Gojyo sat there on the couch; he was just relaxing smoking his cigarette. Hakkai walks into the room, he wore a long sleeved shirt. The kappa only notices his shirt because the youkai just started to wear them. The weather outside was hot up around 90 degrees, yet Hakkai wore his sweater. The green-eyed youkai sits in a chair next to the couch and stares at the ceiling. The kappa found this strange usual his friend would be reading a book.
The kappa sets his cigarette in an ashtray then puts his hands behind his head and looks at Hakkai, "Hey Hakkai, why are you staring at the ceiling."
Hakkai looks at the kappa and gives him a small smile, "I'm just tired..."
"Maybe your tired because of the heat, and for the fact your wearing a sweater in this weather." the kappa said picking up his cigarette and smokes it.
The friendly youkai stands up and pulls down his sweater past his wrist, "I'm sorry, but I just want to wear a sweater. And I have to go get some food, so Ill be back." He walks out of the house.
Gojyo found this strange he wonders if Hakkai was up to something. Just all the sudden the kappa's friend started acting weird, not smiling as much wearing sweaters. Maybe Hakkai was depressed or something. Nah can't be, he lives with the kappa and he hasn't done anything to hurt the youkai.

Hakkai walks through the streets on his way to the store, he got odd looks from people. Was it because the youkai looked upset, or was it because he held his sweater sleeves so they would go past his wrists? Either way the youkai just had to mind his business and ignore the people around him. He goes into the store and down to the fruits; he stands there looking at some apples. Time seem to slow down as he stares at the apples, he thought of his past. He looks at his hands they were covered in blood; he looks up to see his sister lying there dead. Hakkai holds his stomach feeling his scar burning; he closes his eyes in pain.
"Hakkai?" a voice asks.
"Hey Hakkai, are you ok?" another voice asks.
Hakkai opens his eyes seeing he was at the store, he looks at Goku and Sanzo standing there giving him a worried look. "Oh, Sanzo and Goku."
Sanzo raises an eyebrow, "Are you alight? You spaced out then held your stomach as If you were in some sort of pain."
The youkai gives the two a small smile, "Sorry about that, its nothing."
Goku was looking past the youkai at the apples, "Hey Sanzo! I want apples! And I w-" The monk hit the monkey over the head, "I'll get whatever fits my needs monkey."
The monkey gets puppy eyed at the monk, "Please Sanzo?"
The monk sighs, "Fine! By the way Hakkai, are we still going to have dinner at your place?"
"Dinner?" Hakkai looks at the monk confused.
"Yea dinner, remember you invited us. I was just making sure it was today, other wise Ill need to find a way to feed the monkey. He won't eat anymore vegetables that the others give him" The monk looks at the youkai with an odd look.
"Oh yea, I remember and it is today." The friendly youkai looked upset again.
"Yay! Hakkai's cooking!" Goku says practically dancing.
Hakkai didn't try to smile, "Yea that's why I'm here...to get dinner." The youkai nods to them and finishes shopping.

Gojyo was still on the couch smoking; he looks at the door as Hakkai walks in with a bag of food. The youkai walks to the kitchen; the kappa sneaks behind him and follows. The youkai set the bag of food on the counter and sighs, "What's wrong Hakkai?"
Hakkai jumped a little being scared, "Gojyo you scared me... and nothing is wrong."
Gojyo sighs, "Very well, why you get this type of stuff?" He looks through the bag of food, "Sanzo and Goku are coming for dinner." The youkai say as he puts the food away.
The kappa blinks, "They're coming over? Great... well Hakkai I'm going to take a nap. I need rest before I tease the monkey." Hakkai nods and the kappa walks to his room.
The youkai finishes putting away the food, and walks into his room. Closing the door behind him he takes off his shirt. He looks at the scar on his stomach and sighs remember how he got it. He looks at his wrists both had bandages wrapped around them, and takes off the bandage revealing cuts across his wrists. They start to sting in pain and the youkai falls to his knees in pain. He tires to be quiet so Gojyo doesn't come in and see what he has done. He gets back up and walks to his bed, he moves his pillow revealing a pocketknife lying there. He picks it up and looks at the dried blood that was on it, he sighs as he sits down on his bed. He puts the blade against his wrist; he flinches in pain as he starts to cut lightly.
