The next morning Gojyo woke up. He was bandaged up, shirtless. There was no one else in the room. Where was everyone? There was one other bed in the room. So obviously he had shared it with someone. Soon the door opened and Hakkai walked in, carrying a couple bags. He placed them down and began to shuffle through them. He saw Gojyo sitting up in the corner of his eye and smiled.
"Good morning, Gojyo."
"Morning."
"I accidentally washed your cigarettes."
"What?"
"So I bought you some more."
"Oh… thanks."
"Mhmm."
Gojyo pulled out a carton of hi-lites and threw them to Gojyo. Gojyo caught the pack, and opened them. Taking a cigarette from the pack. He placed the stick between his lips then patted himself for a lighter. He didn't have any.
"Oh yeah…" Hakkai began.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette lighter and threw it towards Gojyo. Again Gojyo caught it then lit the cigarette, taking a drag of smoke then let it out slowly. Hakkai went back to searching through the bags, making sure everything was all there.
Gojyo caught himself staring at Hakkai as he shuffled through the bags. He really needed to tell Hakkai how he felt. And what a perfect moment. They were alone, no monkey or no pissy monk in sight. Gojyo shifted where he was sitting, reaching out to an astray and placed the cigarette down in the ashtray.
"Hey Hakkai…"
"Yes, Gojyo?" Asked Hakkai
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure go ahead."
This was the moment. The moment he was going to tell him. He could only imagine what Hakkai's reaction was going to be. He hoped it would be something good or else he would fall off the face of the earth. Taking a gulp he looked away from Hakkai, a slight blush coming over his cheeks.
"Well…" He couldn't say it.
"Well what?"
"Well… I think I know someone who has a slight crush on you."
Hakkai stared at Gojyo for a moment, a smirk coming over his lips as he then went back to shuffling through the bag. Once he was satisfied he walked over towards Gojyo and took a seat next to him.
"And who would that person be?"
"Me."
Hakkai's face went pale as he then looked away from the kappa. Gojyo gulped at this sight. Had he said something wrong. Hakkai sighed and turned his face back towards Gojyo. And here it was.
"I'm sorry Gojyo… but I don't…. I don't love you."
Gojyo's head dropped slightly as he then picked up the cigarette and placed it between his lips. So this was how it was going to be. He loved Hakkai and Hakkai didn't love him back. This was just perfect.
"I was joking, Hakkai." He said.
Hakkai patted the kappa on the shoulder. "I can't love anyone after Kanan. I told myself I couldn't love anyone else."
"But you can't keep doing that to yourself, Hakkai. A person needs to love and to be love."
"I know… but I just can't. I'm going to go see what Sanzo's plans are."
Hakkai then stood up and walked towards the door leaving Gojyo alone in the room. Damn, this didn't turn out at all like he had wanted it to. Sighing, Gojyo took a long drag from the cigarette and let out a cloud of smoke. How could he ever face Hakkai again? He wondered.
