Co-Authors: Greendayluvr93- Rissa-niichan and KitsuneofDespair- Kit-niichan
Naraku was no where to be seen. Hiro, Koga, and Azira were trying to keep Ginta and Hakkaku safe. There were seven of them attacking. The first, a giant human who reeked of dead humans, was attacking Koga. The second had a female appearance and was fighting with a sword that was bending. He was also attacking Koga. The third and fourth were attacking Azira. The third was a short fat guy who was issuing poison. The fourth was a big man, made of metal parts with red hair.
The fifth sixth and seventh were all fighting Hiro. The fifth wore a light blue cloth over his head and had two purple markings going through his eyes. The sixth was a big guy with spiked hair, steel blades coming from his hands, and green markings on his face. And the seventh, he was tall with black hair back in a braid. He had a star like cross on his forehead and was almost killing Hiro. Kiki immediately recognized her friends.
"Sesshomaru, it's the Shichi'nintai!"
Kiki said with surprise.
"So the Band of Seven returns…"
Sesshomaru said more to himself than to Kiki.
"JAKOTSU! BANKOTSU! SUIKOTSU! RENKOTSU!"
Kiki screamed through the yelling. She jumped into the fight. As Bankotsu was about to lay the killing blow on Hiro, Kiki got in the way. Bankotsu's giant halberd, Banryu, sliced Kiki. Kiki screamed out in pain. She fell to the ground, next to Hiro, who had passed out.
"Kiki!"
Bankotsu called out, realizing who he had just hit. All the others stopped fighting and turned towards where Bankotsu stood.
"Jakotsu, come here! It's Kiki!"
Bankotsu said to the girly looking one. The other six gathered around. Koga and Azira took this opportunity to grab the children and go to Sesshomaru's side. Kiki stared up at the crowd of people.
"Kiki! Kiki are you alright?"
Bankotsu asked.
"Yea, I'll be fine Ban."
But, when Kiki tried to get up, she fell back to the ground, wincing in pain. At this, Sesshomaru walked over to the crowd. They moved out of his way. Sesshomaru bent down and picked her up. She cried out in pain.
"Get Hiro… don't worry about me Sesshomaru…"
Kiki said.
"You're my sister, not him. You come first."
Sesshomaru said softly.
"Ban… bring Hiro…"
Kiki said. Bankotsu and Renkotsu both bent down and picked Hiro up at Kiki's orders.
"Be careful with him Ban, Ren…"
Kiki said as she began to fade out.
"Hey, squirt, stay with us okay?"
Renkotsu said.
"Don't worry Ren…I'm not going anywhere…"
Kiki said. Her voice was getting softer. Her vision began to blur. She had already lost blood that day, but she was losing a lot now. Sesshomaru's kimono was now red.
"You two, follow me."
Sesshomaru commanded at Bankotsu and Renkotsu.
"Sess… I can walk… put me down…"
Kiki said. She really was dying. She wouldn't last long and they all knew it.
"If my sister dies, this Sesshomaru is going to kill you all."
Sesshomaru said angrily.
"Sess…chill out… I'm not going to die…I just need to sleep…I'm so tired…"
Kiki said, fading away. Her skin was white now. Her eyes were losing their shine. Her eyes were a light blue now.
"No Kiki, you can not go to sleep yet."
Bankotsu said.
"Why…why not Ban?"
Kiki said.
"Because I can't lose you… you'll d…"
Jakotsu cut Bankotsu off.
"Kiki-sama?"
Ginkotsu mumbled.
She didn't answer.
"Get her some help Sesshomaru!"
Bankotsu said.
"I can't move her right now… she wouldn't make it."
Sesshomaru said.
"Sesshomaru… is she…"
Jakotsu asked with tears in his eyes.
"I don't know homosekusharu."
(Homosekusharu meaning 'Gay One')
Sesshomaru said. His voice had a hint of worry in it.
"Sess…"
Kiki mumbled. Sesshomaru looked down at her.
"Sess…make sure Hiro, Koga, Azira, and the kids are okay…"
Kiki whispered.
"What's going on?"
Hiro mumbled as he woke up.
"Is Kiki alright?"
He asked unknowingly.
"She's dying Kitsune."
Sesshomaru said as he sat down and kept her in his lap.
"What?"
Hiro said his golden eyes wide.
"Don't you listen to him, Hiro. I'm fine…"
Kiki said her voice at regular tone. She was acting.
"Hey squirt, how do you feel?"
Renkotsu asked.
"I'm fine. Take Hiro and myself inside Akitoki's house now. Get some bandages from the kitchen, and bandage Azira, Koga, and Hiro up. Ginkotsu, Kyokotsu, you're going to have to stay out here."
Kiki ordered.
"Yes Kiki-chan…"
Ginkotsu answered. (If you know, Ginkotsu only uses real words when talking to Renkotsu, taunting his enemies, or angry. Meaning he deeply respects Kiki.)
"Yes Kikiza-sama."
Kyokotsu answered.
As the party began moving inside, Bankotsu asked,
"But what about you Kiki? I can't lose you…"
Bankotsu said a scared look on his face.
"Don't worry Ban… I won't leave you or anybody else…not just yet."
Kiki said with a slight smile. The 'just yet' part scared everyone who heard it. Did she have a plan? Sesshomaru laid her on Akitoki's bed. Bankotsu and Renkotsu put Hiro next to her. Koga and Azira sat on the sofa in that room. Suikotsu had changed back to normal by now. He was a doctor so, he started tending to their wounds; beginning with Kiki's, since hers were the worst. She had lost a lot of blood, but would be alright. After he removed her kimono, he saw her curse mark, but said nothing of it. He cleaned and wrapped up her injury.
Then, he moved on to Hiro. During the time of which Kiki had been being treated, Hiro nor anyone but Sesshomaru and Suikotsu had looked. When Suikotsu removed Hiro's kimono, she stole a few glances at his well carved chest. Bankotsu immediately noticed the bit of redness to her face and followed her eyes. He saw she was staring at Hiro's chest.
"HEY! YOU TRIED TO KILL ME! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME YOU KETSUNOANA!"
Hiro screamed as Suikotsu tried to treat him.
"Jakotsu…"
Bankotsu whispered into his older brother's ear.
"What Ban?"
Jakotsu whispered back.
"She's looking at him!"
He mumbled angrily.
"Kiki? Looking at that Kitsune? Don't be silly Ban! Who in the world would have any interest in a Kitsune such as himself?"
Jakotsu said reassuringly
"NO GET OFF OF ME YOU SEGARE NO IKEIKE!"
Hiro screamed as Suikotsu began to treat his wounds. (Segare No Ikeike means Son Of A Bitch)
"Really? She seems pretty interested now Jakotsu! Every one of us knows she likes the bad ass boys. And well, he just called Sui a son of a bitch…"
Bankotsu said a little louder this time. Nobody else, however, seemed to notice. Then, Sesshomaru spoke up.
"You seven, as soon as the doctor is done, get out of here. You have no business here."
"No Sess. Let Bankotsu, Jakotsu, and Suikotsu stay. Ren, take Ginkotsu, Kyokotsu, and Mukotsu. Take them away, alright?"
Kiki ordered. Sesshomaru looked a bit angered by his younger sister contradicting his orders.
"Alright squirt."
Renkotsu said, ushering Mukotsu outside. Hiro's injuries were very bad. He had lost a lot of blood.
"Well Sui?"
Kiki questioned about Hiro's injuries.
"It's pretty bad, but with some rest he should be alright Kikiza-sama."
Suikotsu answered respectably.
"Alright."
Was all Kiki said. Suikotsu moved on to Azira, whose injuries weren't that bad. After treating her, he moved to Koga.
"DON'T YOU TOUCH ME YOU PIECE OF SHIT! YOU ATTACKED US AND TRIED TO KILL GINTA AND HAKKAKU! STAY AWAY FROM ME! I'LL HAVE KAGOME TREAT MY WOUNDS!"
Koga screamed.
"You stupid Okami!"
Sesshomaru said.
"Kagome is in the hands of Naraku. As well as that hanyo Inuyasha."
"HEY PEOPLE! SHUT THE FUCK UP WILL YOU! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!"
Kiki yelled. Everyone turned to look at her.
"Watch your mouth, Kiki-niichan."
"No! Fuck, shit, bastard, asshole, fuck, fuck, and fuck!"
Kiki said defiantly.
"You're hopeless…"
Sesshomaru said, shaking his head and walking out of the room. Suikotsu finished up with Koga, who rushed out. Azira followed Koga, and Suikotsu followed Azira. That left Hiro, a sleeping Kiki, Bankotsu, and Jakotsu in the room. Bankotsu approached Hiro.
"Listen up Kitsune. You see her?"
Bankotsu said pointing at the slumbering Kiki.
"I hurt her because of you. It's your fault she almost died. She's mine. You hear? She will be my mate, not yours. So stay away from her will!"
Bankotsu ordered.
"What the hell?"
Hiro said.
"I have no interest in her! She's not my type! She's kind of pretty…too much of an attitude though. I don't like her okay!"
Hiro countered back at Bankotsu, just so Ban would leave him alone. Hiro was tired, and hated this guy for trying to kill him at the moment.
Kiki, who had awakened to the screaming, heard all of this. She sat up with a wince, stood up, and almost fell.
"Are you okay Kiki-chan?"
Jakotsu asked, holding her up.
"Whatever."
She answered. Then, she turned to Hiro and Bankotsu. Jakotsu backed off, knowing what was coming.
"Who the hell do you two think you are? You, Bankotsu, arguing with this Kitsune over whose mate I am! I am not a prize to be won! And you!"
Kiki said angrily turning to Hiro.
"Sorry I'm not pretty enough! Sorry my attitudes so strong. Sorry if that puts you off! So great! You don't like me, and I don't like any of you!"
Kiki finished very pissed off. She stormed out of the room. Kiki headed out the door of the cottage, ignoring the burning from the seal. She went around to the back of the cottage that she knew so well. Behind it, there was a stream, about twenty feet wide and four feet deep at the most. Kiki sat on the shore and looked into the water, wondering why she wasn't pretty enough. Why was her attitude so overbearing.
"Oh Shigo… why did you have to leave me?"
She questioned aloud. After what seemed like forever outside, Jakotsu came around the side of the house, smiling.
"Kiki-chan! It's time for dinner!"
Kiki hadn't even noticed that the sky had lost its light.
"Kiki-chan? Bankotsu is very upset about making you angry. As is that Kitsune."
Jakotsu said, stopping next to her. Kiki got up and looked up into Jakotsu's eyes.
"I suppose I can forgive them then."
Kiki said, knowing it was what Jakotsu wanted her to say.
"Great! Now, let's go eat! Azira and I cooked up some fish and meat; along with rice balls and ramen!"
Jakotsu said happily. Jakotsu began walking back towards the front door. Kiki followed him, preparing herself for the burning sensation when she walked through the door. As Kikiza stepped through the threshold, however, there was no burning.
"Oh yea, did I mention that Sesshomaru-sama took the seal off the door?"
Jakotsu asked happily. Kiki shook her head. The smell of food hit her nose, and she realized that she was suddenly very hungry. As she stepped into the kitchen, she took in the sight of food piled onto the table. It appeared that the table might break form the weight of all the food.
"It's about time Kiki!"
Koga bellowed.
"Sesshomaru wouldn't let us eat without you! Now can we eat?"
Koga whined. Sesshomaru nodded. Everyone scrambled for plates and grabbed some food, then moving to the living room to eat, since there wasn't enough room in the kitchen. Kiki took her plate, the last one, and went out into the living room. She sat in the corner and ate her assortment of fish and meat, rice balls and ramen.
After that, she quickly sat her plate in the kitchen and retired to Akitoki's bedroom, which Koga had declared hers, Sesshomaru's, and Hiro's. She didn't know she was sharing it, of course, but she would. She pulled out a dagger she had taken from Sesshomaru when he wasn't looking. Kiki sat on the bed, un-sheathed the dagger, and pressed the cold steel to her skin.
