This was poignant and sweet. Couldn't stop thinking about this way after I read it. Thank you.

O__O So...I'll admit that the first time I read this story, I skipped the first chapter and some of the second. Reading it completely for the first time now, I realize how much I missed. The first chapter was great, even though references of Gojyo and women annoy me (:P). I loved the way all the women cringed at the mention that Gojyo might be gay. The whole thing was quite hilarious. I can't wait to see them appear in the last chapter again. As for the second and the third, how could I not like them? Fluff, angst, and sex all rolled together. :D Overall, this was very well-written. I don't recall anything making me cringe, but I do remember enjoying quite a multitude of your sentences. ^____^ I read that all your stories are on hold for now due to work, but you'll still finish this one eventually, right?

Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed this story! :D I'll finish this one eventually, yes, but I'm not sure when. So for the moment, I can offer no promises. ^^;

Things to point out when I’m not so relaxed and reread it- 2 errors of the grammatical/spelling variety, 3 sentences that made me grin in pure pleasure of clever word choice and 2 that made me cringe. Overall I found it to be quite simply a good story, and that’s saying much more than it seems. It wasn’t forced, grandiose, or overly angsty, and that’s immensely refreshing. It flowed nicely, pillows were kept track of, positions/characterizaton believable, & the writing well done. Couldn’t sleep well tonight and I must say I’ve been soothed by the style of the work. Thank you for a much appreciated bed time story. I trust my mind will drift off into a quiet dreamless sleep.

Author's Response: I'm a bit dismayed to hear that it made you cringe, in parts, but overall I'm grateful that you still liked it, and that it worked to help you relax. ^_^ Thank you for reading it.

This would be the first Saiyuki fanfiction that I ever read that I liked. Wow! I can't wait for your next and *sob* last installment of the story. The first part where the pov was one of those whorey ladies was wonderful. It gave a lot of insight to the outside looking in. I loved the change of pov in the second and third parts from Hakkai to Gojyo. *sigh* Thanks for the lovely story. Karone Richardson

Author's Response: O.O Now that's a compliment. I'm really glad you liked this one; it's gotten a much better reception than I ever thought it would. ^^

Author's Response: ^_^ Thanks!

... omfg. That was beautiful.
*is incoherent*
wow. just. wow. And I don't mean just the lemon, although that was hot. I mean the before, and the after, and the reasoning and the emotions. All of it. It all adds up into this one beautiful mess and I am sitting here with freaking tears in my eyes because it was wonderful.
*re-melts*

Author's Response: O.O Wow. I got tears out of someone? I don't know if that's a reason to be proud or regretful. ^^; I'm really, honestly glad you liked the story that much. I hope its concluding chapter works just as well for you, when it's written...

Reviewer: Lilith Anonymous Date: 05/11/05 - 04:05PM Title: Restitution

O_O I thought you said you couldn't write a lemon! Goodness. I never imagined Gojyo as a bottom, but you pulled it off so nicely that this was one hell of a sex scene. XD I liked it a lot

Author's Response: Most people don't see Gojyo as a bottom, I've noticed. ^_^;;; I've got to write a fic exploring why I'm twisted enough to come up with that idea. *schemes* Anyhoo, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Reviewer: zan Signed Date: 05/10/05 - 10:23AM Title: Restitution

i had to read it again, and most likely will over&over. I like how you managed to include the gaiden in that little line.beautiful!
the only other thing i have to say..but you know i think this anyway...you write gojyo so well. i think you've captured his essence and what makes him tick really well...and i love it completely.
no mere bowing will do... kneels down and bows head...domo arigatou yoroshiku onegai itashimasu!...much love ^__^

Author's Response: Gojyo is my favorite Saiyuki character, and I think it shows. ^^; I have to work hard to capture the other characters in what I consider to be a satisfactory light, especially Hakkai and Sanzo, but Gojyo comes naturally to me. 's weird. ^^; I'm so happy you like this section, too! *dances spastically* And thank you for reading and reviewing all of my stories!

Reviewer: zan Signed Date: 05/10/05 - 04:58AM Title: Restitution

"lost in something that wasn't quite pleasure or pain or fury or love, but a weird chimera of them all, at once" a wonderful line. i can't really write a proper review just now ...my hands are shaking too much.
this was such beautiful writing...i could really feel it all. and at the end sooo canon of Hakkai as well.
i alternated between holding my breath and a rapidly beating heart ...oh my am i hyperventilating.
i so love this...gotta a find a gift for you...it's in the post!- lol zan

Author's Response: w00t! I earned a present! *dances* I'm glad you liked the story so much. I worked like a mofo on this one--I always invest that much more of myself into a lemon than anything else, because writing them scares the living crap out of me. ^^; I'm thrilled that it was (hopefully) as good for you to read as it was for me to write. ^_^

Reviewer: Dani Ebonsng Anonymous Date: 05/07/05 - 02:51PM Title: Giving Up the Ghost

Lovely! I found your story and read both chapters at once. I love your original female characters, and adore how you really got into Hakkai's head. I can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Hakkai is hellaciously hard to write for; I'm grateful that you found my characterization to be accurate. ^_^ Thanks so much for reading and for liking!

Reviewer: Dayast_Joy Signed Date: 05/04/05 - 08:32PM Title: Giving Up the Ghost

This was a GREAT read. You're really brilliant with true to character conversation! And your description of Gojyo through Hakkai's eyes captures the heart of the character perfectly: honest and open, (but capable of erecting barriers because he gets hurt real deep from loving too much), not smart but quick and more compassionate than a saint. I love how you weave in elements of the anime into your stories so seamlessly, like Hakkai's reverent whisper to Kanan that he would like to live for himself for a while, reminiscent of the chapter when they beat Chan Li Sou (sorry, I'm not sure how to spell that). And your humour is just spot on as usual. I'm a dreadful greedy pig, but please WRITE MORE! Also, I liked the "Jien teaching Gojyo to belch on command" memory. OMG, I can just imagine what the uptight, cultured Kougaiji would look like if Doku did a demo for Lirin to learn. Hahahaha, the images you evoke are just so rich -- like Gojyo sleeping with no inhibitions and Hakkai like a prim corpse next to him! Thanks for sharing your genius, and I'm eagerly awaiting more stories ;D

Author's Response: YOU, my friend, are marvelous for my ego. ^_^ I like to think that of all of the Saiyuki characters, I write Gojyo (or things regarding Gojyo) the best. He's my favorite character, which helps. ^^; I'm glad you caught my references to the anime, as oblique as they were. ^^; I'm terrible like that. Now, though, not only do I want to work on this story's sequel, I want to write a fic where Dokugakuji teaches Lirin how to burp on command. Is that all right with you?

Reviewer: zan Anonymous Date: 04/23/05 - 10:58AM Title: Hunting for Wild Hanyo

ok what's in a name...as written in the manga, hakkai's name is ha as in eight and kai is to mean and admonishment or warning(something he alludes that Gojyo is to him) however hakai does mean also literally "breaking the(Buddhist) commandments" (another dig here as one of those i think is the not taking of life law) and can thus also be taken to mean destruction. however the Ha in that version of hakkai is not the character used in minekura's version of ha (which in this case is literally the no. eight as in hachi) but both are pronounced exactly the same way and so if Yukiko only heard the name and had no idea how it was written...technically she isn't wrong...and at the end of it all we have a lovely play on words and endless possibilities. sorry for that i know i left a review already but i thought i would add my two cents worth on this.

Author's Response: w00t for wordplays and such! ^_^ Thanks for all the great info. Perhaps it would have helped if I knew fuckall about Japanese characters, but since I was also going off the pronunciations... bah. So everybody wins and we get fun puns on words. I think Minekura-sama would laugh her ass off if she knew.

Reviewer: Tavam Signed Date: 04/16/05 - 04:48PM Title: Giving Up the Ghost

... I wrote a review earlier, but something happened here and EftW broke temporarily and ate my review. So I must try again... rrr

Right. Wow. Just wow. The first chapter sucked me in enough to keep me reading (love your OC girls!) and the second was worth waiting for. ^_^
Your Hakkai may be wordy, but they are such wonderful words! So poetic and just right. and I had a quote that I loved, but now I've lost it.
Oh and I do love Gojyo's "Bring it." *smirks* Do please continue!

Author's Response: "Bring it" sounds like something he would say. ^^; Thanks so much for following this story! I loved it a lot when I first wrote it, and got zero response for the longest time, so I wasn't intending to ever write a sequel... but these things happen. ^_^; The OC--at least, Yukiko--will be returning for the conclusion of the story, once I get off my butt and finish the third section. I hope it'll be worth the wait.

Reviewer: Stage Signed Date: 04/11/05 - 06:41PM Title: Giving Up the Ghost

Heh. Being a book nerd is the best. I wrote a monologue called "Suave" that is being preformed in the school's black box production...it's a guy onstage going on about how Russian novel references make girls swoon. XD;; Aahhhh~, I hadn't realized that this was ongoing thing. How happy I am now! :DDD

Author's Response: ^_^ Yep, ongoing story. The next chapter is still knocking around my brain. It's being like Athena. I need to get someone to crack my skull open and get it out. ^^; Thanks for reading and for liking! (And that monologue does sound rather amusing.)

Reviewer: Stage Signed Date: 04/08/05 - 01:58PM Title: Hunting for Wild Hanyo

Ahaha! Your OFC's are wonderful. I particularly enjoyed your reference to them as "rainbow fish." I know that Hakkai was named so for the "cleansing" he went through, but the fact that it means "destruction" in Japanese makes me think that it's also a reminder to what he's done.

Author's Response: ^_^ Thanks for liking it! I honestly had no idea that Hakkai's name could mean "cleansing". That makes, what, three possible puns that revolve around his name?

Reviewer: Jamaica Signed Date: 04/08/05 - 09:57AM Title: Hunting for Wild Hanyo

This is awesome. Very funny in a quite sophisticated way. I'd love to read a sequel, if you write one. Oh by the way, I don't think "Hakkai" means destruction, at least not in Chinese. It means the "8 ways of cleansing" as in the monks give up 8 sins to cleanse themselve so they could reach enlightenment.

Author's Response: "Hakkai" means "destruction" in Japanese. I know a family who used to breed Akitas, and they named one of their puppies Hakkai because destruction was her forte. ^^; I didn't know its Chinese meaning, though. That's fascinating stuff. There is a sequel, actually, which has not been approved by the moddies yet. It is available on my mediaminer.org account, where I go by Princess of Pain, and on my deviantArt.com account, where I'm itainohime. ^_^; I'm really glad you liked it.

Reviewer: zan Signed Date: 04/08/05 - 04:19AM Title: Hunting for Wild Hanyo

hey there i'm glad this one is over here now. i wanted to put in a review over at mediaminer but it was to difficult. and then when i did manage to leave one there was a character counter...but i just wanted to say"Buddha with a Bullet" priceless, and sanzo manages to sneak in there as well. and as i've said before this is a nice story from someoneelses point of view. thanks for sharing...when is chap 3 up hehehehe! sorry apart from having a siyuki addiction... i love 58/85 pairings. there is something just sooo right about them. anyway 'nuff said love zan

Author's Response: I'd like to take credit for "Buddha with a bullet", but the line was actually adapted by my girlfriend. It was originally "Jesus Christ with a bullet", which she said was too Western. I deferred to her better judgement. ^^; Chapter 3, I haven't started working on yet, though this website's gonna get the unedited (x-rated) version of if. Bwaha.
