Jakotsu POV
—————————————————————————-
"Hey big brother!" I call out.
We had been searching the village, tearing it apart to find this fucking guy and so far nothing.
'Bankotsu won't be to happy with us coming back empty handed. Great.' I thought to myself as I roamed around the inn looking for him and Catya.
Those two are something else.
Never has big brother cared about a girl this much, it's interesting how he is with her than how he is with another girl. He would always say, "Women are good for a few things like pouring our drinks and sucking our dicks!" But it seems like Catya is more to him than that.
"I found them!" Suikotsu announces.
We head to the back of the inn and found Big brother holding an unconscious Catya as tight as he could.
Around them were multiple dead bodies and the both of them were covered in blood.
"Let me see her head." Suikotsu says kneeling down and reaching his hand to touch her.
Big brother immediately turning his body so that he was blocking Suikotsu from touching her.
"Don't touch her! No one touch her!" He shouts with anger deep in his voice as his whole body shook.
"But big brother, she's wounded and needs to be treated." Suikotsu says.
"I don't give a shit! I'll take care of her!" He says looking up at us.
I took a step back.
His eyes sent a shiver down my spine.
I've known Bankotsu for a long, long time and never had I seen him with such rage in his eyes. His glare could stab right through you.
I looked down at Catya and saw that half of her face was covering in blood. Looking at her head I saw the deep red color melting through her lavender hair.
She was hurt.
While under his watch.
No wonder the look in his eye.
But what happened?
From what I could instantly tell most of these bodies were killed by Bankotsu, but two out of the 20 were killed...differently.
One that I could barely tell was female had burns all over her body and her head torn off.
The other body was a man..a cute one too. The entire center of his torso had a clean hole straight through with his organs splatter all behind him.
Could it have been?
That Watari guy had said something about her and her demon.
Shit, what was it?
'If she substance enough damage it could and will release Bartholomew. With Kazuku's creations they naturally announce how much power they release as a means of controlling them but not Catya. That's what made her so unpredictable and feared throughout the....blah....blah...blah.'
That must be what happened.
"Bankotsu?" I crouch down in front of him.
He picked her up bridal style, turned on his heel and headed back to the inn.
Just as he was about to enter he turns to us and says, "kill everyone in this inn. We'll stay for the night and by sunrise we leave and when we do burn this fucking place to the ground."
And with that he disappears into the inn with Catya in his arms.
"I wonder what happened."

Catya POV:
'Where am I?'
Looking around I could see nothing but the darkened emptiness surrounding me.
I was completely naked, even the wrappings around my arms and legs were gone.
All alone in the darkness had anxiety rippling through me.
"Are you scared?" A soft voice asked.
"Who's there?" I call out.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you."
"Who are you?"
"A friend? Maybe. Or something else."
"I don't understand.."
The voice laughed at me confusion.
"You were born to kill." The voice stated.
"I..know.."
"You don't want too?"
I couldn't answer.
All my life I had been forced to kill those weaker than me or stronger.
"It's fun.."
"Of course it is."
Soon a man stood in front of me.
His head was wrapped up only revealing his right eye, which was red, and had only a loincloth for clothing.
"You kill because it's in your blood. It was your only means of survival."
I stared at the masked man with wide eyes. What was this feeling? Why do I feel this way?
"Do you feel the guilt, Thirteen?" Two voices in perfect harmony spoke up.
Turning around my eyes landed on Hinako and Minako. Their eyes were missing and had blood all over their nude bodies. With their fingers interlocked with each other's they began walking towards me.
"Get away!" I screamed.
I spun on my heel to run away but was soon face to face with the priestess, blood coming from her neck and her head in her arms.
A scream broke from my throat as I fell backwards.
Soon I was surrounded by those I have killed.
"You didn't have to kill me, big sister. I begged you to stop and you wouldn't.."
Number 8 was standing in front of me. Tears flowing from her big brown eyes and her organs in her small arms. I was only one year older than her..but papa wanted me to fight her. I was only 7 years old.
"I'm sorry.." I say as my voice broke and tears trailing down my cheeks.
"Monster."
I gasped and looked up.
In front of me was Ouni with the center of his torso missing.
"You're an abomination. A slight against god." He says with hatred laced in his voice.
Together in perfect union, all my victims began chanting, "monster! Monster! Monster!!"
I go into a fetal position covering my ears as I cried.
"I'm not a monster!"
"Catya..."
A lifted my head and gasped. I knew that voice. It was warm, rough, and masculine.
I see a small light appear in the distance of this blackened abyss.
Gathering myself to my feet I take a step, "Catya...!"
The voice was calling to me.
I had to reach it.
With each step I took the angry voices disappeared and this one voice rang through my ears like a sweet song.
As I got closer to the light I see his silhouette, his broad shoulders, slim yet masculine body and his long braid.
He reached out his hand to me.
It felt so close yet so far away.
I had to reach him.
With all my strength I ran as fast as I could to him, with my extended hand I call out to the man I've come to see as my savior.
With my voice raspy and my lips dry I call out at the top of my lungs, "Bankotsu!!"
I shot up, gasping for air.
My forehead and neck were drenched in sweat. Looking at my surrounding I realized I was inside a room.
"Hey!"
I jumped and turned my head to see a surprised Bankotsu.
"W-what happened?" I say with wide eyes, he had a few bandages on his face and around his head.
My eyes trailed down to his body.
He was shirtless and was partially covered in bandages.
"You got hurt..." my voice trailing off as I looked down at my lap.
"Yeah that dick used magic to fight me instead of a sword like a real man." He replied with annoyance in his voice.
He looked at me with a concerned expression.
"You okay?"
I blinked.
For some reason I can't remember what happened after I ran into that priestess.
"Yeah...my head hurts a little and I think it's giving me weird dreams." I say rubbing my head.
The top portion of my head was wrapped up tightly. I rubbed the top of my head gently.
"Oh yeah, like what?" He says laying down on his back across my legs.
"I can't remember.." I answer honestly.
All I could remember was his voice calling to me.
He turned his head to look at me.
"We'll be leaving soon." He says.
Good.
I wanted to leave this place and never come back.
"Bankotsu?"
"Hm?"
"What do you think of me?"
He looked surprised by my question.
"What do you mean?" He asks.
"I'm a monster.." I say burying my face in my hands.
He sat up.
I could feel his eyes on me but I couldn't look up,
"We're all monsters. Just shows that you're one of us." He says softly.
Meeting his eyes I study his face. His face held no emotion but his dark blue eyes did.
He reaches his hand out and wipes a tear from my eye.
"Enough feeling sorry for yourself. You're better than that. If the world calls us monsters than we'll show em how monstrous we can be." He says with a smirk.
I smiled at him.
He was right. I don't want to be weak and scared anymore. I want to be strong....like him.
"We'll give them hell." I say smiling.
He leaned in closer.
I laid my hands on his chest as his arms went around my hips pulling me closer to him.
"Damn right we will. I'll fucking kill anyone that dares to even scratch you." He says softly.
My heart fluttered, my cheeks were heating up and my stomach had that weird, ticklish feeling again.
I opened my mouth to speak but he silenced me. His lips pressed tightly against mine.
His grip on my hips tightened and my fingers trailed up his chest, neck and up to his jaw.
He pushed me down on my back crawling on top of me without ever breaking our intensifying kiss.
As he pushed his tongue through my lips his hands undid the kimono I was wearing.
Breaking our kiss he sat up slightly to open up the kimono, exposing my nude body.
He smirked.
"No underwear?"
I blushed a deep red.
"I..um...for-forgot to put some on.." I say embarrassed.
He slipped a his hand down my stomach and cupped my mound.
I whimpered softly as his fingers delved into my most intimate.
"I love how wet you get for me." He whispered in my ear. His hot breath fanning down my neck, sending a shiver down my spine.
He wasted no time spreading my legs and positioning himself between them.
I could feel his member rubbing against me through his pants.
Reaching between us I start undoing his hakama, slowing slipping it down his hips.
His manhood sprung out, touching it softly he was rock hard.
His fingers continued sliding in and out of me while my hands wrapped around his cock pumping up and down.
"You're getting pretty good at that." He says lustfully.
"Thank you." I say smiling at him.
He just stared at me. Like he was trying to figure something out.
"Is everything alright?" I ask cautiously.
"Yeah, just got lost in my thoughts." He says looking away.
I cup his face, turning it to face me. I wasn't sure what to say but I knew that something was off with him.
"Catya.." He begins.
"Yes?"
"I don't care how strong or brave you try to be, when we get into a dangerous situation or you don't feel safe, let me handle it. I don't give a shit what happens to me, I won't let you get hurt again." He says with a serious expression.
"I'm not a good man, I'll be the first to tell you that, but understand that you are the only woman I've been this protective over." He rested his head on my shoulder.
"I don't get it.. this overwhelming desire to keep you safe and unharmed. The smallest thought of someone touching you or taking you away from me drives me fucking insane. I don't get you." He says locking eyes with me.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"You. Everything about you. I've never meet a girl like you, Kitty cat. Just...the way you look at me. When Ouni had a hold on you, the second you saw me it was like everything around us disappeared and...fuck!"
He slammed his hand down cracking the wood underneath him.
He took a breath before lifting his head to meet my gaze.
He chuckled.
"Not even a flinch."
"I knew Ouni. We were sent by a lord in the area to destroy a rebelling village about a year ago, probably a few months before we found you, and I remember fighting him. He was tough but I was tougher and I thought we had killed him but guess I was wrong. This whole thing was my fault. He only came after you cause he probably saw you with us." He growled.
I could tell he felt guilty, seeing him look so vulnerable made me sad.
"You're something else, Catya." He whispers as he kisses me. He was so rough but his lips where so soft.
"I'll make love to you tonight. Just this once." He says as he slides himself inside me.
His motions were smooth like the waves of the ocean. His hips gently grinding into mine.
I wrap my legs around his waist, pulling him closer. My arms hugging his torso as my hands drifted up to his shoulders as my hips naturally swayed with his.
His hand slide down my side to my hip, griping it tightly. His other arm was under my head, embracing me and supporting him as he pumped in and out of me.
Bankotsu made love to me again and again. He was gentle yet forceful, sweet but rough.
And I loved every second of it. He knew my body so well, where to touch, where to kiss. I loved it, but mostly I loved it because it was with him.
He was so special to me. If I were to lose him I don't know what I would do.
"Thank you for always protecting me. I don't ever want to be apart from you." I say burying my face in his neck.
His grip on me tightens and his movements become more aggressive.
My moans and his grunts echoed through the room, pressure building more and more.
He slammed his lips into mine, silencing our noises. I was getting close and so was he.
Than as the sun rose our sweet nectars mixed deep inside me. Both of our holds on each other tightened.
"You're something else." He mumbled as he placed a soft kiss on my forehead.
I pray that this will never end.
