Chapter Eleven:

The next day:

Naien woke up to a pair of strong arms around her. She bolted upright into a sitting position with her heart pounding.

Bankotsu jumped awake and started scanning the room."Who, what?" Spotting Naien's pale face and wide eyes, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Naien took deep breaths trying to calm her racing pulse. "Sorry, you just… startled me was all. I've never woken up to a man holding me before." She lowered her eyes and ducked her head.

Bankotsu spoke softly. "It's okay. Sorry that I startled you." He moved off the bed and donned his haori.

Naien smiled. "It's okay," She slowly made her way over to the door and frowned at the large weapon blocking the door.

Bankotsu smiled sheepishly. "I wanted to ensure that we'd be undisturbed." He easily lifted the weapon and placed it gently by the wall.

Naien whispered her thanks and exited their room.

Bankotsu followed her into the kitchen. He sat down while Naien served him a bowl of fruit, nuts, and berries, along with some freshly made tea.

She sat beside him and they ate together in silence. Naien was about to drink her second cup of tea when Bankotsu took her by the hand and led her outside.

XOXOXO:

Once Bankotsu and Naien completed her laps, pushups, and sit ups; Bankotsu rubbed his hands together and grinned. "Today, we start your hand to hand training, so be ready."

Bankotsu thrust her away from him. "Now, let me see what you can do," He threw a punch towards Naien, who stepping back just in the nick of time barely managed to block it.

Bankotsu nodded and continued throwing punches, forcing her to move backwards in order to block them. 'Not bad. Let's see how she handles this.' He smirked and kicked out sweeping her legs out from under her.

She landed harshly on her back and grimaced. Her eyes widened as his foot hovered above her. She quickly rolled out of the way of his stomp and back to her feet. She watched a wicked smirk cross his lips before he sent his fist towards her face. She ducked the punch and spun away. 'Shit! He's not holding back.'

Bankotsu continued advancing on her with his fists flying full force.

Naien took a deep breath and let her instincts take over. She dodged his kick and blocked his punch.

He swept her down again.

She grit her teeth and twisted onto her back. She bucked her feet and slamming them directly into his stomach with full force.

Bankotsu's eyes widened and he exhaled absorbing the pain as he was forced to stumble back a few steps. 'Where the hell did she learn that from?'

Naien quickly rolled away and flipped back onto her feet, smirking at his shocked face.

Bankotsu huffed trying to catch his breath as he glared at the lean woman in front of him. 'What the hell? She doesn't look like she could move like that...' He wiped his mouth and grinned. 'Heh, it's time to step it up a notch.' He attacked her with a barrage of punches.

Naien fought back with everything in her. 'I have to show him that I am not a weak woman.' Deflecting each of his punches she threw some of her own, forcing Bankotsu to back pedal.

He chuckled in his mind. 'Not bad at all.' Spotting an opening he drove his fist into her stomach.

Naien fell to her knees clutching her stomach. 'That's going to bruise.' She panted and glared at him. "That was a little harsh."

Bankotsu scoffed. "A seasoned opponent won't go easy on you." His eyes narrowed. "Quit whining and get back on your feet so that we can start again!"

Knowing he'd take advantage if she didn't move Naien forced herself to her feet, trying her best to ignore the pain. She flew at him again.

Bankotsu dodges her attacks. 'She's a tough bitch.' He chuckled. 'It's time to put this bitch back in her place.' He threw his next round of punches.

She moved back again blocking his punches, looking for an opening. Finding what she needed she spun to the side, hitting him with a round house kick to his ribs full force.

Stumbling sideways from the impact Bankotsu growled and his hand moved to hold his ribs. 'Where the fuck is all this power coming from?' His nostrils flared and frustration entered his eyes. 'I've had enough of this shit, time to get dirty.'

Putting his full force behind him he ran forward slamming his shoulders into her stomach, plowing her roughly into the ground. Naien's head snapped back. She cried out in pain feeling her back hit the ground. Quickly she moved her hands to cushion her head so as not to concur a concussion.

Taking advantage of her mistake Bankotsu quickly moved his hands to press against her elbows effectively pinning her arms while his body straddled her stomach.

'Aw shit, now what?' Noticing that he was straddling her stomach, she smiled at him. She pushed up with her legs, causing him to fly up and over her head, flipping her own body over so that she was now on top and locked her feet behind his knees pressing down on his arms.

He blinked. 'She's not supposed to do that to me, I'm her superior!' Bankotsu grunted and used his massive upper body strength forcing them onto their sides .He smirked when he felt her struggling to keep it from happening.

'Your mine now,' He grinned evilly. "Just submit and this will all be over," he growled, enjoying the look of pure shock in her eyes. Entrapping her in his massive arms Bankotsu squeezed. "Submit Naien."

"Never," She inhaled sharply as his arms tightened around her painfully. In defiance and retaliation she squeezed her legs around the soft fleshy part of his abdomen as hard as she could manage, digging her knees into his sides making it harder for him to breathe as well.

She leaned forward as much as she could against his arms with her own arms crushed between his, digging her elbows into his ribs. She continued squeezing him with her legs.

Bankotsu used his legs to roll them over, so that she was now flat on her back with him on top of her. He leered down at her. His unmistakable arousal pressed into her.

Naien froze and her pulse began pounding frantically. Her face paled and she looked like she was about to have a panic attack.

'Shit.' Bankotsu slowly loosened his arms and spoke in a soothing voice. "It's okay Naien; no one is going hurt you." He stared deeply into her 'deer caught in the headlights' looking brown eyes.

Hearing her heart thundering inside her chest he released his hold and gently cupped her face. "Breath Naien, just breath," He slowly stroked her cheek.

Naien began to slowly calm down as she heard the soothing tone of his voice. Slowly his words registered and she stared back into his deep pools of cool water.

Bankotsu's face softened a bit. "Look into my eyes. That's it, take slow, deep breaths."

After a minute her pulse returned to normal and she ducked her head whispering softly, "I'm sorry I just - "

He grasped her chin raising her gaze to his. "I know and it's okay." he stood up and offered his hand to her. "Come on let's call this it for today."

Able to breathe easier now that he wasn't quite so close, Naien gave him her shaky hand.

He lifted her to her feet.

"Thanks you," She pulled her hand free of his.

Bankotsu sighed and led the way back into the castle. 'Damn, I'll have to find a way to get her over freaking out like that.' He quickly shifted his wayward arousal into a less constricting position. 'The fact was that a good battle always works me up - especially when it is with a woman isn't going to make that particular step any easier.'

Still a little ashamed of how she'd reacted Naien kept her head bowed and silently went into the kitchen to prepare some the tea.

Bankotsu made sure to leave a few feet of space between them so as not to make her uncomfortable and contended himself with just watching the naturally seductive way she moved.

Renkotsu walked in.

Bankotsu addressed him. "Renkotsu, I want you to go hunting for dinner. Make sure you bring back plenty of meat." Bankotsu waved a hand dismissing him.

Renkotsu nodded and left to carry out his orders.

After Bankotsu and Naien drank their tea, he took her out to the weapons shed. He grabbed a bow, three quivers of arrows, a couple sets of katanas, and passed them to her while he locked the shed back up.

He took the weapons pile back and led her to their room where he deposited all the weapons in a corner. "These will be for the next couple days of training."

'Her hand to hand is more than adequate, so after her stamina training tomorrow we will move on to the weapons.' He blinked a few times. 'I don't want Renkotsu knowing which weapons I'm training her to use.' He locked their room and took her by the arm. "Let's get back to the kitchen." She nodded and he led her away.

Jakotsu brought in all the dirty laundry and bedding and dropped them at her feet. He stared at her with a hand on his hip. "Well wench, what are you waiting for?"

Naien's eyes narrowed at him. "Just what am I supposed to do with it?"

Jakotsu sneered derisively, "You're a woman aren't you?" His eyes filled with triumph as he heard her growl.

"Come on Naien, you'd better get started." Bankotsu carried the pile of dirty laundry to the cold spring outside, where she could clean them.

Naien rolled her eyes and grit her teeth. She set about scrubbing the laundry on her hands and knees.

Bankotsu stood close by watching her to make sure she completed her task.

Naien finished the last piece and hung it on the line to dry. She wiped the sweat from her brow. Turning to face her captor, she asked, "Anything else or am I done for the day?" her fingernails dug into the heel of her palm. 'Damn Jakotsu he's trying to provoke a fight.'

Bankotsu grinned. "You're done. Now let's go inside and I'll make you some fresh tea to replace the stuff you didn't get to finish," as he led her into the kitchen.

XOXOXO:

In the kitchenBankotsu set about making some fresh tea. He turned to her. "Don't take it personally Naien."

Her jaw clenched and she snorted in an unladylike manner, before turning to glare at the wall.

Bankotsu chuckled to himself and handed her a cup of the steamy liquid.

Naien silently accepted the tea and sipped it. She started to walk away and Bankotsu's muscular arm snagged her waist, pulling her back to him.

Naien exhaled slowly. "What are you doing now?" She gasped as his lips feathered along her neck.

Bankotsu smirked burying his nose into her hair. "Don't let him get to you Naien, he's just - "

She huffed and firmly removed his arm from her waist and. "I know what he's doing..." She spun so that she faced him. "I'm not going to just let him treat me like that either." She walked into the other room and sat down sipping her tea.

Bankotsu chuckled as he watched the seductive sway of her hips as she walked away. 'She is such a tigress when she's pissed. I wonder if that would be the case in bed too?' He smirked. 'I'll have to test that theory one of these days.' He followed after her and sat beside her.

Naien turned her attention to her cooling tea and pretended not to notice his presence..

Jakotsu walked in wearing a look of challenge in his eyes as he stared down his nose at Naien. He smirked and looked at his brother with a sweet smile. "When would you like dinner, big brother?"

Bankotsu was about to answer, but Naien spoke up first.

"Hey Jakotsu, do you think it would be possible to cook something other than stew tonight? I'm getting burnt out on it." She flipped her hair over her shoulder and her eyes challenged him.

Glowering and balling his fists Jakotsu snapped, "Why you ungrateful little - "

"Jaky, as much as I enjoy your stew; we've had stew every night since we've been here. I'd really appreciate something different tonight." Bankotsu stared into his eyes calmly.

Jakotsu's lips formed a pout. "Fine," He stomped into the kitchen and began slamming things around as he started to prepare a different meal.

Trying to keep a straight face and not burst out laughing, Bankotsu looked over at Naien. "Play nice Naien."

Naien shrugged and sent him an innocent look. "I don't know what you're talking about." She went back to sipping her tea, inwardly smirking in triumph.

Bankotsu shook his head hiding a grin. 'You're not fooling me you little minx. But I have to admit Jaky did have it coming after today's stunt with the laundry.'

Renkotsu returned and dropped the boar off in the kitchen. Not wanting to incur Jakotsu's wrath he quietly left.

Jakotsu huffed as he stuffed the cut up deer meat back into the cold freezer room. 'Little whore! She did that on purpose. Now big brother wants something new.'

He spotted the boar and grinned. 'I'll show that little slut not to play games with me! She wants something different; I'll give them something different.' He picked up the boar 'I'm going to make a meal that will have that little bitch bowing at my cooking prowess.' Mind made up he fluttered about the kitchen preparing the meal.

Bankotsu sat there drinking his tea. 'I wonder what those two will try on each other next?' He chuckled. 'It will be interesting to see what those two manage to come up with.'

He sat back and placed the cup next to his lips. 'Knowing Jaky, he's in there making a damned good meal trying to show her how to play the game.' Bankotsu smiled behind his cup. 'Oh well at least I'll get a fresh meal out of it.' He smirked and sipped his tea. 'Let the games begin."

Three hours later Jakotsu wheeled out a platter of roasted boar, complete with an apple stuffed in its mouth and steamed vegetables surrounding the meat.

Bankotsu's eyes lit up. 'Wow, Jaky's really pulling out the big guns.' His mouth watered at the savory aromas coming from the platter.

Naien's eyes widened and she stood up. "Excuse me while I go make some fresh tea."

'Take that bitch.' Jakotsu grinned and served up the food, staring with his brother and working his way around. He left Naien to be served last.

Just before Jakotsu sat down to eat the fruits of his labor, Naien smiled and served the tea.

Sitting in her appointed spot she tasted her food and smiled, "Impressive Jakotsu. Thanks for this delicious meal."

Jakotsu smirked. 'That's right compliment my awesome food. Ha! Take that wench!' He picked up his plate. "What, you mean this? It's nothing compared to the other dishes I can make." He shrugged and bit into his boar savoring the spicy meat.

Bankotsu watched the combatants waging a silent war. 'I wonder what she'll do this time?' Bankotsu wet his lips and closed his eyes sighing. 'I know damned well that little vixen isn't anywhere near giving up yet.'

Bankotsu ate his meal allowing each tantalizing flavor to roll along his tongue. He placed his empty plate aside and pat his stomach. "Thanks Jaky that really hit the spot."

Jakotsu's triumphant smile shone brightly.

Naien placed her empty plate aside and stood up. "If you men will excuse me a few moments, I've made something to go with your delicious meal tonight Jakotsu." She walked into the kitchen. A few minutes later brought out their surprise.

Jakotsu's jaw dropped and his eyes grew wide as saucers as she rolled the cart out. 'No way! That's big brother's favorite desert and even I can't make it right. Plus she made a second desert?'

Bankotsu sat there blinking. 'When did she find time to make that?' His eyes lit up as he stared at the strawberry shortcake being wheeled over. His mouth began to water just thinking about sinking his teeth into it. His eyes widened as he noticed the pineapple upside down cake sitting on the other side.

Naien smiled. "I figured it was about time that we started having deserts after dinner now too. So I made two of my specialties. I hope you all like them." She served up a slice of each desert to everyone.

Taking her own she sat in her spot and savored her favorite desert of all time, relishing the whipped cream and strawberries. 'I hope the whipped cream came out right. It's been almost a year since I've made it by scratch.' Once she found the milk and cream on top of it, she'd squealed in excitement and started the cream. That was two nights ago.

Jakotsu's eyes widened after just the first bite. Not only had her strawberries come out right, but so had the cream. He clenched his teeth. 'Damn her,' he thought enviously.

"I started these a few days ago. I'll admit that I was worried the cream wouldn't come out right, but it did." Naien smiled and savored her cake.

Bankotsu was working on his second piece. His hand stopped mid bite and his eyes locked with hers. "How did you know I love strawberry shortcake?"

Naien blushed. "Actually I wasn't sure any of you would like it, but it's one of my two favorite deserts. I'd made the pineapple upside down cake thinking it'd more suit you guys' tastes."

Bankotsu stated firmly. "Strawberry shortcakes is my absolute favorite. But it doesn't get made often."

Jakotsu scoffed. "So have miss goody-goody make it then," He glared at her. 'How dare she be able to make the one desert I can never make turn out right?'

Naien smiled at him sweetly. "Jakotsu, I can show you how to make it if you like. The cream is the hardest part; the rest really isn't all that hard."

Jakotsu huffed and sat there pouting.

Naien shrugged and served herself a second piece, while watching Bankotsu take a third.

'Jaky tries hard to make it on my birthday, but it never comes out right. Either the cream is way too rich or the strawberries are dry or mushy.' Bankotsu shamelessly allowed himself to eat his fill; after all it was his favoritedesert.

Once the food was polished off by Bankotsu and Renkotsu, who'd attacked the pineapple cake like his leader had the strawberry one, Naien collected the dishes and wheeled them into the kitchen. After finishing the dishes she yawned as she walked back to join the others.

Bankotsu was resting with his back against the wall and stretched out like a cat, grinning from ear to ear.

Jakotsu spotted her and pinned her with a cool gaze. "If you really don't mind, I'd like to accept your offer."

"Anytime Jakotsu," Naien smiled.

Jakotsu's dull grey eyes shined with excitement. 'I'm going to learn how to make this right if it's the last thing I do.'

Bankotsu moved slowly to his feet. "Okay guys, time for bed."

Jakotsu and Renkotsu nodded and left to go to their rooms.

Bankotsu took Naien by the arm leading her to their room.

Inside their room he pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. "Thank you t."He placed Banryu across the door and led her to their bathing spring. They quickly bathed freeing themselves of the day's grime and sweat, and then dressed in fresh clothes. They walked back into their room.

Naien yawned and crawled into bed.

XOXOXO:

Warning: Limey content till the next warning!

Bankotsu curled up behind her and kissed her neck. "Thank you for the delicious desert."

"You're welcome, Naien said with a yawn. She smiled and closed her eyes about to try and sleep. She felt her pants being untied. Naien's heart began racing inside her chest and her eyes shot wide. She covered his hands.

Bankotsu kissed her neck leaned up and kissed her neck. "It's okay Naien, I just want to see and touch you. I won't do anything you don't want me to."

After a minute she bit her lip and dropped her hands, allowing him to proceed.

He slipped off her hakamas and pushed her further up on the bed. Bending his head he gently kissed the scars on her legs and up to her hips. He lifted each leg and began to massage away the tension.

After a while her fear melted away and was replaced by some strange feelings. Her body relaxed and she closed her eyes enjoying how his hands worked away her soreness.

He kissed his way from her ankle to her hip, lightly trailing his tongue over each scar. He repeated the process with the other leg and then focused on kissing her thighs kissing his way up slowly. He gently brushed a kiss over her womanhood.

Her eyes opened and she gasped. He kissed it again and her hips writhed. 'Why did he do that?'

Bankotsu smirked and slowly kissed her hair line. His tongue ran along her slit and then he took her nether lips into his mouth, caressing them with his tongue.

Naien gasped because of the powerful sensations rocketing through her body.

Bankotsu pushed his tongue inside eager to taste her. Her head fell back and she sighed in pleasure. 'Kami, that feels good.' She felt his wet appendage slip out to slide along her slit and flick her clit. Her hips shot up and she gasped.

Bankotsu placed one arm over hips to hold her in place and continued moving his tongue inside her. He rolled his tongue around inside of her, and then moved it from side to side. He slowly stroked each wall individually. At first he kept his pace slow, deliberately giving her the maximum amount of pleasure while drawing out her sensual torture.

Naien felt liquid heat invade her body, starting as a tight knot low in her belly and spiraling out to flow through her veins. Her nipples puckered into tight peaks aching to be touched as her passion grew. Her hands fisted into the silk sheets.

Bankotsu listened to her soft gasps fill the air of the room around them. He listened to them change into kitten like mewls as he continued driving her pleasure higher. He rolled his tongue inside her relishing in her sweet honeyed taste.

Her inner muscles clenched around his tongue. He dove inside her again craving the sweet cream she would soon be giving him.

She softly cried out his name as the tsunami burst inside her sending her over the edge. He drank up her cream like a kitten lapping up warm milk, not wasting a single drop. Once he had licked her clean he pulled back and kissed her making the woman taste herself.

Pulling back he licked his lips and placed a kiss on her forehead before lying on his side next to her.

XOXOXO:

Warning: End Limey content!

Naien reached over to return the favor, but he stopped her hands just shy of his raging hard on. He stared into her eyes and spoke firmly. "Tonight was for you Naien, now go to sleep."

Her eyes widened and she nodded. She yawned curling into his chest with a smile on her face.

He held her until his arousal wasn't so painful and then followed her to sleep soon after.

A/N: That's chapter eleven. Hope you all enjoy my story :D
