Suikotsu Decides to Change His Name
"I am," Suikotsu declared one bright and sunny afternoon. "Going to change my name."
There was a moment of silence.
"Great," Kyoukotsu chipped in. "Why?"
"Well you see," Suikotsu explained as the rest of the Shichinin-tai gathered around him, much like how children are drawn to a storyteller. "I have analyzed our names and decided that mine's, well, simply sucked."
Nobody blinked. Everyone continued to watch him.
"Renkotsu!" Suikotsu yelled and jabbed his finger in the general direction of him. "Tell everyone what our names mean!"
Renkotsu sighed and rolled his eyes at the way Suikotsu was ordering him around. Second in command his foot. "My name means refined bone, Kyoukotsu's name means evil bone, Ginkotsu's name means silver bone, Mukotsu's name means fog bone, Suikotsu's name means sleep bone, and our great ooaniki's name means barbarian bone."
"My name can also mean mist bone," Mukotsu supplied helpfully.
"Mine's can also be demon bone," Kyoukotsu added.
Renkotsu's glare silenced Jakotsu who was about to open his mouth to speak. What he was going to say was a mystery, seeing as 'Jakotsu' could only be translatedto one thing.
"Point is, everyone's name fits everyone, and sounds sinister or wicked in someway. But mine? Do you know what my name implies?"
"Gesh, that you shleep a lot?"
"Exactly!" Suikotsu roared. "Sleep bone? Sleep? What's sinister about sleep?"
"It could imply that they people you're fighting will never awake from their nightmare."
Everyone turned to stare at Mukotsu. Mukotsu muttered something about people being unappreciative and unable to recognize symbolism and glared darkly around him.
"So," Suikotsu grinned. "Now that everyone understands, I am going to change my name."
"Great!" Bankotsu clapped. "Jakotsu, pick a name for him."
"Why me?" Jakotsu pouted. "I had to choose everyone's names."
"Gesh, but don't you like picking people'sh namesh?"
Jakotsu thought for a moment. "No. Okay, you're called Nekokotsu now. For your claws."
Suikotsu twitched.
Everybody went back to what they were doing before Suikotsu's – I mean, Nekokotsu's announcement. And thus Suikotsu's name was changed.
Bankotsu changed it back to Suikotsu after Nekokotsu third attempt to kill Jakotsu.
