Saiyuki people, it's time for a poll:

So, emungere and I have been pondering these important questions about Sanzo and Hakkai.

[Poll #646083]

Do feel free to elaborate with comments.

1. First thing that springs to mind is Spike from Buffy and his comment on being Love's Bitch (I am a dork, shhh).
I can Hakkai being "love's bitch" or just seeing himself in the same light - which is also why I think he'd fight being in love/admitting being in love for as long as he could (see hibem and wildelamassu's coments below).

2. I honestly think Sanzo could fall in love. He knows he's capable of loving (see: father-figure Koumyou), but like Hakkai he'd deny it as long as possible (actually, knowing Sanzo, he probably wouldn't even realize it until it smacked him in the face).


::sigh:: Oh, they're so wonderfully messed up.

Yeah, Hakkai's experience as love's bitch was so bad the first time round that I can't see him letting it happen again in a hurry, and he might even convince himself he can't love anyone, not like he loved Kanan. Although Gojyo might disagree.

I can imagine Sanzo falling in love too- he would even recognise it as such, I think. Whether he thinks he can love someone without bringing disaster down on their heads is another matter. What happened to Koumyou seems to have defined him so intensely I wonder if he could ever separate love from loss.
