Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha only my character Leiko.
Years have past and a sweet girl and her sweet brother had changed. No more were they so sweet and harmless.
Kyokotsu and Leiko had left the world behind. They slaughtered their own village not out of spite or hatred. Merely for the enjoyment of it.
Now wandering the country of Japan, the siblings brought terror to villages of all sizes and stature. Kyokotsu has been thought many times to be a demon. Leiko as his human ward.
The two looked nothing alike. While, Kyokotsu stood enormously tall and bulky. Leiko stood only at 5'5" with a slender build meant for speed.
The older sibling needed only his bare hands to render a village helpless, while Leiko herself, stronger than many a demon, mostly relied on a broad sword more than half her height and the width of her hand.
They traveled together for many years with the sole purpose to kill and soak in a blood bath. A young man would soon bring the duo to that and much more.
Leiko yawned having once more cut down a village of no importance. Her brother behind her rested against a tree. "This is becoming repetitive. I want an actual challenge." The mint green haired girl whined. Kyokotsu made no reply to this as his sister stalked through the village looking for survivors.
"With every raid we become stronger, it's not a wonder why you get bored." Kyokotsu commented as Leiko cleaned her blade and let it rest on her shoulder. Her Saiko glinted in the sunlight while she sighed. "Not only is there little to do in the first place." She groaned then slumped to the ground pouting.
Bankotsu grinned to Jakotsu as the sight of a blood soaked village came into view. "Looks like someone made it here before us." Jakotsu said with an irritated sigh. "Well, then we can go after who ever destroyed the village." He said optimistically causing Jakotsu to snort.
That is before a thought came to him. Oh! What if whoever slaughtered the village is real cute! I can relish in his blood coating my sword! The feminine man almost squealed at this revelation. Bankotsu sensed Jakotsu's suddenly cheery demeanor which made him happier.
The mercenaries did nothing to keep quiet. Almost purposely stepping on every twig as they ventured closer.
Leiko heard the unmistakable sound of two men walking into the village her and her brother were about to leave. Kyokotsu stopped and looked to his sister on his shoulder who suddenly stiffened. "What's wrong Leiko?" He asked turning around to face the village again.
They could see two figures walking casually up to them. Leiko made quick to jump off her rather large brothers shoulder and stood in front of him casually brandishing her Saiko. "Well hello there." She said smiling and watching them with malicious eyes.
The girl was more than happy to find both what she thought were men, were carrying weapons. "Hello, we'd come to rest in this village but seems as though someone destroyed it before we could. You two wouldn't happen to know what happened would you?" The voice came from the man wearing white and blue.
He had a rather large sword resting on his shoulder and very long black braided hair. His eyes were a bright teal which disturbed Leiko. Not the color. Simply the look they held. A look of obvious superiority. That he had killed many in his life and it wouldn't make a difference should he kill two more. His eyes reminded her of her and her brothers.
Kyokotsu stepped forward. "Me and my sister have just destroyed this village, are you so daft as not to realize this?" He asked laughing malevolently.
Jakotsu snorted. Definitely not cute. And this filth of kin he drags with him. But this shit for brains obviously isn't smart. He thought nodding to himself.
Bankotsu laughed at Kyokotsu's comment making the siblings look at him odd. "Obviously not but what say you to this. You like killing, we like killing and are starting a band of mercenaries. Why not join us?"
Leiko glared at him a bit. "Let's make a deal. I'll fight you. If you win, we'll join your little group. But If I win… Well you'll be dead." She said with a grin.
Bankotsu seemed interested. "Why not just join? You're going to lose." He said with a dull look. Leiko growled. "Insolent bastard." She muttered pointing Saiko at him.
"What's your names before I kill you?" She asked taking a tense step forward.
"I'm not giving my name to some filth like you!" The feminine man shrieked swiping his sword at her. The once two foot sword suddenly elongated towards Leiko forcing her to jump out of the way in surprise.
Bankotsu frowned. "Settle down there Jakotsu. Her and the big scary guy might be worth something to us." He said as Jakotsu huffed and turned away, sheathing the strange sword. "I'm Bankotsu and my angry friend here is Jakotsu."
Leiko smirked. "I am Leiko and my brother is Kyokotsu. Now I hope you're ready to die!" She said running toward Bankotsu with her sword raised. He did nothing to move until she began to bring Saiko down. Saiko clashed against Banryuu causing sparks to fly.
Leiko began to push against the large Halberd, digging her feet into the ground. Bankotsu smirked and seemed to barely push to hold her from him making the girl snarl. "Feisty little one aren't you." He commented with a slight laugh. Leiko snorted and spun from his blade and angling Saiko to hit his side.
Bankotsu brought Banryuu down to block but didn't calculate the amount of force she used properly. With his hand at such an odd angle it caused him to stumble back. He looked shocked as Leiko rushed him again.
Their blades clashed over and over, sending sparks flying every which way. Leiko dodged instead of connecting a hit with Saiko. She ran forward to punch him but he also dodged and she hit the earth causing a small crater to form.
She shook her hand as she stood and glared at Bankotsu.
Jakotsu huffed as he watched Bankotsu fight a filthy woman. "She doesn't stand a chance against Aniki." He said confidently.
Meanwhile Kyokotsu was thinking the same in favor of his sister.
Leiko back flipped away from the Banryuu as Bankotsu swiped it in a half circle, almost cutting her in half. She pouted. Neither of them had even put as much as a scratch on the other.
Okay that was a lie, Bankotsu had tripped her and she embarrassingly fell on her now bruised forehead. But other than that, they lay un scathed. Bankotsu rushed her and they once again sat in a battle of strength. Neither killers budged as they pushed their swords.
Leiko growled with a smirk as she found that she was pushing Bankotsu back. She looked at the expression on the mans face and was confused to see him grin. "Ah? What are you so happy about?" She asked irritated. Not a second later she felt the pressure on her sword increase causing her to bend back ever so slightly.
Leiko closed her eyes in order to try and concentrate more on the strength she poured into her sword. Suddenly the only pressure wasn't on her sword, but on her lips. The girls eyes shot open to see Bankotsu's face very close and their lips locked. Leiko's strength wavered for a second and that's all it took.
Bankotsu smirked and pushed her to the ground with Banryuu pointed to her neck. "That was a dirty trick." Leiko pouted glaring wearily at the blade poised to kill her. The man before her shrugged and took his blade from her throat. "Looks like your joining me and Jakotsu now doesn't it." He snickered walking away.
Leiko snorted before rising and dusting off her short maroon kimono. It fell just past her finger tips and had slits up the side. She wore very short shorts so as not to show anything inappropriate. She ran a hand through her long mint green hair in irritation.
Jakotsu sneered at the girl as he walked by and pranced up to Bankotsu to congratulate him, and then complain about Leiko joining them. She sighed and looked back at Kyokotsu dejectedly. "I'm sorry Oniisan." She whimpered. Kyokotsu just shrugged and put his hand out to her. Leiko walked steadily up his arm to sit on his shoulder.
"It's not your fault he was stronger and more tactful." He commented making Leiko growl. "Well you better not be bored anymore." He muttered while following Bankotsu and Jakotsu out of the destroyed village.
