A/N: Well, thank you Patriot 16 for sending in another question, and I promise to answer that one soon, but I got in another question that I thought sounded a bit more urgent, so I'll be answering that one first.

The Fellowship of the Advice Column: (Sorry, we're reading and watching LOTR in school, so...)

"Man! People sure responded well to the last column!" Goku grinned as we stared at the pile of letters in front of us.

"Oh, joy." Sanzo said in monotone.

"Come now, it's not so bad." Hakkai reasoned.

"Yeah. No where near as bad as Nutbar." Gojyo sighed in content.

"You guys ready? Here's our letter." I picked one, opened it, and read.

Dear Kairii,

When I was a kid, my father tried to pay my stepdad to adopt me so he
wouldn't have to pay child support. Then he pretty much told me that he didn't
want me in his life. A few weeks ago, he contacted me through email saying
that he knew he was a bad father and he wanted things to change between us. I
am torn between giving him a chance or not. I mean my life had been happy
without him. I've had lots of father figures and I hold alot of resentment
towards him that surfaced when he contacted me. What do you think I should do?

Sincerely,
xHakumeix

"Aww...poor xHakumeix." Goku frowned adorably.

I thought long and hard about the problem presented to me, trying to decide what I would do in the situation.

"Hmm...this is a very difficult one..." Hakkai said quietly.

Gojyo shook his head. "No kid should have to go through that."

"What are you thinking, Kairii?" Hakkai questioned.

"Well, I'm not fully sure..." I replied truthfully.

"You're probably asking yourself the wrong question." Sanzo sighed, causing me to look up from my laptop in shock. "The question you should be asking is, why does he want to get in contact with her so bad."

I thought about this. "Well, he has to have a reason..." I agreed.

"Wow Sanzo, you sure are being helpful lately." Gojyo mused. "I thought you hated every minute of this."

"I do. The faster she comes up with an answer, the sooner I don't have to put up with this." He sighed again.

"Ahh. Makes sense." Gojyo nodded.

"So, what now, Kairii?" Goku asked. I tapped my chin in deep thought.

"I think I know just the thing." I cracked my knuckles and then turned to my trusty laptop.

Dear xHakumeix,

In regards to your relations with your father and putting myself in your position,
I figure that you should probably give him a chance. You should hear him out and
find out why he's become so desperate to meet up with you. It could truly be that
he feels bad for not being there for you before and wants to make things right. This
does not, however, mean you have to take it lying down. You need to stand up for
yourself and tell him just how you feel. Explain that you're hurt. Explain that you're
upset. You don't have to be cruel, but you don't have to let him walk all over you either.
And even if he has changed but you're not ready to forgive him, that's fine. Just remember
that every voice deserves to be heard. Even his. I hope that this advice is of help to
your situation.

Sincerely,
Kairii

I sighed, having finished my letter. "I really hope this helps."

"Mm." Goku nodded.

"Well, I'm going to hand this off to Behind the Desk Lady and then...I dunno...do somethin'. You're welcome to tag along if you like." I offered.

"Pff." Sanzo snorted. "Like hell. I'm going home and going to bed."

"Yes. I should like a rest as well." Hakkai nodded.

"That movie with Jessica Alba is on tonight. Man, she's sexy." Gojyo grinned like a perv.

"Fine. Be that way." I made my way down the stairs, handed off my column, and started walking to my locker.

"Kairii! Hey Kairii!" I turned to see Goku running up to me. I couldn't help but smile. He's just so cute!

"Yeah?"

"Can I come with you?" He pleaded.

"Yeah sure. We can go hang out somewhere and then grab something to eat." I smiled again. He's so darn cute!

"Good." He smiled sweetly. "Kairii, I'm glad we're best friends."

"You know what, Goku." I took his hand in mine. "So am I."

A/N: I'm sorry it took so long to update. I've had a ton of school work lately. Um, so, I really hope the advice helped. And please, feel free to keep me informed. So, I'm thinking of making the next chapter a multiple letter chapter. I have a lot to catch up on. My friend at school has written some letters for me that are, well, to put it simply, insanely hillarious. So, I'll have to answer those.

Aww! A cute Goku moment! Hey, should I make a pairing, or leave as is? Let me know. And send in letters!
