Hi everybody! Yeah it's been awhile but with school and everything its kinda tuff to keep up. And on the down side nobody likes my newest story!! X'( but on to other matters! So here is the next chapter of OSH!
Chapter 5
Normal p.o.v.
"Bankotsu…" a voice echoed inside Bankotsu's head as he lay asleep.
"Bankotsu… I am going to show you something that happened not so long ago. You may care about it or you may not. It all depends on what your true feelings about that girl are."
In Bankotsu's mind dream thingy;
"W-who are you?" Bankotsu asked looking at all the white nothingness around him.
The voice echoed around him, coming from all directions. "I am someone who has lived a very long time, you need know nothing more. Now watch as I show you the past of one of your men."
The scene infront of him began to shift and rotate, until it stilled showing a girl sitting by a waterfall.
"Wait is that…?"
"Yes.. that is in fact Mitsuki. But at this time she did not know you, this takes place 5 years ago." The voice answered Bankotsu's unspoken question. "Now sit and watch…"
Mitsuki sat at the waterfall for a time then got up and walked towards a cave at the foot of the waterfall.
She suddenly looked up and a smile lit up her face. She looked at the woods as a figure stepped out.
"Renkotsu!" she squeed running up to the bald man and hugging him.
He laughed gently. "hey you miss me?"
She nodded.
He wrapped his arm around her waist and they walked off towards the cave, just as the sun disappeared over the trees.
There were two beds, and inch apart, inside the cave and Mitsuki went and sat one, and Renkotsu sat on the other.
"Say, Mitsuki?"
"Yes Renkotsu?"
"We've been together for a while now and… we still haven't done it." He said.
A light blush colored her cheeks.
"So, why not do it now, and do it all night," he said bluntly. He leaned over and kissed her.
"Uh, Renkotsu I don't think I'm ready to…"
He kissed her again, leaning her back onto the bed. "Don't worry…" he paused and licked her neck. "I'll show you…"
"Renkotsu…Please, stop it!" she said trying to push him off. "Stop! Renkotsu!" she began to become frantic uselessly trying to shove him off; tears beginning to pour out of her eyes.
Bankotsu watched the visions in horror. He watched helplessly as the one he loved was raped by someone he thought was his friend. Rage filled his entire body as he watched.
A while later Bankotsu watched Renkotsu get up from the bed and get dressed.
He walked to the cave entrance and looked at the broken, unconscious girl with dried tears on her face, lying on the floor. He smirked. "I'm tired of you…" he said walking out of the cave.
Bankotsu sat straight up in his bed huffing and puffing, sweat beads welling up on his forehead.
"And now you know…" the voice echoed in his head, and the faded away.
He looked u at the entrance to the cave, seeing the white sand and the black water reflecting the moon. He looked over to the other side of the cave at a sleeping Mitsuki.
He crawled over quietly, and sat beside her. Te image of her lying broken and crying on the floor flashed through his mind. He shook his head to make it go away. He gently caressed her face.
"I won't let anything like that happen to you ever again…" he whispered, then leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips.
That morning…
Renkotsu shifted nervously as he ate. Ever since he'd woken up, Bankotsu had been glaring at him. And it was reeeeaaaally uncomfortable.
Mitsuki walked out of the cave and stretched. "I slept well hw about you boys?"
They all grumbled something, signaling that they were still tired.
Renkotsu watched her as she sat down and grabbed a bowl and some food that was in the pot over the fire.
Bankotsu stood up and grabbed Renkotsu by the collar, lifting him up and dragged him to the forest. Once they were out of sight from the beach Bankotsu slammed Renkotsu up against a tree.
"Listen Renkotsu, I know what happened between you two, and let me say this; if you ever hurt her like that again… I'll kill you…" Bankotsu almost growled the last part as the let go of Renkotsu's collar, causing him to fall to the ground.
He marched off back towards the beach, leaving a terrified Renkotsu sitting on the forest floor. 'I-I thought he was going to k-kill me…and if I don't leave Mitsuki alone, he will!' he thought to himself, getting up and dusting off.
Later that evening…
Bankotsu and Mitsuki sat in front of a fire; Mitsuki leaning on Bankotsu's shoulder, and his arm wrapped around her waist.
The rest of the Band of Seven (as it had now been given a name) was out terrorizing some village. Leaving Bankotsu some along time with Mitsuki.
"Mitsuki… I know what Renkotsu did to you." He said.
Her eyes went wide as she looked up at him. "H-how…?"
"You may not believe me, but some guy came to me in a dream and showed me images from 5 years ago…"
"Nayamasu…" she whispered.
"What?"
"Nothing! But Bankotsu I-"
He cut her off by putting a finger on her lips. "Shh... I know, you didn't want to. But I just want to let you know I won't ever let anything like that happen to you again."
She dug her face into his shirt to hide the tears that were falling down her face. Then she remembered something.
She looked up at him. "Bankotsu I want to show you something."
She grabbed his hand and pulled him along through the trees. They came out into a small clearing with a bunch of tall grass.
"What about it?" he asked confused.
"Just wait." She said.
A few minutes later the full moo rose over the meadow, and as the moonlight flooded the field one by one silvery-white flowers began to blossom.
"Wow…" he said.
Mitsuki smiled and led him out onto the small meadow, and sat down by his feet.
"Well, are you going to sit?"
"Uh- yeah," he said sitting down.
They sat for a while and watched the flowers bloom until the whole meadow was filled with the white flowers.
"Mitsuki?" Bankotsu said half timidly.
"Hmm?"
"Since I've known you has Renkotsu ever tried to…?"
She shook her head. "No, and even if he tried to I wouldn't let him… because I love you not him."
"M-Mitsuki…"
"And that's why… I'm willing to do what I didn't want to do with Renkotsu, with you." She said leaning over and kissing him.
They kissed passionately, and Bankotsu leaned her down onto the ground.
He pulled away. "Mitsuki… are you sure you want to do this..?"
"Yes… If its with you, then I think I'm ready and willing…" she said gently pulling him back to their kiss.
