Another Saiyuki drabble

[narcasse]

I wrote a Hakkai drabble, a real Hakkai drabble. How bizarre. But it’s in reply to the Hazel one earlier.

I meant to address the business of it not at all being just a simple conflict, rather that it’s nothing to do with the trappings of Catholicism versus Buddhism but rather due to the very balance of things, the way in which the cycle works and how it shouldn’t be messed with by either side. Though I suppose I could always come back to that at a later date.



Simple

Disclaimer: Saiyuki belongs to Kazuya Minekura and associates.

Hakkai’s POV.

Companion piece to “Missunderstanding”.

It is not that simple. This is not a matter of East versus West.
Not Buddhism versus Catholicism.
Because Sanzo carries a name that is a title. Because you have a mission that is your life.
It is not because you are a foreigner in our far distant land.
It is not that simple. Not because you are human and I am not.
Not because you have faith while I gladly cast mine aside.
It is not a matter of my past or of my revenge.
But now I must wonder if for you, it is that simple after all.

Hazel got to say something so apparently Hakkai wanted to say something in return.
