Jakotsu stared at his leader, unsure of what he was supposed to do. The inu had run off, and he was still sitting on the bed, in a very provocative position, twirling a piece of black hair around his finger. Bankotsu was leaning against the wall, Banryuu hanging limply at his side, his eyes closed and his breathing heavy.

"Aniki?"

Bankotsu's eyes opened slowly, and he murmured. "Yes Jakotsu?"

"What's wrong?"

"I'm tired." He sighed, putting Banryuu down in it's usual place and slowly advancing towards the make-shift bed. Each movement looked like it was painful for the younger man, and Jakotsu felt a pang of guilt and sympathy.

"Why don't you lay down, then?"

"You're on the bed, Jakotsu." Bankotsu teased.

"Is that a problem, Aniki?" Jakotsu asked, somewhat offended. He moved over, making room for his leader, and getting out of the provocative position. Aniki isn't in the mood for that sort of thing tonight. Jakotsu thought. It doesn't matter that I am. Extremely.

"No." He chuckled, sitting down lightly on the mattress next to him. Jakotsu pushed away a strand of the older man's bangs, smiling weakly.

"Why are you so tired, Aniki?"

"I don't know." The older man shrugged, leaning back against the wall, resting his head on the window pane and closing his eyes. Jakotsu smiled.

"Get some rest Aniki." He said, patting his head. "Lay down and sleep."

"Ah, but Jaky-chan, I know there's something on your mind. What is it?" His eyes didn't open, but he turned to face Jakotsu anyway, and the bourei could tell that his leader, if his eyes had been open, would be giving him a very concerned look.

"It's nothing important." Jakotsu said, trying to keep himself from sighing dramatically as usual. However, Bankotsu wasn't a moron, nor was he in the mood to be treated as such. He opened his eyes and stared at Jakotsu, a concerned, and agitated look drawing out the best and worst in his features.

"You're a horrible liar, and you're even worse at hiding your dramatic sighs. What is it?" Bankotsu repeated, moving closer to Jakotsu, moving back a stray piece of hair and lightly touching his cheek. Jakotsu closed his eyes longingly and sighed. Bankotsu chuckled. "Nothing, eh?"

"It's really nothing, Aniki, I swear…" Jakotsu stammered, looking away from the younger man, blushing a deep crimson. His breathing was getting quicker, he noted. He hoped Bankotsu hadn't noticed.

"That inu was bleeding a bit, wasn't he?" Bankotsu mused out loud. "Mmmm…I bet it tasted reeeeeeal good."

Jakotsu groaned, but stuttered, trying to hide it. "I don't know what you're talking about." He muttered.

"Mmmmm…that was a deep shade of red that inu was bleeding, wasn't it? Don't the darker shades of blood taste better?" He smiled, and he wrapped his arms around Jakotsu, softly breathing into his ear. His cheek was pressed against Jakotsu's neck, causing the older man severe discomfort.

"You should get some re-rest, A-Aniki." He stammered once more, trying to stile a moan as Bankotsu nibbled at his ear lobe.

"Are you feeling a bit…twitchy, Jakotsu?" Bankotsu teased. He lightly kissed Jakotsu's neck, and the moan wasn't even close to being stifled. Bankotsu laughed.

"Aniki, stop it and get some rest!" Jakotsu shouted, turning around to face him and putting his hands on his hips. His angry expression was met with a seductive one, which was accompanied by a very deep, passionate kiss.

Once Bankotsu had Jakotsu good and pinned, straddled, he laughed again as he started slowly removing Jakotsu's clothing. "What if I don't want to?" He whispered in Jakotsu's ear, kissing the place where the ear and the neck met. Jakotsu whined.

"But Bankotsu, you really should get some rest if you're that tired…"

"It's not fair of me to let you get all riled up and then take away your fun. I know how you get. Wear me out good, and then we can take a nap together." Bankotsu smiled, leaning in for another kiss. This one was met with much more enthusiasm, as the leader had finally convinced the older man that it was alright.

Jakotsu broke the lip lock momentarily, flipping them over so he was straddling Bankotsu. "Mmmm…"He chuckled, taking off some of Bankotsu's clothing this time. "Won't the others be a bit confused…disgusted…and concerned when they find us laying in bed together when they get back?"

"Oh, we'll deal with that when the time comes, now won't we?" Bankotsu said, laughing and pulled the bourei down on him for another deep kiss.

)(Uh...yeah. Fin, I guess? Sequel, mebbe, but that's all the fluff you're getting out of me for the moment. Gomen!
