[A Bankotsu Story for Girls]
By Sanriko
Chapter 1, Part 1...Captured and Chained
*Groan* You opened your eyes slowly to be greeted by a blinding light of the sunrise.
::/ Stupid sun...in my eyes it's blinding... /:: You looked down and saw that your feet was chained to a rock. When you looked around some more you saw that your arms had been chained as well. And it was all facing towards the sun, how comforting huh?
::/ What happened? /:: You thought to yourself, you didnt remember anything, your mind was blank just a vast black emptiness. You closed your eyes and tried to think some more. But strangely a strange pain went to your head when thought about it, it was blinding pain like a stab to the head. You decided to give up and try to think of a way to get yourself unchained and not think about your disfunctional memories.
You pulled the chain hard but it hurt your wrist so much that you stopped. ::/ Stupid chain.../:: Right now you felt like everything that was annoying was stupid: The sun, the chain, and most importantly your memories that you were unable to remember. It nade you feel stupid and vulnerable.
::/ Stop trying to pull yourself free of those chains, they're made of the finest iron in this village. They all worked hard to make sure you stay put. /::
You looked in front of you to see where that voice came from. You couldn't see the person because the light of the sun was in your way. But however, no matter the disadvantage, you said bitterly. ::/ Trying? Please, I was merely testing. And if they used the finest iron I can't help but think of how much money they wasted just to keep me here... /::
Whoever the person was, you could tell that they were stomping closer to you as the footsteps approached. ::/ You wench, how can you speak that way when you are in such a bad condition. I wouldn't be talking if I were you. /:: The voice seemed so angry that the person slapped you across the face.
Your cheek was burning from the slap but you didn't show how much it hurt. Instead you held back your anger by biting you lip. ::/ Why didn't you do that before? The argument would have turned out to be more interesting. /:: You had no intention in showing how scared you were, which surprising since you were sure you weren't easily scared. This idiot didn't know who they were dealing with. Even though you yourself didn't know who they were dealing with...-_-
::/ Argh! I cant stand you! I liked it better when you were unconscious and quiet! /:: The person then finally got out the sunlight and you could see the persons face.
The person was a woman?! What the-? At first you couldnt notice it by the voice because her voice was muffled but now that she took off her cape she was revealed.
The woman had reddish and kind of purple hair. Her hair was undone and with her she carried a sword with a golden handle and a sheath to match with it. Her eyes were red and strangely, there were wings out of her head?! What the heck?! She also was wearing a bit of armor over a dress that was brown.
You stared at her. You were amazed by her but mostly because of the wings. ::/ So, Are the wings natural in your village? I mean does everyone have wings coming out of their heads? /::
::/ You baka! What business is it of yours? Just...back off... /:: She suddenly looked away.
::/ So, do you ever feel light headed? /:: You meant it as a joke because of the wings.
::/ Sometimes I do but it isnt because of the wings... /:: She answered softly this time.
You were getting bored. What was this girl here for anyway? Didnt she want to kill you or something?
::/ Are you supposed to be on guard for me or something? /:: You again looked at your chains. Hmm, they seemed to be on tight. Well, they hurt and you wanted to take the stupid things off...now.
The girls tone changed and she quickly said. ::/ Yes, I actually am. /::
Suddenly you regretted reminding her and you realized that now she wouldn't be talking to you. Which meant no information on the situation...which meant you'd be left in the dark...at a disadvantage...(You seeing where I'm going with this? O.o) ::/What a shame, how interested I am to know what's going on with the villagers...are they happy of my capture?/:: You acted as though you were talking to yourself.
You waited for her to reply. And like you predicted, she did. ::/You couldn't imagine their happiness....but they are distraught that you are being kept...alive... /:: Inside you were smiling triumphantly that you got her to talk.
But another side of you was thinking: Well, that is interesting. I'm being kept alive when the villagers don't want me alive...as though that makes sense... ::/ Why am I chained here anyway? /:: You asked mindlessly not thinking of the consequences awaiting you.
The girl shot a glare at you and said harshly. ::/ Oh, don't you remember?! You slayed almost every village you came across! You were like a bloodthristy madman, you might as well have been a man eating demon! /:: The woman didn't seem very happy and thought you were playing some joke on her. A joke which you yourself didn't understand, which sucks.
::/ Really? I must be strong then. Doesnt that mean that you fear me? /:: You spoke sarcastically. But now you knew a little bit about yourself and that was that you must have been very passionate about fighting...either that or you are a sadistic maniac....let's just go with passionate about fighting...-.-;
