Once Upon a Time…
I think the phrase 'what died in here?' is the most accurate description of my apartment. Not exactly squalor, but very far off the mark from high-class. Of course it looks considerably more inviting with a buxom woman waiting in my bed. Currently, there is a lanky, comatose man where the women usually are. Goddammit.
I suppose he's kind of cute. Although, it's hard to consider such things when the person you're referring to presently has his large intestine literally taped back inside his body. Literally. I'm no doctor, but even I can tell that for all intents and purposes this guy should be dead. Oi, this is going to be a long week. I need to remember not to pick up men on the street. They're more trouble than they're worth—especially the ones sprawled in a pool of their own blood it seems.
He's entirely unremarkable, but
that could be due to the fact that he is unconscious and has been for a
while. I think I'll call him
Ichi-chan*…at least until he wakes up.
At this rate, waking up may not be an option. I…think I need some help.
*Gojyo is referring to Ichimokuren,
the one-eyed Japanese** god that produces rain. Conveniently, Hakkai is practically one-eyed and was found in the
rain.
**Yes, I know Saiyuki takes place in China.
