You know what I'm gonna make this chapter all spiffy. My other story has these pretty little things that just make it so worth reading. \^^/ (little dude waving his arms in the air)

Rukia's POV everyone else is asleep

You would think that me being a young woman, having three men follow me would be wondrous. Well then you would be thinking wrong. I love Bankotsu, but his brothers are a different story. Jakotsu is a great person to talk to being almost a woman himself, but when it comes to fighting and MEN…..WELL I couldn't tell you. It's just crazy. I can only describe it in a few simple words. Blood, death, glory, and of course….. Human heads…..

Renkotsu he is a fine gentleman, very smart. He has a wonderful memory and has brought us pretty far to find the next brother. BUT of course he has that flaw. That flaw that all the band of seven I seen so far have….. Being a smart ass. I can't tell you how much shit I get from him. And worse of all it's the same shit as Bankotsu….. Almost. 'Why are your fighting skills so strange?' 'That's really not the proper way to fight.' 'You should have killed the ass hole.' But of course with Bankotsu there's always one more little quote.

"Your dress is too short." (sweat drop) laugh hack choke. WHAT! I THOUGHT HE LIKED IT THAT SHORT! WHAT THE FUCK! But besides them being a tad annoying and irritating I like them. Lately Bankotsu and I have been doing the nasty a lot more and I am concerned. In this world they don't have protection and I don't have the pill. (te he I know they are modern day stuff, but you'll see) It would be better if we cooled it down a bit, but I just can't! When it happens it's spontaneous! I'm just worried about getting pregnant. Bankotsu doesn't seem to like children all that much. I have to make sure he doesn't kill them when we're raiding a village. But if worse comes to worse then I'll just have to go down the well. I haven't been down there since I was 13 and in diayokai that's a long time.

"I might have to resort to that though." I whispered to myself.

"Resort to what?" a familiar voice said. I turned around and couldn't believe who I saw.

"M-mother?" my voice practically trembled. She smiled. Her smile was so sweet and perfect. It melted my heart. I slowly walked towards her, away from the sleepy group. Tears were already threatening to fall from my eyes. My mother took my hand and lead me into the forest. She sat me down on a large rock then she sat down her self.

"It's been along time, hasn't it?" a tear slipped down my face. She almost had me fooled. I ripped out my sword and put it too her throat.

"You almost had me fooled." she smiled and laughed maniacally

"Haha that I did. I almost fooled the great female dog. Daughter or the Lord of the West. What was I thinking?" she pulled out a sword not nearly as capable as mine. I smirked she thought she was going to win…. How pathetic. I sliced her throat and watched the blood pour out she fell to the ground with a thud. I watched her squirm. Then I stabbed her in the head killing her instantly.

"Die you low-life yokai." I said. And she did. How dare she take the form of my mother and try to take my powers. I took my sword and ripped off part of her clothes and used it to clean off the blood.

"Wow, that's what I call a bitch." Bankotsu walked over kissed me and sat down next to me.

"She had no right." I said gripping my sword tight. Tight enough that it could slice my hand. Bankotsu had to pry my hand off the sword to stop myself from cutting it too deep.

"Calm down. She's dead now. You killed her. Now let go of the sword." he tried to sooth me with his comforting words….. It's wasn't really helping. I gripped the sword tighter. The blood flowed down my hand as the sword cut deeper.

"Rukia you're hurting yourself. Let go." he demanded. I didn't let go though. I burst out into tears. Still gripping the sword I cried into Bankotsu chest. I was crying so hard I didn't even notice Bankotsu slowly taking the sword from my death grip. That's when I felt the pain. "Rukia look at me." I didn't budge. "Rukia…." the way he said my name reminded me of my father…. And not too much does that. "You need to wrap your hand up or you're going to lose a lot of blood." he moved slightly and I heard the sounded of clothing being ripped. He slowly took my hand and wrapped my cut genteelly so he wouldn't hurt me. "You miss them don't you?" he asked me.

"Miss who?"

"Don't play dumb. Your family." I looked down at the ground. Bankotsu lifted my chin. "You do."

"A lot."

"I knew it. How long have you been away from them?"

"Since I was seven. And now being 18 I just don't know."

"Don't know what?"

"Don't know if I could ever face them again. Bankotsu they think I left them. They think I wanted to. I never-" my hand started throbbing. I stopped in mid sentence.

"Never wanted to what?" I looked at him my eyes full of sorrow.

"I never wanted to leave them."

Yep I'm tired… I lost my cell phone on the side of the rode isn't that dandy?
