Looking Back
"Uncle…" Kai's eyes begins to soften… then, suddenly electricity came about her…"Aaahh!"
"Kai?" 'How can it be Kai… if she too is being tortured?' "Who are you!?"
"Help me! AH!"
"Stop this!" Hakkai went towards Kai, but there was some sort of shield…
"Don't kill me please!"
"No… everything is just like my dream…"
"Uncle! Don't hurt me anymore!"
"Uncle? No… but I'm here…"
"Ha… ha… ha…" Kai's torture was over, she was panting really hard on the floor… as she got up… and looked at Hakkai… there was emptiness in her eyes… then she looked down "Hehe…" an evil laugh occurred from her… she looked up again… the once emptiness was filled with sudden evil and the surrounded her was evil aura… "Uncle… I not finish with you… I still have two more prizes for you…" She looked at the cross that was left over… Gojyo fell hard…
"Kai?" he felt a familiar presence around her…
"O.K… what shall we do with this one? Uncle… any suggestions???"
"Don't do this…" Hakkai begged with pleading eyes…
"Hmph… you're no fun… O.K. let me see… oh… I got the perfect idea…" snap of her fingers… Gojyo collapsed and started to yell in pain… suddenly a picture appeared over Gojyo's aching body… of his heart… in vines… Kai smiled… "Remember this?"
"Can't be…"
"Why not? Chin-I-Sow was also my uncle… why can't I? Well, this time you don't have your friends to help… that stupid priest of yours won't be able to shoot the damn kappa… hehe… and the stupid monkey won't be in the way… Ah!" Without Kai noticing… Gojyo's weapon came flying towards her…
"No one but us can call him 'stupid monkey' … and… no one… but… them can call me 'kappa'…" Gojyo tried to keep the pain within, but it soon had taken over…
"Gojyo!"
"Remember… he doesn't have a lot of time…" Kai didn't notice that Hakkai ran up to her… and punched her… She began to rub her face…
"Get out of Kai's mind and body! You know what I'm talking about Chin-I-Sow!" Hakkai noticed that Kai collapsed…
"Uncle?" Kai began to regain consciousness again…
"Kai…" Hakkai was about to go to Kai and hug her… but something else grabbed a hold of him and started to lick his neck… he began to feel sick…
"Miss me?" It was indeed Chin-I-Sow… Hakkai gave him a punch… so he backed away… "Aww… why not?"
"Stop what you're doing to Kai and Gojyo!"
"Kai… hehe… she's the one who brought me back… she was the one who agreed of revenge when I told her about you…"
"Kai?"
"He tricked me!"
"No… I didn't… I told you we'd make him suffer…"
"Kai… it's O.K… Well stop what you're doing to Gojyo!"
"Ha! Why should I? You know I love watching you suffer…" Then he noticed some crackling sounds… it was Kai… doing some magic… on Gojyo… the picture above Gojyo showed that the vines around Gojyo's heart were burning away… "Why you fool! How dare you!" Chin-I-Sow made some magic form around Kai and made her fly into a wall…
"Kai!" Hakkai went towards Kai…
"I'm sorry Uncle…"
"Shh… Kai… don't waste your strength…"
"Damn, some niece she is…Why can't she be more like her father or anybody in my family? She is so fucking soft-hearted… reminds you of her mother, huh Hakkai?" Tension started to overcome Hakkai… he got up…
"Kai…"
"Uncle?" She saw Hakkai's fist getting tighter… and tears are falling on the floor…
"How… do we stop him? How do we get rid of this curse?"
"Uh…" Kai began to tremble…
"Ha! Glad you asked that question!"
"What do you mean?" Hakkai turned to Chin-I-Sow with anger in his eyes… but tears can still be seen…
"Well… the only way I go away… is if the one who brought me back kills herself…" Gives a little wink at Kai…
"No… there must be another way… Kai? Is there?" He saw Kai trembling…
"Like mother like daughter am I right! Hahaha!!! Oh yea… that reminds me… my last present to you so you can cherish for the rest of your life…" A snap of his fingers… Hakkai's surroundings changed… back to the cell of where Kanan use to be… He saw her stab herself over and over again… as if it was like a movie scene being replayed over and over again…
"Stop it!" Indeed Hakkai couldn't take it, but it wasn't him who had to burst out…
"Kai?" Both of her uncles were confused and shocked…
"That's my mother… I can't take it…" She did some magic… they were back to the previous place… then she formed a ball of magic… which transformed into a dagger… She held it pointing towards her…
"Kai no!!!" Both Hakkai and Chin-I-Sow yelled out… but both had different reasons to… Chin-I-Sow not wanting to lose his life once more… and Hakkai not wanting to lose another loved one… but they were too late… Kai stabbed herself… it gave Hakkai another flashback… but he snapped out of it… Ran to Kai to help her… Chin-I-Sow yelled in pain as he vanished… Hakkai held Kai close to him… she was coughing out blood… her stab went through her body all the way… there was no stopping her time of death to come… "Kai… why?" Hakkai couldn't help but cry and hug her close…
"I'm sorry uncle… for making you suffer so much… but I wanted it to end… my sufferings too…" She tried her best to hold the pain…
"But Kai…"
"Shh… Dear uncle… Being with you was the best I had in my life… due to that I didn't have very much of a life… but you showed me the right way… don't cry uncle… I don't want to see you suffer any more… because it makes me suffer to see you like this…"
"Kai…"
"Dear uncle… Hey, look at this way… I'll be going somewhere… to a better place… and I'll be able to meet mother…" Kai smiled… Hakkai did too…
"Kai… Chin-I-Sow was right… you are so much like Kanan…"
"Really? I'm glad… now I know that my mother really loved you… she probably still does just watching over you…"
"Kai… yes… I loved your mother very much… as I do you…"
"Thank you uncle… for putting up with all the trouble I've caused…" Before she can say anything more… she… died…
"Kai? Kai!!!"

'A year has passed… but this week is different… it isn't as gloomy as all there other years I've suffered… Kai… Kanan… I miss you guys so much…' Hakkai looking out a window as he does every year… hoping his lover… and now his niece… can hear him… But he doesn't know that two pairs of eyes are watching him from somewhere…
'Mother… I miss him…' two young women with wings looking down from the clouds… one with red hair and the other with black…
'I know… but don't worry… we'll be a family again… in the future…'
'I guess… I can't wait…'
'Me too… Oh I love him so much… and I can see you do too…'
'Of course… he is my uncle… he was almost like a father to me…'
'Hihi…yes… love you Hakkai…'
'Love you uncle…'
As Hakkai looks in the sky, he smiles… "I love you guys too…"
"Uncle…" Kai's eyes begins to soften… then, suddenly electricity came about her…"Aaahh!"
"Kai?" 'How can it be Kai… if she too is being tortured?' "Who are you!?"
