"Life moves on, move with it." –From teen tarot.

Yori walked around in the new destination where she had settled in the night before. Mount Hakurei, Naraku had said. She looked around; to her it seemed pretty much the same thing as the other old castle they were in. It was dark, cold and empty. As she kept on walking around, she heard from not far away a voice. None that she recognized. It was not Kagura or Naraku, and even less Kanna. As she kept on walking, the more she could hear his voice. It was a male voice, and he seemed to be around 17 years of age. As she approached more, she could see a tall guy standing arms folded. He had a long black braid and was wearing this outfit that she had never seen before. She could tell he was strong by the way he was talking to this other guy.

"No, let me take on Inuyasha." The first guy said.

"Naraku told me I was the one killing him!" The guy with the braid answered.

"Well, I'm going to go and stop him then. See ya later when he's dead." The other one replied.

"Don't even think about it! I'll be the one killing Inuyasha!" The braid guy said.

The other one left, and he turned around. Yori immediately hid behind a rock, he was starting to walk closer to her.

"Hey, who are you?" the braid guy asked.

Crouching more on the ground, Yori then noticed he was talking to her!

"Oh me?" she blurted out. The guy raised a brow. "I am Naraku's…" she was quiet. I am Naraku's what? I don't even know myself! Before the guy could say anything, she asked him the same question; "who are you?"

"I am Bankotsu from the band of seven. You must be one of Naraku's whores." He decided.

Yori's face grew red with anger. "I am not his whore!" she yelled out at him getting up. Bankotsu just laughed in her face.

"Really then? What are you women?" he asked grinning.

"My name is Yori, and if you want to know so much, ask Naraku yourself!"

"No can do Yori, I've got business to do. But before I leave…see you later women… Yori." He called out as he disappeared.

After Bankotsu left, Yori went on and reached her destination. Food. She ate a vegetable rice stew, and had water… that Kagura prepared. Then she left again, trying to find something to do.

As she went on and walked, she suddently ran right into Bankotsu. Yori fell on the ground of the cave and Bankotsu stayed up. Apparently her bumping into him only made her fall.

Laughing, he handed out his hand to pick her back up. A grin curled up his lips. "Now I see why Naraku keeps you." He whispered. Yori's heart started to beat fast. Then Bankotsu took a step closer, and one of his hands grabbed her back pulling her on him. "Um, Yori." He whispered in her ear. Her face went completely red. Naraku had never said her name in that way.

Bankotsu's lips touched her neck, kissing it all to the way down. One of his hands moved towards her lower back. And then, he kissed her right on the lips. His lips sweet and gentle, unlike Naraku's suffocating embraces.

Okay, maybe Naraku is not that rough, but every time he kisses me, I'm too scared to notice anything. But why is it I'm calm with Bankotsu?

"Yori." He moaned in her ear, making her melt. He pulled her closer to him, and he was about to deepen the kiss, but someone interrupted him.

"Bankotsu." Hissed out an evil voice.

Bankotsu let go of her completely, and Yori fell on the ground… again.

"Bankotsu, what did I tell you about my hostages?" he asked him seriously.

Hostage? She thought.

"Never to touch them, I know. It won't happen again." He answered so casually and left.

Then the burning red eyes of her master fired on her. He walked up to where she was sitting on the ground. She closed her eyes and placed her arm on her face. Getting ready to get punished.

"Yori." He breathed. "Did he hurt you?" he asked. Her eyes flew open.

What? He is asking me if I am okay? What the hell?

"Well are you or not?" he asked louder. She moved her head as a "no". He rolled his eyes and brought his hand out. As soon as she grabbed it, he pulled her right up. His right hand cupped her chin, forcing her to look in his face. After a long gaze he let her go. And the master left just as fast as he had arrived.

Confused, Yori decided to get as far as possible from men. How can I get feelings for Bankotsu and Naraku? This does not make sence. But Naraku looked… jealous? But his eyes looked…hurt? Impossible! Naraku does not get such feelings from what I've heard and seen. He was probably just angry that someone else got to touch me or something…

She went on and walked, until she heard people taking again. "I'm surely not alone in this new place." She said to herself. Looking again, she saw a woman with dark brown hair in a familiar costume. And a monk with familiar hair. I know them! It's Miroku and Sango! She gasped so loudly that they turned around and faced her in as much surprise as her.

"Miroku! It's Yori!" Sango yelled out. "She must still be with Naraku!"

"Tell me Yori, is Naraku in mount Hakurei?" he asked her.

"I can't answer any of your questions!" she yelled out. "But I can tell you this, leave before he kills you!" She did not want another person to die by his hands.

Then Yori ran away. Far, far away in the near end of the mountain. I have to get away from these people!

Unfortunately, her wish was unheard, because Bankotsu was back.

"Is that you Yori?" he asked.

"Yes its me." She answered silently.

He started to laugh. "Don't worry, this time I did not come here to steal a kiss from you. Though, it's tempting." He flirted with her. "Oh yeah, Naraku told me to tell you to stay away from the Inu gang. He said he does not want you talking to them anymore." He looked at her again. "Yeah, that is about it. See you."

Yori just closed her eyes. She was sick of everyone telling her what to do. Commands all the time. From Naraku to Bankotsu, she was sick of it.

I can't wait until we leave from here.

Yori just closed her eyes, and tried to fall asleep. As she was sleeping, Kagura led her out of Mount Hakurei and then the whole fighting began.

Authors note.

Bankotsu will only appear in this chapter. It's when there is only him and Jakotsu left. Then after this one, he will die (like he did in the episode) and the story will only follow with Yori and Naraku relationship.
