Hey peeps!! I have come out with a new story! It is another Inuyasha story, but it will tie in with D.W.I. (Demon Within) later. So here we go! And it has nothing to do with the main characters of Inuyasha! It has to do with someone who played a big part but wasn't mentioned afterwards. Bankotsu! So let's get on with the story!

Disclaimer; I do not own any of the inuyasha characters of the show.

Note; this story starts before the Band of 7 were together.

Chapter 1

Normal p.o.v.

Bankotsu walked along the path, looking for more strong demons or humans to fight. It had been awhile since he had been in a good fight.

He soon came upon a small village. He decided that he would ask them if they knew of any strong opponents for him.

"Hey, do you know any strong humans or demons I can fight?" he asked a man working in the fields.

The man looked at Bankotsu. He looked him up and down for a second, examining the man in front of him, and the Halberd he was carrying.

The man told Bankotsu to wait for a moment, and he ran off and got more men from his village.

They gathered around him, and an old man, seeming to be the head man stepped forward. "You look strong young man, and you wish to fight a strong demon?"

"Yeah, so do you know one I could fight?"

"Yes... there has been a demon plaguing this area. Many of our men have tried to stop it but it killed them all. Even the strongest samurai couldn't defeat it…"

"So you want me to try and get rid of it for you?" said Bankotsu, as he stabbed Banryu into the ground.

The villagers backed away a few feet. "Y-yes. We can pay you for it too…"

"Very well… where does this demon live?" he asked picking Banryu back up.

The head man of the village took Bankotsu over to the outskirts of the beach. "The demon lives in a cave further down the beach… can we trust you to rid us of this demon?"

"Don't worry, I've never lost a fight before," he said walking out onto the beach, and heading down the direction where the demon was supposed to live.

As he walked a Cliffside came into view, and he could see the cave.

But sitting on top of a large rock, sat a beautiful woman, with long black hair. Then Bankotsu remembered something the headman had said… "The demon has the appearance of a beautiful young woman with long black hair."

He walked up to the rock she was sitting on. "Are you the demon who's been bothering that village over there?" he asked looking up at her.

She turned her head to look at him. Her eyes were glossy, as if she were blind, or in a daze. She sighed. "No I am not, no matter what the villagers think. Have they asked you to kill me?"

"I only came here to fight you, I don't care if you've been bothering the village or not. I only care if you are strong so I can fight and kill you." he said uncovering Banryu.

She jumped down from the rock, almost in slow motion. "Kill me then. I've wanted to die for a while now…"

He stared puzzled at this demon in front of him who actually wanted to die, not bothering to put up a fight.

He sighed. "I don't have any interest in killing someone who won't give me a good fight."

She looked up at him; her eyes seemed to become less glossy.

"But the villagers are paying you to kill me aren't they?"

"I don't like to kill weak helpless things." He said propping Banryu on his shoulder.

"May I ask your name?" she asked, her glossy eyes putting Bankotsu in a daze for a moment.

He shook his head shaking the daze away. "Uh, Bankotsu."

She giggled. "My name is Mitsuki. Nice to meet you Bankotsu."

There was something about this girl which mad Bankotsu feel strange, different from what he ever felt before.

Then a rock came from behind him and hit the Mitsuki on the head.

"Ow!" she said putting her arms in front of her.

'If she was a powerful demon the she would have seen that coming...' he thought.

More rocks came, but Bankotsu put Banryu in front of her, like a shield. She looked up at him surprised.

He looked at the direction the rocks were coming from. It was the villagers.

"Why do you protect that demon?! Didn't we tell you to kill her?"

"I don't take orders from people, and I don't kill demons that are not willing to put up a fight," Bankotsu said.

"But she killed many of our people!" said the headman.

"Really? Most demons that kill people can see a rock coming at them and deflect it. And did she do that?" Mitsuki looked at Bankotsu. No one had ever stood up for her like that.

But infact, Bankotsu wasn't completely sure himself why he was protecting her. It was like his body was just acting on its own.

He pointed Banryu at the villagers. "Now, if you wanna keep pestering this poor girl then you're gunna have to answer to my Banryu here."

The villagers ran away screaming "Don't kill me!"

"Th-thank you for protecting me…" Mitsuki said.

"Don't thank me, I just can't stand people like that." He said. "Well, bye," he said picking up Banryu and walking off.

But before he got very far, Banryu fell from his hand, and he collapsed onto the beach.
