This was inspired by Leon. To those of you who have seen the spectacular movie, you will appreciate this chapter more than those who have not. Still, it is easy to understand, I just do not want to take credit for the idea for the final lines of this drabble.

Everybody

Naraku strode into the small building and brushed off everyone who stood in his way. Upon seeing him approach with the dark look of death on his face, people scurried out the way. They knew what this meant, his trip, his demon hunting trip had been unsuccessful, so it was best not to bring it up, let alone ask about it. The woman who was cooking meal for his men tonight looked at the soldiers and tears welled up in the eyes of the woman child who was usually so void and let her silver hair fall out of the braids that had been holding it up.

There were so few...at least those who were left were going to have a large meal, she had not expected so many to die, there were thirty left out of an original number of 200. There had been fights all over the country now, just from the rogue Daiyoukai and the demons following him. People had grown scared and run from their job, stopped signing up, setting their slaved free so they would not be killed when the Daiyoukai came for them. The army was now down from an original 10000 to 7000, in the space of a few mere months.

Most of those who were left were just boys really, children, and a few women who insisted. Naraku was the boss of the whole army, but the battalion that was now diminished to such a small number had been their best. "We need reinforcements," he said to her, meaning she was to ring the bell and gather people up to be the nest lot to go with him.

"How many?" She questioned.

"Bring me everybody," he told her.

She frowned, that was not an answer, did he mean 1000 men, 2000, how many did he want? Catching her questioning look he repeated himself, "Bring me everybody."

7000 men.
