Pairings: Lots of Jakotsu being... Jakotsu. XD Poor, poor Bankotsu...
Notes: Yeah yeah, I'm bad. I've got school, so shut up. Oh yeah, and for anyone who's read this already... part of the chapter got doubled for some reason. O.o I fixed that.
The next week went by quickly for Jakotsu and Bankotsu. They spent their days mostly just hanging around the house or bugging Inuyasha (all Jakotsu's idea of course), but they also went out a few times.
Today, Jakotsu was out shopping with Yura. Alone. Apparently, Bankotsu's birthday was in a few days and Yura needed Jakotsu to help her get some presents and a cake or something.
"I don't see why Bankotsu couldn't just come with us. He knows what he is getting, doesn't he?" Jakotsu had been arguing with Yura for over an hour, clearly displeased with being out alone with the woman.
"No, he doesn't know what he's getting." Yura said. "He just gave me a list of what he wanted; I don't have to follow it."
"But you are."
"So?"
"Arg. Bankotsu likes clothes, right? Of course he does. I will go get some clothes for him. You keep doing what you are doing." Yura laughed in amusement as Jakotsu stalked off to the other end of the store they were in.
"He sure is weird." She commented to herself, grabbing another thing from Bankotsu's list.
Jakotsu walked to the end of the store where all the men's clothing was. Flipping through a few racks, he wondered what Bankotsu like.
"Hmm…" He picked up a green button-up shirt. "No, I do not think he likes green." Seeing a blue shirt that was just like the green one, he decided on that. Bankotsu wore a lot of blue, so Jakotsu was sure he would like it. Not wanting to go back to Yura anytime soon, Jakotsu continued looking through the clothing racks, picking out a few more things for Bankotsu.

"Hey Jakotsu. Have fun?" Bankotsu asked when Jakotsu walked into the living room.
"Heh." Jakotsu jumped onto the couch. He had finally escaped Yura, who had made him spend more time with her. Apparently, shopping with her wasn't enough; he had to help wrap the things they had gotten as well.
Bankotsu laughed and sat down next to Jakotsu, who then proceeded to use Bankotsu's lap as a pillow.
"W-what the hell are you doing!" Bankotsu stuttered.
"I'm tired… and you are comfy."
"Umm… okay… Just be good." Jakotsu grinned happily and rolled over, so that he was looking up at Bankotsu.
"So, how was your day without me? I'll bet it was boring."
Bankotsu raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you a little full of yourself." He said, earning a hurt look from Jakotsu. "Oh shut up. Yeah, it was kind of boring. Inuyasha wasn't even around to mess with."
"That sucks… Where'd that cutie run off to now?"
Bankotsu just shrugged. "I don't know."
"Hmm." Jakotsu closed his eyes for a minute and sighed deeply. "You smell good Bankotsu. Like… sandalwood."
"Now what is this? If only I had my camera…" Bankotsu looked up to see Naraku standing in the hallway, smirking evilly as he looked at the two boys on the couch.
"It's, uh, not what it looks like… We were just talking."
"Sure, and Yura and I "just talked" all last night." Naraku laughed at the disgusted look on Bankotsu's face. "Whatever kid, I'll leave you two lover boys alone. For now."
Yura decided to show up at that time as well. She grinned. "Having fun Bankotsu?"
"What the hell people! He is just lying in my fucking lap. NOTHING ELSE!" Bankotsu jumped up, causing Jakotsu to jolt awake from the slumber he had fallen into. He glared at Yura and Naraku, who just laughed at his antics before leaving the room.
"Oww…" Jakotsu rubbed the back of his head. "What was that for?"
"They were being stupid… Sorry about that." Bankotsu mumbled, sitting back down next to Jakotsu.

The day of Bankotsu's birthday Jakotsu was awoken ever so rudely by a certain person ripping his covers off.
"Piss off." Jakotsu mumbled, attempting to get the covers back.
"Wake up! Right now! Yura says I can open my presents once you come downstairs!"
Jakotsu simply lay there on the bed as Bankotsu poked, prodded, and jumped on him, trying to remove him from the bed. Finally, Bankotsu just picked him up and carried him out of the room.
"Hey! Put me down!" Jakotsu's demand was met as he was unceremoniously dropped onto the floor. He glared at Bankotsu and stomped down the hall. "Fine, I'll go downstairs with you."
Bankotsu laughed and followed Jakotsu to the kitchen. On the table was an assortment of brightly wrapped packages, many of which Jakotsu recognized as ones he had wrapped.
Bankotsu picked up one of the brightly wrapped packages and shook it. "What did you guys get me?"
"Just have a look you dork." Jakotsu said, rolling his eyes.
Bankotsu tore the paper, and opened up the box that contained his present. "Handcuffs?" He looked at Jakotsu and Yura in confusion. "Why would I need handcuffs?"
Laughing a little, Yura promptly blamed the present on Jakotsu, who simply said, "Now you can punish me when I am bad."
"But... why would I need handcuffs?" Bankotsu still had no idea why Yura and Jakotsu were laughing at him.
"Seriously! What's so funny?"
Patting Bankotsu on the head, Jakotsu laughed and said, "I will tell you when you're older."
"Bu-"
"Here! Have another present!" Yura thrust a larger wrapped box into Bankotsu's arms.
"Oh, this is great!" Bankotsu said as he pulled the blue shirt Jakotsu had bought from the box.
Grinning, Jakotsu reached over and unbuttoned Bankotsu's shirt about half-way before the other boy realized what he was doing.
"Hey! What are you doing!" Bankotsu pulled back and, seeing as Jakotsu still had a grip on his shirt, the rest of the buttons were ripped from the shirt.
Shrinking back a little from the glare he was receiving, Jakotsu smiled innocently. "I just thought you might like to try on the shirt I got you! You will have to now, that shirt you've got on now is doing nothing to cover you up. Not that I mind."
Grumbling, Bankotsu removed his ruined shirt and put the other one on. "There, happy?"
Jakotsu pretended to be contemplating something. "Well... I think I preferred you without the shirt, but this one looks wonderful on you, so I guess I don't mind."
Bankotsu rolled his eyes and began opening the rest of his presents.
The reason this chapter never showed what Bankotsu was doing while Yura and Jakotsu shopped:
"I'm bored," said Bankotsu, sitting down on the couch and grabbing a game controller. "I guess I'll just play some video games." He then proceeded to play video games until Jakotsu got back.
See? Pointless.
