Here's chapter 6! Sorry it's taken so long, I've been busy. I would like to see more reviews you guys. Please review if you like my story! Anyway, enjoy the new chapter! Remember, I do not own Saiyuki.


'Kimiko, forgive and forget. Even though you hate the man that killed your clan, you seemed to have moved on when you met me….please....for my sake, forgive Gonou…'

Kimiko's eyes flew open, waking her from her dream, as she sat up panting. She touched her necklace and closed her eyes, saying to herself, "Chuusin….for you, I will."

She tossed the covers off her, swung her legs off the bed, and planted her feet firmly on the ground and stood up. She looked around the room a moment before starting to put on her dry clothes from yesterday that had been mended.

'Hakkai, do not hold on to hate. You avenged me, please, move on.'

'I can't Kanan….I can't….'

Hakkai woke in the much the same fashion Kimiko did, although he did not know that. He clenched his hands into fists as he lie on his back, staring at the ceiling.

'Kanan….if I forgive what they did to you…I'm afraid I'll forget you….and I don't want that to forget someone who made me so happy…'

He woke up Hakuryuu as he stood and walked over to the door, placing him in the hallway before walking back to his bed and straightening the sheets again.

Kimiko, on the other hand, stepped out of her room, dressed in a brown halter top with a black jacket over it. She wore tight, knee length brown shorts under a brown skirt that was split up the sides all the way to her hips. She tied her hair in a ponytail before taking a deep breath and walking to Hakkai's door, she only knew it was his because the others' doors where open. She smiled and petted Hakuryuu, earning a small 'Kyuu' from him before knocking on Hakkai's door.

The door opened after a few moments and her eyes met those of a glaring Hakkai.

"Yes Kimiko, what do you want?"

Kimiko sighed a bit before replying, "I wanted to apologize for my actions. I did have a right to be angry…but once I realized your motives, I realized they were no different than mine," she paused, touching her necklace, before continuing, "I know you have a right to be angry, but, I was seeking vengeance against you until I realized that the world is better without the people of my clan. I almost thank you for doing what you did. But I've come to realize that one can't live in the past. We can only carry what has happened and move forward, learning from what occurred. So, I'm apologizing for my actions and I'm apologizing for the actions of my clan and those men who took Kanan."

She left him standing in the doorway as she turned and walked down the stairs to get some breakfast.

Hakkai only blinked as he whispered, "Her actions were no different than mine? What does that mean?"

He scratched his head before getting dressed and walking down stairs to join the others with Hakuryuu on his shoulder.

'Maybe….I should forgive and forget….'


Sorry it's so short, but I hope you enjoyed it! Kimiko's forgiven Hakkai, will Hakkai forgive her? Stay tuned!
