The Surprise

Bankotsu was helping his father in the field today. Though he didn't want to, he had to work. He needed help his father get money. As he was shoveling the dirt, he couldn't stop thinking about his great gift he got yesterday. But thought about it to much, he got distracted and his dad in the head with the shovel. He kneeled down at a fast pace to his dad, who had a huge bump on his head. "Sorry dad! Are you ok?" he asked.

"I'm fine son. You have quite an arm! Hehe." His father joked around.

"I'll try to pay more attention next time."

"Why don't you help your mother in the hut? She probably needs help cleaning." His dad explained.

Bankotsu got up and started toward the hut. Once he got inside, he saw his mom sweeping up the ground. "Need help mom?" he asked nicely.

"I thought you were helping your father?" his mother replied

"I was, until I hit him in the head with the shovel…" he blushed a little bit when he said the last part.

"Why did you do that? You know your dad has an extremely sensitive head." His mom told him.

"It was an accident. I wasn't paying attention, and hit him in the head!"

"Oh well, he'll be fine. Come, I need help with the plants." His mother motioned him over. Bankotsu went to get the watering bucket. He went to the stream to fill it up. On his way back, Jakotsu ran up to him. He looked worried. Maybe something bad happened. (It's a long distance from the stream and the village.) "What's wrong Jako?

"It's your dad. He's fallen unconscious!" he yelled.

"What! Oh no, that's not good. He has problems waking up when he's not awake!"

"How do you get him up in the morning?" Jakotsu asked confused.

"We had to slap him awake."

Jakotsu looked at him weirdly. "Um, ok. Well whatever come on!" Bankotsu followed Jakotsu up the path to the village. 'This is my entire fault! I should have been paying attention!' Bankotsu thought on the way there. They finally reached the fields. It was a horrible sight. Fire was every where, and his father was in the middle of it. He tried to run through the flames, but Jakotsu stopped him in his tracks.

"What are you nuts? You'll be burned alive!" he screamed in his face.

"So will my dad if I don't save him!" he argued back. He twisted out of Jakotsu's grasp and ran toward the flames. It started getting hotter and hotter each step, and then he finally got in the middle on the fire, where his dad was. He shook his dad rapidly. No answer. He shook him again, only harder. "DAD! WAKE UP DAD!" he yelled at him. He started to cry. Then he remembered something, the halberd! He ran out of the flames and to the hut. He went into the room the halberd was sitting in. He ran up the sword, he tried to pick it up. No use. "If there was a time I wish I was older and stronger, it would be now." He cried to himself. He heard a big bang. He ran out side to that a tree had fallen, and in the place his dad was. He screamed and fell to his knees. He buried his face in his hands. How could this happen to him. What had he ever done? What? He sat there crying as the fire died down.

It was the day after Bankotsu's dad had died. He doesn't know why or how fire started either. It was weird. He heard around what was left of the village that it was demon. Some people said if was an evil demon named Naraku. How they found this out you ask? 'Cause just before the fire started, they a demon yell out "I am Naraku. You shall all parish!" His mother disappeared as well. Everyone thinks she tried to save her husband, but burned in the flames. Bankotsu was alone. No parents, no other family except his friend Jakotsu. His parents were killed in the fire as well. Many people died that day.

That day Bankotsu and Jakotsu stayed in their burned huts. Bankotsu's only possession he had left was his halberd. It was the only thing he had left of his parents. He would treasure it forever.

I think I'm going to cry. Poor Bankotsu:( Well please R&R.
