Gojyo

They ask me why I smoke so much.

I tell them to buzz off.

But I need the nicotine to keep me calm.

They ask me why I keep my hair long.

I tell them the ladies love it more than boring short hair.

But it's to hide the proof that my early life was more bitter than sweet.

They ask me why I love to bed women so much.

I retort back: why not?

But it's because one woman, my mother, would have nothing to do with me. [1]

They ask me why I took Hakkai in.

I reply because he looked so pathetic.

But it's because I recognized another one who often felt like dying. And that to him the colour red only meant blood too.

They ask me how I can stand all the insults that came with my red hair and eyes.

I tell them, by fighting.

But I know deep inside, there are people who don't care what colour eyes and hair I have.

They ask me why I keep annoying the monk.

I tell them because it's fun.

And it is.

*grin*

[1] This isn't an incest thing I'm talking about. It's just that it's curious to know that the first lady Gojyo interacts with, hates his very guts. Maybe he's trying to find the love he never had. *shrugs* That's my P.O.V anyway.
