Shichinintai Apprentice

Chapter 1

Bankotsu sat outside on the wooden porch, lost in thought. The idea has come to mind many times but he just couldn't decide what to do with it. Jakotsu, the Shichinintai's leader of attack, slid the door open and walked over to Bankotsu. "What's wrong , aniki-chan?" Jakotsu asked. "Jakotsu-san, I've been thinking this over for some time but what do think of an apprentice for the Shichinintai?" Jakotsu stared at the sky and then back at Bankotsu. "I like the idea but where are we going to find someone who's good enough?" Jakotsu questioned him. "Ummm...what if...what if we hold a competition to see who would be a good apprentice," he answered. "Okay, but what exactly will they have to do in this competition?" "Let's see...They will have to be able to dodge and block our attacks. Those who are unable to, well, I think you know that answer. Just think of it as a little practice if you want to," Bankotsu said grinning. Thinking of all the blood and cute boys to kill Jakotsu got one of his usual turn ons.

He giggled,"Aniki! This is going to be so much fun! I'll go tell everyone else." He got up to leave. "Wait a minute, Jakotsu." Bankotsu grabbed Jakotsu's hand, pulled on his arm, and plopped Jakotsu in his lap. "Hey, aniki-chan, what is it?" Bankotsu grabbed Jakotsu's chin, forcing Jakotsu to look at him. Jakotsu blushed. Those eyes...those beautiful sapphire eyes met his. Jakotsu got a familiar feeling. The feeling he always got when he looked deeply in Bankotsu's eyes. Jakotsu didn't want to admit to himself but he had fallen in love with Bankotsu. The first time he noticed his feelings for the young boy was when they had their first kiss. The kiss wasn't at all any sign of either guy loving the other. It was a mere practice kiss for Bankotsu. He was having problems kissing a girl for the first time. Jakotsu had brought up the idea to help the young boy. Bankotsu, of course, was completely shocked and said he wasn't in any way interested in men.

"I know you're not interested in men but it's only a practice kiss, okay," Jakotsu said. "Okay, but only one kiss." Jakotsu nodded. Bankotsu slowly began to lean down to kiss him. Their cheeks began to burn. "But...then again, aniki, you don't have to...if that is... you don't want to." "No, I need to get my first kiss out of the way and I feel more comfortable kissing you than any other girl," he replied. Jakotsu's blush became ten times worse. A lump formed in his throat. His heart pounded so faster and harder inside his chest, Jakotsu wondered if Bankotsu could hear it. Bankotsu's heart began to beat harder and faster with Jakotsu's. 'I can't lie to myself anymore. I'm in love with...Jakotsu. If I wasn't I wouldn't have said what I just did. Damn it! I...I have tell him. But how that hell am I going to that if I can't even kiss a freaking girl-' Bankotsu's thoughts were disturbed by a sudden touch on his cheeks. "Jakotsu, what are you-" was all he could get out before he felt the pressure of Jakotsu's lips. Bankotsu tensed up at first but he melted into the kiss. He soon wanted more.

He licked Jakotsu's bottom lip, begging for entrance. Jakotsu, of course, gave it to him. 'I can't keep saying I'm not. Bankotsu, the truth is...I...love you. I always have since the second I saw you.' Bankotsu wrapped him arms around Jakotsu, deepening the kiss. They finally pull away and noticed the situation was getting a little awkward. "Uh...um...so do you think you can kiss that girl?" Jakotsu asked. "N-no, I think I could use a little more practice if you don't mind," Bankotsu answered him.

"Has something been bothering you lately? You haven't been yourself for a while." Jakotsu shook his head and came back to reality. "No, everything is fine," he lied. The truth was that it was getting harder and harder for Jakotsu to hide his feelings for his friend. He would constantly try to avoid Bankotsu, if it meant being alone with him at anytime. It just wasn't the right time for Jakotsu to fourth and confess his feelings. His confession could ruin their friendship and could also leave him with a broken heart. An owner of a lonely heart is much better than an owner of a broken heart.

(A/N: If you listen to 80's music you'll know (or should know) that the last sentence you just read is a song lyric to "Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes. To be honest I'm listening to the song as I write this. :3)

"Jakotsu, I can tell when you're lying. So are you going to tell me or am I going to get it out of you the 'hard way'?" Jakotsu blushed and almost got a nose bleed. Bankotsu's 'hard way' was just about the same thing that Jakotsu did when he went after his prey just without all the killing and blood. In other words, sexual harassment if you want to call it that. So, yes, yaoi fangirls this means you will have your yaoi. "Okay, I won't use the 'hard way'. But," Bankotsu used beg, "please, onii-san, please tell me what's wrong." Bankotsu only uses beg when he really wants something. Most of the time with Jakotsu it worked. But this wasn't one of those times. "I said no." Bankotsu sighed, "I didn't want to do this but you asked for it." He grabbed Jakotsu hips. "Aniki! I've told you a million times not to grab me there. You know it's my...," Bankotsu tightened his grip, "...turn on spot."

He placed his head on Jakotsu's shoulder. "If you would just tell what the hell is wrong I won't do this." "No! I said everything is fine! So stop before I can't stop myself. I don't to hurt you."
