FLASH BACK

"Bankotsu, you were already strong enough. You were to power hungry." Inuyasha said as he looked down on the half dead Bankotsu. "You should have just lived life again while you still could." Bankotsu just smirked. The last thing he saw after that was darkness yet again.

END FLASH BACK

"I am going to get the son of a bitch, Inuyasha." Growled Bankotsu.

"Big Brother are you sure about this. Inuyasha has sure to have been gotten stronger since the last time we saw him." Renkotsu said. "It is possible you could get hurt."

"And since when did you care about if I got hurt or not, you are even lucky I choose you to be resurrected. You are nothing but a trader." Bankotsu spat at Renkotsu. Renkotsu just bowed his head and said nothing back.

After about an hour of no talking, Jakotsu piped up and asked

"Bankotsu, where are we going?"

"Didn't I tell you already?!? We are going to find Inuyasha and kill him!" Jakotsu's face lit up. A smile grew on his face.

"Really! Oh I can't wait to see his face when he sees me again. Priceless is what it will be. And oh what a fight he will put up. I can't wait another second!" Jakotsu started to jump up and down. Suikotsu, Renkotsu, and Bankotsu just stared at him.

"Jakotsu," Suikotsu said, "do me a favor and stop bouncing," Jakotsu gave him a sour look then kept bouncing up and down. Up and down, up and down, up and down until finally

"JAKOTSU!!!!" Renkotsu screamed, "STOP!!" everyone looked over at Renkotsu. Jakotsu's practically jumped out of his skin; his face was in total shock. Bankotsu burst out laughing and soon followed Suikotsu. Renkotsu chuckled to himself a bit.

"What is so funny?!?!" Jakotsu yelled hands on his hips. Bankotsu trying to get off the ground from laughing so hard managed to get out

"You- you –should –ha-have seen your face, it was like –like- wooooooo and wahhhh hahahahahahahah. Oh my god. If you think Inuyasha's face is going to be priceless you should have seen your's!" Bankotsu couldn't stop laughing. Jakotsu just pouted.

After about 20 minutes of non-stop-laughter the group of mercenaries kept walking.

"We are getting near." Bankotsu said. They started to get into more woodsy area. It was getting pretty dense. The trees were massive. Branches, twigs, sticks everywhere. The sound of splashing water could be heard not to far off from where the group was.

"Hey," Bankotsu whispered, "this way." He pointed in the direction the splashing was coming from. All four slowly walked over to the noise, not sure if it could be a demon or some else. Bankotsu slowly pushed away some bushes to find not a horrid demon but a little girl, splashing in a little stream. From the looks of it though she was a demon and a small one. Maybe around five. She had snow white hair down to her waste; there was a little white flower in her hair. She is wearing a white kimono with delicate sakaru (??sp) flowers. 'She is a pretty little girl. Wait. WHAT!!!?? What am I thinking? Am I going soft??? Kill the girl now!!' that is what Bankotsu's thought told him, but he had a different idea. He was going to watch her, but first he needed his band to leave. He turned around and told them to set up camp.

"What about that noise?" Jakotsu asked.

"It was nothing. Just some fish in a stream. Now move! Go!" All three of them scurried away to do as they were told. Bankosu went back to watching the little girl.

When he turned around to see the little girl he noticed the she wasn't playing in the water anymore, but letting her feet dangle in it. The looked all fuzzy in the cold water.

'I wonder if she is cold. Ahhhhhh, bad Bankotsu bad. Don't be a prev. Just a little while longer. Just to see if she knows where Inuyasha is.'

Soon though the little girl/demon started to hum a tune. Oh and how sweet the tune was to Bankotsu's ears. The melody filled the air. It was so sweet. It was like honey to him. He closed his eyes and lay down. He soon heard an even sweeter sound, her voice. Is was so majestic. The words at first the words didn't mean much, until he actually got them.

"Bone sinking like stones all that we've fought for. Homes places we've grown all of us are done for. And we live in a beautiful world. Ya we do ya we do. We live in a beautiful world. Bones sinking like stones all the we've fought for. Homes places we've grown all of us are done for. And we live in a beautiful world. Ya we do ya we do. We live in a beautiful world. And we live in a beautiful world. Ya we do ya we do. We live in a beautiful world. Oh all that I've known there's nothing else to run from. 'Cause yet everyone here's got somebody to lean on" her voice was so sweet. It was like the thing he was missing. He wanted her to keep singing, but her voice juts trailed off.

Bakotsu opened his eyes to see the little girl one more time before he left back for camp. But when he looked up she wasn't there. A wave of sadness swept over Bankotsu for a second, but was quickly replaced with shock as he was thrown to the ground with a THUD!

"What the hell?!?" Bankotsu gasped as he looked to see what the little weight on his chest was. It was the little girl. She was kneeling on his chest just staring at him with her big sandy golden eyes speckled with green. He stared right back at her with his blue saphire ones.

"Who are you?" the little girl asked showing little emotion.

"My name is Bankotsu, little girl. Now please get off of me." Bankotsu said stern like, but kind so she wouldn't get frightened.

"No. Not until you tell me why you were watching me play in the water and sing." Bankotsu's face turned a light shade of pink. "You don't have to blush in front on me. I don't like it. It is dumb when people do that. I don't do it. Besides I am pive you don't have to get all mushy in front of a pive year old." Bankotsu's face twisted

"Pive? Don't you mean five?"

"That's what I said" he was about to say something else when he noticed her face was serious. 'Well she is five, can't except her to have every word right, can you?'

"Ah, ya. Can you get off me now girl."

"I have a name." she said.

"Oh ya," Bankotsu smirked noticing her feistiness, "What is it?"

"Rukia." (Not to be confused with the girl from bleach. This Rukia is a completely different person. Trust me.)

"That's a pretty name. Now would you please get off me?"

"No. Use my name."

"Fine fine. Rukia would you get off of me now."

"No."

"What!" Bankotsu was staring to get a little irritated now.

"Use your manners. What do youth tink your mother taught you them thor!!"

"Grrr. Fine, Rukia would you please get off of me now." Rukia smiled at Bankotsu and got off of him. "Thank you. You know you way more than I thought you would." Bankotsu gave her a smirk.

"Ya a lot of people say that. My uncle says it a lot and my mommy."

"Ummmm."

"Bankotsu."

"Ya"

"My real daddy is fighting right now and he won't be back for two months and I ….I…. would you …… be my daddy for now??" Bankotsu's head turned toward Rukia. She had little puppy dog eyes and was giving him the lip. And she even whined a bit, sometimes being part dog does have its advantages.

"Please," she whined "I know we have only known each other for …ummmm…whatever amount of time I spent with you today, but I think you would make a good daddy to me for now. Please." How could he say no. He could he was a mercenary with no heart, though for some reason he wanted to, but didn't have the guts or balls to say yes. He thought he was "soft" enough already. (What a hard ass, both ways. Meeeeeeeooooowwww)

"I can't, sorry Rukia. I can't. I am a –" before Bankotsu could finish the rest of his sentence Rukia was walking away.

"Goodbye Bankotsu. I will miss you. You will always be my second daddy." Rukia showed no visible sign of emotion, but Banotsu could tell she was upset. He could hear it in her voice; he could see the tear drops. He wanted to say sorry and hug her and be her second daddy, but he had a reputation. He was a fucking mercenary. He didn't have the time to be a father. Nor did he want to be one at the time. HE IS FUCKING SEVENTEEN!!!!! When the time is right. Not now.

All he could do was watch her walk away. And all he could do was walk back to camp with some firewood. Jakotsu would ask what took so long he would say nothing. That would obviously be a total lie. They would be looking for Inuyasha for the next 5 days. Find him fight him. He got stronger. He kills Suikotsu, then Resnkotsu, then Jakotsu, and finally for the big finish … Bankotsu. The last person Bankotsu saw before he died was her. He saw his daughter …..Rukia. What he doesn't know is she will soon be more than an adopted friend.
