Sly, knowing jade eyes

His motives are mystery

He likes it that way.


Twisting, evading,

Smooth advance and retreat; oh,

The thrill of the chase.


In battle they flow

Innate, deadly cohesion

Of metal and chi.


They are a contrast,

Almost entirely unlike

What draws them closer?


The scholar knows why;

In contrast, they complement

And so become whole.


No open displeasure

But he's always stricken mute

By that flash in his eyes. (1)


Careless exterior

Inner vulnerability

So many layers.


A/N: more 85 poetry written in class. I must draw inspiration from geography. Every time I swear this is the last bunch, but the damn things keep coming. Ahahaha , as Hakkai would say.

(1) Remember the scene in Reload where they all played mah-jong after being beaten by Kami-sama? Gojyo protests and calls Goku names, and there's this quick shot of Hakkai giving him the I-killed-a-thousand-people-and-you're-next Glare and then Gojyo sits down tame as a baa-lamb. He's definitely the scariest of the four.
