A/N: OKAY! So this is what?…the fifth chapter? Whatever, so yea…um thanks to reviewers, you guys da best! I'm gonna try and make this chapter longer for y'all! God help me, haha!

The next day went by pretty fast, much to Hakkai's chagrin. He was kind of nervous about seeing Gojyo later. He didn't know if he could face him without remembering the dream. Gojyo looked so different yet the same somehow. In the dream, Gojyo's hair was a bit shorter than it was now and it was less vivid. Also in the dream he seemed more…manly. Not that the "present" Gojyo was feminine but the Gojyo in the dream appeared to embrace his masculinity more in the dream. He had worn a white shirt and a blue vest, which showed off his strong, well-muscled arms. He was also holding a slightly crushed beer can in his hand and a cigarette was dangling loosely from his lips. The look fit him but it was much different from the baggy black pants, combat boots, and (usually) black shirt that had some sort of crude comment or a band name on it. Yeah, he was definitely more mannish in the dream.

Hakkai had been so wrapped up in his thoughts that he accidentally bumped into a larger boy, jock to be more specific. "I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." He said, bending down to pick up the books and papers that he had dropped.

"Yeah well, watch where you're going next time, nerd." Said the jock. Hakkai rolled his eyes. He was used to the name-calling but he still thought it was really immature. He wasn't the only one, apparently. "Nerd, eh? I haven't heard anyone use that lame insult since fifth grade, I think." Hakkai looked up quickly to see the tall figure of Gojyo standing behind him looking at the jock with a eyebrow cocked. "What is that supposed to mean, Sha?" said the jock gruffly.

"It means you should come up with some better comebacks, Matusuwa." Gojyo said, sharply.

"You makin' fun of me?"

"Oh, you're a bright one, how'd you figure that one out, Sherlock?"

The Matusuwa snarled and lunged at Gojyo, who sighed and stepped to the side. Matusuwa fell to the floor, flat on his face. Three of his friends turned to face Gojyo, their fists clenched, while a fourth one bent down to check on the jock. He stood up and glared at Gojyo. "That's it, Sha. I'm going to kick your ass."

"Oh, no whatever shall I do." Said Gojyo in a lame, monotone voice. A crowd had formed around them now. Hakkai had picked up his books and moved backwards into the crowd. Matusuwa swung his fist at Gojyo. Gojyo ducked and then punched Matusuwa in the stomach. One of Matusuwa's friends then came up behind Gojyo and pulled him into a headlock.

"Matusuwa! Sha!" The voice of the assistant principle broke them up.

"What are doing? Why are you fighting?" Gojyo closed his eyes for a minute and sighed before he shoved the bigger kid off of him.

"Sorry, sir, things just got a little out of proportion."

"Yes, well I see that. Nonetheless I'm giving you both a detention on Saturday."

He felt all the jocks stir and heard mutters of 'team practice' and 'big game' but Gojyo wasn't all that upset. It wasn't like he was actually involved in anything so he didn't have to worry about being late for anything.

"Well that's it then. All right, kids, run along now. Off to lunch, nothing to see here." Said his teacher shooing the students away.

Hakkai stood there watching as Gojyo picked up his discarded bag. Gojyo turned to look up at him.

"Hello." He said after a minute.

"Um, hi." Hakkai said, rather awkwardly.

"What was that all about?" he asked jerking his thumb over his shoulder towards the gang of jocks that were walking away.

"Oh, nothing, just a little misunderstanding. Um, why did you intervene?"

"Ah, I dunno. I can't stand those guys and I figured that I should probably just screw with him for the hell of it, y'know? He gets mad over the dumbest things and, no offense, but you looked a bit lost and I just thought I'd help ya out. You are helping me pass high school after all."

That was true, Hakkai thought. He probably did look a bit disoriented, what with the dream still on his mind and the lingering effects of the Jack Daniels. They headed off to lunch, walking in silence.

"So…do you usually get that?" Gojyo said, breaking the uncomfortable silence.

"Get what?"

"The 'nerd' shit."

Hakkai smiled slightly. "Not as much as I used to. It was kinda hard during middle school 'cause that's when your trying to get a good reputation for yourself but it doesn't bother me now." They walked in silence again until they reached the computer lab, where Hakkai stopped suddenly. "Uh…whats up?" Gojyo said uncertainly. He didn't know if they were walking together or if they just happened to be going to the same place at the same pace.

"I eat my lunch in here usually." Hakkai said gesturing towards the lab.

"Oh," Gojyo said. "Why?"

"Just doing homework I guess. I try to fit a lot of it into my schedule at school so that I have more time to do…other things at home." Hakkai mentally kicked himself for saying that. He did not have anything to do later but it was just a habit of his to do stuff here so that he went home he could spend time with…Her.

"Oh…right." Gojyo said, cocking an eyebrow. "So I guess I'll leave ya to it."

"Yeah. I'll see you later then. We're still on for tonight?" Hakkai asked.

"Yep." Said Gojyo, and before he had a chance to say goodbye, a familiar voice called his name. He turned to see Sanzo and Goku coming towards him.

"Hey did you really just get into a fight?" Goku asked eagerly.

"Yeah, Matusuwa. We've both got a detention." Gojyo replied, shrugging.

"And I wasn't there? Dammit. I hate that Backstreet Boy wannabe." He said slamming his fist into his palm.

"Calm down, monkey." Sanzo said, whacking him on the back of his head.

"Ooowww!"

Hakkai nearly dropped his books. He couldn't believe it. Those…those people. They were in my dream too. I'm sure of it. The blonde looked almost exactly the same only the red chakra that had been on his forehead was gone, and his hair was a bit shorter. The smaller brunette looked the most different. He had had short hair in the dream and a gold band around his head, now, his hair was much longer and messier and the mysterious band was gone. They sounded the same and acted the same. It was starting to unnerve him.

"Um…well I won't hold you back any longer. S-see you tonight, Gojyo. E-enjoy your lunch." He practically ran into the computer lab. He stood there for a minute panting. What the hell?

"Who was that?" Sanzo inquired.

"Um that would be my math tutor." Gojyo answered, raising his eyebrows at the closed doors. They left, walking to the cafeteria.

"Y'know…that guy seems familiar." Goku said once they had gotten their meals and sat down to eat.

"You felt it too? He reminded me of someone too. I'm not sure who though." Gojyo said furrowing his brow.

"Maybe he's just got one of those faces. He looked familiar to me as well." Sanzo said, opening his bottle of water.

"Or maybe…we were all friends in a previous life!" Goku laughed as he said it. Gojyo chuckled slightly but the then the thought of the dream came back to him…What if…nah…stupid monkey logic.

From the back of the cafeteria, two pairs of eyes watched the trio eat their lunch.

"Well, Jiroushen," said a cool, female voice, "It looks like our little heroes have finally reunited…well almost."

"Why do I put up with you, my lady?" said the always tense voice of the assistant principle.

"Because you are wise beyond your many years." Said the woman, walking away. "And don't call me that," she yelled back, "We're supposed to be incognito, remember?" And with a cackle rounded the corner and disappeared.

Jiroushen winced and looked back at the three young men, who were now bickering loudly. He sighed and walked away.

A/N: Ok I know what your thinking, "When is she gonna get to the damn tutoring session?" I'M GETTING THERE! It was going to be on this chapter but my computer is shit and it keeps saying weird stuff and itsdriving me mad so...one thing at a time...
