"No matter how dark the night, morning always comes." –Lulu, Final Fantasy X.
Naomi sat on a rock pondering. This was a weird situation. She could heal demons, and Bankotsu killed humans. Like he had said, she is not any better. The demons she healed later killed humans. This was a situation worse than the one with her parents. Back then, she had to heal them because of the jewel, and now she doesn't really need too, because Bankotsu will kill them. He kills both humans and demons.
Naomi looked at him. He was handsome. He was strong and muscular and tall. She loved his down to earth personality. Then she looked over at his other brothers. They all seemed bored walking around following him. For some reason, she did not really feel like she fits in their group. She could kind of be their enemy, since she can heal what they kill. She sighed.
The clouds were all over the sky, covering any traces of sunlight, if there even was a sun today. (Because there is a sun during the day and none at night Naomi believed the sun would come and go.). As they approached a village, it started to rain a little bit. The nice green grass started to sparkle. Bankotsu and his gang did not seem to notice. But Naomi did, she was human after all.
"Bankotsu, do you think we could stop to rest at the village a little, until the rain stops?" She asked.
Bankotsu kept walking and glanced at her. "Yeah, I suppose we can stop." He commented with bored ness.
At the village, they entered a small restaurant and Naomi ordered rice and fish. Bankotsu threaten the manager that if he did not let them stay, he would kill him. Of course, the manager knew who The band of Seven was, so he let them stay. Naomi felt guilty about eating. Worse, she didn't like the fact that this is how Bankotsu lived. Scaring others, threaten them to their lives to get what he wanted.
Silently she ate, listening to the rain drops. Out of surprise, she felt a hand over hers. She turned and looked. Bankotsu was sitting, not looking at her, but talking with Jakotsu.
He is so confident. She thought blushing. I like him for that, but I also don't like the fact that he kills so much! I… I don't know what to do. Maybe I can get help or advice from someone.
Naomi decided to get advice right after this. She told Bankotsu she was going to get food for the rest of the day. But she really was going to the Osaka temple.
Naomi entered the temple quietly. There seemed to be no one in it. She took off her sandals and walked in. She stopped in front of the statue.
"Beautiful eh?" A voice asked from the right. Turning around to face a monk, Naomi was surprised.
"Yes, it is a nice statue Monk." She answered. Maybe I can ask the Monk about my problems. I bet he could help.
"Mr. Monk, do you think you could help me?" She asked him.
He smiled. "Of course, what is the problem?" The monk was around 30 or so, with brown eyes and no hair.
"Well, the man I like kills-" Before she could finish, the monk interrupted her.
"Killing is evil young woman. We should not seek evil." Then he bowed and left.
AHHHH! So much for that! AHHHH! What am I going to do? Note to self, never ask monk for advice. They don't listen. Maybe I am not even supposed to ask monks for advice. Who knows? Oh, I better get back to Bankotsu.
Running back to the restaurant, she realized she has not even bought any food. Great.
"Finally, your back, what took you so long?" Bankotsu asked angrily.
"I could not find any food."
He just looked at her. "The rain stopped lets go."
And with that they left on to their journey.
From far away, watched Rei, a half demon. Rei had long blue hair tied in a pony tail, green eyes and a handsome smile. He was a water demon. Half water demon, half human. And hearing that Naomi can heal demons, he smiled.
Imagine that, a woman, a pathetic human, that can heal demons. What has the world become? I must have her. Those dumb guys with her are in my way.
"Well, looks like were going to have to battle this." He said pointing out to himself the group. "I need that girl, so whenever I am hurt, she can heal me."
Rei had heard about her, like many other demons. He hoped this could make him a full demon. Because, if she can always heal him when he is hurt, he can fight his way to the Shikon No Tama Jewel shard. Rumors are that it can make you the strongest being of all lands. And if you are the strongest being of all lands, you are also, a full fledge demon.
