It seems like the Monks aren't going to give Goku the TLC that Sanzo would have expected them to. After reading your contest entry AND your one shot, I feel a little guilty ;D asking for this BUT.....TEASE PLEASE!! ;D ;D Sorry. I know we're never satisfied.

Tsk. But don't complain afterwards. There you go. The chapter is done to 3/4rd, at a word count of currently 2500 words: Unfortunately, the promised Hakkai-suffering is postphoned until the next chapter (unless you want this to be a 5000+ words chappy...) Then again, I might just do the XXL version. Who knows. I'm sorry for not posting much this week. I have a trainee at work (which is just wonderful when you are completely hoarse), and I'm trying to recover from my cold. I hope to get in a few posts in the next days, though.

AWW, I hope you feel better. Now I really feel guilty asking for more when you don't feel well AND are dealing with a trainee AND have already given us 2 wonderful one shots. I NEVER complain about long chapters, espescially if there is Hakkai suffering. ;D Kougaiji will be entering the picture? Yes!! Feel better and update when you can.

Well... the good news is that the chapter is finished, at roughly 4100 words. The bad thing is that Hakkai-suffering is postphoned to the next chapter. I kind of got carried away a bit. *coughcough* And a last teaser for you... Mmm... I wonder if he will survive that one.

I at once love you for your teasers and hate you for them. *shudder* Can't wait to see it Big chapters are worth it, no worries!

AH, the authoress knows all, and sees all. That is until THEY take over the story and write it their way.
Hmm...Will Goku survive? I make no predictions about your stories. You are able to take the most out of place information and expertly weave it into the story and make it fit.
All I know is I have been promised a Butt Naked Sanzo in the future and I'm holding you to that. ;D

Hehe... well, truth is that THEY actually did take over, that's why the chapter became longer and longer. The final length is now 4400+ words... Oi, nakid Sanzo is going to be fun. ;D Gojyo had an interesting suggestion, and Goku mentioned something about 'permanent markers'... Hakkai said he wanted to film the scene and sell it to the fan girls, so that they won't depend on Sanzo's credit card, budget wise.

You told us Goku and Hakkai's suggestions, but you conveniently forgot to tell us Gojyo's. I'm sure it is the best of the three, though permanent markers all over Sanzo's body will make such a long term reminder of what you will put him through and the video we will all buy will remind us. ;D Oh, if only...

Well, it's supposed to be a secret, but he wanted to tie nakid, defenseless Sanzo to a pole, sell multi-colored sunblocker lotion to the fangirls and have them do an art contest on Sanzo's... skin. Mhm, you know, now that i think about it... There *is* the 'Hakkai keeps a journal' in one of the Reload mangas. How about if there's a tiny little camera installed in Hakkai's eye piece, and he's doing a documentary about their journey? "Hakkai-Cam" - hehe.

I was right, Gojyo's idea is by far the best. ;D ;D Combine that with Goku's permanent marker to outline the color differences of the sunblock (stained glass Sanzo anyone?) and Hakkai's Hakkai-cam and you have one truly perfect fangirl scheme. Then, run for your life with the video tape when you are done, because no matter what condition he is in, Sanzo is never defenseless for long.

Hehehe... I wonder how long his grudge would hold. And think about it... with things like the internet and stuff, how fast his "movie" would spread around the planet. He sure would be famous. You think he would still dare to step into the street? But then he's Sanzo. Nothing can truly rattle him, right?

Ooh! I would download THAT movie! *grins* Then I could use it to taunt my Sanzo mad housemate with *grins as she thinks evil thoughts*

BTW: I love how you write Kougaiji. Sorry I haven't reviewed yet... we had a blackout not long after I read it and I haven't been back to open the fic back up.

Ah, that's okay. I'm rather pleased with getting five 'official' ffnet reviews for the last chapter. I hadn't expected that many, to be honest. Kougaiji... I like his character. I mean, outside of his fixation on his mother, he's a caring, strong character with an honest personality. In a way, he's the mirror image of Sanzo (and I absolutely like it how Sanzo's not getting jealous at all when his group admires Kou's caring style of leadership - I do think it bugs him enough to try and improve himself.).
