Shichinintai Apprentice

Chapter 2

"Okay, then." He licked Jakotsu's neck. "Bankotsu! Stop!" Jakotsu's cheeks went a deep crimson. Ignoring his request, Bankotsu continued. "Ba.." Jakotsu was breathless. Waves of pure pleasure snaked their way up his spine. He bit back a moan. The sensation he was getting felt so good. Jakotsu relaxed himself against his temporary lover. Bankotsu took to him relaxing as a "you have to do better than that" sign. He moved his hands slowly down his uke's body to his lower thigh.

(A/N: Uke is a yaoi term. The uke is the one who recieves. Seme (another yaoi term) is the one who gives.)

Goosebumps formed under his touch. Jakotsu let out a gasp. His seme was forcing his hands between his legs and moving towards the hot skin under his yukata. He placed his hands over his seme's and pulled them closer. Jakotsu was losing his self control. 'Just a little closer. Only a little more. Come on! Damn it! Hurry up already!' He suddenly snapped out of his mental state and tried stopping Bankotsu's hands. But it didn't work. He tried as hard as he could but it was no use. Bankotsu was stronger than him. He was only able to slow his seme. 'Ban-chan, stop! Stop before I hurt you!' Just before Bankotsu's hands caressed the hot skin, Jakotsu screamed, "Okay, okay! Something has been bothering me! Just get your hands away for that spot before I fuck ya!"

Bankotsu removed his hands. "Was it that hard it that hard to come out and say it?" Jakotsu relaxed himself a bit. "Yes! I could have hurt you! What the hell were you thinking?" "I just was worried about you, onii-san," Bankotsu said, snuggling against Jakotsu. "Enough of the sweet and innocent act-"

"Well! I'm sorry!" Bankotsu played sweet and innocent again and puffed out his cheeks, "I just don't want you to be upset about something. You've been avoiding me so much lately, I couldn't help but become worried." He turned away to hide a blush, "Jakotsu, I don't like to choose favorites of my men but you're the most important out of all of them. Since my mom was killed, you were the only person I could really turn to if I have a problem. You're more than my friend. You're my 'onii-san'."

He turned back to Jakotsu and whispered softly, "My...everything." He leaned up and stole a kiss from Jakotsu's lips. Jakotsu was taken by surprise for a few seconds but quickly began kissing back.

Several minutes went by and many kisses were given, each with more passion than the last. Bankotsu finished up by giving Jakotsu butterfly kisses on each of his cheeks, forehead, and one last one on his nose. He looked his friend dead in the eye and said, "Jakotsu, I lov-"

"Hey! Bankotsu no Aniki! We need you inside," Renkotsu shouted. He let out a sigh, "Okay, in a minute." 'Why is it everytime I try and tell Jakotsu that I love him I always interrpted?' It was true. Whenever they had a moment like this they were always interrpted by someone. That someone always being Renkotsu.

After discussing the thought about the apprentice, everyone seemed to like the idea. The following day, the announcement was made to the current villlage where the Shichinintai were staying. The competition would be held in a week.

Five days later...

She was a young, happy thirteen-year-old with dark auburn hair pulled back in a high ponytail by a bow and beautiful sapphire eyes. Her wardrobe consisted of a sky blue yukata, red obi, white socks and sandals. She enter the village and took notice to the village men. Most of them were practicing their battle moves with katanas. "Maybe there's a battle about to start?"she said to herself. "No, that's not it, my dear." She turned to see one of the village elders. "Then what are they preparing for?" she asked. "A band of mercenaries who call themselves the Shichinintai are holding a competition to see if they can find an apprentice. But if you ask me it's not a good idea to even think about joining the competiton. I've seen what the Shichinintai can do. They're very strong."

"Then you're saying they'll hold up a good fight, right?"

"Yes."

She was excited. "Alright!" she exclaimed. It had been a long time since she had had a good battle.

The young girl practiced her battle moves as well for the following two days.

The day of the competition...

There was a great number of men and young boys who appeared. Jakotsu pecked through the door. "Wow! There are so many cute and sexy men out there. I can't wait to cut them all up."

"Okay, is eveyone ready? Renkotsu?"

"Yes."

"Jakotsu?"

"Hell's yeah!"

The animated sweat drop appeared on Bankotsu's head. "Ginkotsu?"

"Gersh." *Translation: yes.*

"Mukotsu?"

"Yes, Bankotsu no Aniki."

"Kyokotsu?"

"Yeah."

"Suikotsu?"

"Bring it on."

Half an hour later...

She awaited up in a tree for the last person to fell. 'Come on! Hurry the hell up!' She watched the band of mercenaries for about another minute or so until that last person fell.

"Alright, guys, the fun's over for now."

"Aww!" Jakotsu whined.

'Finally! They're done,' she thought as she slid down her tree.
