This fic should have wayyy more reviews..it was AWESOME! Great Job!

Loved it. It's nice to find a good adventure fic that is 1. actually finished, 2. non shonen ai and 3. involves Kougaiji joining up with them. The torture of my beloved Sanzo is merely a bonus (I have a very strange morbid streak and enjoy torturing my favourites). Thanks for sharing!

P.S. The aura idea was nicely original too.

I know this is a late review...but I just had to write it...I love this fic...and enjoyed reading it...thank you very much and I look forward to reading more of your great work..keep up the good work.

*roots from sidelines* GO HAKKAI! *runs away from Sanzo glare...don't you just love it when people leave ya lots of reviews? I do...

Another good chapter...*reads on*

This gets more interesting by the chapter. The only thing I don't like (personal opinion of course) is Sanzo using the F word...I've never heard him say that but you're the writer *salutes*goes on reading*

*stares at screen* this is good. reading this fanfic is almost as good as actually watching it *whimpers* poor Sanzo *whispers* sama _6

Great story. The torture that Sanzo went through twisted my stomach into knots but I managed to finish the whole 8 chapters regardless. Everyone was in character (even Hakkai hitting Gojyo and Goku in the end for Sanzo's benefit) and I found myself enjoying it fully.

Another great story! You are quite possibly the best author on , along with Imbrium Iridum, Xandra, hikari and...I believe those are my top faves _ So sf is my new favorite author! Love, love, LOVE everything I've read by you so far!

Nice story!

But it was wrong ratered...

lalalala kakakawawawaiiii

Ah, this was a wonderful story. I liked the afterword almost as much as I did the story, actually. It's nice to see that I'm not the only detail obsessed fan out here who wants to make sure the characters' dominant hands and/or other preferences are given proper honor. I also noted that you posted this way back on Christmas Day, 2001. Sadly, I hadn't even discovered the glories of Saiyuki at that point, but I am dreadfully glad that you had. Please write more as your muses dictate. Thank you for your time and affection for Minekura-sensei's wondrous creations. E

These are your words, not mine: Hakkai spoke after a pause. "You can’t choose your friends, you know. They choose you. Friendship is something that happens, whether you want it to or not. The best you can do, is not brush it away.
These realities are so true. So powerful and terribly, painfully true. Excellent commentary on the meaning of the relationships in Saiyuki, sf. Truly masterful.

Is this really over? I got to the part where it said, "Red hair, red eyes. A young, boyish face, staring at him in fury." and couldn't for the life of me guess who this was. I've carefully not skipped ahead to find out, but in all honesty, I truly don't know who their enemy was yet. Still, all that aside, I loved this chapter.

Damn. I mean it. Damn. This is SO good. Why isn't it in a Hall of Fame or something?
