Author's note: I know I haven't updated in a while, and I apologize, but I have A LOT of homework this year. Also, there will probably only be two chapters left of this story, so, they will be long, though, I haven't decided how long yet, the max chapters that will be left are three, but I'm going to try to make it two! Please, review!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, or any of the characters associated with it, I only own Kaname, and most of the monks, that I made up.

Chapter five

Unholy Monk part 2

…With Roshim……….

"Master Shoujir, what are you talking about?" Roshim asked, looking at the older monk.

"Nerve mind, just warn the others about Renkotsu!" Shoujir ordered.

…With Bankotsu and the others…

"Hm, that was fun!" Jakotsu exclaimed, sitting down on a rock, with his feet dangling in the river.

"I have to agree with you," Kaname said, sitting beside the older man.

"I'm hungry!" Bankotsu complained, "This village doesn't even have any good sake!"

"What do you want us to do about it?" Kaname asked, leaning back to look at the leader of the group.

"I don't know, you're a woman, you can cook, can't you?" Bankotsu questioned, looking at the raven-haired woman.

"Hey, Aniki's right, if it's one thing a woman's good for, it's cooking!" Jakotsu exclaimed, looking at Kaname expectantly.

"Um, I can't cook," Kaname admitted, looking down at her lap.

"WHAT KIND OF WOMAN ARE YOU?" Jakotsu yelled!

"Jakotsu, it's probably not her fault, her parents are dead, and she hasn't learned the roles of a woman," Suikotsu explained.

"…" Bankotsu sighed, "I guess you're right!"

"…Thanks, Suikotsu," Kaname whispered, so that the others couldn't hear.

"Hm!" Suikotsu smiled at the younger girl.

"Let's go to another village, hopefully they'll have food," Bankotsu said, as Jakotsu stood up, and followed Bankotsu away.

"HEY! WAIT UP!" Kaname yelled, as she ran after the two, leaving Suikotsu and Kyokotsu to follow behind her.

…With the Monks…

"Hello, Roshim," Renkotsu greeted.

"R…Renkotsu," Roshim stuttered, looking at the taller man.

"Yes, is something wrong?" Renkotsu asked.

"No, why would you ask that?" Roshim questioned.

"You just look as though, you're afraid of me," Renkotsu said, walking closer to Roshim.

"No, I'm not," Roshim lied.

"Well, you should be!" Renkotsu said, smiling maliciously.

"Renkotsu, what are you…" Roshim trailed off, since Renkotsu had killed him.

"Ginkotsu, come, let's go!" Renkotsu ordered, looking behind him.

"Gesh," Ginkotsu replied, as he followed the evil monk.

….

"Renkotsu killed Roshim!" a monk from the village yelled.

"Ginkotsu, you have my permission to kill them all," Renkotsu said, calmly.

"RENKOTSU! STOP! This has gone on long enough!" Shoujir said.

"Ah, Shoujir, just the person I wanted to see," Renkotsu smiled.

"I know what you want. The information about the Shikon Jewel, and its old holder, the priestess, Kikyo, right?" Shoujir asked.

"You're smarter than I gave you credit for," Renkotsu said, "So, since you know what I want, give me the information!"

"Or what?" Shoujir asked.

"I will burn this village to the ground, and I will torture you, until you wished you were dead!" Renkotsu threatened.

"Fine, but I don't see what you can do with that information," Shoujir said.

"Just tell me!" Renkotsu ordered.

"The priestess, Kikyo, was a pure-hearted woman, therefore was called to protect the Shikon Jewel. She was friends with a half demon, by the name of Inuyasha, though he betrayed her by trying to steal the jewel. Kikyo ended up pinning Inuyasha to a tree with her Sacred Arrow, soon after she died, and the Shikon Jewel was burned with her body, this happened about 40 years ago (It's not 50 years, since Inuyasha doesn't appear until 10 years after them!)," Shoujir explained.

"Hm, well, thank you for the information, it was a great help. NOW, GINKOTSU, DESTROY THIS VILLAGE!" Renkotsu ordered, when Shoujir ordered for him to stop, "You said you wouldn't destroy this village!"

"I said, I wouldn't torment you, so I'll go ahead, and take your life, so you won't suffer!" Renkotsu smiled, as he killed the head monk.

…With Bankotsu and the others…

"Bankotsu, how much more do we have to walk?" Kaname whined, as she bumped into the handsome, young man, since he stopped all of a sudden.

"What's wrong, Aniki?" Jakotsu asked.

"…It looks as though, someone else got to the village before we did," Bankotsu said, calmly, watching large amounts of smoke rise from a small section of the forest.

"Do you think it's the Damaiyo (sp?)?" Suikotsu questioned.

"I don't know," Bankotsu replied, and started walking again.

…At the Village…

"WOW! This looks like something we'd do. The whole village is in ruins, whoever did this caught the whole village on fire. What I don't understand is how those big holes got in the ground, and in the temple," Kaname said, staring at the ruined village in amazement.

"Who are you?" asked a bald man, wearing a green robe.

"My name's Bankotsu, and I'm forming a band of mercenaries. Do you know who destroyed the village?" Bankotsu asked.

"…I did," the bald man said.

"Aren't you a monk?" Kaname asked, suspiciously.

"What's your name?" Jakotsu questioned.

"My name is Renkotsu, and yes, I was a monk, but…" the bald man, known as Renkotsu started.

"RENKOTSU!" a gigantic man, with tons of guns strapped to him growled.

"Who's he?" Bankotsu asked, not in the least bit frightened.

"This is my partner, Ginkotsu," Renkotsu explained, looking over at the red-haired man.

"Did he help you destroy the village?" Bankotsu asked.

"Yes, he did," said Renkotsu, nodding his head.

"That explains the holes in the ground, they must've been made by the cannons," Kaname commented to herself.

"What kind of weapon do you fight with?" Bankotsu asked.

"I don't use a weapon, I drink oil, then spit fire from my mouth," Renkotsu said, "And, as you can probably tell, Ginkotsu uses an arrangement of guns and cannons!"

"Uh huh," Jakotsu said, with a bored expression on his face. "How boring can someone get?" he thought to himself.

"Do you want to join my band of mercenaries?" Bankotsu asked the fire breather.

"We'll think about it," Renkotsu answered, "But I can give you all a room to stay in, please pardon the bodies."

"Thanks!" Bankotsu smiled, as he and the others followed Bankotsu to another part of the village.

….

"I don't trust him," Kaname whispered into Bankotsu's ear.

"…I don't either, but he could be a good asset for us…" Bankotsu whispered back.

"You can stay in any room you want," Renkotsu said, stopping at their destination, which was another section of the village, that wasn't as destroyed as was the first part.

"Alright, thanks," Kaname said, as Renkotsu walked away.

….

"Aniki, you can have this room, and I'll take the room next to yours," Jakotsu suggested.

"Okay, thanks, Jakotsu," Bankotsu said, walking into the said room, Kaname following behind him.

…In Bankotsu's room…

"Kaname?" Bankotsu questioned, turning around, only to see her closing the shoji door.

"Bankotsu, how can you ask this Renkotsu guy to join with us? Shouldn't you have a limit to how many people are going to be in our group?" Kaname scolded.

"I told you my limit was going to be seven, but you joined, and then I made it eight, but since you're a woman, I'm not counting you," Bankotsu said, shrugging.

"Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean anything, but on a further note…" Kaname growled, "Renkotsu was a monk, and he killed his fellow monks for who knows what! What'll stop him from trying to kill us?" Kaname asked.

"The keyword is trying!" Bankotsu smirked, ignoring the comment about women.

"…Whatever you say," Kaname said, and left the room.
