Yeah. Ken'yuu to his classmates and Ken'yuu as he really is are different. He's...yeah. Very introverted, very untrusting (he sits knees to chest when he doesn't have to lotus...and even when he's Nii-ing, he'll have one arm or something protecting himself at crucial times - when Kou comes back with his control over himself regained for example), and he plays the class clown, but I suspect he got wedgie'd or whatever it is Sanzo Seedlings do when they gang up on the quippy geek.
Being a bright kid is...it sure makes the parents proud but it's a social death sentence. I think Ken'yuu is trying to re-make himself at the temple...and over and over again. He drops names, tries to abandon who he was, but dammit, he is still a somewhat surly introverted socially-odd teenage punk inside and I think it pisses him off.
Wherever you go, Nii, there you are.
*bunny smacked*
Yeah. Hakkai's smile is a mask too but it's a different kind. He smiles all the time because he doesn't want to burden other with his troubles. And his 'monster' side is...damned if he doesn't remind me of a bigass dobermann ripping into someone who messed with HIS PEOPLE. Or perhaps a wolf? He says to Goku to stand back, but it's less that he won't know allies than he doesn't want Goku to see him going all Hunter. The 'not knowing friend from foe' thing is disproven in Hakkai and Gojyo's burial arc - Gojyo's just lying there, an easy target, but he's untouched. Gojyo is part of the Pack. He's the one being defended.
Both Hakkai and Nii go bitey rar but...yeah. Hakkai has that fundamental LOVE thing. Poeple who accept him for who he is. They know all his dark spots, but hey - Hakkai's darkness makes his glowy parts burn brighter.

Nii, though, needs a lighter. Poor punk.
