teehee3

He was walking around the forest, looking for a fun little match. His braid swung with every step he took and his bangs covered his eyes as he thought more about the death of his comarade, Kyokotsu.

Damn it, he thought. Even though he wasn't that great of a fighter, he was still important to our team...

"Oh well," he said aloud. "Guess we'll take Inuyasha down with out him."

Kairi was walking through as well and heard his exclaim. She looked through a bush and saw a tanned man with long, black hair in a braid. His back was facing her and his huge sword was swung over his back.

I could go for some more fun, she thought with a smirk on her face.

"You know," he turned around, startled, at the girl's voice. "You shouldn't talk to yourself. People will think you're crazy." she smirked and close her eyes. This'll be cake. Although... his sword is pretty big.

He scoffed. "What'd you want, a fight? Cause if you're looking for one," he started to leap for her. "You got one!"

He lifted his Banryu and swung it at her, but she dodged. Her breathing increased as she back away from him as fast as she could.

"Shit!" she yelled, "Watch where you're swingin' that damn thing!"

"Oh, so sorry!" he laughed sarcastically. "Did I hurt the Princess? Or should I say, Night Princess." he winked.

"H-how do you know?" she asked timidly, now getting a good look of his face. He was pretty hott, if she did say so herself.

"You were at the river, Miss Kairi. I saw you beat the fuck out of those guys, and knew you'd cross paths with me sooner or later. You're one tough fighter," he pointed Banryu at her, "and I wanna taste of what you got."

She pondered this for a minute; should she be mad he was spying on her, or flattered that he wants to fight her?

"Fine," she huffed, grabbing her sword from it's sheath. She blushed at the size of her sword. Crap. I'll never beat him with this puny thing! This blade has lasted me a long time, but compared to his it's a piece of shit!

"Since you won't make the first move, I will!" he yelled and swung at her. She screamed and duck to the ground.

"Damn it!" she yelled as she ran through the forest with lightening speed. He chased after her and soon caught up. Her eyes got wide as he pulled her to the ground and got on top of her. He lifted Banryu up in the air, and she closed her eyes for fear of him slicing her head off.

I'm toast, she thought just as he stuck Banryu in the ground next to her head.

She slowly opened one eye and look at the weird man. As soon as she knew what exactly happened, she yelled "What the hell?!"

"Yes, Princess?" he grinned at her anger.

"Why didn't you kill me?!"

"You got a job right? I could use some money, I'll help you out for half of it." he offered.

"I don't need, or want, your damn help," she growled. "Get. OFF. Of. Me!"

"Not unless you let me help you," he bent down to her face. "Or I could just kill you. Either way is fine with me." He laughed a little bit, making her cringe.

"Get the fuck off!" she pushed him back a little bit.

"What a potty mouth you are," he laughed, as he grabbed her wrists and pinned her to the ground. "Don't test me, Kairi. I'll kill you slowly and make sure you are suffering."

"You can't imagine how scared I am," she murmured sarcastically.

"Do you know who I am?" he said with pride.

"No, and I don't intend on finding out!" she yelled as she brought her knee up, which wasn't the smartest idea of hers. He just fell ontop of her, forcing all of his weight on her.

"Get off!" she yelled. He pinned her wrists back down and ripped off her face cover. After he saw her face this close, his grip on her loosened. She tried to punch him, but he pulled her into his arms.

"What are you-" she stopped to look at his face. The trap, she thought of what happened at the river. I gotta make him say it, it'll throw him off guard!

"You're... so..." he blushed and threw her on the ground. He fixed his kimono top, grabbed Banyru from the ground, and proceeded towards the rest of his comrades.

"W-wait!" she stammered, still a little shook up from his tight embrace. "You never told me your name!"

"Pfft," he scoffed. "Thought you didn't want to know." he turned around and winked at her, then continued to walk off.

"Fine, I want to." she gave in, he was just that cute. "Tell me,"

"Bankotsu," he waved at her, still walking. "Leader of the Band of Seven."

Huh?! Her mouth dropped in disbelief. She really just fought the LEADER of the Band of Seven.

I gotta puke...
