It was the second day Naomi was spending with Bankotsu and his brothers. They seemed to walk around, everywhere, and then they would leave and come back. And here she was waiting again, near a village, out in the forest. Sitting on the ground, near a river she thought.

I wonder where they went again! It's been the third time they do this.

"Naomi, we'll be right back, we just need to euh… we'll be right back. Stay there!" Bankotsu would tell her

Her blue eyes looked around the grass and up the sky.

"Hey," Renkotsu said to Naomi. She looked up at him. She met up with his purple stripes across his face. "Bankotsu ordered me to come get you, Naomi." He said.

Naomi got up and smiled at him. His face grew a shade of pink.

"So, you have any powers?" he asked her, wondering why Bankotsu had brought her along.

"Euh…" she could not answer that. Not now.

-"Have any what?" Bankotsu asked as his sword lay on his shoulder.

Both Naomi and Renkotsu jumped at Bankotsu's surprise apparition.

"Bankotsu!" She yelled out happily, hoping he would forget his question. He sure did because he went around and brought her in his arms.

"Hehe, were done here for today. Come Naomi."

She followed him as he commanded it. Taking up her courage, she spoke.

"Bankotsu, I need to tell you something." She said. Ignoring the sound of her uneasiness in her voice, he smiled. "Whatever is it?" he asked, not knowing this was serious.

"It's about why my family left me. It's because…" she took a deep breath. "It's because I am able to heal demons." She said.

Bankotsu stopped walking and raised a brow. "You can heal demons?" he asked.

"Yes, I was born with the power to heal demons. So all the demons would come after my family and me so I would heal them. They would threaten us saying that if I don't heal them and restore their life that they will kill us. My family was not able to take it anymore, so they left me. I wanted to tell you, because if you are around me, demons will probably come around."

Bankotsu just stared back at her. So, no one can be perfect hen? He thought. What the hell am I saying? Except for me… that girl. I'll protect her from those foolish demons, who the hell do they think they are?

"Son of a bitch of a demon." He spat out. "Don't worry Naomi, with me, demons run away. No way they will come to you. Your family, they had to right to do this, some people are just born selfish." Bankotsu decided.

She looked up to him. So confidant and full of himself, unlike her.

"Okay thanks…" she said uneasily, she was not used to get so much positive attention towards her. She had been taught that her "gift" was bad. That it was her fault her family had so many problems. She constantly had to help evil, to keep her family protected. Such gift would become such nightmare.

"Listen Naomi, you don't need to worry, I have something to tell you myself. I am a murderer. I kill. People, demons, animals; all scared of me. That is who I am, and what I do. Trust me, demons will not come after you while I'm around, they will run away." He chuckled at his own truth.

"You… you live to kill?" she asked him, her eyes growing wide in fear.

Stepping in front of her, he spoke. "Yeah, I live to kill, got a problem with that?" he asked.

What a sudden move of change. I must of strike a nerve…

"Well, I don't think you should kill humans…" she whispered very lowly.

He looked at her again.

"Well, I don't think you're any better helping out demons, which will later on kill humans!" he yelled back.

Tears filled up her eyes. "Oh no… what have I said?" he asked outloud. "Come here Naomi." When she did not move he yelled it out louder. She moved to him and he hugged her. "I should not of have said that. But really, if I want to kill humans…" he just stopped talking. Rolling his eyes he looked up at the sky. Searching for an answer. Nothing came out, so he went on with life.
