Hosen and Kai was standing face to face in the castle.

"Father, you called for me," Kai said with Hebi slithering around his feet.

"Yes," the small mirror appeared in front of him, "unfortunately, I was let down, and the girl is still alive."

Kai stood quiet, he stared down at his feet.

"And, unfortunately I am still weak. I need you to fulfill the deed."

Kai's head shot up.

"You will go, and kill the girl," he motioned the mirror to move in front of Kai. Kai looked to see a wandering Misaki. Kai looked down to see that Hebi was no longer at his feet. He looked back into the mirror.

"You won't fail me will you son?"

Kai nodded; he exited the castle

Misaki was wandering alone. She was changed back into her old, red kimono. Before she left her village, and had that run in with the band of seven, Kaede fixed it up for her. She still kept the blue one inside her small bag. Misaki hasn't been to the village in days. She felt like she would only bring them trouble.

She let out a sigh, she felt a bit lonely. She continued her walking. She then made a sudden stop. Her eyes widened to the very person standing on a cliff top. A smile drew upon her lips. "Kai!" she shouted.

He jumped down. She ran forward to meet him a little. He pulled out his sword and swung it at her. She quickly backed away to dodge it. She stumbled a little. Kai stood there with his sword still out.

"What the hell, Kai, what do you think you're doing!"

"I'm here to kill you."

Misaki gasped in shock. Her heart started to ache. "W-why?" She said in a shaky voice.

"Orders from my father. I think you may know him, Hosen. You're mother sealed him and his powers away."

"Your father is-"

"Yes, and for him I will take your life."

Misaki clenched her fist. Her eyes were beginning to tear up. She tried her hardest to fight back. Kai quickly came up to her swinging again. She dodged. He kept swinging, she kept dodging. She pulled her staff out to block some of the hits. This continued for a while.

She tripped, but quickly got up and ran. She ran into a small forest. She cursed herself for hiding. She could fight back, but it's Kai. She doesn't want to hurt him, he became her friend. Her tears started to build up again. She heard foot steps and knew that they were his. He was a friend, but I can see now that, that isn't the case anymore, she thought.

"YOU DAMN TRAITOR!" she shouted, showing herself from the tree she was behind.

He held his sword up and swung it. A huge, long blow came from it. She jumped up. It missed her. Once her feet was back on the ground she ran. She ran up to him.

He didn't see her coming at first; there was too much dust from the blow. Once she got up to him he tried to swing at her. She jumped up, twirled behind him, and smacked her staff in the back of his neck. He stumbled forward, but caught himself before falling. He his head around to her. She stood there holding out her black rod.

He swung his sword again, and this time the blow sent her flying; her body flew out of the trees. She landed on her back. For moment she laid there groaning. He walked towards her. She tried to sit up, but before she could he gripped her up. He lifted her up and pulled her lips to his. Her eyes widened in shock.

Once he was finished he pushed her away. "I always wanted to do that," he whispered raising his blade.

Misaki wiped her mouth. She was mad, but confused. She didn't understand why he did that. She put her rod out defensively in front of her. Kai's sword developed a blue aura around it. He lowered it and was about to strike. She lifted her rod up some and prepared to strike as well.

CLANG

Misaki eyes widened to what she was witnessing. In front of her was Bankotsu blocking Kai's attack with his Banryu. Kai was taken aback by Bankotsu's sudden action. Bankotsu adjusted his eyes to look at the surprised Misaki. I found her, he thought with a small smile on his face.

He put force on his halberd and swung. He sent Kai slightly flying back. Kai landed on his feet. Bankotsu stood holding out his halberd. He was angry. Misaki stood behind him with a bewildered look on her face.

"Yo! What's the deal? Aren't you the demon who I seen helping Misaki, why now are you attacking her?"

"That's none of your business!" Kai shouted.

"You attack someone I care about then it is my concern!"

"Care about...You attacked her too!"

"I never attacked Misaki!"

Kai stopped shouting and was now in front of Misaki. It was too fast for them to stop. He put his sword up to strike, but she blocked. She was trying her hardest to block, but he was overpowering. Bankotsu came up to Kai and swung Banryu. Kai jumped backwards to dodge.

"Don't touch her!" Bankotsu said swinging at Kai.

He kept swinging at Kai and Kai kept blocking. Misaki watched. She came a little closer to them. Why do they have to fight? Why does Kai have to be like this? She dropped to her knees, clutching her head. She shut her eyes tight. Tears formed and they came down silently. She tried to control her sobs. She opened her eyes again to see the men fighting.

Bankotsu and Kai's blades continued to clash. Kai pushed back Banryu; he jumped back and ran towards Misaki. Bankotsu ran too, and right before Kai could strike her, Bankotsu pushed her. She landed on her bottom.

I'm taking this guy out, he thought keeping his eyes on Kai. "Misaki go some where and hide yourself!" He yelled at her.

Misaki stood up and ran behind a large stone. She put her hands on the stone and peeked over it. She watched in fear, sadness and confusion. The two men kept at it. Their blades kept clashing.

With his free right hand Bankotsu punched Kai in the face. The hit was hard and knocked Kai down. Once Kai hit the ground Bankotsu pushed Banryu into the ground and jumped up. Bankotsu was in the air holding Banryu above him.

Dark clouds started to form around the tip of the blade. Bankotsu pushed Banryu up a little higher and from the center of the clouds came lightning. Lightning hit the blade. Lightning came from the clouds hitting all below. Kai tried to dodge some of the bolts but was eventually hit. The stone Misaki was hiding behind was struck; causing her to fly back. This had hurt her.

The clouds disappeared and Bankotsu came back to the ground. The halberd was glowing yellow, with static around it. Kai was on the ground in front of him. He lifted his sword to strike. Kai quickly whipped out his sword to block. Kai's sword started to glow. It had a blue glow around it.

He swung his sword and blue energy was released from it. Bankotsu covered the front of him with his Banryu. The attack hit Banryu causing Bankotsu to fall back. Kai was doing it again, Bankotsu then swung his sword as well sending out lightning. Both of their blows clashed with one another causing a small explosion.

Misaki sat up. She looked to where their fight was going on. All she could see was a cloud of smoke.

Bankotsu jumped through the cloud of smoke towards Kai. Kai jumped forward as well. The two blades clashed once more. They both tried to push forward with their blades. They jumped back. They jumped forward again. Blades continuing to clash.

Bankotsu used his feet to kick Kai in the gut. Kai was hit, but grabbed Bankotsu's ankle and tossed him. Bankotsu flew but landed on his feet. The cloud started to fade, and Misaki got a better view of the fight.

Kai swung his sword again, and the blue energy came towards Bankotsu. He quickly moved out of the way, but his left arm was hit. The attack left a tear in his clothes and a small scar on his arm. He looked at it and thought damn. He used his right hand to swing Banryu. An electric blow came from Banryu. The blow barely missed Kai. It caused a cloud to form in front of Kai's face. Kai put his arms up to his face and closed his eyes. He opened one eye to see. Bankotsu was above him and before Kai could block the attack Bankotsu had struck him. Bankotsu's large halberd went right through Kai's chest and upper abdomen.

Bankotsu pulled his sword out of Kai. Kai fell to his knees. He held where he was struck. He was losing his breath causing him to pant. Misaki ran up to him. Bankotsu watched. Misaki kneelled down to where he was.

Kai fell backwards. He was still panting. Misaki looked over him, he looked back at her and smiled. His eyes then closed and his breathing stopped. Tears rolled down Misaki's face. Bankotsu bent down next to her. He placed a hand on her shoulder. She winced at the pain because her body ached.

"Sorry I didn't mean for the attack to hit you." He told her.

Misaki looked at him and started to sob heavily. She placed her face into his chest and gripped his clothing. He wrapped his arms around her while she cried.

Renkotsu was in a small cave. He was in new clothes identical to his old ones. In the cave was bombs, dynamite, gun powder, and cannons. He turned around to a presence.

There stood a tall demon with long green hair. His skin was pale and had small blue eyes.

"Who are you?" Renkotsu spoke first.

"I am the demon Hosen I know you heard of me," He said rather cocky.

"Yes...I have. You're the one who wanted that girl dead."

"I still do. She's still alive. I thought my son could handle it for me, unfortunately he was a disappointment and failed."

"..."

"I want you to help me in accomplishing that...But I'll tell you this, your leader Bankotsu protected her...No doubt he will continue."

"Yes he made it clear he didn't want to kill her." Renkotsu turned his back to Hosen.

"Yes but I've been watching your actions, and I know you can't stand the fact Bankotsu is stronger...You want to beat him."

Renkotsu snapped back around.

"Work with me and I'll assure you it will happen."

Renkotsu stared at him.
