“Ano sa” (kiss 5)

 

 

By kira

 

 

Author's note: the following AU is based on Live Journal's 30 kisses, and takes place in my “Homecoming” universe. My couple incase you haven't already guessed is Ban/Jak.

 

 

FYI: 30 kisses translates the title “ano sa” as “hey, you know...”

 

 

Almond's is a coffee house in Roppongi Crossing. It's a popular meeting place.

They were sitting around, during a break in the taping of Youkai's next music video, playing a game Rin called “ano sa.” The object of the game was to pick someone at random and make an observation about them starting with “hey, you know...” since the band spoke English instead of Japanese. Because Rin was the most familiar with the game, she went first.

 

 

“Hey, you know, Naraku, I didn't know you dated Jakotsu.”

 

 

“Yeah... It wasn't for long though,” he said and Jakotsu nodded. “Although, it was fun while it had lasted.” The keyboardist, grinning, winked at the cross-dresser, who shrugged in reply. Turning to his fellow bandmate, Naraku said, “Hey, you know, Miroku, I didn't know you were exactly one year older than Sango.”

 

 

“Yup. I found that out while we were dating and I wanted to surprise her for her birthday.” Miroku grinned. “Turns out we got a bigger surprise nine months later.”

 

 

“Honey!!” Sango cried as she playfully hit him. “That's not true!! Koji was born nine months after we got married.”

 

 

“I stand corrected by my lovely wife. Anyway...” the drummer smiled as he pulled his wife close. “Ummm... Hey, you know, Jakotsu, I didn't know you were dating our boss.”

 

 

The cross-dresser giggled. “Well, since you guys were all taken...” he said as they laughed. “Honestly, it just sort of happened over lunch and the rest they say is history.”

 

 

“May you two last as long as Miroku and Sango!” Sesshomaru chimed in.

 

 

“May we last even longer...” the cross-dresser said saucily amid much laughter. “Anyway, hey, you know, Inuyasha, I didn't know you really thought I was a girl.”

 

 

“Yeah, well, uh...” Inuyasha stammered, his cheeks flushing beet red. “You're really good at it.”

 

 

“Thanks!” Jakotsu said sweetly, playfully blowing a kiss his way.

 

 

“Yeah, whatever...” the rhythm guitarist rolled his eyes before continuing. “Hey, you know, Sesshomaru, I didn't know you have a thing for little girls and cross-dressers.”

 

 

“Ah, mon petit frere...I have a `thing' as you call it for many things.” Sesshomaru grinned. “Like stealing your clothes when we had gym in school, giving you noogies, making fun of your tastes in women... No offence, Kagome, Jakotsu...” the blond guitarist smirked.

 

 

“None taken,” they chorused.

 

 

“And uh... speaking of which, hey, you know, Kagome... I didn't know you were the one who talked my brother into dying his hair black.”

 

 

“Yeah... I thought it would good on him and it does.” She smiled lovingly at her husband. “Any-who... hey, you know, Sango, I didn't know Koji was a honeymoon baby.”

 

 

“Yup... Although the way my husband tells it, I was preggers the minute he kissed me after saying, `I do.'” She laughed and glanced at her friends, looking for the next player. “Hey, you know, Kagura, I didn't know that was your sister my brother's dating.”

 

 

Kagura nodded. “Yup... It's a small world as they say. Apparently they met at Almond's, ditched their dates before they arrived, and spent the night clubbing. They wound up knocking on our door at six in the morning, looking for a place to crash.” She laughed. “So who didn't get a turn yet...?”

 

 

Everyone pointed at Kikyou, who rolled her eyes at them.

 

 

Kagura grinned like a cat alone with the cream. “Hey, you know, Kikyou, I didn't know you gave up being a doctor's wife to be a groupie.”

 

 

Kikyou stared at her like she was not there, before smiling her tight little smile. “Yeah... I wanted to see the world and live a little before I died.” She stared at the cross-dresser. “You have a problem with that, Jakotsu?”

 

 

“No...” he said airily, refusing to rise to her bait.

 

 

Kikyou shrugged. “So I divorce Jakotsu's friend, Sui, and hooked up with Naraku. So umm... Hey, you know, Kouga, I didn't know...”

 

 

The game went about two rounds before Bankotsu walked over to them. As luck would have it, it was Jakotsu's turn to play. He smiled at his boyfriend. “Hey, you know, Ban honey, I didn't know you played guitar in your own band before you become a producer.”

 

 

“Yeah... We were called Samurai.” Bankotsu sighed and looked around at the expectant faces. “Hey, you know, you guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad news...” Ban said. “But we have to get back to work.”

 

 

Everyone groaned playfully at him as they got up and went to get ready to go back to work on the video. The wives took their places as extras while the band pretty much did the same except for Sesshomaru and Jakotsu. Since their first video together was such a success, they reprised their roles. So as the song played and Sesshomaru lip-synced the lyrics, they went through the motions of a couple in love. The longer Bankotsu watched, he harder it was for him. He could not believe how jealous he was feeling over what really meant nothing more to Jakotsu than another job. Unable to stand it any longer, he slipped away into the shadows and left unnoticed.

Bankotsu waited for the cross-dresser to finish taping, in his dressing room. Looking around, the record producer found the place just as outrageous as its temporary owner. His street clothes were strewn across the sofa while his make-up was carefully lined up on the dressing table, emphasizing Jakotsu's dual nature. Bankotsu smiled as he continued to look around, thinking he could easily get used this calm chaos in his life. Sighing softly, he sat on the sofa and closed his eyes while he waited for Jakotsu's return.

 

 

“Hey, you know, Ban honey, I was looking for you...” Jakotsu said as he entered the room and spotted his boyfriend.

 

 

Bankotsu looked up at him sheepishly. “Sorry, I had a headache and I didn't feel like listening to that song over and over again.”

 

 

“It's okay.” Jakotsu walked over to the sofa and picked up his clothes, moving them out of the way, and sitting down next to his boyfriend. “I don't think I'd want to spend the afternoon watching you kiss Sessh either...”

 

 

Bankotsu chuckled. “I'm that transparent, hunh?”

 

 

“Nah... You're that sweet. We've only been together for a month and a half and already you're jealous of anyone who pays attention to me. I like that,” Jakotsu said softly, putting his arm around Bankotsu. Leaning back against the sofa, the cross-dresser pulled his boyfriend close. Jakotsu held him while they sat there in companionable silence.

 

 

“Hey, you know, Sweetness...” Bankotsu said softly.

 

 

“What?”

 

 

“I could get used to this.”

 

 

“I know what you mean.” Jakotsu kissed the top of his boyfriend's head.

 

 

“It's nice...”

 

 

“Very nice...”

 

 

“Yeah...” Bankotsu snaked his arms around the cross-dresser and hugged him.

 

 

“Hey, you know....” Jakotsu said impishly.

 

 

“What?”

 

 

“I wish I could stay here forever...”

 

 

“Me too...” Bankotsu murmured, moving closer, and tilting his head up to kiss Jakotsu.
