Chapter 7: So Sorry!
Bankotsu's body darted acroos the room, grabbing Banryu. "Where?" He asked, blue eyes cutting into his victim fromt across the room.
Kagome got up taking a deep breath. "West, somewhere close by." She ran her fingers through her hair and tried to smooth out her uniform. "You know if you keep doing that you'll ruin this! This stupid thing is EXPENSIVE!"
Bankotsu gave her a once over. "Why do you wear such... revealing clothing? Are you-"
"IT'S A UNIFORM!" She muttered fuming.
"A uniform? Like the girls that work at the fine restraunts?" He shook his head, grabbing her arm firmly and practically shoving her out the door. "Nevermind. Where's the jewel shard? Has it moved?" He glared at her.
Kagome gulped. "No not really but...it appears to be fighting with something."
Bankotsu relaxed slightly when they walked out and saw Jakotsu fighting -and winning- against a large bear yokai.
Suikotsu was off to the side with Renkotsu, sharpening his claws with a solemn look on his face.
Kagome's head tilted to the sie. 'That's kind of adorable, he looks like a kid pouting cause he didn't get any ice cream.'
Suikotsu suddenly brought his claws down against a nearby stone, cutting it to pieces. 'Or maybe a little boy who needs a time out!'
"Jakotsu stop playing with that it's got a jewel shard!" Bankotsu yelled, watching his comrad impatiently.
Kagome rolled her eyes, "I don't suppose you have a bow anywhere nearby."
Banktosu briefly considered giving her Kagome's, but thought against it. Now wasn't the time.
He scoffed. "I wouldn't trust you with a weapon." Jakotsu suddenly struck out with his sword, killing the bear. "Besides he was just playing."
Kagome snorted rushing forward and shoving her hand into the bears cut abdomen, pulling the jewel peice forth.
The carcus immediately turned to dust, and the jewel shard purified. "Good." Bankotsu muttered plucking it from her fingers, Kagome didn't fail to noticed how it became impure once more.
"Everyone." He called and all attention was on him. "Do you remember our glorious Little Sister?"
There were nods and cheers of agreement. Jakotsu and Renkotsu glanced at Kagome.
"I found... that dear little sister was defeated in battle. She was killed."
It was quiet for a moment before outrage became clear on the faces of the members of the Band of Seven. Even those who knew she was alive. Or potentially alive.
Suikotsu jumped up, his claws flashing. "Who?! Tell us who so we can kill them!"
Bankotsu looked at him gravely. "The same who killed us."
Suikotsu's brow wrinkled in pain and confusion. "But we were so carful! They couldn't have possibly known she existed! And what became of Akako and Akira?!"
Bankotsu paused. "I believe they are gone as well, but I heard no mention of them."
He ran his fingers through his bans. "Before we met up I heard tell of a group of mercenaries more feared than even us, the Band of Seven. There were four members and they called themselves 'The Band of Walking Shadows'. In the castle, the lord confirmed that Kagome was the leader of that group."
Confusion entered Jakotsu's eyes. "But why would Kagome be so stupid!"
Bankotsu shrugged. "Maybe, she was just desperate."
Kagome's throat clotted. 'This girl, why would she be desperate? I heard nothing that seemed to make someone so desperate that they became a mercenary. And why am I concerned in the first place! Just cause we have the same name...'
Bankotsu took out the kimono she had given him. "The local store sold these, but I hold one of the originals not some cheep knock off of her attire!"
Suikotsu's eyes clouded over as he dropped to the ground. No longer did he release words of hope, the proof was right there in front of him. There was no hope.
Ginkotsu let out an anguished wail. Even Renkotsu stared painstakingly at it, hoping to find some clue that it wasn't real, a flaw that hadn't existed on the familiar kimono. There was none, it was the real thing.
"I also have Kagryu in my possession." Bankotsu murmured, and like it had been called it appeared by his side and he grasped the handle firmly.
"She was tied down with magical restraints, unable to be seen by a passing eye, only someone who knew Kagryu could have seen it."
Relief swept through Kagome. She hadn't seen it, so therefor she couldn't be the 'Little Sister' everyone kept going on about.
Bankotsu's eyes darkened. "But I didn't see Akira or Akako's weapons anywhere... that's why we're going to find them."
Renkotsu gasped. "What about Naraku!"
"Screw Naraku! These are our little sisters and we have every right to know what happened to them! In the morning we'll raid a village near here, question everyone! Someone is bound to know where they took the weapons and if they don't someone will seek us out to stop the destruction." Bankotsu scoffed, " That's how disgusting vermin like these people work."

Sorry this chapter is so short, but I wanted to leave you guys a nice cliff hanger. I can guarantee you that the next chapter will be much longer! XD
Now, I need your advice.
Should I redo the beginning chapters? I had a lot of typos and mistakes that are painful for me to read. :(
But this was the first fanfiction I ever wrote on here so maybe it would be better to leave it in and show how much my writing has grown since I became a member over a YEAR ago! 0_0 I know right a YEAR! XD
Anyway tell me what you think and I'll try to get another (longer) chapter out for you very soon!
This chapter is dedicated to... bluephoenixflame98! I had just started writing this chapter when she PMed me and I was getting quickly frustrated! Who knows when it would have come out if she hadn't! XD
