If Minekura-san ever gives the kanji for Kou's people, I'll look that up, too.
All the notes! Disclaimer: What's the purpose of this tradition, really? To keep us humble? I admit it freely: I don't own Saiyuki. Consider my tou koued. To remind us not to sell to each other for money? Hey, all I'm looking for is a nice review. Or, you know, however many you nice people feel like... um. Yeah. Please?
Warnings: spackle or AU fic, as you like. There will be hormones flying everywhere, between persons of all genders, and even I don't know where they're all going to end up, or what the rating will end up being. Er, and this is also the Fic Where Nightfall Tries To Get Over Her Dislike of Foul Language. If it's too much, I apologize.
Fic Notes: This is a little different than anything I've posted for Saiyuki before; it's in my longfic style, which means more banter, less swoony prose, something vaguely resembling a plot--and omake!
Name Notes for the interested
If Minekura-san ever gives the kanji for Kou's people,
I'll look that up, too.
And here are some notes on the ladies' names.
Btw, there seems to be some mixup around 'Genjo.' I know it means original form; I'm not sure where this 'great obscure' comes in.
Shoutai (Sanzo-houshi): natural shape
(Sha) Honshin: true feelings
Cho: boar written another way can mean butterfly.
Kanan: Flower petal. Or calamity.
Sakari: to be at one's best.
(Son) Kaikara: enlightened emptiness.
Suzuyuki: snow crane. Because cranes have a connotation of lengevity, and I don't really believe that even a reincarnation of Tenpou would, if female, name a white dragon 'White Dragon.' On to part one: Hakkai
