I think Hakkai's actually quite vulnerable to what other people think of him. That's why he appreciates Sanzo and Gojyo's acceptance so much.

And in my little world he is most definitely Gojyo's bitch. ^_~

As for Sanzo - I have an unusually healthy vision of Sanzo, I think. Sure he's screwed up and doesn't like the idea of dependence in any shape or form but he does form attachments *despite* that. Whether he'd allow himself to act on it is another question, but sure, he could fall in love. ♥

That's such a good point about Hakkai. I tihnk he does need that acceptance, and that's where his vulnerability lies. Physically and mentally he arguably be could be stronger than any of them, but when it comes to his emotions I wonder if he's in control of them at all. I think he relies on Gojyo to point him in the right direction, emotionally, to stop him from going wrong.

I think Sanzo could fall in love too. There's an interesting battle between Sanzo's hardheadedness and his emotional vulnerability, which we especially see when he is thinking of Koumyou.
