Chapter 8: Daikirai... Sayonara.
(I hate you... Goodbye.)
------------------
As the Sanzo-ikkou were fighting against Kougaiji's group, Ranika, Ryoko and Yuri were whispering behind Hibiemi's back.
Hibiemi was busy doing more sketches when she felt Ryoko's hand on her shoulder.
"Nani?"
"Daikirai..."
Ryoko's words hit Hibiemi hard.
"You're so annoying. We hate you."
Tears were blossoming in Hibiemi's eyes. She slapped away Ryoko's hand and ran away.
-----------------
As Hibiemi ran away, she tripped over something.
"It's just you..." She cuddled the white bunny doll. But a strange man in a lab coat appeared.
"Konnichiwa, Hoshizora-san..." The strange man smiled, "Boku no namae wa Ni Jen Yi... I won't hate you."
"Hontou ni?"
"Hontou. Come with me..." Ni took Hibiemi's hand, "I'll give you more friends... Better friends than those good-for-nothings…"
------------------
The scoreboard was nearly finished. The last fight was between Ranika, Ryoko, Yuri and.........
"Hoshi??"
Hakkai stared at the line-up. His sister wasn't there. But he somewhat heard her voice...
Destroy them... I hate them...
He looked up to find his sister in the special balcony for the person who has organized the tourney. And right beside her was Ni Jen Yi and the voice called again...
They've hated me...
Hakkai looked at the team they were about to battle. They looked happier than ever. He clenched his fist as he walked over to Sanzo.
"Sanzo, let's fight them seriously."
"Funny, I've never heard you talk that way."
"They've hurt Hibi-chan. You know how much I value my sister."
"As you please... They're easy to defeat. Anyway, why do you value her so much... She was the cause of your suffering as a child."
Hakkai paused.
