Hakuryuu means litterately 'white dragon' it's more of a descriptiion used as a name.. like if he had been a dog he would be called 'dog' likely.
Jeep or Jippu is also a lagitimate name. Only hakkai calls him white dragon, most the rest of the guys call him jeep.. or 'the parrot' or 'the rat with wings' and many other interesting pet names.
I found the link somewhere else and jfallfallowed along, hoping for a good story, so far it's excellent. I love the charactorizations, and frankly don't let some of the so called purists who have little real clue about the langrage they are sticking so close to dictate how you write the story! (unless you're done, then don't let them dictatte future stories!)
anyway off to finish the current chap I'm on then off to chap three.. likely tomorrow cause I'm about to fall asleep..
Well lovely story I really like it. Baibai You’re very right about the Hakuryuu thing, thank you! style='font-family:Wingdings;mso-ascii-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings'>J We have much more silly characterizations ahead, like drunk Hakkai! |

Now THAT was a crude chapter!
I must say that One thing I like a lot about your story is the Pulp Fiction style you use!! Love the swearing of the guys and the way the class=SpellE>reffers about some, erm, things! I know the story is very angsty but the way they relate the events when you full use the POV way is just too funny.
I loved the surrealistic (like magic-realism hahaha class=GramE>)scene with Hakkai and Kanzeon drinking. And I also loved the ending of your last chapter (7) with the Goku thing.
Other last thing, I support the idea of Dreams Coast about: "they could get more love from Goku and/or Hakkai!" it could get very interesting too.
You're wonderfull, please keep going! Lol class=GramE>, and keep going we shall! I just can’t leave Sanzo alone. And my gripe is Sanzo and Goku are sweet together… but no sex, damn it! Goku’s not meant for sex!! (cuddles him protectively) Angst IS funny- especially when its not you. |

I can't believe what an outstanding writer you are. Everything about this, draws me into it. I can't stop reading...The emotional highs and lows, curvs and twists were perfect. Sanzo certainly wouldn't be happy with the "morning after". I think you also made a very good justification almost, to the pairing. Both of them need love. Badly, and some might argue "they could get more love from Goku and/or Hakkai!" The class=GramE>amount, isn't what it's about. It's the way they love, perfect for each other. I love this, and I think you should continue it. I had been waiting for so long for the update, and it was wwortworth the wait.
Ever a fan-
~Dreams Coast. Here we go, the morning after and what I hope would be how Sanzo really would react! Sanzo does need the loving, poor thing, especially after being written by me. |

The length was -worth- it ... that was intense!
Hakkai having a drink with Kanzeon Bosatsu...*giggle* was wonderfully absurd.
And the last four paragraphs were absolutely incredible, just utterly worth it all. I loved the whole thing. More drunk Hakkai and awesome Goku please! I hope I fulfill your expectations! |

Sorry about the length? Pfft, I love it! I don't enjoy it when authors make thier chapters only a few pages long. This was great. I'm glad Gojyo decided to, class=SpellE>erm, listen to what Kanzeon said. (I love class=SpellE>GojyoxSanzo ^_^) Gojyo is the only one who could ever successfully nail Sanzo, in my humble opinion. I think this new chapter might be a little too short, but we must pace ourselves. :D |

You know everytime I have tried to submit a review to you, something squirrelly happens on this page...I have been trying to tell you how wonderful this series is...how well you have kept within characterization...and how tantalizing the flashbacks have been giving us glimpses into what happened...It has been tremendous...I found myself checking almost daily for Chapter 7 (I found your series when you had already completed through Chapter 6, thank god or I would be bald at this point...) Thank you for a wonderful story! There are just so many wonderful scenes you have given us...and I love a long well-written story...so length is not a problem...>g< I will probably go back and reread the entire story to date again..I have already read it at least 3 times...great stuff! Wonderful! Angsty! and class=SpellE>lordy those two can be stubborn! Update soon, please! I will be eagerly awaiting the next chapter! ^_^ Thank you for going through the trouble of reviewing me!! (very appreciative) I can’t believe you reread it that much, I can barely do that without starting to correct things. But, I can’t go through and redo everything, because we need to write more, more, more! Thank you for reviewing me and inspiring me to write! |

Awesome!! Congratulations!
You keep going with interesting stuff with the plot. Very elegant your way of "showing" what happened in that creepy mansion(I'm talking about that terrible picture) I liked it, cause it was graphic but not grotescque if you know what I mean. ^^
Please keep going and... I'm hoping here for not waiting to long. (feelings bad about how grotesque it got in chapter 7) hope the italics took off some of the brunt, but either way thank you for reading so far AND thinking I’m an elegant writer. |

My GOD your an amazing writer. I haven't been so captivated from a piece of work like this since I read "the Old man and the Sea", and "The Red Cross". I'm very impressed with the fic on a whole, and the way you handle each class=SpellE>obstical that every author faces with such grace and ease. You wrote each character perfectly, especially the interaction between Sanzo and Gojyo. And the way the God/goddess of Mercy berated Hakkai and Gojyo, made me feel ashamed and guilty just by the way you wrote it. I can't wait to read the next chapter, and I hope you update this one just as quickly as you promise. You're an amazing author, and I can't tell you how pleased I am that I've found this fic to come back to. Thank you, for giving us all something to read that provokes thought, intrigues us, and makes us think to believe. I await your next chapter eagerly, dream in peace, trust love, believe.
PS- I'm rooting for GojyoXSanzo... Huggles you. I’m so glad to have such an avid fan that takes the time to review. I just wanted to write a story that correctly portrayed Saiyuki, since that seems to be severely lacking in fic land. I’m so happy you like it so much and will keep writing for you! |

I love this fic! *huggles it and anime gher* Your characters seem so in class=SpellE>chara even when you put them iis sis situation, and you weave the story so well - slowly bringing what happened in the past into the present dialogue/actions. I think you have to be pretty talented to do that - to be able to not give things away sooner than you want and also not leave the reader feeling like they're missing something or the story isn't exciting and too mysterious. The chara's emotions seem very realistic as well. The anger/resentment/denial/guilt/etc. everyone feels. They aren't centered around one emotion and stick to just *that*, they feel lots of things.
I also love your story titles! "Start talkin' trash and I'll come with my Smith and Wesson" heh class=GramE>..I don't know why but I really like that, as well as your other ones. They seem to fit the story and don't sound stupid or cornball...like with 'I Hate Him', I liked those titles too. ^_^ And, on another note, I like Never No Answer more than I Hate Him, it just feels like you've polished up your writing skills a bit on I Hate Him, and then wrote this one. Not that I don't like I Hate Him, I do, just that I liked this one more and you're getting better at writing I think. But I guess that's normal, huh? Get better with practice... I think you’re totally right! I’m even more confident about this new chapter, its true that the more you write, the better you get. Practice, practice. I also am doing a sequel to ‘I Hate Him’(or should that be underlined?) now, so… damn those plot bunnies. |

it's quite an interesting story although it is class=SpellE>slighty too depressing for my tastes. I really like the fact that there might be at least a little gojyo n class=SpellE>sanzo in the future, i think they make an interesting couple judging by the way they never get along. It gets wacky silly? Gojyo and Sanzo will never get along? I hope to ease up a bit of depression now with Sanzo getting to be class=SpellE>kickass again so please don’t start hating it! |

I am glad to see you updated this story; I have been checking back to read the update as soon as it was posted. If Sanzo's blood was used in the painting, why was he still alive, and what did burning the painting do? I can't wait to see where you take this story. I was so caught up in what was happening I didn't notice any spelling or grammer errors, so I can't help you there. Great story. Sanzo is our tough cookie. He ALWAYS survives(though that’s no excuse. Let’s just say that’s why this is a fanfic and not professional). Here’s the wacky turn of events, just for you! |

Your story is amazing, very impresive, and attention to detail is very good too. You are one of the few people that don't feel there's any rush when writing, and takes' their time explaining everything they want to explain before moving on. You don't rush class=GramE>it, you don't say "How can I make this shorter and better?" You're writing is unique via that it is long, but not at all boring, or hard on the eyes. Many long but very good story's are ruined merely by how they're set up, i.e. not enough paragraph indents, and very very little dialoug. I can't wait to see what happens, the story has caught my attention and I'm keeping a close cat eye on this one. I would also like to just note that your updates are very very sn> slow. But if this is the work you produce, I can't wait to see what happens next. And yet I am always thinking how can I make this shorter and better…though for some reason it only gets longer… (cough) for as long of chapters as I write, you always write equally long reviews, so thank you as well! My updates are pretty scattered since I work on different fics at different times, depending on the mood. I’m feeling Saiyuki right now though. style='mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:Wingdings'>J |

m two little things:
1. I dont't think Sanzo is so bastard, class=SpellE>maiby he s going to "change" after this? X3
2. Man, your uppdates are too SLOW... Eh he…(read above about slow updates) Sanzo will get much more… human! Thank you for providing constructive criticism though. |

I love its fic so much! Words can't describe! I noticed something in chapter 2 though, when Gojyo was giving CPR. Hakkai said that you probably broke one of his ribs. I'm taking my CPR course right now, and a person in our class has performed CPR on a person for a real life experience. She had said that you have to break the ribs to get proper class=SpellE>acess to pumping the heart. Without breaking the bone and cardiledge, you'd by trying to pump the class=SpellE>actuall ribs. Ribs are there to hold the lungs and protect the heart, so Gojyo did do the right thing. >< just the student in me, sorry. I love this fic loads though, I think it's the best Saiyuki fic I've read so far. keep it up! Oh…so…maybe I was sneaking in realism? (weak cough) Thank you though, I do look up that sort of crazy thing because well, I’ve never seen CPR preformed before so I’m pretty sure it’s not written exactly right. Thank you for reviewing! |

as much as i really like the plot of this fic, you've got the characters all wrong. I understand that Sanzo doesn't really like his life but he does care about the group. they are more like brothers as they travel, especially Hakkai who is more likely to hurt himself before he ever hurt Sanzo or the others. They save him from selfself and care about him a lot. Sanzo is the center of the group- like an adopted father to Goku who he cares for like his master cared for him, and brother to Gojyo who he bickers with, and he makes sure that Hakkai doesn't fall into depression and when he does they take care of him. I class=SpellE>havent seen all of the eps yet but thats what class=SpellE>ive gotten out of it so far. I understand that class=GramE>its just a fic but Hakkai and Sanzo are so out of character that I couldn't leave it alone. I really do like the plot of your fic though so im gonna read it anyway since class=SpellE>im kinda used to class=SpellE>fics being ooc. You do write really well though. Ouch…my ass.

The fict is great! It's long but not boring, and very well written. But I found some errors in it... First the author says the youkai who took Sanzo has a pair of new shoes, but then it leaves footprint with bare clawed feet; then at first Gojyo and Hakkai in the mansion can't get Sanzo's robes because they are nowhere to be found, then Gojyo in his and Sanzo's room get a packet of cigarettes from Sanzo's robes (?) and then back again at the mansion Gojyo and Hakkai find Sanzo's robes but they are in shreds and so they leave them there; Moreover, if Sanzo left his gun back at the bank where he was fighting before he ended up in the river, how could Gojyo find it in the mansion with the grip stained with blood? Finally, Gojyo is not the strongest of the team, Goku is! Goku is much stronger than anyone else! However the fict is more than worth to be read, hope it will be uploaded soon Thank you for pointing out the errors, that was very helpful and I corrected immediately! And –well- Goku soooo gets his kick-ass moments, and more ahead for our favorite monkey boy! |

The story is really excellent. I have been reading quite a number of stories by different authors, and I find your style truly unique. It has a very emotional side to it, yet it does not burden the readers with any emotions that become too personal and drive the story off point. The suspense in the story keeps building, never stops, thus providing an amazing on-the-edge-of-the-seat experience for the reader.
You're truly an excellent author. I hope you will continue your fabulous work. Such work is truly hard to find, when one searches hopelessly for a good story or two to read in an endless sea of one-time short stories.
I'm looking forward to reading the continuation of this story, as well as any more stories that you might be writing in the future. Ooooo! Thank you! ( class=SpellE>huggles) You’re going to love this then, because I’m going to continue this to the excessive point!! Sanzo’s just too fun and you gave me too nice of review to quit! |

This story is absolutely stunning.
Amittedly Hakkai, to me, is the hardest character to write, but I think you did a fine job. You nailed the other characters right on; I was amazed. x_x and the DETAIL, class=SpellE>yo, the DETAIL! I just ... I love it. It took me a while to read, but it was worth using 50-60 pages to print it out.
The horror of what happened to Sanzo was protrayed really well. I'm wondering, though, how he'll take it when, if, he remembers. x_x
*poke poke* I LOVED CHAPTER THREE! ^_^ It was so... so Gojyo. ^_^ How you wrote his view on Sanzo- it was just PERFECT.
I'm wondering about that cursed forest. x_X going to learn more about it? And who was that youkhat hat fled from the room they found Sanzo in in the mansion?
Need more. X_X NEED. Am seriously considering adding this to my favorites list. ^_^ And since I only have, like, eight stories on there and I've been on FF.Net for two and a half years, that is a very good thing. ^_^
Can't wait for more!
-RA, out Lol, Hakkai was the character I was most frightened to write, because he’s just so cool. I didn’t want to ruin him! I can’t believe you printed this out either, that’s the biggest compliment ever! Thank you for reviewing and…and…here’s to more Gojyo viewing Sanzo! (oh that sounds dirty) |

No, you didn't butcher Hakkai at all, I thought you got his character right. However, I am really unhappy that this fic is so good, it kept me up half the night reading it in one go!
Please update soon, I want to know if Sanzo remembers and what happens when he does.
^-^ Aw, I’m making someone lose sleep. That shouldn’t make me so happy, but it does. Thank you for reviewing, so here’s an update! |

This is going pretty well! I think it's going to be HUGE by the time we start to see the end, tho. Maybe too long. Perhaps you should move the plot along a bit faster now that all the plot points are in place. Just a suggestion. I like it overall. No end in sight, but now at chapter 8 things are finally moving! Thank you though, I did want to speed up and you told me so! |

I thought you wrote hakkai well. Any way this story is good but also sad poor sanzo! Anyway its one of the best stories on here. Please continue to update! Yay, thank you for the ‘best’! Here’s some more Sanzo for you, with eventually his revenge! style='mso-spacerun:yes'> |

Yeah, another chapter. I found this story after two chapters were written and really enjoyed it; I'm glad you're updating it and hope you can update again soon. It must take you a while to write; the chapters are so long.
I especially enjoy how each chapter is set mainly in the point of view of one of the group. I think you have captured their characteristics and inner voices very well. I think you did a good job with Hakkai, and you shouldn't be afraid to write from his point of view again. The way Hakkai was acting, I could almost see this being SxH as well :) Nod, nod. Thank you for recognizing that I writng ng chapters, thusly…it takes time to update. But, that’s still not a very good excuse. Thank you for noticing my POV play as well, it’s so nice to have an active reader. Lol, and I see you sensed my underlying Hakkai and Sanzo as well (shhh, that’s our lil secret) |

Wow! This fic is friggin' awesome. The plot moves beautifully while the characterization is accurate and precise! Also, it helps a lot that the pairing is Sanzo/ class=SpellE>Gyojo. /p>

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed "I Hate Him" and I'm enjoying this just as much. As soon as you finished the Weiss fic, I checked Saiyuki for updates everyday. Great story and you did a fine job with Gojyo. I seriously doubt you'll have a problem with Hakkai. Keep up the good work! Yay, it’s so nice to have a fan go through all my fics. Thank you for cheering me on for Hakkai, and here is an update after such a long break. |

Wow you finally ted!ted! I think your representing them fine as for Hakkai he can be nice but remmber he does have a dark side I sure it still present. I think this is a sad but good Sanzo centered fic. so keep writing I want to know what happens. Hakkai will have his day, oh yes he shall. Thank you! |

I adored Gojyo's descriptions of Sanzo. 53 class=GramE>is far too uncommon. If Gojyo were bi then this is the way he'd think about Sanzo. I admit to being very interested in seeing your take on Hakkai - I think he's the hardest of the Ikkou to write... Thank you, I’m so happy you think I’m doing a good job with Gojyo(he IS supposed to be the other main character but I’m not so sure this comes out.). and Hakkai IS hard, but thank you for supporting me. |

Great story, and excellent dissection of Gojyo's thought processes. Unfortunately, I think you're dragging it a bit too long -- you're starting to get repetitive. You might like to up the pace a little.
Otherwise, still holding on and waiting for the next chappy ^_^. I do feel repetitive , but I wanted everyone’s take on it ^^; after seven chapters, things finally get moving! |

O_o what happened to Sanzo?! (I'm not stupid, I know what probably happened to him, but I just want you to write it! ^.^ )
are you gonna write one chapter for each character point of view? that'll be great, 'cause you're good at getting into their minds.
I can't wait to read more! ^_^ Lol, thank you and here’s some more Sanzo for you. |

Your story is amazing. I have never read a Saiyuki story that has such an honest, wonderful, interesting and TRUE portrayal of all the characters. I find Goku to be the best-- how you write him doesn't ADD any new characteristics, it just builds on the ones he shows in the show and manga. I love your grasp on all of them. I love how you can make each character seem like REAL people. You don't exaggerate faults or strengths.
I love the pacing of this as well-- it wouldn't work unless you made each chapter as long as you do, and it's just a joy to read. You're handling the pain that this situation would bring very well, too. A lot of people seem to forget that these people are (not in a literal sense [and oddly enough, especially Sanzo]) human. The TORTURE they make them go through, just because they think they won't show emotion any other way makes me queasy. ^^; But you're doing this SO well. I'm loving the Gojyo and Sanzo interaction. ^.-
There is ONE little, teeny itsy bisty part I thought sounded a little odd: "They had yelled at him before for eating with his mouth full before. Sanzo had shot at Goku once for talking to him with food in his mouth before." The "before's" make it sound a tad repetitive.
I can't wait for the next part: it feels like the actual series, and it's like a dream come true to see one of my favorite couples actually going through getting together. I'm so glad I found this fanfic so fast! It gave me hope for this fandom. ^_^ Oh, thank you for such the long review and pointing that part out as well. I went back and corrected it, thank you! I’m so glad you find my portrayals to be correct, that’s all I want to here. Gojyo and Sanzo forever! |

Ah... it took me forever to find a Saiyuki fic in here worth reading. But this one was very much worth the search.
Everyone is written very much in character, so that's a plus. I know Hakuryuu can be a pain in the ass to type, but at the same time its class=SpellE>sorta distracting to read 'jeep' all the time. It makes class=SpellE>sence from Sanzo's point of view (He dosn't seam like the kind of guy who would go out of his way to remember the name of Hakkai's pet), but from everyone elses point of view it seams rather odd.
Might I suggested just typing it in once and using cut and paste for the rest of the times that it's nessesary to use the name?
Other then that, great job. I look forward to reading another chapter of this. You’re totally right about the Hakuryuu thing, and thank you for reviewing and mentioning that. Here’s another chapter for you. |

Ah, Saiyuki.. Such a fun series, and with a dirth of good fanfic. Glad to see that you're working to fill the void. ^_-
Having read chapters 1 and 2, it will be hard to wait for the rest! I especially like how you characterize so well not only Sanzo, but Goku as well, and I can't wait to see Hakkai and Gojyo's chapters (assuming that you will continue the story as you have for the first too) - as well as learn more about what happened that night. I've got my suspiscions, but it will be better read than imagined.
All in all, this is shaping up to be a wonderful fic. Can't wait for more! ^_^ Lol, I try(why AREN’T there more good Saiyuki fics?). Thank you for the review and here’s more for you! |

O.O.now THIS is a class=SpellE>fanfic. A lot of crap has been going through the Saiyuki section lately, but fanfics like this one are my only reasons for coming back.
It has perfect characterization, which in Saiyuki fanfiction, is incredibly important and easily forgotten. This plot is spellbinding and your chapters fly by, despite their length. (THANK YOU, btw, for making them so long. ^^;)
I've only got theiestiest grips where there is a sentance I would word differently, but those are wiped from my mind as soon as I keep reading. =P
Also, there are many authors here who fail to realise that through the humor, Saiyuki has a serious plot. All of those script- class=SpellE>stle humor fics get boring really fast, so I thank you for writing an angst/drama fanfic. I enjoy many fanfics, but this one I *love*-- I *live* for writing like this.y'know? Oh, thank you so very much, I live for thought-out reviews like yours. I’m so honored that you pick this fic out of everything in Saiyuki fandom! Thank you! |

Ooh wow, you really started a Saiyuki fic! This is so exciting ^_^. Awesome in fact! And an awesome start, too. Seems you really would be a natural for Goyjo and Sanzo ;). I'm looking forward to seeing what had happened to Sanzo that's gotten the group so shook up. And I thought Sanzo's capture, with the river, cold and snow, was done really nicely.
Don't even know which fic to anticipate for more!! Lol, thank you for reviewing the first chapter as well as all my other fics! Gojyo and Sanzo did flow very naturally, so here’s to more of them! |

Oh dear.... *scrolls down a little* there's no more? But there has to be more!!! *Begs and shakes author* there must be, there absolutely must be!!
I admit I was happy to find something by you in the Saiyuki section - having read your work in the Weiß Kreuz section...
Ann, tn, that was long. If that's a subtle hint of any sorts, maybe this could be long too?
Ah, well. Great writing, as per the usual. Keep it up.
Please. Thank you for always reviewing Weiss and this as well! I wish it could have stayed on fanfiction.net but…well…it’s here now. Thank you! |

More I read... more I like.... You are a very good writer!
In the story there is a very good description of the characters, not stereotyped but real persons with their feelings: one of the best Sanzo I ever read (as sf's one... ^_^); a very good class=SpellE>Hakkay, not only smiles ; maybe a little too much tension between Sanzo and Gojyo.
I'm waiting for the next chapters, I think they'll be very interesting...
Please update as soon as you can!! Oh, there’s never such a thing as too much tension!! Thank you for reviewing, and hopefully this stays interesting for you. |

You are the number one writer of the bitchy class=SpellE>uke. I am so glad you found Sanzo to play with - he certainly gives Aya a run for his money.

i've no taste for class=SpellE>shonen ai, but something about this made me want to click the link and read.
and you're damn good. Sanzo at his very best, testy and bitter and angry. Every single Saiyuki fanfic fight scene class=SpellE>i've run into so far has been an absolute bore, but this one had me at the edge of my seat.
i'm glad i didn't notice the huge word count on this fic initially, because even though they nlly
lly put me off, lazy as i am, i didn't even /notice/ it was longer than most, and i'd gladly read your writing for many, many chapters. You got took us into Sanzo's head and didn't let loose for even a second. It was intense. It was beautiful.
You've just got some careless typos and other errors, and this annoying quirk of using "anyways", which i believe to be slang, when it should be "anyway".
This piece of work kicks ass. Just one more thing: why does such a good writer have such a stupid penname? Dude…don’t josh the nickname or I get my Mexican counter-parts that gave it to me cut you up. That was almost too harsh. But thank you for the review, I’m glad you enjoyed my Sanzo. And I love fight scenes, so I’m uber happy you thought it was good. |
