Title: The Reason Renkotsu is Bald
Pairing: None, but if you really want to, you'll see RenkotsuYura.
Summary: It is a question that has been pondered for ages, yet has never truly been answered: Why is Renkotsu bald?
"Ne, Renkotsu-aniki, how come you're bald anyway?"
Renkotsu twitched the second the question left Jakotsu's lips. He tried to just ignore the younger boy, but he was very… persistent
"Tell me, tell me, tell me, TELL ME!" Jakotsu repeated over and over again.
"Fine!" Renkotsu rubbed at the bridge of his nose, the headache-often associated with his conversations with Jakotsu-already setting in.
Jakotsu looked at Renkotsu, attentively waiting for his response.
Sighing in irritation, Renkotsu began his tale.

Renkotsu, aged fourteen, ran through the streets, attempting to flea from the young demon girl behind him.
"Leave me alone, you crazy bitch!"
The girl just laughed, continuing her chase. "Tsk, tsk, Renkotsu-kun, young boys such as yourself shouldn't be using that language," she cackled, flinging her comb out at Renkotsu as she did. "Now, give me that pretty hair of yours!"
Even though he could not see the strands of hair, Renkotsu knew from experience that something was there, and he jumped to the side.
"Aww, you're no fun!" The demon flung the comb again, and again, Renkotsu dodged the attack. He then jumped into a back alley, losing the girl for the moment.
Breathing deeply, Renkotsu decided something. He knew what he had to do.

The next day, Renkotsu was outside sweeping his porch, just as he did every day, and, just like every other day, he heard a far off voice calling his name.
"Renkotsu, I've come for your hair, you better run!" The annoyingly sweet voice came through the air, grating on Renkotsu's nerves.
"Come here then Yura, I've got something for you." Renkotsu rolled his eyes at the high pitched squeal that followed his reply. Soon enough, Yura made her appearance. Her previously grinning face dropped, and confusion filled her dark-pink eyes.
"Where'd it all go!" she gaped, her eyes fixated on Renkotsu bald head.
"You wanted it, right?" Renkotsu pulled out a small bundle from inside his clothing, and then threw it at the girl before him. "There you go. All yours."
Yura glared, picked up the bundle, and stormed off. "You're no fun!"
Renkotsu just laughed.

Jakotsu started laughing as Renkotsu finished the story. "You're bald because some demon wench used to chase you around?"
Renkotsu nodded, then rolled his eyes as Jakotsu burst into a round of giggles.
