Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha

a/n--It is another snowy day here in Canada, and I've got nothing better to do than write another chapter of this story. Ironic, I started it today too. Who knows, I may finish it today as well. Don't count on it thought!

----------------------------------------

Part Two

Bankotsu stood and watched Sesshomaru's wench as she approched, stopped to stare at him, then turn to leave. He was about to sit back down when a thought struck him.

He could use her as bait.

Sesshomaru wasn't an idiot, so she must have some form of training, and, being the materialistic whelp he was, maybe even claimed the girl as his mate. Not that he knew for sure, but this was reason speaking, for once, and he wasn't about to pass up a good chance at getting his old life back. Not just him, his brothers too.

He jumped to his feet and ran after her. She obviously heard him, for she ducked down as he pounced on her, causing him to miss her entirely. He grinned evily. The insufferable mutt had trained her. This could prove to be interesting.

oOoOoOo

Rin heard Bankotsu coming and dropped out of his way just in time. He soared over her head and landed gracefully. She found it odd how alike the undead and Sesshomaru were. But her thoughts ended there as Bankotsu came at her again. She rolled out of the way this time, then got to her feet and ran.

She felt feverish relief at not seeing his Banryu. She wouldn't have stood a chance against it. She ran for the nearby trees, hoping to find a hiding place among them.

But Bankotsu lunged again and she ended up on her stomache.

"Goning somewhere, sweetheart?" He breathed in her ear. She bit her lip. What had she done to gain his attention anyways?

oOoOoOo

Bankotsu was quick to give her a swift hit to the head. It wasn'tt hard, but just enough to knock her out. She would be enough trouble with weight alone. He lifted her, leaving her weapons in place, and carried her back to his brothers, one of which had awakened.

Jakotsu watched his strained movements, as he set Rin down by the fire. Her skin was freezing!

"The dog demon's wretch?" Jakotsu, leaned over her and brushed her hair away from her face. He looked up at Bankotsu, his face expressionless. "What do we need her for?"

"Her master is the current wielder of the Tensegia." Jakotsu shook his head, showing he didn't follow. "The sword of resurection."

"It brings thing back to life?" Jakotsu sat up straight again. "I suppose you are planning something, brother."

"We can trade her for true life. We could use the jewel shards in our necks for better purposes, like strengthening our weapons and other stuff." Bankotsu smiled. "Think of all the people we could kill."

"And until then, she's just another mouth to feed." Jakotsu said, looking at the girl again. "But it is a good plan, Bankotsu. I would like to live again."

"And until we find Sesshomaru, she can be our slave or something."

"As if she'd be willing." Jakotsu looked over at Renkotsu, who had spoken this truth.

Bankotsu grinned evily. "Who said she had to be willing. We'll just hit her if she misbehaves."

"Killing her would be easier." Renkotsu stood and moved to look down at Rin. As he knelt, he said, "Lets have a look at your face."

"She's pretty, in an almost butch kind of way." Jakotsu's fingers were now gently toying with the girls hair. "That mutt certainly hasn't let her live for free."

"No one lives for free." Renkotsu drew one of her knives. "No matter how well."

"Nice steel. Proves how much the dog cares about her." Jakotsu stretched. "And, yet, he can't spare my beloved Inuyasha any kind feelings."

Bankotsu rolled his eyes. Jakotsu was hopeless.

"Let her keep her steel, Renkotsu. We'll only take it if she's a bad girl. I doubt she'd want to loose such precious metal." Bankotsu watched as his brother slowly placed the blade in its proper place. "It'll save us the trouble of having to protect her."

Renkotsu watched Rin for a moment longer, then went back to his patch of dirt. "As long as I get those knives when we kill her."

"If we kill her." said Jakotsu. "I might like to keep her. I've always been the parental type."

"We won't be keeping or killing her. I keep my promises. When we make the deal with Sesshomaru, we give her up. I'll even give information on Naraku if that's what he wants."

"Fine." his brothers chorused before settling back down. Jakotsu was about to pull Rin into his grip when Bankotsu pulled the girls' head into his lap. No need for her to feel molested in the morning. Jakotsu glarred at him for a moment, then turned his back on them.

This was going to be one hell of a journey.
