Chapter 2: Fear

Gojyo sits there at the breakfast table; he was staring at his glass of orange juice. He never really liked orange juice but he had gotten a lecture from Hakkai about how it's good for you. Hakkai sets a plate of food in front of the kappa; as he went across the table and sat down to eat. The youkai looks a the kappa, "Everything alright Gojyo?"

Gojyo looks up his friends, "Oh…yea…" He picks up his fork and starts to stab at some eggs.

Hakkai watches the kappa curiously, "You sure your alright Gojyo?"

"Shit, I'm worrying Hakkai…" Gojyo thinks as he looks up at the youkai and smiles. The kappa eats his eggs, "I need to be careful, and I cannot make Hakkai worry."

Hakkai eats his breakfast, he finishes up and takes Gojyo's dishes, and of to the kitchen he went. Gojyo leans back in his chair and puts a cigarette in his mouth; he sits there listening to the sound of the youkai washing the dishes. The kappa went off daydreaming, it was almost like he had fallen asleep.

Daydream:

There Gojyo stood in a dark room, he couldn't see a thing around him. He could barely see his hand when he raised it up in front of his face. He heard something; it was as If someone was walking towards him. He felt hands go around his neck, the kappa turned around. Bam! A bright light went into his eyes; he felt a pain in his side. Down he went to the floor, holding his side. He looks up to see Hakkai standing there with a knife in his hand, "Die Gojyo."

Gojyo looks down at his side, it was bleeding. He felt the youkai grabs his hair and lifts him up from it, straight in eye the youkai looks at the kappa. "Gojyo no one will ever love you…your better off dead."

Off went Gojyo's head and it falls to the floor.

End Daydream

Gojyo was now on the floor in fear, he fallen out of his chair. He almost screamed seeing Hakkai wanted him dead. Hakkai walked into the room, "Gojyo? Are you alright?"

"Leave me alone! I'm fine!" The kappa yells and runs out of the house.

The youkai follows him, "Gojyo! Wait!"

The kappa kept running, "Don't follow me!" He stops quickly, "No…no this is like my dream…" He shakes his head, "No please don't be real…"

Hakkai runs up to him, "Gojyo…"

The kappa shakes his head, "Leave me alone…you just want me dead. So maybe I should just go and tell Sanzo to shoot me."

Hakkai was shocked at what the kappa was saying, "Gojyo! I don't want you dead! What makes you think that!"

Gojyo shakes his head again, "Everything would be better off if I were dead right?"

The youkai grabs Gojyo's shoulder and turns him around, "Gojyo look at me!"

The kappa looks at the upset youkai, "I don't want you…dead. You saved me and I have no reason to want you dead."

The kappa shakes his head, "No…I should leave…"

Hakkai felt tears going down his cheeks, "Gojyo…no…"

The kappa runs away, "Later…"
