Choice of Weapon

((Author's Note: BTW, I'm obsessed with Hakkai, if you can't tell…))

"Hakkai?"

"Yes, Ana-dono?"

"You use… chi, yeah?"

"Yes, I do. Why do you ask?"

"Um… Why chi? I mean, why should you use your life force? Why not something like… Y'know, what Sanzo uses? His gun?"

Goku and Gojyo both froze slightly, hearing this question, for they had been nearby when Ana asked the question. They looked at each other before turning to her. "Um, Hakkai… Excuse us," Gojyo said as he and Goku approached rapidly. Much to the youkai's confusion, both Goku and Gojyo grabbed Ana and drug her out of the room with her protesting the entire way. "Look!" Gojyo said to her. "There's a veeeeery good reason why Hakkai doesn't use a gun."

"That'd be Sanzo's gig, so, Hakkai wouldn' do that!" Goku said.

"Even worse, you remember when he had a gun when we first met, shitferbrains?" Gojyo shot at Goku, making the monkey blink in realization and Ana look at them in confusion.

"I don't get it…" murmured the electrically-inclined girl.

"The point is, is that Hakkai's ten times scarier when he's got a gun."

"Isn't that points?" asked Ana blandly, seeing it as a way to scare off youkai.

"…And he's… well…" The two looked at each other, trying to figure out exactly why it would be bad for Hakkai to have a gun.

"The main reason," came Hakkai's voice from behind the two, startling them badly, "is because if I did do something like have a gun, there wouldn't be anyone who could shield against incoming attacks. Not to mention, it's far easier to sneak a weapon into a building when you yourself are the weapon." The eerily cheerful smile he sported while saying this made Ana's eyebrows crawl up her head in her surprise. She looked at Goku and Gojyo.

"Now I know why you get freaked out with him having a gun. That's the kind of person you don't want having one."

Hakkai had the audacity to look slightly injured at the pronouncement. "Ana-dono, I'm hurt. Why do you say that?"

"Well… how can someone tell they're risking getting shot by a small, fast moving projectile if all you do is smile when you get pissed? At least you begin to glow if you're charging up to fire off a chi blast."
