Notes: [SPOILERS] Stuff about Chichiri's past, Hakkai's past and a fan fight. Heh heh. Poor me. I'm in the middle of the fan fight. Okay... BTW, sorry I took quite awhile to get the second chapter up! Gomen!!

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

Chichiri chanted a spell. He didn't want to kill his friend all over for the third time. "Hikou, I won't let you die alone again!" Chichiri grabbed Hikou from his back and continued chanting his spell. "Let me go! Chichiri!" Tasuki ran as fast as he could to Chichiri, trying to get him away from Hikou. "Be careful!! Tasuki-chan!!" Hakkai shouted. He used his ki attacks to fire at the water barrier. The water barrier broke when Gojyo slashed Hikou on his leg. "ARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" "KAN!!" Chichiri completed his chanting. Just then, Tasuki grabbed him away. Hikou dropped to the ground, turning into water. Chichiri ran to Hikou's side, carring him by the head. "Chichiri.. I'm sorry."

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

Hikou became water once again. And tears dropped down from Chichiri's eyes. "I'm sorry..." "HIKOU!!!!" Chichiri wiped the tears off his face. "I return to the water once again...." Tears were also coming out of Gojyo, Goku and Hakkai's eyes. Sanzo got up, and wiped the dirt off his clothes. "Thats that."

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

Sanzo lit a cigarette, and stood at the side. "Chichiri-san... Don't feel sad. I know how you feel." wiping out the tears in his own eyes, Hakkai smiled. "Its okay, I've lost someone I loved very much too. But I just couldn't help her when she was in need. Why don't you tell me what happened to you last time? Or do you prefer not to tell?" "I'm okay. Why don't I tell you at an inn? Its getting late anyway." answered Chichiri.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

"WAITER!! WAITER!!" Goku was impatiently calling to waiter. "I want this pork, this chicken, this fish...(it goes on)" "ENOUGH! Bakasaru!" Sanzo shouted at Goku. Goku waited for the food to be served, thumping his finger on the table. Chichiri and Hakkai were in a room. Chichiri was talking about his past. "I had a best friend, Hikou and a girl I loved alot. I went travelling for a little and I trusted the girl I loved with Hikou. When I came back, I found out that the girl I loved had fallen for Hikou..." Hakkai was shocked. "I was so angry and betrayed. I didn't know what I was doing, then I-" Chichiri paused. "I trusted them... I didn't know what got over me. I just did it.." Hakkai was even more surprised. "Then one day there was a flood. Hikou had fallen off a cliff, I was grabbing his hand, trying to pull him up. I was still feeling betrayed. The wind was too strong.. A stone hit my eye to give me this scar.. I let go..." Hakkai was trying to comfort Chichiri. "Chichiri-san.. The stone hit your eye, and it must have hurt. Thats why you let go, right?" "Yes but.. I shouldn't have, even if I died. I shouldn't have let go...."

"It hurts me so deeply to see you die, Kanan.." Hakkai was thinking about his past. "Chichiri-san, I did things that were reckless before too. You were that mask to hide your feelings deep down inside, right?" "It makes me smile all the time." "I smile all the time to hide stuff too. Chichiri-san." Hakkai looked at his hands. "I used a dagger and killed 999 demons. Thats how I became one myself too. It is said that if a person gets soaked in 1000 demons' blood in a day, he will become a demon himself." "But you killed 999. Didn't you, Hakkai?" Chichiri asked. "Hai. But the last demon slashed his hand and dripped the blood on me, making me a demon. Chin Yiso." "Then why did you kill the demons?" "Because Kanan, my wife and sister, was captured by them. But all I found out was that she bore the child of a demon, and she killed herself, right in front of me."

The food was served. Goku was calling Tasuki over to join them for dinner. "TASUKI!!! TASUKI!! Come join us for dinner!!" Sanzo glared at Tasuki. "No thanks, your owner there seems to be a little angry." "He's not my owner! He's Sanzo." Goku blurted out. "Keh' He's your owner! Nyah nyah!" "He's NOT!!" "Is too!" "Is not!" "Childish."

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

"URUSAI! YOU TWO IDIOTS!" Sanzo took out his fan. Tasuki took out his in self-defence. "Hey, Goku. Are those two holding some sort of a Fan Fight or something? I support Tasuki." "Me too." "Grrrr... Omae wo Korosu.[1] "

To be continued....

[1] In other words, it means... "I'll kill you."
