Chapter 8: Forgive?
Gojyo lays in a bed, his arm had a splint and his wrist had one too. He was all bandaged up. Sanzo was in a chair next to Gojyo's bed; he too had wounds bandaged up but not as much as the kappa's.
Goku was in another room lying on a bed, he was bandaged up, mostly on his chest from where Hakkai clawed at him. Hakkai was there too looking out the window, he was deeply upset. After the thing Gojyo said the night before it bothered him…
Flashback
"Gojyo! Its not my dream to have you dead!" Hakkai yelled worried about the kappa's wounds.
The kappa smiles, "You attacked me…I'm better off dead right?"
The youkai shakes his head, "N-no…I…"
Gojyo sighs, "Let me die Hakkai, I'm better off dead."
Hakkai starts to cry quietly, "Don't say that! Y-"
"Leave him alone Hakkai…"Sanzo was standing there behind Hakkai.
The youkai looks at the monk, "But…"
Goku runs over to Gojyo, "He can't even If he were to give up."
The kappa screamed in pain as the monkey tried to stand him up, "Stupid Monkey!"
Hakkai blinks, "He…"
Sanzo looks at Goku, "Take Gojyo home…Come Hakkai."
End Flashback
Hakkai sighs, "I…. hurt Gojyo." Looks at his hands, "I hurt Goku… I should be the one to die for what I've done."
"Its over Hakkai doesn't matter…it was that Yasuo." The monkey's voice sounded as if he was concerned.
"I know…but I hurt you and Gojyo. Gojyo wanted to die! I…" The youkai sighs sadly.
Goku blinks, "Gojyo was scared…it was his dreams that made him want to die. Dreams that Yasuo put in his head."
Hakkai sighs, "I know that!"

Sanzo sighs, "Why do I have to watch you?"
Gojyo looks at the monk, "Yea that's what I want to know…"
The monk sighs, "Thanks to you and your death wish…Hakkai's upset. He didn't want to watch you…yet they put me in charge. Stupid monkey is 'hurt'…tch."
The kappa rolls his eyes, "Is that Yasuo dead?"
The monk sighs, "Yes after Hakkai ripped him apart I blew his brains out."
The kappa smirks, "Hakkai kicked my ass…"
"Tch…he only did because you gave up on living." Sanzo lights a cigarette.
"Whatever…" The kappa couldn't move so he just closes his eyes.

Goku sighs, "Hakkai you should go see Gojyo. Apologize…. its wasn't your fault you attacked. It was Yasuo."
Hakkai shakes his head slowly, "I can't…I don't think I could look at him."
Goku sits up flinching in pain as he does, "P-please go Hakkai. I don't like it when you're upset…"
The youkai sighs, "Fine…. I'll go see him." Hakkai leaves the room.
He walks into the room where Gojyo and Sanzo are, the monk looks at Hakkai. He stands up and leaves the room, "Don't stress out Hakkai." Hakkai watches the monk leave and sits on Gojyo's bed, "Gojyo…I'm s-"
"Just forget it Hakkai." The kappa didn't want to listen; he opens his eyes to see his friend crying. "H-hakkai? What's wrong?"
The crying youkai looks at him, "I can't forget, I hurt you!"
Gojyo sighs, "It doesn't matter! Its over! I understand everything!"
Hakkai looks at him, "I never wanted you dead. That fakes you got into my head and said to kill you. That's when my limiters came off! I never wanted you to die! And when it was finished you s-"
"Just forget it Hakkai!" The kappa tries to look away.
"No! You said you want to die! You have to stay strong Gojyo! You can't let the past get to you! All you wanted was to be loved! And th-"
"Shut up Hakkai! You don't know what I want! Yo-"
"You shut up Gojyo! I know you well enough to know that was what you wanted! And I thought I was able to give you that! But you ran away making me worry!"
"Hakkai! I ran away because making you worry was something If didn't want to do! And I don't want to be yelled at right now!"
Hakkai looks at the floor, "I'm sorry…I just wanted to get it through that I never wanted you to die. You know I care for you…right?"
"Yea I know…I'm sorry…if I told you what was up none of this would have happened." Gojyo move his arm with the broken wrist onto Hakkai's lap.
Hakkai looks down at his wrist and puts his hands over it, "Will you forgive me? For breaking your arm and wrist?"
Gojyo smirks, "Of course…and to let you know your freakin' scary when you're in raging youkai form."
Hakkai smiles, "Sorry about that."
The kappa laughs slightly, "Its ok, I'm just glad I'm alive."
The youkai nods, "Yea…I'm glad you are too."
