“Where the hell is your stuff?”
You smirked as you walked towards the Band of Seven, who were already gathered by the castle gates. You were wearing a white kimono top, a blue hakama with a bow sash of the same color. Basically the basic kendo uniform. Your turquoise hair was tied in a low ponytail with a yellow ribbon, and Katsura kept sheathed horizontally on your lower back, hanging onto your sash by a rope.
“Somewhere.” You shrugged, in respond to Bankotsu’s question. He quirked an eyebrow in wonder, but didn’t question any longer.
“Fine. Let’s go. I wanna get there by sundown.” Said the boy grumpily, shifting the weight of Banryu on his shoulder and began to walk. You and Jakotsu exchanged glances as you followed him.
It was the first time you saw Ginkotsu and Kyokotsu. No wonder Hyura didn’t allow them further in.
They were bigger and hard to believe that they were alive at first sight. It was silent for the beginning of the journey, with you and Bankotsu frequently stealing glances at each other when the other wasn’t looking. Jakotsu nudged Suikotsu who nudged Renkotsu when Jakotsu noticed it, and the three began snickering.
“What are you three snickering about?” asked Bankotsu obliviously, not even turning to them.
“Nothin’...” Jakotsu grinned.
“Okay then, you weirdos.”
---> (A/N: Kinda how Yozora looks like, except hair is more like turquiose)
You secretly smiled to yourself at Bankotsu’s childishness. Good thing to add to his dignity as the youngest member as the leader.
“You know, if you want, you can sit on Ginkotsu when you’re tired of walking.” Bankotsu said in a soft tone as you caught up to him, the others behind them. You nodded. “I told him about you so it’s fine.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, I told him you were an ungrateful and boring excuse of a life.”
. . . . . .
“Do you want me to kill you right here right now?” you asked, annoyance in your brown eyes. Bankotsu stared at you blankly for a while, before chuckling in amusement.
“I’m kidding!” Bankotsu grinned, putting a friendly arm around your shoulders. “I told him you’re pretty fun to be with. We can sort of trust you too.”
“I get it. So how long is this journey meant to be?”
“Usually half a day. By the way, do you know who this Gin Kurota is?”
“Not really. I have heard rumours of him though, that he lost his wife just after a year after their marriage.”
“How old is he?”
“Hyura said he’s in his early 40s. He was married at the age of 24. Why?”
“You know your politics, don’t you?” Bankotsu smirked. You chuckled.
“Not really. I’m just up to date.”
“You two are getting along really well, aren’t you?”
You and Bankotsu automatically step away from each other at Jakotsu’s question.
“Guess you can say that.” Said Bankotsu flatly, trying to sound like he didn’t care.
You looked away, pretending to be in your own world by whistling, as you sense Jakotsu turn to you for an answer.
“Fine...deny it all you want.”
