Akiko Koishii--- I update weekly but depending on school work, I may be early or late.
Keistje--- Considering the GokuXSanzo thing, I'll have to wait for what other people think. You're the first person to actually consider that. However, if enough people go for that idea, I'll do that.
-[Hakkai POV]-
.-::-.
The day went off to a bad start. Sanzo pretended as if we didn't exist and wouldn't even acknowledge me when I tried to talk to him. Goku was in a completely depressed state. He wouldn't even eat lunch which is a sure sign of something wrong. Gojyo stayed completely silent and avoided Sanzo as well. I knew I had to do something about this, so I cornered Sanzo after school.
"Sanzo. I want to talk."
"Let me guess, it's about the baka saru, right?"
"Sanzo, if you don't do something about this who knows what Goku might do?"
"I don't care."
"Why won't you even pretend that he's still there? You don't have to completely shut him out like that!"
"Well, why do you keep trying to get me to do things? What are you, my mother?! Because you certainly act like you are." I stayed silent for a moment and glared at him before I started to walk away. At the last moment I looked back at those amethyst eyes that were gleaming with defiance.
"Do you believe what you're saying? That it's bad to care about people? It's almost sad that you are acting so ignorant about all this." Without another word, I whirled around and resumed my course.

-[Sanzo's POV]-
That bastard, Hakkai. He knew that I gave a damn. Small amount, but he knew it existed. He is so damn smug sometimes. I watched him leave, that calm look on his face that always seemed to see right through you. I muttered some curses under my breath and turned to leave, only to have some of my friends staring at me.
"What?"
"Was he bothering you? We can take care of him you know, unless it's personal."
"Just leave him alone, he's not worth it anyways." I glanced behind me to catch the smallest glimpse of his figure, but Hakkai was gone. In a way, I never thought I'd look at him like this. I frowned and grabbed my backpack. Hakkai, you may just be worse than the other two.

-[Back to Hakkai POV]-
I smirked to myself, knowing that I had left Sanzo with a great deal of thought. Perhaps, things might get back to normal soon. With so many things going on in my head, I didn't notice the person I was walking straight into.
"Oh. I'm sorry." I glanced downward and my heart skipped a beat. It was her, the girl that I have been watching for so long.
"No, I should be the one apologizing. I wasn't watching where I was going." Her voice was almost like I had imagined, maybe better. I could feel the butterflies in my stomach but I managed to keep my self calm.
"It's okay. Let me properly introduce myself. My name is Cho Hakkai." I bowed at her, although maybe that was unnecessary.
"My name is [1]Kanan." It all seemed so perfect, almost a dream. A very sweet dream. After our introductions were made, we began talking to each other about ourselves. She was a very sweet girl who seemed to enjoy her life as it was which added to her cuteness.
"Er...Kanan."
"Yes?"
"Do you, er, have a boyfriend?" I said, with a minor pause. I smiled at her but couldn't keep a light lush from creeping to my cheeks.
"No. Why do you..? Oh!" I looked up to see her growing quite red in the face. "Hakkai, we just met. I don't think that...well."
"I understand Kanan. Things like this can wait. After all, patience is a virtue." I small bit of dread and doubt seemed to grow within me. It increased with every second at the thought that she might reject me.
"Hakkai, don't take it as if I'm rejecting you." I glanced up and blinked. It was as if she could read my mind. "After all, Hakkai seems to be a very nice man to Kanan-chan."
I let the words sink in and replay in my head several times. I could've stopped breathing at that one point and I was lost for words. I just looked at her with the most perplexed expression upon my face.
"Well, those are my friends over there, I have to go now." I watched her as she pointed to across the street and began to flounce off. She was half-way to the other side before I finally found the courage to talk again.
"[2]Aishiteru, Kanan!" I watched her turn around and wave at me. I watched as bright headlights illuminated her figure. I watched the shocked expression on her face as the car collided with her body. And I heard the horrible screeching noise that tore my world into two.

[1] SPOILER WARNING!!! Kanan is actually Hakkai's sister in the series, and he loved her as well.
[2] Means I love you in Japanese
