Chapter 12:
The next day:
Darius awoke, gathered his stuff and left a couple hours before sunrise. Kitra was still sound asleep. Bankotsu got up and waved Darius off, then climbed back in bed.
Later that morning:
Kitra woke up, rolled out of bed and stretched. She walked into the kitchen and cooked breakfast. Just as she was setting the food on the table, Bankotsu walked in and greeted, "Morning, Kit, it sure smells good."
She smiled replying, "Morning, Ban, thanks. Now eat up."
They sat down at the table and ate breakfast together. Bankotsu looked at his friend and asked, "So, what would you like to do today?"
Kitra smiled answering, "I'm not really sure, maybe another walk?"
Bankotsu smiling nodded and suggested, "Okay then, after breakfast we can go."
Kitra smiled and they finished eating. She stood up and collected the dishes, then carried them over to the sink and washed them. She walked back over to Bankotsu and they went for a walk.
She asked, "So how long will Darius be gone for this time?"
Bankotsu answered, "He should be back the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Kitra nodded and questioned, "And how long before you are sent out again?"
Bankotsu sighed and answered, "The day after Darius returns."
Kitra sighed stating, "Oh well, at least we’ll all have one day together again." Bankotsu nodded his agreement.
They continued walking until they came to the river. They sat beside the river and enjoyed the serenity and the scenery for a while. They gazed at the multitude of trees and flowers. The flowers were various varieties and colors.
After a while, Kitra looked at her friend and queried, "Hey Ban, do you think you could maybe show me how to use my katana?"
Bankotsu answered, "I suppose I could show you a little bit later today, but I know Darius wants to do the actual teaching."
Kitra smiled and agreed, "Okay." Glad to be able to have him teach her even just a little bit today.
Bankotsu asked curiously, "So how are we doing on meat?"
Kitra answered, "Well actually, tomorrow will be the last of it. Why?"
Bankotsu stated, "I guess I need to go hunting tomorrow then, huh?" She nodded.
Bankotsu smiled and suggested, "Okay then, how about we head back to the hut for now?"
She smiled nodding. Bankotsu stood up, holding out a hand. Kitra placed her hand in his and he helped her to her feet. They walked back towards their hut in silence.
Once they arrived at their hut, Kitra walked inside and pulled out her training sticks. She walked over to Bankotsu and requested, "Now Ban, please?"
He chuckled and answered, "Alright, Kit." instructing, "Come over here and stand in front of me." She smiled and did as told.
He showed her how to hold the sticks correctly and instructed, "Okay, today I’m going to teach you a new pattern. It is called the flower pattern." She eagerly nodded and he readied his sticks.
"Okay start with both sticks on your right side," he commanded, and showed her with his own sticks.
Kitra did as told. Bankotsu switched his to the left side, then instructed very clearly, "Swing the bottom one first, hit my stick with it, then swing it behind your head and end by making it the top one on the left side, okay?"
Kitra nodded and proceeded to do as she had been told. He nodded and continued, "Good, now do the same with the top right; hit my other stick, swing it behind your head, then make it the bottom left." She nodded and did as told again. He said, "Good, now do the same from left to right." and she did.
He smiled and suggested, "Good now we’ll repeat, right to left and left to right several times, and make certain you strike my sticks each time, okay?" She nodded and did as told.
They repeated this thirty times each side. Bankotsu smiled and announced, "Good! That's enough for today. Tomorrow, we’ll try speeding it up a little bit!" pleased with how well she was coming along.
Kitra nodded and left to put her sticks away. Bankotsu also put his sticks away. Kitra pulled out the cooking pot and started a stew.
While the stew was finishing, she explained, "Ban, I need you to try on your new outfit and make sure it fits right, okay?"
He nodded and agreed, "Okay, go get it."
She nodded, went into her room, collecting the outfit, brought it out and handed it to him. He took the outfit, went into his room, took off his sword and armor, and then changed into his new outfit.
He walked into the living area and said, "Well, the shoulders are a bit loose, other than that-"
Kitra cut him off saying, "Okay lemme see..." She adjusted the material a bit and asked, "There, is that better?"
He answered, "Yeah, but if you could tighten it just a bit more..."
She tightened it more and queried, "How's that?" smiling at him.
He smiled and answered, "Great!"
She explained, "Okay, it's a bit bigger so you’ll still have room to grow, also this is stretchy as well; so as you grow it should still fit, for a few years at least. I mean you’re already pretty muscular and the sleeves are loose but they have a band on the end. So just in case you roll them up they will still fit snug. It's made to move with you." tapping his shoulders, the chest, and sleeves as she explained each area.
Bankotsu grinned and stated, "Perfect! I like the way you think ahead Kit, always preparing for almost anything."
Kitra smiled and replied, "Thanks. I’m just glad it fits!"
He smiled. "You did an incredible job as always," he complimented her and hugged her.
She hugged him back smiling and said, "Thank you!" She handed him a blue, a white and a red obi to go along with his new hakamas, and haoris, and ordered, "Now don't lose these, okay?"
He smiled and said, "Okay and thanks again, Kit!"
She smiled and replied, "You're welcome, Ban."
He put the obis with his spare clothes, and then put his armor and sword back on. After making the same adjustments to the second set, Kitra handed him a spare set as well and added, "Try not to lose the spare set, okay?" Bankotsu smiled nodding and put it away.
They spent the rest of the day light swimming in the river and playing tag outside the hut. Just before dark Kitra made supper. They ate and she did the dishes, then they went inside together just as the sun finished setting. Inside they sat in the living area talking while he polished his sword and she finished sewing her kimono. After an hour they both began yawning.
Bankotsu suggested, "Okay time for bed, Kit."
She nodded hugging him, and kissed his cheek saying, "Night, Ban."
He hugged her back, kissing the top of her head and said, "Night, Kit. They both collected their belongings and turned in for the night.
The next morning:
Kitra made breakfast and set it on the table just as Bankotsu came into the kitchen. She greeted happily, "Morning, Ban."
Bankotsu yawned and replied, "Morning, Kit." They sat down and ate breakfast together.
Bankotsu asked, "How would you like to visit Lissa a bit today?"
Kitra answered excitedly, "Really? That would be awesome!"
He chuckled and stated, "After breakfast, we’ll go to the training grounds for a bit and later today, if Jumal agrees you can visit with Lissa." Kitra nodded enthusiastically.
They finished eating and she did the dishes. They walked towards the training grounds together.
At the training grounds:
Bankotsu and Kitra walked towards the training grounds. Jumal was there sparring with one of the new recruits.
Bankotsu lifted Kitra up and sat her in her favorite spot, then climbed up and sat beside her. She began cheering for Jumal, who saw them and waved then went back to sparring again.
After Jumal defeated his opponent and two others, he decided to take a break for a bit.
He hollered to Bankotsu and Kitra and waved them over. Bankotsu nodded, jumping down and helped Kitra down, and then they walked over towards Jumal holding hands.
Kitra only had eyes for Bankotsu and was more than aware he was holding her hand, she smiled. Bankotsu pretended not to notice all the stares they were getting, after all she was like his sister.
Smiling Jumal greeted, "Hey you two, did you enjoy the show?"
Kitra smiled at him answering proudly, "Yeah! You did awesome!"
Jumal laughed and replied, "Thanks, I’m glad you had fun!"
Bankotsu said, "Hey Ju, I gotta go hunting today and can't take Kit with me. Dar is still gone on orders. Would it be okay for Kit to visit with you and Lissa for a while?"
Jumal nodded and answered, "Sure, Lissa would love a chance to spend some time with Kit again." smiling at one of his closest friends.
Bankotsu asked, "Are you sure you don't mind?" wanting to make sure.
Jumal answered seriously, "Absolutely," knowing his sister would love a visit with her friend.
Bankotsu nodded and said, "Thanks, man!" grateful Kitra would be safe.
Jumal nodded and replied, "Any time, man!" The trio went and had lunch together.
Afterwards Bankotsu faced his younger friend and said, "Now behave and have fun, okay Kit! I’ll be back in a couple hours at the most."
Smiling Kitra nodded and replied, "I will, and you be careful, Ban!"
He nodded assuring her, "I will, see you in a bit!" and with that he took off to go hunting.
Jumal smiled and suggested, "Okay, Kit, let's go surprise Lissa!" eyes twinkling with laughter.
Kitra smiled and nodded, as they walked over to Jumal's hut.
Grinning Jumal yelled, "Lissa, you have company!" waiting for his sister to appear.
She ran out and excitedly asked, "Who?" looking around. Jumal grinned.
"Hey, Lissa!" Kitra greeted with a huge grin on her warm face.
Lissa squealed in delight and ran up to hug her friend. The girls hugged each other as Lissa stated, "Kitra, This is awesome!"
Kitra laughing agreed, "Yeah!" as they held hands.
Jumal smiled, shaking his head and questioned, "Okay you two, so what do you want to do first?"
Lissa looked at her brother answering, "First, we’re gonna go get caught up on girl talk in my room! Later though, we’ll need to get some groceries, Ju."
Jumal nodded and said, "Okay you two have fun; I’m going to sit here and polish my weapon a while."
The girls rolled their eyes, and shook their heads. Kitra asked, "What is it with polishing the weapons?"
Lissa answered, "No idea. Come on, let's go." Kitra nodded and they walked into Lissa's room together.
With Lissa and Kitra:
They sat on Lissa’s bed and Kitra questioned, "Okay, so what have I missed lately?"
Lissa answered, "Well, the headman's sons are being pains as always."
Kitra snorted and retorted, "What else is new? Mainly Kou is the one that harasses me, but Kio has started to as well now."
Lissa agreed heatedly, "Yeah, Kio is a real pain in the butt!"
Catching the bitterness in her friend’s voice, Kitra asked, "Did something happen, Lissa?"
Lissa sighed heavily and answered, "Lately, when the girls and I are in town he corners me and starts trying to feel me up."
Kitra growled and demanded, "Have you told Ju?" fearing for her friend’s safety.
Lissa gasped answering, "No, and you gotta promise me you won't either! Jumal would be so pissed! I... I don't want my brother getting into trouble..." concern her eyes.
Kitra sighed heavily and said sadly, "I know what you mean. The other night, Dar, Ban, and I were camping and I went to bathe in a nearby hot springs... Kou the ass showed up and started making comments and stuff. “
Taking a deep breath and scowling she explained, “I was in the spring naked for Kami's sake and the ass just had to show up and start some shit! He chuckled and reached out for me, but I moved away from him.”
Shuddering she finished, “Kou moved to pull me to him... but luckily for me Ban had followed me that night and just before Kou grabbed me, he showed up and yanked his hand away and started yelling at him. He was pretty pissed off too."
Lissa stared wide eyed at her friend and choked, "He... He saw you?!" disbelief on her face.
Kitra mumbled, "I know Kou did, I don't know if Ban saw or not... it was so embarrassing!" hands covering her hot cheeks.
Lissa grinned and stated, "He saw you. I mean he must have! You said you were naked, and he saw you naked!" teasing her friend about her crush.
Annoyed, Kitra retorted, "Whatever... anyway, what I was getting to is, I was so damn mad by the time they left so I could dress, I walked up and punched Kou right in his smug face! That stupid creep, then I slapped both their faces and stormed off!"
Grinning like a Cheshire cat, Lissa said smugly, "So Bankotsu saw you naked, huh?"
Kitra blushed and mumbled, "Never mind," her cheeks brightening, not wanting to think about it.
Lissa smiled and stated, "I'm sorry Kit, I was just teasing. I mean it's so obvious you are still crushing on the guy, and he actually saw you naked!"
Kitra snapped, annoyed, "Yeah, but so did the one idiot I really didn’t need to as well!"
Realizing her friend was right, Lissa hugged her and soothed, "It’ll be okay"
Kitra said, "Maybe..." trying to change the subject, she asked, "Anyway, what have I missed?"
Lissa sighed and answered, "Other than Kio being an ass to me, Asa is now being courted by Tao, the new recruit."
"Asa huh, I bet she’s happy!" Kitra replied, smiling.
Lissa smiled and answered happily, "Yeah, so is her mom!"
Kitra laughed and said, "I bet! Your aunt must be thrilled that her daughter is being courted, and by Kou's newest recruit! They must both be thrilled!"
Lissa nodded and suggested, "Yeah they are! Okay, time to get my brother and see if we can go to the market." Kitra nodded and they both got up and walked outside.
Lissa queried, "Hey, Ju, ready to go to the market yet?"
Jumal sighed and said, "Alright, let's go and get this over with. I want us back home before dark." He hated going for groceries. The girls nodded. The trio walked off to the market.
At the market:
The trio arrived and Jumal asked, "Okay girls, now what do we need?"
Lissa answered, "Fresh vegetables, flour, rice, and fresh fruits."
Wanting to get done quickly, Jumal groaned and suggested, "Alright, you girls go get the vegetables and fruits. I’ll get the rice and flour." He handed Lissa some money and left to get the flour and rice.
Lissa and Kitra walked with their arms linked over towards the vegetables. They grabbed a bunch of carrots, radishes, some potatoes, and some corn on the cob. They paid for the stuff and walked over to the fruits to get some bananas, apples, oranges, and tomatoes. Again they paid for their stuff and left to meet Jumal.
On the way to meet Jumal, Lissa spotted her newer friends and waved them over. Lissa introduced them. "Hey girls, this is Kitra. Kitra, this is Sheila, Tawny, and Kari."
"Hello, nice to meet you," Kitra greeted with a friendly smile.
Tawny was rather tall and her face too skinny. She also had shoulder-length straight black hair that fanned around her face; it fell across her shoulders and brown eyes. She said, "So you’re the one I’ve heard so much about- the one who lives with Bankotsu?"
Kitra nodded and answered, "Yeah, Bankotsu lives with me and my brother Darius. They’re best friends."
Kari was slender and short. She also has shoulder-length straight black hair that was in a top knot ponytail and a beautiful rounded face. She snapped bitterly, "You’re also the one whom my Kou is always going on and on about!"
Shocked Kitra exclaimed, "Ugh! Gag me, please! You actually like that asshole?!"
Kari narrowed her eyes. "Watch your mouth you little bitch!" she hissed angrily.
Kitra laughed and stated amused, "Obviously you have no idea what I’m really like! If you did, you wouldn't be trying to start a fight with me." Knowing she could easily kick any girl’s and some guys asses if she chose to.
Shocked at her new friend’s attitude, Lissa hissed, "Kari, be nice! It isn't her fault that Kou is so obsessed with her!"
Having witnessed herself their public displays, Tawny demanded, "So what's the deal with you and Bankotsu?" needing to get it straight before she bloodied the bitch.
Kitra smiled and answered happily, "He’s me and my brother's best friend!" honesty in her eyes. She was trying hard for Lissa’s sake to play nice.
Sheila was tall but a little plump. She also had shoulder length-wavy black hair rand deep brown eyes and her face is pretty but not beautiful. She mentioned dreamily, "He sure is sexy!"
Kitra mumbled, "Yeah," mentally rolling her eyes and thinking about how Bankotsu’s fan club was still growing.
Kari got in Kitra's face and ordered angrily, "Whatever, Just stay away from Kou, he’s mine!" sheer possessiveness in her tone.
Having about had all she was gonna tolerate from these wenches, Kitra snorted and retorted, "By all means take the ass! Just make sure he stays away from me!"
Stupid enough not to back off after the clear warning in Kitra’s voice, Kari viciously bitch slapped her. Lissa gasped and her eyes went wide ad Kitra narrowed her eyes and quickly punched Kari.
"You stupid whore!" Kari snarled, and tackled Kitra. Kitra started beating Kari off of her and threw her backwards. Pissed about Bankotsu’s attentions on Kitra, Tawny jumped on Kitra's back and started yanking her hair.
Frightened Lissa yelled, "Stop it!" trying to pull the girls off her best friend, while Kitra was busy kicking both of their asses.
Jumal ran over, yanking Tawny off of Kitra, and demanded vociferously, "All of you go home- now!"
Enraged Kari tackled Kitra again. Kitra fought back again and punched Kari in the stomach, yelling, "Get off me, you crazy bitch!" feeling her temper continue to rise.
Tao who looked much like Nenji brown hair in a bob tail, brown eyes only a couple years younger and was wearing dark purple hakamas and a lighter purple haori and was Kou's newest recruit, Nenji who is Kou's best friend and same age and was also Tao's cousin with his brown hair in a bob tail, brown eyes and wore maroon hakamas and a light purple haori, Kou, and Kio showed up and yanked the fighting girls apart.
Kitra's eyes narrowed at Tao and she hissed venomously, "Release me!"
Surprised to have found her in town, and without her bodyguards, Kou commanded, "Release her Tao! I’ll handle her personally."
Tao nodded and released his hold on Kitra. Kou looked at ‘his girl’ and demanded, "What the hell is going on here! Kitra, what are you doing here?"
Kitra glared at Kari hissing. "I was here with Lissa and Jumal. That crazy bitch attacked me!" pointed at Kari, nostrils flaring as she tried to control her fearsome temper..
"I was teaching that little slut a lesson," Kari yelled and pointed at Kitra glaring hatefully at her.
Kou backhanded Kari and growled, eyes furious, "Don't you ever speak about my future wife like that again bitch!"
Watching the display, Kitra shook her head sadly.
Thunderstruck Kari said, "B... But I’m gonna be your wife."
Kou scoffed and informed her dead seriously, "I will never marry a pathetic little whore like you!"
Kari gasped and crying, said, "B... But Kou..."
Kou glared at her and continued icily, "Kitra is the one I’m going to marry! Now leave my sight before I have you locked up for daring to attack my Kitra!"
"Your little bitch started it!" Tawny hissed, eyes filled with hatred, and body brimming with intense jealousy.
Kou glared and Lissa yelled, "No, they started it! Kitra and I were just getting groceries!" having finally found her voice.
Kio glared at Tawny and Sheila and ordered, "Leave!" He roared, "Now," glaring at the troublesome girls.
Facing them, Jumal added, "When I showed up two of those three were already on Kitra."
Kou nodded adding, "Thanks for looking after Kitra for me," staring at Jumal.
Kitra glared and snapped, "He was doing it for Ban, not you!"
Kou smirked and questioned, "And just where is Bankotsu, anyway?" amusement in his eyes.
Kitra glared and snapped, "None of your damn business!" knowing he was bound to try something soon.
Kou chuckled and said, "Kitra, Kitra, Kitra. What shall I do about your little fight here, hm?" mischief in his eyes as he continued staring at her.
She hissed vehemently, "I didn't do nothing but defend myself, you ass!"
Kou chuckled amused, and stated seriously, "Such fire! Well no matter, the fact is you were still fighting... Now what should I do about it?"
She narrowed her eyes angrily at him. He smirked and suggested smugly, "I know, Kitra, you come over here and give me a kiss and I’ll just forget all about your little fight."
Kitra glared and roared angrily, "No way in hell!"
Tao laughed and teased, "Gee Kou, looks like your 'girlfriend' can't stand you!" Kou glared daggers at him and Tao instantly sobered up and gulped nervously. Kitra snorted and gave a look of ‘no shit, Sherlock’
Kou advanced towards Kitra, but Jumal stood in front of her protectively and said, "Okay guys, enough."
Kou glared at him and warned, "This is between myself and Kitra. Do not get involved in this, Jumal!"
Jumal replied seriously, "I won't let you guys hurt her!" staring down the other male.
Annoyed Kou ordered, "Hold him down, boys!"
Tao, Nenji, and Kio all jumped on Jumal and held him down while Kou started punching him.
"Stop it, you assholes! Leave him alone!" Kitra yelled while trying to yank Kou off of Jumal.
Kou grabbed Kitra straightening up, and stated, "Fine, I’ll stop for now, but you owe me a kiss." Kitra adamantly refused.
Kou nodded and Tao kicked Jumal in the head, knocking him out cold. Kitra cried frantically, "Stop it!" Lissa looked at Kitra with eyes full of fear.
Kitra faced her nemesis and barked, "Kou, make them stop!" stomping her foot angrily.
Kou smirked and replied smugly, "Only if you give me a kiss afterwards!"
Kitra glared at him, and looked at Jumal and back at Kou. Sighing heavily she reluctantly agreed, "One kiss and one kiss only- now make them stop!"
Kou grinned victoriously and ordered, "Stop now!"
Kitra mumbled, "Thank you." as the guys stopped kicking her unconscious friend.
Kou grinned and said smugly, "Now about that kiss?" looking at her expectantly.
Kitra sighed and kissed his cheek; he turned his head and captured her bottom lip between his teeth. She opened her mouth to yell at him and he shoved his tongue in her mouth. She bit down and he yanked his tongue out glaring at her. She shoved him away, and ran over falling to her knees beside Jumal who was still knocked out.
Lissa sobbed filled with worry for her brother. Kio grabbed Lissa and she screamed. Kitra saw Lissa was in trouble and ordered angrily, "Take your hands off her, you bastard!" running over to him and shoving him away from Lissa. She shoved Lissa over to Jumal and commanded, "Get your brother and get out of here- now!"
Lissa nodded and slowly began dragging her brother away, tears in her eyes. Kitra spun around glaring at the guys and snapped, "It takes some real guts to pick on a damn child, you filthy cowards!" damn near completely enraged.
Warning: Attempted rape Scene!!
"That's it! I’ve had enough of your attitude, bitch! Now you’ll learn your place!" Kou snapped angrily, as he angrily stalked towards Kitra.
She glared at him and seethed, "You’re all nothing but cowards and bullies!" glaring disdainfully at him.
Kou grabbed her and slammed her hard against a wall. She gasped in pain. Kou got right in her face and stated, "Bitch, I’m gonna teach you to respect me like you should!" She disrespectfully spat in his face.
He narrowed his eyes and angrily back handed her. He threw her to the ground and ordered, "Hold her down, boys!"
Nenji and Tao held her down and Kou stood over her seething; "Now you will learn your lesson! No one ever gets away with defying me repetitively, you little bitch!" He straddled her hips and ripped open her shirt.
Kitra began bucking wildly trying to throw him off of her, or at least to free her hands or feet, but she was struggling in vain. She had tears streaming down her face. Kou said in a voice full of regret, "You just had to keep pushing me, didn't you?" staring down at the weeping girl beneath him.
Kitra spat at him again. He back handed her, then went to rip open her pants as well.
Kitra's POV:
“Fucking bastards- get off me! Ban, I hope like hell you get here soon!” I continued trying to fight them off, using my anger to fuel my struggles, but they had me trapped.
Warning: End attempted rape scene!!
Regular POV:
Bankotsu had been heading to Jumal’s when he heard Kitra’s screams and tore off into the direction they were coming from. He came running around the corner and kicked Nenji in the head, knocking him out cold then kicked him aside breaking some ribs.
Feeling her hands freed, Kitra instantly started beating her fists against anything she could hit yelling, "Get off me, you fucking psychos!"
Bankotsu kicked Tao in the ribs and punched his face knocking him out cold. He then angrily ripped Kou off of Kitra and started punching the hell out of him.
Kio tackled Bankotsu and they started rolling around throwing punches at each other.
Kitra got up and closed her clothes, then wrapped her arms around herself and started crying. Bankotsu knelt in front of her and gathered the crying Kitra into his arms. She hugged his neck and cried with her head buried in his chest.
Bankotsu picked her up and stormed towards Jumal's hut. Lissa answered the pounding door. "What happened!?" she yelled, concern written across her features.
Bankotsu demanded angrily, "Where is Jumal?" eyes flashing with fury like a building storm.
Lissa lead him into the bedroom and showed him Jumal, who was bruised and still bleeding. He had just woken up and looked at his friend and asked, "How is she?"
Bankotsu answered angrily, "Scared as fucking hell! Those fuckers were trying to rape her," gritting his teeth.
Jumal shook his head sadly and said, "I tried to stop them."
Bankotsu demanded, "What the fuck was she doing there to begin with!?"
Lissa answered in a voice filled with sadness, "We were grocery shopping, then my ‘friends’ showed up and started a fight. Kou and the guys showed up... Kitra, she kept Kio from attacking me..." staring into his eyes, before staring at her quaking friend who was held protectively against his chest.
Bankotsu seethed, "This is the last fucking straw! As soon as Darius gets back, we’re leaving and I’m going to kill that fucker myself!" With that Bankotsu carried Kitra home.
Back at the hut:
Bankotsu set Kitra on her feet and demanded, "What happed to your face, Kitra?" staring at the swelling cheek and busted lip.
Kitra answered flatly, "He backhanded me, twice." She looked him dead in the eyes and said, "Thank you, for saving me from..."
Bankotsu nodded and said, "You're welcome," gently wiping the blood away from her swollen lip. She winced and he scowled.
Kitra cried in his arms until she fell asleep. Bankotsu stayed up all night holding Kitra and trying to soothe her. When she finally fell asleep, he sat there holding her and thinking.
Bankotsu's POV:
“When Darius gets back we’re getting the fuck out of here! That is the last fucking straw! If those bastards aren't dead yet, they fucking will be when I’m finished!” I clenched my fist, trying to control my temper so I could stay beside Kitra in case she woke up scared.
Regular POV:
The look on Bankotsu's face and in his eyes was simply murderous.
With Kou at the Headman's villa:
Pacing as he held his bruising jaw, Kou demanded angrily, "I don't care, father- I want that bastard gone! I want him permanently banned from this village and everyone in it- especially my Kitra! Do it, or so help me I’ll take Kitra, leave this fucking village and you’ll have no choice but to make Kio your heir! Is that really what you want, father?"
The headman sighed heavily and countered, "Very well, tomorrow he will be dealt with! But in return, I will have your word that afterwards you’ll stay and become the headman once you become of age!" glaring at his headstrong heir.
Kou nodded and agreed, "Do it," Then stormed off into his bedroom and slammed the door shut. The headman sighed heavily and shook his head. He knew damn well the repercussions of what he was going to do tomorrow and only hoped Darius wouldn’t be such a difficult subject.
Kou's POV:
Still seething, I sunk onto my bed. “Stupid Bankotsu, always showing up where he isn't wanted, I’d have had her twice by now if you hadn’t kept interfering! This will fix your sorry ass once and for good! Kitra you little bitch, I’m still gonna get you, and when I do, you’re gonna learn the hard way to respect me! But for now I’ll have to settle for dealing with that fucking Bankotsu! Once his ass is gone, then your ass will be mine!”
I laid there for hours thinking about my Kitra, and how I was finally gonna get rid of that bastard Bankotsu! “Once he’s gone, I’ll make Kitra mine and force her and her brother's cooperation! Also, I’ll hire an assassin to track down and kill that Bankotsu and make sure he doesn't come back!”
Thinking smugly, “That's what you get for interfering with me and my Kitra!” I smiled to myself. “Finally, Things are going to start going my way. Everything is finally falling into place.”
Author's Note: Okay guys and gals there is chapter twelve please remember to read and review thanks.
Most importantly I would like to give a BIG shout out and HUGE thanks to my beta Frog Lady! :)
Chapter 12:
The next day:
Darius awoke, gathered his stuff and left a couple hours before sunrise. Kitra was still sound asleep. Bankotsu got up and waved Darius off, then climbed back in bed.
Later that morning:
Kitra woke up, rolled out of bed and stretched. She walked into the kitchen and cooked breakfast. Just as she was setting the food on the table, Bankotsu walked in and greeted, "Morning, Kit, it sure smells good."
She smiled replying, "Morning, Ban, thanks. Now eat up."
They sat down at the table and ate breakfast together. Bankotsu looked at his friend and asked, "So, what would you like to do today?"
Kitra smiled answering, "I'm not really sure, maybe another walk?"
Bankotsu smiling nodded and suggested, "Okay then, after breakfast we can go."
Kitra smiled and they finished eating. She stood up and collected the dishes, then carried them over to the sink and washed them. She walked back over to Bankotsu and they went for a walk.
She asked, "So how long will Darius be gone for this time?"
Bankotsu answered, "He should be back the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Kitra nodded and questioned, "And how long before you are sent out again?"
Bankotsu sighed and answered, "The day after Darius returns."
Kitra sighed stating, "Oh well, at least we’ll all have one day together again." Bankotsu nodded his agreement.
They continued walking until they came to the river. They sat beside the river and enjoyed the serenity and the scenery for a while. They gazed at the multitude of trees and flowers. The flowers were various varieties and colors.
After a while, Kitra looked at her friend and queried, "Hey Ban, do you think you could maybe show me how to use my katana?"
Bankotsu answered, "I suppose I could show you a little bit later today, but I know Darius wants to do the actual teaching."
Kitra smiled and agreed, "Okay." Glad to be able to have him teach her even just a little bit today.
Bankotsu asked curiously, "So how are we doing on meat?"
Kitra answered, "Well actually, tomorrow will be the last of it. Why?"
Bankotsu stated, "I guess I need to go hunting tomorrow then, huh?" She nodded.
Bankotsu smiled and suggested, "Okay then, how about we head back to the hut for now?"
She smiled nodding. Bankotsu stood up, holding out a hand. Kitra placed her hand in his and he helped her to her feet. They walked back towards their hut in silence.
Once they arrived at their hut, Kitra walked inside and pulled out her training sticks. She walked over to Bankotsu and requested, "Now Ban, please?"
He chuckled and answered, "Alright, Kit." instructing, "Come over here and stand in front of me." She smiled and did as told.
He showed her how to hold the sticks correctly and instructed, "Okay, today I’m going to teach you a new pattern. It is called the flower pattern." She eagerly nodded and he readied his sticks.
"Okay start with both sticks on your right side," he commanded, and showed her with his own sticks.
Kitra did as told. Bankotsu switched his to the left side, then instructed very clearly, "Swing the bottom one first, hit my stick with it, then swing it behind your head and end by making it the top one on the left side, okay?"
Kitra nodded and proceeded to do as she had been told. He nodded and continued, "Good, now do the same with the top right; hit my other stick, swing it behind your head, then make it the bottom left." She nodded and did as told again. He said, "Good, now do the same from left to right." and she did.
He smiled and suggested, "Good now we’ll repeat, right to left and left to right several times, and make certain you strike my sticks each time, okay?" She nodded and did as told.
They repeated this thirty times each side. Bankotsu smiled and announced, "Good! That's enough for today. Tomorrow, we’ll try speeding it up a little bit!" pleased with how well she was coming along.
Kitra nodded and left to put her sticks away. Bankotsu also put his sticks away. Kitra pulled out the cooking pot and started a stew.
While the stew was finishing, she explained, "Ban, I need you to try on your new outfit and make sure it fits right, okay?"
He nodded and agreed, "Okay, go get it."
She nodded, went into her room, collecting the outfit, brought it out and handed it to him. He took the outfit, went into his room, took off his sword and armor, and then changed into his new outfit.
He walked into the living area and said, "Well, the shoulders are a bit loose, other than that-"
Kitra cut him off saying, "Okay lemme see..." She adjusted the material a bit and asked, "There, is that better?"
He answered, "Yeah, but if you could tighten it just a bit more..."
She tightened it more and queried, "How's that?" smiling at him.
He smiled and answered, "Great!"
She explained, "Okay, it's a bit bigger so you’ll still have room to grow, also this is stretchy as well; so as you grow it should still fit, for a few years at least. I mean you’re already pretty muscular and the sleeves are loose but they have a band on the end. So just in case you roll them up they will still fit snug. It's made to move with you." tapping his shoulders, the chest, and sleeves as she explained each area.
Bankotsu grinned and stated, "Perfect! I like the way you think ahead Kit, always preparing for almost anything."
Kitra smiled and replied, "Thanks. I’m just glad it fits!"
He smiled. "You did an incredible job as always," he complimented her and hugged her.
She hugged him back smiling and said, "Thank you!" She handed him a blue, a white and a red obi to go along with his new hakamas, and haoris, and ordered, "Now don't lose these, okay?"
He smiled and said, "Okay and thanks again, Kit!"
She smiled and replied, "You're welcome, Ban."
He put the obis with his spare clothes, and then put his armor and sword back on. After making the same adjustments to the second set, Kitra handed him a spare set as well and added, "Try not to lose the spare set, okay?" Bankotsu smiled nodding and put it away.
They spent the rest of the day light swimming in the river and playing tag outside the hut. Just before dark Kitra made supper. They ate and she did the dishes, then they went inside together just as the sun finished setting. Inside they sat in the living area talking while he polished his sword and she finished sewing her kimono. After an hour they both began yawning.
Bankotsu suggested, "Okay time for bed, Kit."
She nodded hugging him, and kissed his cheek saying, "Night, Ban."
He hugged her back, kissing the top of her head and said, "Night, Kit. They both collected their belongings and turned in for the night.
The next morning:
Kitra made breakfast and set it on the table just as Bankotsu came into the kitchen. She greeted happily, "Morning, Ban."
Bankotsu yawned and replied, "Morning, Kit." They sat down and ate breakfast together.
Bankotsu asked, "How would you like to visit Lissa a bit today?"
Kitra answered excitedly, "Really? That would be awesome!"
He chuckled and stated, "After breakfast, we’ll go to the training grounds for a bit and later today, if Jumal agrees you can visit with Lissa." Kitra nodded enthusiastically.
They finished eating and she did the dishes. They walked towards the training grounds together.
At the training grounds:
Bankotsu and Kitra walked towards the training grounds. Jumal was there sparring with one of the new recruits.
Bankotsu lifted Kitra up and sat her in her favorite spot, then climbed up and sat beside her. She began cheering for Jumal, who saw them and waved then went back to sparring again.
After Jumal defeated his opponent and two others, he decided to take a break for a bit.
He hollered to Bankotsu and Kitra and waved them over. Bankotsu nodded, jumping down and helped Kitra down, and then they walked over towards Jumal holding hands.
Kitra only had eyes for Bankotsu and was more than aware he was holding her hand, she smiled. Bankotsu pretended not to notice all the stares they were getting, after all she was like his sister.
Smiling Jumal greeted, "Hey you two, did you enjoy the show?"
Kitra smiled at him answering proudly, "Yeah! You did awesome!"
Jumal laughed and replied, "Thanks, I’m glad you had fun!"
Bankotsu said, "Hey Ju, I gotta go hunting today and can't take Kit with me. Dar is still gone on orders. Would it be okay for Kit to visit with you and Lissa for a while?"
Jumal nodded and answered, "Sure, Lissa would love a chance to spend some time with Kit again." smiling at one of his closest friends.
Bankotsu asked, "Are you sure you don't mind?" wanting to make sure.
Jumal answered seriously, "Absolutely," knowing his sister would love a visit with her friend.
Bankotsu nodded and said, "Thanks, man!" grateful Kitra would be safe.
Jumal nodded and replied, "Any time, man!" The trio went and had lunch together.
Afterwards Bankotsu faced his younger friend and said, "Now behave and have fun, okay Kit! I’ll be back in a couple hours at the most."
Smiling Kitra nodded and replied, "I will, and you be careful, Ban!"
He nodded assuring her, "I will, see you in a bit!" and with that he took off to go hunting.
Jumal smiled and suggested, "Okay, Kit, let's go surprise Lissa!" eyes twinkling with laughter.
Kitra smiled and nodded, as they walked over to Jumal's hut.
Grinning Jumal yelled, "Lissa, you have company!" waiting for his sister to appear.
She ran out and excitedly asked, "Who?" looking around. Jumal grinned.
"Hey, Lissa!" Kitra greeted with a huge grin on her warm face.
Lissa squealed in delight and ran up to hug her friend. The girls hugged each other as Lissa stated, "Kitra, This is awesome!"
Kitra laughing agreed, "Yeah!" as they held hands.
Jumal smiled, shaking his head and questioned, "Okay you two, so what do you want to do first?"
Lissa looked at her brother answering, "First, we’re gonna go get caught up on girl talk in my room! Later though, we’ll need to get some groceries, Ju."
Jumal nodded and said, "Okay you two have fun; I’m going to sit here and polish my weapon a while."
The girls rolled their eyes, and shook their heads. Kitra asked, "What is it with polishing the weapons?"
Lissa answered, "No idea. Come on, let's go." Kitra nodded and they walked into Lissa's room together.
With Lissa and Kitra:
They sat on Lissa’s bed and Kitra questioned, "Okay, so what have I missed lately?"
Lissa answered, "Well, the headman's sons are being pains as always."
Kitra snorted and retorted, "What else is new? Mainly Kou is the one that harasses me, but Kio has started to as well now."
Lissa agreed heatedly, "Yeah, Kio is a real pain in the butt!"
Catching the bitterness in her friend’s voice, Kitra asked, "Did something happen, Lissa?"
Lissa sighed heavily and answered, "Lately, when the girls and I are in town he corners me and starts trying to feel me up."
Kitra growled and demanded, "Have you told Ju?" fearing for her friend’s safety.
Lissa gasped answering, "No, and you gotta promise me you won't either! Jumal would be so pissed! I... I don't want my brother getting into trouble..." concern her eyes.
Kitra sighed heavily and said sadly, "I know what you mean. The other night, Dar, Ban, and I were camping and I went to bathe in a nearby hot springs... Kou the ass showed up and started making comments and stuff. “
Taking a deep breath and scowling she explained, “I was in the spring naked for Kami's sake and the ass just had to show up and start some shit! He chuckled and reached out for me, but I moved away from him.”
Shuddering she finished, “Kou moved to pull me to him... but luckily for me Ban had followed me that night and just before Kou grabbed me, he showed up and yanked his hand away and started yelling at him. He was pretty pissed off too."
Lissa stared wide eyed at her friend and choked, "He... He saw you?!" disbelief on her face.
Kitra mumbled, "I know Kou did, I don't know if Ban saw or not... it was so embarrassing!" hands covering her hot cheeks.
Lissa grinned and stated, "He saw you. I mean he must have! You said you were naked, and he saw you naked!" teasing her friend about her crush.
Annoyed, Kitra retorted, "Whatever... anyway, what I was getting to is, I was so damn mad by the time they left so I could dress, I walked up and punched Kou right in his smug face! That stupid creep, then I slapped both their faces and stormed off!"
Grinning like a Cheshire cat, Lissa said smugly, "So Bankotsu saw you naked, huh?"
Kitra blushed and mumbled, "Never mind," her cheeks brightening, not wanting to think about it.
Lissa smiled and stated, "I'm sorry Kit, I was just teasing. I mean it's so obvious you are still crushing on the guy, and he actually saw you naked!"
Kitra snapped, annoyed, "Yeah, but so did the one idiot I really didn’t need to as well!"
Realizing her friend was right, Lissa hugged her and soothed, "It’ll be okay"
Kitra said, "Maybe..." trying to change the subject, she asked, "Anyway, what have I missed?"
Lissa sighed and answered, "Other than Kio being an ass to me, Asa is now being courted by Tao, the new recruit."
"Asa huh, I bet she’s happy!" Kitra replied, smiling.
Lissa smiled and answered happily, "Yeah, so is her mom!"
Kitra laughed and said, "I bet! Your aunt must be thrilled that her daughter is being courted, and by Kou's newest recruit! They must both be thrilled!"
Lissa nodded and suggested, "Yeah they are! Okay, time to get my brother and see if we can go to the market." Kitra nodded and they both got up and walked outside.
Lissa queried, "Hey, Ju, ready to go to the market yet?"
Jumal sighed and said, "Alright, let's go and get this over with. I want us back home before dark." He hated going for groceries. The girls nodded. The trio walked off to the market.
At the market:
The trio arrived and Jumal asked, "Okay girls, now what do we need?"
Lissa answered, "Fresh vegetables, flour, rice, and fresh fruits."
Wanting to get done quickly, Jumal groaned and suggested, "Alright, you girls go get the vegetables and fruits. I’ll get the rice and flour." He handed Lissa some money and left to get the flour and rice.
Lissa and Kitra walked with their arms linked over towards the vegetables. They grabbed a bunch of carrots, radishes, some potatoes, and some corn on the cob. They paid for the stuff and walked over to the fruits to get some bananas, apples, oranges, and tomatoes. Again they paid for their stuff and left to meet Jumal.
On the way to meet Jumal, Lissa spotted her newer friends and waved them over. Lissa introduced them. "Hey girls, this is Kitra. Kitra, this is Sheila, Tawny, and Kari."
"Hello, nice to meet you," Kitra greeted with a friendly smile.
Tawny was rather tall and her face too skinny. She also had shoulder-length straight black hair that fanned around her face; it fell across her shoulders and brown eyes. She said, "So you’re the one I’ve heard so much about- the one who lives with Bankotsu?"
Kitra nodded and answered, "Yeah, Bankotsu lives with me and my brother Darius. They’re best friends."
Kari was slender and short. She also has shoulder-length straight black hair that was in a top knot ponytail and a beautiful rounded face. She snapped bitterly, "You’re also the one whom my Kou is always going on and on about!"
Shocked Kitra exclaimed, "Ugh! Gag me, please! You actually like that asshole?!"
Kari narrowed her eyes. "Watch your mouth you little bitch!" she hissed angrily.
Kitra laughed and stated amused, "Obviously you have no idea what I’m really like! If you did, you wouldn't be trying to start a fight with me." Knowing she could easily kick any girl’s and some guys asses if she chose to.
Shocked at her new friend’s attitude, Lissa hissed, "Kari, be nice! It isn't her fault that Kou is so obsessed with her!"
Having witnessed herself their public displays, Tawny demanded, "So what's the deal with you and Bankotsu?" needing to get it straight before she bloodied the bitch.
Kitra smiled and answered happily, "He’s me and my brother's best friend!" honesty in her eyes. She was trying hard for Lissa’s sake to play nice.
Sheila was tall but a little plump. She also had shoulder length-wavy black hair rand deep brown eyes and her face is pretty but not beautiful. She mentioned dreamily, "He sure is sexy!"
Kitra mumbled, "Yeah," mentally rolling her eyes and thinking about how Bankotsu’s fan club was still growing.
Kari got in Kitra's face and ordered angrily, "Whatever, Just stay away from Kou, he’s mine!" sheer possessiveness in her tone.
Having about had all she was gonna tolerate from these wenches, Kitra snorted and retorted, "By all means take the ass! Just make sure he stays away from me!"
Stupid enough not to back off after the clear warning in Kitra’s voice, Kari viciously bitch slapped her. Lissa gasped and her eyes went wide ad Kitra narrowed her eyes and quickly punched Kari.
"You stupid whore!" Kari snarled, and tackled Kitra. Kitra started beating Kari off of her and threw her backwards. Pissed about Bankotsu’s attentions on Kitra, Tawny jumped on Kitra's back and started yanking her hair.
Frightened Lissa yelled, "Stop it!" trying to pull the girls off her best friend, while Kitra was busy kicking both of their asses.
Jumal ran over, yanking Tawny off of Kitra, and demanded vociferously, "All of you go home- now!"
Enraged Kari tackled Kitra again. Kitra fought back again and punched Kari in the stomach, yelling, "Get off me, you crazy bitch!" feeling her temper continue to rise.
Tao who looked much like Nenji brown hair in a bob tail, brown eyes only a couple years younger and was wearing dark purple hakamas and a lighter purple haori and was Kou's newest recruit, Nenji who is Kou's best friend and same age and was also Tao's cousin with his brown hair in a bob tail, brown eyes and wore maroon hakamas and a light purple haori, Kou, and Kio showed up and yanked the fighting girls apart.
Kitra's eyes narrowed at Tao and she hissed venomously, "Release me!"
Surprised to have found her in town, and without her bodyguards, Kou commanded, "Release her Tao! I’ll handle her personally."
Tao nodded and released his hold on Kitra. Kou looked at ‘his girl’ and demanded, "What the hell is going on here! Kitra, what are you doing here?"
Kitra glared at Kari hissing. "I was here with Lissa and Jumal. That crazy bitch attacked me!" pointed at Kari, nostrils flaring as she tried to control her fearsome temper..
"I was teaching that little slut a lesson," Kari yelled and pointed at Kitra glaring hatefully at her.
Kou backhanded Kari and growled, eyes furious, "Don't you ever speak about my future wife like that again bitch!"
Watching the display, Kitra shook her head sadly.
Thunderstruck Kari said, "B... But I’m gonna be your wife."
Kou scoffed and informed her dead seriously, "I will never marry a pathetic little whore like you!"
Kari gasped and crying, said, "B... But Kou..."
Kou glared at her and continued icily, "Kitra is the one I’m going to marry! Now leave my sight before I have you locked up for daring to attack my Kitra!"
"Your little bitch started it!" Tawny hissed, eyes filled with hatred, and body brimming with intense jealousy.
Kou glared and Lissa yelled, "No, they started it! Kitra and I were just getting groceries!" having finally found her voice.
Kio glared at Tawny and Sheila and ordered, "Leave!" He roared, "Now," glaring at the troublesome girls.
Facing them, Jumal added, "When I showed up two of those three were already on Kitra."
Kou nodded adding, "Thanks for looking after Kitra for me," staring at Jumal.
Kitra glared and snapped, "He was doing it for Ban, not you!"
Kou smirked and questioned, "And just where is Bankotsu, anyway?" amusement in his eyes.
Kitra glared and snapped, "None of your damn business!" knowing he was bound to try something soon.
Kou chuckled and said, "Kitra, Kitra, Kitra. What shall I do about your little fight here, hm?" mischief in his eyes as he continued staring at her.
She hissed vehemently, "I didn't do nothing but defend myself, you ass!"
Kou chuckled amused, and stated seriously, "Such fire! Well no matter, the fact is you were still fighting... Now what should I do about it?"
She narrowed her eyes angrily at him. He smirked and suggested smugly, "I know, Kitra, you come over here and give me a kiss and I’ll just forget all about your little fight."
Kitra glared and roared angrily, "No way in hell!"
Tao laughed and teased, "Gee Kou, looks like your 'girlfriend' can't stand you!" Kou glared daggers at him and Tao instantly sobered up and gulped nervously. Kitra snorted and gave a look of ‘no shit, Sherlock’
Kou advanced towards Kitra, but Jumal stood in front of her protectively and said, "Okay guys, enough."
Kou glared at him and warned, "This is between myself and Kitra. Do not get involved in this, Jumal!"
Jumal replied seriously, "I won't let you guys hurt her!" staring down the other male.
Annoyed Kou ordered, "Hold him down, boys!"
Tao, Nenji, and Kio all jumped on Jumal and held him down while Kou started punching him.
"Stop it, you assholes! Leave him alone!" Kitra yelled while trying to yank Kou off of Jumal.
Kou grabbed Kitra straightening up, and stated, "Fine, I’ll stop for now, but you owe me a kiss." Kitra adamantly refused.
Kou nodded and Tao kicked Jumal in the head, knocking him out cold. Kitra cried frantically, "Stop it!" Lissa looked at Kitra with eyes full of fear.
Kitra faced her nemesis and barked, "Kou, make them stop!" stomping her foot angrily.
Kou smirked and replied smugly, "Only if you give me a kiss afterwards!"
Kitra glared at him, and looked at Jumal and back at Kou. Sighing heavily she reluctantly agreed, "One kiss and one kiss only- now make them stop!"
Kou grinned victoriously and ordered, "Stop now!"
Kitra mumbled, "Thank you." as the guys stopped kicking her unconscious friend.
Kou grinned and said smugly, "Now about that kiss?" looking at her expectantly.
Kitra sighed and kissed his cheek; he turned his head and captured her bottom lip between his teeth. She opened her mouth to yell at him and he shoved his tongue in her mouth. She bit down and he yanked his tongue out glaring at her. She shoved him away, and ran over falling to her knees beside Jumal who was still knocked out.
Lissa sobbed filled with worry for her brother. Kio grabbed Lissa and she screamed. Kitra saw Lissa was in trouble and ordered angrily, "Take your hands off her, you bastard!" running over to him and shoving him away from Lissa. She shoved Lissa over to Jumal and commanded, "Get your brother and get out of here- now!"
Lissa nodded and slowly began dragging her brother away, tears in her eyes. Kitra spun around glaring at the guys and snapped, "It takes some real guts to pick on a damn child, you filthy cowards!" damn near completely enraged.
Warning: Attempted rape Scene!!
"That's it! I’ve had enough of your attitude, bitch! Now you’ll learn your place!" Kou snapped angrily, as he angrily stalked towards Kitra.
She glared at him and seethed, "You’re all nothing but cowards and bullies!" glaring disdainfully at him.
Kou grabbed her and slammed her hard against a wall. She gasped in pain. Kou got right in her face and stated, "Bitch, I’m gonna teach you to respect me like you should!" She disrespectfully spat in his face.
He narrowed his eyes and angrily back handed her. He threw her to the ground and ordered, "Hold her down, boys!"
Nenji and Tao held her down and Kou stood over her seething; "Now you will learn your lesson! No one ever gets away with defying me repetitively, you little bitch!" He straddled her hips and ripped open her shirt.
Kitra began bucking wildly trying to throw him off of her, or at least to free her hands or feet, but she was struggling in vain. She had tears streaming down her face. Kou said in a voice full of regret, "You just had to keep pushing me, didn't you?" staring down at the weeping girl beneath him.
Kitra spat at him again. He back handed her, then went to rip open her pants as well.
Kitra's POV:
“Fucking bastards- get off me! Ban, I hope like hell you get here soon!” I continued trying to fight them off, using my anger to fuel my struggles, but they had me trapped.
Warning: End attempted rape scene!!
Regular POV:
Bankotsu had been heading to Jumal’s when he heard Kitra’s screams and tore off into the direction they were coming from. He came running around the corner and kicked Nenji in the head, knocking him out cold then kicked him aside breaking some ribs.
Feeling her hands freed, Kitra instantly started beating her fists against anything she could hit yelling, "Get off me, you fucking psychos!"
Bankotsu kicked Tao in the ribs and punched his face knocking him out cold. He then angrily ripped Kou off of Kitra and started punching the hell out of him.
Kio tackled Bankotsu and they started rolling around throwing punches at each other.
Kitra got up and closed her clothes, then wrapped her arms around herself and started crying. Bankotsu knelt in front of her and gathered the crying Kitra into his arms. She hugged his neck and cried with her head buried in his chest.
Bankotsu picked her up and stormed towards Jumal's hut. Lissa answered the pounding door. "What happened!?" she yelled, concern written across her features.
Bankotsu demanded angrily, "Where is Jumal?" eyes flashing with fury like a building storm.
Lissa lead him into the bedroom and showed him Jumal, who was bruised and still bleeding. He had just woken up and looked at his friend and asked, "How is she?"
Bankotsu answered angrily, "Scared as fucking hell! Those fuckers were trying to rape her," gritting his teeth.
Jumal shook his head sadly and said, "I tried to stop them."
Bankotsu demanded, "What the fuck was she doing there to begin with!?"
Lissa answered in a voice filled with sadness, "We were grocery shopping, then my ‘friends’ showed up and started a fight. Kou and the guys showed up... Kitra, she kept Kio from attacking me..." staring into his eyes, before staring at her quaking friend who was held protectively against his chest.
Bankotsu seethed, "This is the last fucking straw! As soon as Darius gets back, we’re leaving and I’m going to kill that fucker myself!" With that Bankotsu carried Kitra home.
Back at the hut:
Bankotsu set Kitra on her feet and demanded, "What happed to your face, Kitra?" staring at the swelling cheek and busted lip.
Kitra answered flatly, "He backhanded me, twice." She looked him dead in the eyes and said, "Thank you, for saving me from..."
Bankotsu nodded and said, "You're welcome," gently wiping the blood away from her swollen lip. She winced and he scowled.
Kitra cried in his arms until she fell asleep. Bankotsu stayed up all night holding Kitra and trying to soothe her. When she finally fell asleep, he sat there holding her and thinking.
Bankotsu's POV:
“When Darius gets back we’re getting the fuck out of here! That is the last fucking straw! If those bastards aren't dead yet, they fucking will be when I’m finished!” I clenched my fist, trying to control my temper so I could stay beside Kitra in case she woke up scared.
Regular POV:
The look on Bankotsu's face and in his eyes was simply murderous.
With Kou at the Headman's villa:
Pacing as he held his bruising jaw, Kou demanded angrily, "I don't care, father- I want that bastard gone! I want him permanently banned from this village and everyone in it- especially my Kitra! Do it, or so help me I’ll take Kitra, leave this fucking village and you’ll have no choice but to make Kio your heir! Is that really what you want, father?"
The headman sighed heavily and countered, "Very well, tomorrow he will be dealt with! But in return, I will have your word that afterwards you’ll stay and become the headman once you become of age!" glaring at his headstrong heir.
Kou nodded and agreed, "Do it," Then stormed off into his bedroom and slammed the door shut. The headman sighed heavily and shook his head. He knew damn well the repercussions of what he was going to do tomorrow and only hoped Darius wouldn’t be such a difficult subject.
Kou's POV:
Still seething, I sunk onto my bed. “Stupid Bankotsu, always showing up where he isn't wanted, I’d have had her twice by now if you hadn’t kept interfering! This will fix your sorry ass once and for good! Kitra you little bitch, I’m still gonna get you, and when I do, you’re gonna learn the hard way to respect me! But for now I’ll have to settle for dealing with that fucking Bankotsu! Once his ass is gone, then your ass will be mine!”
I laid there for hours thinking about my Kitra, and how I was finally gonna get rid of that bastard Bankotsu! “Once he’s gone, I’ll make Kitra mine and force her and her brother's cooperation! Also, I’ll hire an assassin to track down and kill that Bankotsu and make sure he doesn't come back!”
Thinking smugly, “That's what you get for interfering with me and my Kitra!” I smiled to myself. “Finally, Things are going to start going my way. Everything is finally falling into place.”
