I haven\'t had a chance to review in a loooong time, and I\'ve read other reviews that have said what I was thinking already. I just wanted to give love and encouragement. This is my favorite Fan Fic of all time! (And that goes waaaay back to XFiles fanfics) I anxiously await the next installment. Oh, and the Sanzo/Konzen thing at the end of the chap.....EXCELLENT! I can\'t wait to see where that goes.

I just caught on to something *LOL* The part where Gojyo jingles a bell and Goku immediately thinks of Lirin. *eheheheh* Don\'t tell me those two have been....er.....intimate? hehehe, if so, I could just imagine Kougaji\'s reaction if he ever found out. Hehehehe. Boy I just pick up on new things each time around that I read it.
It\'s kind of neat thinking of those 4 as a family btw, that they could secretly depend on eachother should they need to. Hm, speaking of issues....will there be a chapter dealing with Sanzo as well as Goku\'s issues too? Oh yes that was the other part I was curious about, who else did Goku \'play cards\' with?

Hello. I just wanted to post a quick comment. I\'ve been following this story for some time now & have just really been drawn into it. I enjoy reading fanfic, particularly slash, but this story has somehow meant a lot more to me. I took a little time warming up to the whole split personality concept, but am now accustomed to it. I of course love the smut & have found myself having a little understanding of kink that I did not really possess before. I adore Gaiden stories & have appreciated the flashbacks. As the \"past lives\" personalities of our characters play a lot in this tale, it is also good to go back & see them in that time. The torture was difficult to stomach, but I appreciate the necessity of telling a story full-on, not watered down. I didn\'t realize when I began to read this story, where it would take me. I think your words may very well influence the way I think about Saiyuki (& particularly my dear Hakkai & Gojyo) in the future. This last chapter (12) - I just really felt it & found myself surprised to be emotional and tearing up during Gojyo\'s song. I rarely get emotional over fanfic! Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for writing this story. I thought perhaps this chapter was the end, but am pleased to see that you are planning to continue it. I look forward to future chapters & whatever else you may write in the future. Take care & thanks again.

You made me cry ... it was so moving ... I couldn\'t get any work done for at least an hour. Once again a beautifully thought out chapter, with a new take on Gojyo\'s background that is genuinely heart-warming and distressing at the same time. Misunderstandings resolved ... yay. I liked how Hakkai just stood in the rain, not caring about how he was cold and it just reminded me of earlier on in the fic when Gojyo said \"I guess when he falls in love, it really is forever\". Ahhh, bless.
Something that can\'t be said ... but can be written, on a cast that contains an injury nonetheless, it\'s supremely poetic and yet as stark as the trees with no leaves.
It\'s noticeable too that neither one of them has said \'love\' yet as if it doesn\'t need to be said, or they\'re afraid of saying it. Possibly because neither of them know what love means anymore; they only have mixed up versions of it, so the feeling of \'love\' has lost its resonance and doesn\'t feel as special lanymore. Poor Gojyo and poor Hakkai ...
I also like Konzen coming into play about how he doesn\'t really see Goku as an almost-adult and how he still has affections for Tenpou without realising that Sanzo is no longer him and Hakkai is no longer Tenpou. The idea of the characters having the same core but coming out with different result is always a challenge, but you did such a marvellous job of it. It\'s easy to forget that Konzen has had a relative who loves him and relatively comfortable life whereas Sanzo fought for his life from day one same as Tenpou has a job which is to protect (his troops) and can channel the need to protect to them whereas Hakkai has nothing to protect apart from himself and actively seeks other people. I\'m procrastinating now....
Ahh that other reviewer is right! Its just like waiting for the dvds and manga to come out. I alway check my inbox daily just to see if you are early with the installment, so I can copy and paste it into the file for some serious re-reading (tomorrow I\'m on my own, so I\'m curling up with cocoa and gonna read the whhoooooole thing).
Continue please! I love these installments.

(Sitting in corner sobbing.)
Ego 1: ....You\'re on.
I\'m on?
Ego 2: Yes, dipshit, start the review.
(Whipes tears, force-smile.) That. Was. Awesome. I can\'t put my awe into words. I love this fanfiction so damn MUCH! You litterally had me sobbing throughout the chapter. Though I hate it, I love it all the same. It\'s VERY hard to make me cry, so I comend you!
LMFAO. The Konzen and Sanzo bit had me cracking up, though. I had to run to my friend and scream about how Konzen bitches at Sanzo for being a pedophile. Damn pedophile priest (hey! Alliteration!) But we love him that way.
It\'s funny how you can get me to scream at this story. XD Like, I was yelling at Konzen to shut the fuck up and let Sanzo bang Goku so Gojyo can do Hakkai. (Perverted, shhh!)
As always, you continue writing, I continue to spare your life and review. (Blow kiss.) Tootles! And DEEPLY looking forward to next chappie!

Wow, you did a really good job with chapter 12 and there was a lot of sensual (ok people I meant word wise!) description, just very lush. Hehe and that made it easy to do a lot of visualizing :D I am most definately looking forward to the next installment. ^.^V

Hurray! Technically, you delivered one big orgy...er...threesome. And I must say, all joking aside, the situation and set-up was totally believable, something I honestly didn\'t think could happen. Brilliant, but not obvious lead-ins, I commend you for them ^_^ One little detail that stood out the most to me in this chappy was the \'stamp\' and \'flip\' parts. Gods, that was awesome, the atmosphere you create in this story never ceases to amaze me. The whole scene with Konzen pacing just shouted repetition, I could actually hear the stamp and flip noises superimposed on his strides, and contributing to a \'flip-flop\' noise of his sandals; combined with the rhythm of the section...*falls over dead*. I hope you\'re happy, you short-circuited me. Lovely, lovely job with this chappy...can\'t wait to see what happens in the human world.

I forgot to ask, will there be anymore youkai hakkai and gojyo scenes? Ooh, this time with two limiters off ^.^V or maybe all of them? hehehe. Ok I guess I just liked that part too much *LOL* Hm, and it\'s too bad Goku\'s natural form couldn\'t be used with Sanzo *insert evil laugh* Boy, that would be interesting, if only he had his memories back and his personality was once again intergrated. *sigh* Oh well, I really love reading Hakkai X Gojyo. ^.^V
