You are a woman of your word, but Bankotsu still doesn’t trust you. Even if he was in a hurry to meet his comrade, he didn’t want to lose you from his sight, so he was continuously making signs to you to hurry up down the stairs to the main floor, where the bar was located.
The attractive look of the woman was taking all looks of the half-drunk guys, who were one cup away from falling on the table unconscious. She really was beautiful but something in her bugged you. A feeling of something false was in her, yet you didn’t know what, and ignored it.
“O-aniki~” said the woman sweetly when she saw the kid and waved at him. She made a sign for them to see down and have a drink.
The waitress fulfilled the order of 2 sakes and a single glass of water, ordered by you, so it will keep your head clean. From now on you couldn’t let your guard down. You still think that the sake last night, made you lose to that little brat. You had to find a way to get away from this bet and gain your freedom once again… even of somewhere deep inside you didn’t wanted it.
“I see you found her, o-aniki~!” the woman said after drinking half of the sake in one razing of the cup. “She one of us?”
“Yes, my dear friend.” he smile happy with his success. “This is Jakotsu, a member and a friend of mine.
“Sure~” you say looking aside, pretending not to care about there conversation. You suspected that to be his girlfriend or something… you felt something hard in your chest, a pain which was more mental then physical. You ignored it as any other feeling you have felt in your life and kept on looking around, avoiding, purposely, Bankotsu’s face.
“He was hiding, but I found him!” said Jakotsu happily and blushed from the rest of the sake he drunk after those words. “He was at mountain along with some old guy… his father I think he was… the man is sick and has a lot of depths and was hiding quite good.”
“You didn’t hurt anyone around him, did you?” Bankotsu said worried he may be wrong.
“No, aniki, as you wished. I just saw where he is and came back for you.”
“That is one problem solved.” Bankotsu smiled. “We will get that popular son of his and we will be 4.”
“4~ 4~ 4~” Jakotsu started singing and ordered one more cup of sake.
“Only 4 are not enough…” you whisper, so only Bankotsu will hear. Not that with Jakotsu’s singing someone else could, but you wanted to be careful.
“For a beginning it’s fine. And after we claim the weapons from that old bag, we will be even more powerful.” Bankotsu smirked.
You looked in his blue eyes with surprised. Even if he gave little information you knew, for some reason, he was talking about the old legend. Around the inns, among the drunk man, a rumor was spread. Of an old blacksmith, who was 100 years old, yet he wasn’t a demon. He was skilful with the hammer and anvil, and could make a weapon that answers only to you. But no one has seen this person and no one could prove his greatness. You personally didn’t believe in that. You liked your little sais though you could use any small sharp thing as a weapon.
Jakotsu was ordering his 4th sake cup when Bankotsu demanded to pay the bill and leave.
“Oh aniki, not going to celebrate?” the woman said. “I heard you can find some nice company in this village, if you know what I mean.” He winked with a perverted look.
Bankotsu looked around to see a female that fits his likings but he wasn’t happy with the one he was seeing.
“If you have a favorite, I will pay for it.” he said calmly. “I personally can’t find one I like… from the one that are selling that is…” he said and gave you a smirk. You looked aside. “Oh well, send one of your choice to my room.” He told his friend. “If you like one for yourself, girly, I will pay for that as well.”
“The sluts here are expensive, how can you afford it?” you asked curiously.
“Familiar with the prices, aren’t you? I have my ways.” he winked and went upstairs. Before he goes too far from you he says calmly. “You are always welcome in my room, girly.”
His figure was lost in the shadow of the second floor. Since his presence was no longer around you, you relaxed on the chair. You were looking how Jakotsu was picking man as like they were accessories in some shop. She picked a tall dark-skinned man with black hair and warm brown eyes, and together they went up in the already arranged by the leader room for her. That guy was your type, at least till now. He no longer looked that attractive and divine to you. The blue eyes of Bankotsu had invaded your mind; eyes, so strong and powerful, hungry for blood and lust, and at the same time, so innocent and naïve, kind and warm. Those eyes scared you and yet made you trust that guy, and let him follow him.
You returned at your room and lay on your bed. You started thinking about this Bankotsu guy, what he wanted and how he acted. Power, what is this power he was seeking? He wanted to rule or he wanted to be strong? Or both? In any case you had to follow him… maybe he would be the one that will help you fulfill your goal.
“A young man from far away, who carries the light and the darkness in his heart. He will fee you from your chains of the past and lead you to your freedom. You will find your purpose and revenge your family.” The words by that old lady that you met a year ago came to you in your dream. You got up and looked outside to the night. You put your arms at the window and looked at the peaceful environment outside. Not knowing what it came to you, you went out of your room, passed several doors to the right, and entered the following one. He wasn’t asleep. He was looking at the full moon though the window. He heard you come in, but didn’t move, as if he left you the time to reconsider on the way from the door to the window. You didn’t step back and you liked that he gave you this time. You were even more certain now. He looked at you just when you went next to him. He smiled at you which made you smile back. He run his hand though your hair and kissed your lips softly and gentle. Making sure you want it. You answered back to the kiss and he decided that you are curtain now.
Author’s note: Before you start msg-ing me with asking for a lemon, save it, due to the new rules I can’t post one. Actually I don’t want to ruin the story with a stupid lemon xD Tank you for reading, hope you liked it. I know some of the characters may act different but give them time. This is still the beginning.
One more thing. Since it’s a Band of Seven one of the original will be left out… like he was never there. I choose Kyokotsu, since I don’t see big and interesting use of him. I think your character is way more cool then him, and you will be way more useful. You will find out why in the next chapters. Don’t forget to rate and comment. You know I want to know what you liked and disliked in the story.
Second note: I know Jakotsu is a guy D= But you still don’t in the story so live with it xD
The chapter issue: I kind of mixed up. Don't get how this chapter thing works yet. So keep track on the list. I don't like the new quizilla. I like the simple look with Penny (the pencil logo). Penny come back ;_;
