I dont own Inuyasha
Thank you for the reviews (I dont care if they were flames or nice things cause at least you took the time! -)
Well, while reading the reviews I learned one thing. Jakotsu is not going to be friends with this girl right off the back and I have to figure out a way to make him actually be her friend. This needs allot of brainpower and I am sooooooooooo sorry if the characters start acting AU. Oh, and ban/jak fans, im sorry! Ill writes a ban/jak fic after this to make up for rit I promise! I PROMISE! Sorry if I start getting too Mary sue with my character... im not the best at OC's. And as for the whole shichinintai only meaning 7 men and not 8, ill explain that later on.
This is where I start putting in the humor.
.........................................................................................................................
"So your the shichinintai?" mina asked observing the odd band of warriors her new leader bankotsu recently introduced her to. There was an extremely large guy who was named kyokotsu, a small and kinda creepy looking guy named mukotsu, a half metal man named Ginkotsu, a tall bald guy named Renkotsu, a rather sinister looking man named Suikotsu, and the last one, dressed in a purple kimono with his hair pinned up in a blue butterfly pin, was jakotsu. Mina wasn't sure what to think of him. He glared at her so fiercely she almost felt the need to hide behind bankotsu. Of course that would completely rid her of all her dignity so instead she simply tried to smile at him as a peace offering. His glare never faltered, in fact it slightly intensified.
Jakotsu continued to glare at the stupid filth. What the heck was bankotsu thinking! She was probably weak and useless! She'll die soon enough. She probably just made a strong first impression. I hope bankotsu knows what he's doing. Jakotsu glared harder.
Bankotsu watched the amusing silent battle between jakotsu and mina. To tell the truth he had completely forgotten jakotsu's hatred for as he called them "filth" when he recruited mina. He really needed to remember to think before he spoke. Mina turned to him and gave him a flustered look. He grinned slightly to comfort her.
"Did I mention jakotsu isn't very fond of females?"
She gave him a sarcastic look then hung her head.
"This might be a little more complicated than I expected.... "
Soon the group had settled into the area where they had killed off the soldiers and found a nice and quite large evacuated house near by. They didn't really take the time to figure out whom it belonged to. It didn't really matter because they wouldn't dare bother the shichinintai. The 8 warriors now sat on the porch relaxing for the moment. The largest one spoke suddenly, in a slightly whinny tone. " Aniki's im hungry!" kyokotsu moaned
"Go and eat something then" Renkotsu huffed.
The giant stared blankly for a moment then turned and walked off into the forest wordlessly. Mina watched and looked to the others.
"Is he gonna be okay on his own? He seems a little..."
"Slow?" Suikotsu added in quickly." dont worry about him. Id is more worried about ourselves. None of us have eaten a decent meal in days." he held his stomach that growled loudly and the others agreed. Mina chuckled and stood up.
"I can cook! I used to have to cook all the time where I used to live!"
She walked off into the house twored one of the rooms. Once she was there she looked a bit confused.
Bankotsu watched this and put a hand over his face.
" Mina, that's not the kitchen, it a closet."
.............
" A real cook can make you believe a closet is a kitchen!"
She then shuffled twored the real kitchen, looking slightly embarrassed.
Mukotsu and Suikotsu stood up and followed her.
"She's gonna need help. We can tell." mukotsu said as he left the porch.
Bankotsu watched them go, and then turned to jakotsu. Jakotsu had been acting strange the whole day. A little, or allot, grumpier than usual and bankotsu was starting to get worried. He walked over to where his third in command was and sat beside him. His eyes were closed as if in deep meditation and the irritation was easy to see.
"Jakotsu, you okay?"
Jakotsu looked startled for a moment, and then sighed.
"Ooaniki. I just dont like it."
"Dont like what?"
"Change. Its not so much even that she's a girl its just-"
Bankotsu cut him off by putting a hand on his shoulder and looked to the kitchen where mina and the two men were cooking and apparently bonding with each other too.
" Jakotsu, I know you dont like girls, and our group has been the same for quite a while now but, sometimes change is good. Who knows what will come from this experience. Try to give her a chance. She may just end up breaking your hate for women."
Jakotsu gave his leader an incredulous look then sighed in defeat.
"Ill gives her a chance, but im not going to be her friend."
Bankotsu smiled and nodded, knowing this was all he could get from jakotsu at the time.
He turned back to the kitchen where the three struggled to cook. Mukotsu and Suikotsu having the most trouble though. Suikotsu seemed to have been cooking some rice when his "other side" decided to take over. He was now jabbing his claws into the rice with an insane smile on his face. The rice flew everywhere. Mukotsu didn't seem to mind this for at the same time he was battling the soup. He must have mixed something dangerous into it because it was now bubbling and making strange noises as it spurted out sending scorching hot soup everywhere.
Amidst the chaos mina was looking into some sort of scroll that he suspected had the recipes for the dishes they were making. She looked up and smiled sweetly at bankotsu and waved. Bankotsu suddenly felt strange, it was like his heart jumped and started beating rapidly. He sluggishly waved back, the feeling still intact.
As mina went back to her cooking he put a hand on his chest. What the heck was that?
...........................................................................................................................
Mina smiled as Suikotsu and mukotsu walked into the kitchen.
"Are you guys here to help me? That's so kind of you!" she said giddily as she took out some recipes and the other supplies they needed.
"So what are we going to make?"
Mina looked at their resources then to the two men.
"Hmmm how about rice and soup. I think I saw some fish around here too. That sounds okay?"
"Perfect but we'll have to make allot." Suikotsu said as he picked up a bowl and poured the rice into it.
Mina clapped her hands together.
"Well then I guessed Suikotsu handles rice, mukotsu can make some soup and ill go and try to find any spices or seasonings they had around here. Or maybe ill try to find any other dishes we could serve."
The others nodded and got to work. Mukotsu began to boil the soup and added many different vegetables to it. Suikotsu turned out to be an exceptional cook. He gracefully mixed the rice and even began to get started on the tea. Mina, while looking through some scrolls managed to find a box of seasoning. She opened it up to find it was all black. It must be pepper. Out of curiosity she looked closer and-
"ACHOI!"
"Bless you."Suikotsu chuckled softly.
" Uhm, thank you."
"That was a sneeze?"Mukotsu added from his working space.
Mina put the box down next to mukotsu so he could use it in his soup, not noticeing a simpler box next to it.
Just then Renkotsu entered the room.
" Im off to go practice with Ginkotsu. I left some gun powder in here earlier and im here to pick it up." he walked over to mukotsu and picked up one of the boxes and left.
"We'll be back later, save us some food." he waved as he walked out.
"Okay." mina said picking up a rather interesting recipe scroll and set another by Suikotsu.
Suikotsu picked the scroll up and looked at it. He was about to set it down when suddenly he felt a prick on his pinky finger. He looked and saw that her had gotten a paper cut. A small drop of blood formed at the wound. When he was this eyes narrowed and he slowly picked up his clawed gloves.
On the other side of the kitchen mina was looking at mukotsu soup. It was an odd color and smelled weird.
"Maybe you should add some of that seasoning now." mina said softly as the soup gurgled menacingly.
"Yeah maybe." he picked up the box and emptied the contents into the pot. Just the they heard a loud crash.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA TAKE THAT YOU STUPID RICE! THAT WAS FOR BURNING ME!
Suikotsu was now attacking the rice with his metal claws. Mina stared in a mixture of fear, confusion, and pity. Mukotsu simply waved it off.
" Its ok, he has a split personality. This is normal for him, just dont get to close when he has sharp objects near by."
Mina nodded then turned to the soup.
"Uhhh mukotsu, are you sure that was pepper."
BOOOM!!
The soup exploded and flew everywhere mukotsu gasped and sniffed some that landed on him.
" THAT WAS'NT PEPPER, IT WAS GUN POWDER!"
Outside there was a similar explosion, followed by Renkotsu yelling.
"WHO SWITCHED MY GUNPOWDER WITH PEPPER?!A-A-A-AAHH-CHOO!!!"
"Blesh you."
Mukotsu pushed mina away and prepared to do battle with the soup. Mina smiled slightly at the chaos at hand and caught a scroll that Suikotsu had accidentally thrown across the room. She was an about to read it when she noticed bankotsu looking in on them. She waved at him happily and he waved back. Before she turned back to her work she noticed a small blush on his face. She looked at the scroll again, a secret smile across her face. When he looked at me like that, I just couldn't help but smile too!
.......................................................................................................................
In the end, all that was left edible was the rice, at least the rice Suikotsu didn't massacre, he was normal now by the way, and some vegetable soup that mukotsu prepared separate just incase. After a while of cooking bankotsu had to come in and fight off the food for them. I was a long and hard battle, yet it was nicely rewarded. They all were once again on the porch, now eating their dinner. Kyokotsu had returned and was munching on a demon.
Jakotsu was in a considerably good mood, and even though he still didn't like her, was being a bit nicer to mina. Everything was going fine until a messenger came. Bankotsu walked up to the man and took the message. The man left as bankotsu began to read.
He looked up the others and smiled.
" We've got another job."
