"Hate me." By Blue October.

Naomi woke up in the dark of the cave. She had fallen asleep after Rei had finished with her. Now she was alone, cold and scared. For once in her life, she felt out of control. Totally out of control. Rei knew what he was doing, and she started to doubt that Bankotsu was stronger than him.

Where am I? I know I'm in his cave, but where is it? I was not able to look around me when he stole me. Am I really going to help him conquer Japan? I mean, I have helped evil most of my life, so what difference would it make now? Other than betraying Bankotsu for leaving him for Rei. I hope Bankotsu knows I don't want to be here! Ah, come save me!

"Finally awake."

Naomi spun around. She heard his voice. Hadn't she? It was Rei, but where was he? She could not see anything in the dark. But she knew he was smiling. Now she heard footstep, and…

A hand on her shoulder! Before she could scream, he put his other hand on her mouth.

"Hush you silly girl. Get up." He ordered her. Instead Naomi bit his hand. "Ahhhh! Are you insane? Biting my hand!" She took that time to crawl away from him.

"It doesn't matter where you are girl. I will find you. And you just ruined my good mood, for that, you will be punished." Not long after he found her crawled up in a corner. "Just like a cat. Small, hopeless and vulnerable." He bend down and with a snap of his finger, the whole room lit up.

What is he? A magician now?

He grinned at her. He then slapped her across the face. Naomi fell on her side and he watched her. Then he picked her up and brought her in his arms. She started to cry, as he held her tighter.

"Poor little Naomi. If you listen, I wont have to punish you." Turning around he snapped his finger. "D.K. come her now!" He let go of Naomi and she fell back on the cold ground.

D.K arrived in less than 2 seconds. "Yes brother?" He asked.

"I want you to feed the human. Get her ready for our journey. To the shard!" Then he walked out of the cave.

D.K. bend down and looked at her. He had his brown hair pulled back. "Listen- he said almost whispering- I don't want you to get hurt. If you don't make him angry, he won't hit you. Please, I don't like seeing humans get hurt, I am one, and I know it hurts when he hits."

Naomi just nodded. At least his brother was not a freak in the head. He was human after all. Maybe this time, she would have to be nice to him, until Bankotsu came. But did she ever not want him to kiss her again!

Naomi eat what he gave her, then followed him out the room.

Bankotsu will certainly find him. Then he will save me and everything will be alright.

"Brother, she is ready." D.K. announced.

Rei looked at her. "Alright then. Let's go."

Back to Bankotsu.

"Where are they? That stupid demon and Naomi? Where are they?" Bankotsu yelled out.

"Jezz, calm down there brother." Jakotsu started. He was glad Naomi was finally gone, but knowing it made his brother that crazy, maybe she should come back. "We will find her for sure. We have to ummm, think and search."

"That is what we have been doing and stills no sign of her!" Bankotsu barked back at him.

If I were a water demon, where would I be? He thought. Duh! In the water! He must be near the ocean!

"Come, I know where to go!" Bankotsu announced getting up.

"Where?" Surikotsu asked bored.

"To the Ocean." Bankotsu replied already walking away.

The brothers walked for five hours, and finally reached the Ocean.

"Arg, I'm beat. Can we rest here a bit Bankotsu?" Mikotsu asked. He pointed over a cave. "I'm sure it's cool there. We don't need to go in, but we can rest outside of the cave."

"I suppose we could rest a bit. I am hungry. But not more than an hour! We must keep searching for Naomi!" Bankotsu replied to the question.

Back with Rei

"What are they doing here? D.K. you were supposed to let me know if they found me! Look at them, there outside the door, sitting and eating! They are waiting until we come out!" Rei yelled. "This is not good. I can't fight all of them now; I need to save my energy for the journey."

Naomi was silently cheering. I knew Bankotsu would come for me! It was just a matter of time!

"Look at them, all casually eating. It's as if there just waiting until we come out. I can't stay in here forever." Rei pondered.

"D.K. leave the cave and tell them I'm already gone."

Back with Bankotsu

All of a sudden, the boys stopped eating. They heard noise. Someone was leaving the cave. They all turned and watched, biting into their fish. It was a human. It was D.K. the boy who had distracted them when Rei stole Naomi.

Why was he coming out of the cave? They all wondered.

"Listen, I know you are waiting for Rei to come out, but he isn't here." He announced.

"Uh?" Bankotsu swallowed. What is he doing here? And what is he talking about. Rei? Why would he tell us that he isn't here?

"What are you talking about?" Bankotsu asked getting up. D.K. backed away. "Are you telling me Rei isn't here? He is not in the Ocean is he? Where did he go, tell me now or I kill you."

"I am not telling you." He replied.

"Okay, then I am killing you." And with a swift of his sword, D.K. was dead.

"Aww, why did you kill him? He could of told us stuff if we would of tortured him" Jakotsu stated out.

"I killed him because I told him I was going too."

Back with Rei

"Why the little punk. He just killed my brother! That's it I'm coming out, and your coming with me." Rei decided

Authors note

I don't even know what this story is turning into. As soon as I start a story with a character I like, I stop liking him! This is what happened with Naraku and the girl and this story as well! Now I'm into Final Fantasy X. I love Auron!

Please review! That is the only reason why I'm writing this right now!
