Prompt Summary: Jakotsu tries his present out for size.

Won third place for prompt!

"I bought it while you were bathing," Bankotsu quickly explained when Jakotsu turned his infused expression to him from the still wrapped package in his hand. "I wasn't able to get you a hoop skirt, but it should still fit alright." Now thoroughly confused and anxious to find out more, Jakotsu ripped open the package to find a shirt and ankle length skirt, both in a light tan with small blue flowers lining the border, and a silver pair of pantaloons.

"I couldn't find any shoes to go with it that could also be worn while riding a horse. Heels aren't really such a good idea," Bankotsu continued to explain while his companion looked over the clothing in his lap. More than a bit shocked by the sudden gesture, Jakotsu couldn't think of anything to say for a long while and so he simply sat there staring down at his lap in silence.

Then suddenly, almost as though his adolescent fears of never having anyone think he was worth buying a present for had never existed, Jakotsu realized with complete clarity that there was no hidden agenda behind the gift. It wasn't in trade for something else. It wasn't so he would owe him a favor in the future. And it wasn't because he felt obligated to get it for him.

It was simply because he knew he would need it and decided to buy it for him. Realizing he was still waiting for him to speak, Jakotsu glanced up at him with a smile, "It's okay actually, these boots are really quite comfortable." Even as he spoke these words, he remembered just how uncomfortable he was at that very moment and decided it was time he did something about it.

Standing up, Jakotsu began unbuttoning his shirt when he realized Bankotsu was still watching him. "A little privacy if you please," Jakotsu requested, giving Bankotsu a pointed look and though he felt it was an odd request, Bankotsu did as he was asked and turned around. "So," Jakotsu began as he slipped off his shirt and tossed it aside. "What exactly is it that you are going to be doing that's so dangerous?"

"I am trying to track down the man responsible for the murder of my parents. He sent his men to kill them when I was just a child. I am following the lower level grunts back to their bosses and eventually one of those bosses will lead me to him," Bankotsu explained, deciding there was no reason to keep the truth from him; especially if he wanted Jakotsu to be willing to watch his back.

"Can you give me a hand?" Jakotsu requested causing Bankotsu to turn back in question only to find him standing there with his back turned; arms reaching out behind him holding onto the strings to tighten the corset he was now wearing. As Bankotsu rose to do as bid, he couldn't help but wonder exactly where the thing had been this entire time.

"Isn't that thing incredibly uncomfortable? Why wear it if you don't have to?" Bankotsu wondered even as he tightened it as far as it would go. Instead of answering right away, Jakotsu turned around even as he picked up his new shirt.

"It helps push up my chest muscles so they look more like breasts and it gives me a more feminine figure," he explained as he gestures toward his altered shape and Bankotsu couldn't help but agree that he did have more curves now; curves men weren't meant to have.

As he watched Jakotsu putting on his shirt, he couldn't help but notice that he was almost as muscular as himself. "I'm actually a bit surprised that you have such a muscular form. I would have thought you would avoid physical strength as much as possible since it's not really feminine."

For a long moment, Jakotsu just stared at him in silence before finally sighing and shaking his head at Bankotsu. Gesturing for him to turn around again, Jakotsu began removing his pants while he explained, "Being who I am, this is how I have to be. You can only stand being beaten for not really being a woman so many times before you learn to defend yourself.

"The first year I was at the saloon, I had just been beaten for the third time and my next customer couldn't afford his room so he offered to teach me to fight in exchange for the price. Of course I couldn't afford to pay for his room either, but worked it out with the barkeep to do extra work around the saloon for free. Took me months to pay it off but it was worth it the next time someone attacked me," Jakotsu explained and some how, even without seeing his face, he knew Bankotsu was sporting a look of pity.

Wanting to get rid of it before he actually had to see it, Jakotsu decided it was time to change the subject. "What do you plan on doing now that you didn't get any information out of your last lead?" Jakotsu inquired as he finished putting on his new pantaloons and grabbed his skirt.

"To be honest, I still need to figure that out," Bankotsu admitted as he turned back around and found Jakotsu had finished dressing and was putting his hair back into the style is what in when they first met. Giving him a once over, Bankotsu couldn't help but notice just how much he looked like a woman in his new clothing.
