Chapter 6

"Hm?" Mrs Nadeshiko asked.

"My... name is... em..." Hakkai hesitated. Then, a name appeard in his mind. A name that he'll never forget. "Kana! Watashiwa, Kana desu."

"Oh, Kana. What a beautiful name." Mrs Nadeshiko said.

"Ah-ha-ha, arigatou gozaimasu." Hakkai said. "Ah, anyway, why are you here for?" he said, trying to change the subject.

What Hakkai just said totally wiped the smile of her face. Oops... Hakkai thought. I shouldn't have said that.

"It's a very long story." Mrs Nadeshiko said. "Well, you see, I got married at the age of twenty one because my father forced me to. And I was kind of happy staying with my husband in a peaceful house until he betrayed me. He is the kind of man who prefers beautiful and young-looking girls, not a married woman. So, he packed up and left me pregnant and alone in the house. I tried to catch up with him, refusing to let go of his sleeve and finally, he kicked me and left me helpless in the middle of the road."

"Just like that?" Hakkai asked.

Mrs Nadeshiko nodded. "At that time, I was beginning to give birth." she continued. "I cried for help, but nobody was there to help me. Then, two villager ran out and carried me to their house. And that's where I gave birth to my son."

Gojyo nearered his ear at Hakkai's table, trying to hear a clearer conversation.

"So did you ever see your son again?" Hakkai asked.

"No. My family said I can't keep him. My family is too poor and without my selfish husband, we can't afford to keep him. So, he was sent to the orphanage. I swear myself, one day I'll make sure I'll visit him."

"I see." Hakkai said.

Mrs Nadeshiko smiled. "It was said that he was given a name by a nun who takes care of him. His name was,... Cho Gono."

Hakkai froze.

"Nani?!" Gojyo yelled. Hakkai and Mrs Nadeshiko looked at him in puzzlement. Gojyo pretended to look out the window.

"So..." Mrs Nadeshiko continued. "I've been looking for a man called Cho Gono everywhere. But according to them, Cho Gono doesn't exist anymore, they said he have changed his name to... Cho Hakkai."

Gojyo spat out his tea when he was taking a sip from it.

"Until now, I've been on a search for my son. But I never heard a news about him or seen him at all. I'm sure he must have grown into a very handsome and strong gentleman now."

Hakkai kept quiet, feeling a little guilty.

"Eh? Kana-san?" Mrs Nadeshiko asked.

Hakkai raise his hands. "Ah-ha-ha-ha, daijobu."

Hakkai walked up to the room. He turned the door handle and went in. Goku was sleeping on his own bed peacefully, still in a piglet form. Hakkai covered Goku with a blanket. Sanzo was puffing on his cigarette half way and manage to 'smoke himself to sleep'.

"Yare yare desu ne." Hakkai sighed.

The door slammed open, startling Sanzo and Goku who was in slumber land.

"Ha... Ha..." Gojyo panted. "Hakkai! Is... Is it...? Is she your....your... MOTHER!?"

Sanzo took out his gun and point it at Gojyo. "I don't remember allowing anybody to disturb my sleep." Sanzo released a few bullets at Gojyo.

"Oi! Oi! Oi! Chotto!" Gojyo yelled, managed to dodge all the bullets. "You can kill me later but this is important!"

"Important? Nothing is more important then people disturbing my sleep." Sanzo said pointing his gun at Gojyo again.

"Okay! Okay! I won't do that again!" Gojyo pleaded.

Sanzo gave a "Hm!" and reluctantly put away his gun.

Gojyo went over to Hakkai. "Is this some kind of a joke?"

Hakkai put his finger on his lips, "Mmmm.... No idea."

Gojyo popped a vein. "What do you mean by "no idea"!?"

"Oi, oi, am I missing something?" Sanzo asked. "What the hell is going on?"

Gojyo started babbling about what happened. "And... And then she said she is aftering a man called Cho Hakkai!" he continued. "She might be intending to kill him and all of us!"

"Aftering?" Hakkai asked.

"Well, not really aftering but... Oh, It's just simply looking for him!" Gojyo stammered.

A sweatdrop roll down Sanzo's head. "Oh, and then what am I suppose to do? This has got nothing to do with us."

"Aren't you gonna take action!?" Gojyo yelled.

"About what? This is suppose to be a mother and son problem. Hakkai should decide his own path by himself." Sanzo said.

Gojyo patted Hakkai's shoulder. "I warn you, my friend, never fall into her trap. All mothers are the same. First they acted innocent but soon when you're not ready she'll attack!"

Sanzo and goku sweatdropped.

"Hm! Just because you hate your own mother doesn't mean Hakkai hate his." Sanzo said.

"Nani!?" Gojyo yelled. "Just because you're motherless does..." Sanzo pointed his gun at Gojyo. "...Just kidding."

Goku jumped down from his bed and went to Hakkai. "Pi! Pi, pi, pi." Goku made some signs to Hakkai.

"Yes...? Must... go.... huh?" Hakkai said, trying to understand what Goku was trying to say.

Goku sighed. He made some more signs to Hakkai.

"No... running... baby? Mother...?" Hakkai asked. Then he got it. "No running away from my mother?"

Goku nodded and made more signs.

"Me... he... her... walk... come... together?" Hakkai muttered. "Mum and me should see each other?"

Goku nodded.

"Oi, what makes you say that?" Gojyo asked. Goku glared back at him and stuck out his tounge.

Before Gojyo could react, they heard a knock on the door. Gojyo and Hakkai froze.

"Kana? Are you in there?" Mrs Nadeshiko's voice called.
