Chapter 6: Fuyu No Sora
(Winter Skies)
Kitto...
Kitto...
Kono sora wa shirete
Surely...
Surely...
These skies shall clear...
------------------
Hibiemi had the letter from Homura in her hands. It was inviting their Ryodan to the Spring Tournament. Hibiemi was thinking hard...
Who in hell would like to see freshmen battle a bloody fight?
The skies in Nijiyama had an omnimous winter color.
I hope onii-chan won't worry. Most probably, he already screwed Sanzo-san...
-------------------
In fact Sanzo screwed him.
-------------------
Back in Hokkaido, Hakkai and Sanzo were going around the shops for souvenirs. Hakkai spotted a cute looking white bunny doll.
"Kawaii..." Hakkai laughed, "I bet Hibi-chan would like this."
For once, after his night with Hakkai, Sanzo was smiling as he watched his lovers movements.
I'd never see that winter could bring about such a wonderful miracle...
"Sanzo..."
"Doushite, Hakkai?"
"What would you like?"
"For what?"
"Christmas."
"You, of course..."
Hakkai blushed. Sanzo laughed again at the contrast between Hakkai's blushing face and the green garments he wore.
And so, after a long day of shopping, the Sanzo-ikkou headed back to Nijiyama for the holidays...
-------------------
"OKAERI NASAI!!!" Hibiemi happily greeted the foursome as they reached the gates of Hoshizora Manor.
"Ah, Hakkai..." Tenshin Hoshizora smiled at his adopted son, "Just in time. We need a bit of help around for setting the house for Christmas.
"I'll help!" Gojyo smiled.
"Ore mo na!" Goku gleefully chimed in.
"Sanzo?" Hakkai asked the blonde who was looking at the old house on the other side. Sanzo's house.
"Eh... I'll go help." Sanzo went back to his emotionless state.
That house. I want to go away from it. It was where Komyo-san died. It was where I lived for so many years after I was abandoned. It was where my name wasn't hated. But I don't want to leave it alone. Yes, I do want to escape from it, but it pains me to leave it, too.
"I'll let you sleep in the guest room for the meantime..." Hakkai held Sanzo's hand, "I know how you feel. Don't worry, I'll stay with you."
Sanzo took Hakkai's offer as they walked towards the mansion, but before they entered, Sanzo whispered something into Hibiemi's ear.
"GOJYO! YOU PERVERT!!!" Hibiemi yelled in anger, chasing after the redhead and pinching him by the ear. Even if Hibiemi was a foot shorter than the ero-kappa, she had enough strength to land many punches on the guy...
"Yare, yare..." Both Tenshin and Hakkai sighed. Hakkai felt the soft package he carried.
"Hibi-chan! I have a gift for you!" Hakkai gleefully called as he gave his younger sister the packaged bunny. Hibiemi opened the wrapping and hugged the white bunny.
"Kawaii! Kawaii da yo, onii-chan!" she laughed as she ran towards her room.
"That was kind of you, Hakkai." Tenshin smiled, "You're really being a good brother."
"It's just my personality, otou-san..." Hakkai laughed.
As snow fell upon the small town of Nijiyama, the people held a Fuyu Matsuri in the school grounds. As always, Hibiemi went with her Ranika's Kawaii Ryodan, while the Sanzo-ikkou stayed together...
As the Fuyu Matsuri continued, Hakkai and Sanzo found themselves in a secluded place. The snow was white against the blackness of the winter night. Sanzo took Hakkai's hand in his and whispered,
"Merry Christmas, koibito..."
"Aa... Merry Christmas..." Hakkai smiled.
And as they shared a small winter kiss, snowflakes started to fall...
