Jakotsu smiled and giggled. “Ok, lover. I will see you in the morning. Have a good time tonight and if you do anything, remember to use protection.” He said, his smile warm. Once his baby hung up, Jakotsu picked up the cups of steaming tea and carried them into the living room. He handed Kagome her cup and then sat down beside her.

Kagome watched as the steam wafted into the air and shook her head. “Jak, did I do something wrong? I mean, did I do anything to make him cheat on me?” She asked, her face pale.

Jakotsu shook his head. “Kagome, you did nothing wrong. They are the ones who slept together. The blame is on them, not on you. However, I do think that they are getting off light. Bankotsu is scared shitless right now and he is scared that you will end things with him. I seriously doubt that after today, he will ever look at another woman ever again. Sango, on the other hand, has had nothing happen to her. In my opinion, she deserves some kind of punishment.” He said, his devious mind already working.

Kagome sighed, but was then hit with an inspiration. She took in a deep breath and asked Jakotsu to get her the phone. Once he handed her the cordless phone, Kagome dialed a phone number and waited. Finally, the voice she had been wanting to hear came on the line and Kagome said, “Miroku, we need to talk. Is Sango there? If she is, could you please go into another room?”

When he told her that he was alone, Kagome took another deep breath. “I don’t know how to say this, but I just found out that Bankotsu and Sango slept together. From what I understand, it had been going on for a while. Yes, I am positive that I heard correctly. Jakotsu was standing right there listening. I made Bankotsu leave. Yeah, Jakotsu is sitting right here. Yeah, you can talk to him, hold on.” She said. She glanced over at her friend and saw him smile. She handed the phone to him and listened as he explained in great detail everything that he knew. When he was done, Miroku was screaming for Sango.

Jakotsu leaned over and let Kagome hear what was being said. Miroku had screamed for Sango to get her ass into the bedroom and when she arrived, he confronted her with the information that he had just been given. She began to cry and tried to explain that it was the alcohol’s fault. Miroku forced himself to calm down and told Sango to pack her shit. He no longer wanted to be with her and that he wanted her to leave his house. Finally, Miroku returned to the line and thanked Jakotsu for telling him what was going on. He told Jakotsu to give Kagome a hug for him and that he would call in a few days to check up on her. As they hung up, Jakotsu could hear Sango’s loud sobs in the background. Grinning, he hung the phone up and turned to Kagome.

“I want you to know that I attempted to rectify this situation myself. I told them to break things off or I would tell you and Miroku, but I guess they did not believe me. I am the one who convinced Sango to pull out of the wedding. I just did not think that Bankotsu’s whore needed to be the one to stand beside you on your special day.” He explained.

Kagome nodded. “How did you find out, Jak? Did you walk in on them?” She asked. She really did not want to know, but she had to know.

“Remember that night that Suikotsu threw that party and you could not go? You had food poisoning and had to stay home, but insisted that Bankotsu go and have fun. Well, sometime around midnight, I went looking for Suikotsu to tell him that I was leaving and to thank him for inviting me. I walked into a room that I thought was his, but I ended up walking in on Sango and Bankotsu fucking. When they saw me, they jumped apart and began trying to explain that it was not what I thought. Kagome, I may be a gay man, but I know when a woman is being fucked senseless. I told them that I was not buying it and that Bankotsu had better get his ass dressed and get home. I also told Sango that she was to leave and pray that I did not inform Miroku of what she was doing. I swear, Miroku is a very devoted man, who at times can be a major hentai, but he would never cheat on her. I also told her that she was no longer going to be in the wedding. I told her that she could either pull out gracefully, or I would expose her. Needless to say, she chose to do it herself.” He said. As he talked, Jakotsu reached out and grasped Kagome’s hand. He ran his thumb over the soft skin that rested on the back of her hand and could not believe that anything could feel so soft.

Kagome felt Jakotsu’s soft hand engulf hers and she sighed. How could she have been so stupid. Suddenly, she was ripped from her thoughts when Jakotsu jumped up and told her to grab her purse.

“Come on. We are going to go and get some good food and then we are going to get drunk off of our asses. Tonight, you are a free woman. Tomorrow, you can decide what to do, but just for tonight, you are free.” He announced.

Kagome felt him lift her to her feet and decided to do as he said. After all, she had not had anything to eat since breakfast. So, she grabbed her purse, and they sailed out the door.

Hours later, Kagome and Jakotsu returned to the apartment, both laughing hard and both kept shushing each other. Finally, they were inside the apartment, and Kagome closed the door. She made sure that she had locked the door and then turned to Jakotsu.

“I never knew that you could be so manly, Jak. I have only seen your feminine side. You really impressed me tonight.” She drawled, not caring if she was slurring her words.

Jakotsu grinned. He wrapped his arm around Kagome’s shoulders and whispered in her ear, “There are many things about me that are manly, Kagome. Would you care to find out?”

Kagome gasped. “You are incorrigible. Besides, I am a girl and you don’t like girls, remember?” She playfully reminded.

Jakotsu pushed Kagome against the wall and crushed his lips to hers, their lipstick mixing. When he pulled back, he stared into Kagome’s dazed eyes and said, “You’re right. I don’t like girls, but you are not a girl, you are Kagome. That alone is enough for me.”

Kagome gulped. “But, what about your guy?” She asked, her mind still reeling from the kiss.

“Oh, he probably found something to entertain him for the evening. He probably called one of his other boy toys for a quickie. And before you mention Bankotsu, remember, tonight you are a free woman.” He replied, his body pressing up against hers.

Kagome closed her eyes and moaned as Jakotsu’s lips caressed her neck. She tilted her head to the side and allowed her purse to fall to the floor.

That was all Jakotsu needed to tell him to continue. He allowed his hands to fall to Kagome’s lush bottom and carried her to the bedroom. He placed her upon the bed and then began to strip himself of his dress. He allowed the garment to slip to the floor and then tugged on his panties. He loved the feel of silk against his skin and only shopped in lingerie stores. He heard Kagome’s started gasp and smiled.

“Do you like what you see, my sweet?” He drawled. He crawled up on the bed and grabbed Kagome’s hands. He placed them on his silky panties and felt her mold his cock through the soft material.

“Very much. How in the hell can you fit that into something as skimpy as this?” She asked, her fingers playing at his crotch.

Smirking, Jakotsu said, “That, my dear, is my little secret. But, you know what? Here I am, all exposed, and you are still clothed. I don’t think that is very fair, do you?”

He allowed a small pout to form on his lips, and earned himself a small giggle from Kagome. She slid off the bed and began to slowly strip herself. First, she kicked off her shoes and then slowly unbuttoned her blouse. She allowed it to fall to the floor and then reached behind her to unzip her skirt.

She shimmied out of the garment and kicked it out of the way. Now, she was clad in only a bra and a pair of tiny panties. She shyly looked up at Jakotsu and found that he was staring at her. Feeling a bit self-conscious, she blushed and began to fidget.

Jakotsu could not believe his eyes. Bankotsu was a fool. A giant, ignorant fool. To fool around on someone who looked like Kagome with a woman who could easily pass for a man from the rear was puzzling to him. However, he finally broke the stare and grinned up at Kagome. He slipped off the bed and wrapped his arms around Kagome.

“You are perfect.” He whispered, his cock now beginning to strain against the material of his panties. He bent his head and crushed his lips onto Kagome’s. He kissed her with as much passion as he felt for her and then allowed his tongue to enter her mouth. He stroked his tongue over hers and then rubbed it against the sides of her tongue. Finally, her tongue decided that it wanted to play with his. Upon hearing her moan, Jakotsu brought his hands down and quickly released the clasp on her bra. He pulled it down Kagome’s arms and flung it to the side. Once it was out of the way, he pulled Kagome to him and sighed when he felt her warm breasts press up against his chest. He quietly thanked his baby for giving him a gym membership for his last birthday. He had filled out quiet nicely and felt Kagome’s warm hands exploring his hard pecks.

Breaking the kiss, Jakotsu pressed his forehead against Kagome’s and then stared into her dark eyes as he began to separate her panties from her body. He took his time and lowered himself down to his knees to kiss the tender skin that had been hidden behind the lace. As he kissed across the top of her trimmed bush, he pushed the lace down to the floor and felt Kagome step out of the panties.

Kagome felt Jakotsu slowly kiss his way back up until he came to a stop at her breasts. For an instant, she had to wonder if he even knew what to do, but when his mouth closed over a nipple, all thoughts flew out of her head and into the night. She groaned and felt him lift her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist and could feel him suckle harder on her nipple.

Laying her down on the bed, Jakotsu reached down and ripped off the panties. His cock was throbbing painfully now and he could not think clearly. Oh, well. He would mourn his favorite pair of panties in the morning. Right now, he simply wanted to fuck.

Detaching himself from her tit, Jakotsu lifted his head and grinned. He grasped her thighs and spread her wide open. His eyes were trained on her sex and he felt his mouth water. He had never been with a woman, but at this moment, he did not care. He lowered his mouth slowly to her moist pussy and gave her a long lick.

Kagome squealed. She arched her back and grabbed the back of Jakotsu’s head. He grunted in satisfaction and gently nipped her clit. When she pulled him closer, he closed his eyes and thrust his tongue deep within her writhing core. Kagome cried out, her voice thick with pleasure as he plundered her dark world.

Jakotsu had never tasted anything so delicious. Kagome gave his baby a run for his money. However, her harsh breathing brought him back to reality, but before he could remove his tongue, Kagome’s muscles clenched his tongue and she climaxed, his name ripping from her swollen lips.

She had suffered enough. She grabbed onto his shoulders and pulled him up and pressed her lips against his. She eased him onto his back and then straddled his waist, her core hovering directly over his thick cock. Looking down, she whispered, “Are you sure, Jak? I don’t want you to do anything that you will regret.”

Jakotsu smirked. Instead of answering her, he grabbed her hips and pulled her down onto his staff. Both groaned as he filled her body and then stilled. Finally, Kagome began to slowly move and he was more than happy to help her. He eagerly thrusted up into her firm body, his hands keeping their tight grip on her hips. Soon, their slow pace turned into a frenzied dance and finally, Jakotsu cried out, his voice rough. He pressed his fingers into Kagome’s skin and only loosened up when he felt his pleasure beginning to die down. He knew that she was close, and since he was never one to leave a lover unsatisfied, he quickly turned them over and began thrusting deep within Kagome. As he thrust, he leaned down and began to whisper to her how beautiful she was and how honored he was that he was the one who was making love to her. Finally, her nails dug into his back and she screamed his name, the sound echoing off the walls of her bedroom. He stilled as her body shook from her orgasm and when she had calmed, he bent his head down and kissed her deeply, pouring all of his love for her into the kiss.

After they had parted, Jakotsu refused to let Kagome leave his embrace. He always cuddled after sex. It made the entire experience much more romantic and did not leave him or his partner feeling empty after the act. He hugged Kagome and heard her soft sigh.

“Remember, Kagome. Tonight, you were a free woman and will not have any regrets, ok?” He asked, his voice soft.

“Mmmhmm, no regrets.” Kagome mumbled. She was so tired and she could not keep her eyes open any longer. She fell into very peaceful slumber listening to the steady beat of Jakotsu’s heart..

^*^
Bankotsu glared at the woman before him. He had just gotten off of the phone with a very irate Miroku and he knew that Kagome must have informed the man of Sango’s indiscretion. He shook his head when he heard her request.

“Nope. There is no way in hell I am going to do anything for you. What part of leave me the hell alone don’t you understand? Sango, I don’t give a shit if your life is falling apart. I have a fiancé who is devastated and I need to be there for her. You need to handle your problems yourself. Besides, I have to get ready to greet Miroku. It seems that he has it in his head that he can kick my ass.” He mumbled, his hands forming into fists.

Sango sniffled and she shook her head. “Bankotsu, Kagome will get over it in time. Right now, I am scared to death and I need help. Please, don’t do this to me.” She begged.

“We should never have done this to Kagome and Miroku. Sango, I can’t help you. You are going to have to figure out this one all by yourself. Now, if you will excuse me, I need to go.” Bankotsu replied.

Sango sobbed as the door closed in her face. She slowly turned around and pulled out her cell phone. She dialed her brother’s number and when he picked up, she said, “Kohaku, I made a very big mistake.”

She spoke to her brother for a few moments and was relieved when he told her to come over and that he would get the guest room ready for her. Even after she told him what she had done, he was supportive. She could only pray that she could get Miroku to listen to her once he cooled down.

^*^

Morning came and Jakotsu awoke when sunlight invaded his sleep. He groaned and then felt Kagome shift against him. Smiling, he gently rolled Kagome onto her back and then got up from the bed and then pulled the covers up around the slumbering woman. He walked around and grabbed up his torn panties. Cursing his eagerness, Jakotsu walked out of the bedroom and gathered up his dress and shoes. He grabbed his purse and stuffed the torn panties inside.

He walked into the bathroom and took a hot shower. He wanted to make sure that when Bankotsu got home, he did not suspect a damn thing. Kagome had just delivered her revenge to that cheating bastard, and even if she did not tell him, at least she would have the satisfaction of knowing that she had paid him back for sleeping with Sango.

Bankotsu finally came home a little after nine. Jakotsu was sitting at the table, drinking a cup of coffee while Kagome made him breakfast. Bankotsu was sporting a black eye and he grinned at Jakotsu when asked if he killed Miroku.

“Nope. I had it coming. You know, for a man who claims to be a pacifist, Miroku sure is a violent person. It took Suikotsu and Renkotsu to pull him off of me. But, I did manage to get in a few good punches and I am sure that he is also sporting a black eye.” He replied. He glanced over at Kagome and gave her a small smile. “Baby, I am sorry for what I have done. I don’t want anyone else but you, so will you please give me the chance to make things up to you?” He asked.

Kagome paled for a moment, but Jakotsu quickly interrupted. “I am sure that he has learned his lesson, Kagome. Perhaps you should hear him out and give him another chance. After all, at times men are at the mercy of their cocks. Besides, after all of that shopping that we did, it would be a shame to see that it was a waste of time.” He said, giving Kagome an encouraging smile.

Kagome let out her breath and nodded. Her gut was twisting, but she managed to put on a shaky smile. Jakotsu looked at the clock and announced that it was time for him to go. He and his baby had plans and he did not want to be late. He waved at the couple and grabbed his purse. He walked down the stairs and headed for his car, his hips swaying as he walked. It was good to be him at the moment.

Bankotsu looked over at Kagome and saw a smudge of red on her neck. He lifted an eyebrow, but said nothing. Clearly, Kagome had paid him back for at least one of his encounters with Sango, and he was going to do his damnedest to make sure that she felt no reason to pay him back for any other encounters. Slowly, he walked around the counter and stood next to Kagome, who was fidgeting nervously. He leaned over and kissed her cheek.

“I missed you, sweetheart. Do you think that we can work things out?” He asked. He really did not want to lose her.

Kagome slowly nodded. “I think that if we talk things out, then we can get past this. But, for now, let’s just take it one day at a time, ok?” She asked.

Bankotsu let out his breath and nodded. He wrapped his arms around Kagome’s body and felt her nuzzle her head into his neck. When she began to cry, he held her tighter and whispered to her that everything would be alright.

True to his word, everything was alright. Kagome and Bankotsu spent the next few weeks talking things over and both decided that they would simply move past what had occurred. Eventually, Kagome told Bankotsu about her and Jakotsu, and he merely shrugged. He told her that he could forgive her if she could forgive him and they agreed to put the past behind them and look towards the future.

Now, they stood at the alter and recited their vows in front of their friends. Kagome had asked Jakotsu to be her maid of honor and he had squealed in delight. However, they got into a small argument over Kagome’s choice in bridesmaids dresses, but finally came to an agreement, much to the relief of Bankotsu. He was sick and tired of hearing about it. He and Jakotsu had spoken about Jakotsu’s tryst with Kagome, and Bankotsu warned him that he would only have that one time with Kagome. Jakotsu had shrugged and said, “That is fine with me. As much as I care for Kagome, one time with a woman was enough. Besides, my baby and I have decided to stop engaging in an open relationship and see each other exclusively.”

Finally, the minister told Bankotsu to kiss the bride and Jakotsu caught the eye of his man. His Inu Yasha. That man could do things with his tongue that made his head spin. However, he quickly snapped back to attention as the newlyweds broke their kiss and was announced to the crowd as Mr. and Mrs. Marasuro. Jakotsu handed Kagome her bouquet and watched as the couple walked up the aisle and headed outside to take their first pictures as man and wife.

Jakotsu happily linked arms with his man and walked up the aisle. He looked over and saw Miroku sitting next to a very pretty young lady with long silvery hair. He nodded his approval at Miroku’s choice of date and he winked at the young man.

At the reception, Jakotsu pulled Kagome to the side and smirked. “Well, do you want to know why Sango could not come today?” He asked, his eyes glittering with mischief.

Kagome rolled her eyes. “Sure, why not?” She said. She had not spoken to Sango after Sango had bowed out of the wedding. Now, that she knew why she bowed out, she really did not care what Sango was doing, but Jakotsu seemed smug about something, so it must be interesting.

“Well, she went to live with her brother, Kohaku after Miroku kicked her out of their house. She lived there for a few months, and met some guy named Naraku Onigumo. Anyways, after a few months, she caught him screwing around on her and she packed up and left for the Americas. Kohaku told me that she has decided to take some time and get her act together. If you ask me, it is about damn time.” He said, crossing his arms.

Kagome nodded and smiled at Kouga when he approached with his new girlfriend, Ayame. After kissing her cheek, Kouga ducked a playful punch that Bankotsu had thrown at him and said, “Hey, she owed me that kiss. After all of the years I have been chasing her, it was only a matter of time before my efforts paid off.”

The happy couple laughed as Ayame slapped Kouga upside his head and then led him off, muttering about owing him something. Apparently, someone was about to get it.

Finally, it was time for the couple to leave on their honeymoon and as Bankotsu and Kagome ran for the car, they were assaulted by birdseed. She refused to have rice thrown, afraid that it would hurt the birds, so instead, she accepted Jakotsu’s suggestion of birdseed. Before climbing into the car, Kagome tossed her bouquet and it just so happened that it was Jakotsu who caught the bouquet.

As the couple drove away, Jakotsu hastily wiped a tear from his eye and sighed. Always a bridesmaid, and hopefully, soon to be the bride.
