I groaned as pain shot threw my body. I opened my eyes and looked down at my stomach. The wound that the army general left had been cleaned and bandaged and my other wounds had been seen to as well. I winced as I sat up and the blanket fell off me. I reached for my weapon as a man came in, he had short spiky hair with the tattoo for rage on his face.

He looked at me and pushed me back down "stay down Imoto-chan you will open your wounds!" he said pulling the blanket over me again.

"Did you just call me Imoto?" I said narrowing my eyes at the man.

He smiled "yes any sister of Jakotsu's is a sister of ours" he said.

I gasped "Jakotsu's alive?" I said and he stood up and went out but then came in a second later. Then in came Jakotsu looking the same as he did when I last seen him. "Ani?" I said with tear welling up in my eyes.

He smiled and came to me "it's me Tia" he said and I rapped my arms around him and cried my eyes out into his chest "it's okay now Tia, am hear now. Am never leaving ever again I promise"


It's been three days and my wounds have finally healed. Thanks to my powers I heal faster then a normal human. The only people I have seen are ani and Suikotsu and am getting bored. I tied my obi of the new kimono my ani got for me. It was a lovely kimono; it was teal blue with flowers on.

"You ready to meet the others" asked Jakotsu as he came in and I ran over to him pecking his lip's. Before you say anything it's what we do as to say hello, goodbye and I love you bro/sis so don't think like that perverts.

"Yep let's go" I said and we walked out into the living area.

Everyone turned to us "hey guy's this is my little sis Tiakotsu, Tia this is Renkotsu" he said pointing to a man with a bald head.

"Hello Tia" he said and I smiled.

"Hi" I replied and looked next to him to a man or is he a machine.

"That's Genkotsu and next to him is Mukotsu" said Jay pointing to a small man "who will stay away from my sister"

"Nothing to worry about I wouldn't do anything to our Imoto" he said and I chuckled.

"Fine, that's Kyoukotsu and Suikotsu you know" Jay replied and then I looked to the last man.

He was smirking at me and I smirked back. "Long time no see Tia" said Bankotsu as he came over and hugged me "god look at how big you've grown how old where you then" I rolled my eyes

"I was seven am now seventeen" I said and he ruffled my hair.

"Still as cute hey don't ya say Jakotsu" he said looking at ani.

He smirked and ruffled my hair too "ye but is she still a little angel" he replied and I scoffed.

"Hey I have a reputation to live up to, you know being the sister of Jakotsu from the band of seven is very dangerous" I said and he gasped hugging me to his chest.

"Who's hurt you I will kill them" he said and I laughed while fixing my hair.

"You're such a drama queen ani" I said rolling my eyes and he pouted.

"And your weird" he said and I glared at him.

"Thanks" I said and gave him a look.

"Hey you still able to control water?" asked Bankotsu and I smirked at him.

"Not just water but fire, earth and air. I also heal faster, see vision's, see aura's and I can see the jewel shard's in all of your neck's and the one in Kyoukotsu's head" I said

"Wow a lot has changed over ten years" said Jakotsu nuzzling my neck.

"Ye but I still have those nightmares" I said and he pulled me closer again.

"Oh Tia am sorry you had to cope on your own" he said and I smiled.

"I had help from Etsuo (joyous life) and my friend's" I said and he looked at me.

"Etsuo's still alive, I hope you two haven't been getting up to stuff?" he said narrowing his eyes at me.

I went bright red "ani of course not he's like a brother to me" I said burring my head in his chest to his my blush. When my blush had gone I pulled away to see everyone smirking at me. "Hey where did you put my sword ani?" I asked looking up at him. He was about a head and four inches taller then me. Everyone's bigger then me except Mukotsu. I was about up to Bankotsu's chin.

"Hear you go" said Suikotsu and I took my sword.

"What is your sword like?" asked Mukotsu and I took the fabric off. It was just like ani's but as his handles white mines black.

"It's just like mine but she can add things on like while she's killing someone she can make fire go around the blade too" said Jay and I nodded and put the fabric back on.

"How's dad" jay asked and I froze. I gulped and then looked at him. He did a small sad smile and nodded. I then hugged him again and let a tear fall off my cheek. "Aniki if it's okay with you I would like to go back to our village" said ani and I looked to Bankotsu who nodded.

"We will all go, get to show the guy's where we grew up isn't that right Tia" he said winking at me and I rolled my eye's.

Jay looked down at me and smiled "where going home"
