Summary: AU-What if Hakkai never forgave the demons for his sister's death? What if Gojyo had a weaker spirit?


He was a monster. That's what everyone called him: a disgusting being that should have never been born. He was called an abomination; a half-breed. These were just some of the more flattering comments that he had received over the years. Needless to say, when he saw the green eyed man on the lonely road home, he never expected to hear those words coming from that lovely mouth.

It was as if fate had dropped the man in front of him. Somehow, he knew that they were destined to be together. It had finally stopped raining and the moon was doing its best to outshine the sun. He could clearly see the green eyed man was in pain, saw the blood flowing freely from his body as he lay against a tree stump. As he got closer, the look on the man's face told him that no, this was not the missing piece of his soul.

"Get away from me you disgusting half-breed!"

Gojyo hung his head. No, this was not the man he had been waiting all his life for. This was not his one true love. He stood back and watched as the life drained out of the hateful brunette, the man that he could have loved. He shook his head and let the tears fall.

They fell for the life he longed for, but could never have. They fell for the supposed lover who would rather die than let himself be loved.

'At least he didn't die alone', he thought as he pulled the gun that he had bought earlier that day out of his pocket. 'It's for protection', he told the shopkeeper.

At least now he wouldn't die alone either.
