Ok I am going soft on you guys! I said that I would only update every 5 reviews, but since that's not happening, I might as well update.

twinkle twinkle LITTLE STAR- That's a good point. Mukotsu could, but I think he knows that Bankotsu would kill him if he tried. The use of killing the caterpillar? Well, it was just one of those extra things to add to the story. He was just upset.

On with the story!


Morning!

Kashia woke up in her room. She looked over to the side to see Bankotsu snoring away. His eyes were closed, and he had drool coming out of the side of his mouth. And his snore was kind of quiet kind of loud. His arm was above his head twitching, and his legs were in a weird position. Let's just say his whole body was out of place!

Kashia started to snicker at his position. Soon this snicker turned into a burst of laughter. Bankotsu jumped up out of his position and landed on his feet. He looked all around the room, and then at Kashia. She was rolling on ground holding her stomach, laughing her pants off. He looked at her with one of his eye brows raised. "What?" He asked.

She stopped laughing and wiped a tear away from her eye. She took a deep breath. "You should see yourself in your sleep!" She started laughing again. He stared at her like she was nuts.

"Ok… well we need to get goin' Mrs. Laugh Happy." He put his arms under hers and pulled her up. She almost fell back down, but he caught her in his arms. She blushed. He held her up for a few seconds and let go. He prepared himself for her to fall again, but she just there, looking at him big eyes. He poked her and she giggled. "Man, how can you be so energetic in the morning?" He asked.

"That's a good question. I don't know." She smiled. Bankotsu shook his head.

"Well you seem to be feeling better." He said. "Can help me find my clothes?" He was just wearing a simple white robe that Kashia let him borrow.

Kashia started to settle down and nodded her head yes. She looked around the room and saw a pile of white clothing. She pointed to it. "There it is."

"Oh, god I'm blind. Thank you." Bankotsu walked over to his clothes and picked them up off the ground. He took off the robe so he could put on his normal clothes. Kashia stared at him with wide eyes.

'Oh… my… god. O.O He is getting dressed in front of me! Look at his muscles… he has nice abs!' Kashia shook herself out of her thoughts and started to look for her own clothes. She found them by the door. She picked then and turned around. She jumped, Bankotsu stood right in front of her in his pants and shirt.

"Can you help me with this armor; it's always a pain to put on." He asked with a sweet tone.

"Of course. Turn around." She motioned for to turn around and he did so. She put up his arms slipped the armor right over his body. Then she adjusted it to his liking. "Is that too tight? Or is that just right?" She asked.

"No, it's fine. Can you do something else for me?" He started to blush.

"Yes, what is it?"

"Can… can you braid my hair for me?" His face was beet red now.

"Don't be embarrassed. Yes, I will braid it for you. Sit on that pillow over there." She told him.

She sat behind him and brushed his hair till it was completely straight. Then she parted it into thirds and started to braid it. When she got to the bottom she asked him for something to hold it in. He handed her a ribbon. She tied it neatly around the bottom and made sure it didn't look like a bow. She looked at her work and smiled. "All done."

Bankotsu felt behind his head and the braid. "This is the best job any one has ever done on my hair!" He commented.

"You're welcome." She got up and started to get ready. She got dressed behind a wall sorta' thing. She got done much faster than Bankotsu. She had on a purple, white, and blue kimono. Her hair was let down so it ran down to her butt. She brushed it so it looked nice and shiny. She had on one of her bandanas to cover her ears. Bankotsu smiled.

He slowly walked over to her and took off the bandana revealing her ears. "I like you just the way you are. No need to cover up." He said in her ear. He planted a soft kiss onto her lips, she smiled into the kiss.

"Ahem." They head someone clearing their throat and broke apart. They saw Jakotsu and Mukotsu standing in the doorway. "You two love birds done yet." Jakotsu said. 'When did they become a couple?' He thought angrily.

"Just about, I need to grab by sword and we'll be good to go!" Kashia said with envy. She ran over to the wall that had a rather interesting looking sword on it. It was a long blade that started small on the end and grew bigger at the top. It had a round ball that had claws holding onto it at the end of the handle. She grabbed the sheath that was below it. It looked like a stick mummy. It was wrapped with a strong leather strip, than went all the way around it. It had the symbol for fang on it.

She put the sword in its sheath and put it on her kimono. "Ready."

"Wow, nice blade. Got a name for it?" Bankotsu asked.

"Yes, it's weird to name a sword but yes I do. It's Sounga. It was my dads before he passed away." She said. She loved her mom and dad. Her dad was killed by a samurai while saving some other family he had, while her mom was killed by a demon much more powerful than her or her mom.

"I see. Well let's get going. We have a long day ahead of us." Bankotsu said. They started walking out of the hut and down the road. Crows were pecking at the corpses of the people. Kashia avoided looking at them.


Soon they were out of the village. Kashia looked back at the path they just broke off. She started to wonder is she should have done something for the village people just so they could rest in peace.

Bankotsu stopped inhis tracks. Kashia bumped into him. "Hey, what's going on?" Kashia looked past Bankotsu and saw someone. Someone she knew.


Oh I'm evil. So evil I can't even describe it. I really like this chapter. Not for how long or short it was, but because of the content. I thought it was a little romantic. As you can tell, there are some relations to some other peeps. PLEASE R&R!
