This Is Bankotsu

"I will lick the blood off my sword after I completely castrate him. I will slice off his head, and..."

Bankotsu turned away warily after listening to Jakotsu mutter for ten minutes non-stop of what he wants to do with InuYasha. Jesus, of all things Jakotsu could do to the pitiful hanyou, he wants to castrate him. What. A. Queer.

He was starting to feel very anxious. Banryuu lay at his side, and Bankotsu could almost swear the sword was calling to him. He shifted his weight in annoyance, and stared out into the vast field.

"Oo-aniki?"

Bankotsu slowly turned his head to look at Jakotsu. He didn't blink, but he was sure Jakotsu knew Bankotsu was listening. "Oo-aniki, do you think we will run into Inu Yasha today?"

Bankotsu sighed.

"Or perhaps that sexy monk Miroku?" Jakotsu licked his lips.

Again, Bankotsu sighed in disgust. He watched as Jakotsu's face darkened. He had a malicious grin on his face, and he clutched Jakotsusu. "Or perhaps that wench Kagome?"

Jakotsu crossed his arms, and huffed. "I'll paralyze her, and you kill her," Mukotsu said bitterly, fresh tears welling up in his round, reptile-like eyes. Bankotsu growled again. Everyone in this damn band was obsessed over the Inu-taichi. Naraku wanted the Inu-taichi to be destroyed, so Bankotsu and the Shichinintai complied. Bankotsu had no idea that the band would get this obsessed over some stupid request. Sure, Bankotsu wanted the jewel shards just as much as the other six, but InuYasha wasn't constantly on his mind. That damn hanyou would never be on his mind.

"Oo-aniki?"

Bankotsu turned his body further from Jakotsu, as the younger of the two continued to call out Oo-aniki. Finally, Bankotsu closed his eyes, growled, and stood up. He grabbed Banryuu, and heaved it over his shoulder. If they wouldn't shut-up, he'd be the one to leave. As he started to leave, Jakotsu's voice got quieter and quieter.

As he reached the crest of the hill, he looked down at the women picking fresh food, and putting them into a basket underneath their arms. He grinned maliciously. He hadn't had fun in a while. He started down the hill at a steady pace, but pretty soon, that pace turned into a fast charge. He was just at the bottom of the hill when he stopped. He entire body pulsed, and Banryuu dropped to the ground, creating a giant crater in the earth. He grabbed at his chest, and fell to the ground. The women in the field looked up, and gasped as Bankotsu dropped to the ground.


Amaya kicked at her attacker, but it was no use. He dug her arms in closer to the wall. Amaya winced, and felt tears drop down her cheeks. The circulation in her arms was beginning to get cut off from her hands, and she got that tingly feeling in her fingers like she did in her feet when Taro sat on her legs.

"Taro!" she wailed.

Taro won't always be there to save you, Amaya...

That voice sounded so much like her Sensei, Amaya could've sworn that he was there. But, the other guy seemed unfazed, so it must all be in Amaya's head. She was being lifted higher and higher from the ground, as the male moved her up to his eye-level. Suddenly, Amaya got an idea. She began to bring her feet up, and pulling her knees close to her chest. This would be great for my abs...

As her legs were up by her chest, and her feet were up by the guy's stomach, she kicked her legs out. Hard. The wind was knocked out of him as he dropped Amaya, and stumbled backwards. Amaya's butt felt as if it were shattering into a million pieces as she hit the ground. As soon as her butt hit the ground. Her head went backwards, and she hit her head hard on the brick wall behind her.


Bankotsu woke up around a fire. He sat up, and looked around. The whole place smelled of death and decay. All around, dead bodies littered the ground, and their brownish-red blood stained the earth. Normally, one who woke up in an environment such as this would be scared. So scared in fact, that fainting would be their first reaction. Although, Bankotsu was used to this scene; this smell. He didn't crinkle his nose, nor did he turn away.

Fires were still ablaze in many of the huts, and he could tell that next to no effort was put into ransacking this village. Obviously, his men had done it. Although, there was this small tug at his sleeve that made him want to hit something. The tugging became more and more annoying as it became faster and faster. Soon enough, Bankotsu turned his head to the side, and he noticed Jakotsu tugging on his sleeve and pouting at him.

"Bankotsu, are you fine now?" he huffed, almost like he assumed Bankotsu had been ignoring him before.

Bankotsu pulled his sleeve away harshly. "Yes, why wouldn't I be?"

Jakotsu blinked innocently, and pointed to himself. He looked behind him quickly, and then back at Bankotsu. "You passed out Bankotsu, are you okay?"

Bankotsu looked at his chest, and touched himself lightly. Where was his armor? "Where's my armor?"

Jakotsu pointed his thumb over to where Suikotsu and Renkotsu were. They were hunched over all Bankotsu's armor, and poking it repeatedly. "They don't know if it's something to do with your armor or not," Jakotsu's face fell, and he slid his hands into his sleeves. "Suikotsu didn't even know what was wrong! And after we spent all that time getting his doctor side out..." he muttered.

Not wanting to laugh out loud, Bankotsu quickly looked at his surroundings again. Where was his baby? Instead, he said: "how long have I been out of it?"

Jakotsu closed his eyes, and shrugged before replying thoughtfully: "Couple of hours maybe."

Bankotsu looked at one of the only free-standing huts, and saw Banryuu leaning against it. Jakotsu followed his gaze, and scowled. "And do you know exactly how long it took us to lift that damn things?"

Bankotsu chuckled lightly, and stood up. As he did, he noticed how naked he felt without his armor on. Doing the first thing that came to his mind, Bankotsu trotted slowly over to Banryuu. The sword pulsed in its partner's hand, and Bankotsu was starting to feel less naked. He heaved the sword over his shoulder, as per usual, and walked back to Jakotsu. He let Banryuu drop to the earth, where it would remain only if he tried to loosen it. Just as Bankotsu was reaching for his armor, a loud crash was heard, before an omnious shadow hung over the Shichinintai's camp.

But, it was merely a snag in the web of the horrible game Bankotsu played. All it took was a small tug, and the snag would come loose. Bankotsu stood with a twisted grin on his face, and stood in battle stance, waiting for his predator to reveal itself.
