Chapter 1: Kimi wa ki o suki?
(Do you like trees?)
Boku ga murasaki no hitomi wo jitto mitsumeru you ni, jikan wa koori.
Korera wa utsukushii.
Shikashi, totemo tooi.
As I quietly gaze at purple eyes, time is frozen.
These are beautiful.
However, they are very distant.

Hakkai thought as he gazed at the eyes of the blonde passenger.
"Nani, Hakkai?" Sanzo stared back.
"Nan demo nai, Sanzo..." Hakkai drew back as he continued on driving. True that Sanzo was one of his closest friend next to Gojyo. Gojyo was more reckless but nonetheless, he knew what was behind Hakkai's smiling face. But Sanzo was a different story, being Hakkai's neighbor ever since... ever since... no.
"It's not worth remembering." Hakkai murmured as they stopped in front of Gojyo's house.
"Sore ja, Jien!" Gojyo waved to his brother as he hopped into the jeep.
Gojyo smiled as he put his arms around the two men, "So! How's our Hakuryuu today?"
"It's fine." Hakkai beamed.
"Now get your arms off us... NOW!" Sanzo said, pissed off as usual.
And so they drove towards Goku's house and picked Goku up. And off they went to school...
----------
Meanwhile, Hibiemi was staring out of the classroom window during japanese period. Their teacher was reciting to them a nature haiku.
"Aren't trees lovely?" a note passed to her said. She got her pen and wrote in fine kanji.
Kirei.

"The trees are looking like fire this time of year." Goku commented.
"Agree!" Hakkai happily commented, "Sooner or later, snow would fall."
Gojyo laughed, "Let's say we go skiing. It'll be nice to get you away from Hibi."
"And it'll be nice to see the snow, ne Sanzo?" Hakkai commented.
Sanzo looked at him without emotion.
I'll make sure you'll be warm... Hakkai said in his mind.
