Hakkai had noticed Gojyo the moment he'd entered the building, even from half-way across it. His lover's scent had reached the sensitive nose of his youkai form before Gojyo had even started to call out for him. He immediately headed toward the half youkai, moving fluidly through the foliage without disturbing a single leaf.

There wasn't even a rustle to announce him as his stepped out of the bushes to Gojyo's right. "You're back," he repeated his earlier comment, his voice low, almost a purr. This time his words were much surer because Gojyo standing before him was so very real, much more than words read on a machine.

[bloodmemo]

That voice sent a pleasant shiver running down his spine. Low, sexy...evil. Even as Gojyo found himself aroused, he felt like running out of there and away from the creature that had haunted his dreams for months, repeating a nightmare that had actually happened in reality. The redhead tried not to choke as he moved closer to Hakkai, reminding himself that the Minus Wave did not exist here and Hakkai was in no danger of losing himself.

"Yeah...yeah, I am," Gojyo answered, swallowing thickly as his eyes drank in Hakkai's beautiful youkai form. He was a temptation beyond sin. Gojyo's hands itched to trace the vines on the youkai's skin and he clenched them at his sides. "What you said about not paying attention..." he began, but trailed off, his hastily prepared scolding now gone.

[obsessive_guilt]

"Hmmm?" Hakkai hummed questioningly, a deep rumble in his throat. Gojyo had seemed like he was going to say something about that when they'd been talking in the machines earlier, and now again. It made Hakkai curious as to what would be following that lead-in.

He took a gliding step forward so that he was standing right beside Gojyo and leaned in to sniff along his neck, taking in his scent and exhaling a rapacious sigh. He'd missed Gojyo so much, and he'd been gone so long. He'd withdrawn into himself, away from everyone else he'd come to know here. There hadn't seemed anyone to bring it up with: Skuld had things on her mind, the Goku he'd known had been replaced by a new one, and the Genjo Sanzo was hardly someone he found easily approachable. The monk was an idol to Hakkai, someone he treated as though he were a god incarnate.

"Gojyo..." he murmured, nuzzling at the other's neck, happy to have him back.

[bloodmemo]

"You--" Gojyo tried again, but was cut off when Hakkai suddenly moved, graceful and calm as you please, and then started nuzzling him. He was about to tell him off for apparently being careless in his absence, but now guilt ate away at the kappa's thoughts. What had he been thinking, sleeping around this gorgeous youkai? Hakkai wasn't doing anything else just yet and already Gojyo could feel a slight buzz, like he was getting drunk on the brunet. And too easily, at that.

"I guess I'd take it you missed me, eh?" he kidded as he wrapped his right arm around Hakkai's waist, his left hand holding the back of the youkai's head tenderly. Gojyo gently pulled him back, then tilted his face up to him so that he could kiss him, quick and chaste on the lips. He tightened his hold around him and pressed their hips together. "You're beautiful," he said, out of the blue.

[obsessive_guilt]

Hakkai involuntarily gave a playful growl at the contact between their hips. "I wasn't myself without you," he said, ignoring Gojyo's later comment to answer his earlier. It was true; he'd merely been bouncing around aimlessly while Gojyo had been gone, waiting for him to come back. Hoping that he would be coming back.

[bloodmemo]

That was for sure. He wouldn't have taken off his power limiters willingly if he was himself, and it didn't look as if Hakkai had been in any big fights recently. Not unless this one often took his limiters off...nah.

"Sorry," he murmured, cupping the youkai's face, "I couldn't help it."

[obsessive_guilt]

"I know," Hakkai said, tilting his head to give nibbling kisses up Gojyo's neck. "They did it before. But it was so much," he paused, attempting to pull his thoughts together, to give himself some semblance of order now that Gojyo was back. "So much harder," he finished, bumping his hip against Gojyo's.

[bloodmemo]

Gojyo groaned, then gripped Hakkai's shoulders firmly, pulling the brunet off him. As sexy as Hakkai was in this form, it still unsettled the redhead a lot. He was aroused and afraid at the same time; he couldn't think. "Where are your limiters?" he asked, looking around. When he tried to take a step back however, he found out that he couldn't. What the fuck? "Hakkai..." he half-groaned, half-growled, thinking it was the youkai's doing.

Above them, hard to notice among all the greenery, was a mistletoe.

[obsessive_guilt]

Hakkai took Gojyo's utterance of his name to be a protest that Hakkai hadn't produced his limiters quickly enough, so he reached into his pocket, having a muscle memory of placing them there, even if he didn't actually remember doing so. Sure enough, they were there, and he pulled them out, holding them out to Gojyo on an up-raised palm.

[bloodmemo]

Hakkai handing him his limiters, the last time he'd done that...Gojyo's body shook at the memory even with the mistletoe's magic. He had to remind himself that Hakkai was giving the cuffs to him now to replace, not to keep while he went to fight. As he reached for them however, he found out that he couldn't move his arm either. He frowned at Hakkai.

[obsessive_guilt]

And now Gojyo was frowning at him. Was he supposed to have just put them in? Frowning a bit himself, he reached up to settle his limiters on his ear. He wasn't careful about it, or even kind, just shoving them onto the ear rim.

Why was Gojyo making a deal out of whether he was wearing his limiters or not? he thought as he made the transition to his more human-like form. Gyokumen-sama wasn't here, and neither were her followers. They wouldn't be punishing for going around without them.

[bloodmemo]

Gojyo watched Hakkai return to his normal form, almost overwhelmed by the sudden change in his youki level. Hakkai was really, really hot as a youkai, but he really prefered the brunet's human form. The youkai form still stirred unpleasant memories for him and left a ton of bricks in his stomach.

"You--do you usually take your limiters off?"

[obsessive_guilt]

Hakkai considered that question for a moment before answering. What was usually, anyway? If there was a criteria for that, he wasn't sure what it would be.

But probably he didn't take them off often enough to reach it. "Before coming here I didn't. It would have been...troublesome. To be caught without them. But there isn't really a reason not to here, is there?"

[bloodmemo]

"I...I guess not," Gojyo answered. There was no Minus Wave here in econtra so Hakkai wasn't in danger of going berserk. It was just Gojyo who had issues about him without his limiters.

"Uh...you haven't been eating regularly, have you? You look thinner." He did. "Come on. I'm hungry. Let's go grab something to eat," the redhead invited him and tried to reach for Hakkai's wrist and turn around at the same time, but couldn't. "The fuck!?" he exclaimed before he could stop it.

[obsessive_guilt]

Gojyo's comment on his apparent weight made Hakkai consider it. He really hadn't been eating much, as it happened. Only when he'd remembered that he was hungry, that he could actually take care of one of those gnawing feelings. And even then, sometimes he had preferred to simply let himself forget it again.

He looked at Gojyo questioningly when he didn't move. "Are you...?"

[bloodmemo]

"I can't move!" Gojyo exclaimed, wrinkles forming between his brows and a very deep frown on his lips as he struggled to raise one foot again. "I thought it was you keeping me here or something."
