Chapter 1: Full moon panic
~Sengoku Jedai, a village near Mount Hakurae, night of the full moon~
Bankotsu and several other members of the Band of Seven stumble across a village being attacked by a large wolf with golden fur. Bankotsu smirks when he sees the destruction just the one wolf is causing. There are several bodies lying scattered in the beast's wake, ripped to shreds, some eviscerated completely, none actually eaten, as if the wolf killed them for fun rather than food. Said wolf is currently chasing after a child, already injured, heading towards the apparitions. The child doesn't recognize the members of the Band of Seven, too fearful of the beast getting closer and closer to it. Bankotsu blocks the child's path with a smirk, catching it by the back of its clothing and holding it up for the wolf, who doesn't hesitate to pounce on the terrified child, playing with it as a cat would a trapped mouse before ripping it to shreds and turning a bloodied muzzle to look at Bankotsu. He finds himself staring into icy blue eyes, and notices a pale pink streak of fur going from the inside corner of the wolf's left ear and going down across the face, between the eyes and disappearing into the blood from the villagers staining the wolf's golden fur. From the new vantage point, he can tell that the wolf is female, and he smirks when she seems to recognize him for who he is, backing away growling as he puts a hand in her fur and says, "I think I'll keep this pup as a pet, boys."
The icy blue eyes widen in something akin to fear at his wording, and not two seconds later, a metal collar materializes around her neck. A chain made of the same metal appears in Bankotsu's free hand as she tries to get the collar off, and he laughs, "I guess I said a key word or something. She's really mine, now."
