"Nothing Suikotsu." Bankotsu said shrugging off his brother and watching Iceheart she looked so innocent and he thought 'why does Naroku want her dead so bad?'
"Hey Bankotsu can I tell you something and you promise not to tell any one?" Iceheart asked and Bankotsu nodded waiting to hear what she had to say.
"My village went to war on Inuyasha's side against Naroku me and my brothers and sisters were the head fighters but then I pulled out after one of our comrades killed Icetree because he believed that we were wrong for what we did. He thought that we should have declared Naroku ruler of our village. I couldn't take that so I went off and fought my own private battle. I lost after that. I hadn't the will power to fight any more I just wanted him to know how it felt when you were fighting for someone you love." Iceheart said softly and she looked away from him into the mountains that were along side her village Mt. Haikiru not far off from there.
"What do you mean Iceheart?" Bankotsu asked touching her shoulder.
"Naroku liked Kikyo but he also liked me. What's fun is I had been dating Sesshomaru when Naroku asked me to marry him. Sesshomaru wanted to slice him apart." Iceheart replied to look into Bankotsu's eyes and see pain for her telling him about Sesshomaru.
"Why didn't you tell me before we started going out?" Bankotsu asked.
"I couldn't because I knew how you'd react when he was traveling with us." Iceheart explained softly as Bankotsu pulled her to her feet.
They began heading towards the village when Bankotsu grabbed Suikotsu to the side and said, "we have to talk later."
Suikotsu nodded and went ahead to spread the news to his brothers avoiding Iceheart as much as possible.
