Girls and Gunpowder

Chapter 5:

Kanade started to run a bath as the small girl sat on Ichi's bed. He walked in and sat besides her "How old are you?".

"I am six.". She looked in her lap.

"Well, what's your name.".

The girls head didn't move to look at him "I...don't..have a name.".

Kanade walked in sitting in front of her smiling gently "Yes you do. As of today you are Emiko.".

The girl looked at Kanade's sincere face "Really? My name is Emiko?".

Ichi patted her on the head with a large grin "Yes, because you are a beautiful child.".

Emiko blushed and hugged Kanade around the neck "Thank you, Ka-na-de".

Kanade hugged her back. She grabbed a towel,rag, soap and shampoo. "Come on your bath is ready.".she lead Emiko into the bath room and stripped her cloths. Emikos body was covered in scratches and bruises. Kanade looked at Emiko's bloodied underwear. "Who did this to you...". She lifted the underwear from the floor.

Emiko climbed into the water and drew up her legs. "Those men..they...did things to me every night...". Emikos eyes started to flood with tears "It hurt so bad Big sister!".

Kanade could feel her dark side coming out. She stood up "Emiko... I have to do something. Big brother Ichi will bathe you. He's not like those men. He's nice and would never hurt you.". Kanade walked back into the room with dark shadow covered eyes "You need to bathe her. It will be fine.".

Ichi understood and went in right away.He grabbed Kanade's rubber duck and went along. All the girls sat at the bar drinking water. Kanade grabbed her guitar and started strumming it. The others could see the anger and dark cloud over shadowing her

"Who does that to a six year old girl! She is just a baby!". Kanade slammed her guitar on the counter making everyone jump. Aggie gathered all of her hair and began to braid it. This seemed to be the only solution the girls have ever found. Kanade took a deep breathe and played with the thick braid that made her hair raise to her thighs.

"Now what happened?". Satomi sat down her glass.

Kanade sighed brushing the bangs from her face "Those men ...raped her.".

Shini looked at Kanade with reassurance in her smile "Well, she is with us now so she is safe right? And we killed those bastards so now they rot in Hell.".

Kanade began to feel happy about the way she dismantled the man. Ichi walked in with a drenched shirt and sat next to Aggie

"What happened to you?". She squeezed the water to the floor.

"We had a little to much fun with the rubber duck. She is bathed and sleeping!".

Kanade smiled staring at the clock and took a sip of her tea "You are going to make a good father one day...". Ichi blushed.

Aggie grabbed Kanade's cheeks "Hey, you do remember that talk we had earlier right..".

Kanade whined in pain "Ouch! Ouch! I'm sorry!".

Satomi smacked her hands "Any ways what is her name?"

Kanade smiled brightly "Ichi and I named her. It's Emiko!".

Satomi grew an evil grin and twirled her fingers around Ichi's chest. "So, you and Kanade have a love child?".

Ichi blushed waving his arms around "It means beautiful child!".

Shini sipped her water "Doesn't mean she can't be a love child."

Kanade got up and wrapped her arms around Ichi's body "I'm alright with that...lets have another ". She licked his ear.
