This is part two of "The B*tch Sessions."  It has nothing to do with part 
one.  

Warning: spoiler for ep and some bad language (i think, it's hard to remember 
at 4 am..)

Again, C&C/flames/whatnot welcome.

~CHICHIRI~

Today, I almost laughed.

I mean, the type of laugh where your stomach hurts and you're crying.  Not 
the type where you smile a little and blow some air out of your nose.  Or a 
little giggle that *everyone* mistakes for a girlish laugh and then they 
wonder about meā€¦Those types of laughter are what I usually do.  I never laugh 
like I mean it.

But I almost did.

I almost lost it, almost forgot my pain.

I have pain, lots of it.  Along with an unhealthy dose of guilt and 
self-loathing.  I know this.  I've accepted it.  They're quite the 
punishment.  But how could I not hate myself?  I make myself sick to my 
stomach.  I'm not supposed to let this pain go, I can't laugh like that, and 
damn Tasuki for trying to make me.

Hikou's laughter was always *so* unbelievably irritating.  He never laughed 
so much as snorted like his father's herd of pigs.  Plus, it was a full-body 
laugh which would usually send him rolling to the ground or plowing into me.  
It was the most annoying thing I can think of.  

I would sell my soul if I could hear it again.

But I don't have his laugh.  I have his scream.  The last thing that ever 
came from him was a panicked, childlike cry for me to help him.  Help him?  
It was me that put him in the river in the first place.  

I have his pain, his fear right before dying.  It's my pain.  I need it;  I 
deserve it.  

I can't talk about this pain to anyone.  If I did, they would want me to get 
rid of it.  They wouldn't understand at all.  My pain is solitary, fit just 
for me.  

Death is a wonderful tailor.
