Chapter 5:
The next morning:
Kitra woke up and rolled out of bed. She stretched while walking into the kitchen and made breakfast, as was the usual routine.
Just as she was setting the food on the table, the guys entered the kitchen. Bankotsu yawned looking at her and greeted, "Morning, Kit."
Kitra smiled answering, "Morning, Ban,” as she took in his disheveled hair.
Darius hugged Kitra greeting happily, "Morning."
Kitra hugged him back replying, "Morning, eat up guys."
The trio sat down and ate breakfast together. Kitra stood and gathered their dishes to wash and dry them.
Darius and Bankotsu sat in the living area waiting for Kitra. Kitra walked into the living area, looking at them and instructed, "Alright, Ban, stand up and I’ll take measurements for your new outfit."
Bankotsu nodded, standing up and did everything she asked, as she took her measurements and wrote them down.
After thirty minutes Kitra looked at him and stated, "Okay, Ban, you’re done. Dar you’re next!" Darius smiled and stood up as she walked over to him. Darius did everything Kitra asked and she took her measurements writing them down.
After another thirty minutes, Kitra looked at her brother and said, "Okay Dar, we’re done." She noticed Bankotsu was still there and raised a brow questioningly at him. Bankotsu held her gaze and shrugged. Kitra looked from one to the other and informed them, "Okay, thanks guys, I’ll start on them in a day or two." The guys nodded and smiled.
Kitra gathered her things and carried them putting everything away in her room, then walked back into the living area. Darius smiled at her and mentioned, "Hey Kit, I’m heading over to the training grounds, you coming?"
Kitra laughed at her brother, eyes full of delight, and exclaimed, "Just try keeping me away!" They laughed and the two of them walked off towards the training grounds together. Needing to think, Bankotsu decided to go to the river alone.
On the way to the training grounds Kitra glanced at her brother and asked a bit apprehensively, "Hey, Dar, do you think that jerk Kou will be there again?"
Darius stopped and looked at her. He frowned and replied, "Probably, Kit, his dad is the headman. Plus, Kou seems to have a vendetta against me for some reason. Just stay on the railing like usual so I can keep an eye on you, alright?"
Kitra nodded and said, "You got it Dar," holding his gaze. She hugged him and he hugged her back, then they started walking again.
When they arrived at the training grounds, Kitra climbed on to the railing and sat down in her favorite spot. Darius looked into her eyes and said firmly, "No matter what happens, you stay right here, got it?"
Kitra nodded and kissed his cheek. He grinned and walked into the middle of the grounds. Jumal approached him and said, "Hey Darius, care to give it another go?"
Darius nodded answering, "You got it, Jumal." eyes full of joy. They began practicing and about ten minutes later, they began sparring for real. Kitra sat on the railing, cheering for Darius and smiling encouragingly for Jumal.
After Jumal and been bested, Nenji jumped up and said, "I’m next." Eager to test his skills.
Darius nodded at him and they began sparring. Again, Kitra cheered for her brother, and as was normal whenever Darius sparred, she looked around and noticed quite a crowd of onlookers had gathered to watch the show.
Jumal stood by Kitra and greeted her as he smiled at her, "Hey, Kitra, how are you today?"
Kitra smiled at him and said, "Hey, Jumal, I’m okay. You were great out there today."
Jumal smiled wider and said, "Thanks." Anytime he could last longer than a few minutes against Darius was improvement in his book. They talked and watched the show, both cheering for Darius. After a while, Nenji was defeated and another person took his place.
Nenji walked over to Kitra and greeted, "Hey Kitra," with a smile.
Kitra smiled at him and said, "Hey, Nenji, nice try."
He smiled wider and said, "Thanks." She nodded and turned back to watching her brother.
After a few more sessions, Darius announced he was taking a lunch break and the crowd groaned and dispersed. Darius, Kitra, and Jumal walked over to a stand to eat lunch, where Bankotsu showed up and joined them.
After lunch, Darius and the others just relaxed for an hour, talking. Darius stood up and announced he was going back to the training grounds and they all followed.
Darius lifted Kitra over the railing and she sat in her favorite spot again. Bankotsu sat on one side of her and Jumal the other. Darius walked back into the middle looking around and asked eagerly, "Who wants to spar?"
A new recruit decided to test his luck and stood in front of Darius. Darius nodded at him and they began sparring. Ten minutes later Darius had bested him and stood smiling. Looking around he said, "Next!?" Smiling at Bankotsu he questioned, "How about it, Ban?"
Having nothing better to do, Bankotsu shrugged and said, "Sure, why not?" grinning at his friend as he jumped off the railing.
Kitra reached out a hand and grabbed Bankotsu's shoulder. When he turned to look at her, she grinned kissing his cheek and whispered, "Good luck."
Feeling like he’d made the right decision, Bankotsu grinned his boyish grin and said, "Thanks," eyes shining with happiness and affection.
Nenji climbed up and sat where Bankotsu had been sitting. Kitra said proudly and loudly, "Now we will see a real sparring session. You just watch, these two are amazing together!" eyes filled with pride and love for both of the men in her life.
Jumal smiled and said excitedly, "No kidding!" He frowned and stated, "Bankotsu hardly ever does this though. I wonder why now?"
Kitra smiled and watched as they bowed to each other and began to spar. The crowd of onlookers grew enormous. Bankotsu and Darius continued to clash swords along with using some mighty fancy foot work and parrying maneuvers.
Both of their faces were flushed with excitement. They took turns blocking one another’s strikes. Both men were evenly matched and thoroughly enjoying every minute of their sparring.
Tao and Kou showed up ten minutes later, drawn by seeing such a big crowd and curious as to what was happening. Kou spotted Kitra and grinned. He walked up behind her and asked, "What's going on?"
Kitra rolled her eyes and said annoyed, "Dar and Ban are sparring, now watch and be quiet!" Kou looked a little taken back from her tone. Jumal and Nenji, who were accustomed to it, chuckled; Tao got wide eyes at her lack of showing respect. They all watched the duo spar for hours, neither giving an inch.
Bankotsu noticed the larger crowd and whispered, "Hey Dar, we got a real crowd here. How about we give them a real show?"
Darius's eyes lit up and he nodded. They both increased their speed and started showing off quite a bit for the crowd and thoroughly enjoying the battle. Kitra realized this and threw her head back laughing, then mumbled, "Show offs."
Jumal nodded and said, "It seems they’ve decided to put on a real show after all." excitement all over his features.
Kou, a bit envious, scowled and said, "I don't see what the big deal is about."
Kitra turned to glare at him and informed him, "It's because they are both the best! Now be quite and let us enjoy the show!" She turned back around and watched the show, enjoying every minute of it. Kou raised a brow at her insolence, and then sighed. He decided to have some fun himself and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
Kitra's eyes widened in shock and she instantly stiffened the minute she felt arms around her. Kou noticed this and leaned his face close to her ear, chuckling and whispered, "Get used to it, Kitra. You will be my woman soon enough. If I have to watch these dolts, then I’ll do so with my arms around you, my sweet."
Kitra's eyes narrowed in anger and she growled, "I am not your girl! Now release me, you oaf!" Instead Kou smirked and moved closer to her tightening his grip around her waist.
Darius and Bankotsu glanced at Kitra and noticed this at the same time. They both stormed angrily over to Kitra's area. Darius's eyes narrowed at Kou and he demanded, "Release my sister, now Kou!"
Bankotsu, who was standing right in front of Kitra, glared at Kou and forcibly removed his arms from Kitra's waist, intensely glaring at him the entire time.
Darius immediately reached out and yanked Kitra into his arms, then spun around and walked over to the middle of the grounds. He stared Kitra in the eyes and pointed to a box and ordered, "Sit there," while trying to calm his anger. She nodded, and sat down. Bankotsu stormed over to them. Kou glared furiously at the trio.
Bankotsu glared at Kitra and angrily demanded, "What was that all about, Kitra?"
Kitra glared back at him and said just as angrily, "That stupid ass thinks he owns me or something! I told him to release me and he only moved closer and tightened his hold!" her temper flaring in her eyes.
Darius sighed heavily, stared into her eyes and demanded dead seriously, "From now on Kitra, if he comes anywhere near you; you’re to yell for one of us immediately! Understood?"
Kitra nodded. Bankotsu seethed, "That arrogant prick! What makes him think he has any right to even look at her?" as he began pacing furiously.
Darius said angrily, "The fact that he is the headman's oldest!" He looked Bankotsu dead in the eye and demanded, "From now on, when she comes here one of us will stay at her side at all times!"
Bankotsu nodded and agreed vociferously, "You damn well better believe it!" neither of them were pleased with Kou’s bold move today.
Kitra glared at them both and seethed, "Don't you two dare blame this on me! That creep did this, not me!"
Darius sighed heavily and said, "I know that, Kit. But for your own safety, I don't want you anywhere without at least me or Ban at all times from now on! Got it?"
She lowered her head and nodded sadly. Bankotsu stopped pacing and reached out pulling her into a fierce hug and explained, "Kitra, we’re not punishing you! He’s a sick prick and there is no telling what he would do if he gets you alone."
She leaned into him for comfort and said, "Okay, I understand." Bankotsu released her.
Darius pulled her into a fiercer hug and informed her, "I absolutely refuse to let you be hurt while I can prevent it, Kit."
She hugged him back just as fiercely and said, "Thanks, Dar." The trio walked back over to the railing and Darius helped Kitra over the railing.
Jaw clenched as soon as he’d seen Bankotsu hugging ‘his’ Kitra, Kou yelled determinedly, "You two won't keep her from me forever! Once she’s of age for marriage she will be my wife! Father will see to that!"
Darius spun around and glared at him, snapping furiously, "Even so, until then you will not touch my sister again! As her only living male family member, I forbid it!"
Bankotsu turned to glare at him and seethed, "You had best stay away from her if you know what is good for you, Kou!" wanting to rip the little ass limb from limb already.
The trio stalked off out of the village and walked into the woods trying to calm down. Kou stood there and chuckled as he watched the trio leave in a huff.
Kou's POV
“Oh yes, Kitra my sweet, you’ll definitely be my wife, and neither of your ‘protectors’ will stop me! Father will enforce the marriage once you become of age, until then, I shall have to settle for continuing to show my affection for you.”
I stood there watching those jerks and my Kitra storming off towards the woods and chuckled at my thoughts.
Regular POV
Once Kitra and the guys were out of sight Kou turned around and walked back toward the villa.
