Author's note: Srry, it took so long for my update! For an answer to a review I received, I just want to repeat that Kagome is not going to be in this story at all, neither is Inuyasha, it's all about how the Shinchinintai formed. I'm sorry for the inconvience, and for another question I did not get Kaname from another show, it was just a name that came to me, when I was thinking up names for my characters, and I liked it. I'm grateful for all the reviews I have, and want to thank all of the reviewers!
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, or any off the characters associated with it, I only own Kaname.
Chapter sixTrouble for Kaname
…With Renkotsu…
"Hm, joining these mercenaries could prove useful. It would give Ginkotsu and me training, as we kill different people, and it'll be easier to become a daimyo," Renkotsu thought, sitting on the futon in his room.
…The next morning…
"Yawn" Bankotsu stretched, as he got up for the day.
"I wonder if the others are up yet?" he asked himself; as he slid open his shoji door.
"'Morning, aniki, you're usually the first one up," Jakotsu said, standing, beside the 'ex'-monk, Renkotsu.
"Oh, yeah, where's Kaname?" Bankotsu asked.
"I'm over here," Kaname answered, causing Bankotsu to look over at Kyokotsu and Suikotsu, who were on either sides of the young woman.
…
"I have made the decision for Ginkotsu and myself," Renkotsu spoke up.
"Oh? What have you decided?" Bankotsu asked, looking from the monk to the redheaded giant.
"We'll join you," Renkotsu answered.
"Gesh," Ginkotsu agreed.
"Great! Now, that that's settled, I'm ready to go!" Bankotsu exclaimed.
"We should eat some food before leaving," Suikotsu suggested.
"He's right," Kaname agreed.
"Where's the food, Renkotsu?" she asked, rudely.
"Inside the main temple," Renkotsu answered, a hint of anger in his voice, as he watched her walk away.
"What's her problem?" Bankotsu asked, looking at Suikotsu, who only shrugged.
"Who knows? She's a woman!" Jakotsu said, as if that were the answer.
…
"Here," Kaname said, handing everyone some food to eat, before they started their journey.
"Thanks," Kyokotsu nodded, and Kaname turned around, and smiled at him.
"Are you ready?" Renkotsu asked, impatiently.
"Yes," Bankotsu replied, and led the group away.
…
"Why is this woman with you, if you are forming a band of mercenaries?" Renkotsu asked Bankotsu, as they walked through the forest, where Renkotsu killed his first victim.
"Is she your whore?" he asked.
"I am not anyone's whore, so don't you ever call me one again, do you understand?" Kaname growled, holding her sword, the Daiyamdo at the base of Renkotsu's neck.
"…"Bankotsu sighed, "…Kaname…"
"Don't Kaname me, he had no right to call me what he did!" Kaname snapped.
"I apologize, I just wanted to know why a woman was traveling with mercenaries," Renkotsu explained.
"I'm part of the group," Kaname said, putting her sword back into its sheath, and walking away from the two men.
…
"Aniki, I'm tired!" Jakotsu whined.
"Alright, I see a castle, we'll kill everyone there, and stay there for the night," Bankotsu said.
…With the guards…
"Who are you, and state your business!" ordered a man, who was standing at the gate of the castle.
"My name's Bankotsu, and me and my group of mercenaries need a place to stay for the night," Bankotsu politely said.
"Wha…" the guard started, but soon fell to the ground, when Suikotsu's claws went through him.
…Inside the castle…
"Well, that was easy, but not much fun…" Jakotsu sighed, kicking the body of a dead, young woman out of his way.
"I'm going to lie down," Kaname stated, leaving the two men.
…With Kaname…
"Bankotsu is the stupidest person I have ever met!" Kaname thought to herself, as she stomped towards a room at the end of the hall.
"I can't believe he let that bastard join!" she grumbled, and slammed the door, causing Suikotsu, whom was in the room next to her, wince.
"…She's upset about something," Suikotsu thought, leaving his room, and knocking on Kaname's bedroom door.
"WHO IS IT?" Kaname snapped.
"Suikotsu…" Suikotsu answered in a soft tone.
"…Come in," Kaname sighed, as the shoji door opened, and the doctor came in, and shut the door behind him.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing, why do you ask?" Kaname asked.
"…For one, you've been snapping at everyone, number two, you've been scowling at every single thing, and number three, you're like a little sister to me," Suikotsu explained.
"Oh…" Kaname said, "I just don't trust Renkotsu."
"I see, well, I'm sure you'll come to trust him!" Suikotsu smiled, and left the room.
…
"Hey, Suikotsu, did you find out what was wrong with Kaname?" Bankotsu asked, when Suikotsu entered the main room.
"She doesn't trust Renkotsu," Suikotsu replied.
"Oh…" Bankotsu trailed off, when they all heard the opening of a shoji door.
…
"Hwy, Kaname, where are you going?" Bankotsu asked.
"Hot springs, I'll be back later," Kaname waved, and left the castle.
"…" Kyokotsu sighed.
"I got an idea! How about we all train with each other, and whoever is the strongest will be the second in command, and whoever's after the second in command, can be the third in command!" Bankotsu suggested.
"That's an excellent idea, aniki!" Jakotsu exclaimed, already walking towards the door.
"Glad you like it!" Bankotsu smiled.
"What about the girl?" Renkotsu questioned.
"I already know how strong Kaname is," Bankotsu said, following behind the cheerful Jakotsu into the courtyard in front of them (It looked like the courtyard, where the Shichinintai got there revenge on, and where Bankotsu first met Inuyasha).
…In the woods…
"Now, I know I saw a hot spring on the way to the castle," Kaname said to herself, as she continued walking, and spotted a beautiful, clear hot spring to her right.
"HA! I found it!" she exclaimed, as she took off her short, white kimono, and got into the water.
…At the castle…
"You're pretty good, Renkotsu…" Jakotsu huffed, barely missing the fire Renkotsu breathed from his mouth.
"My turn!" Bankotsu called, ending the fight.
"Go, aniki!" Jakotsu cheered, as Bankotsu and Renkotsu stared each other down.
"Fight!" Suikotsu said, and the fight between the two men started.
…With Kaname...
"A woman…she's beautiful!" a short man, in a white outfit thought to himself, as he watched the naked Kaname in the hot spring.
"Who's there?" Kaname asked, picking up her bow, when she heard the rustle of leaves, and the snap of a tree branch.
"It's only me, oh lovely maiden," the short man said, coming into view.
"Who the he…" Kaname started, but before she could finish, her eyes started closing, and the short man in white started laughing to himself.
"That was my sleeping gas…" the man said, and that was the last thing Kaname heard, before she blacked out.
…with Bankotsu and the others…
"Ok, I'm going to make Renkotsu my second in command, Jakotsu, you can be my third in command," Bankotsu said.
"Kaname's been gone a while, should we go find her?" Suikotsu asked, looking into the forest.
"She said she was going to the hot springs," Jakotsu said.
"Yeah, but I still think we should check on her. I have a bad feeling…" Suikotsu trailed off.
"…Alright," Bankotsu sighed, as he led the group into the forest.
…At the hot springs…
"She's not here," Bankotsu said, as he looked around.
"Perhaps, she was kid…" Renkotsu trailed off, when he heard a yell.
"YOU, BASTARD, WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME!" a girl shouted.
"That was Kaname!" Bankotsu exclaimed, as he started running towards her voice.
"Aniki, wait up!" Jakotsu called, as he and the others ran after Bankotsu.
…
"KAN…" Bankotsu started to yell, but stopped when he saw Kaname wrapped in a sheet, beating up a small man, dressed in white. (A.N: I'm pretty sure they don't have sheets, but I needed to cover her up with something)
"…Hey, Bankotsu…" Kaname greeted, looking up from what she was doing.
"Are you ok?" Suikotsu asked worriedly, since he was in his doctor form.
"Why are you in a sheet?" Jakotsu asked, suspiciously.
"Who's he?" Bankotsu questioned, all three men looking intently at Kaname.
"Heusedsomekindofpoisongastomakemefallasleep,thenhekidnappedmew,andbroughtmehere.WhenIwokeup,hewastouchingme,andtherewasasheetonthefuton.So,Ipusjedhimaway,wrappedthesheetaroundme,andstartedbeatinghimup," Kaname explained.
"Repeat that," Renkotsu ordered, looking from Kaname to the man on the ground, whom was starting to stand up.
"I said, that when I was in the hot springs, this guy came, used some kind of poison gas, so that I'd go to sleep. Then, he kidnapped me, and brought me here. When I woke up, he was touching me, so I beat him up," Kaname explained again.
"I figured you were kidnapped, when you weren't at the hot springs," Renkotsu said, and turned to see Bankotsu walking over to the short kidnapper.
"Bankotsu, don't hurt him," Suikotsu said, "I want to…"
"I'm just going to ask him some questions," Bankotsu assured, walking past Suikotsu.
…
"Hey, what's your name?" he asked, looking down at the smaller man.
"Mukotsu!" the man smirked, looking at Kaname out of the corner of his eye, causing Bankotsu to glare.
"PAT ATTENTION!" Bankotsu snapped, making Mukotsu give him his full attention.
"How and why did you kidnap Kaname?" Bankotsu questioned.
"I opened a container of my special sleeping gas, that I created, so that she'd fall asleep. Once she was asleep, I brought her here. She was a pretty, young woman, I just wanted to bring her home with me!" Mukotsu explained, as if he did nothing wrong.
"Did you say you made your own sleeping gas?" Bankotsu asked, forgetting why he was mad at Mukotsu.
"Yes, and I also make poisons and poisonous gases that are dangerous to humans and demons!" Mukotsu said, noticing Bankotsu's interest in the matter.
"Well, I'm forming a band…" Bankotsu started.
"HELL, NO! HE TRIED TO RAPE ME IN MY SLEEP!" Kaname yelled.
"I'm very sorry, my beautiful maiden, I won't do it again. It's just that your beauty attracted me," Mukotsu said, trying to flatter the young ex-priestess.
"Really? Well, thank you, and I guess you can stay…As long as you don't try to rape me again. Perhaps, I can help you find a wife!" Kaname offered, a small smile on her face, which caused Jakotsu to scoff at the idea of another woman with them.
…
"Ok, I'm glad you two get along, now, and I'm proud to announce that…Mukotsu has completed our search for the final member, and we will be known as 'The Shichinintai!'" Bankotsu exclaimed.
"THAT'S NOT FAIR!" Kaname objected.
"You're a woman, you're not included," Bankotsu said, "I already went through this with you!"
"…Whatever…" Kaname grumbled under her breath, "I'm going back to the castle."
…
"Bankotsu, why don't you go talk to her?" Suikotsu suggested, and Bankotsu took the advice.
Author's note: Please review, and tell me how you liked the chapter, the next chapter is the last chapter, I only wanted 7 chapters, since there are really only 7 members of the Shichinintai, without counting my OC. The next chapter will be updated faster, since there's no school Tuesday, and I'm almost finished with my HW!
Jazzy Uchiha!
