Chapter 10: Friend or Foe

She dashed back into the forest, Yuki ran, not looking were she was heading, tears flowing down her cheek. All of a sudden she screamed for dear life. She grabbed hold of a rock, for she was falling off a cliff. She looked down and noticed it was along way down. She than looked up to see if she could climb back up but it was useless. She began to worry, she hope he of all people would come save her once more. Her grip began to loosen even more until she couldn't hold herself up any longer. She began to scream again as she plummeted to the ground.

"You guys are boring me." the man shouted to his companions.

"Oh we're sorry boss!" they cowered.

"We need some… CRASH!!" the man was smashed under the weight that fell out of the sky.

"Boss!" they shouted.

The fallen man had broken the young girls' fall. She got off of the man almost immediately. Yuki rubbed her bum than noticed she was being stared at.

"I didn't' know women fell from the sky nude!" the man laughed.

Yuki looked down at herself, and noticed she was in deed naked. She than realized she had ran from Bankotsu in only a towel. She looked up and saw her towel fluttering to the ground. As it got close enough to the young woman, she reached her had out to it and covered her naked body. Yuki walked a few feet back and bumped into one of the fallen man's minions.

"Now, now," the once fallen man spoke, "where do you think your going."

"Ah, Kouga!" the other man stuttered.

"What Ginta?" Kouga snapped.

"She looks a bit similar to Lady Kagome." Ginta replied.

Kouga grabbed her face and examined it carefully. He released her face and shook his head.

"Nope Kagome is way more beautiful than this girl."

"Why you ungrateful mangy wolf!" she snapped.

"Too bad Lady Kagome is always with Inuyasha." the other wolf spoke up.

"Did you say Inuyasha!" she blurted out.

"Yep, he's strong for a half-breed, right Hakkaku?" Ginta said.

"Yes, but not as strong as our leader, Kouga?" added Hakkaku.

"I have a grudge to settle with Inuyasha!" Yuki spoke, "Help me kill him and I'll help you with your woman troubles."

Kouga looked at her with a smirk. Ginta and Hakkaku looked at each other than sighed a sad sigh.

"Hmm… You gotta deal." he looked at the young girl.

"Bu first I need a little help from a friend of mine." she smiled.

Kouga followed Yuki back to her camp, leading him and his followers right to the Shichi'nintai. Kouga stopped in his tracks once he saw the large halberd.

"Witch, you better not be leading us into a trap!"

"Oh no! these guys are my allies, we have nothing against you."

"You better be right."

Bankotsu noticed Yuki with an all to familiar face. His boyish smile for Yuki's safe return turned to a frown of disgust.

"Yuki" he grabbed his sword, "why did you bring him here."

"I made a deal." she smiled.

"With the wrong person!"

"Oh, Bankotsu, he saved my life earlier." she smiled an innocent smile, "and we started talking, we both don't like Inuyasha, we want to get rid of him."

Bankotsu got up and went to Kouga, glaring at him. His brothers also got up to pick a fight with the wolf demons.

"And what do you want me to do about it, Yuki!" he changed his stare to the young girl.

"I want you to help me." she looked at the leader, "I'm going and you don't want me to run away now do you?"

"I thought you were mad at me, so my answer is no!" he walked towards his brothers.

"Fine, I will fight against Inuyasha and his group by myself than!" she stormed off.

It became dead silent, with the two young leaders glaring at each other.

"Aren't you going to aid your 'partner'." Bankotsu glared at Kouga.

"No."

Bankotsu just stared at him. He began to worry. She was going to get killed. Her ally backed out without telling her?

"Why?" he asked.

"That's not the plan." Kouga spoke.

"What?"

"Our plan was for her to fight and kill Inuyasha with most likely your help." Ginta started.

"We were 'supposed' to aid Inuyasha, as a fake decoy while me and Ginta got in Inuyasha's gangs way, so they can't attack you guys." Hakkaku added.

"Were in reality Inuyasha's foe and your ally." Kouga sat on a rock, "But if the battle is not in her favor, than I give a signal to my men, and we will defect to Inuyasha's side."

Kouga got up and began to walk off. Ginta and Hakkaku followed close by there leader.

"Does she know?" Bankotsu jumped up.

"Go find out for yourself?" Kouga disappeared into the forest.

"Kouga?" Ginta and Hakkaku asked, "what's the signal to defect?"

"There is no signal," he laughed. "I made a pack with that woman, I don't plan on breaking it."

"Oh you fooled the mercenary." Ginta laughed.

"Exactly, they need to show up."

(Bankotsu's group)

"What are you going to do about this, Brother." Renkotsu asked.

"Yes, the poor girl will definitely die once more." Mukotsu added.

"Gesh… Brother… Gesh… Go… Gesh…" Gin spoke up.

"It's not worth it." Jakotsu crossed his legs, "I'm not going."

"It seems to be interesting." Suikotsu rubbed his shin.

"FUN?" Kyokotsu hit his hand to the ground.

"sigh… I guess I gotta save her butt all the time." Bankotsu sighed.

"Me and Kyokotsu will aid you brother!" Suikotsu nodded his head.

"Then its settled."

The three men marched off to find Yuki and save her once more.

"Hmm… this may be tougher than I thought…" Dao whispered.
