Duzzie chapter 7 . 2/3/2007
They were all wonderfully written. You did a beautiful and very realistic way of describing each one, and matched the sins very, very well. I don't think I would have ever thought of a few of them.

*waves hi to zan and Madhumu* I love you both!

Anyway, what a perfect way to end this. I am in utter agreement with zan here. Kami-sama fascinated me in so many ways, given that he was created as another bend in the road for the Sanzo party, even if that wasn't Nii's original intention. He was so childlike, and yet, not. He was envious, as anyone could see in the way he asked Sanzo, "You have so many things. Won't you give them to me?" Brilliant.

He does seem to mirror Nii in his own envy, that he knows there is nothing that he has for himself, but rather the castoffs of another. This drabble was very direct and to the point, but that didn't take away from the feel. I actually think that it fit it better, much like the other ones that you chose to be less poetic about. Another swift punch to the gut, for sure.

Again, what a perfect way to end this wonderful series of drabbles. You really outdid yourself, m'dear.

You'd better keep writing! If you don't, zan and I will come after you.

zan chapter 8 . 1/8/2007
Hiya! to EoS *waves*

Yeah I'm afraid I have a soft spot for Gojyo, even though Hakkai is my first love and will always be. The reivew was not entirely objective in that there are ways that I can see myself in him and the particular analyses hit close to the bone.

But umm..yes apologies to Madhu, on to the review...

This one is damn good, similar to the Gyokumen one, insightful, and wonderfully sharp. True to what he became. That you have put him second gen. Envy as well fits in that it was partly (ok a lot Nii's fault) he turned out that way. Very kewl!

Oh and if you run off and do more...who are we to complain right EoS? _~ *waves bye bye!*

I had totally meant to say Gojyo, by the way. V_V I wasn't thinking clearly.

Anyway, on to the review!

I have to disagree with zan here, since I think the last one was my favorite, but this one is definitely in a close second. Gojyo is very much a glutton for love and touch, giving that he was starved for it for so long. You made the parallel here brilliantly, and it definitely got me thinking. While I chose lust for Gojyo, gluttony fits just as easily. You did a fantastic job with this one, still keeping the same whimsical feel of the last one. It flows so wonderfully, and it was like a punch to the gut in its blatant truth.

I am also standing in line to see what you have cookin' for Kami-sama. If it's anything like these other ones, it'll be just as amazing. *thumbs up* Teh awesomeness!

zan chapter 7 . 1/6/2007
Gojyo is gorgeousness epitomised here in all his pain and bitterness and this is beauty at his best...and dare I say it this one is the best of all!

I loved them all and will look forward to the Kami-sama ones...so does that mean you will do a Gaiden one..to include Shien, Homura, Zenon...and please do me a Goujun one cos' I will be most fascinated indeed with your take on him and ... and... *runs away once more*
zan chapter 6 . 1/5/2007
Nothing for this except to agree with everything EoS says.

This one is up there with the one of Nii. Almost like different side of a Tenpou coin really. Have you ever read "Antimatter" by 'Nightfall Rising' its short and brilliant.
Eyes of Shinigami chapter 6 . 1/5/2007
Brilliant! Simply brilliant! I give you a definite ten on this one. This one reverted back to your poetic style, rather than the raw emotion of the last couple. This one felt almost whimsical, without losing any of it's 'oomph'. If you get what I mean. _

This one struck me, and you characterized Hakkai brilliantly. He's easily interchangable with wrath and pride, a definite other side of the same coin. I think you captured that pride that he holds so tightly to very well. The description in this blew me away. I have to say that I was most impressed with this one, to be utterly and completely honest.

Can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve for Goku. Should be very, very interesting. *winks*

O.O Lady Gyokumen for lust eh? Nice one! I'd have never guessed... but it's really quite obvious how lust would fit her, ne? Excellente! And I'm glad you took Kami-sama to heart. Makes me feel all warm inside. he.

Continue soon please!

Pride... hm... I want to say Kougaiji... but I', sorta thinkin' that's too obvious to be it,no? Maybe Gojyo? Originally, I'd have thought of Nii when it came to pride, but considering he's been used already...

Gluttony... Lirin? oh. Hazel. Hazel Hazel Hazel. Mean bastard Hazel. TEME! Sorry, I just watched disc 5 of Gulock and am on a major Hazel Hating kick. That bastard is a power glutton and a Sanzo glutton. TEME!

Then again, maybe Kougaiji's the glutton. Oh I don't know! Wah! Next chapter PLEASE!

zan again chapter 5 . 1/4/2007
"Fool" - excellent, excellent... this is zan running out of superlatives for your character analyses.
zan too lazy chapter 4 . 1/4/2007
You. COmpletely. NAILED! him with this...Totally and utterly this is him to the bone. thank you thank you thank you! *so much love*
Eyes of Shinigami chapter 5 . 1/3/2007
Woah...you're right. Totally didn't expect that at all, but it was fitting. She is the very definition of Lust, given that it is the driving force behind her actions. I think that you really managed to capture that here. A very poignant look at Gyokmen Koshu's inner workings.

Apparently ffdotnet is on the fritz, since I received no indication that this had been updated. ;_; *cries* Anyway, that aside, this was a truly great drabble. All of them really manage to make me think, and this one was no exception.

Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

Eyes of Shinigami chapter 4 . 1/2/2007
See! I was right...that you were going to surprise me! Oh well, it was a very nice surprise.

Boy, these are really making me see the different facets that I missed before. Envy suits Nii, because he does seem to have quite a bit to envy of others. You really brought out something that I had never thought of before, but it made sense. I had a 'OH' moment. *beams* 'Twas beautiful.

I loved the bit about being second-best and less favored. It made sense in my mind, since he could never really compete with Koryuu when it came to Koumyou, even if he never came out and said it. Truly brilliant.

Another great job, and I can't wait to see what else you've got planned. These are truly excellent drabbles. *thumbs up*

missingkitsune chapter 4 . 1/1/2007
i'd have to guess hakkai for the next. could be wrong. so far you've hit them all to the point. some traits that are easily forgotten can lead to the wrong ideas. probably like mine. keep 'em coming. .x
Eyes of Shinigami chapter 3 . 12/29/2006
O_O Holy wow, I really loved this.

Again, right on the money. 'Scars he cannot remember create a rage he cannot forget' is THE most awesomely fitting line ever. That hit a 9.5 on the Richter scale of awesomeness. Very, very well done.

This struck me as less poetic than the others, but it fit the tone much better to be hammer to the head instead. It was all at once and felt like a complete rush of emotion. That right there really made this drabble work. I really enjoyed the little bit of contrast you allowed, to demonstrate the childish side who knows nothing of hatred and revenge, to the side that nearly drowns in it. It works!

And my guess would be either Gojyo or Hakkai. But, knowing you, it may come out of left field and surprise me!

These are awesome, and just keep getting better. I can't wait for the next one!
