"Fine, ignore me everyone..." TokeJiba said and turned away.
Once TokeJiba was out of sight, Bankotsu returned, and he saw there was 1 extra person, another woman, he get closer, and then he asked the woman that was getting close to the child.
"Who are you. I was here not too long ago, you weren't here. Who are you, do you know anythign at all about where i can find Naraku?"

Blue-gray eyes flicked from one stranger, to the next, and to the mercenary. What in the world was going on here? This place was supposed to be secluded, although obviously not as much so as she had previously believed. She wondered briefly if there was a chance that she could possibly slip away without any one of them noticing her departure. Somehow, she doubted that someone would not notice.
She eyed the suspicious new demon warily, nonchalantly stepping between her and Asuma so as to keep her from getting closer to the child. Why on earth had Asuma come back from the future in the first place? She'd have to have a talk with the adult him, Hikitsu, as soon as they got out of there. He had to know what trouble he had caused her, as well as the trouble he undoubtedly caused Naraku as well. Naraku had been vehement about not wanting the two to have a child together, and yet somehow, they still did.
She did not remember much of what happened that day, or the events of the following few days. All she really did remember was meeting the adult man who claimed to be the son of her and Naraku, and then proceeded to prove it to them. After that, well, her mind was a complete blank. She vaguely remembered making a promise to protect their child no matter what the costs, but other than that, nothing.
Glancing over at Bankotsu she almost groaned. Hadn't he left? Why was he back so soon? She felt a headache beginning to pound against her skull, making her want to wince. However, she remained perfectly still, not daring to make any sudden movements. She hoped that this would not go on for much longer, although there was no way to shorten the amount of time that these people seemed to want to take up. With a mental sigh she raised her shoulders and lowered them in a barely perceptible shrug.
"We are simply a mother and her child, taking a short leave from traveling; nothing more. However, I would very much like it if you would allow me to pass, so that we may continue our journey." She highly doubted that this would do any good, but at least it would probably buy them enough time for her to think of a better plan. |

"If your looking for Naraku," Bankotsu said to the female demon, "Then you should probaly just wait around here, he will probaly be walking around. And as for you, 'woman', im starting to think your not human, you never move, not one muscle, move more."
Bankotsu glared at the strange female demon, then looked back at the child, then at Yuna.
I need to keep an eye on this strange demon, if anybody will harm the child or the woman, its me, just they dont deserve it now. There. Settled. I'm not leaving here until that female demon does, i cant have the child. most of all, Yuna get hurt if they know about Naraku.
And so Bankotsu said what he had to and just stood there, making sure nobody left, and nobody would get killed.

Tsuzuki twisted her neck to face Bankotsu, one white eyebrow arched delicately over a pink eye.
"I am Tsuzuki. My companion is Yuki."
She turned back around, but continued to watch from the corner of her eye.
"I know you were just here. I've been watching this area for quite a while. "She smiled again
"Well, more listening, than watching"
She chuckled a bit
"But you get the idea. And know, I wouldn't know anything about Naraku. That's actually why I'm here-- I'm gathering information for a few... Well, lets call them 'friends'."
She laughed again, this time directing her attention to the woman and child. Tsuzuki's snow white tail flicked lazily as she started to pace. Yuki kept her dark, liquid eyes trained on the boy.
"So you have a child with this Naraku, do you? I wouldn't suppose you were his mate?"
She thought back to her conversation with Eichi. She mentioned a demon. Now that Zuki was this close, she could tell this female was defiantly human. The child would be the hanyou.
"I'm sorry, but I don't believe you're 'simply just a mother and child'. I truly am curious about your situation. "
Tsuzuki could feel the human glaring at her.
"Hm. If you're wondering, boy, I am no alley of Naraku's. Anyway, I think you shall find yourself in quite an displeasing situation if you keep up this attitude toward me."
She cracked her knuckles, still maintaining her most innocent, child-like smile.
Damn this barrier... Still, he's only a mortal.... But this heat from the springs...Ugh...

"Oh" Chuckled Bankotsu, "You think if i keep my attitude that you will stop me? Demon or not, i dont think you could beat me, even if this barrier was up." Bankotsu laughed a little bit. "Nobody controls me or tells me what to do, i've learned my lesson."
Bankotsu glared at the demon, "Well, Tsuzuki, if your looking for Naraku, whats your case, are you trying to defeat him? If you are, you would probaly need some help" Bankotsu said smiling, "So, what IS your story, why ARE you seeking Naraku?" Bankotsu asked.
Jakotsu was somewhere, spying on them, as Bankotsu asked, just in case any trouble were to come.

Staying silent would be a good plan, but Yuna was not sure if it would work. In fact, she was pretty sure that staying silent would only result in violence and anger; two things that she was not looking forward to. Undoubtedly at some point, when she truly wished to flee with Asuma, they would probably have to fight their way out. There was almost no chance that these people would let the two of them leave unharmed.
Cocking her head to the side just enough so that it would be obviously noticeable she looked over the female demon. She appeared strong, but the barrier was obviously hampering her powers. And the mercenary... well, he didn't seem to be too shabby either. However, he, she could handle. Her sword was tied to the sash on her waist, easily within reach if she were to need it. The demon would still be a problem though. She supposed she could leave her to Asuma, but the child was weakened by the barrier as well.
"I was once a human, and in body, still am. But because of a curse placed upon me almost five hundred years ago, I live the life of a demon. But because I was originally a human, and have lived as a priestess for most of my time on this earth, I am not affected by the power of this mountain." She folded her arms over her chest, letting her fingertips drape across the hilt of her weapon as she stared at the two calmly, her face expressionless.
"The child... he is a full demon, not a half. As for me being Naraku's mate... I do not possess such a title." In fact, she did not even know what she was to Naraku. It was not as though they had discussed such things. "I have heard a rumor that another possesses that title though. Perhaps you should seek her out." |

"Thats all the information you can give us? No name?"
Bankotsu was curious.
"I'm not leaving just yet, but when i do, and i find out its a false runour, your head, and the childs, will be left to Jakotsu"

Walking around in her child form in Mount Hakurei, she staggered from the long walk. The purifying barrier could drain a lot out of a demon, but lucky for her she had the shadows of a priestess and maiden wrapped around her. Though a shadow of a person, the very essence of it is the same as the owner. So the purity of the shadow blocks off the purifying barrier because of the purity of the holy humans by a lot. Though since she is a shadow demon she is unaffected by the shadow totally canceling out both of them so she is at full strength in the end. Keeping her aura condensed a bit she could walk around like a child demon, other demons dismissing her for something weak either leaving her alone or thinking her of food. In the end the demon’s who thought she was their dinner got their heads cleaved right off their shoulders by her magic.
Dragging her staff, as the purple misted black jewel clanged against the ground. You would think that she would be worried of it getting broken, but it can survive being whacked into the head of the densest skull in the world. You would think it could handle being dragged on the ground. Looking around she held onto her huge witch like hat, as the wind started to blow.
I’m lost yet again. Why do I keep getting lost, so what’s next. I run into a bunch of people like I usually do.
Cocking her head to the side she could hear some voices just a whiles away. Narrowing her eyes and frowning she screams in her head. Damn you irony. Walking towards the sound of the voices she catches a glimpse of a white tail.
Hm… It looks like Yuki’s tail.
And sure enough were ever Yuki is no doubt her mistress would be there. Hesitant to walk a little she stands there, just waiting for one of them to take notice of her, trying to put on the dumb little girl look she could muster she stares.

"You really think you stand a chance, Mortal? Fool."
Learned his lesson has he? Now I'm curious...
Pink eyes glittered viciously as she twisted around to face the mercenary.
"You-- Who are you? And I am quite curious as to what your relationship with Naraku is. Prey tell? I currently an 'alley'" She said the word with a sort of mocking scorn, "Of Amoi. My story? I hail from the far northern regions of this land, the high mountains. I have no pack-- Yuki is my only companion. Upon my arrival in the South I met Amoi and agreed to an alliance, but have not seen or heard from here since. I seek the sacred jewel shards-- that is why I hunt Naraku."
Tsuzuki wasn't worried about giving away so much information-- No one here seemed to happy with Naraku anyway, and she wasn't giving away anything that could really be used against her.
She turned around once again to face the woman and child.
"A curse, how... Interesting...."
Zuki's eyes followed her hand as it trailed to her weapon. She took a few steps closer.
"A child with him but not his mate? Well then, either he is truly horrible or you need to rethink your morals, priestess."
Leaving the mother of your child-- a crime that would be truly heinous in her own tribe. But she spoke of another mate-- the dark elemental demon.
Suddenly Yuki's ears pricked, and her tail began to flick. She gave a growl to Tsuzuki who turned around again-- not to face Bankotsu, but a much more familiar scent.
"Ah, Eichi-san! What brings you here?"
She grinned at the child motioning for her to come join them.
"I think you'll find this quite interesting"

It was true that she should probably rethink her morals, but she was not even certain she had them any longer. She had stopped attempting to help people who were obviously in dire need of assistance, unless they asked her to. She had stopped going out of her way to help people, and she had definitely stopped despising demons. There were many things about her that had changed these past eight years, and none of them had been good. Except of course having her son.
Yuna would have let what she said go, she really would have, had it not been for how she seemed to have gotten the wrong impression of the situation. It did not warrant further explanation, and she really would probably do better by not saying a thing, but that was not in her nature. Not any longer, that is. And especially not when it came to Naraku or Asuma.
"Naraku knew that I could handle myself and our son on my own, without his assistance. And I am sure that you have heard that for a time, he wad dead, killed by his own minions. That happened, soon after I became pregnant. We did not exactly have time to discuss our... relationship."
Her thoughts were racing, trying to form answers that would explain what she was doing. She was defending Naraku, though she did not know why. Yes, she cared for him. But enough to defend him when it would be so much simpler to remain silent and to just accept what this woman said? She really must be losing her mind, or at the very least, her heart, to the dark demon. |

"You think YOU stand a chance? Demon scum, ive faught stronger FOX demons than you are beginning to look. Anyway, i am Bankotsu, Leader of the Band of Seven. I seek Naraku because not long ago, at this very mountian, a half-demon : Inu-Yasha had blown Naraku's body to bits and pieces. Naraku summoned the Band of Seven back to life, as we had already been killed, he needed to hide himself in Mt.Hakurei so he could eventually trap Inu-Yasha and take the shards Inu-Yasha had just so he could create his own body. He knew we would die, he used us. THAT is why i seek out Naraku, oh, and for the jewel shards as well. I use to have 7 shards back then, but i was killed again, now, i dont know how, im back to living again, but only have 1 shard, but still feel as if i have 7." Bankotsu explained.
OOC: Wow, that was long.

"No time to discuss? But did he take this new mate before or after his resurrection?..."
Tsuzuki trailed off, a bored edge to her voice. She flipped her wild mane of white hair back behind her shoulders again, and stared Bankotsu right in the eye.
"Kitsune stronger than me? Humph. I don't know what foxes are like down here, but I would say you are a very poor judge of strength Mortal. And to call me scum...."
She held her hand to her forehead, making as if to faint
"Such crude language to use around a lady. Watch your mouth boy, mercenary are not I've still got demon power and a few hundred years of experience on my side. I don't honestly think you're stupid enough to think I'm younger just because I look it..."
Pink eyes rolled in annoyance as another cool breeze blew through the area
damn... I've got to stop doing that
"I could care less about you Inuyasha-"
This time she was coming closer to Bankotsu, circling around him while Yuki stayed put.
"But the jewel shards are what I'm after, and, well, if you have one, I'm afraid I'm going to have to kill you for it"
She gave him a sickeningly innocent looking smile, and stopped in front of him. Her Knuckles cracked again.
"Goodbye..."

That was actually a very good question, and one that Yuna was not sure that she would be able to answer. It wasn't as though she knew when Naraku had taken that female demon to be his mate. Actually, she wasn't even positively certain that he had. Lately it had extremely hard to verify any rumor, no matter how true or false it was. Perhaps she would have to have a talk with Naraku later to discuss his mate. Or maybe she should simply seek the woman out herself.
"I do not know when he took her," she said simply, unable to come up with anything else. The tone she used though, was one of boredom, so that she would not seem to be too interested in the whole matter. It would not do for either Tsuzuki, or Bankotsu to know that she was curious about this woman.
She watched with faint amusement as the female demon prepared herself for a fight. But would the mercenary fight her, she wondered. From the looks of him, he probably would. And from his history with the Band of Seven, she knew that he loved to fight, and to kill was even more glorious for him. These of course, were simply more rumors that she had heard long ago, but these she had confirmed by many a story. But even with his love for fighting, and the demon's obvious willingness to kill him, Yuna did not believe that there was a true reason for them to fight--not a good one anyway.
And so she mentally sighed. It seemed as though she would not be able to keep her nose out of this now--not if she wanted to leave any time in the next century. She took a step forward, holding her hands out to the sides as she stepped between the two of them. Now, now. There is no need for bloodshed--at least not now. You," she turned her head slightly toward Tsuzuki, "are weakened by the barrier on this mountain and are not at full strength. And you," she then turned to Bankotsu, "do not need shards. Humans have no use for the jewel, despite whatever you may believe. There is no need for either of you to fight the other." |
