They Ask Me IV
A/N: Hontou, hontou arigatou gozaimasu!! Thank you to all those who reviewed this story. ^_^ I can't say how happy I am to see that you guys enjoyed reading this! Thank you again and I hope Hakkai's part doesn't let you down! As usual, everything you wanna complain, compliment or just observe can be put politely in a review.

Hakkai
They ask me why I bother to clean up after those three.
I tell them it's because no one else will.
But I do it because it's my way of saying thank you to them for not giving up on me when I wanted to die.
They ask me how I can stand them.
I tell them with enough patience, one can do anything.
But I can because I know I'm like them in a way. I just don't reveal it to the outside.
They ask me why I can't let go of her.
I don't usually answer.
But it's because Kanan is too precious to let go. Even when she's already gone.
They ask me why I keep helping my enemies.
I tell them it's because they keep helping me.
But to me, they are not my enemies. One chooses one's own enemies. They're not my enemies.
They ask me how I can smile all the time.
How can I not?
When I have so much to live for. Namely trying to stop Sanzo from killing those other two.
They ask me why I keep trying to keep the peace between my friends.
I tell them if I don't try to keep the peace, I would have no peace myself.
But it's because I don't want to mop up blood. It's very hard to clean. (insert traditional Hakkai smile here)~*~*~*~*~*~*~
