Dawn of the New Morning: A Gensomaden Saiyuki Fan Fic
Author's notes: Hello!!!!!! Just a quick review of what happened in the last chap…
"I often keep quiet when I'm at the Houtou Castle, observing anyone and everyone, keeping quiet unless needed to speak. I'm those kind of people." Yaone explained to the man beside her. "Really, it looks good on you."
So, there it is, our quick recap! And I can finally draw Goku chibi form that is… and Sanzo!!! Yay!!
**start**
"Sou desu ka…arigato." Hakkai said, smiling.
"So…did you kill a thousand demons?" Yaone continued to inquire.
"Ano…hai. Sou desu." Expecting a surprised look from Yaone, Hakkai glanced at her quickly for her reaction. But strangely she didn't react. She was still staring at the ceiling.
"Naze desu ka?" Yaone said, her fingers playing with the edge of the blanket.
"Why did I kill a thousand demons? Well…you see…I fell in love with my sister at that time, about three years ago." Hakkai started to explain.
"And then…?"
"I never knew that until she said it to me. And then one day, she was to be sacrificed to the 100-eyed demon. So then I went in his castle and massacred his clan, and when I got to Kana, she got my knife and killed herself before me. She just told me that she's pregnant with the demon's child. I killed 1000 demons in that castle, thus making me a demon." Hakkai finished telling his story.
"I see…" Yaone said with interest. "I'm so sorry for your loss."
Hakkai didn't say anything. As if what she said was enough for him.
"Iie. You don't have to be." Hakkai smiled. "Oyasumi nasai, Yaone-san."
"Un. Oyasumi nasai, Hakkai-san."

5th day
"Gojyo!!!!! That dumpling was MINE!" Goku wailed, waving his chopsticks at Gojyo's face.
"Oi, baka saru, I didn't see your name on it. Besides, the dumpling was on the serving plate, not on yours, you baka saru." Gojyo said knowingly, continuing to chew through the dumpling.
"Akai abura-mushi!" Goku teased. "That WAS MINE!!! Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine!" Goku continued.
"What are you gonna do with it?" Gojyo asked.
"A-BU-RA-MU-SHI!!! Gojyo wa aburamushi!!!!!!!" Goku teased again, waving a finger.
"Urusai!!" Sanzo said, veins popping out of his forehead.
"Maa maa…" Hakkai smiled, making Gojyo blush inwardly, Sanzo snorting. "Do shimashita ka?"
"I-ie n-nandemonai." Sanzo murmured, his hand holding his gun shaking.
*
The snow still continued to fall as the night over took the day, shadows appearing on the town's streets. As Cho Hakkai drank his usual Oolong tea as Gojyo and Goku fought endlessly. Sanzo was somewhere in the room, reading newspapers, smoking a cigarette, his reading glasses gleaming as his purple eyes ran over the characters.
"BAKA SARU!!!!!!!!!" Gojyo screamed, waving his fist.
"ABURAMUSHI!" Goku screamed back, making a face.
"Maa maa…oyamenasai desu ne…" Hakkai said calmly, still amused as he held the cup in his hands. Yaone was next door, taking a rest from the four days she went around town.
"He started it!" Goku wailed, pointing his figner at Gojyo.
"Nandeste?!" Gojyo said. "You started it, calling me a red cockroach!!" Another quarrel started and finally, Sanzo became fed up and stared shooting holes on the wall.
"Sanzo…" Hakkai murmured, smiling, sweat dropping at the same time.
**hours later**
Knocks on the door met the girl's ears, making her turn to the door.
"Dare desu ka?" she asked politely, standing up and brushing her dress off.
"It's me, Hakkai." Hakkai replied. Yaone eagerly opened the door to see Hakkai standing in the doorway.
"Hakkai-san," Yaone started, making way for Hakkai to enter their room. "I thought you were with Sanzo-san and the others."
"I thought I'd check up on you." Hakkai said kindly, sitting on a chair.
"You shouldn't have bothered."
"Iie iie…" Hakkai said. "Gojyo and Goku's busy with their usual little fights."
"Sou desu ka."
"Do you want some tea? I just drank some, but I'd be glad to make some for you." Hakkai offered, preparing to stand up from the chair.
"Iie, iie." Yaone replied, waving a hand. "No thanks." Hakkai eased back on his chair and relaxed a bit, letting Hakuryu sleep on his lap.
"You didn't get enough sleep last night, ne, Hakuryu?" he asked his pet, slightly stroking Hakuryu's fur. Hakuryu cooed at his strokes, snoring lightly. Yaone looked at Hakkai intently, observing everything about him.
Hakkai's hair was an interesting shade of black and brown, shining in the late sunlight as the sun began to set. His deep green eyes were focused on his pet, a hint of unusual kindness reflected in them. He definitely has a lean stature, but from his looks your first impression would be that he couldn't hurt a fly. He was so kind, so sweet, so caring, and so gentle – that even he cares for his enemies.
Yaone was right – the metal limiter clasps does look good on him. He was so handsome, by far the most beautiful of the four, by Yaone's point of view of course. Yes…beautiful. She knew it was strange to call a man beautiful, since the term was widely used for women. But he wasn't just cute or merely good-looking; he was beautiful. Beautiful in more ways than Yaone could imagine.
But something was concealed in Hakkai's beautiful deep emerald eyes. Something…something that Yaone could sense in a matter of minutes. She was sure that there was something – another side of him that crept her up a bit. She knew – yes, definitely knew – that there was a special kind of cruelty in his persona, a vindictiveness kept so hidden that only some people knew about. Malice he used unless he was ultimately irate. And yet she wondered how Hakkai could keep his temper, have his patience for so long.
"Do shimashita desu ka?" Hakkai asked, now looking up from his pet to the girl before him.
"Iie…nandemonai." Yaone smiled, shaking her head lightly. His eyes were on her, observing her back as she did.
Hakkai smiled and stood up, bringing the white dragon with him. Yaone followed him with her purplish-pink eyes, a complete realization coming to her.
She liked him.
She did develop great respect for this man who was laying his pet carefully down the bed. She later knew the man who has a dark past behind him, smiling to hide it all up. And now, she realized that she felt something more for the man. The man named Cho Hakkai.
She liked him – maybe even love him as well.
Iie…
Masaka…
Why does her feelings have to be kept inside her? Why does she fall in love with always the wrong person?! And the thought came to her, but she silently let go of it. Better ask Hakkai for questions.
"Ne, Hakkai-san…" Yaone started in a very small voice. Luckily, it was loud enough for Hakkai to make sense of.
Hakkai turned to her after laying his pet. "Nani desu ka?" he asked, now sitting parallel to her.
"Could I ask a question?" Yaone continued.
"Mochiron desu." Hakkai replied, now sitting back on the chair. Yaone finally decided on what to ask Hakkai…expecting a somewhat surprised reaction form him. Oh well, might as well try…
