Slaves
Note: I wanted to try this kind of story out since I am pretty new with things, but let us see how this work out for the both of us hehe.
Warning: OOC and many other things.
Summary: Bankotsu and three of his companions are taken up for auction as slaves, a certain raven head girl happen to stumble upon them and purchase them, new life? Kagome/Bankotsu, Suikotsu/Kikyo and Renkotsu/Sango, Jakotsu/OC
In the feudal era an auction that happens every ten years displays the amount of slaves captured, slaves had been stripped of their rights, their dignity, and most importantly their humanity, what was once their own free space was now diminished and shoved into an in close space to do biddings for the other, a huge auction, a place where the rich comes to pay their heed in some slaves to bring back to their place to do whatever it is to them, some slaves may already had been at places, but they were returned because they were plain slow or simply useless.
It would seem like the band of seven had fallen for these stages, what was once a group of seven now shorten their group members into four fine righteous people, captured along their destination, stripped from their clothes, their weapon and their power… forced to wear rags, binded together with electrical bands that hurts them if they didn't listen to any of their masters orders.
They were given pitiful amount of food, and as they slack off, the weaker their fighting a body becomes. It was a life even the band of seven didn't deserve.
"Bankotsu, how long has it been since we became the way we are today?" Jakotsu sighed, weakly sitting in his cell with the others while waiting to be called onto the wooden stage flashed upon others as the people whether they choose to bid of not happens. Their current stage, all four individuals had lost a great amount of weight, their only power now were to do the biddings of others, when they had first been captured, while on their way towards their destination to kill the lord of the west, they had been ambushed by men whom they had never seen before, gassed to sleep they found themselves in a situation when they had awoken in their new surroundings.
They had been told that they were going to be given new jobs, instead of killing and destroying, they were assigned to do whatever it is other wants them to do. At first they refused, heck they even tried to break free, but the owner measly pressed a certain red button on this device causing them to flinch as painful shocks of electricity surged upon them, rendering them to their feet. But that was all three years ago, they had been in many people's place separated from each other as they worked themselves crazy, they were eventually sent back to the auction from their millionaire owners. The owners didn't want them any more since they sucked no ability to do things what so ever.
"I think about three years now… don't worry, we'll fine a way out of this hell hole and reek havoc upon the peoples who dared tormented us and humiliated us." Bankotsu said venomously spitting a gunk of saliva on the ground. He hated this; none of the people he had worked for ever gave him food, saying he needed to work to deserve it, the clothes he and his friends wore were smelly since it had never been changed in three years, nor the fact they had bathed in three years, it was time like these that he had truly wanted to kill himself. His friends; Renkotsu, Suikotsu and Jakotsu sat with him as they rekindled their life.
Mukotsu, Kyokotsu and Ginkotsu had died during the period while they worked for their owners, either they had been rebellious or lacked the power; they were killed instantly by a round of gun fire to their temple. The group had taken the news of their companions pretty hard, they had tried to break free but the owner had managed to subdue them all with a single press of his device.
Bankotsu had to smirk inwardly recalling the time where he had managed to break the owners noise with a rock he chucked with his foot, oh that memory was one of the best thing he can ever recall, the owner still had a cast for his nose now a days. But remember his current condition now; he merely placed a frown over his face.
"The next person who buys any of us, I hope they can treat us better." Suikotsu said calmly using a piece of straw to wipe away Renkotsu's cut. "I may be a doctor, but the condition we had been living in till now is certainly going to get us killed." He advised before using his hand to wipe the blood away from Renkotsu's arm.
"Bankotsu, we had known each other for such a long time, I just hope that all of us will make it out alive when this is all over." Jakotsu sighed sadly.
"Don't worry Jakotsu, we will." Bankotsu said softly eyeing his dejected friend's face. "We'll certainly will."
"Kikyo… do you need anything at the market?" Kagome asked, at the age of fifteen, Kagome lives with her best friend Sango, her two brothers Souta and Serge and her twin sister Kikyo, the mass of family and friend living under one roof was just as good as living separately. Their parents where rich, really, really rich, their father was one of the finest craftsmen there was too it, and their mother was one of the finest priestess/ demon slayer. But as time moved on, their parents had died quite a few years back by unknown reasons, they still mourned for them, but they needed to find their own livings, so now Serge and Souta played the role of the craftsmen, Kikyo and Kagome played the role of priestesses and Sango though now part of the family was so close them that they treated her as another sister, well she played the role in demon slaying since the other didn't know anything about killing demons.
They made enough; the group had managed to make a lot like their parents, though it looked like Serge the eldest in the family was making the most.
"Yes please Kagome, would you buy me some more of those green herbs, we're running out of it lately and it makes me wonder how I can heal without them." Kikyo sighed appearing from the storage room in her red and white priestess garb.
"Hey Kagome, I heard that today is the annual auction for slave bidding, I dare say we need more of assistance at home." Serge said, his raven hair covered by a red bandanna as his blue eyes held Kagome's. Kikyo sighed before rolling her eyes at the subject while Souta bounced up and down. The group now in the hall discussed upon the subject, debating upon the subject of slaves.
"Haven't I already told you that we are already enough as it is, why must we rely on smelly well for nothing slaves to help us." Kikyo coldly sneered. Serge shifted his eyes to Kikyo before leveling her gaze with his.
"Oh sister dear, I know we are good, but sometimes an extra help can benefit for us." Serge cooed eyes holding mirth within them. Kikyo shrugged nonchalantly before muttering whatever to him exiting the hall to reenter the storage room once again.
"Kagome nee chan what are you going to do?" Souta asked lightly tugging at Kagome's traveling cloak eyeing up at her. Kagome frowned slightly at her older sister's behaviour before sighing.
"I don't like Kikyo's attitude, but older brother is right Souta, we do need help around the house." Kagome softly said as she placed a hand on his head. "I best be off now, I must purchase our items and I must find the task of hunting down some slaves for us, well I like to call them helpers… slaves is a mighty critical word." Kagome said giggling softly before placing a gentle kiss on Souta's forehead.
"Well whatever your decision is nee chan, I will always be happy about it." Souta grinned hugging his older sister. "Will you be happy as well older brother?"
Serge stared hesitantly at Souta before shifting his head to Kagome's determined face… "Yeah sure kiddo, hey Kagome, here's a sack of fifty million dollars for you to use when purchasing our servants, I want you to at least pick four or five suitable males or females." Serge explained handing over a sack of money to Kagome. "Don't worry about Kikyo, I'll handle her attitude… go on now and be careful baby sister." Serge whispered softly taking some steps to firmly hug his sister placing a soft kiss on her cheek.
"Don't worry about me brother, just take care of Souta and Kikyo for me, oh as well, tell Sango when she gets back from her demon slaying that I'll be out okay?" Kagome asked. Her brother merely nodded his head smiling brightly at her. "Arigato Serge." Kagome said as she placed her green cloak around her body before exiting the house. Serge looked on at the empty spot for a bit before sighing with sadness turning his head to stare at a portrait hanging on the low level wall overlooking their fire mantel piece in the living room.
"Mother… father… our family is growing up really well; I hope you guys are proud of us." Serge whispered eyeing the two individuals hand in hand with smiles on their face overlooking the whole room.
Kagome sighed lightly as she wandered the country side in taking the gorgeous scenery there was displayed amongst her… the beautiful flow of the river along to her right as she walked upon a wet yet firm muddy trail, her green cloak swishing against the soft blowing wind. It had been to far long since her mother had took her for a nature walk, just thinking about it brought back painful memories, what was done was done, put the past away and focus on the present and future. As she stopped a bit in the middle of the muddy road, Kagome admired the river, watching as the tides ran rambunctious hitting each other overlapping the feral rocks. She loved the nature, it was one thing why she became a priestess, and she got to hang out a lot with kids and the wilderness.
But remembering her duty and tasks Kagome readjust to the front before continuing along her way to the village.
"Bankotsu… I think I can hear the cheers from the audience." Renkotsu said deeply finding the sound of chanting and booing enticing. "I wonder when this auction would start."
"Pretty close in about twenty minutes you pile of good for nothing demon dung." A tall framed muscular bearded man entered the wooden cabin; he stopped barely in front of the four individuals before sneering as he leveled his eyes on the four. "You guys are so worthless now, I can't believe that people a mere year ago people actually feared you, now look at you guys, nothing but skin and bones."
Bankotsu growled lightly at the insult, but was unable to do anything since he was weak, tired and hungry. Waving a hand to his friends Bankotsu compelled himself to do some basic maneuver to prevent his friends from going berserk.
"Right… anyways, you are one of the middles to be displayed; many slaves are going to be displayed in four, so you four would be a group, when you hear your names being called, I want you guys to head on out… don't try anything stupid now…" The owner sneered ticking his casted nose before exiting the hut.
"I wonder… will anyone buy us?" Jakotsu asked curiously laying his skinny body onto the ground before turning his attention towards the outside of the window.
"Stop asking that question, you know it is bad luck to say that, what if it is true, even if we do make it out of this hell hole, who knows what kind of master we may have to serve, he or she can be a total lenient character or a complete ass hole." Suikotsu hissed fingering his bruised legs. Jakotsu sighed sadly as he laid his head within the fold of his crossed arms.
"I hope we get a better master, if we are purchased by a family who knows nothing but abuse, I might as well take my own life." Jakotsu said lightly eyes brimming with unshed tears.
"Come on Jakotsu… don't cry, we'll make it out somehow." Bankotsu softly said kneeling down next to his shaken up face. He knew how his friend felt, none of his master were ever keen in feeding him, whatever he did was always repulsive or awful, they tormented him, he was kicked around, picked on and worst forced to live outside. He swore on his life when his friends and he break free of this place, they will have their revenge.
Kagome frowned slightly as she entered the village, a musty place, yet she could buy all her necessary things here, so setting her looks of interest aside, she made her way into village square to search for the herb shop, but as she by passed some store, she could make out the traveling huts on cartwheels pulled by horses, she spotted numerous of them spewed amongst the town aligned together as in the centre a huge platform with drapes adorned around, before it stood a small ledge where a person was able to stand on.
Curious about what this was, yet finding herbs was the first option, she cast a side glance at the place before entering the herbal shop. Once inside she eyed around the place, in taking the different shrubs and plants aligning the shelves. As she stalked within a aisle she eyed around, row upon row she couldn't have imagine the great amount of plants neatly stacked, stowing away beside the shelf holding blue tulip herbs she extended her hand to take some form the shelf, before making her way over to the entrepreneur's desk to examine the herbs there, see if it's Kikyo's choice of herbs. As she by passed a little crowd standing in front of a wall, Kagome caught a few words shared between them, so stopping a bit she made to listen to the conversation.
"I am so going to get myself a lot of slaves for my place, I need some losers to help clean up the horse's stable and clean the out house… oh my gosh I could just sit back and relax." A female's voice shrilly cooed giggling maniacally at her self while the group snickered.
"Well I'll get servants to fill my desires, and if they are good, maybe there would be more things are to be in stored." A male's voice rebounded. Kagome winced at the husky voice the male held. 'Gosh she would get servants for herself, but she would never do anything bad to them'. Making her exit to the desk, Kagome examined the display case filled with many assortments of green herbs.
"Excuse ma'am." Kagome addressed the lady with the farming clothes wearing a straw hat. "But I would like to purchase about three hundreds of you green herbs. The lady merrily smiled at her as she withdrew a worn down sack before started to fill the sack up with herbs, as she took out some bills. (A:N ok I am going to use original money ok?)
"That would be fifteen dollars miss." The lady smiled as she handed Kagome the sack.
"Thank you very much kind lady, here is the money required." Kagome smiled her eyes rainbow shaped as she handed a ten dollar bill and a five as well. As she exited the herb shop, a huge cheer brought her out form her stupour, taking a glance to her side, Kagome gasped as she saw a major crowd standing in front of the once empty platform.
"Ladies and gentlemen today is a special day, its auction day, the place where we sell the best of the best slaves. You can do whatever you want with them, torture them, rape them, and take your pleasure on them, whatever." We start the bid soon in just a few minutes, I must warn you though, there are only forty slaves, so whoever gets them might as well get four of five, the rules is, the slaves walks out four at a time, and the moment they are revealed, all four of them… the bidding will start.
Remembering her second duty given to her by her older brother, Kagome made her way towards the crowd, as she past by two men standing guard one of the men turned to her.
"Young lady, you need this bid card if you are to participate with them… but remember, this group is tough, so try your best to beat them." The men smiled gently before resuming his post. Kagome eyed the musty object in her hand; it looked to be a large paddle with a large number sixty six written in gold glitter coated both sides.
The area wasn't at all pleasant as well, for instance, the smell of animal maneuver rung high coating the air like a sticky substance drenched with people's body odour, it was plain sickening. Kagome could make out the group of people she had saw from within the herb shop as the group entered the quarantine zone where the platform met the ground.
"Now may we have our bidders enter the quarantine zone while the audiences stand outside the ring." A whacked out man instructed, the beady eyes hinted cocky attitude and fierce bargainer as the easily displayed demeanour poured out, causing Kagome to wonder. She only smirked inwardly recalling bickering between her siblings, coming from a house filled with mouthy lips, she can just play out this whole ordeal and things would go her way in no time.
She watched as ten or twenty rich fancy dressed individuals entered the ring of the quarantine zone all holding smirks on their faces, yawning and watching as if they belonged there, Kagome huffed indignantly as she entered as well, many audiences hooted at her and whistled as her back side was revealed to the males.
"My dear, why are you here, surely you don't think that a measly little girl like you can purchase these expensive slaves do you?" A woman laughed fanning herself with her paper mache fan; her clothing consisted nothing but jeweled ornaments of a red kimono with yin yang hair embroilment.
"Of course little one, you have no idea how rich we are." A samurai snickered as he tilted his helmet at Kagome in mock salutation.
"If you people don't mind budding out of my business than everything would be alright, I don't know why you are badgering me with your irritating babbles, but I have no interest in hearing them." Kagome cooly responded, ignoring the scowls before returning her gaze to the front where the man was eyeing the group with a greedy stare.
"Alright, you heard the rules bidders; I wish you good luck, oh on the side notes, come talk to me after when you have received your prizes, you would need to be taught a few lessons of how a certain collar would work… let this begin." The man roared before slashing his hand in a diagonal arch signaling the auction to begin.
As the audience roared with excitement, two hooded guards made their entrance on the stage, as one of the hooded guard snapped his finger, Kagome watched in awestruck as four individuals shackled from hand and foot made their way to the stage all in align of perfect synchronization before stopping in front of the individuals.
"Alright rich folks, choose your servant." The man cried as the audience gave off another tremendous roar.
Kagome sighed heavily she knew that some of the slaves would never see fit would her so she eyed the four shackled up individuals. She eyed the three tall females, all rugged looking and smiling at the rich folks, it was obvious that their smiles screamed to get them, but one particular slave or servant she like to call it had caught her attention, a young girl, barely the age of ten maybe the same age as her little brother Souta stood gloomily, staring down upon her bare shackled foot, the silhouette pale face with red markings itched upon, the snowy white hair she had grazing lightly to her mid section, the wrinkled flower kimono she wore… that was something she would want, someone to help out her kid brother.
"I'll give you ten million dollars for the tall young lady in the pink kimono." The samurai yelled raising his paddle up the number seventy seven etched upon.
"No I'll give you sixty million." The woman sneered elbowing the samurai in the rib cage.
"Tall slave girl going for sixty million, going once, going twice, sold." The man beamed.
"Three million dollars for the little girl in the white." Kagome screamed as she raised her paddle up high. Everyone immediately quieted down, as the samurai, the red kimono lady and the other rich dudes eyed her, Kagome stood proudly not fazed by anyone's glares. The little white girl had seemed to be shock that someone had actually called her out.
"Are you sure young mistress, this little slave girl can do nothing, she can't even talk let alone defend for her self." The man said disbelieved.
"Excuse me, but I don't think this is helping your business by criticizing your own slaves that you worked so hard to get rid of." Kagome stated eyeing the man with annoyance.
"Whatever you say lady, don't tell me that I didn't warn you so." He said shrugging his shoulder.
The audience all hollered at the display of action between the two individuals. "Young lady, just because you are innocent and naïve, we'll let you have this puny child for your taking." The lady fanning herself smirked.
"Indeed, lets see how you can put such a shameful little critter into working for you, I bet you that even a single common house hold chore would bring the pathetic excuse of a slave down." The samurai grinned.
"Clearly you haven't heard me, but I don't give a damn about your saying, it's my money, let me do what I want with it, so why don't you two mind your own god damn business like the other rich folks?" Kagome snapped sneering at the two reproachful gazes of the heated individuals. "You know what, you two have been dong a lot of bugging lately, why, are you two afraid that I'm going to steal all your precious servants?" Kagome sneered giving the two grown up a narrowed gaze.
"What utter rubbish, afraid of you?" The samurai smirked before started to laugh at her explanation.
"My dear, you are simply deluded in your own way." The woman said whimsically fanning herself.
"Whatever, just don't get in my way." Kagome hissed before resuming her gaze back at the stage.
"Three million for the white little servant, three million, going once, going twice…. sold to the new bidder." The man said slamming his fist together, as he did that the collar to the little girl formed a light pink hue surrounding the tiny shackles before etching an emblem within it before disappearing. "Alright on to the next servants…"
As the other two females disappeared since no one wanted the two ladies, the two females who were bidded and won fairly made their way over to their new masters.
"Don't worry little one, you'll be in good care now." Kagome smiled lightly down at the girl before placing a small palm over her head. "Wait here until I get four more servants for us." The girl nodded lightly, her eyes transfixed with Kagome's kind blue ones.
"Bankotsu, we're soon to be called, when that next snap is heard, the four of us will have to exit this hut." Jakotsu said whimpering in fear. Bankotsu sighed heavily; each time when they are to be auctioned, they would be fed thoroughly, and then bathed so they can smell decent. Though they had never washed their stripes off because they didn't want to loose their markings, the workers simply let them be.
"Keep it together you guys; we're not going to be separated this time… I have a hunch we won't." Bankotsu said his grey blue eyes narrowed and downcast as he folded one knee up, propping his left arm on the knee before laying his chin on the torso letting his mind fall into deep thoughts.
"Right no matter what." Renkotsu smirked fisting his knuckle into his chest. Suikotsu chuckled softly.
"Then all for one…" Suikotsu said determinedly placing a hand into the middle after standing up to face his gang.
"Then…" Renkotsu smirked extending his hand in placing it over top Suikotsu's.
"One…" Jakotsu said lightly placing his hand as well on top of Renkotsu's.
"For…" Bankotsu smirked leveling himself to his friend's height before he too placed his hand on top of his three companions.
"ALL" they all yelled in unison breaking their hands away at the same time fisting the air with renewed determination. Exactly at the same time after their rekindle men ship all four flinched as they heard the finger snaps signaling their turn for auction.
"Well here we go mate." Jakotsu said an unknown confidence building within their stomachs as they all stiffened their shoulder and exited their tent, stepping out onto the bright clear sky light and began their walk towards the platform, a hooded guard already waiting for them to escort.
Kagome watched as the next four individuals made their appearance, to now, she didn't find any servants that had been displayed of any interest, so far she could only find the one girl, that was it, but when the next four individuals appeared, her mouth ran dry, the saliva within her mouth made complete utter disambiguation as the individuals before her eyed the group. Immediately the signs of awkwardness hit as the audience made their boos and hissing sound.
"Oh God, I used to have one of them, oh gosh he was simply horrible." The Samurai quivered.
"Remotely distasteful, couldn't clean for crap, I won't bother buying them again." The red kimono lady said loath fully spitting on the ground beside her. And as the audience continued on with their boos and hiss, the rich folks talked amongst themselves excluding Kagome who was still eyeing the four individuals who all in all eyed the group indifferently. Seeing that no one was raising their bid, Kagome did one thing.
"Nine million dollars for all four of them." Kagome screamed raising her paddle into the air shaking it around hysterically. Immediately the crowd went dead silent, the rich folks including the owner all gaped at her like she had completely lost her head, however the four individuals all were surprised as well. "I stand by my decision, if anyone has a problem then I can simply purify you right now… as to why purchasing all four… well simply they are adequate for my task and you guys simply didn't want to buy them. So while no one would want to buy these poor souls, then I offer my price, I know how much you want to get rid of them, so this is a take it or leave it deal price." Kagome sternly explained as she placed her hand into her traveling cloak's pocket to with draw the money.
"Young lady you drive a hard bargain, but if you want all four of these pathetic losers than it is fine by me." The owner sneered. As the audience merely stared at Kagome's stiff back and the other rich folks eyeing her with surprise Kagome just stood there waiting for the call out, "All four of these servants going for nine million dollar, going once… going twice… sold to the young lady."
Bankotsu eyed the crowd wearily, he had seen all of them before, they were his previous old master, he can even recall all of their personalities… but one certain individual had caught his attention, it was a young girl standing next to a little girl servant, she was clearly eyeing them with interest and he too was eyeing her as well. when the girl had declared that she would buy all four of them together, he felt like he was going to die in happiness, he had never seen her before but if she were to buy all four of them together, than clearly she is different from the others… but just because she had bought all four of them itdoesn't mean she is different in treating them, from there on he would need to be alert and do everything he is told.
As the four made their way over to her Bankotsu had to take in the beauty, he had never had a master so young before… this was all too new for him.
"Hey guys… I think I am about done shopping for slaves now, let's just wait until this auction is over before we go to the owner so he can tell me what to do with you guys." Kagome said lightly smiling at the four males.
"If that is what our mistress wants to do than it should be done." Bankotsu said. Kagome instantly frowned at that.
"Now, while I'm your owner, you don't need to address me with formalities, just call me Kagome." Kagome smiled politely.
Strange he had never had a master that would want them to call him or her by their first name… this girl is indeed strange yet different. Bankotsu concluded.
As the whole group watched the final auctions, the band of seven couldn't help but think… in every mind of theirs, they shared the same thought of what will happen to them… what kind of chores their new master will provide.
"Oh you guys… don't tell my sister this, but I am going to get one more servant, someone to help all of us… and I think I just spotted the finest person." Kagome smirked eyeing an individual with orange hair wearing a musty rag that covered only his lower torso revealing the great lengths of muscles. His face, covered in heavy black make up or something of some sort.
"One million dollars for the orange head." Kagome screamed as she for the last time raised her paddle. The owner merely shook his head before granting her request since other people didn't even bother to beat her.
"Thank you everybody for participating in today's grand festive of slave bidding, may the audience leave and the people who have their slaves come with me to the desk so we can pay up and I can teach you what you have to do." The owner sneered.
"Well I still have a lot of money left, I guess after when we're done with this place, I am going to buy all of you some clothes." Kagome said softly eyeing the six individuals she had purchased.
"My lady I would want to thank you for doing these things for us." The orange head smiled, hands twitching.
"Like I told the others, I will repeat myself, you guys do not need to call me mistress or any other thing, just call me Kagome." Kagome smiled kindly at the six. "Hey now that I have introduced myself, why don't you tell me your names?" Kagome beamed as the group made their way to the back of the moving hut.
"Well my name is Nick." The orange head said lightly.
"Well since our new master wants our name then… I am Bankotsu, the bald one is Renkotsu, the handsome looking one is Suikotsu and the feminine looking one is Jakotsu." Bankotsu said lightly. Jakotsu huffed indignantly at this pouting. Kagome's eyes widened a bit before cupping her hand to her mouth to stop her self from laughing. Bankotsu smirk, it had been to long... never knowing good humour in good old ages.
"Kanna…" The quiet white head said softly. Kagome sighed lightly at the little girl before stopping to bend down to her level.
"When we get home, I am going to make you talk, plus educate you." Kagome smiled before hoisting herself back up.
"Ah if it isn't the nasty attitude lady." The owner sneer eyeing Kagome as she arrived in front of him with the group sorting some chains out as they saw, "Anyways, the instructions to punishing these stupid slaves are very simple, one… the collars that these slaves are wearing…" He gave emphasis by carelessly waving his hand towards the rusty metallic collars around Kanna's neck. "Well they will immediately flare up if they don't obey one of your commands, in doing so; their shackles as well will tighten themselves around their hands and feet rendering them to a five second paralysis." The owner smirked triumphantly.
"Really now, and is this all to it, I mean your explanation?" Kagome asked frowning immensely. "So torturing them is the way to make them obey….. Hmmm." Kagome said lightly.
"Yes that will be it to my explanation for now." The owner said. "Now about my money…." He said hands drawn out smacking his lips as he eyed Kagome's money bag greedily.
"Here's your twelve million dollar." Kagome sternly said as she picked out three folds of bills from within her bag before tossing it into the outstretch hand of the owner. "Now if you'll excuse us, I am going to take these guys home now." Kagome said dusting some particles off her traveling cloak.
"Yes ma'am." The owner mock bowed before smirking.
"Kagome… would you like me to carry your belongings for you?" Bankotsu asked bowing his head.
"Oh thank you Bankotsu that would be grateful." Kagome smiled kindly handing Bankotsu her herbs.
As Kagome led the way home, the other six followed.
Chapter 1 finished…
Tell me if I should continue.
