Ch.6 'It's Our Old Pal Genro'

*Mikun's POV*

What must have been hours after the attack I wake up in some sort of dungeon. The Mt. Leikaku bandits haven't changed a bit, but still, why did they attack us? ….Voices? People are talking outside, I can't understand a word they're saying. Roki, Boushine! How could I have forgotten about them!? I look around frantically for them, finally spotting them them thrown into a corner. It doesn't look very comfortable, but at least they're safe. Before another thought can dross my mind a splitting pain flares through my head and I pass out once more.

This time I wake up and my two companions are looking over me. I then become aware of the dried, and some even still wet, blood on my head and the fact that my hands are bound behind my back. Roki then said, "I'm glad you're alright."

Boushine nodded his head in agreement. Then he spoke, "Yes, we were afraid that they had drugged you with kotuku."

"Well as you can see I'm fine!" I exclaim giddishly. But deep down I know I'm not. What's inside of me, what's happened to me, because of that I'll never be fine. Just then the door swung open and a rough looking man came in.

"The boss would like to speak with one of you prisoners," the man commanded in his harsh voice. I shudder, he sounds so much like that man who broke my arm. "Well, which one of you is coming!? I'm being nice and giving you a choice here, so hurry up!" he yelled harshly.

I stood and spoke, "I will go."

The man smirked and spoke, "Ok cutie, maybe you and me could have a little fun afterwards."

I hang my head so no one can see the anger and shame on my face, what does he think I am? Some-some hoer!? Before another thought can pass through my cluttered mind the man roughly grabs my and drags me off.

When we got to the boss's room my arm felt like it had been pulled off, well at least it's not broken. I am literally shoved into the room. I turn around and yell at the man and yell, "Jerk! That's no way to treat a lady!"

"Quiet!" a voice from in front of me yelled. I turn around and see a man in his mid thirties. His red hair looked like fire and he had a big diamond fan strapped to his back.

He couldn't be. The leader of the Mt. Leikaku bandits, Genro. Otherwise known as the valiant Suzaku warrior, Tasuki. I stood up and inquired, "You are Genro, otherwise known as the Suzaku warrior, Tasuki, aren't you?" He looked to the ground. This time I yelled, "Well aren't you!?"

He looked up at me with pained eyes, "Yeah, so what?"

My tone became softer, I understand now, why he disappeared. He had been heartbroken. Once again I spoke, "Then you understand what we're going through."

"Huh?" was the only reply I got from him.

"We are looking for the second group of Suzaku Seven. The girl is the new priestess, Roki Hireshete, and the man is your own emperor."

He suddenly smiled and closed his eyes, "So that was Boushine, huh? Last time I saw him he was only two years old and still couldn't talk. It was because of the loss of his father, his mother was the same way."

"Emperor Saihitei was most likely one of the best emperors Konan could have wished for. Even though I hadn't even been born when he was alive I still believe that. Hopefully, his son will follow in his footsteps." A silence fell over us for what seemed a better part of eternity.

Finally Genro-san spoke again, "Well how about I let you guys stay here for as long as you like?"

My face lights up with gratitude and excitement, "You really mean that? Thank you so much Genro-san!" Before I even realize what I'm doing I jump and hug him.

"Hey, no prob. Uh, could you stop trying to kill me?"

I let go and start to blush. I rub the back of my head sheepishly, "Sorry, sometimes I forget my own strength."

Genro-san then smiled and said, "S'ok. I'll tell my guys to let your friends go."

"Thank you so much," I say happily with tears in my eyes.
