Bloods were everywhere. They were dripping from the wall, smearing the floor, dropping slowly from his body and covering his hands. The darkened hall was completely and eerily silent except the sound of rain as he limped his way. Hundreds of demons' corpse scattered and he was completely oblivious of his surrounding. He had been so angry.so damn angry that he recklessly thundered into the 100-eyes demon's castle and satisfied his bloodlust vengeance by killing all the demons inside it. The long knife was still his bloodied hand. Hakkai still lusted for more.
Inside the dungeon, he viciously swung his knife through the demons' throats and pushed them aside heartless. Right now, he couldn't think; he could only feel the rage. As the last demon fell lifelessly, Hakkai glared around him looking for any survivor and found none. "Kana." suddenly a sorrowful whisper echoed through the dungeon. "Kana.!"
"Gono." Came back the answer that he had been hoping to hear. Hakkai immediately ran towards the voice and saw the person who was the reason him doing this massacre.
He had pleaded her to come home with him but Kana silently took the long knife from him and retreated a few step away. She knew that she was pregnant with a demon baby inside her. She also knew that she could never go back to Gono and pretended that everything was back to normal. Slowly, she put the knife onto her throat and Hakkai's eyes went wide in realization of what she intended to do.
"Good bye.Gono."
Hakkai screamed it when he saw Kana fell lifelessly onto the floor. He clutched the iron bars that separated him from his lover's body and leaned his forehead against them. The pain inside him doubled. He had come to save her but he failed. All the killings that he had done were for nothing! He had committed a massacre for nothing! But the pain that he felt when he failed to protect her was nothing to compare with the fact that Kana had killed herself in front of him and he did nothing! He was so deep in his pain and sorrow that he became oblivious of the surrounding or the sound of the footsteps behind him.
"Finally, she had ended the pain herself." A voice came out mockingly. Hakkai remained motionless. The pain was so deep that he couldn't struggle himself a way out.
"Well, it saves me from wasting my energy from killing her myself." At that remark, Hakkai felt his body trembled with an anger that he thought he could never feel again. Letting out an outrage cry, he turned around and lunged towards the demon behind him.
* * * * * *
"What the heck.?!" Gojyo gasped as Hakkai suddenly stood up and blasted out a burning qi towards him. He totally taken off his guard that he had leaped a little late, causing his left arm to burn from the grazing of the attack. He grabbed his arm and watched in utter dumbfounded as Hakkai leaped forward to attack him even more. What the hell had just happened? One minute I was the one who was still awake and the next thing Hakkai attacks me!
Another qi hit Gojyo but this time on his thigh. "Damn it!" He swore. He wouldn't.couldn't raise his weapon against his best friend. Even though, Hakkai killed him for it. That was his problem. Since he couldn't counteract Hakkai's attacks, all he could do was dodging and evading. But his arm and thigh were in pain that he knew he couldn't keep avoiding Hakkai's attack. "Hakkai! What the hell are you doing?!" Gojyo shouted. The sound of qi blasting and Gojyo's shouting woke Sanzo and Goku.
"Nani.?" Goku rubbed his sleepy eyes. "Is it breakfast already?"
As usual, Sanzo didn't answer Goku but this time it wasn't because he didn't want to. He was dumbstruck when he saw Hakkai and Gojyo were locked into fight. When he saw Hakkai blasted his qi towards Gojyo crazily as if he was fighting against someone he hated passionately, Sanzo knew that he wouldn't want to trade his place with Gojyo no matter what the price. Sanzo also knew that Hakkai would never fight against any of them no matter what happened.
He quickly stood up and ran towards the place where Hakkai fought madly with Gojyo. Goku followed closely his master. "What's the matter with Hakkai?" Goku asked Sanzo as they ran.
"I don't know but we've got to stop the fight. Gojyo won't attack back." Sanzo said grimly. Then he looked back at Goku. "Let's do one thing at a time."
"What the hell happen?!" Sanzo demanded at the busy Gojyo.
Gojyo looked at his side and he never thought he would be so relief to see Sanzo and Goku. "Well! It's about time!" Gojyo retorted. "Hakkai suddenly went crazy! Can someone stop this damn fight?!"
Sanzo scowled at Gojyo and started to instruct Goku. "Goku! Go and knock some sense to Hakkai!"
"But how?" Goku stammered. "I will likely knock him dead!" Sanzo silently agreed with the monkey. Goku couldn't tone down his power but someone had to stop Hakkai before he killed Gojyo. His scowl went deeper when he realized that the someone was he.
"Damn it!" Sanzo started to lunged forward. He could see that Hakkai was only attacking Gojyo and he was either oblivious to he and Goku's appearance or ignoring them. It was the perfect opportunity for Sanzo to bring Hakkai down. He, then, ran behind Hakkai and started to lift his hand, which was holding his gun, and prepared to hit Hakkai with the butt of his gun.
Something else happened. Something that was out of Sanzo's calculation. Hakkai suddenly turned around and Sanzo saw Hakkai's eyes were empty and lifeless. Then, Hakkai punched the unprepared Sanzo into his face, causing Sanzo to be thrown backwards with bloodied lips. "What the hell?!" Sanzo swore more violently as he wiped the blood from his cracked lips. So, Hakkai did aware of his appearance but decided that Gojyo was the one he should kill. He watched Hakkai returned his attention back to Gojyo.
"Sanzo!" Goku shouted. Suddenly he was angry. But it was Hakkai, for heaven's sake! He didn't know to whom he should vent his anger with.
"Hey!" Gojyo was getting frustrated. His arm and leg were burning like hell and he knew that his speed had reduced. Anytime from now, Hakkai's attack could hit him in the chest. To end his life in Hakkai's hand was something he hadn't expected in his life. "What took you so long?! Just knock his head!"
"Oh, shut the hell up!" Sanzo snapped as he scrambled onto his feet. "Goku!" Sanzo called him and the angry monkey turned his head towards his master's direction. "Attack Hakkai!"
"But." Goku started to protest.
"Just attack him, damn it!" Sanzo shouted. Goku shrugged his shoulders and hoped Sanzo knew what he was asking. Goku summoned his staff and lunged towards Hakkai. As Sanzo expected, Hakkai cried with unbearable anger when he realized somebody else was disturbing him again and he blasted the qi that he had gathered to finish Gojyo to Goku. Goku's eyes went large when he saw the bright energy flew towards him and immediately put his staff forward to protect him from it.
Sanzo saw the opening opportunity and he ran behind Hakkai immediately. Then, he slammed his gun onto Hakkai's head. He heard Hakkai let out a surprise gasp and for a split second, Sanzo saw insanity came back into Hakkai's eyes and heard him whispered his name before unconsciousness claimed him.
Gojyo let out a relief sigh and limped his way towards Sanzo, who was staring down at Hakkai. "What do you think had happened?" Gojyo asked.
"I don't know but I saw Hakkai's eyes when he punched me." Sanzo answered and grimaced inaudibly when he touched his bruised lips. "I think he is asleep until I bash his head."
"What?! You mean he's just having a bad dream?" Gojyo frowned. If that so, why would Hakkai attack only him? Their thoughtful silent was suddenly interrupted by an irritating monkey. "Sanzo! You deliberately set me up as a bait, didn't you?" Accused Goku with his arms folded in front of him.
"Ch, Glad you notice that," Sanzo turned around indifferently and walked back toward the cave. "Baka!"
"Nani?!" Goku angered but followed Sanzo back to cave anyway.
Gojyo heard Goku's angry words and Sanzo's unsympathetic replies but his eyes never left the unconscious Hakkai. Suddenly, he was reminded acutely at the time when he first met Hakkai. It was in a jungle and Hakkai had been lying on the ground, exactly like this. A swift wave fear past through Gojyo's heart. Fear that Hakkai had hurt himself like he did with wounds gaping open and bloods rushing out when Gojyo first brought him back to his house.
Gojyo forced himself to calm down. Lately, he had this peculiar habit of worrying over Hakkai. He also had in frighteningly urge to watch Hakkai's face and everything he did as if he was utterly content if he did that. The harder he resisted, the stronger his feeling towards Hakkai. He, Gojyo, the womanizer and the one-night-only guy, was feeling things that he had tried to resist all his life. The hell with it! Living with a man with most beautiful green eyes for three years had certainly screwed his sense! Gojyo snorted.
Aware that Sanzo and Goku had disappeared back into cave, Gojyo kneeled beside Hakkai and lifted him in his arms. The sooner he got back to the cave the better. Being alone with Hakkai in the dark place , made his mind wandered to places Gojyo would never go now and ever. The place where he started to think he might want to make himself as vulnerable as he did in his childhood and give love a second chance.
* * * * * *
The sunlight slowly made its way into the cave. When Hakkai awoke, the first thing he noticed was his head hurt like hell. He had a nightmare, which had not visited him for such a long time. He thought he had gotten over the painful past but obviously he didn't. Reaching out for the bump on the back of his head, he groaned a little. He wondered how he got the bump. He opened his eyes and was speechless for a long moment when he saw his three companions was sitting around him as if they were waiting for him to awake.
"Um. Ohayo?" Hakkai said uncertainly.
"Ohayo yourself," Sanzo said curtly. Hakkai raised his eyebrows when he heard Sanzo's tone. He then sat up, surprised to find him tired and drained. It felt he had used his qi all the night. When he saw Gojyo's bandaged arms and legs, Sanzo's bruise lips and trees burned down, he instantly knew something had happened last night when he was asleep.
"Or should I said 'what's wrong'?" Hakkai asked, suddenly felt uneasy at Sanzo's penetrating gaze. It felt as if Sanzo was looking and reading inside him.
"We are the one who should say that!" Goku said, still unwilling to explain and stared at Hakkai as if he already knew.
That's it! Hakkai thought angrily. "Would you care to elaborate that, Goku, because as you can see, I don't know anything at all what happened last night." Hakkai still keep his voice neutral.
"You mean you don't remember?" Gojyo asked in disbelief.
"What had happened?" Hakkai's voice started to sound irritated. They acted like he was the one who caused all those commotion.
"You attacked me last night!" Gojyo exclaimed. "You were so crazy last night that it took Sanzo's bruise lips to stop you!" Sanzo glowered at Gojyo's remark.
"Baka!" Sanzo threw his paper fan to Gojyo's head. "It also took your burned arm and leg!"
Hakkai's eyes went huge in horror. What?! He attacked Sanzo and Gojyo? How.Why? He didn't remember anything. "I did not!" Hakkai denied. "I was asleep all night long! How can I attack you!?"
At that Sanzo went silent, Gojyo frowned and Goku raised his eyebrows, couldn't decide whether he understood the whole situation or not. Hakkai caught a glimpse of Gojyo's injuries and quickly looked away before guilt could consume him. The wounds he had inflicted upon Gojyo were so similar with the one he gave the demon in his dream. All he remembered was he was dreaming about his past and the next thing he knew, his companions were accusing him for attacking them.
The silent went on so long when suddenly Sanzo had enough and shrugged his shoulders. "Well, no use of thinking about it. It is done and over." He stood up and put back his robe over his black undergarment. "Let's go."
"But." Hakkai protested. He knew something was wrong with him. Of course, he had had dreamed about his past before but at least he never went amuck and attacked everyone. And he would certainly never attack Gojyo!
"Maybe, it just happens once." Gojyo tried to reassure Hakkai. As he stood up, he placed a comforting hand on Hakkai's shoulder. "Let's just forget about."
"Yeah, Hakkai," Goku sprang up. "Let's get something to eat! I'm hungry!"
Hakkai watched his friends walked towards the jeep and the frown never left his face. He was sure that the whole thing wasn't just past him by or happened once in the lifetime. Something must had happened and he didn't know whether the nightmare had anything to do with it or not. Grimly, Hakkai stood up and followed their way. All he could do now was let it bygone, as Sanzo suggested and hoped that it didn't happen again tonight.
