The American way, I suppose.

Author's Note: Now, prepare for MORE OOC!

"His blood pressure is fine; his heart rate seems to be dropping though." A strong and composed voice is heard from a distance.

"Do we inject the medicine as usual, now?" A woman's voice asked.

"I think I have to prescribe another type of medicine for him…" The first voice trailed off.

Hakkai's eyes opened to the bright white lights of the hospital before shutting them tight again. His eyes were burning from the intense brightness of the light bulb after being closed for so long. How long has he been asleep… and where was he?

Hakkai tried moving a finger before bringing his hand up to his face. It wasn't long before he heard a woman scream for the doctor, saying he's awake. Hakkai was oblivious to everything that surrounds him, not even knowing where he was.

"I-I'm alive…" Hakkai whispered as he stared at his hand.

Footsteps were heard rushing into the ward as Hakkai turned slightly and stared at their fac, though, from the way you were bleeding. I wouldn't call it a miracle, but you're lucky you're alive." The doctor said as he sat on the chair beside Hakkai.

"Where are Sanzo and Gojyo?" Hakkai murmured wistfully while recalling what happened.

"Your friends? They called to say that something cropped up and they couldn't be here to visit you or something… And one guy even threatened to shoot us if we didn't take proper care of you," The doctor said as he chuckled to himself and wrote in his log file.

"T-Thank you…" Hakkai said with a forced smile.

"Not a problem. Call me Kogaiji, by the way." Kogaiji said as he tapped his glasses with his pen and wrote into his log file again.

"I'll type out the report now, if you'll excuse me." The nurse said as she left the ward.

Soon, Kogaiji and Hakkai were left alone as Kogaiji continued writing in his log file. He then stood up and walked over to the door to lock it. Hakkai stared at him in confusion, trying to figure out what he was doing. Kogaiji walked back to where Hakkai was and squatted next to him before staring at him hard. Hakkai looked back and furrowed his eyebrows. He didn't know how to react or reply.

"I know your secret, Hakkai." Kogaiji whispered eerily.

"W-What?" Hakkai replied in shock.

"Lady Ami… NESS, Goku… I know everything. I also assume that your friends Gojyo and Sanzo went on to break into the NESS headquarters to save Goku." Kogaiji said as he pulled out a cigarette from his white doctor's cloak and lit it.

"What the- How do you know that!" Hakkai exclaimed in shock, now more awake than ever.

Hakkai edged back onto the bed as he tried to move away from this psycho doctor. Hakkai suddenly felt a piercing pain in his stomach as he attempted to get out of bed quickly.

"You were shot; you shouldn't move around too much…" Kogaiji said as he smoked on the cigarette.

"What do you want from me!" Hakkai asked a little too loud as he moved back to the corner of the room, looking around for things to hurl at the doctor, in case anything happened.

Kogaiji stood up and looked around, before dispensing his cigarette in a cup that was intended for drinking from. He walked towards Hakkai and put a hand onto the wall as his face was right above Hakkai's. The smell of tobacco and antiseptic spray infiltrated Hakkai's nose.

"Lady Ami was my wife, silly." Kogaiji whispered with a slight grin.

Hakkai's eyes widened with shock as he tried to find the words to say. Millions of thoughts were racing through his head at once. Was Kogaiji going to kill him? Was he in league with NESS?

"What do you want from me?" Hakkai shouted as he tried to break away from Kogaiji's tough grasp.

"You have to understand something, Hakkai…" Kogaiji said as he pulled out a knife from his cloak.

Kogaiji placed the blade near Hakkai's throat as Hakkai whimpered helplessly. The cold and smooth steel blade was pressed against Hakkai's hot skin as his blood rushed through his veins, preparing him for the deepeough grasp.

"You have to understand something, Hakkai…" Kogaiji said as he pulled out a knife from his cloak.

Kogaiji placed the blade near Hakkai's throat as Hakkai whimpered helplessly. The cold and smooth steel blade was pressed against Hakkai's hot skin as his blood rushed through his veins, preparing him for the deepest cut.

"…W-What do you want me to understand?" Hakkai stuttered nervously as the blade began to move around his skin.

Kogaiji chuckled and pressed the blade harder against Hakkai's neck. Hakkai could feel the pressure of the steel threatening to slice open his skin and make the blood gush out. Hakkai shut his eyes tight, trying to convince himself that it wasn't going to hurt.

"You have to understand… That I'm no longer with NESS!" Kogaiji bellowed out loudly as he moved away from Hakkai and laughed loudly.

Hakkai was left in a state of confusion as the doctor dropped the knife on the floor and laughed hard and grabbed his sides from all the laughing. It was obvious that the doctor was out of his mind.

"What in the world are you talking about!" Hakkai demanded, now feeling a little less fearful.

Kogaiji looked up to Hakkai before bursting out laughing for the second time. He calmed down after a few seconds and walked towards Hakkai again as he cleared his throat and wiped the tears of laughter away from his eyes.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you the truth this time… Sorry about just now, I was only kidding. I didn't mean to threaten you with a knife like that. Sit down, sit down… Your wound needs more rest." Kogaiji said as he tried to hide his laughter.

Hakkai limped to his bed and sat down; his face full of confusion. It was only his luck that he woke up to such strangeness. Kogaiji swung the chair over and dragged it near to Hakkai and sat down; his face all red from laughing.

"Alright, let me tell you the proper story now… First, I think I better tell you how I found out you were attacked by NESS. While I was operating on you to take out your bullet, I recognized the very same unique pattern that was engraved onto the NESS bullets. I then checked around with a few old friends from NESS and found out what happened. And when your friends called, I assumed they were going after Lady Ami and Goku." Kogaiji explained in one breath as he smiled cheekily.

"W-Wait… You said that Lady Ami was your wife! Why are you telling me all these?" Hakkai asked Kogaiji suspiciously.

"Yes you're right, Lady Ami was my wife. I'm telling you all these because… I want to help you." Kogaiji said, a little serious this time.

"Why would you even help me, a person trying to oppose your ex-wife?" Hakkai said as he snorted and looked away.

"Look, you don't really need the knife to understand, do you? NESS ruined my life! Ami told me we could start a big production researching the development of the human cycle! And now… look what happened." Kogaiji exclaimed as he shook his head in disgust of his words.

Hakkai paused as he reflected upon the words that Kogaiji were saying. He didn't know whether to believe him or not… But even if he was, what good could Kogaiji get out of this? Hakkai didn't know… But now, he wanted to help Sanzo and Gojyo. He was mad at them for leaving him behind like that.

"How do you plan to help me?" Hakkai asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Why… I bet you're planning to infiltrate the headquarters as well, right?" Kogaiji replied with a question.

"Whoever made you think that?" Hakkai said as he rolled his eyes. He was still pretty annoyed with Kogaiji for trying to be funny with him earlier on.

"Wow, and I thought your friendship with those guys were strong." Kogaiji murmured as he shook his head, stood up, and proceeded to leave.

As Kogaiji started to open the ward door, something prodded Hakkai to stop him. Hakkai wanted to find Gojyo and Sanzo; Goku too. He didn't want any of them to die in there. They still had a big future a head of them… and Hakkai was determined to either save them, or die with them.

"W-Wait," Hakkai muttered reluctantly from the bed.

Kogaiji's lips curled into a smile as he removed his hand from the door knob land lightly stuffed them back into his pockets. He then swung around and leaned against the door, now facing Hakkai, waiting for the latter to speak.

"Fine… I do want to find them, alright? I just don't know how." Hakkai mumbled angrily.

"Now that's where I come in! I'll tell you how… It's my chance to bring NESS down, and I will!" Kogaiji said with a small chuckle as he clapped his hands happily.

Hakkai shook his head as he tried to pluck the dripper out of his veins. His vision blurred as the pain kicked in.

"That's a doctor's job, you idiot. More pain combined with your original might make you faint." Kogaiji said before chuckling and removing the dripper from Hakkai's hand professionally.

Hakkai muttered simple thanks and rolled his eyes. He has never felt so annoyed in his life before, even with Sanzo and Gojyo's tantrums here and there.

"You rest here for one more night. Your wound needs it. And tomorrow, I give you the rundown on bringing down NESS. Rest well, and prepare yourself." Kogaiji explained as he proceeded to leave the ward.

This time, Hakkai let him leave without any further questions. He needed all the time to himself that he could get. This was simply too strange. How can he just wake up to find such a crazy man? And it's his doctor, at that! And since when did doctors smoke? This was all getting too crazy for Hakkai.

"I better sleep…" Hakkai mumbled to himself before covering his head with his pillow angrily. And slowly, his mind began to drift off to an unknown realm of peace.

-----

Kogaiji made a cup of coffee in the pantry as he thought about what happened between him and Hakkai earlier on. He chuckled slightly at the thought of how fearful Hakkai was at that point of time. He sat down on the table and stirred a cube of sugar into the hot coffee.

"Now when was the last time I had so much fun…?" Kogaiji wondered out loud to himself as he continued to stir his coffee unconsciously.

Flashback: (Note, this part takes place about a hundred years back from present point.)

"Guess who?" A crystal clear voice popped from behind.

Kogaiji's eyes were covered by someone's small hands as the person behind him leaned close to him.

"Ami… Come on! Stop playing games!" Kogaiji whined as he removed her hands from his eyes.

Ami laughed as Kogaiji turned around and wagged his finger playfully before tackling her. They both fell onto the grass and laughed out loud, enjoying the best days of their lives.

"You made me wait for an hour!" Kogaiji complained as he frowned.

"Well… That's because I got you a present!" Ami declared with a huge grin as she took out a small parcel from her yukata.

Kogaiji sat at the riverbank, over looking the sparkling water as the sun prepared to set. The birds started to fly back to the trees, chirping merrily.

"What's that?" Kogaiji asked as he put his arms around Ami's neck.

"Hush… It's a surprise. I saved up for three months before buying it! Now, close your eyes… Or I won't show it to you!" Ami said happily as she giggled.

Kogaiji shut his eyes, anticipating the gift that Ami bought him. It has been one year of bliss since he met Ami at the local tea house where she was just a mere waitress trying to avoid getting groped by horny old men, and also attending to the each and every requests of the high and mighty geishas who patronized the tea parties that the tea house held. Ami was often abused by the owner of the tea house, claiming that she worked too slowly and inefficiently.

Soon, Kogaiji felt Ami's hands slip around his neck before feeling a cold hard item pressing onto his neck. Attempting to cheat and peek, Ami immediately shut his eyes again and whispered.

"It's not over yet!"

She then put her arms around his neck again and brought him close to her. Within seconds, Kogaiji felt her soft lips onto his. Kogaiji opened his eyes in shock and backed away as Ami giggled hard, almost falling onto the floor.

"What, are you that shy?" Ami asked as she put her hands on her hips.

"N-No… but… erm…" Kogaiji attempted to reply as he gained composure.

Ami laughed again and walked towards Kogaiji before grabbing the chain she just put around his neck. It was a beautiful metal chain with a traditional locket. She smiled gently and looked up at Kogaiji, who was now smiling back with all his gratitude.

"I don't know what I'd do without you, Ami…" Kogaiji murmured as Ami nuzzled him on his neck.

"You smell nice today…" Ami replied, completely out of point.

"I always do, what are you talking about?" Kogaiji retorted with a small laugh.

Ami looked up at Kogaiji, tears threatening to spill onto her lovely face.

"I-I don't ever want to leave you, Kogaiji… You've been so good to me." Ami stuttered as she blinked away a tear.

"You won't ever lose me. I'll always follow you, always be here for you… No matter where you go or what you do, or even if you find me a nuisance, I'll forever stick to you… I love you," Kogaiji whispered into her ear.

Ami's eyes started to water as Kogaiji pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her before kissing her lightly. Ami's heart raced, threatening to burst from the ribcage enclosing it. She has never felt so in love before.

"Forever…" Was what Ami said after they pulled away from each other.

-----

"Forever indeed…" Kogaiji chuckled to himself while continuing to stir his coffee.

His hands found the chain which he still wore on his neck, to this very day, and fingered it aimlessly. He smiled as he thought about how the past… something which he doesn't do very often.

"I'm sorry Ami… It's probably my fault that you became like that…" Kogaiji whispered into his coffee.

"Who are you talking to, doctor?" A chirpy voice came from the entrance of the pantry.

Kogaiji turned around in surprise as he saw the earlier nurse from before.

"O-Oh, no one… What's up?" Kogaiji asked absent mindedly.

"A new patient just arrived from a car accident, we need your help in the emergency room, please!" The nurse announced loudly.

"What? Oh, okay, sure, I'll go there right now!" Kogaiji declared as he stood up from his seat and ran towards the emergency room.

The coffee was left on the table, holding the secret which lies within Kogaiji.
