Looking Back
"Auhhh... it's so damn fucking hot!" Gojyo wipes off the sweat on his forehead, then kicks the seat in front of him "when the fuck are we gonna get there!?"
"We're about half way... but we get a rest... its getting really late..." Hakkai stops the vehicle, and gets out the door to start camp. Then, suddenly stops what he was doing.
"What's wrong?" Gojyo asked his best friend, very worried. Kai has nothing to say, because she is fast asleep.
"I was just thinking... what if the same thing happens to you... or Kai... just as what had happened to Sanzo and Goku...?" Gojyo smiles… and pats his friend on the back…
"Don't worry… How about this… why don't we keep watch?"
"…Yea… but… what if it was you who was keeping watch and that while I'm slweeping the same thing will happen to you as it did with Sanzo and Goku… or it will happen to Kai?" Still has a worried face…
"You worry too much Hakkai… plus… Goku and Sanzo were sleeping not expecting anything… we will be awake and ready for action… so we can wake each other up if the other is in danger…"
"Yea… but…" Hakkai was interrupted by Gojyo who puts his finger in front of Hakkai's lips indicating Hakkai to be quiet…
"Don't worry… so do you want the first watch?"
"Definitely… because I want to keep a close eye on you two, since it's me they are trying to torture… I can't do any of this alone…" Gojyo smiles, and sets everything before they get rested… (just to say…they already ate their takeout…)
"O.K… Wake me up when something is up… you can leave Kai… she seems so peaceful…" takes a look at the little half youkai…
"O.K… sweet dreams…"
"Yea… night…" after a few minutes Gojyo was asleep… Hakkai thought, 'Who are these people that are trying to torture me? First, why are they wanting to torture me? Oh gods, please help me…" before he knows it, he was asleep, he couldn't stay awake… as if somebody put a potion or spell on him to sleep…
ooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOoo
'Agh...' Hakkai gets up and rubs his head...
"Aaahh!!!"
'No! It can't be… I'm suppose to be awake… Please…' He was back in his dream… however, this one was a bit different, he wasn't in the cell… he was outside of it. However, he can still see the four familiar bodies in the cell, Kanan, Goku, Sanzo, and… 'No! Please no! I want to wake up!'… and Gojyo who was chained on his neck and hands with his on weapon… "Guys wake up!" He desperately shakes the bars… then, he tried to wake himself up by slapping, pinching, doing almost anything he can think of trying to wake himself, but it was no use…
"Help me!" Hakkai notices that voice.
"Kai! I'm coming!" He ran towards the voice and saw Kai begging on her knees desperately in front of another person…
"Don't kill me... please!"
"Get away from her!" Hakkai ran towards Kai.
"Uncle! Don't hurt me anymore!" Kai pleading the other creature to not take her life away. Right before the other figure could make a move, Hakkai was in front of Kai trying to protect her from the figure. Unfortunately, the figure disappeared when Hakkai was there… Hakkai didn't care, he went and turned to Kai, "Kai… are you O.K.?" Kai was on her knees crying… As Hakkai tried to shake Kai to snap out of her miseries… he felt something as he touched Kai… it was blood… "Kai! Are you bleeding!?" he studied her, but she didn't have any wounds or cuts… not even a scratch… then, he just noticed… it wasn't her blood… it seemed familiar to him though, like as if it was his friends blood instead… And saw a little smirk on Kai's face…"Huh?"…
"Uncle!" a voice is heard… calling him…
ooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOoo
"Huh?" Hakkai wakes from his sleep…
"Uncle! Wake up! Go…" Before Kai can finish her sentence… Hakkai looked around…
"Gojyo?… No!" He gets up and starts to keep on yelling out his friend's name, "Gojyo! This isn't funny! Where are you!?"
"Uncle… he isn't here…" As she points out to all their things and surroundings full of blood… Hakkai noticed something also… there was blood on his hand…
". . . . ." Hakkai became silent, and tears began to form on his eyes…
"Uncle… we should get a move on…" Kai, looks deep into Hakkai's eyes… then to the horizon, "I promise you, you'll see them again…" she added a little smirk on her face…
"O.K… I guess you're right…"
"Plus, you don' want them to keep waiting?"
"But how can I do this alone? I mean, these people are really good, they… I don't know… you saw everything, but we didn't hear anything… as if we were somewhere else…" Kai didn't say anything, however, Hakkai did manage to go on… they finally reached the castle in the afternoon… well, it didn't seem like the afternoon for everything was dark and the aura was filled with the feeling of evil and fright…
"Wow… this is big… so this is where you killed a whole clan???… Uncle?" Kai looked back, Hakkai didn't have anything to say, because the castle just gave him bad memories and a really bad feeling… he was so freaked out that he didn't notice that Kai was calling his name many times… until he felt a tug of his shirt… "Uncle!?"
"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry Kai-chan… you were saying?"
"… Uncle… don't ignore me… I don't like that… well, why don't we go in… and find your friends…" she didn't seem so happy. They both walked into the tall building, "Wow… cool… so where's the room?"
"I guess this way… Kai-chan… be careful O.K." he said with such a worried tone…
"Don't worry about me…" she followed Hakkai up some steps…
"Kai-chan… we're almost there… Are you O.K?" He didn't get an answer… he turned… "Kai?" she was missing… "Kai!? Where are you!?" As he was looking for the young girl, "Agh!" he was hit on the back and collapsed…
ooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOoo
'Oww... My back…' Hakkai wakes up, well he thinks he is...
"Aaahh!!!"
'Kai!' He was out of the cell, he saw all his comrades and his lover…
"Help me!" Hakkai became alert, and ran towards the voice…
"Kai! I'm here! Don't worry!"
"Don't kill me... please!" Kai was on her knees crying hard…
"Who are you!?" Hakkai went in between the other figure and Kai… arms out determined to protect the young woman…
"Uncle! Don't hurt me anymore!" Suddenly, the figure came closer…
"Who are you!?" Hakkai said once more, ready for an attack… until he noticed the person and gasped, "No…" It was him… covered in blood… but not his blood… the blood had an aura of Goku, Sanzo, and Gojyo… his friends… his comrades… he had such a serious face, eyes full of anger and determination of death… as if his past self has returned… wanting to kill… "No, it can't be…"
"Uncle please stop! Don't hurt me!" Kai was begging on the foot of the dreamed figure of Hakkai… then, suddenly the dreamed Hakkai began to do an attack…
"No…" Hakkai wanted to stop, but then suddenly he noticed that he was the one doing the attack, literally… as if the dreamed Hakkai and him switched places… he tried to stop the attack, but his body wouldn't let him… he can see Kai with tears in her eyes and scared deeply… his attack was beginning to be complete… and aimed right at Kai… "Stop this at once!!!"
"Auhhh... it's so damn fucking hot!" Gojyo wipes off the sweat on his forehead, then kicks the seat in front of him "when the fuck are we gonna get there!?"
"We're about half way... but we get a rest... its getting really late..." Hakkai stops the vehicle, and gets out the door to start camp. Then, suddenly stops what he was doing.
