Jakotsu, bringing his hands up to rest behind his head, leaned back and stretched. Legs slightly apart, it was quite clear that he was thinking "happy thoughts" about his beloved Aniki-chan again. Totally ignoring the looks of annoyance Renkotsu shot his way, he daintily sipped his sake.

"Can't you conceal that thing?" the fire-breather finally asked. "No one, with the possible exception of Oo-Aniki, wants to see it."

Jakotsu stared blankly at him. "See what?"

"Your sword," Renkotsu said with all the patience he could muster.

"Jakotsutou? But that's back in our room, next to Aniki-chan's Banryuu…"

Renkotsu covered his face with his hand, slowly bringing it down. "Not that sword, your other one."

Jakotsu blinked. He was finding it hard to think straight through the sake induced fog, clouding his brain. Suddenly it hit him. "Oh…" He laughed. "It's not like you've never seen one before, Ren."

"True… but, I just don't want to see yours. Okay?"

"Why not? Aniki-chan doesn't mind…" Jakotsu purred. "And neither does Sui. I don't think the others mind too."

"Well, I do."

Jakotsu made a face. He looked away, ignoring his fellow comrade-in-arms for the moment, while he sipped his sake. "I know!"

"What? You're going to put it away?" Renkotsu made the mistake of sipping his sake when Jakotsu replied.

"No… I was going to tell you to take yours out too."

The fire-breather sputtered wordlessly as the sake went down the wrong way. Red-faced, he growled, "What makes you think I want to, never mind that makes no sense at all, since I asked you to put yours away!"

"Well, I thought you'd feel more at ease if yours was out too," Jakotsu explained. "And maybe if Sui saw it, you might get some later."

Renkotsu opened and closed his mouth several times, reminding the cross-dresser of a fish out of water.

"Think about it… Having seen it myself on several occasions, I know it's not a bad looking one. It's not too big, nor is it too small… and I know Sui thinks it's rather nice, so if he saw it… Ren, why's your face all red again?" Jakotsu blinked owlishly at him.

"I'm going to wring your neck, you stupid little bas-"

"Hey, Aniki-chan!"

"Hey, Sweetness!" Bankotsu said as he came over and sat down next to them. "Oh hi, Ren." He accepted the cup of sake his paramour handed to him, sipping it. "What's going on?"

"I think Ren likes my sword so much, he's going to make me a pretty ring for my neck!" Jakotsu gushed.

"Oh really?" Bankotsu dryly replied as his paramour nodded.

"Yeah…" the fire-breather said equally as dryly. "In fact, I'm going to start on it now." He got up to go.

"Thanks, Ren! I'll talk to Sui about thanking you properly for me!" Jakotsu called out to Renkotsu's retreating form.

"Thanking him for what?" Suikotsu asked as he came over to join them.

"You don't want know, Sui…" Bankotsu replied.

"Okay…"

"Yeah…"
