Chapter 4

~Bankotsu~

I awake to cold water lapping against my face.

"Uh, where am I?" I think out loud. Oh that's right I was pushed of a cliff by Jakotsu...I guess I ended up downstream. I was still weak from being unconscious and manage to pull myself onto my knees. I must have got knocked out... I notice the dull pounding against my temple and touch my hand to my head. A sharp pain rips across my forehead and I pull my hand back, it's all bloody. I look down and notice some of the rocks below me have a red tinge to them. I stand up and immediately feel light headed. Damn, how much blood have I lost? I feel faint... I suddenly remember getting swept downstream and hitting my head against a rock, then everything went black.

I walked out of the water, legs heavy, and venture into the forest. I stop and look up at the starry night sky, how long have I been unconscious? I realize that I'm missing something. Oh, great. I really hope Banryu isn't at the bottom of the river right now...That's going to be pain to fish out. I subconsciously smack myself in the head for being so clumsy but cringe when I remember that I'm injured. I suddenly stop when I hear a hauntingly familiar voice just behind me.

"Looks like he's finally awake, you were unconscious for quite awhile." I spin around and come face to face with Jakotsu who is sitting on a low branch. "I'd rather my victims be conscious when I hack them to pieces. That way I get to see the funny expression on their face." He says teasingly, he raises his hand to his mouth and smiles. He had obviously been sitting there for a while because he had a comfy position against the tree, he had been waiting, waiting and watching.

Damn it…he's still possessed.

Jakotsu smirked when he noticed my angry expression. "Well then! Lets do this!"

Jakotsu whips out his Jakotsuto and swings. I jump out of the way in time but step over a root and fall flat onto my face. Oh crap. A sweat bead rolls down my face andI roll to the side narrowly missing getting chopped in half by Jakotsuto.

"Jakotsu! Listen to me!" I scream, "You are not yourself! Snap out of it you're possessed!"

Jakotsu looks at me confused. "What do you mean big brother?" Jakotsu starts to raise his arm preparing to swing again "Because I have never felt better!" Jakotsu drags his sword across the ground throwing dirt into my face and flicks it back. I move fast, with blades coming for me at every angle I dive behind a large tree trunk. Blades cut through the branches all around me and I feel warm liquid run down a cut on my cheek. I wipe the blood off and duck. Jakotsu cuts through the trunk with a single blow, sending the top crashing down unto me.

"Ah!" I jump forward and tumble onto my knees. "Whoa" I say panting heavily catching myself on one knee. I look over at Jakotsu who is clutching his stomach laughing his ass off.

"Timber!" Jakotsu yells. Enjoying every moment of his existence. I make use of the distraction and run towards him kicking him in the stomach and sending him flying backwards into the water "Owwww…" Jakotsu complains rubbing his head. "That wasn't very nice Big brother!"

I was starting to get pissed at this guy. "Is that the best you can do?" I was speaking directly at the person controlling Jakotsu; I knew Jakotsu couldn't hear me so there was no point in pleading any longer. "You control one of the more powerful members of the band of seven and the best you can do is cut down a few trees?"

He pauses for a moment as if thinking for an answer, and then he speaks. "Maybe I plan to slowly finish you off. I might as well enjoy the time I have control of this body." His smile grew "I'm sure your friend would prefer to do it this way anyway."

He's trying to make me lose my cool and panic. But I wasn't gonna let him. I was determined to help Jakotsu, in any way I could. I stepped towards Jakotsu and raised my fists in front of me and tossed a strand of blood-matted hair out of my face. I wasn't going down without a fight. The odds were against me but I only needed to stall him until Renkotsu and the others found a way to save him.

Jakotsu snickers and my eyebrow crease together.

"My my you're a feisty one." Jakotsu tells me. "I like that." Jakotsu launches himself at me and I hold my ground and wait till he's close, then I duck and swerve to the right shocking Jakotsu slightly as he skids to at stop just behind me.

"Don't underestimate me. Right now my comrades are searching for you. They will hunt you down and kill you, your not gonna win this." I sneer at him

Jakotsu rests his sword on his shoulder. "I don't think you'll last past dawn."

I smirk. "Lets test that out."

Jakotsu laughs and lunges towards me again.


So short Dear god...
