Chapter 1: Onii-chan
'The village was burning. Mom and Dad were killed. I wonder what happened to Onee-chan. I ask Kenji-niichan, and he tells me that she went to heaven. And so, I broke down and kept on repeating, "I killed her..."'
One nice sunny day, Hakkai was busy cooking food for the hungry, hungry people with him.
"I am starving, I need lovely foooooooood!" Goku sang as he rubbed his belly. The foursome was staying in a big apartment which they earned from their own money. "Urusai, bakazarou!" Sanzo slapped the ever-hungry youkai and suddenly, Hakkai was beamed up to Kanzeon's place. "Cho Hakkai." Kanzeon started, "I need you to do a favor for me, go over to Japan and take care of these two..." A whistle was blown! "Warning for indecency!" The ever-cheerful one said and whack went a paper fan. It had somewhat happened that Sanzo's fan materialized in Kanzeon's hand, "Just go get those.........what ever they are."
And so Hakkai was beamed down to a forest in Japan where he heard the sobbing of a girl...
"Onii-chan! Onii-chan!" Hakkai saw through the bushes that it was a pig- tailed brunette who was crying and right beside her was her older brother who tried to comfort her. Kana... Hakkai sighed as he remembered his own sister whom he treated as his lover. He stepped out of his hiding place and said, "The Goddess of Mercy has sent me down here to take care of you two. I'm Cho Hakkai."
"This village here burned because of us," The older one said, "I don't think the Goddess should have pity on us. I'm Kenji, my sister here is Sakura. Don't mind her crying right now, she's usually all smiles."
He remind me so much of myself. Hakkai wondered as he offered to carry Sakura on his back just to comfort his newfound 'siblings'. And so they made their way back to China...
A month later...
"Oi! Hakkai, were you beamed to the heavens to make hot love to a woman and come back a month later with fast-growing children?" Gojyo teased as he noticed the brunette siblings. The younger female sleeping on Hakkai's back and the older male reading a book. Holding back his annoyance and keeping a big smile, Hakkai said, "No. Kanzeon told me to take care of them." "Can they cook?" Goku asked. Bam went the paper fan... "He he. Let me introduce them." Hakkai smiled, "This chibi-chan on my back is Sakura, the one here beside me is Kenji. I guess I'll have put them to bed."
As Hakkai tucked Sakura, he looked over to Kenji. He put himself to sleep. Just so Sakura could sleep better, Hakkai removed the bands that were holding Sakura's pigtails. As he fixed up the younger like a big brother should, he heard Sakura murmur, "Sabishii... It's so lonely without okaa- chan and oto-chan." Hakkai smiled and held the small girl's hand, "Don't worry, I'll stay with you. And of course, you have a whole family here, too. Your big brother's here and I'm here with my friends." "Can you and your friends really be my family?" Sakura murmured drowsily. "Yes. Just don't mind their..... oh, you're asleep."
"Oi, Hakkai."
"Nani, Sanzo?" Hakkai asked the blonde priest. "I just overheard what you said about us being family." he replied. "Ha ha. We all seem to be a big family, all made up of boys. Gojyo and Goku make good brothers. You're like a father to them and I'm pretty much like a......" "Mother?" Sanzo raised an eyebrow, "Heaven forbid. You're an older brother. And I guess you'll mean a lot to these two siblings. Oyasumi."
"Oyasumi nasai, Sanzo." The youkai smiled, "How can I be a big brother when my hands couldn't even protect my only sister... Is Kanzeon letting me lose another, no, two other lives?"

'It's been quite a while since Hakkai-oniichan took me and Kenji-niichan in. I agree that Sanzo-niichan and all of Hakkai-oniichan's friends are also funny and kind (and a bit obsene). I help onii-chan with so many things but I can't erase the memory of the tragedy from my memory.'
"Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan! Oi! Get back here right this instant!" Goku cried out as he did a little hide-and-seek with the siblings. He already found Kenji, all he has to find now is Sakura.
"Goku-niichan won't find me here!" Sakura smiled as she braced herself against a cherry tree. "Cherry trees. They remind me so much of home..." She smiled as she remininced the days before the sudden tragedy. Unknown to her, her deep brunette hair turned into a sweet pink color and the blossoms of the tree started to fall. The petals moved even if there wasn't any wind. They danced around Sakura just as if Sakura controlled them. But as she continued playing, she suddenly heard, "SAKURA!!! I know you're around here..." The petals stopped dancing as Sakura's hair turned back to its normal brunette color. Goku and Kenji looked around the tree and there was Sakura. "Shimatta!" Sakura cheerfully announced.
"Oi! Chibi-chan! Kenji! Zarou! Get in here now! It's getting dark according to Mo...I mean... Onii-chan!" Gojyo snickered at the thought of calling Hakkai, 'Mother'.
"Coming, Baka!" Goku cried out as he took away the siblings with him.
"Onii-chan, it happened again." Sakura whispered to Kenji as they were alone in the bedroom, "The sakura petals reacted to me again." Kenji realized what was going on but didn't tell his sister the truth, "Don't worry. It must be an unknown wind." "You sure?" Sakura replied. "Sure." came the answer and the door opened as Sanzo came in. "Hakkai's asleep now. I'll be the one to tuck you in tonight." He said with a slight bit of annoyance as he tucked the little chibi-chan. He waited until she was definitly asleep and he began to walk out of the room. "Even if Goku, Gojyo and Hakkai are demons, will you kill them?" Kenji asked Sanzo before he went out. Sanzo smirked and said, "I could. If they annoy me too much."
'I musn't tell the truth... Not to Sanzo or anyone else here. No matter how close they are. Not even to Sakura'
