Author's note: I've recently been watching banana fish and I fell in love with it. In this AU, Eiji lived in New York when he was a baby but later orphaned due to his parents got into debt and became Dino's concubine. Ash's back story is the same as manga and anime, also Eiji and Ash are engaged. Thanks to my beta Starling Hawke!
My AU episode notes: A fifteen year old named Eiji arrived at a mansion and was told to be the concubine of a mafia leader. The mafia leader is training Ash to be his years have passed, Ash cut ties with Dino while Eiji now with waist length hair now is free from his concubine past while Ash is preparing a surprise that changes both their lives.
Disclaimer: I do not own banana fish
Warnings: There will be mentions of rape, but there will be a lot of violence and use of guns. For those who live in the U.S.A. if you have suffered from gang wars, gun violence then please turn back only in later chapters (from chapter 2 onwards)

A black limousine pulled up in front of a mansion, greeted by two butlers. One of the back doors opened and out stepped a boy with a slender, feminine build
wearing a black shirt, dark blue jeans and caramel coloured trainers. His name is Eiji Okumura.
"Starting today you'll be papa's concubine," said one of the staff that worked in the mansion.
Motioning Eiji forward, the second butler prepared to escort him inside. "Come, let's get you changed into something decent to wear."

Meanwhile in the lounge, a teenager and an elderly man sat on the sofa. The teenager had blond hair and green eyes and was wearing a white shirt, with black trousers and a black vest coat.
"Ash, today there'll be a new member to this household," announced the elderly man.
He had a bald head with grey eyebrows and a thin trimmed white moustache across his entire upper lip. His clothing attire consisted of a black suit over a white unbuttoned shirt with red floral scarf and Navy blue shoes.
"Is it another mafia wannabe?" asked the now-named teenager.
Before the man could answer, the door opened and there stood Eiji, wearing a traditional noble kimono that was usually only seen on women. It was a turquoise colour with images of flowers all over - apart from the sleeves- while the obi was gold.
The elderly man got up from the sofa and stood in front of Eiji, offering his hand.
Reluctantly, Eiji put one of his own on top of the man's hand allowed himself to be slowly escorted to one of the chairs.
"This is Eiji Okumura," announced the man. "As of today, he will be living here as my concubine."
Ash, noticing that Eiji looked Japanese, decided to speak Japanese to the younger teenager. "Kon'nichiwa, anata ga koko ni sunde o tanoshimi kudasai,"
"Thank you," said a surprised but pleased Eiji. "Your Japanese is very good, I would say you're fluent."
After the introductions were made, it was time for dinner. The entire time, Dino kept an eye out for bad table manners from the two teenagers.

Later that night, Eiji was getting ready for bed while looking around his room. He had never been in a fancy room before. The double bed was decked out with a see-through canopy in pure white, barely enough to dim the light, though it's more for decoration than modesty. Three large windows overlooked the garden filled with Italian flowers such as Cornflowers and a pond (but looks more like a pool) filled with water lilies and lotus flowers, but they didn't compete with the view he could get by stepping through the French door onto the balcony. Another door led to a walk-in closet full of traditional Japanese clothing. 'Wow!' thought Eiji. 'This closet is huge'. The only other way to get into Eiji's bedroom room was accessible only by a key that Dino holds around his neck.
Once dressed in the clothes laid out for him (a translucent night dress that he covers with a fluffy white bathrobe), Eiji decided to go out on the balcony and started to sing one of his favourite opening titles from an anime he likes called Saiyuki.
"Sora ni sakura no hanabira ga harari harari to maichitte.
Ikusen mono toki wo nagame te itta.
Hikari kagayaku kono basho de itsuka mata yume wo katarou
Sakura no shita.
Yume no tsudzuki wa kimi ni takusou taiyou mitai na egao ni.
Mabushii hikari ni tsutsumareta saki ni mitsuketa tomo no kizuna.
Umare kawareta to shita nara raise mata kimi wo sagasou.
Katari tsukusenu omoi wo tsutaeyou.
Kimi ga oboete inakute mo kitto meguri aeru darou
Sakura no shita.
Miraieigou tsudzuite yuku darou chitte wa sakihokoru sakura.
Taiyou mitai ni warau ano hito wo omoidasasete hoshii,
Chirigiwa ni moeta utsukushisa wo wasurenai wasurenai…
Yume no tsudzuki wa kimi ni takusou taiyou mitai na egao ni.
Mabushii hikari ni tsutsumareta saki ni mitsuketa tomo no kizuna."
Eiji then heard the door open and went back to his room, and he saw Dino looking at him like he was from some fantasy world.
"You look breathtaking tonight," praised Dino, eyes hungrily devouring Eiji like a piece of meat. But unknown to the pervert, Eiji was looking at the ground in disgust, hands hanging loosely by his sides.
・ )))
It's been two years since Ash cut ties with Dino and saved his beloved at the same time.
'I can still remember that day like it was only two months ago', thought Ash, subconsciously playing with the engagement ring in his pocket.
・ )))
Eiji sat in Dino's lap, body on full display as he was forced to ride the older man. His hair had grown to his waist by then, but despite how beautiful it was, he hated it. To him, it was just another symbol of how he was Dino's possession since he was forbidden to cut it and still forced to wear clothing meant for women.
After reaching his orgasm, Dino forced Eiji from his lap. "That's enough," he commanded, cleaning up and then gathering Eiji's clothes.
Eiji looked at the ground in disgust while his caretaker dressed him like a doll in overly-complicated clothing, wishing that. and hoping that someone would come to save him.
Later that night, Ash and Dino argued over a turf war that went wrong.
"You fucking promised me that'll be no killings!" shouted Ash furiously."How many times have I helped you murder now?!"
Dino stared at his adopted child in shock as Ash left the office while slamming the door, unaware that the key to enter his concubine's room had been pocketed by Ash. That very same night, Ash left the mafia to start his own gang along with the newly-rescued Eiji.
・ )))
Ash asked for Eiji's hand in marriage. Eiji accepted without hesitation, watching in awe as Ash slid the emerald engagement onto his finger.
Author's note 2: Thanks for reading chapter 1! You'll have more chapters coming soon. I have left a glossary and translations at the bottom of this note. Also, the descriptive writing of Eiji's room was from a previous fic of mine. But there are obviously a few changes. Hope to see you guys soon.
Glossary
Concubine: a woman who, in some societies, lives and has sex with a man she is not married to and has a lower social rank than his wife or wives. In this case Eiji's is just a 'mistress' as in the canon, there were no mentions of Dino having a wife.
Obi: a broad sash worn around the waist of a Japanese kimono.
Sakura no Kinoshita: Was the opening song for Saiyuki OVA it was sung by English translation for this song is:
The petals of cherry blossoms are gently.
gently dancing in the sky
As I gaze at the thousand years that pass
The light shines on this place.
Someday it will tell of a dream under the cherry blossom tree.
I will entrust the continuation of this dream to you.
under the sun that resembles a smile
Translations
