Tamiko ran around the large room, laughing. Naraku, her father, sat in the corner with a small smile. Kikyo had convinced him to take back his human heart, and with it inside him, she realized how sweet he could truly be, and they had a child.
"Father, look what I did! I think I did it like Lady Kagome!" Tamiko had been trained to make, and purify poison, or miasma. Naraku stood, and took a look at his daughters concoction. He grinned, and patted her head softly.
"Good work, Tamiko." He walked away, and left her with her poison purifying. He walked into the other room, where Kikyo was cleaning up after supper. She smiled with genuine happiness when he walked in. She kissed him, right when they had a visitor.
"Lady Kikyo? Can Tamiko come out and play?" Kikyo walked out into the main room, where Tamiko had jumped up, hastily poured her poison into a small vial, and stood next to Moriko and Mari. Kikyo smiled, and nodded.
"That's fine. Don't be too late coming home, Tamiko."
The small girl grinned, and ran outside with the two girls. It was late afternoon, but that was fine. They were all very capable of taking care of themselves. Kame, Kasumi, Hikaru and Hikari. Kame stepped forward.
"We all came up with a plan, the six of us. Tamiko, we want to be just like the Band of Seven. We need you to make seven. Will you come with us?" Tamiko's mouth pinched tightly in consideration. She grinned, and then nodded.
Kame smiled. "We need to come up with a name now." She tapped her chin, and sat on the ground. She grinned. "How about, Sebun Kira. Seven Killers."They mumbled quiet, but excited agreements. Kame grinned.
"All right, now we need weapons. I have mine. For the past few days, I realized what I can do with my flute. Hikari and Hikaru have hidden weapons, so they're good. Kasumi, you said Sesshomaru made you a blade edged whip, yes?"
"Yeah. I also found out that I can hide myself in mist. I could surround all of us."
"Tamiko, you can be our Poison Master." Tamiko giggled.
"Okay!" She said.
"What about you, Moriko?" Kame asked.
"I'm fast, and very strong." She said, her Japanese accent very strong.
"I can protect us with my barrier. I got that ability with my dad, and I can fight with wind. I even have a nickname for myself. Mari, Lady of The Wind." She laughed.
"We could all have nicknames like that!" Kasumi urged Kame. She nodded, "That would be cool."
"Okay, so we have Mari, Lady of The Wind. Kame, Priestess of The Flute. Moriko, Lady of The Forest. Tamiko, Priestess of Poisons. Hikari and Hikaru, Masters of The Hidden Swords. And, Kasumi, Lady of The Blade Edged Whip."
Kame could sense their happiness over the cool nicknames. "Tonight, we leave. I already have a job for us. Meet me at my tree in the woods when the moon is at it's high point."
After that, they planned out everything, and everything was ready, the moment the moon reached the peak in the sky...
