Patience
"You're such a pervert!" Goku threw the pillow at Gojyo.
It was late at night, but they didn't bother to go to bed. Goku was ready to find a late night snack while Gojyo was eager to peek at Hakkai in the bath yet again, at least that was what Goku thought. Gojyo was going for a smoke and a drink probably a lot. He had to get away from everyone, especially Hakkai. She was irritating him. He was still hesitant around Hakkai. She would deliberately avoid him and ignore any contact that he would make. But because Goku didn't notice the awkwardness between the two best friends, he had to take action over Gojyo's lecherous ways. He couldn't watch Gojyo drool over Hakkai any longer. He had to take action.
Gojyo glared back at the menace that attacked him. "What the hell, monkey!"
Goku threw the same glare, but it wasn't as menacing. Goku still had a baby face after all.
"You need to respect Hakkai more." Goku sat on his bed with a pout. "You like her don't you?"
Gojyo felt a stab. Even the little kid knew. Hakkai was right and Sanzo too. It wasn't a secret that he had feelings for her.
"Why does it bother you? I go out with other girls-"
"Its Hakkai!" Goku growled. "She's our close friend. I don't want anyone to get hurt especially Hakkai." Goku started to pout. "Seeing her cry was… it was terrifying. I didn't know what to do."
Gojyo eyed the boy. He had seen Hakkai cry, yet Gojyo hadn't. True, he wouldn't do well with the situation, but she cried in front of Goku?! Gojyo shook his head and walked out the door.
Before closing the door, Gojyo looked at him. "Don't worry. I'm going to the bar."
"You better be ya pervy kappa!" Goku scolded.
Gojyo didn't know why he acted this way with Hakkai. When they were living together, he didn't even bother. Then again, they rarely saw each other at home. She was usually asleep when he came home and Hakkai was off running errands when he woke up. Being with Hakkai 24/7 made him feel so excited. It was as if he had feelings for Hakkai for several years. He was holding himself back so long… at least that's what it felt like. It was like he was waiting for this woman all his life. The urge inside him was fighting. He couldn't suppress it any longer.
He looked up at the night sky with a frown. "I don't get it..."
A/N: Thank you for your time and reading this drabble. I hope you enjoyed it and please R&R! It would be much appreciated.
I don't know if I got this clear in the drabble, but the point I'm trying to make here is that the feelings that Kenren has for Tenpou is so strong that Gojyo has them. Of course, Gojyo doesn't understand since he has no recollection of his past life. I feel like it would be the same for Hakkai, but the circumstances around her are so different that she is still unwilling to give into those feelings again just like Tenpou.
