Chapter 9: Last Night Together.
A/N: Yay! Chapter 9! Only two more to go until the end. And let me say, I'm probably going to get murdered by thousands of people because of it. Heh...but I won't give anything away. And you people need to review more...or I'll cry. Pooheads.
Hakkai waited anxiously for Yaone's guards to show up with Gojyo. He would look at the clock, then out the window and even occasionally peaked into the hallway, wanting any sign of his lover to appear.
" Hakkai?" Goku smiled, peaking into the room.
" Oh, Goku, I thought you were out looking for Gojyo."
" I didn't go. Yaone said it'd be better if I stayed here." Goku smiled, sitting on the bed next to Hakkai.
" So she asked you to watch over me?" Hakkai asked with a smiled. Goku hesitated, looking down at his hands.
" No, I wanted to see you, make sure you were okay." Goku choked out, holding back his tears.
" Goku, what's wrong?" Hakkai asked. Goku collapsed onto Hakkai's lap, shaking with tears.
" It's all my fault this happened." Goku cried. " If I had kept my mouth shut about you two, none of this would have happened. I'm sorry."
" Goku, it's nobody's fault." Hakkai said, shaking his head. " And besides, I get to see him one last time, don't I? And I am going to make it the best."
" I know, but what about after, Hakkai? What are you going to do without him around?"
" I'm sure Yaone will find me somebody--"
" But you love Gojyo, I don't think you'd be able to find a replacement so easily." Goku noted.
Hakkai paused. " I'm sure your right. I mean, after all, I'm sure you couldn't find somebody to replace Sanzo."
Goku blushed and started to walk out of the room. " Hakkai...you, you really suck." Goku laughed. " But, you do have a point. I don't think I could ever find somebody to replace Sanzo and, I can only imagine the pain you're in, because, I've always had him. I don't, remember a time when he wasn't right next to me, but, if there was a time that happened, I'm sure...I was really, really sad."
" And that's how I feel about Gojyo."
" So I guess, we're just a bunch of stupid people, in love." Goku smiled, leaving the room.
" So who woulda guessed? I knew the monkey was in love with that asshole." A voice came from the window. Hakkai froze.
" G-Gojyo!" Hakkai gasped. Gojyo got down from the window and smiled at Hakkai, taking his head in his hands. " I missed you so much."
" It's only been a day. And how did you know I was in here? You're still blind aren't you?"
" I could never forget your voice." Hakkai smiled.
" I'm glad, like I said, it's only been a day." Gojyo smiled back, taking off his shoes and climbing into the bed next to Hakkai. " So, this is going to be the last time we'll see each other." Gojyo said sadly, running a hand along Hakkai's cheek.
" I know." Hakkai gasped, trying not to cry.
" Don't start crying already. We haven't even done anything yet."
" It's just so sad..." Hakkai said, hugging Gojyo tightly. " This, will be the last time we'll see each other."
" Then, let's run away."
" We can't do that--"
" Yes, we can." Gojyo said, putting a finger over Hakkai's lips. " Not like your father wants you here anyway."
Hakkai laughed. " That's very true."
There was a silence. Hakkai heard Gojyo shift around under the sheets and move closer to him, and slowly their lips met. Hakkai gasped at the softness and tenderness of Gojyo's kiss. Gojyo pulled away slowly. " Let's run away." He whispered.
" Gojyo--"
" I'm serious. I don't want to live without you. This is one of the hardest days of my life, not being able to take care of you. And, I want to do that, I want to take care of you every single day. Even if you can't see me, and who cares if you ever do. You love me, either way."
" I wish I could, but I can't leave everybody here."
" You really want this to be the last time we ever see each other. Laying in a bed, talking about what could happen? I don't want this to be it Hakkai."
" I don't either, but what can I do? I want to be with you, but I don't want to leave Yaone either."
" ...I understand." Gojyo smiled softly, kissing Hakkai again, a little harder this time. " Then let's make this last moment, last."
Gojyo gently slipped a hand under Hakkai's shirt, feeling the soft skin of Hakkai's chest. Hakkai gasped at Gojyo's warm touch. They slowly slipped off each other's clothes, their warm bodies pressing against one another's. Hakkai liked this feeling, of having somebody who loved and cared about him, this close.
" Gojyo, could we not, you know?"
" I know, I wasn't going to." Gojyo shook his head, ressuring Hakkai. " I just want to touch every inch of you, and know what it feels like to hold you like this. So, when I'm without it, I can remember, exactly how you felt."
" Gojyo--"
" Shh, or somebody will hear." Gojyo smiled, gently kissing Hakkai's neck.
" Gojyo, I love you." Hakkai whispered softly.
" I love you too." Gojyo smiled, kissing Hakkai on the lips.
While Gojyo was sleeping, Hakkai pondered the idea of running away with Gojyo. So much so, his head started to hurt. And he decided, he was going to do it. Him and Gojyo were going to run away that morning. But, that morning, there was no Gojyo next to him. Just a feeling of loss, and an aire in the room that said,
Goodbye
A/N: Awwwwwwww...but wait...it's not over yet.
