'Oh, How cute Inuyasha had been! I couldn't have helped drowning in him. I had even gotten him to call me 'Brother'!' My mind raced with it's usual thoughts. Little did Bankotsu know, I had the most idea of all of us, about Inuyasha and his schemes. I knew exactly what he was planing, or so I thought. The part about using us to get to Naraku, only myself and Bankotsu had seemed to pick up. The others were completely oblivious to this, and I was beginning to see why. Inuyasha was a good actor, but not better than myself. I knew these tricks better than one could teach them. Acting was another part I played amongst our brothers, And I did a fine job at it. Commonly I played the damsel in distress, sometimes I would fake Injuries to get us into a place we wanted to raid. I made a fine girl if you covered up my muscles.

We walked for quite a ways. Stopping in the villages for about a half-hour at a time, to see if there were any needs of a mercenary. Each time we asked for job offers, they turned us down, pretty soon it became a reoccurring event, and each time they looked at Inuyasha first.

"Alright. This is getting ridiculous!" Bankotsu said as we walked to the village. "How many more will turn us down.". Renkotsu looked him right in the eyes,

"It's because of Akikotsu." He said. Bankotsu glared at Renkotsu. Akikotsu sighed,

"No, Bankotsu," Akikotsu said, looking away, "It's fine really, He's right, It's because I'm a demon.". Inuyasha looked rather calm.

"Akikotsu…" Bankotsu said looking concerned.

"But, you'd think they'd want the advantage of having a demon on their side." Suikotsu said, confused.

"How about I just stay here with Ginkotsu and Kyokotsu while you guys go ask for jobs." He said. He smiled as he said it, but it didn't seem like he was happy. Bankotsu raised an eyebrow.

"Are you seriously ok with that? I don't want you to feel left out, I mean you're so new and all." He said. Inuyasha smiled,

"Don't worry 'bout me, It's really ok, Besides I'm sure those two would like some company while they wait." He said giving a hopeful glance to Kyoukotsu. Kyokotsu nodded, It was understandable, what with Ginkotsu's current state. I couldn't help but be disappointed in Inuyasha. Letting something get to him so easily, It was unlike him! However, It now started to become even more apparent, his plan. We walked the rest of the way, and left Akikotsu and the other two behind.

"You know that you didn't have to do that right?" Kyokotsu said. I dropped my act,

"I didn't do it for you, I'm not stupid. I'm pretty sure you could care less about company." I said, watching the others as they made their way to the village. They were already a distance away. Kyokotsu said nothing,and still Ginkotsu was silent. "Even so, I believe this has been the first time you've spoken to me directly." I said. He looked at me, "After all, you were the only one who I never really had a chance to meet, So I'd like to get to know you." I said, now watching my new brothers disappear beyond my sight. Still both were silent. "Is it true you get demons Kyokotsu?" I asked, "I was quite surprised to hear this, It would definitely explain your size." Kyokotsu ignored me. 'He might be the first to go' I though, looking off into the distance.

CHAPTER NOTES

This chapter is incredibly short and I honestly can't remember why. Though it is, and it's been posted for a long time now on another site, so I don't see the point in changing it.

Instead, I would like to use this extra room to address a few things since this site has no room for notes when posting.

This book is available on another site, . Chapter updates are much more frequent and as of posting chapter 10 on this site, they are up to date with chapter 20 which is my most recent chapter as of now. The reason for this is because I stall with posting chapters on here, or forget about it entirely because I simply prefer that site over this one. It is easier to post, edit and view mine and others' work. Even though I'm sure I'll get in trouble for mentioning other sites and saying that there better, I advise you to go to Archiveofourown and keep up with the story there. It is more difficult to make an account but that is because the website is not finished yet, but like I said, it's still better. Besides that, people on Archiveofourown don't really comment and you guys do, I'm happy to get feedback, but I'd rather it be from there so It would be nice to have you guys on that awesome place too. I will still keep posting here, but updates will all over the place.

The second thing I want to address is that, personally, I dislike this series. I find some of these later chapters to be poorly written and just bad in general. And don't get me wrong, self criticism is great and all, but I have thought about not continuing this. The reason my writing is not as good as others' is because I am in high school. I started this book about half way through last school year and now it is almost the end of this school year. In that time my writing has improved so much that the older chapters make me cringe, but there's too many now, I can't simply rewrite 20 chapters when I'm sure next year, I'll have the same problem. I don't know why some people discontinue their works, but I feel like I have a reason. However, I'm going to keep writing this because people on here seem to think that even chapter one was great, even though I dislike the older chapters, mostly chapter 2. Because even one person wants me to continue, I will. I just want to you guys to know that.

That's all I have to say right now. Peace out guys!
