Part Two: Warmth

Gojyo was sitting at the edge of a bed of an Inn; Hakkai was lying on the bed. Hakkai was badly hurt; he had bandages mostly on his arms and legs. Hakkai had his eyes closed but as soon as Gojyo stood up he opened them, "What's wrong Gojyo?"

Gojyo kneels down by the bed, scooted over to where he faced Hakkai and looked at him, "Its nothing…."the kappa places a hand on Hakkai's cheek, "You should rest…"

Hakkai shakes his head slowly, "I cant when you are here and awake, you to need to sleep."

Gojyo looks down at the bed's sheet, "No its my fault you were attacked, I cant go to bed. And If I try, it won't work either…Ill be worrying about you."

Hakkai sits up flinching in pain, "Gojyo you should at least try and anyway I just slept. And I wont go anywhere so don't worry."

Gojyo sighs, he stands up and sits on Hakkai's bed again, "But…it doesn't matter, Ill stay awake." The Kappa takes out a cigarette and lights it.

Hakkai takes Gojyo cigarette and smashes into an ashtray, "Get sleep right now."

Gojyo looks at Hakkai annoyed, but then sighs as he looks at his beautiful green eyes, "Fine…" The kappa lies down on the bed next to Hakkai; he turns himself to put his arms around his friend.

Hakkai looks at Gojyo, "Uh Gojyo?"

Gojyo was already asleep, Hakkai always calmed him down. And he wanted to touch Hakkai, because if he didn't he wouldn't sleep.

Hakkai smiles and pets the red haired kappa's hair. There were noises outside the door; Hakkai looks at the door wondering what was going on. He removes him self from Gojyo's arms and opened the door. There were 4 youkai standing there, they looked angry as they smiles at Hakkai.

"There you are pretty boy!" one of the youkai said as kicked Hakkai in the stomach. Hakkai fell to the floor holding his stomach.

Another youkai grabbed Hakkai by the hair and lifted him up, "Oh what's the matter? Your wounds haven't healed up?"

Hakkai just looks at the youkai with a very angry look, yet he didn't say anything. Gojyo stirred in his sleep from the noise he felt around the bed, but didn't feel Hakkai. He sat up and looked to the door, to see the youkai dragging Hakkai away. "Hey!" Gojyo jumps out of bed and runs after them.

The youkai dragged Hakkai to the end of the hall, and started to kick him. Hakkai grunts in pain, "S-stop…"

Gojyo, who was now stomping his way down the hall, took one of the youkai by the head and threw him to a wall. He kicks another youkai in the face, and grabs another by the arm and throws him down the hall. He grabs the last one and smashes he face against a wall, "Never mess with Hakkai!" Gojyo stands up Hakkai, "Lets leave Hakkai before more trouble stirs up…" The walk out of the Inn and go into town. Gojyo spots a Pub and goes in it, he and Hakkai sit in the corner table.

Hakkai looks at the angry kappa, "I'm sorry Gojyo…"

"Tch…why are you sorry Hakkai? I kick their butts and now your safe…again. I knew I shouldn't have went to bed." The kappa says as he slams his fist on the table, he gets up and goes to the bartender.

Hakkai sighs and says to himself quietly, "I've caused him so much trouble…"

Gojyo comes back with a beer and sits back down and drinks. After taking a drink he looks at his upset friend, "Listen Hakkai, I should be there for you. But when I'm asleep or something your attacked. I'm never able to protect you! One day I'm going to…get there to late…" the kappa frowns then gulps down his beer.

Hakkai looks at Gojyo feeling very guilty, "Gojyo…"

Gojyo leans closer to Hakkai; they met face-to-face, "Hakkai if you're going to say it's your fault…. I'm going to hurt you…"

Hakkai looked at Gojyo confused, "Hurt me? But…I'm injured."

Gojyo smirks, "Think I don't know that? Oh Hakkai…lets go…"

Hakkai stood up and both of them left the Pub and went into the forest to find the next town. Gojyo stopped near a tree and sat down leaning against it. Hakkai stopped with him and looked at him, "Tired?"

Gojyo nods, "Yea it's a bad idea to walk when you half-drunk."

Hakkai smiles at his friend, "Yes it is."

Gojyo grabs Hakkai's arm and pulls him down onto his lap. Hakkai looks at Gojyo wondering if he did this because he was drunk. Gojyo smiles at the green eyed man, "Hakkai your so soft."

Hakkai raised an eyebrow, "What? Soft? What are you talking about?"

Gojyo rubs Hakkai's arm, "Your skin is soft…" he puts his fingers against his lips lightly, "Your lips…so soft."

Hakkai knew he was really drunk; he took the kappa's hand away from him. Gojyo smiles and lies Hakkai down as he got on top of him, "Hakkai, I love you."

Hakkai flinched in pain some, "Gojyo your drunk…and your hurting me."

Gojyo leaned in and kissed Hakkai's soft lips, the green-eyed man eyes widen and pushed the kappa away, "Gojyo stop…please."

Gojyo licks Hakkai's cheek, "Oh but why? Your so soft…"

Hakkai kept pushing away as he flinches in pain, "Because Goku is right there…"

Gojyo looked to his right to see Goku standing there looking surprised. Goku shook his head, "Uh guys…what is going on? I mean…Gojyo why you…I mean…."

Hakkai pushed Gojyo off all the way and went to Goku, Goku…. Gojyo's drunk…so don't think anything…please don't tell Sanzo. By the where is Sanzo?" Hakkai looked around but no sign of Sanzo.
