Jakotsu and Bankotsu have a Fight
It was a well known fact that Bankotsu, leader of the Shichinin-tai and Jakotsu, the attack captain (even though most of that was self proclaimed) were best friends. Buddies, pals, and inseparable to boot.
It was also a well known fact that friends tend to have fights.
But Bankotsu and Jakotsu? Imagining those two having fights was like trying to separate mood swings from chocolate. It just doesn't happen.
Unless it does.
As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours.
Bankotsu was holed up in his room, refusing to speak to anyone, and muttering profanities under his breath. Jakotsu was crying somewhere in his room.
Renkotsu, Ginkotsu, Mukotsu, Suikotsu, and Kyoukotsu waited patiently for them to stop fighting. It ended with one giant screaming mach.
"It's all your fault! Going after every cute boy you see, it's no wonder people think you're freaky!"
"Oh yeah! Who was it that insisted on attacking in the fog? We could barely see the enemies we were fighting!"
"At least you weren't side tracked by going all sparkly eyed at them!"
"Well why do you care!"
"Well, well, when you do, I..." Bankotsu trailed off and mumbled something.
Jakotsu's eyes widened. "Oh ooaniki, I'm so sorry... why didn't you say anything?"
"I was worried that our friendship would change..." Bankotsu whispered, sniffling.
"Aww..." Jakotsu went forward and embraced Bankotsu in a very tight hug. "Poor ooaniki. You'll be my friend no matter what you feel. Let's promise to never fight again."
"Okay..."
And the two pair went happily off to the sunset.
Leaving some very traumatized teammates.
"Was that...?" Mukotsu shuddered. "Tell me that was not a love confession."
Suikotsu, the resident doctor and smart person extraordinaire, looked at Mukotsu weirdly. "Um, no."
The rest of the Shichinin-tai looked at him expectantly.
"You mean you guys don't know?" Suikotsu's eyes widened. "Well, after Jakotsu has fun with a soldier, he has a tendency to go all happy and joyful, and well..."
The rest of them nodded wisely, finally catching on. "He drinks the last of ooaniki's sake, doesn't he?"
