Throbbing, numbing pain.
Pain like he had never felt before.
Reaching from the corners of his body, it stretched and enveloped him completely, and
he thought he would die before he was released from its tight clutches. Of course, the sweet
release of unconsciousness had taken him quickly, and for that he was thankful.
Groaning, Hakkai opened his heavy eyes in pain.
How long had he been out?
The...sun was high in the sky outside...or at least that's what he thought judging by the
light filtering in between the bars on the window, and he coughed in pain, his left hand wiping
the trace of blood from the side of his mouth.
He'd never forget that feeling...
He'd been so...so helpless, like a tiny bug under a magnifying glass's powerful gaze. He
had been...burnt like the sun had picked only him to concentrate its gaze on.
Hakkai coughed more forcefully this time, whole body racking and the chain clacking as it
held him still.
Damn. He was in pain, that was obvious.
He hated this guy, this Jiku. He held him prisoner as though it was the easiest thing to
do, and thought it was a hilarious game all the while. As though Hakkai really WAS a toddler,
unable to protcet or defend himself.
A boy.
No. Negative thoughts...again.
Hakkai bowed his head, trying to keep a smile on his face. But it was useless.
The smile disappeared, and was replaced by a look of despair.
He was trapped, and he had to face the grim reality that there was absolutely nothing he
could do about it. And...the gang. Like they would ever find him. It was like searching for a
needle in a haystack. A goddamn haystack!
Hakkai's temper flared up, which was a rare occasion to see, and he screamed in rage,
pulling at the manacle and tossing straw about, reaching for his power limiter. Why didn't he
think of that earlier? He'd just rip them off and let all hell break loose. Who cares if he killed
this Jiku guy? It would be his OWN damn fault!
His hand gripped his power limiter, and he smirked smugly. "Time to go to hell."
Oh...Hakkai. I thought you were...smarter than that.
Hakkai's hand froze on his power limiter as he heard Jiku's voice. He...didn't see him,
but that didn't mean he wasn't there. Somewhere. Perhaps hiding in the shadows.
"You can't stop me. I'll do what I want to get out of here!"
Oh, but I don't think so...
NO!
Pain hit Hakkai again, like when Jiku had pushed the button, only this time it was
focused, concentrating on attacking his chest.
He...could barely catch his breath.
Was this the way people felt when they had a heart attack?
All you have to do is let go. Don't pull your limiters out. Just let it go...obey
me...Hakkai...obey.
Hakkai hesitated, then put his hand back. "No! I...want out!"
His fingers closed around the power limiters on his ear, and he felt victory in his grasp.
The pain intensified, ten times worse than what it had been earlier, and he screamed.
Agony.
There weren't even WORDS that could describe how much it hurt, and his hands fell
away from his ear.
He had given up! He had stopped trying!
I can see that...but you must learn your lesson. You must obey your
master...Hakkai.
Hakkai felt himself spinning out of control, and the floor fell up to meet him as
everything went dark.
Gojyo had been running ahead of Goku and Sanzo, when he suddenly tripped, falling to
the ground.
"Gah. Stupid clumsy kappa. Can't walk on land, huh?" Sanzo stopped taunting when
he saw Gojyo's back shaking, and his tone grew serious. "Wait. What's the matter?"
Goku finally caught up, dragging their bag of stuff. "What's up with Gojyo? Why's he on
tha ground?"
"Guys...remember when I said earlier that something was wrong with Hakkai?"
Sanzo nodded hesitantly. "Yeah. And then we found those cigarettes but no Hakkai."
"Yeah. Well, that just happened again...that feeling."
"Wait a minute." Sanzo frowned. "What the hell are you talking about...'feeling'?"
Gojyo stood, brushing the sand off himself before wincing. "There was a feeling. I
just...knew somethin' wasn't right, ok? And my feeling was right earlier, wasn't it?"
Sanzo shrugged, looking at Goku, who was gnawing on the bag strap hungrily. "Sure."
"Well...this time it's realy bad. Like he's in real pain."
"What? Like...he died?"
Gojyo frowned, shaking his red head. "Hell no. That's not it. It's like...someone's
torturing him...for fun."
Goku dropped the bag, shocked, and Sanzo paled.
"Then we'd better hurry, huh?"
Nightmares attacked Hakkai as he slept...if you could call it that.
Kannan...dying in front of him.
Him, in his full youkai form...attacking the Sanzo party and drinking the blood from their
still corpses...
He even imagined Gojyo saving him from this hellhole, only for him to turn around and
rip Gojyo's throat out and laugh when he saw the shock and betrayal in the kappa's eyes.
With this last dream, he sat bolt uprigt, breathing heavily.
He...could do all of those things he had dreamt.
He...truly was a monster.
Hakkai curled in on himself, and began to cry.
