Sekowari: I'm back! This time, the fanfic is written in Hakkai's POV. But, yes but, I really think that this one isn't as good as the other stories I wrote. Seriously, I kinda rushed this. I mean, all the pasts of the Saiyuki guys are similar right? Pain, loss, sorrow. So, hope there won't be a lot of flames, but suggestions and advice are definitely welcome! R/R!

If We Could Start Over


Others had always opposed the fact that Kanan and I loved each other. They didn't realize that we were more than just brother and sister.

Our feelings for each other had no limits.

I often told Kanan to be strong in life, for this cold world is full of deception and lies.

Reflecting back on the past, I remember that one night when we sat together in a field and talked to each other.

I made a promise to protect Kanan, always………..

However, not long after that evening, youkai came and kidnapped Kanan. I went after them. Yet, when I finally saw her again, she had the child of that disgusting monster.

Killing a thousand youkai, and becoming one myself. None of that could have been worse than what happened to her.

Still, I was willing to give the two of us another chance. I was willing to start over. Kanan's heart would always belong to me. Isn't that so?

I tried to tell her that everything would be all right, but Kanan didn't seem to hear.

The look on her face was of pure pain and terror.

She took a dagger and pointed it at herself.

Realization stunned me so much that I just stood there, rigid with fear and shock.

So many things were going through my head. I wanted to scream, but my throat was closed up.

I knew then that the promise I had made to Kanan was already broken. I couldn't save her, couldn't reach her.

Tears flowed down her cheeks as she said to me:

"Gonou, I'm so sorry."

And then, blood splattered onto my face. Her blood.

Kanan, my beautiful Kanan, was dead.

I told her to be strong before. But in the end, it was I who didn't do so – I couldn't do anything to help her.

Tell me, how could things have turned out to be this way?


Now, I hide all this with a pleasant, simple smile. Every minute, in every day of my life.

But even so, I'm still Cho Gonou inside.

As long as I live, the scars of the past will always stay with me.
