Chapter 1
All was silent on the land that used to be Mt. Hakura. Bones lay where one has been slain. A bird with a Jewel Shard in its talons flew over the piece of land which lay there motionless. A heavy gust blew the bird sideways and the jewel daggered into the chest of the bones where a heart would lay. At first the bones didn't move, but then organs and then skin appeared out of thin air. The eyes of the figure awoken and stared at the hazel blue sky. His eyes were a dark blue. The bones were now a figure of a man. That man was the leader of the Band of Seven. He was Bankotsu. Bankotsu looked at the sky again as if to greet it but then hissed at the site of it. He wished it was night and that the moon was full of its mysteries.
"Where the hell am I?" Bankotsu got no answer back besides the howl of the wind.
"I'm alive again." He replied. "Is this Naraku's doing or someone else's?"
He got up and walked around the surrounding area. No one was there. He was all alone.
"Where are my brothers?" he said in such a low voice it was almost a squeak. "Where is Banruyn?"
He remembered what Inuyasha had done to it. How it shattered when he used the Back Lash Wave. He hoped by now that Inuyasha was long gone. He thought how long have I've been dead.
"Well…it's been over a month or so." replied an unfamiliar voice.
"Who is that?" Bankotsu said in a curious voice.
"Remember that little girl you played with when you were little," the voice replied. "That little girl that was your first love, the little girl that "died" and you wanted revenge because you loved her so."
" How do you know that and you still haven't answered my first question." Bankotsu said gradually getting louder as he spoke.
" You loved her right?" curiosity now rag in the voice.
"Your getting off topic," Bankotsu was now getting frustrated.
"Well I won't answer yours till you answer mine."
"YES! YES! Yes I loved her. Now answer my question who are you."
"I'm that little girl." The voice replied. "I'm that little girl."
