"Hey Ita where you always a servant?" Jakotsu asked Itazura. He looked at the ground and nodded yes. "I moved from place to place in order to get more money." Itazura told Jakotsu.
"Well I'm glad I met you." Jakotsu told Itazura. Ita blushed and I smiled. 'Ah young love. It's so beautiful.' I thought to myself smiling. Bankotsu looked at me. "What are you smiling about?" He asked me. I simply looked at him "It's young love. It's so beautiful even though I used to despise it." I told him. I then looked at Amai and Suikotsu. Amai was telling him a story about how she caught a theif once and was seen as a hero. Renkotsu then got up and went to Ginkotsu to go look at his condintion.
I got up and went with Bankotsu to get fish. We headed off into the forest when my necklace started glowing. "What's going on?" Bankotsu asked me as he saw the necklace glowing. "I have no clue." I told him. I continued walking as if it wasn't a big deal. Bankotsu followed. As we got to the river I took off my shoes and went into the river. I started to grab some fish and put them on the side of the river. When I caught enough I put my shoes back on and carried some as Bankotsu carried the rest. When we returned to the spot where my necklace was glowing it started to glow brighter than before. I sighed not knowing why it was glowing. I then suddenly got a vision.
~Vision~ I could see two people and a demon. One was a hurt man and the other was a women. When I crossed to the front I could see Michiko and some man. She was right in the middle of slaying the demon when the demon cut her where I got cut. The demon then ran off in the distance. "That's the last time he tries to kill me with his men. Trying to disguise himself as a general." Michiko said. My eyes widen at the general part. 'Did I kill the demon diguised as a general?' I thought to myself. "He won't die easy. Let me help you up Haruko." Michiko told the Haruko. "Thank you Lady Michiko." He told her.
~End of Vision~ I had returned back to reality. "Essie are you ok?" He asked me.
"Yeah I'm fine. I just had a vision." I told him.
"A vision of what?" He asked me.
"A vision that was a battle of Michiko and a demon that was diguised as a general. He cut her in the exact spot I was. I battled him earlier but he ran off in the vision. She then helped up a man named Haruko." I explained to him.
"That's weird but you ok now?" He asked me. I nodded yes. I gave him a quick kiss and we headed back to the camp. We put the fish on the sticks and waited for them to cook. Once they were done we ate. "So what kind of dances are there Emily?" Suikotsu asked.
"Well there are so many. Let's see there is a waltz, fox trot, salsa, mambo, ballet and many more." I told Suikotsu.
"Did you do all of them?" Amai asked me.
"I've done almost every type there is. I'm very flexible too." I added.
"How flexible?" Bankotsu asked as his eyes lit up.
"Let's just leave it at flexible. I don't want to go into details." I told him. When the food was done cooking I passed a fish out to everyone. Once we were done I explained to them what each type of dance was. They soon went to sleep leaving me and Bankotsu the only ones awake. we were laying down and cuddling under the stars "You know Bankotsu I think I know why I accidentally came here. I think I did so I could stop that demon general. I have no clue how I'm going to do it though." I told him.
"Well I know you will but didn't you already kill him?" Bankotsu asked me.
"I have a feeling that he's still alive. He's out there somewhere." I told him with fright in my voice.
"I'm here to protect you, so there is no need to be frightened." He told me. I looked up at him and gave him a kiss. We soon fell asleep.
~Dream/vision~Michiko was walking out of a house and turned around. "I'll be back soon Haruko. There is no need to worry about me." She told him. "I'm sorry my beloved but I worry about you and our daughter and son. I can't help but worry about you when you go off to help villages who are being tormented by demons." Haruko told her. "Don't worry." She told him before she gave him a kiss. Michiko proceeded to walk. "Mom, Wait!" two children said as they ran up to Michiko. "Where are you going mom?" The little girl asked. Michiko bent down to her level. "Well, Kimi mommy has to go help a village in need." Michiko told Kimmi. "Will you be back soon?" the boy asked. "Yes, Kuri I will be back soon. Don't worry I'll be home before you know it." She told Kuri. She gave both of them a kiss and stood up. "Now you be good for your dad while I'm gone." She told them. They both nodded. They ran to Haruko. Michiko proceeded to walk out of the village
~End of dream/vision~I awoke with the sun slowly rising. 'Why all of a sudden I start getting these visions of the past?' I thought to myself. I heard someone else yawn and sat up quickly before whoever was awake didn't see me and Bankotsu like this. I got up and grabbed my clothes to go change while Renkotsu was waking up. He watched me walk away. I got an eerie feeling from him. I changed into a black and purple plaid skirt, leaving the shorts on and a purple tanktop. I picked up my clothes and started to walk out the forest. When I stepped outside it I saw Renkotsu standing in front of me.
"Hey Renkotsu." I told him. He gave me an evil smirk. I tried to get by him but he blocked my way. He pulled me closer to him and I was in his face. "Such a pretty face." Renkotsu told me as he tried to kiss me. I punched him in the face and backed away. "You little wench!" He said bitterly. I dropped my clothes as he was coming at me. I swiftly moved out of the way and tripped him. I kicked him in the side. He grabbed my leg and pulled me down. He was now on top of me. I kicked him off and punched him with my good arm. I then kicked him in the crotch. He got down and winced in pain. "If anyone asks why you are sore. You make up some excuse and if you don't I promise I will hurt you more." I told him as I kicked him in the side. I picked up my clothes and returned to the camsite. I put them in my bag. I saw Bankotsu awaking. "Hey sunshine." I told him. He smiled at me.
"Do I get a kiss?" He asked me. I shook my head.
"Renkotsu is awake and I'm not ready to tell them." I smiled at him.
"I like your clothing today." He told me.
"Thank you." I told him. I sat down next to him and looked at Renkotsu. He was still in pain but his back was turned to us. I gave Bankotsu a short passionate kiss. When I pulled away Bankotsu was shocked at my sudden kiss. "Renkotsu wasn't looking." I told him. Bankotsu looked at Renkotsu who was now lying on the ground. He leaned in closer and gave me a long deep passionate kiss. I pulled away smiling. Once everyone was awake we got going. Renkotsu was riding on Ginkotsu with the others as Bankotsu and I was walking.
I was looking at Bankotsu 'Should I tell Bankotsu? What happnens if he tries that again? I don't know what to do. What happens if Bankotsu thinks that I was leading him on? I don't know what to do. I'm just going to tell him.' I thought. "Bankotsu I have something to tell you." I told him as I looked at the ground.
"What is it Emily?" He asked me as he looked at me.
"This morning Renkotsu tried to kiss me." I told him softly. He stopped and grabbed my shoulders and brought my head up to look him in the eyes. "Did he hurt you?" He asked angry.
"No but I hurt him." I told him. He then walked away from me to Ginkotsu who had stopped when Bankotsu stopped. Bankotsu got on Ginkotsu and went straight to Renkotsu. All eyes were on Bankotsu. "YOU EVER TRY ANYTHING ON HER LIKE THAT AGAIN I WILL MAKE SURE I WILL TAKE THE JEWEL SHARDS FROM YOUR NECK!" Bankotsu yelled at Renkotsu. "Y-y-yes Big Brother." Renkotsu stuttered with fear. Then Bankotsu returned to me and we started walking again.
We then arrived to a village. My jaw dropped as I recognized this village. This was the village in my vision. Then I started to have another vision.
~Vision~
Michiko was walking into the abandon demon slayer village that I had visited earlier with the others. Then a bunch of men and demons came out of nowhere. I saw Michiko defeat them all and then I saw the demon general. "Yoshi you will not win this fight." Michikok said. "Oh but I believe I will and I will get that necklace and become powerful." Yoshi told him. They soon started to fight. In the middle of the fight Michiko went to go to injure Yoshi when he stabbed her. She fell clenching her wound. She saw that she was bleeding a lot. The wound was fatal. "You shall die becaue my ancestor from another world shall come and kill you!" Michiko told him. Yoshi laughed at her. He went up to her and tried to get the necklace but he was zapped. "You will never be able to touch this necklace as long as it is under my protection." Michiko told him. "You wench!" Yoshi said as he kicked her and then left.
~End of Vision~
I gasped at what I had saw. "What is it?" Bankotsu asked me. "Another vision. It was how Michiko died." I told him. "Was it bad?" Bankotsu asked me. I nodded. I proceeded to walk through the village when we came across an old monk. He walked up to me and looked at my necklace. "Why do you have my mother's necklace?" He asked me. Bankotsu was about to step in when I cut him off. "Kuri? You became a monk?" I asked him. He was surprised that I knew his name. "How do you know my name?" He asked me. "I saw a vision when you were little." I told him. "So it is true. Please follow me." Kuri told me. I followed him and the group followed me. We came to Michiko and Haruko's old hut. "Kimmi, our ancestor is here!" Kuri called inside the house. Then an old woman came out holding a child with another one standing by her side.
