What were the chances of me running around aimlessly at night and finding the hideout of the Band of Seven? Slim I'd say but hey, I have dumb luck like that. This place reeks of them. It has to be their base.
I prowl around the perimeter and at first I think no one is home; I move to leave when I hear a faint shuffling sound. Curious, I hop from tree limb to tree limb, then from tree to tree, as I circle the home. I get around back to what looks like a garden of some sort and there, in the light of several lanterns is their leader doing some sort of kata.
Bare-assed naked…what the fuck?
Who practices their fighting skills nude? Apparently Bankotsu, that's who, not that he looks bad in the buff…it's just…well…it's the last damn thing I expected to see.
I'm sure he has no idea I'm here. It's dark, I'm dead silent and he's focused on his exercise.
I should leave…
I really should make myself scarce…
I have no reason to hang around…
I'm so gonna be a hentai and stand here and watch.
It's as if his movements have me in some sort of weird trance. His form is damn near flawless… that statement applies to his kata and his tan little ass. Kick, jab, duck, turn…wow, he's really getting into whatever this exercise is. As he moves, the dim light plays off his skin in ways that's playing tricks with my mind…and my loins. I've never been one to have my eyes on another man, but damn if mine aren't following every move he's making.
This is wrong for so many reasons, but at the moment I can't bring myself to give a shit.
His movements begin to speed up and grow in complexity then, with an obvious finishing move he's done.
Glistening with sweat, he starts shaking his limbs, soothing his taught muscles. He begins a series of stretches and my eyes are once again watching his every move. Squatting, reaching, twisting and bending. Every move giving me a decent view of some normally obscured part of the mercenary's body and I'm loving it.
Abandoning any and all pretenses of leaving before the show is over I sit on the limb I've been standing on. He holds still for a moment before he twists from left to right several times and seems to be preparing for something. He bounces in place a few times before he does a backbend with the ease of a dancer. His feet never waiver and his arms never shake as he arches that perfect body into the shape of a crescent. He stays like that for a while, then in a show of agility and strength he kicks his feet over and does a series of back flips.
Oh, that was a nice show.
He's shaking those lithe limbs again before he grabs a bottle that has sat unnoticed by me, and drinks from it deeply. Done with the bottle, he sits down and starts to unbraid his hair, this takes a while but is so worth the wait. I would dare say when unbound his hair is longer than Sesshoumaru's.
He reaches for a pile of folded clothing and stands. Since he's walking away from the house I'd bet anything he's going to clean up.
Which means he'd be in the water…
Soaping up…
Dripping…
I'm so beyond help at this point I figure why the hell not? Onsen here we come.
