Touch--Challenge #13 "touch"--PG

[eyesofshinigami]

Title: Touch
Author: eyesofshinigami
Pairing/Character(s): Sanzo-ikkou
Warnings: Some angst. That's about it.
Notes: The time for the challenge was ten minutes, but each of these took about ten minutes to write. Does that count? *laughs* Each one of these can stand alone, so they're more like drabbles than a complete story. ♥♥

*grins* That sort of wrote itself, so I can't take too much credit for it. *laughs*

Thank you! I was really proud of the way these came out. Sanzo's struck me first, but the rest of them just went with the flow after I started writing them.

Thanks, Kis! ♥♥♥♥

Amazing deconstruction of their characters!

The mere thought of it made his skin crawl and left a bad taste in his mouth.

He couldn't remember them in his mind, but the memories of it were etched into his skin.

He'd spent his whole life searching for it, reaching for it when it was dangled above his head with no success.

He'd had it, and then he squandered it in a sea of red that still stained his hands...That's why he healed the way he did...

Such gorgeous description! Each of their paragraphs has something remarkable in them, and it really made me appreciate the facets of their characters more. Memories!!!

You are too kind, seriously. ♥ I'm glad that you enjoyed these. I was really proud of the way that they came out. *grins*

Thank you so much! ♥♥♥

This is just a fabulous character study. You've got all of them down so perfectly and in so few lines. (poor Hakkai!)

You are awesomeness!!

*blushes* Thank you! ♥♥

I was really happy with the way this came out, and I surprised myself by how much I liked it. I love doing drabble-y things like this, and the prompt just really struck me.

Hakkai's was probably my favorite. ♥ Don't ask me why. XD

Thank you so much! ♥♥ Glad that you enjoyed it!

He'd had it, and then he squandered it in a sea of red that still stained his hands. Who would want to feel his hands on them after all of that?

Creepy... nice psychology. Very nice overall! :)

Thank you! ♥

Hakkai gives me so many problems when I try to write him, but that boy does love his angst, doesn't he? XD This just sort of flowed out, which surprised me.

And I love digging into them, you know? It's just too much fun. ^___^

Anywho, thank you for reading it! ♥ I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Very nicely done! I love the contrasting ways in which each character approaches the idea of "touching." Great use of the prompt!!

[eyesofshinigami]

*blushes* Thank you!

When I read the prompt, I knew what I wanted to do. I had been having a conversation with a friend about how each of them has a different reaction to touch as well, and this is what came out of it.

^___^ Glad you enjoyed it! ♥
