Prompt Summary: Bankotsu plays the 'I'm the man' card.
As soon as Inuyasha had walked away, calling over his shoulder to help him collect large pieces of wood when they were done, Bankotsu turned toward Jakotsu with a serious expression on his face. "You will be staying in the cave with the women," Bankotsu informed him rather rudely in Jakotsu's opinion. Just because he wished he had been more a girl, it did not give Bankotsu the right to treat him like he was some weakling that would need more help than he could give. And while it might sound rude, that was exactly the way it was for those who were born female.
They were kept locked up within horses and wagons doing the cooking and cleaning; leaving the heavy labor to the men. They did not have the strength to be of any use in a stampede or heavy storm, but they also have not had to learn to defend themselves against the monsters that some men can turn out to be; thankfully. But he had, he was strong enough to be of use and with so few men left, they could use all of the help they like get.
How dare he treat him like he was some weak thing that needed his protection, no matter how much Jakotsu wished he was a woman, he still never would have been such a frail flower even if he had been born one. "What in the world are you talking about, Bankotsu? You'll need my help," Jakotsu insisted as he crosses his arms in front of himself; unknowingly looking very much the part of a nagging wife.
"This isn't up for discussion, Jakotsu. You are staying in the cave during the storm," Bankotsu insisted mimicking Jakotsu's stance; though somehow managing to look more masculine while doing it. Seeing Jakotsu was about to retort, probably close to losing his temper judging by his expression, Bankotsu decided to stop him the only way he could think of. Uncrossing his arms, Bankotsu locked lips with Jakotsu in a kiss that quickly turned from timid to passionate.
When they could finally pull themselves apart, Bankotsu rested his forehead against Jakotsu's as he tried to come down his heavy breathing. "You want to be a woman, Jakotsu, you can relate to them and want to be seen as one and that's fine. I doubt my feelings would be any different no matter what gender you are or were born as. My feelings are for you, not your gender, but if you want to be a woman, that means everything that comes with it. I will treat you like a woman, but that means listening to me and staying with the other women. And do not even try to manipulate your way out of it, it won't work."
