"Well? What do you think?"

"About what, Gojyo?"

"The house, Hakkai. What do you think about the house?"

The "house" in question looked like a two story abandoned fire-trap. The front yard was comprised of dead spots, holes and weeds. A mound of dirt, which suspiciously looked like a grave, could be seen near the back of the house. The front door, or in this case, the tree that seemed to grow there, stood open for the world. Windows were boarded up. The exterior of the house might have been white, or black or yellow or blue, but was now a chipped, dull grey. Shingles from the roof hung in all directions and the chimney seemed to be caving in on itself. Hakkai didn't even want to step inside.

"Gojyo," Hakkai asked, trying to keep his voice calm, "why did you bring me here?"

"To show you our new house," Gojyo grinned. "Look there's even a white picket fence."

Sure enough, to Hakkai's amazement, the fence stood solidly around the yard. Somehow, it managed to avoid the disaster of the house.

"Gojyo, this house is going to need a lot of work. It might not even be livable."

Gojyo looked at the brunette, disappointment clearly showing on his face. "But…"

Hakkai pulled the redhead into a firm embrace. "I appreciate you remembering about my dream house, even going so far as to find it. Just so you know, there are other houses."

"But this is the only one with a white picket fence," Gojyo said, pouting.

"Sweetheart, anywhere you are is home to me. Besides, we can always build a fence."
