--------------------------------
It was a lame excuse and Bankotsu knew it. But not matter how the young leader tried, he just couldn't bear to turn Jakotsu away from his door.
Ushering the taller man into his room, he wasn't surprised to see him head straight for his futon. Sighing, Bankotsu laid down beside him and kept watching his every move.
"So, what kind of ghost was this again?"
Jakotsu paused, "Um…a big scary one?"
"So scary- you as a deadly, skilled mercenary can't handle it?" Bankotsu replied, his eyes narrowed.
He nodded, "I can't deal with the supernatural, Bankotsu! What if it sucked out my soul? What would you do then?"
Bankotsu sighed as he felt Jakotsu edging closer to him, slender arms going around his waist.
"Come on, you'd be sad if I got my soul sucked- wouldn't you?" Jakotsu continued.
Resigning himself to another night where Jakotsu had found a way into his bed, Bankotsu wrapped an arm around his friend's waist.
"Okay, you can stay. Just stop with the stupid story."
Jakotsu smirked, resting his head on Bankotsu's chest.
"Goodnight, Bankotsu."
"Goodnight, you soul-sucked zombie."
And at that, they both couldn't help but laugh.
