Chapter 7:
The next morning:
Kitra woke up and rolled out of bed stretching a few minutes. she went into the kitchen and cooked breakfast.
Just as she was setting the food on the table the guys entered the kitchen.
Bankotsu smiled and walked up hugging Kitra as he greeted sleepily, "Morning Kit."
She smiled at him and hugged him back answering happily, "Morning Ban."
Darius walked in smiling and greeted, "Morning." Hugging Kitra he said, "Smells delicious, and thanks Kit."
Kitra hugged him back answering, "Anytime Dar, Now eat up guys!"
Everyone sat at the table and ate. Kitra stood up and collected then washed the dishes.
Just as Kitra finished the dishes Darius stood up looking at his roommates and said, " I’m off to the training grounds, you two coming?"
Kitra said excitedly, "You better believe it bro!" eyes shining with anticipation.
Bankotsu shrugged and said, "Sure why not," as he also stood up. The trio walked out the door. Arm in arm they walked towards the training grounds with Kitra in the middle.
AT the training grounds:
The trio arrived at the railing and Darius hopped over the railing, walking towards the middle of the training area. Kitra climbed up and sat on the railing in her favorite spot. She always enjoyed watching her brother as he sparred.
Bankotsu stood leaning casually on the fence beside Kitra, knowing Kou was bound to appear sooner or later.
Darius was looking around spotting Jumal walking over and said, "Hey Jumal, you wanna spar a bit?"
Jumal smiled as his eyes lit up as he said, "Sure!" A few minutes later Darius and Jumal began sparring.
Nenji walked up from behind Kitra and greeted, "Hey Kitra," with a smile, ignoring Bankotsu’s stern glare.
Kitra turned around and said, "Oh hi Nenji," then went back to watching the match.
Nenji looked at her and asked dryly, "So, enjoying the show?"
Kitra looked him in the eye and said seriously, "Don't I always?"
Nenji threw his head back and laughed and said, "Yeah you do!" Kitra threw her head back laughing musically then went back to watching her brother.
Bankotsu eyed Nenji a minute then decided to move closer protectively to Kitra.
Bankotsu moved over so he was standing directly behind Kitra and wrapped his warm arms around her tiny waist, pulling her against his chest, clearly warning the guy to back off.
Kitra gently placed her hand on Bankotsu's arm giving it a light squeeze in acknowledgement and leaned her head back against his shoulder smiling.
Nenji watched the two and when it was obvious Kitra wasn't gonna speak anymore, shook his head and sighed heavily, then walked over towards where the villagers were gathering instead.
Everyone watched intently as Darius and Jumal sparred a good twenty minutes longer.
Darius bested Jumal, then looked at his friend smiling and complimented, "You’re getting better Ju!"
Jumal grinned and said, "Thanks, maybe all this getting my butt kicked by you is paying off after all?" teasing his friend.
Darius smiled and said reassuringly "Sure seems like it to me." Jumal grinned wider then turned around and walked over towards Kitra.
Darius smiled as he looked around for another opponent and yelled, "Next?" Another guy came up and started practicing with Darius.
Jumal walked over beside Kitra and greeted, "Hey Kitra. Hey Bankotsu," nodding to them.
Kitra smiled at him and said, "Hey yourself, looks like you’re getting better."
Jumal laughed and said, "Thanks."
Bankotsu looked at his friend and said, "Hey Jumal. Didja have fun?"
Jumal laughed answering dryly, "Oh yeah! Having Darius kick my butt is the highlight of my day," eyes dancing with laughter. The three off them laughed merrily together, and went back to watching Darius practice.
After a while Kou's brother Kio who looks much like his brother only two years younger and had his straight black hair down to his shoulders worn down and wore a royal purple haori and black hakamas also with dark brown eyes, walked over looking at Kitra and said, "Hey Kitra."
Kitra sighed in annoyance and replied robotically, "Hi Kio." Kio and Bankotsu glared at each other a moment.
Kio turned back to Kitra and questioned, "Watching you brother again?"
Kitra nodded turning to face him and exclaimed, "Of course," as if it wasn’t obvious enough.
Kio nodded saying, "Be sure you stay and watch the next one, because I’m next!"
Kitra shook her head sadly and said, "I’ll gladly watch you get your ass handed to you by my brother."
Kio said dryly, "We shall see my sweet! We shall see!" amused by her blind faith in her brother.
Kitra rolled her eyes and said, "Indeed we shall." going back to watching Darius.
He defeated yet another opponent, grinned and yelled, "Next!"
Kio stepped in front of him and yelled, "I’ll take you on!"
Darius smiled and said amused, "By all means," mock bowing to the headman’s youngest.
Kio smiled at Kitra and said, "Watch me Kitra!" as he leered at her. Kitra rolled her eyes at him, feeling Bankotsu’s grip around her waist tighten a bit.
Darius looked at Kio and asked annoyed, "Are you gonna eye my sister or fight Kio?" seriously the headman’s offspring were beginning to annoy him.
Kio blew a kiss to Kitra, then faced Darius and yelled, "On guard!" Kitra shivered and focused on the feeling of Bankotsu’s warm arms around her while she watched the match.
Darius jumped into position and they started battling.
Jumal chuckled and mentioned, "Boy he is just as bad as his brother."
Kitra shivered in disgust and declared assuredly, "He’s even worse, he creeps me out even more than Kou."
Bankotsu tightened his hold protectively, leaning next to her ear and said soothingly, "Don't worry, I’ll protect you Kit!" his tone smooth and certain.
Kitra smiled, leaning further against him and said, "Thanks Ban!" happy to have him holding her.
Jumal smiled at them and said, "Okay well I'm outta here. You two kids have fun now," he teased seeing the obvious affection between them.
Kitra and Bankotsu laughed saying, "Bye Ju." They went back to watching the battle as it continued.
Kio saw Bankotsu and Kitra looking rather cozy and laughing together and began getting very angry. He knew his brother had already claimed her, but he wanted her too, and wasn’t one bit happy about her and Bankotsu’s closeness.
Darius noticed this and taunted, "Hey, are you gonna stare at my sister all day or are you gonna swing that sword?" thinking this boy was too much like his brother.
Kio glared at Kitra and Bankotsu and then at Darius. He clumsily lunged his sword at Darius. Darius blocked the attack, circling away and made his own move.
Kio, who had looked towards Bankotsu and Kitra again and seen them looking happy together, became furious. He was caught off guard by Darius and knocked flat onto his butt.
Darius held his sword to his throat standing tall and said, "Concede Kio." victory shinning in his virid eyes.
Kio glared daggers at him and said angrily, "Fine, I concede," not happy about losing. Darius nodded smiling and removed his sword.
Kitra laughed and said happily, "Way to go Dar!" The crowd, who had been cheering, clapped and roared with glee at the outcome.
Bankotsu released Kitra's waist, then hopped over the railing; turning around to lift her over it, and set her gently on her feet.
Kio stormed off both furious and embarrassed over the match and Kitra’s affection for Bankotsu.
As soon as her feet hit the ground Kitra ran over to Darius and flung herself into his open arms. Darius caught his sister and laughed at her exuberance.
She hugged him saying, "You were terrific as always Dar!"
Darius grinned, hugging her back and said, "Thanks Kit!" eyes dancing with happiness.
Bankotsu smiled at his best friend and said, "Once again you were great Dar!" slapping him on the back.
Darius said happily, "Thanks man!" grinning at his best friend. Darius laughed adding; "Now I’m hungry!"
Kitra laughed and said, "Come on then! I shall make you two an extra special surprise for lunch today." Darius and Bankotsu's faces instantly lit up, and they nodded eagerly. Kitra grinned and the trio walked off with their arms linked and Kitra in the middle again.
Back at the hut:
Kitra walked into the kitchen and made tons of her special homemade noodles by scratch. An hour later they were cooking in the water and spices in a black pot on the stove. She had already cleaned up her mess and put everything back away again.
Bankotsu had gone hunting for the meat Kitra requested and came back with four good sized rabbits. Darius had waited outside the cabin for Bankotsu to return.
After Bankotsu returned, Darius skinned the rabbits and handed them to Kitra. She cut them up and added them to the huge pot of homemade noodles.
She went to her garden on the side of the hut and collected some decent sized carrots and potatoes. She took them inside, washed and rinsed them, cut them up and added them to the pot.
Darius walked down to the hot springs to bathe. Bankotsu sat outside the hut relaxing against a tree. After Darius returned, Bankotsu walked over to and bathed in the hot springs and Darius relaxed against the tree.
By the time Bankotsu had returned from bathing the food was finished cooking. Kitra gathered the dishes and set the table and dished up the food. Darius saw her setting the table and stood up and walked inside.
He walked up behind her and complimented, "Wow Kit! You’ve out done yourself once again."
She smiled at her beloved brother and said, "Thanks Dar."
Bankotsu walked in, savoring the enticing aroma and grinned. Looking at his friend he decreed, "Man Kit I love your cooking!" rubbing his stomach as the tantalizing aroma filled the air.
Kitra pouted saying, "Just my cooking huh?" Darius and Bankotsu laughed heartily.
Bankotsu walked over, lightly pecking Kitra's cheek, saying, "Aw you know we love you Kit!"
She grinned and said, "Yeah I know, just like you both know I love you both." They guys smiled and nodded eyes shining with affection.
Everyone sat down at the table and began eating the bountiful meal. Everyone had a second bowl and the rest was stored away to be served later for supper.
After eating Kitra stood up and collected the dishes then walked outside over to wash them in the river. Afterwards the trio swam in the river and goofed off in the river a few hours.
They all got out and changed into dry clothes. Kitra gathered and went about hanging their wet ones out to dry.
She brought out and continued her sewing in the living area, while the guys polished their weapons. The trio sat in the living area and talked for hours enjoying the chance to spend time together.
At suppertime Kitra stood up gathering her things, then put them away and walked into the kitchen taking out the extra stew and heating it up.
After eating supper Kitra washed the dishes in the river. She announced she was going to go bathe in the hot springs.
Bankotsu and Darius waited for her to leave then followed after her. They sat against trees far enough away not to be spotted, but close enough to be able to protect her if needed.
Kitra stayed at the hot spring soaking for an hour, then bathed, washed her hair, got out, and dressed.
Once Darius and Bankotsu heard her walking up the path, they hastily returned to the hut to await her arrival. They sat in the living area and picked up their weapons, then began polishing them again.
Kitra walked in, shook her head and said, "You two sure like polishing your weapons, huh?" The guys just looked at her and shrugged.
Darius asked, "Enjoy your bath Kit?"
Kitra smiled answering, "Yup." Darius nodded.
She gave them each a hug and kiss that they returned, before she walked over to her room and closed the door. walking over she climbed into her bed.
Darius and Bankotsu collected their weapons and also turned in for the night.
