6 To 1, ½ Dozen Another

One day I'm going to eat my gun. Of course it'll only be after I take out all those assholes first. Of the three of them the cockroach is the easiest to deal with-just throw a pair of legs, shitty smokes, or Hakkai at him and he runs off like a love-struck school boy. And God if he isn't clueless about that last one. Idiot.
Goku too, food, food, or a fight is really all it takes to distract him for a few hours, at least physically anyways. Just enough time to read the paper or take a shower. Fucking monkey cheats though, yammering on about whatever the hell pops into his head; he still such a goddamn kid sometimes and no, I wont stop treating him like one until he can fall asleep without trying to hug me to death. Little monkey.
The worst of the lot is Hakkai though and I don't mean the youkai mass-murderer side of him; that was vengeance pure and simple, I get that probably more than most. It's not even that he fucked his own sister. Getting close to the only person you can truly rely on because you know you're the same down to the DNA floating around in you, I don't know anyone, even Master, that I can claim as being that close to me. Ever.
No, the problem I have with Hakkai is his self-deprecating way of sabotaging every single good thing that comes his way. Do I think Gojyo's the right person for him, for anyone with an IQ above 10? Probably not. Do I think anything I'd say would change what's obviously growing between them? Again, hell no. am I even the least bit jealous of their closeness? Maybe. I'm not saying it's good or healthy, personally I think we may all be beyond saving, but if they can find happiness with each other for even a few days…well, maybe I won't shoot them just yet.
"Hey, Cherry-chan! Lend me a smoke."
Well, maybe just a little bullet.
