Chapter 11

Gojyo was still sitting by the kitchen table when Hakkai got back. His shirt was stained a deeper crimson than his hair, and most of the table in front of him was covered in blood too. One of the towels was saturated, but the flow of blood had pretty much stopped. Gojyo was sitting with another towel filled with ice over his nose.

Once Hakkai was inside, and it didn’t seem like Gojyo was apt to attack him, Goku said his goodbyes.

“Sanzo must have a pretty good head start on you, Goku,” Hakkai was saying.

Goku shrugged, “I can catch up to his fat butt no matter what.”

“Ha-ha! I’m sure you can. Watch out for his gun arm though if you come up on him too fast.”

“Yeah, are you gonna be okay now?”

Hakkai looked over to the silent kappa. “Yeah, I think the worst is over.”

“Okay, but I’m coming back to check on you soon.”

Hakkai smiled and bent to kiss Goku on the cheek. “Thank you, Goku.”

“And you!” Goku cried back at the kappa before he bounced off, “Don’t let me catch you hitting him again!”

Gojyo made a sound that sounded like he wanted say, “fuck you,” but it petered out into a low moan.

Hakkai pulled a chair up next to Gojyo. He sat facing the kappa silently, waiting to see if Gojyo would speak to him first. Eventually he said, “You bwoke my nose- fucker.”

Sad green eyes drooped. “I’m sorry, Gojyo. I guess I can’t apologize to you enough right now. Here, let me see.”

Reluctantly, Gojyo removed the ice from his face. His nose was at an unnatural angle. It was swollen and mis-shapen. Bruises were forming under his eyes.

“Oh my, I really did do a number on you,” he said. Not that the inside of my mouth isn’t something close to hamburger. “If it makes you feel better I think I have loose teeth.”

“Yesh, it does.”

Hakkai gently ghosted his fingers over the damaged flesh, reading the Qi patterns there. He was tracing the flow of life force, noting where it became chaotic. There was much damaged tissue, and the bone was shattered. Had Hakkai slammed him just a little harder, he might have sent shards of bone into Gojyo’s brain and killed him. Hakkai shuddered to think on it.

Without warning he grabbed Gojyo’s nose and twisted it. There was an audible snap and the kappa bawled as new blood flow erupted.

“GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! What the fuck is your problem?”

“Your pronouncing things better now.”

“Son of a bitch, Hakkai, you trying to rip it off?” then he paused for a moment, “Yeah, It is working a little better and I can talk. You could have warned me you asshole!”

“You wouldn’t have let me reset it if you knew what I was doing.”

“Son of a bitch. It’s bleeding again.”

“I think I can fix it so it’s not so bad.”

“Why should I let you anywhere near it again after that, you sadistic bastard?”

“I won’t do it again, I promise you.”

Gojyo gave him disparaging looks, but eventually pulled his chair over so that Hakkai could pull right up to him. Gently, he ran his finger-tips over Gojyo’s face. Concentrating, he sent his Qi into the damaged tissue. It required him to focus his mind on loving thoughts, but he wasn’t feeling so loving--or loved--right at that moment.

Gojyo sighed as the edge came off the pain. He leaned forward a little more.

“Every time I don’t think you can shock me again, you do.”

The fingers paused. “Sometimes I shock myself.”

Gojyo started to chuckle, “Ah, man, don’t make me laugh.”

Hakkai began to attack the source of the swelling. He thought he might be able to leave Gojyo with nothing permanent. He would have been bad off had Hakkai not come back.

“Well, this is going to be sore for a while, but I think I can undo most of the damage. Shush, I need to concentrate.”

Hakkai leaned in close to Gojyo. His breath tickled Gojyo’s cheek. When he was close to done, he leaned back again. It took some time to locate and rebuild the damage. Shattered bones were hard to heal. Undamaged tissue was not in abundance. Although he’d repaired the soft tissue, and taken down much of the swelling and pain, the bone would still need to knit on its own. Gojyo would be very sore for a while.

“Are you done?” Gojyo asked.

“Yes,” Hakkai said. “I think I got the bone to knit back together, mostly. Most of the swelling is down. The rest will have to take care of itself I’m afraid.”

Hakkai bent in to kiss him; he brushed his lips against Gojyo’s. Gojyo pulled away.

“Man,” he said, “Not now.”

He pushed Hakkai out of his way. Hakkai was stunned. He had hoped that once things had blown up they would then settle down. He had hoped that the kappa would be more accepting.

“Your angry.” The declaration was steeped in melancholy. Gojyo was not completely unaffected by the pain in Hakkai’s voice.

“No, not any more. Now I’m just numb.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I don’t know yet.”

Gojyo dropped onto the bed, wincing as the movement reminded him he had a broken nose. Hakkai went to sit beside him on the bed. He wrung his hands in his lap. Gojyo’s eyes fastened on the fresh shallow cut there. It didn’t look like he’d gone all that far--but the though had been there. He took Hakkai’s hand in his. He rubbed the ball of his thumb across the palm of Hakkai’s hand and fingers.

They were long and elegant fingers.

That impenetrable sadness was in Hakkai’s eyes again. It was like seeing a forest the day before the loggers come.

Gojyo pulled him down and the Taijiya laid out his body against the kappa. He still felt like Hakkai. His weight was pleasant against Gojyo’s chest. Gojyo had the desire to touch and hold and feel the man against his skin.

He wanted to repel him too.

Eventually, through sheer exhaustion, Gojyo fell asleep. Hakkai lay awake for some time, feeling the rise and fall of Gojyo’s chest as he lay his head against it. He breathed in his scent. Gojyo didn’t know how much he drove Hakkai crazy. He didn’t know that even after years, he was the only thing Hakkai really wanted.

When Hakkai woke up, it was because the kappa was pushing him off. He was getting up off the bed. Gojyo went about the routine of lighting a cigarette. They had slept the night and into the next day. It was hard to tell what time it was. It was overcast out. With the exception of one very bloodied shirt, they were both still wearing their clothes.

Hakkai had missed work.

“You’re leaving?” Hakkai asked him.

Gojyo was retrieving a fresh shirt and his coat. He put his boots on. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back. I just really want to go out and have a drink right now.”

Hakkai slipped over to the doorway and waited for Gojyo to stand. Hakkai was trying to read what was in his eyes.

“Gojyo? Did you mean what you said earlier?” For a moment Gojyo wondered why Hakkai sounded funny, before he remembered he’d slugged him in the jaw.

Gojyo’s eyes narrowed. He stood up and opened the door. Hakkai followed him out onto the porch. “Later man. I have to think about it.”

Hakkai grabbed him and hugged him briefly. “I love you,” he whispered to Gojyo and retreated back toward the house. Hakkai stood for a moment on the porch. He held one hand fisted against his chest. Bruises were darkening along his jaw and neck. His face was a little swollen. The overall impression was one of melancholy, infinite sadness. If Gojyo stared too long, he’d get lost in those eyes again. Gojyo watched him close the door. It was beginning to snow.

He took a drag off his cigarette and walked away.

Hakkai closed the door and leaned against it. He ran his hands through his hair. He held Gojyo’s zippo up. Gojyo would probably not light up again until he got to the bar. Hopefully he wouldn’t realize why Hakkai had taken it right away.

Hakkai opened it and lit a flame. “Well Hakuryuu, are you ready?”
