Gojyo's Gift


DISCLAIMER: I don't think there's a need for this.
Obviously, the reason why I'm writing here is because the anime
doesn't belong to me. :> I hope you ENJOY!

Chapter 6 : Kai's Feelings

Kai sat down on her tree house.
"Whew! It's been a year since I've been here... a year since I've been too pigheaded enough to marry the man who love sme" she said to herself.
"So I'm right, you do know this place" Hakkai said
"Hakkai! You startled me. What are you doing here? Have you been following?"
"Guilty as charged. I'm sorry, I just want the truth on why you were so nervous when we were nearing this town."
"I guess I have to tell you the truth. I came from this town and I know almost all the people here specially those from the Chuay Gahn tribe. And the reason why I'm hiding is because of my pride. Why? Before I left here, I told my frineds and parents that I am only going back here when I find the man I love and loves me in return. And here I am, married to a man who hates me. I know it's a lame reason Hakkia, but almost all couples here are in love with each other, most specially myparents."
"Do you love Gojyo, Kai?"
Hakkai asked but before she could answer they heard sounds below.
"That great Gojyo!"
When they look down, they saw Gojyo with a girl she doesn't recognize.
"Kyuu!" Hakuryuu chirped which got Gojyo and the girl to look up.
His eyes narrowed and jaws clenched when he saw hakkai and Kai on top of the treehouse.
"C'mon let's go!" Gojyo snapped and put his arms around the girl's shoulder.
"Do you know them Gojyo?" she asked
"No" he answered coldly.
** You can't fool me Gojy. That girl up there is someone special to you** she thought but didn't say anything.
When the two were gone, Kai sat down with her arms around her legs, her chin resting on her knees and tears falling from her eyes.
"Do you need to answer my question or is your reaction enough to answer it?"
"Yes I do love him, since the first time I saw im fight with Goku at that restaurant."
"He loves you Kai"
"Don't make me laught Hakkai. If you're saying that because of his reaction a while ago, it's just his male pride talking. What would you think if your wife is with your bestfriend alone on top of a treehouse?" she said shaking her dark tresses.
"No, I wasn't looking at her reaction. I was looking at his eyes. Give him a little time to accept his feelings. He's a 'man of the world' so falling in love is pretty new for him" Hakkai assured her.
"Thank you Hakkai, I feel a lot better now. We better go back to the inn, I promised Goku we'll go to the market together." she said then start to climb down.
They were just a few steps away from the house when ...
"Kai!" a very familiar voice stopped her. She wanted to run but instead she faced them with a smile.
"Mom! Dad!" she said then hugged both her parents.
"When did you arrive? And why are you wearing that cloak? Are you planning on hiding from us?"
"Of course not mom!"
"Kai, your mom and I are sorry for forcing you to marry Lario"
"Dad, I know you did that because you think it's the best for me. It's the past and besides I'm married now"
That's when her parents noticed Hakkai who's just behind her.
"Oh. I'm so sorry young man, we didn't know you're her husband. What's your name?" her father asked.
"Uh...Hakkai, but sir I'm not - " Hakkai tried to say.
"What a handsome young man you are Hakkai, just perfect for our only daughter."
"But mom he's - " once again, she was cut short, so she just let them talk about how perfect Hakkai is, while guiding them to hteir house.
Unknown to them, a pair of red eyes are watching them, his fist clenched tightly.
