Creamii: MWAHHAHAH I AM BACKKK!!!!! OK! Since only one person (thank you, Yuti-Chan) voted in the separate story or constant flash back dilemma; I've decided to just work on the one story. Yay~ BUT OF COURSE! Thank you to all my reviewers! Without you people I might've stopped updating this story!

Of soooo… Um…. What happened last time again? I forgot! XP

Her spirit… didn't seem to mind though… It was as if… she totally forgot…

I'll ask her later; and with that I shook my head, free of complicated thoughts that numb my brain.

Banryu now purified of its demonic aura and cleansed off from the girl's blood; struck to the ground. The blade reflected my ghostly figure with the unconscious body of Azuhina in my arms.

Should I bring Banryu with me to hell or should I risk my halberd being taken again by that pathetic human?

"Leave Banryu here; I'll watch over your halberd… You're running out of time…. GO!"

I didn't need to see to believe; Michiko's spirit was right behind me. I knew it.

"Ban-kun, go!"

She rushed me ahead, so I quickly ran, I ran into the endless labyrinth of trees. Not bothering to look back; and not bothering to consider where I was going I just ran.

And when I reached to the end of the woods, I stopped. In front of me was a huge black vortex, where the vortex leaded to?

Hell.

Creamii: yeah… YOU MUST READ THIS! I am going to start with a flashback and its gunna be written in Bankotsu's POV.

(I'm telling you this why? Because don't you find it annoying when the chapter starts and it goes like I blahblahblah turned on the TV? I don't know about you but I find it VERY irritating. I mean 'I' could be anyone! So yeah… that's why I'm telling you who's POV is it. Because it's annoying NOT to know… OK SHUT UP ME!)

And it is also going to be in italics so you don't get confuse and think it's present time (of course you won't because you people are so dam smart).

Bankotsu: Um… Yeah… To save you; the reader from the author's (Creamii/ Sychronicity) from her endless chatter. I would now do the disclaimer in which she forgot to do in her previous chapters.

Sychronicity does not own I, Bankotsu nor the other Inuyasha characters that may appear in this story (Basically she does not own Inuyasha). She only owns the plot and her OCs.

Creamii: Thank you so much, Bankotsu. Now to reveal his past.

Enjoy Bankotsu's past in HIS words!

Bankotsu: -mutters something about not being paid and that's is none of our business-

"I promise that I'll get you out, even if it costs my life."

"I have fate in you, just don't betray it ok? Not like you would anyway…"

I could only smirk as she said that. I knew it was the wrong thing to do; she doubted me and she was hesitant.

She smiled and started again.

"Of course you won't betray me."

Her voice seemed softer than before, and yet so heart-warming. I wanted to reply to her but she put her index finger to her lips and made a slight hushing sound and nudged her head to the stairs.

Tap! Tap. Tap!

Some one was coming, Michiko wanted to say.

"Lean against a wall or something! Whoever's coming is going to think we're up to something!"

She harshly whispered. I looked at the stairway.

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap!

I quickly leaned by a wall and stared into empty space with a bored expression on my face; I crossed my arms like I was pissed off about something. And indeed I must act out I was.

Through the corner of my eye, I watched Michiko as she quickly sat herself down on the far wall opposite of where I was standing. She adjusted her bangs so they would cover her eyes and lay her head in her hands.

In between her fingers she casted me a worried glance.

I gave her the same look and glanced at the stair case.

Silence.

Well not really silent because of Jakotsu's loud snoring but ignore that! (Besides the poor guy can't help it!) It was dead silent and as I guess the guys that were coming down weren't having a conversation! Not one single word!

Finally the door burst open and Suikotsu & some other guy entered the room.

I sighed in relief when I saw Suikotsu but Michiko gasped as she saw the other guy. The other guy smirked at her and I didn't like AT ALL.

Gawr. Michiko cast me a look of concern as if to say

'HEY! Is the guy with aqua green triangles on his face your companion?'

I nodded slightly and she nodded back; a little relief in her eyes.

My mouth curved a little; I could hear her soft voice in my head.

'Don't worry, he won't kill you. None of us would; I'll guarantee you that.'

'OK good. Well, if I get attacked or something don't jump in ok?'

'Why?'

'Because.'

She wasn't going to tell me; that's for sure.

"Hai, Hime-San"

She turned to me; ready to protest but just shrugged it off.

Suikotsu nudged me and turned his head to Jakotsu.

"Wake him up."

I nodded.

I strolled over to Jakotsu; and squatted down.

"OUI!!! Isn't that a bishounen over there??!!"

As I said Bishounen (which means beautiful youth (for males) in Japanese), it was as if it was some kind of trigger word and Jakotsu immediately woke up.

He looked around frantically for the 'bishounen' I spoke off earlier. When you found out that there was non; he frowned and pouted

"Bankotsu-oo-aniki is so evil."

'Oo-Aniki? You gotta explain that to me later!'

(Oo-Aniki = Big brother)

I smirked; for both reasons. Because watching Jakotsu pout was hilarious and the curiosity in Michiko's voice.

'Stop smirking you jerk.'

'I'm not the one behind bars.'

'-Grunts-'

"You must be the leader? Am I correct?"

I turned to the other guy. I paid attention to his appearance; and I was amazed that Jakotsu wasn't interested.

The guy had messy black hair that reached to his back and bloody eyes. His face was full of scars and I swear I thought I saw his head bleeding.

"Youngest too heh? Great, that makes the two of us!"

(A.N Ok… I want to change it but it would screw the whole thing up… Soo ignore the big brother and youngest stuff 'bout Bankotsu. SORRY!)

I grunted. He looked WAY older than me.

"Who are you?"

The guy laughed.

"Ah! Sorry my boy, I'm so used to having everyone know who I am; I forget to introduce myself to those who don't! Hahaha! I am Toshiro! Captain of the palace guards in Lord Taisun's reign!"

"What are you now?"

I muttered that in a pretty rude way. And he probably heard too.

"Lord what's his face's secretary!"

Lord what's his face… Wow…

"Toshiro… Not that loud…"

Michiko whispered. Didn't she hate this dude?

"It's the guard's lunch break."

"And those pigs couldn't wait another minute!"

Jakotsu joked.

"Couldn't even sleep a wink!"

He yawned. I sweat dropped, wasn't he snoring?

"So what's your business here?"

I asked. Toshiro turned towards me and smiled

"Why, I am Michiko's fighting instructor."

"What?"

Jakotsu, Suikotsu and I questioned in unison.

Toshiro laughed and Michiko covered her ears as if his chuckle burned her ears.

He didn't notice and kept on laughing.

"SHUT UP!"

Jakotsu snapped. I opened my mouth to say something but I wouldn't want to mess with an angry Jakotsu.

Toshiro jumped and slapped his mouth shut.

Michiko sighed and as she let her hands fall from her knees, she whispered

"Where is he?"

I didn't think anyone heard at first but when Toshiro announced that he was away and we could use the field. I started to wonder if he knew something that I didn't.

Michiko nodded and Toshiro unlocked her cell.

Michiko stood up and walked over to the exit and she nodded at me. Her head slanted to Toshiro.

'When I say go; we run.'

I nodded back.

Toshiro threw a dark brownish-green cloak at her. She caught it and wrapped it around herself. Pulling up the hood, we ascended up the stairs.

I looked around to check if there were any guards nearby, there was none.

I nodded at Michiko, Jakotsu, Suikotsu and Toshiro. They all nodded in unison and Toshiro walked ahead; leading us towards the 'field'

Creamii: FINALLY I'm finished! Um yeah I had a writer's block in the middle sorry . I apologize for my terrible grammar and….

REVIEW PLOX!
