I think he hates being a shinki. I wouldn't say that he particularly hates being your shinki.
[More that he aggressively refuses to care whose shinki he might be; which, well, if it's working out for him, Hakkai doesn't see how that's reasonable but he supposes everyone copes with it in their own way.
He's not happy with anyone holding that kind of power over him, himself. Perhaps it makes it easier for Sanzo to think of the bonds as individually meaningless if he has enough of them.
Speculating about Sanzo's motives, he decides, is probably just going to leave him with a headache. He glances around, instead, raising his eyebrows in polite appreciation.]
