AN: I apologize for the lack of creativity with my title names.
This chapter is starting to get a little darker, introducing the 'protagonist' and such... I reread it and it seems a little rushed to me so I apologize for that as well. I think what I should have done was waited to finish this first and uploaded it as a one shot fic because I think this one is going to turn out rather short.


Hakkai awoke to the sun on his face and sat up. Quickly he recalled the redhead had joined him that night and he turned but Gojyo’s side of the bed was vacant. For some reason, the green-eyed youkai felt a tinge of longing for the other male. He quickly brushed it aside and went into the bathroom to take a shower, replace his bandages, dress, brush his teeth, and then he would go eat something.

While he was eating his breakfast, the redhead’s face appeared in his mind. Hakkai shook his head. Even if he did have these kinds of intimate feelings for the hanyou, that didn’t mean the other returned them. As a matter of fact, he was certain Gojyo didn’t. The man liked women. That much was apparent. He was the biggest womanizer in the village. That thought made him slightly jealous. Hakkai slammed his hands into the table. “What is wrong with me?”

There was a knock at the door. Hakkai cooled himself and stood to open the door. A light haired youkai with a tattoo over his left temple stood lounging against the doorframe. He looked around Hakkai when he opened the door.

“Gojyo home?” The man drawled.

“Ah, no, I’m sorry. I will tell him you stopped by.” Hakkai said and tried to shut the door, but as he expected, the demon stopped the door from closing and opened it again before stepping into the house.

“That’s fine. I’ll wait.” The youkai stated and flopped down on the couch. Hakkai sighed and just left him there, going to clean up the dishes.

“Oi, uhh… Hakkai right? Any idea when Gojyo’s getting back?” The youkai asked from the other room.

“No. He left before I awoke this morning. I am fairly certain he will not be back until late just as usual.”

“Aww, that’s too bad. Then maybe you can help me.” The youkai said as he rose to his feet. “You see, I can’t wait that long.”

Hakkai started to worry. He didn’t trust the man to begin with, and now he held a predatory look in his eyes. Hakkai took a few feet back as the male advanced on him until his back pressed against the wall. When it did, he decided he would fight if he had to so he took a somewhat defensive posture. “I apologize, but I am very busy.”

The demon didn’t reply. He just kept advancing until he had a hand on the wall next to Hakkai’s head, the other was slowly drawing his claws to the tender flesh of Hakkai’s neck. Hakkai’s chin was forced up as his body was forced into a very rigid posture. The youkai’s index and middle claws pressed to his jugular and the claw on his thumb was pressed into his carotid artery. The sharp talons were a warning not to move or he would die. Hakkai stood perfectly still and just glared at the other youkai.

“Aw. Now Hakkai, that’s not a very nice way to treat a house guest is it?” The demon purred practically into Hakkai’s lips.

“Get away from me now.” Hakkai’s voice was sharp and held a dangerous tone. The demon wasn’t very swayed by it however. He leaned in closer to Hakkai’s ear and pressed his hips forward into Hakkai’s thigh.

“I need something. If Gojyo isn’t here to give it to me, then I’m sure his roommate will.” The demon purred directly into his ear, flicking his tongue out to trace the outer edges of it.

Hakkai’s blood ran cold when he felt the rock hard protrusion from the male’s pants. Realization dawned on Hakkai as he added the words with the solid object in his thigh. His face paled, but his steely gaze held.

The male noticed Hakkai’s reaction through the expression in his eyes and took that chance to strike since his prey was temporarily paralyzed. Whipping his hand away he quickly lashed out. His arm collided with Hakkai’s collarbone and pressed up into his Adam’s apple. The other hand balled into a fist and struck the brunette in the stomach in an attempt to subdue him long enough to restrain him.

Hakkai yelped loudly in pain and his body tried to curl up to protect his wounded stomach, but the arm stopped him. Searing pain spread through his midsection like a lit mach to propane. He could already feel warm blood soaking the bandages. Hakkai squeezed his eyes shut and went limp. His body was in far too much pain to bother to hold him up any longer. It didn’t matter if the solid arm against his throat was suffocating him or not. He just couldn’t stand. In the back of his mind he heard a door open followed by footsteps. Or maybe that was his heart drumming in his ears. He wasn’t sure which. He was able to breathe all of a sudden and he opened his eyes. Hakkai was lying on the ground, the youkai was gone, and his eye sight was filled with blood. Flowing blood seemed to overtake his vision until he felt it on his face. Soft, silky, smelling of… It was Gojyo.

“Hakkai? Hakkai! C’mon man! Wha… what the hell happened?! Hakkai!”
