"I'll kill you! I'll kill you all!" She screamed at the man who she called brother.
She fought and screamed as a group of strange men threw her into a carriage. The leader pinned her against the seat and raised his hand, a small bag with rocks inside and brought it down on the young ten year old girl.
"Riza! Riza! Wake up, you drunk!"
Yashimaru kicked Riza's leg. She awoke in a jolt. Her crystal blue eyes bright with surprise. Her long blonde hair tossed and tussled from her slumber.
"Whaaaat?" She moaned as she raised her arms to stretch.
"Boss is calling for us. All of us."
She tilted her head to the side. What could he want this time?
The group of bandits gathered deep in a cave.
"Alright Gang, There has been talk about the Band of Seven. Among them is Mukotsu. Some of you might remember him. He's a poison master that used to be employed with us. These amateurs have been taking our business! Our money! Are we going to let that fly?!" The leader hyped.
Riza rested her chin in her palm as she sat cross legged on the ground.
"How boring." She mumbled to herself as Katsu went on a rant about this stupid group.
"Riza!" Katsu, the leader of bandits pointed to her.
She had joined the group about a year ago. She worked for about 5 years as an assassin disguised as a traveling entertainer until her target overpowered her and brought her on as an assassin for his gang of bandits. Katsu found the young warrior as sexy as could be and deeply lusted after her.
"Hm?" She lifted her head.
"I want you to infiltrate them and bring back Mukotsu."
"Can I kill any of them?" She asked with a sly smile.
Katsu smirked.
"Kill whoever you want, little dove. Just bring back Mukotsu...Alive."
After the meeting Katsu pulled Riza to the side.
He pushed her back her back against the wall.
"Yes?" She asks him.
"You look beautiful today." He says.
His eyes roamed her body and face. She was a gorgeous young woman. Her skin was a gleaming shade of ivory, bright crystal blue eyes surrounded by long blonde eye lashes that only seemed to brighten her eyes. Her hair was a light golden blonde that reached down to her hips. Wavy and as wild as she was with fringes coming down to frame her face and a distinctive long piece that lays between her eyes.
Her narrow rib cage amplified her perfectly large and perky breasts. Her curves dipped into welcoming hips, slightly wide to acomidate her plump bottom. Her legs long and slim yet kept her size about 5'4.
Her perfectly full lips perked up in a soft smile.
"Thank you, monsieur."
Her native French accent thick like warm honey traveling down his throat.
He pressed his hands against the wall on either side of her head.
"I bet your pussy tastes as sweet as the little accent of yours."
She looked away for a moment. Annoyed yet slightly turned on by his persistence.
"You're quite direct today." She says pushing herself off the wall and pressing her body against his. She smiled lustfully as she could feel his rock hard erection.
"You have no idea how bad I want to fuck you." He said quietly.
Riza smiles a flirtatious smile and kissed his chin.
With a wink she ducks under his arm and walks away.
"I have work to do." She says over her shoulder.
He watched as her hips swayed delicately. Her black and red kimono hung to her every curve. It draped slightly off her shoulders, exposing her collarbone and décolletage. The opening of her kimono showed off her slender legs teasingly.
She sighed.
"Bunch of pigs." She grumbled to herself.
Since she was the only woman in the group all the men fought over who would bed her. Her brows furrowed. None of them won't even dare to touch her. Not only will she kill them but so would Katsu since he has the strongest claim of who will lay with her.
She liked Katsu. Not too much but enough to feel some lust towards him. He was a handsome man with his large frame, muscular built, long red hair and piercing amber eyes. But he was a pig. Though he claimed to be madly in love with Riza, he constantly slept with other women. Riza could bet that there was a woman or two in his bed at the moment.
Once alone in her room she began to sharpen her precious weapons. Slender dual blades connected by an unbreakable chain and throwing kunai knives.
"Riza!" A voice called out.
Riza looked up to see her companion standing in the doorway.
"Mamo." She greets with a smile.
Mamoru was the only male in the group that didn't wish to lay with her. He adored her happy go lucky attitude and violent tendencies. He stood a few inches shorter than her and preferred to dress in drag. His somewhat long white hair bounced as he walked into the room. His cute fox ears twitched with excitement.
His bright purple eyes scanned her face.
"Where are we off too?" He asked.
"We are off to scout a mercenary group and bring back a man that defected from us." She answered.
"What do we know about them?" The half fox demon Mamoru asked tilting his head.
"Hm. Not really much. Just that there are seven of them and have been highly successful in the past couple months." She answered.
"So Whats our plan?"
Riza smirked giggling softly.
"We test the waters. See what they're capable of."
Not too far away was a castle of an upcoming lord that had been destroyed. 200 warriors had lost their lives to only seven men.
"Ha! That was too easy!" Bankotsu smirked as he looked upon the castle engulfed in flames.
He and his men had successfully wiped out a rival clan.
Bankotsu turned to his men, shouldering his great halberd: Banryu.
"Let's go get paid, men!" He grinned.
The band of Seven headed to their client to receive payment. He felt prideful about his group. They had only banded together for a little over half a year ago but worked together in perfect unison. Each of the men were blood thirsty murderers.
"I can't wait to get paid! I'm going to go into town and lay with beautiful women. Multiple women!" Mukotsu blushed.
Bankotsu laughed.
"Hell Yeah! We'll find some good whores! Get drunk while we're at it!" Bankotsu slapped Mukotsu's back as they both laughed.
The band of mercenaries were on their way to the nearest town for drinks and women after receiving a hefty payment.
Bankotsu laughed and joked with his men. Renkotsu his second in command, Jakotsu his best friend, Suikotsu the doctor, Mukotsu the poison man, Ginkotsu, their walking weapon and Kyokotsu, the cannibal.
Together they make the Band of Seven. Mercenaries with rising fame.
"Time to get wasted off our asses!" Bankotsu raised his cup with a big grin.
"Cheers!" The men raised their cups and down the sake.
With a woman on each side Bankotsu flirted and wooed both into having a threesome.
That was until something, or someone caught his eye.
A glimpse of golden hair, disappearing within the crowded bar.
Riza kept her eyes open for the poison man, Mukotsu.
She wore a Simple all black kimono with a red sash tightly around her waist. The kimono draped off her shoulders exposing her slender neck and busting cleavage. The opening of her kimono exposed her leg up to her thigh, teasing all the men who's eyes wondered over her.
Her eyelids painted a soft red brown causing her bright blue eyes to stand out even more than usual. Her plump lips colored a soft pink, giving her a sweet almost innocent look.
She had styled her long blonde hair into a bun with her bangs framing her face.
No man could deny that she was an exotic beauty. Her European features caused her to stand out, like she was a glowing diamond.
"Mamo?" She calls out for her companion.
"Right behind you, Riza."
"I found our target."
She smiled as she watched the old man, Mukotsu drink to the point of not being able to stand.
"Excuse me, Monsieur." She called out to the bartender.
"Yes, my lady? What can I get for you?" He asked.
"A bottle of your finest liquor. Strongest one you got." She slid a few gold coins across the bar to him.
"Yes ma'am! Right away!" He took the money and pulled out a bottle of dark liquor.
"Thank you very much." She says with a kind smile.
'I'll need to disguise myself before I approach them so which of these little lambs will be my...prey..' Riza thought to herself as her piercing blue eyes studied all the females in the bar.
'There you are, little lamb..' Her cold gaze landed on a young beautiful woman.
Her short jet black hair cut just above her shoulders. Her bangs fell just past her eyebrows. Eyes as beautiful as amber. Her soft face innocent and kind. The sweet girl was a waitress at the bar. She was well liked and had a dazzling smile.
Riza smiled mischievously. Such innocence. The thought of corrupting that gentleness tightened her core. She was her target. Riza licked her lips walking up to the girl.
"Hello, Mademoiselle! I must say you are quite the beauty!" Riza says to the girl with a kind smile.
The girl blushed. Entrances at the young woman standing before her. Her light blonde hair, skin like ivory and bright blue eyes made her appear as if she was shining light from within.
Never had the girl seen such an exotic beauty.
"U-um t-thank you, you are too kind. Bbut I'm nothing compared to you!" She says embarrassingly.
Riza tilted her head. Confused at the girl's lack of confidence.
"Why do you speak those words? Do you not believe yourself to be beautiful?" Riza asked. Her thick accent spilling over her words like a mystical dance.
"Um, I..I..uh what can I do you for?" She quickly changed the subject.
Riza smiles darkly before giggling sweetly.
"I would like to know where the bath is." She requested.
"I was also a little embarrassed to ask if you can take me to them. I get lost easily." Riza laughed jokingly.
The girl giggled and smiled big.
"Yes ma'am! Right this way."
Riza smirked and licked her lips deviously as she followed the girl into a dark and secluded hallway that lead to the bathhouse.
Mamoru finishes his cup of sake and exhales loudly.
"A young child such as yourself shouldn't be in a place like this." A voice spoke.
"Shut up, Riza. You're one to talk."
Riza laughs as she sits down next to him.
He looks at her. Her prominent features hiddened by a face that was not her own. Mamoru knew it was her as soon as she spoke but if she didn't he would have never known. The mask she wore was perfect. Riza's light blonde hair hidden under short black hair, her blue eyes hidden under amber ones and her beautiful face hidden under the face of the pretty waitress who was too naive.
Mamoru whistled.
"That's one hell of a good job! You look like a completely different person! A real native to the land!" He complimented.
"Thank you! I learned this little trick From the mainland." She grinned.
She glanced back at the poison man, Mukotsu. He laughed and laughed with his comrades.
Riza smiled. She enjoyed seeing people laugh with friends, envious of the joy.
"Time to see if I can poke the bear a little." She smirked as she made her way to the band of Seven with a bottle of liquor and a knife up her sleeve.
