Chapter 11
Bankotsu
"Here she is, the girl you wanted. I honestly don't see anything special about this woman. She has a nice rack but..." Bankotsu rambled on.
"Bankotsu, who is this woman?" Naraku asked with a chilling voice.
"The woman with the strange clothing."
"This is not Kagome! Bankotsu, I resurrected you from your forgotten tomb to have you serve me."
"And that is what I am doing."
"THIS IS THE WRONG WENCH!" Naraku was enraged.
"Alright, alright. I obviously don't know the current fashions. Forgive me for being dead for so long."
"Get rid of her." He didn't even look at Lena.
"Will do." Bankotsu picked Lena up and took her to the cave where the Band of 7 would meet.
It had been several days since her kidnap and she was exhausted. She thought of Sesshomaru saving her, but knew that that was wishful thinking. She opened her eyes and sat up.
"You're awake. It seems like you are the wrong girl. Naraku didn't want you." She was confused.
"You're his servant?" She said to the leader of the Band of 7. He was standing across from her.
"I don't serve anyone. He made me a deal that I couldn't refuse. I accepted and he resurrected me and my comrades. I am alive and stronger than ever." He smiled at Lena.
"You are just another one of his puppets. You have a Shikkon Shard don't you?" He looked at his right arm.
"Once you have accomplished what he has asked of you; he will remove that shard and you will return to your grave. You are disposable." She sat up and stumbled. Bankotsu ran to her and helped her up. She was dizzy.
"You haven't eaten in 3 days. You have no energy."
"Is that how you plan on killing me? How generous." She stared at him.
-If he wanted to, he would have killed me already. I don't think he has anything planned for me-
"Well, Naraku did tell me to get rid of you, but I don't exactly know what he meant. He didn't give me specific orders." He stared into the cave walls.
"He wants you to kill me." She had no emotion in her face.
"That can be arranged. Although, I would miss that spark you have." He handed her some water and the fish that he had placed on the fire.
-I don't think he would poison me- she drank the water and picked at the fish.
"What is your name, human?" he asked Lena.
"Human?" Lena said as she chewed pieces of fish. Bankotsu tilted his head like a confused puppy.
"You are human aren't you?" He said.
"Are you?"
"I don't know what you'd call me. I have no soul, so that doesn't make me human right?" Bankotsu was anxious for an answer.
"Do you still have a heart?" Lena put her hand on his chest. Bankotsu grabbed her hand.
"It's not the same anymore." He let go of her hand and looked away. Lena felt sorry for him.
"Lena. My name is Lena." She thought that his face would soften up, but he kept his serious expression.
"Who is this Lord of the Western Lands?" Lena was caught off guard.
"He is a powerful demon." She managed to say.
"If he is so powerful; then why were you; a mere mortal, defending his castle? You were willing to give your life for someone else, yet you call me disposable."
While Lena was unconscious, Jakotsu had told him that the castle they had found her in belonged to Sesshomaru. Jakotsu told him that Sesshomaru was the one who killed one of his comrades; Mukotsu, the poison master.
"You really shouldn't fall for a demon, Lena. Demons are not capable of loving. Especially not a human. " That whole conversation came out of nowhere. He had such a disgusted tone. He walked away but the words still lingered in her soul. He was right, but she didn't want to hear it. At least not like that.
Sesshomaru had left the castle in pursuit of Lena. Rin was happy and determined. She had taken Lena's bag that she had readied before the kidnap. Sesshomaru had been gone for 2 months and had left the castle thinking that no harm would reach the girls. He was wrong. He remembered the night that he entered Lena's chambers. He wanted to tell her that she could return to her world if she wanted to, but everything went wrong. He had no choice but to leave without notice.
-If only I had gotten there sooner, she would still be here- he thought of things that could have happened to her. Naraku hadn't tried to make a trade yet.
-What does he want with her?- He didn't want to admit, but he was worried.
They had walked for 2 days without rest. Rin was tired, but knew that it was necessary. Sesshomaru picked up the scent of his brother, but avoided confrontation. Tetsaiga was the least of his worries at the moment. During his voyage, Sesshomaru had saved Kagome from Mukotsu of the Band of 7. What bothered Sesshomaru the most was that Inu-Yasha was there at his castle when Lena was kidnapped and did nothing to save the girl. Sesshomaru had an urge to rip his younger brother's throat out, but knew that time was precious. He quickened his pace but was countered by Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha glanced behind Sesshomaru.
"Where is Lena? Did you kill her?" Inu-Yasha interrogated Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru did not feel like explaining to his younger sibling what was already obvious. It was his fault that she was captured. That is what ran through Sesshomaru's head.
"Out of my way half-breed." Inu-Yasha hated that term.
"Aint gonna happen." Inu-Yasha stood firm.
"You ungrateful half demon!" Jaken ran to his master.
"Lord Sesshomaru does not have to explain himself to anyone. Especially not to the likes of you! Now, move away so we may pass!" Inu-Yasha didn't even look at the small Imp.
Kagome saw Rin on Ah-Un and walked over to her.
"Rin. Where is Lena?" She asked Rin with a smile. Sango followed along with Shippo and Kirara. Rin looked at Sesshomaru. He was mad at Inu-Yasha and knew that he would kill him.
"Lena was kidnapped by those men that came into the castle."
"The day we were attacked at the castle?" Rin nodded at Kagome.
"Are you guys looking for her?" Rin looked down.
"Lord Sesshomaru came back right after she was kidnapped. He could have saved her…" Rin paused and then began to sob.
"What if she is already dead!" she yelled.
Sesshomaru heard Rin. Those words were deep. They penetrated his cold heart. Sesshomaru reached for Tokijin.
"I was going to spare your life today, but since you are persistent on blocking my way, I will do you a favor and end your life now." Inu-Yasha grabbed his Tetsaiga and countered Sesshomaru's attacks. Kagome looked at the demons fighting.
"No, Rin. Lena is strong. Nobody can take her down so easily. You can't lose faith ok?" Kagome hugged Rin.
"Sesshomaru must think that we allowed Bankotsu to take her." Sango said with a shaky voice.
"I'm sorry Rin. We will help find her." Rin stopped crying. Sango ran to the demon brothers.
"Sesshomaru! He didn't look at her.
"Sesshomaru! We didn't know she was kidnapped!" He kept fighting.
They lunged at each other violently. Suddenly…
"SIT BOY!" and Inu-Yasha fell hard. She ran towards Inu-Yasha.
"Give us a chance to help you find her." She pleaded.
"You've helped enough already." He gave her a cold look and stood silent for a moment.
"Know this little brother, if she is dead, I will kill you." He continued his journey toward the setting sun.
-Hold on, Lena-
