Title: Thirteenths the Charm
Pairings: Same ones as always, though there is a little flirting with a certain somebody on Jakotsu's part.
Notes: So here it is guys. This might be the last update for awhile, I start school soon and that will take up my time. Enjoy!
Ringing the doorbell of the house next to hers, Yura clapped excitedly. "I think I'll offer discount haircuts or something… I have to play with that hair!" Yura was still rambling about the new neighbors' hair, much to Jakotsu and Bankotsu's dismay.
After what seemed like forever, the door was answered by a young girl with long brown hair. "Hello!" She said happily. "Are you our new neighbors?"
Yura nodded. "Yeah, we came over to meet your family." She had stopped the clapping and the rambling, but her hands were now busily playing with a piece of string Yura had pulled from her pocket.
"Inuyasha! There are some people here!" The girl yelled.
A disgruntled looking boy came walking down the hall. "My Mom and Dad aint home, come back later."
"Oh no, it's fine. We want to meet you too!" Yura said, eyeing the boy's silver-white hair.
"Okay… hi then. I'm Inuyasha…" He said, adding "And this is my sister Rin," after Rin began tugging on his shirt.
Jakotsu giggled a little. This boy was just so cute! Yura was right about the hair, it was beautiful. But the thing that really caught Jakotsu's eye was the fact that Inuyasha had two cute, fluffy looking dog ears. "Hey there cutie." He said in a seductive tone. "I'm Jakotsu."
Bankotsu rolled his eyes a little. He hadn't known Jakotsu very long, but he hit on him enough for Bankotsu to be used to his flirtations.
"Um… hi?" Inuyasha looked a little scared, and backed slightly away from the doorway.
"Inuyasha, you do know it's rude to make guests stand in the doorway, don't you?" a calm, almost entirely emotionless voice came from behind Jakotsu, Bankotsu, and Yura.
"Keh, whatever Sesshoumaru. You people can come in if you want." Inuyasha stalked off into the house, attempting to get away from Jakotsu.
"So Inuyasha, where'd you move here from?" Jakotsu asked, walking close behind Inuyasha.
"We moved here from- ack! What the hell are you doing!" Jakotsu had begun to rub Inuyasha's ears, and he was really beginning to get creeped out by the other boy.
"Just feeling your cute little ears." Jakotsu smirked, his hands never having left their spot on Inuyasha's ears.
"It would seem you're getting along well with our new neighbors Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru said, a slightly amused look on his face.
"Oh shut the hell up." Inuyasha glared at his older brother and pushed Jakotsu's hands away. "Hands off the ears ya creep."
Jakotsu pouted and put his hands down. "Aww, you're no fun Inuyasha-kun."
"Keh, whatever. You came here to meet us, right? Well, you've met us. You can leave now."
"Inuyasha! Be nice to the poor boy." Inuyasha turned around to see his mother coming down the hall.
"Hi Mom…" he mumbled.
"Hello Inuyasha. Who are your guests?" Izayoi asked, smiling politely at the three strangers.
"Neighbors." Inuyasha said. "I'm going to my room." Before his mother could protest, Inuyasha ran upstairs.
"I'm sorry about him. I'm Izayoi." She said, reaching her hand out to shake Yura's.
"I'm Yura. We live right next door. It's nice to meet you." Yura shook Izayoi's hand and then introduced Jakotsu and Bankotsu.
"Well, it's nice to meet you all. My husband should be coming in here eventually, and then you can meet him as well."

"We'll have to have dinner together sometime!" Izayoi called out as Yura, Jakotsu, and Bankotsu left their house.
"Sure, that'll be fun." Yura waved goodbye to Izayoi and her husband, Inutaisho. Once they were back at their own house, and therefore out of earshot, Yura turned to Jakotsu and Bankotsu. "I told you those men had the best hair! You agree with me, right?"
"Yeah, they had nice hair Yura." Bankotsu said in hopes that Yura would stop talking about the hair.
"I liked Inuyasha's ears better than the hair." Jakotsu said happily. "He's so cute."
"Well, I'm glad you have a new friend Jakotsu." Yura said. "I'm going out again, so I'll see you guys later."
"Bye." Bankotsu said as Yura drove off. Him and Jakotsu entered the house and began to make something for dinner.
"So, you really like that Inuyasha guy, don't you?" Bankotsu said, smirking in amusement at Jakotsu.
"Maaaybe." Jakotsu laughed. "Come on; don't tell me you don't think he's cute."
"Eh, I don't exactly notice whether guys are cute or not Jakotsu." Bankotsu said. "He kind of seemed like a jerk to me."
Jakotsu draped his arms over Bankotsu's shoulders. "Come on, you thought he was cute."
Bankotsu glared at Jakotsu. "No, I didn't."
"Are you saying I have bad taste in men then?" Jakotsu pulled away in mock-hurt. "I am so offended."
Laughing, Bankotsu threw a bowl at Jakotsu, who caught it just before it hit him in the face. "You want some pasta or not?"
"That is a possibility." Jakotsu said, grabbing the sauce from the fridge.
"You know," Jakotsu started once they had begun eating their pasta. "You can't avoid the facts forever."
"What facts?"
"The ones about Inuyasha being cute, and you agreeing with me." Jakotsu laughed as Bankotsu glared at him. "Okay, whatever. Be in denial."
"How would you know who I thought was cute or not? You've only known me for what? Two days?"
After pausing for a minute to take what Bankotsu had said into serious consideration, Jakotsu answered. "Gaydar."
Smiling innocently at Bankotsu as he, once again, was glared at, Jakotsu got up from the table. "I think I'm going to go take a shower, want to join me?"
Blushing like mad, Bankotsu picked up his fork. "No, but I think you're really going to need that shower."
"Wh-" Jakotsu was cut off by a big blob of sauce covered spaghetti hitting him in the face. "Hey!" Jakotsu grabbed at handful of pasta from the stove and chucked it at Bankotsu, who was too busy laughing to notice food was being thrown at him.
"You know this means war, right?"
"Of course I do."

After about 20 minutes of throwing pasta and sauce at one another, Jakotsu and Bankotsu looked around at the now extremely messy kitchen.
"You think Yura'll notice?" Jakotsu asked.
"Probably, there's three cans worth of sauce everywhere."
"Yeah… we should probably clean that up, huh?"
"Yeah… I guess we should."
Grabbing some wet rags and cleaner, Jakotsu and Bankotsu began cleaning the kitchen.
