Gojyo-san.

No, no, it's a perfectly valid question, Hatori-san. And he's in all his right to be protective of Sempai, after all.

I'm leaving, because I have never really liked this place. I love the people here, I've learned a lot from both the good and the bad, but... this is not where I belong. I would be lying if I said I didn't miss doing my job back home, or travelling around.

And Kotobuki needs me. She is a very strong, independent woman, but I'm sure she needs me, just like I need her.

Like I told Hatori-san, I am aware I'm being selfish... but I haven't been, in a long while, and I feel like I need a vacation from this vacation. I don't know if I will ever come back... or if I will remember... but I at least know that I won't lose touch with people like Sohma-san, or Sempai.

Sempai won't be happy... because I promised him I would not leave before him. He will beat me up and berate me, and refuse to go on dates with me for a very long while. But I know he won't hate me for it... or anything like that. He won't resent me.

And he'll be okay because we will see each other again. It has always been like this between us.

[GOJYO SNATCH!]

Man, you two are so fuckin' complicated. I don't think he'd be happy to know you're assuming all these things.

[slight frown at the cigarettes :/]

I'm not really assuming? I mean... I've known him for many years now... and of course things could be different this time, but... I guess I'll take my chances.

... If you say so. I know this ain't none of my business, but I've been here since before you arrived, so.

...

Shit, it'll be two years in less than a month.

There, there, Gojyo-san is a very strong person! I'm sure you'll be able to leave too, soon.

(frozen comment)

[sexy-roach.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

Speaking of, my request: I want you to take the brat with you.

... Ah. Tokitoh-kun, you mean?

[sexy-roach.livejournal.com]

Yeah... his creepyass partnerloverthing left a while ago. He'll bitch and moan and try to kill us, but... it'll be for the best.

(frozen comment)

[pictureustogether]

Weren't you just telling me not to assume things about people? Besides, I thought you didn't like him.

[o god, these two]

(frozen comment)

[sexy-roach.livejournal.com]

Look, LOOK. I don't like the guy, he's loud, and obnoxious, and completely retarded. But I'm not a bad person. And I know that if I were in his place, I'd like to get back home too. It sounds stupid, but... I feel like I can relate to him a great deal.

(frozen comment)

[pictureustogether]

Well, you two are definitely alike in more than one way, so I'm not all that surprised to hear that.

(frozen comment)

[pictureustogether]

In that case, wouldn't Gojyo-san like to come too?

(frozen comment)

[sexy-roach.livejournal.com]

No thanks.

[scratches the back of his neck]

Ehh... I whine a lot, but I do kinda like this place. And yeah, I miss Hakkai, and the monkey, and that shitty monk, but... there's people here I wanna look after. Not to mention that fuckin' bishop. Who knows what he might try if I'm not around?

'sides, the others were asked by the Three Aspects themselves to get their asses back, so it'd be kinda like cheatin'. Of course, it doesn't make me happy to know people are doing just fine without me back home, but I like to think that's only cause I'm more needed here. Call it ego if you want, but that's just the way it is.
