Hey guys! I decided not to torture you any more! However, this was written in like and hour and I am too tired to check over it! SO if there are any mistakes . . . get over it for now . . . lol . . . this is short but I had to get you all something before I left for the weekend!


Bankotsu, the ever cheerful and high-spirited leader of the band of seven, was officially pissed! His normally cheerful demeanor had turned sour in the few hours since he had captured the blonde demoness. His eyes bore into the sleeping woman's figure with hatred and confusion. Thanks to this small demon, his last companion was gone.

"Jakotsu . . . your death will not be in vain!" Bankotsu growled out as his eyes took on a deadly look. His hands balled into fists at what the demon child Kanna had showed him only moments ago . . . Sesshomaru had destroyed his brother.

FLASH BACK

"I hope you're ready to die!"

Jakotsu's eyes widened at the hatred within the Inu Lord's voice, "Heh . . . well, come one then! I don't have all day!"

Sesshomaru, not being one to disappoint those who wished to die, leapt forward with his tokijin ready.

"So forward, I like!" Jakotsu taunted as he raised his sword up high and swung it toward the advancing demon.

Sesshomaru smirked as he easily dodged the sword and countered Jakotsu's attack by capturing the sword in his poison whip. Jakotsu's gasp of outrage fulled Sesshomaru to continue.

"Shit!" Jakotsu cursed as he was forced to release his sword to escape the swing of tokijin.

"It seems you are nothing without this sword of yours!" Sesshomaru stated as he picked up the snake like sword by its hilt.

"Why you . . . hey what are you doing?" Jakotsu cried out as he watched Sesshomaru's hand gather a green aura.

"Destroying this pitiful excuse of a sword . . ." Sesshomaru growled as his poison slowly ate away at the sword. Within a few moments, all that was left of the sword was a pool of molten liquid on the ground.

"M-my . . . sword . . ." Jakotsu whimpered as he stared at what used to be his weapon.

"Now prepare to die!"

"NO! I WON'T LET IT END LIKE THIS!" Jakotsu yelled as he took off in the opposite direction.

Sesshomaru let a satisfied smirk grace his features as he watched the weak coward TRY to escape. How humorous it was to see, however, all good things must come to an end. Sesshomaru let our a powerful roar of triumph as he finally released his inner demon. Power radiated off of him in waves as his body took on his ultimate transformation, a giant dog demon.

Jakotsu screamed as he looked over his shoulder and at the newly transformed demon. "HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?" Jakotsu gasped as he started to take off again but was stopped by a giant paw tossing him to the side.

"Damn that hurt . . ." Jakotsu moaned from his position on the ground. Try as he might, his body was too weak and he couldn't move. Jakotsu stared wide eyed and fightened at the large dog demon standing above him. The only thing he could do was watch as the dog's muzzle baring sharp shiny teeth began to descend toward him . . .

END FLASHBACK

A slight moan from the demoness was enough to bring Bankotsu out of his thoughts. Standing up with the aide of his Banryuu, Bankotsu made his way over to the demoness.

"What makes you so important?" Bankotsu questioned the sleeping woman as he tilted her head towards him. His eyes drank in her broken and beaten figure. She sure didn't seem like someone powerful enough to supposedly evoke the curiosity of Naraku. Bankotsu smirked at how easily she had been beaten but automatically frowned at the thought. Now that he thought about it, she did seem as if she was holding back but the reason as to why he did not know.

::Knock, Knock::

"Lord Bankotsu, I have brought you our healer!"

"Very well!" Bankotsu said to himself as slid open the door to the room and allowed the chief of the village and the village healer inside.


"So Jakotsu has failed? What of his jewel shard? Very well then, I will inform Naraku!" the wind demoness Kagura grumbled as she turned to leave and inform her 'master' of the discovery.

'Naraku isn't going to be too pleased to hear this . . .' Kagura thought as she fanned herself with her fan.

Finally, after what seemed to have taken forever, Kagura reached her destination.

"What do you have to report?" Naraku questioned immediately.

"Sesshomaru was able to defeat Jakotsu and the miko was able to purify the shard before the saimyosho could retrieve it!" Kagura said emotionlessly.

"Everything is going as planned then . . ." Naraku stated in a too 'cheerful' tone.

'What's this? Why isn't he worried about the shard?' Kagura thought as she masked her surprised expression behind her fan.

"Kanna!" Naraku called out to the child at his side.

"Bankotsu and the demoness are currently residing in a human village. The demoness was too weak to continue traveling . . ." the hollowed voice of the detachment replied as she used her mirror to reveal Bankotsu and the demoness.

'What is going on here?' Kagura thought in confusion as she watched Kanna's mirror with intrest.

"Return to him in two days time and tell him to bring her here regardless if she is well or not. I do not have time to waste with him!" Naraku growled as his eyes began to glow a deep shade of crimson red.

"Yes Master!"


GO SESSHY! Hehe! What does Naraku have planned for our dear princess? You'll have to wait and find out . . . you'll never guess why . . . but try I want everyone's input. I want you to tell me what YOU think is going to happen! I'm curious as to how many will figure it out! hehe . . grins evilly

Sesshomaru:: shakes head: you've officially gone insane and I'm scared to find out what you are going to do
