Chapter 5

Samantha got up like she had been getting up for the last month. She got up, braided her hair, and tied her feminine features by wrapping a cloth tightly around her chest. Both she and Yukoto, second in command of the Mt. Kaou bandits (Samantha had finally figured that she had somehow gotten transported from the library to this place in ancient china), decided that it was best if she disguised herself as a man. He was actually kind of nice to her. It was the leader she despised. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't be doing all this work. But it would have been worse if the leader had known that Samantha was a girl. Of course, they treated her like she was some kind of slave, even though she didn't belong to them. She would just get on the floor and clean, getting a few bruises now and then from bandits kicking her while passing by. But so far she'd been safe from facing the bosses wrath. One day though, while tending to the day's injuries, Yukoto said that the boss wanted to see her. It was like what he had just said was as bad as any kick those bandits had given her. "He ..he what?!?" "That's what he said. I guess he want's to make sure your no threat to him. Make sure you're not a spy. " said Yukoto, trying to hide his fear and concern. But he wasn't very good at it. " Just chill out, or else you'll make him suspicious. Plus, I'll be right outside the door. "said Yukoto when they got to a beautiful golden door. "Oh, and I'm sorry for being rough." Then he pushed her inside the room with full force. Samantha groaned. He had thrown her on one of her really bad bruises. She would have turned around and told him off if she wasn't paralyzed. There were a pair of yellow eyes starring right at her.
