I, Kagura Fuujinnomai do not own Bankotsu, Jakotsu, or any of the other characters associated with the Inuyasha series.
(Although I wish I did own those adorable, wonderful, super kawaii, sexy little sons of...ahem! anyways)
I get nothing from writing my Fanfics.
I am simply a fangirl who wishes to share her passion with the rest of the world.
- sincerely,
Kagura Fuujinnomai
(AN. My very first work of AU! This is a gift for Skittlez. Only she could inspire something this weird... So she and any shounenai fangirl lucky enough to come across this fic can Read, Review, and most importantly, Enjoy. )
Never Again
Jakotsu took a deep breath before reopening his eyes in order to glare at Bankotsu, who was, in his opinion, all too calm.
"This isn't fair..." He said, pouting. "I've done everything you said: I didn't tell anyone about us, I did my share to pay for the house and clean up around here, I even kept myself from ever even touching you in public!"
Bankotsu backed slightly away from him, thinking better of mentioning the fact that Jakotsu had, indeed, 'touched him in public', merely two days before. He couldn't have mentioned it, because Jakotsu wasn't finished with him just then.
"And now we can't live together just because your weird, dog-boy friend is close-minded and ignorant?"
Bankotsu sighed lightly, assured then that Jakotsu wasn't going to let go that easily.
He offered him a gentle smile, taking his lover's face in his hand and wiping away the new trail of tears that had escaped, rolling down and over the tattoos on his cheeks.
"Everything will be made easier if we're apart." He explained, wiping away another tear for him.
"We'll be able to slow down and enjoy ourselves. We won't have to hurry or keep quiet while making love and we can spend as many nights together as we want without anyone thinking anything of it."
Jakotsu remained silent, closing his eyes.
"And don't you think it'll be nice that we'll never have to say things like
'Let's do this now and quickly, because it might be a while before we get another chance.'?"
He gazed at his lover, whose eyes had slid back open, hoping to see him nod in agreement.
"Jakotsu this is hard enough without you-"
Jakotsu suddenly shoved Bankotsu from his lap, pinning him to the couch cushions and catching him by complete, nearly fearful surprise. He arranged himself atop his confused companion, sitting comfortably on him, his legs resting on either side of Bankotsu's waist.
Jakotsu placed his hands on his lover's shoulders, effectively keeping him pinned where he wanted him.
"Jakotsu?.." Bankotsu gazed into his eyes, finding the mixed jumble of emotions there difficult to read.
His heart told him to just shut up and listen, but something else was telling him to run, to get out of this position before he got hurt.
He chose to listen to his heart, and the only one who'd ever touched it.
"What are you doing?"
He questioned his distressed lover, calmly waiting for a reply.
The entire house seemed to fall into an eerie silence, the only noise coming from Jakotsu's choked sobs and the gentle breathing of the man beneath him.
Bankotsu's composure calmed Jakotsu considerably as he stared down at him.
His desperation and haste left him for the moment and he leaned down to give his love a passionate kiss, making it clear that he was no longer angry with him.
The phone rang yet again but Jakotsu completely ignored it, keeping his attention on the man below himself.
He freed him from his controlling hold, choosing instead to wrap his arms around his neck and deepen their kiss.
Bankotsu returned the kiss eagerly, reaching up to entwine his fingers in Jakotsu's hair.
He pulled the pin that held his bun together out, and dropped it to the ground.
Jakotsu broke the kiss and pulled back, allowing his lover to watch his hair cascade over his bare shoulders.
He knew that Bankotsu loved his hair when it was out. He smiled lovingly down at him, toying with his braid and causing him to smile as well.
"I love you." He stated, watching Bankotsu closely for a reaction.
But he just continued smiling up at him, knowing that Jakotsu already knew how he felt about him.
"Come with me."
Bankotsu's smile faded and he stared disbelievingly up at him, hoping he had simply misheard his words.
Jakotsu continued, returning his hands to their former spot on Bankotsu's shoulders.
"You and I belong together; we're two halves of a whole, incomplete without one another..."
Bankotsu blinked tearfully, casting his eyes from Jakotsu's before giving him a reply.
"I... I can't."
"Of course you can," he shrugged, waving it off as though he hadn't said anything.
He smiled down at Bankotsu, confident that he wasn't really considering living without him.
But his smile soon faded as Bankotsu's next words reached his ears.
"No, I can't. I won't..."
"Oh yes you will," Jakotsu retaliated, pinning Bankotsu's hands securely beneath his knees before continuing.
"You're in love with me, and I already know that. We can't hide it forever... One of us will eventually..."
He gave him a sly grin, leaning forward to whisper the final words in his ear.
"Slip up."
Bankotsu's eyes widened as he caught his drift, but he shook off the surprise, turning his head and catching Jakotsu's lips in another kiss.
Jakotsu pulled back, letting out an excited squeal before kissing him back, enjoying himself even more this time around.
He quickly became absorbed in the kiss, not noticing when Bankotsu worked his hands free and pulled them up to his chest.
Jakotsu broke the kiss after a few minutes, pushing himself back up with his hands against the couch so that Bankotsu could get comfortable.
"I'm not letting you go until you agree to come with me."
He smiled contentedly down at him but regretted it instantly as Bankotsu took his opportunity to sit up and roll over, successfully causing Jakotsu to fall to the ground.
He got up quickly, intending to turn Jakotsu's pinning technique against him. But before he'd had a chance to get on top of him, Jakotsu rolled over, shoving him to the ground and pinning him instead.
Bankotsu lay still, trying to keep eye contact with Jakotsu instead of wincing as he was tempted to.
He couldn't help but feel as though Jakotsu intended to harm him...
"We can make a deal..." Jakotsu stated, rather than offered.
"I'll feel much better about leaving if I know that you'll really miss me..."
"Of course I will." Bankotsu assured, keeping his eyes locked onto Jakotsu's.
"You already know th-."
Jakotsu interrupted him with a quick kiss, whispering two words before removing his right hand from his shoulder where it had been keeping him pinned.
"Show me..."
Bankotsu couldn't help but squirm a bit as his hand trailed slowly downward over his torso before coming in contact with the tie on his pants.
"Prove to me, just how much you love me..."
Jakotsu skillfully undid the bow-like fastening, sliding his fingers into his lover's pants before said lover rolled over, nearly succeeding in knocking him off.
But Jakotsu regained his composure quickly, returning his hand to its former place so that he was securely pinned.
Bankotsu didn't even have time to struggle before Jakotsu leaned forward and closed his mouth over the soft flesh of his neck, threatening to bite it if he tried to push him back off.
Bankotsu calmed himself, lowering his arms from his distressed love's body.
He took a deep breath, the constriction on his neck and chest causing him to wince slightly, reminding him just how like a snake his lover really was.
He racked his brain for something to say or do to Jakotsu to calm him, closing his eyes as he fought back his tears.
Yes, he'd admitted to himself that he'd love to be able to go with Jakotsu.
But he knew that he couldn't do that without making it painfully obvious to Inuyasha that they were together.
Not to mention the fact that he'd promised to stay and help Inuyasha pay the rent...
It couldn't work, not without blowing their cover and...
Bankotsu's thoughts halted as his eyes widened to the size of saucers, the sight above him one he wouldn't have expected in a thousand years.
Kagome was standing right beside the couch, stepping silently closer to ensure that she didn't attract Jakotsu's attention.
Once she was sure Bankotsu could see her well, she held up her cell phone, indicating that she was going to call for help by pointing to the numbers.
Bankotsu barely shook his head, clearly mouthing the word "no" to her.
Kagome shrugged helplessly, her eyes falling worriedly on Jakotsu before her head rose to look at something else which Bankotsu couldn't see. She waved a hand, signaling for someone to come closer to her and much to Bankotsu's dismay; Inuyasha was the one to respond to the gesture.
( AN. The world crumbles
before his deep blue eyes
The love fades
and is replaced with lies
The fear mounts
Tensions arise
His life ends
and finally he cries )
(AN2: I just noticed that I use the word "aisuru" more often then I intend! For those of you who also neglected to notice it -and therefore opted against looking up its meaning- I'd like to tell you now that "aisuru" is a Japanese word meaning something along the lines of "dearest" or "my love".
It's the main nickname Jakotsu and Bankotsu call one another, but of course, no one else really knows what it means.)
