As the train gained speed, two young women sat silently watching the cinerary go by. One was the daughter of a respectable family her name was Rin. She was a beautiful eighteen year old girl with olive skin, dark brown curly hair and greenish eyes. She was an optimistic girl, nothing kept her from being happy and although her father had died a few years ago, she always kept a positive attitude on life. Right now, the said girl was reading a romance novel, which another young woman interrupted.
"Miss Rin, you know that your mother has prohibited you to read those books. She says that they fill your head with nonsense." Kim stated.
Rin only rolled her eyes and looked at her friend, "Oh, Kim, please don't tell my mother. These books are the only things keeping me from dieing of boredom. Please promise me you will not tell."
Kim looked thoughtful. She was supposed to report anything Rin did to her mother, but Rin was like her sister. Kim's mother had been in Rin's birth and she was her wet nurse, and since Kim was only a year older than Rin they had grown up together and became very close.
"Oh, Of course, I won't tell Miss Rin." Kim answered after a few minutes. Rin squealed with delight and went back to her reading.
Kim smiled fondly at the younger girl and started to remember the time Rin started to learn how to read. It was actually her brother, Andrew, who was the one learning. Women were not supposed to be educated, but since he was fond of his sister and Rin begged him to teach her, he obliged. It wasn't easy, but he would sneak her into the room where his classes took place. Of course, there was a catch, once Rin learned how to read and write she would do Andrew's homework. She was delighted when Andrew got good grades. It meant she learned well.
Once she was old enough to go into town alone, she bought several romance novels. Once she read one, Rin couldn't stop. It became harder and harder to keep it from her mother. The moment her mother found out she was furious, but with time realized she couldn't stop her. Kim smiled at her memories. It had been hard to convince Mrs. Yumiko, but they had finally persuaded her. It was at a great price though and Rin didn't know what she was given up to have her books.
'We are going towards the house of her future husband and she doesn't know. Should I tell her or should I leave her clueless.' Just when Kim opened her mouth to tell her best friend about her fate, the train started to slow down and screams were heard from behind.
"The Silverado's" was heard over and over from the passengers.
Both Kim and Rin looked at each other. Kim had a horrified expression and lean over to a surprised Rin and said "Miss Rin, please stay quiet. There's a legend about these men. They say that if you look at their leader's eyes he steals your soul."
Just when Rin was going to retort to her friend, the doors to the back of their compartment opened. First, came in a man not taller than 5'8 with sun kissed skin. He wore dark brown gaucho pants (you know cowboy pants like the ones in the movies) a white, worn out, long sleeve shirt with a brown vest on. The lower half of his face was covered with a red bandana and a hat adorned his head. The odd thing about this young man was not so much that he held a gun in each hand, but the color of his hair and eyes. His hair was white and his eyes were a golden color.
Next came a woman about 5'5 in stature. Even though she wore a black bandana over her face, she mesmerized all the men. Her outfit was a dark brown sway skirt that was split on her right side to allow movement. Her white corset out lined her curvaceous body and her curly black-blue locks framed her delicate face. She looked fragile, but her blue eyes showed that she was strong and dangerous.
Lastly, a tall man walked in. His pose was very different from the other two; he looked calmed and he seemed to glide through the isle looking at people in the eye making them squirm in there seats. Once in the middle of the compartment, he spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you would please deposit your valuables into the bags my friends have, no one will get hurt." Every one looked horrified, but complied with his request.
Rin noticed that the tall man looked similar to the other one, yet they were too different. This man seemed to be about 6'1 his long hair reach behind his knees, and his eyes look an amber color instead of gold. His eyes were cold instead of jovial. The shorter man looked to be nervous and excited all at the same time, but he looked as if he was just walking and talking to a stranger in the street, no emotions showed on his face. He wore a similar outfit than the other, but he wore all black.
Rin stopped looking at the tall man when the young woman stopped in front of her. "Come on, I don't have all day, give me what you have."
"I don't have anything with me, ma'am," but her answer was not good enough because the young bandit reached for Rin's breast and tore a silver pendant. As a result, Rin's protest was heard though out the compartment, "Please, it's not as valuable as the other things you have collected and it's my only memory of my father, you can't take it away."
At hearing the protest, the leader walked to where Rin and Kim were seated. His rich deep voice cut through any argument Rin was going to make, "What are you doing?" his voice was directed not towards his comrade but to Rin. Kim was petrified that they would harm Rin and answered for her "It was her father's last gift before he past away. It is her greatest treasure not because of its value, but for its meaning," by the time Kim finished Rin had began to sob.
Their leader looked at Rin for the first time and saw that she was crying looking at the pendant with longing. 'She's beautiful' He thought, and looked at her from head to toe. Her curly brown hair frame her heart shaped face, her olive skin glowed with the sun behind her and her pink luscious lips looked ripe and ready to eat, and her peach dress hugged her in all the right places, but what captivated him the most was her eyes. They were looking straight at his. They pleaded with him to let her have her father's pendant; the pain of loosing something so sentimental was shown clearly, but he also looked at the innocence she seemed to have something he had not seen in anyone except a child. Her innocence made him want to laugh, but he restrained himself. For some reason, he liked it and surprised himself by looking at the female standing next to him and said, "Leave it." That's when the third member of their party came back front the back of the compartment and a gunshot was heard. All three looked at each other and that's when they bolted out of the train.
A/N: Hey guys if you haven't figure out who the bandits are well its Sess, Inu and Kagome. Sango and Miroku will also be in the gang and will appear in the next chapter. Please Review and I will make it worth you while.
