On to the fic!
**start**
"Hakkai-san," Yaone started, her hands trembling on her lap. "What would you do if you were in a middle of something?"
"What do you mean by 'in the middle of something?'" Hakkai asked, relaxing back in his chair. He ran a hand through the crop of silky black-brown hair on his head. Yaone giggled – it seemed that Hakkai was ecstatically unaware that he was good-looking; bringing her to the thought of how many women – through the towns they journeyed through – loved him.
"Yaone-san?" Hakkai asked, looking intently at her. "Daijoubu desu ka, Yaone-san?"
His soft voice made her snap back to reality. "Un. Anyway, what I was saying was, what if you were to choose between two peo—no—things that you really like. What would you do to choose?"
"I think I'd let my heart lead the way, or think about what object benefits me the most." Hakkai said casually, smiling.
"Sou…ka." Yaone said.
"BAKA NO BAKA NO BAKA NO BAKA SARU! SARU SARU SARU!!!" *thump*
"ABURAMUSHI!! AKAI ABURAMUSHI!!! OVERLY HORNY KAPPA!!!" *Thump*
"URUSAI!!!!!!!!! OMAE WA KOROSU!!!!!!!!!!!" *gun shoots*
"Maa maa…they're fighting again, ne?" Hakkai alleged in an amused tone. "Would it be alright if I leave for a while?"
"Of course, it's okay." Yaone smiled.
"Would it be all right if you could take care of Hakuryu for a while?" he asked kindly.
"Of course. I would be glad to." And with that response, Hakkai left, closing the door behind him.

"HAKKAI?!" Gojyo sputtered out as he stood on the bed. Sanzo suddenly stopped in his pose, holding gun in that cool sort of way, trying so hard not to snigger.
"Sanzo, daijoubu desu ka?" Hakkai inquired, looking at the blonde monk. Sanzo was still frozen in his position, coughing out small sniggers. "You have been acting pretty peculiar lately, Sanzo. Is there something you know that we don't?"
At Hakkai's remark, Gojyo immediately stared at Sanzo.
"Ore wa? Iie, nandemonai, Hakkai." Sanzo retorted, letting his arm fall back into its place.

What benefits me the most? Or maybe…*who* benefits me the most…doesn't that seem unfair?
Yaone had left her comfy seat on the chair to move onto the bed, moving nearer to Hakuryu. She thought about Hakkai's words.
Kougaiji and Hakkai – who will she choose? It was strange – weird in fact – to choose over two people. But the question still lingered on her mind.
Kougaiji was the type of person whom you think never cared about anyone. But he cares for his sister very much, for his followers, for his mother. But does the prince love Yaone back? Does he feel the same way? Will he be able to satisfy Yaone – satisfy her of her search for someone who cares for her?
And what about him? What about Hakkai?
He, Cho Hakkai, was the kind of person who you'd think was weak and frail because of his gentle nature. He has gentle nature of course – as some kind of penance for all the sins he had committed, being brought up from a Catholic orphanage. Patience of his can run miles and miles long, for is he is aggravated too much a cruelty of a special kind – brutal and vindictive – comes out of its hard-broken shell. A shell with smiles cast on its surface.
And Cho Hakkai was a good cook. A kind person – always caring for everyone and anyone -- he's so respectable, polite to all the people around him.
Another thing hit Yaone – he was just like her. She was the one weak and frail, and she needed his care, his concern – his protection. And that, the complete awareness of what she felt, what she now knew -- and what she needed – came in full contact.
He was the one to choose.
And he will be there for her.
No matter what, right?
Right.
But…
How can she tell him? Did Hakkai come into the complete understanding already?
She was still Yaone – Kougaiji's follower. She was just his follower, nothing more, nothing less. But she was something more to the black-haired man in green. She was just like a forbidden object – you love it so much that you can't have it. So this is what Kana means to move on. Move on with his life without her.
Their insults screamed in the background, but it never bothered him. He was potted in his own world of thought, pictures of her flying in now and then to remind him of what she looked like. How come… he had to fall in love with someone who is Kougaiji's follower? He is an enemy…for the Sutras and her. He was sure that Kougaiji was also secretly in love with Yaone.
Better tell her.
"Oi, Hakkai, doko e ikuno?" Gojyo asked, startled that Hakkai suddenly sat up from his chair he was sitting on a while ago.
"I have…something to tell to someone. I'll be back, don't worry." Hakkai smiled. He approached the door and opened it, revealing the hallway leading to the other rooms. He stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him, leaving the reincarnation of Kenren Taisho gaping at the door.
"Hakkai…" he said, his voice trailing at the end. Sniggering was the only thing Sanzo could do, which was really unlikely of the pessimistic monk, making Goku stare at him with interest.
"Ne, Sanzo…are you laughing?!?!?!"
**
Hakkai opened the door to see Yaone gently stroking Hakuryu, making him purr and coo as he slept. Kawaii desu ne…he murmured to himself, smiling that mysterious smile as he held the door wide open.
"Eh? Hakkai-san, shouldn't you be with Gojyo-san-tachi?" she asked, looking up from the miniature white dragon.
"I told you I would be gone for a little while, didn't I?" he said, amusement in his tone. "He likes you." He suddenly blurted out, looking at her.
"Nani desu ka?" Yaone asked in surprise, his words leading into thoughts that she didn't even bother to think about.
"What I mean is, Hakuryu likes you." Hakkai explained, closing the door. He laughed, thinking of what she thought about seconds ago.
"He does?" Yaone asked, now glancing at the small dragon.
"Aa." Hakkai could only reply. He wanted to say what he had in mind right away, but the expression was just – for Hakkai – complicated. At first, he just fell in love with his enemy. Well, not really, for Yaone was just his enemy's follower. And that statement makes her still an enemy to them. Besides, what would he say?
"Sou ka…" Yaone murmured.

Night had taken sunlight, making Goku remember his meals of the day.
"Ne, Sanzo, I'm hungry! Let's go eat dinner!!" Goku wailed, waving his arms.
"Urusai, baka saru!!!" Sanzo screamed, brandishing his paper fan and hitting the boy on the head.
"Itai da yo!" he screamed back, turning into chibi form.
"I think it would be a great idea for us to eat right now. I know even Gojyo's starving." Hakkai laughed. Yaone had gone to bed early, saying that she was full and needed rest. Hakkai complied, leaving the room and going to the infamous 'Sanzo-ikkou', which he is a part of.
At his remark, Gojyo's stomach grumbled, making Goku yell in triumph.
"See, Gojyo's hungry!! Ne, ne, ne, Sanzo!!!!" Goku continued, receiving a sigh from the green-eyed member.
"Yare, yare." Sanzo grumbled, standing up from his bed and throwing the newspaper on it.
