Bankotsu shook his head and sighed. He'd done EVERYTHING, he'd buried his fallen comrades, drank till he couldn't tell Suikotsu from Jakotsu, and even had battles with Jakotsu and he STILL couldn't get that woman clad in pink armor out of his head. Her curves haunted his dreams till he had an erection, her face appeared at every minute of every passing day, her melancholy voice teased him until he had to break something to shut her the hell up.

He sighed for what felt like the thousandth time today and repeated her words. 'If I ever see you causing harm anywhere else, I will not hesitate to kill you.' "Damn," he muttered under his breath. He wasn't sure whether to track her down and quench his thirst to make her moan his name or believe that she would keep true to her word and avoid her. Not that he was afraid of such a lithe, little woman, but it'd be a shame to put his Banryu through her perfectly shaped chest.

His ponderings were interrupted by Jakotsu screaming, "Aniki-chan, we're out of saki!" 'Finally,' Bankotsu thought to himself. 'Maybe this'll get my mind off of her.'

"Kay," he called back, "There's a village just north of here. Get Suikotsu and some money and we'll go."

About five minutes later, the two came out looking ready, and Jakotsu looked rather excited. "Can we massacre the village, Aniki-chan?" he asked, bouncing up and down.

Normally, Bankotsu would have shrugged and said, 'sure,' but the woman popped up into his mind once more. 'Damn, I really don't wanna have to kill that girl,' he thought to himself. "No, not today," Bankotsu replied. Jakotsu whined but Suikotsu looked relieved. Bankotsu chuckled to himself, 'how can a doctor and a mercenary be so fucking queasy about bloodshed?'

They soon arrived at the village and peered around. It looked normal, with a few exceptions. Children ran about with weapons while their mothers looked at their children with worried eyes. The men were clad in skin tight suits……very similar to that woman's suit, besides the color.

"Hey, aniki-chan," Jakotsu whispered in Bankotsu's ear, "Do you think that girl resides from this village?" Bankotsu shrugged, "Maybe, but we came to find saki and nothing more." And so the search for alcohol began.

After ten minutes of asking random villagers and receiving odd stares, the three asked a very elderly woman. She looked upon the mercenary's boldly before asking, "Who are you and where do you come from." The three shrugged their shoulders, "Look, lady, we just came to buy some saki not to be interrogated." Bankotsu replied. She stared at them closely, giving them similar looks the woman did. Reliezation filled her wise eyes and she gasped, "You are mercenaries from the band of seven." "Impressive." Bankotsu replied with a smirk.

"How are you alive? I heard news that you were captured by bandits and beheaded." She cried. "Only some of us were. A woman dressed similar to the men around here, stopped the bandit and murdered him. I think she mentioned something about how he killed her brother. But then she let us go." Bankotsu stated with a bored expression on his face.

The woman's eyes widened in reliezation and then narrowed in anger. "Sango!!!" she screamed.

Her yelling was greeted by laughter. A young boy, about twelve, came running out toward her before stopping and bowing respectfully to her. "Souta!" the woman cried in relief. "Have you seen Sango? I need to speak with her." The boy grinned ear to ear, "Ya, and I also discovered her one weakness." He claimed, holding something up in his tiny hand.

A scream cut through the air, "Souta!!!!!!" The same woman that the mercenaries had seen at the mansion appeared, except her long hair that was normally in a high ponytail covered her face. "Give me back my ribbon, Souta, or I'll murder you."

The boy known as Souta smirked. "Gotta catch me first." With that he took off running. Sango screamed and chased after him, but her hair covered her face and she stumbled, landing on her face. Souta laughed. "Ooh, I bet you really wish you had this now, huh?" he asked, holding the ribbon up in his hand. Sango growled and pulled herself up. She soon was chasing Souta around again.

The elderly woman growled in frustration and grabbed Sango's long hair. Sango stumbled back and gasped as her back hit the ground. She lay helplessly at the mercenary's and elderly woman's feet, her hair pooled about her, sloppily, and a blush across her face.

"Souta, give Sango her hair ribbon back," the woman commanded. Souta nodded and quickly handed the girl on the floor her hair ribbon before running away.

Sango pulled herself up once more and bowed to the woman in front of her. "I'm sorry, Grandmother." She whispered. The elderly woman's eyes softened and she shook her head. "Look at yourself, Sango. This is not marriage material." Sango blushed. "And," the woman continued, "saving three of the deadliest mercenaries is definitely NOT a turn on."

Sango glanced up and found herself staring into Bankotsu's eyes. "Oh, I don't know. I think it's a turn on for the mercenaries' part." Bankotsu stated with his famous smirk on. "YOU!" Sango screamed at him and threw a fist toward his face. Bankotsu barely had time to duck. "Hey! What was that for?" he cried as another fist came. "I warned you I'd kill you if I ever saw you again!" Sango yelled. "No," Bankotsu retorted, blocking her fist with his hand, "I believe you said if you caught me causing harm. I'm just here to by saki. It was Granny, over there, who got us in this situation in the first place!"

"Sango growled and brought her knee up, in between his legs. Bankotsu's eyes got wide and he fell to the floor with his hands over his dick. Jakotsu laughed and Suikotsu winced as if he felt the same pain Bankotsu did. "That is so fucking low." Bankotsu growled at Sango. She shrugged. "You should know a lot about low, considering all the innocent lives you've taken." Sango retorted, raising her knee up again, this time aiming for his face.

"Cut it out, both of you." The woman yelled, pulling Sango back before she could strike. "There would be no use for this if you hadn't let him live in the first place! Explain." She growled.

So, Sango told the story and how it was 'noble' to let them live after their leader saved her. When she finished, her grandmother shook her head and sighed. "Noble, stupid Sango." She muttered, causing Sango to blush. "Well, we can't let them leave, they could massacre a village!" Sango's grandmother cried. "I know. Sango, as punishment for putting people's lives in danger, you will stay with these men until they get at least a hundred feet from my village. Then, at least you can watch them." The elderly woman said with sad eyes.

"What?!" Sango screamed. "Go get your Hirakotsu, the sooner they're away from my village, the better." Sango's grandmother whispered not looking her in the face.

Sango blinked away tears of anger before dragging Bankotsu, who was still on his knees to his feet. As soon as he was up, she kneed him with all the strength she could muster before letting him go. He fell to the ground with a scream and curled up in a ball.

Sango stormed off, her grandmother went a different way while shaking her head, Jakotsu fell on the floor laughing, and Suikotsu covered his mouth and moaned "Ow."

Sango came back soon with the giant boomerang on her back. "Let's go, mercenaries." She called out from behind her as she stormed out of the village. Jakotsu managed to pull himself together to follow the fuming Sango, but Bankotsu was writhing in pain on the floor still.

Suikotsu sighed and picked Bankotsu up before following the two figures in front of him. 'With that blow to Bankotsu's manhood, he will definitely go looking for revenge on Sango.' Suikotsu thought dreadfully. 'This is gonna be a long night.'
