Chapter 5: The New Secret
A/N: I only got like 4 reviews from that chapter. I guess I'll deal though. I have some insperation for this chapter, Trigger sung by Toshihiro Seki. I don't really know what he's saying but the way he is singing sorta fits with this chapter. By the way, read my new one-shot, "It Can't Wait". It's 58! Squee! But it already got a bad review. -Cries Hysterically-.
" Hakkai, are you up yet?" Gojyo asked, knocking on the door to their room.
" Yes, I thought you were in here with me." Hakkai smiled, sitting up in the bed.
" I'm sorry about what Homura did." Gojyo said, a bit of worry in his tone.
" It's not your fault at all." The brunette shook his head, taking Gojyo's hand. Gojyo blushed. " Are you alright Gojyo? You suddenly went all hot." Hakkai noted with a smile.
" Nah, I'm fine." He said. " Still, it is my fault." He confessed.
Flashback
It was just before dinner time and Gojyo, Goku, Sanzo and Kougaiji were putting the food out onto the table. " Gah, monkey! Watch where you put that, it's hot." Gojyo cried. Goku glared at the older one and put the plate of steaming rice in the middle of the table.
" Not my fault you were in the way." Goku said, almost in a teasing manner as he set the plate down.
" Move monkey! This is hot." Sanzo said, putting a large plate of fried vegetables next to the rice.
" Sorry." Goku said, moving to his left, bumping into Gojyo.
" MONKEY! I am gonna spill this!" Kougaiji growled, carring a pitcher of water to the table.
" Fine! I'll just go visit Princess if I am gonna be in the way!" Goku said, walking into the wallway to get the Princess.
" Gojyo, since the idiot left, can you get the potatoes?" Sanzo said as if it was an order. Gojyo huffed, but did it anyway, not like arguing would get him anywhere. Then, Hakkai suddenly popped out of the kitchen with the potatoes, running into Gojyo and dropping the plate.
" SHIT!" Gojyo yelled, kneeling down to pick up the mess. Hakkai looked worried, feeling around to pick up the pieces, cutting himself repeatedly on his hands. Just then, Lord Homura walked in.
" What happened?" He roared.
" Hakkai dropped the plate of potatoes when he ran into Gojyo." Dokugakuji informed.
" I'm sorry, it's my fault, I walked into you." Hakkai whimpered.
Homura kneeled down, " Why were you trying to help when you know you're blind?" Homura whispered deeply into his ear, " Do you remember why you can't see?" He grinned. " Do I have to do that again?"
" N-No." Hakkai shook his head nervously. Homura lifted his hand and smacked him hard on the face, knocking Hakkai to the ground.
" And don't you forget it." Homura said, his voice coated in arrogane. Gojyo gaped, but he seemed to be the only one. And nobody did anything. They just went back to what they were doing but with sorrow filled looks on their faces. Gojyo turned to Hakkai and helped him up and carried him to their room.
End Flashback
" No, it's not your fault. Don't say that." Gojyo said, about to rewrap Gojyo's hand.
" You sound nervous, is there something you want to ask me?" Hakkai said, catch Gojyo dead-on. As if he could read Gojyo's mind.
" I guess I can't hide things from you." He laughed, but his laughter soon became uneasy. " D-Does that happen often?"
" What?" Hakkai asked.
" Him, hitting you like that." Gojyo whispered. He looked at Hakkai, who said nothing and just looked at Gojyo, as best he could with a sad look on his face. So sad, it hurt.
" Yes." Hakkai said honestly.
" That's not right!" Gojyo shouted.
" Huh?"
" You don't deserve to be hit like that. At all. Nobody does. I seem to be the only one who feels sorry for you as well."
" Well, that last part is untrue. Yaone doesn't like it at all and neither does Goku or Sanzo or Kougaiji or Dokugakuji. But, nobody can stand up to my father. And if you do, you're dead."
" I would stand up to him, next time, for you." Gojyo said seriously, taking Hakkai's hand.
" It's alright, I don't want you risking yourself for me. Don't worry."
" Pfft." Gojyo huffed. " I'd like to give Lord-High-And-Mighty-Homura a piece of my mind."
" Gojyo, this might sound really weird, but, can you describe the way you look to me?"
" Uh, sure." Gojyo said, a bit startled by the question. " Um, I have crimson eyes and hair."
" A half breed?" Hakkai asked, touching Gojyo's hair.
" Yeah." Gojyo whispered as if he was ashamed.
" Continue." Hakkai coaxed.
" Um, I'm kinda tannish." Gojyo chuckled, looking at his arm. " I'm about six feet tall, I have two scars on my cheek." He rambled on.
" Scars?" Hakkai interrupted.
" Er, yeah."
" From what?" Hakkai asked, tracing his index finger over the scar tissue.
" My mother, she almost killed me one night." Gojyo confessed as if nothing was wrong.
" Why?"
" Cause I'm not her child." Gojyo continued to speak as if it was nothing, as if it was alright that it happened, almost as if, it sound have happened.
" That's no reason for you to let her kill you Gojyo!" Hakkai shouted.
" I don't think that's true anymore though." Gojyo smiled, " So don't worry, dork." Gojyo said poking Hakkai sharply on the forehead. Hakkai winced. " Now go to sleep. I'll be in this bed if you need anything." Gojyo said, rolling underneath the covers of his own bed. Hakkai waited a moment and got out from underneath his covers, and felt around to Gojyo's bed. Something was pulling him there, something he couldn't control.
" Gojyo." Hakkai whispered softly, tugging on the soft blankets.
" Hmm?" Gojyo hummed. Hakkai smiled and lifted up the blankets and climbed in next to Gojyo. Gojyo turned blushed furiously. " HAKKAI!? What are you--" Gojyo started off, but Hakkai's finger met his lips.
" I-I don't know what I am doing." Hakkai whispered. " Just be quiet."
Gojyo turned around to face Hakkai. He reached out for Hakkai's cheek, stopped, and placed it on his cheek. Hakkai blushed. " Can I?" Gojyo asked.
" Can you what?" Hakkai teased just below a whisper.
" Can I kiss you?" Gojyo asked, placing his hand under Hakkai's chin. He didn't even wait for an answer as he slowly pressed his lips onto Hakkai's, he kissed him softly and slowly, and Gojyo softly licked Hakkai's lip, allowing him entrance. Tongues danced slowly and skillfully. Gojyo's kiss was strong and bold, while Hakkai's was sweet and delecate. Hakkai pulled away, sighing inwardly, and pulling Gojyo close to him.
" That...was..." Hakkai started off, a bit dazed.
" Don't say anything." Gojyo smiled. " I don't think there is a word to describe what that was."
" Heh, you may have a point Gojyo." Hakkai smiled, snuggling up against Gojyo.
The next morning, Gojyo woke up early and moved Hakkai to his regular bed, incase somebody walked in, like Princess Yaone or somebody. He closed the door gently, not to wake Hakkai up and breathed in.
" GOJYO-SAN!" Yaone cheered, popping out from a nearby corner.
" PRINCESS!?" Gojyo shouted in surprise, nearly falling over.
" What's up?" Yaone smiled. Gojyo put his index finger over her lips.
He whispered harshly, " Shut up, Hakkai is still asleep."
" Heh, you two weren't sleeping." Yaone winked.
" What are you talking about?" Gojyo asked, pretending to be confused.
" I was walking by your room last night." Yaone grinned, and hugged herself around the waist. " And I heard noises like, 'Mmm...' and 'smootch, smootch'. So don't lie."
" Alright fine, we kissed." Gojyo huffed. " But don't tell anybody or anything or I'll kill your personally."
" You kissed!?" Yaone squeeled.
" I thought you heard us." Gojyo asked, a bit confused, for real this time.
" I was just testing you. I really didn't hear anything, I just wanted to see if something did go down in the bed." Yaone teased.
" I should kill you." Gojyo growled.
" You can't, cause I'll tell my father and you'll be dead." Yaone teased again, bringing her hand across her neck.
" I'll be dead either way." Gojyo rolled his eyes. " Just keep it quiet, alright." Gojyo said, walking away to the kitchen. " Imma go make Hakkai breakfast. See ya."
Yaone waved as he walked away. " Let's hope he doesn't find out." She whispered sadly.
A/N: Whoo, I didn't like this chapter that much. It was supposed to be really good...oh well...
