So yeah here's the next chapter. It longer than the first one by a lot. Hope you Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters besides Amarante and Daiki.


"Well look at what the cat dragged in. I thought you said you got everyone Jakotsu." The man with the giant sword says to the man with the purple markings under his eyes.

"I did, and of course out of all the people we did kill the one that gets away is a woman! Just my luck." The one called Jakotsu pouts after looking at her for just a second. A light-bulb seems to go off in Jakotsu's head, "Hey can I kill the wench?! PLEASE!!!!! I didn't get to have my fair share of hits because of the handsome guy that I saw on the way over." He smiles at the thought.

After hearing this Amarante stumbles backwards and scurries as fast as she can back on her feet. The man with the bandanna looks over at her and walks filling the space between them, "Where do you think your going?"

She starts to quickly walk backwards and steps on something. Daring to look down she sees the wide eyed motionless body of Daiki. Her breaking point snaps right there as she lets out a blood churning scream bringing her hand over her mouth.

"SHUT HER UP!!!!!!!" The man with the giant sword says with his hands over his ears.

A mix feeling of rage and sadness overwhelms her as her throat becomes sore and her head stops spinning. He didn't do anything wrong. No one in the village did anything wrong to deserve this. Her hands become fists and her teeth are clenched as the thought sinks in.

Amarante turns on her heels and runs straight for the man that was just yelling. She spins and kicks aiming for his head, but in a split second he instinctively grabs her ankle just before her foot made contact, and spins her onto her back. A crack in her ankle is followed by a burning knife stabbing pain.

She curls into a ball and holds her ankle as tears swell up her eyes. She holds back the screams welling up in her raw throat biting her lower lip instead.

"Brother Bankotsu did she hurt you?!" The man with the metal claws says with a hint of worry in his voice.

"Not even close to as much as I just hurt her." He says kneeling on his left knee getting his face over hers. Amarante bites down on her lip even harder, closes her eyes, and aims her foot by using his surrounding body heat as a guide. She puts as much force as her other foot can handle aiming right in between the legs. He blocks yet again with his right leg. Her eyes open to meet the devious smirk of the one man called Bankotsu.

"Aren't you the fighter? That was a dirty move you just made and could have hurt someone." He mocked.

She grew angrier but the pain in her ankle kept her anger in check as she winced when he "accidentally" hit it as he got up.

"The bitch! How dare she do that to you big brother." The largest of the seven men said eying her with intensity.

"Now can I kill her big brother?" Jakotsu whined.

He looked at her as if observing what she would do next. In the background a baby wailed and one of the men silenced it without thinking twice.

Her only choices were to either fight and have a bigger chance of dying than surviving or run and yet again have a higher chance of dying. Pretty shitty choices she had laid in front of her.

She slightly turned to her good side as a wave of heat shoots up her neck and everything goes numb. Her vision goes and her head empties leaving nothing behind.

When she finally awakes its cold, damp, and smells of mold and stone. Her eyes adjust to the darkness engulfing her. She can barely crawl with how her ankle is. Feeling around, she hits a rusty metal bar. A prison cell?

A rush of cold air bolts across her ear and she retracts her body in a sudden motion sending another sharp pain up through her leg.

Laughs erupt. " Looks like she's lost all of that fire in her." One says.

"Gersh."

"Don't frighten her too much or she might knee you in the balls."The voice sounded familiar to the largest of the men she remembered.

A bright objected is suddenly in her face. She winces at the bright light. A torch lights up the area to reveal all 7 men watching her like she was a animal on display.

"Alright, thats enough. In the morning we head up the mountain, got that?" Bankotsu questioned.

There was a chorus of yeses and six of the seven men left. Bankotsu stayed behind.

"From now on you're our prisoner, the Band of Seven's prisoner. Just because I sparred your life doesn't mean that I'll do it again, got that?" His gaze was piercing.

Amarante just stared at the ground not answering his question.

Bankotsu became frustrated and he reached out grabbing her by the collar of her clothing and pulled her to the metal bars of the cell, face to face with him. "I said, you got that?" His eyes were burning and his breath smelled. She nodded to get away from him as quickly as possible.

"Good. Then we should get along perfectly fine then." He smirked and casually walked away leaving her shivering, dirty, and alone as the mice crawled in and out of the cell.

Hope that gave a little more insight than the last chapter. I can kind of imagine what Aramante looks like but at the same time I can't. If you guys have any suggestion of what you see her looking like please do tell. Thanks for reading!

I don't know.....should I add a lemon or not.... I don't knowz. I know if I do I'll be blushing and might die from loss of blood from a constant nosebleed if I do one. GAWD this is so hard to decide!
