Chatter!
Voices filled the area while Hakai was drifting deeper into his sleep.
"Huh?" He rose from a park bench with a bubble inflated from his nose.
Bop!
The little bubble out of his nose popped. "What? Morning?" He said as he scratched his eyes, looking around. "Will you all quiet down!" He shouted at the people passing by. Although no one answered him, he still was irritated with his arms crossed. "I'm just gonna go." He yelled into the crowd as he stood up from the bench. Stomping the ground, he left the park while pouting.
"Yeah, I really can't help but feel empty," Hakai uttered his breath as he placed his hands inside his pockets. "Oh, oh!" He screamed while searching around in his pocket. "I feel it, I feel it!" He called, pulling his right hand out and lifting high while holding a piece of bubble gum. Quickly taking the wrapper off, he threw the wrapper on the ground and threw the gum into his mouth, "Mmm!" He savored the flavor with his hand on his cheek. "Lovely, lovely!" He shouted with an exciting look. "What did I get?" He asked as he held another folded wrapper. "Ohh! A dragon!" He screamed as he admired the little picture given with these bubble gum. "I don't feel lonely anymore!" He shouted as he held it high, walking down the crowded sidewalk.

"Aha!" He yawned on top of the skyscraper. "I'm so bored!" He complained as he stretched out. "Oh! I have an idea!" He opened his eyes wide while thinking. Then, he stood up and dangled his left foot over the skyscraper. He allowed himself to fall. "Hachiman!" He shouted while falling. "Here I come!" Hakai followed up with a big smile.
***
"Hachi!" He screamed outside of the main shrine. "Hachi!" Hakai placed his hands around his mouth to amplify the sound waves. "Hachiman!" He shouted with all his might.
"Shut up!" Hachiman screamed from inside his Takamagahara.
"Hell no, I already threw a gold coin for a wish, now hear me out, Hachi dear!" He taunted him while throwing his hips around.
"You-" Hachi settled down as he sighed and accepted his request. "Just so you know, I don't have to grant you the wish," Hachi informed him. "What's your wish, anyway?" He asked, disappointedly placing his hand on his forehead, not believing that he was accepting a request from Hakai.
"So, I have been having troubles maintaining stamina," Hakai informed him as he twirled his index fingers around each other.
"And?" Hachi asked, even though he knew what was coming next.
"Can we train for a bit?" Hakai said as he placed his hands behind his back. "Oh, yeah." He clapped twice and closed his eyes. "That's my wish, by the way." HAkai peaked with one eye and a cheeky smile.
"You! Uhh, come in." Hachi sighed, yet he agreed to fulfill his rival's wish.
"Yes, fool fell for it." Hakai clenched his fist in victory.
"Hakai!" Hachi screamed through the portal.
Wham!
Hakai entered the dimensional bridge connecting this realm to the higher plain.
"Hehe." He laughed in a cutesy way.
Zwoop!
Hakai's body flickered into the main shrine.
"Yo, Miko-Chan!" He saluted her with two fingers.
"oh, Hakai God, welcome." She greeted with a slight bow while holding a tray.
"What's that, what's that?" He ran over to her with curiosity beaming from his essence.
"Butter cookies with chocolate icing and green tea for his Highness." She told him while watching him over the tray.
Drolling, he couldn't contain himself.
"Lord Hakai, that's for Lord Hachiman!" She said with a slight blush while he snatched a handful.
"W-whell, he, dhoesn't have to know." He spoke with his mouth full.
"Please don't talk with a mouthful!" She advised him while wondering how her homemade cookies tasted to Hakai.
"This is delicious!" He screamed inside the shrine.
"Hah." Miko flustered while looking up at him. "Are they really?" She asked him while trying to hold back her relief and nervousness.
"Hmm, hmm. I love your cookies, Miko-Chan!" He said with a big smile.
"Thank goodness." Her gentle smile extended from ear to ear.
"But there are some that are stuck in my throat." Hakai stood there pale.
"Oh, wait, wait!" She shouted while placing the items on the ground and pouring tea for him. "Here, be careful, some tea, tea." She informed Hakai as she held the cup next to his face.
Exaggerating the scene a bit, he held his throat with a handful of cookies, and with the other empty hand, he grabbed the tea. Hakai chugged all the tea without realizing it was fresh and hot. "Hot!" He shouted as he gulped it down with force. "Th-thank you, Miko-Chan." He cried out to her. Then, hands-on his knees, he held out the cup in her direction.
"Don't worry about it." She said while accepting the cup with both her delicate hands.
"Where's Monkeyface?" He jolted up as if nothing had just transpired. Then, taken back a bit, she pointed him to the main hall. "First room, on the right, Lord Hakai."
"Thanks, Miko-Chan!" Hakai thanked her as he walked in that direction.
"At your service, lord Hakai." She bowed slightly.
"Oh, Miko-Chan." He called out while looking back, munching on her cookies. "Call me, Haki!" He informed her with an idiotic, mouthful expression. Then, he turned around and walked into the hall with an extensive and soft smile.
"Yes, Haki-Kun." She said under her breath, with her face flushed.
"Oi, Monkeyface!" He shouted, walking into his room with a handful of butter cookies.
"What?" He shouted with his lungs full while standing up from his comfortable ground sitting position.
"Training," Hakai said blankly while still munching on the cookies.
"Chocolate icing. Cookies shaped like swords and shields?" Hachiman pondered his thoughts. "My cookies!" He yelled at Hakai while grabbing a nearby cushion. "Ahh!" He threw the pillow with the slightest strength.
Bam!
It shot through another wall, yet somehow, Hakai managed to dodge the incoming cushion with relative ease. "They're good," Hakai informed him. "Ok, let's train!" He told Hachi, who took deep breaths in. It seemed Hakai had gotten on his last nerves this time, yet he calmed down and sat back with force.
"Fine, let me get a snack first!" Hachiman said with a pout.
