Coming Home, YnM/Saiyuki
Do you have any damn idea how hard this was to get down to 100 words?!?


"I'm sorry," Tsuzuki said to the boy.

"I have to find them! You don't understand!"

Tatsumi's appearance saved them further argument. "There's been a misunderstanding. He was to be retrieved by the Chinese but..."

Three Chinese shinigami stood in a group behind them. "Fucking bureaucrats," the red-haired one said, pulling out a cigarette and ignoring Tatsumi's disapproving glare. "Ready, monkey?"

"Yeah. Where've you been?"

"Misfiled paperwork," the blond said. "Morons."

"Well, we're all together again." The dark-haired shinigami smiled gently. "Kannon says we're going home, whatever that means."

"More work." The blond put his arm around the boy. "Let's go."

Oh, that's neat. Despite the word limit, you got all their voices spot-on.

Thanks. The one paragraph I Would Not Touch was the one with Gojyo and the cigarettes and Tatsumi glaring because it felt so right...

*squees all over this drabble*

Somehow, it's just so fitting that the Sanzo-ikkou would end up as shinigami. XD

Can you just imagine the pissing match Enma and Kannon's people got into over the jurisdiction? And Tatsumi and Sanzo trying to out-attitude each other?

Okay, someone has to write that Nagasaki arc outtake. XD

"You did WHAT to Maria Wong?"

"Bugger off, she was in Japan."

"No, YOU fuck off. She's one of OURS."

Tsuzuki and Goku eating through an entire menu! And Hisoka and Hakkai having a nice conversation about stupid partners over tea.

AMEN. Still, while I have never even heard of the crossover series, you did a fantastic job of illuminating character in just a few short words. Proof that the word limit can definitely work in our favor. *G*

Oh, dude, we can fix that. If you want. Just let me know. Any time.

The boys are very pretty though so you should at least take a peek. Goku's the one with the staff at the top.

And thanks for the praise!

I've been burned by dubs so many times, I'm afraid to risk it. I've read all the scanlated manga thus far, and I'm planning to get another hard drive so I'll have room for dled subs.

I am a modern pirate, baby. *G*

I'm lazy and have plenty of anime to watch anyway right now, so I'll try the dub. Adult Swim's are usually very good nowadays-- I've actually known people who prefer the Wolf's Rain dub to the sub.

I just like hearing the voices in the original, because it doesn't seem like anybody is very careful about choosing the voices when dubs are made (flashes back to the French dub of Star Wars, shudders). I'll have to tune in just once, to see if they got the voices even close to how they are in my head. If so, I may give it a chance. I still want the subs, though, because I'm greedy that way. *G*

Adult Swim dubs are quite good, generally, at least in my experience. Some of the voice actors they use often are really talented. Except for Inuyasha, which is...okay. And, you know, it's free.

And psychotic! And I really like the lack of teenage angst. I love Hisoka, don't get me wrong, but he's the exception. Most of the teenage whiners I'd love to slap.

Sanzo'd shoot them if they started whining. Besides, they're responsible well-adjusted emotionally mature adults, not whiny teenagers. (I'm still getting used to the idea. It makes me disproportionally happy!)

*thinks of Gojyo and Goku getting into a fight and throwing poor Jeep into the river*

Maybe we should just say 'grown up?' But no, I know exactly what you mean, and I couldn't agree more. 'S why I read Trigun, too.
