'To the extent of kindness these men can reach HE was very kind to me.' Yuki thought to herself as she stared at the innocent looking Bankotsu who was sleeping. Of course this false innocence was shattered when the massive sword he owned was seen beside him.

Yuki got up and went on to prepare breakfast.

'What the hell do people eat here for breakfast? No cereal, no milk, no coffee... what am I suppose to make?'

those were her final thought before she began to feel funny. Her feet failed her and she fell to the ground, completely paralyzed.

"Well my pretty, you cook, you clean and you are absolutely gorgeous. You shall be my bride." She heard the familiar voice of the hideous Mukotsu.

'What the hell is he talking about? No way in hell I'm marrying him!'

He dragged her into one of the abandoned rooms where the scent of burned flesh still lingered.

It was obviously a girl's room because he was looking threw the closet while throwing kimonos out like they were old rages.

"AH! Here is one suitable for my beautiful bride!" he showed her a red kimono that had a silver dragon pattern circling the dress.

"Do you like it?"

"I knew you would! You will look so beautiful in this."

'I hate it! And I hate you! Leave me alone!' she wanted to scream but was unable to move her lips.

'If only this damn paralysis would wear off…'

"You know, my pretty, not too many girls loved me, actually, no girl ever loved me… until now! I know it's only because of my looks…"

'Looks? I think your bigger problem is your personality! Creep!'

"Let's dance, shall we?" he lifted her motionless body and twirled around with her clumsily.

'Why is this happening to me? I want to go home; I want my mom and dad… I miss my family so much…'

"That is enough dancing. Now you need to get ready for our wedding."

He took some red lipstick and spread it on her lips in an uneven form. Then he took the white makeup and pored it all over her face.

"Such a lovely geisha.'' He pointed out.

'Geisha? Oh lord…'

"Your make up is all done! Here take a look." He lifted a mirror to show her.

'I look like a clown, this is ridicules. What the hell is his problem?'

"Now we will put on your pretty dress."

After saying that he began undressing her.

'NO, NO! HELP! SOMBODY PLEASE!' Her mind screamed but her body couldn't react.

After a bit of a struggle from his side, Mukotsu took the top part of Yuki's kimono off exposing her chest.

"Such a lovely body, and soon you will be mine!"

'Please, someone, anyone, HELP ME!'

Her prayers were finally answered when a voice called from behind:

"Mukotsu! What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

"Oo-aniki… um, well you see…"

before the deformed midget had a chance to react Bankotsu lifted the poison master and punch him in face.

'Bankotsu…my eiyuu…'

"Gomen, Oo-aniki, I did not know you cared so much for this woman."

"This isn't about her; it's about YOU disobeying my orders!"

'And then again maybe not…'

"Now, I have an assignment for you," 'Far away from her… here, I mean…' he thought to himself, "You will go after Jakotsu and aid him with finishing off that nuisance, Inuyasha."

'INUYASHA! What in bloody hell's name…'

"Now go, get out of my sight."

"Hai, Oo-aniki." Mukotsu faded into the distance.

"Don't worry," Bankotsu said to Yuki, "the poison effect will wear off in a few hours."

He then picked her up and laid her on the futon.

"This room belonged to the hime…" he said to no one in particular.

Thank you so much, everybody, for your reviews, you're all great!

And here is the japanenglish dictionary:

Hime- princess

Eiyuu- hero

Gomen (nasai)- sorry

That's it, I think… well again thank you so much and I hope you enjoy the story!
