Chapter 8- Abandoned House

The group started off from Kaede's village and headed toward the Northern Regions of the Province. Amadala was walking in the front to keep Ginger calm while they were traveling. If she got spooked or something like that, then she could throw Renkotsu off of her and the group did not want that to happen.

Renkotsu sighed as he looked up at the sky. It was late January close to early February and the Feudal Era had seen more snow than it had in the last 25 years.

“Even when we were beheaded…I don't remember this much snow falling…”

Ginkotsu kept behind Amadala and Ginger along with Bankotsu in case if there was an attack or a demon come popping out of nowhere. Ginkotsu was very nervous and he was trying to keep it to himself without the rest of the guys knowing it. Unfortunately, Bankotsu took a whiff that he was nervous and he came up right next to him.

He whispered, “So…daddy getting nervous over mommy eh?”

Ginkotsu looked back at Bankotsu and blushed a beet red. “Gsh..well..um…..”

Bankotsu smiled as he patted him on the back. “It will be okay Ginkotsu..Renkotsu and the baby will be just fine…we got Suikotsu and Mukotsu as experts….Suikotsu has delivered a lot of babies so he knows what to do…”

“I know but….I have heard some awful stories about the woman bleeding to death…the baby dying or in some cases…both mom and baby dying..I don't want to lose Renkotsu and the baby…I love them too much….”

“Aww Ginkotsu..it will be okay…the most important thing right now is to be calm for Renkotsu and the baby…if you are nervous …imagine what Renkotsu is feeling right now…”

Ginkotsu thought for a moment and nodded. “You are right Oo-Aniki….he has to be extremely nervous…..he is the one that has to have the baby after all?”

“That reminds me..”

“Yesh Bankotsu?”
“HOW IS HE GOING TO HAVE THE BABY!??!?!?!”

Ginkotsu shrugged his shoulders. “We will just have to wait and see…”

“How much further have we got to go?” Mukotsu said as they continued trudging through the thick snow.

“Umm…it's a long way to the Northern province and it looks like this snow is going to ground us for a while..I suggest that the next place that we see…we spend the night there..” Suikotsu said in his doctor tone.

Bankotsu nodded and said,”Yeah..the last thing that we need is for one of us to get sick or in this case…Renkotsu is the one we need to worry the most about…”

Renkotsu sighed. “You know Amadala…I would not mind walking for a little while..sitting on this horse is tiring me out…”

Amadala looked at Renkotsu and then looked at Suikotsu. “If its okay with Suikotsu then its okay with me…”

Suikotsu nodded. “ I recommend that you walk now just a little bit Ren…that way your legs will not develop blood clots or anything else serious…”

With the help of Suikotsu and Ginkotsu, Renkotsu got off of the horse and Amadala climbed up on Ginger.

“There …is that better now Renkotsu?” Ginkotsu said as he held Renkotsu's hand.

Renkotsu nodded. “Much better…”

Amadala looked around as they continued on the road well into nightfall. There she spotted with what looked like an abandoned house. “Bankotsu! There is an abandoned house up the hill!”

Bankotsu looked at the house and said,” Alright! We will spend the night there! Jakotsu, Amadala, and I will go up ahead and take a look to make sure that there is nothing in the house that will harm us…”

The group nodded as Amadala extended a hand to Bankotsu and Bankotsu climbed up on Ginger. Amadala looked at Jakotsu. “Sorry Jak..there is not enough room on Ginger for three people..”

Jakotsu nodded. “I understand…”

Amadala and Bankotsu rode up to the house while Jakotsu ran behind them. Bankotsu was the first to get off of the horse. He grabbed Banryu from the horse and Amadala was the next to get off with Midnight in her hand. They both carefully walked into the house with their weapons out and ready to go.

“Amadala…you go down that hallway…and I will go down the other one..” Bankotsu said as he looked down a hall.
Amadala nodded as they split up. Jakotsu was covering the outside part out of the house.

Amadala looked around in each of the rooms. It was apparent that the former owners of the house had left in a hurry b/c most of the things were still in the house. She continued down the hall until she came to a room that she was most interested in.

“Hmmm…I wonder what is in here…”

She lit a lamp that was in the room and gasped. It was a child's room and it was apparent by the pictures and the little clothes. Amadala sat Midnight down on the ground and looked around. The pictures looked like they were drawing that he did of himself, his mother and father, and the land surrounding the house.

“I hope that this child and his parents escaped in time….”

Amadala sighed as she looked at the clothes. Just then, she heard something coming down the hallway. She picked up Midnight and aimed it at the door.

“Go away whatever you are…”

Just then the figure entered and Amadala went to attack it.

“AMA!! ITS ME!!!”

Amadala sighed. It was just Jakotsu. She sighed as she relaxed a bit.

“Damn Jakotsu…don't scare me like that…”

“Sorry what are you looking at?” Jakotsu said as Amadala picked up a soldier doll.

“I found this child's room..its apparent by his drawing and clothing items..I hope that this child made it out in time…hmm…I am going to keep this doll though….his mother must have made this little doll for him…” Amadala held onto the doll tightly as she and Jakotsu walked down the hall.

“So…did you see anything Jakotsu?” Amadala said as Jakotsu held onto the candle that made light tightly.

“Nope and by the looks of things..you did not either…Bankotsu came back and said he did not see anything so he went to tell the rest of the group…..”

“Good…um…do you want the lady of the house's room? I found it on the way down here…”

“Amadala…Amadala…you know the answer to that question…” Jakotsu said while winking.

Amadala nodded. `Fair Enough..Bankotsu will probably want the Lord' room and I will share it with him..”

“YAY!! That makes me happy to have that room!” Jakotsu said as he hugged Amadala.

Amadala smiled as the rest of the Shichinintai entered the house.

“So guys..what did you find?” Suikotsu said,.

“Well by the looks of things….everyone left in a hurry..” Amadala said as she held onto the doll tightly.

“Amadala..what is with the doll?” Mukotsu asked curiously.

Amadala looked at the doll and smiled. “Oh this? A little boy that lived here owned it…apparently his mother made it for him and I decided to keep it…”

Mukotsu nodded and looked around the house. “We need some light in here….”

“There is a fire pit in the main part …” Jakotus said as he pointed to the fire pit.

“Renkotsu? Do you mind doing the honors?” Kyoukotsu asked.

Renkotsu nodded and gulped some of his liquid. Then he blew some of his fire into the fire pit.

“There ..I blew fire into the fire pit….now…can I get some rest? I am feeling a bit sleepy..” Renkotsu said as he yawned and stretched.

Ginkotsu nodded. “I shall bring you some food down to our room…”

Renkotsu nodded as walked down one of the hallways and picked out a room that him and Ginkotsu could share that night. It was a very small house and due to that, some of them had to bunk up for the night. Bankotsu and Amadala would share a room, Jakotsu usually got his own room for certain reasons, Suikotsu got his own room as well, and Mukotsu and Kyoukotsu would share a room.

Renkotsu sighed as he fluffed the pillow on the bed and layed down on it. He sat up once again and lit the lamp that was in the room.

“It so cold in here..I need to light the firepit as well for warmth..cannot be catching a cold now, Can I?”

Renkotsu blew fire into the firepit and then he got his sketchbook out of his bag and started looking through it. He did not really have much as far as drawings in the book except for sketches of Ginkotsu's armory that he was working on.

“I cannot remember when was the last time that I actually sat down and fumbled through this book..”

He looked through a couple more pages and stopped when he came across the picture that he done of Ayana and Amadala. He smiled as he looked at the picture. He was hoping when his own child was born that he could draw it as well.

He placed his hand on his stomach and began to think. “Not much longer now..I hope that I am ready for this…whatever the outcome…..I know that I am ready to be a mommy…”

Renkotsu's thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. “Come in!”

“You are alright Renkotsu?” Ginkotsu said as he brought a tray of food and sat it on the ground.

“Thanks for the food and yes I am….”

“May I join you? It would be a shame for you to eat by yourself?”

“Yes you may!” Renkotsu said as he grabbed his bowl of rice and began to chow down on it.

Ginkotsu smiled as he grabbed his bowl of rice and began to eat away as well. He looked up from his bowl and smiled.

“Renkotsu sure looks happy…….I hope that Bankotsu is right ….I hope that everything goes okay..”
