Chapter 2: Smile for Me

I watched Hakkai as he came out of Sanzo's room. I asked him how he was. All he did was smile and say, "He's okay. You don't need to worry."

I wished I could have helped Sanzo like Hakkai did... I'm not sure, but I felt quite jealous. I was jealous. Maybe they have been sharing secrets that I don't know about! But of all of these, I was jealous because maybe Sanzo was smiling for Hakkai. Just for Hakkai. Not for me. But all I want is for Sanzo to give me a smile... I just want him to smile for me...

I don't want to be so sad... I don't wanna be so melancholy... But I don't know what drives me to this... Someday... Zettai ni... Sanzo will smile for me.

--

I was wondering what the zaru was thinking outside...

Probably he was worried about me again...

I don't know what's with that annoying zaru, but it makes me smile inside just to hit that annoying head...

Ha ha ha...

What a dry laugh...

I bet Hakkai was just telling him that I was alright and fathering him as usual... telling him things like, "You should be strong for Sanzo." Then maybe his eyes would light up and say, "Zettai ni! I will be strong!" But those were my masters words...

"Be strong," he said, "Be strong, Genjo Sanzo..."

I wish I can pass those words on personally to him as my will in case I die. But instead, Hakkai would tell him what I wanted to tell him.

Just as if my master was guiding him. Guiding him to guide Goku for me.

--

I wonder if it would really make him smile if I was strong. That way he wouldn't have to worry about me. That way he wouldn't hit me on the head anymore. Maybe that was it...

I was being hit on the head because everything I do never pleased him.

--

That zaru never knew that those hits on the head were a sign of guidance. A sign that I wanted to do my share of guiding him. I'm grateful that Hakkai tells him what I want to tell him. If I ever told Goku anything, that would be bad for my reputation...

Tsk, tsk, tsk...

The best he can do right now would just be...

--

Just smile for me... Then I'll be happy. Then I'll be happy.
