Nature nurture by devikun Hakkai/Gojyo - a very good take on youkai Hakkai.

Most youkai Hakkai stories I've read, in fact maybe all, have him not doing anything very much when his limiters come off, by which I mean not turning into an unhinged killing machine, and I can fully see the reasoning for this. The two times he does take them off, he *does* become very violent, but only for the purposes of protection and rescue, leaving the people he loves unharmed. I just wonder how much Hakkai knows about his youkai self. Either he really is a danger to everyone with his limiters off, or he just thinks he is, which is very sad. He's scared he might hurt his friends, but he never does, or at least hasn't yet. I did originally mean to make some sort of point at the end of this but I've forgotten it. I should probably get some coffee down me.

Sanzo/Gojyo comic strip - by uberdomkumagoro. Not worksafe, but very very funny. You have the comm friended to see it.

Oh, yes, I love that story. I think I've worn the words away by reading it too much ;) It's one of my absolute favourite youkai Hakkai stories.
