#gojyo headcanons

[ciaossu-imagines]

I'm back with another Saiyuki ask ✌️

So you know, the Ikkou is really famous, anywhere they go, they get stopped by townspeople who want Sanzo to chant Sutras and such... So, that's kinda Sanzo's fanclub.

Do you think Hakkai, Goku and Gojyo have a fanclub too ? How good would they be at handling it ? Maybe Kogaiji, Dokugaku, Yaone and Lirin have one too, they seem really loved among yokais.

Anyway, I got "inspired" while listening to the Idol drama-cd lol

This one made me laugh quite a bit! I love this idea and had a lot of fun answering this one! Thank you so much for the request and I hope you'll enjoy the headcanons!

Okay, realistically, I don't think Hakkai, Goku and Gojyo have fan-clubs all their very own, though they are recognized and known. I think it's more that they're recognized and known though as companions to Sanzo and fans of theirs are normally already part of Sanzo's fan-club and they're liked by extension.

But just because the idea of it really amuses me, we're going to put that realistically aside and pretend that yes, all three of these dorks have their own fan-clubs and that they're all just as sizeable as Sanzo's.

Now, Gojyo definitely would get a little bit of a swollen ego when he first learns he has a fan-club. He's going to be pissed if it turns out that most of his fans are men...he's really hoping his fan-club consists of mostly beautiful women. He definitely would be the one to take advantage of a beautiful woman being a fan of his already to get laid, if the click and connection was there with that person. Otherwise, he might have a drink with a fan, if they amuse or seem cool to him. He tends to be pretty okay and friendly to his fan-club, but only if they don't come off as being annoying or wanting too much from him.

Hakkai is the most level-headed and realistic about having a fan-club. He knows that his so called fans really don't know anything about him at all, that they're infatuated with an idea of him and not who he actually is. So he never really has moments of ego or lets it get to his head at all. He'll remain polite and civil to any of his so-called fans and he won't go out of his way to be rude to them at all. He's generally pretty okay with being approached, as long as they don't take up too much of his time or cross any of his boundaries but for the most part, he prefers not to interact with his fan-club all that much.

Much like Gojyo, I do see Goku enjoying the idea of having a fan-club and he thinks it's really cool. He sees most of his 'fan-club' as friends and it might go to his head a little at first. For the most part, he's cheerful and nice to everyone who is his fan, though he really hates it when they start to get demanding or if they get too touchy-feely with him and that's when he has no problem letting them know they need to back off. While probably the friendliest of the three, Goku has no problem putting his foot down and making people back the fuck off and he does have a temper. If people annoy him too much, he's just going to walk away and if they try to stop him, he's cool with a fight too, if they look at all strong.

Okay, but honestly, when it comes to Kougaiji...you know how teenage girls hang posters and cut out pictures of their favourite celebrities and such all over their walls? If such things existed in the Saiyuki universe, I think Kou would be plastered all over so many demon girl's walls and probably a fair few demon boy's as well. He's a huge deal to demons and as he's fairly handsome, I think that really helps his popularity among the demon girls in particular. However, he's really not that great about handling the whole 'I have a rabid, insanely passionate fan-club' thing. He appreciates their support, sure, but like...they're more terrifying than some of the enemies he has faced and he can't just kill them like he does his enemies. He largely tries to avoid them as much as he can and it's part of Yaone and Dokugakuji's responsibilities to help him do such.

🌿 A Sinner's Retribution

One could always wash blood off their hands, but no matter what he did, he could never will away the memories of that night.

He recalls the pain vividly, far beyond a physical sense. His transformation was overwhelming, unfathomable, revolting. At one point, Hyakugan Maoh's castle fell silent, void of life not unlike his eyes. Suffering a deep wound on his stomach, it was then when he would have settled by her side... but his hatred at the time ran so deep that he absolutely refused to die looking like a demon.

And so he stumbled out the castle all the way to a facility by the village borders that distributed power limiters, moving out of pure spite and adrenaline.

But it wasn't long before the blood loss became too much on his slow journey back, and he collapsed on a forest path, in the rain, adding salt to the wound of failing her a second time that night.

That was the end— or so he thought.

Fate had decided to spare his life then. Never would he have imagined getting to where he is now.

Things are... better. Getting better at least, as he'd like to believe. He smiles, even with the horrified faces and screams of the villagers and demons he had slaughtered haunting him from time to time, even to this day.

Like a constant reminder. A sinner's retribution.

"So, this is what your dad looks like, Kagami-kun?"

"In his younger years, yeah. He's got shorter hair now."

"He looks very cool."

I have this headcanon where Gojyo is reincarnated into a full human, and he's Kagami's dad.

[recre8ed]

for the sake of clarity on where i stand with shipping, i thought i'd talk about my headcanons for hakkai and relationships!

generally speaking, hakkai is not going to be an easy guy to ship with. he has a lot of baggage concerning his last relationship, and even putting that aside, he has a generally unfavorable view of himself and the way he tends to behave when he's in a relationship; he's described himself in the past as quite obsessive and that isn't entirely false.

he does actively want a domestic life with a partner and children involved, but that's ... it is something he knows is easier dreamed about than gotten. hakkai isn't likely to consider getting in a relationship with someone he doesn't already know intimately, and he's even less likely to consider it if the person who might have been under consideration is in any way 'helpless'.

oh, and the children thing is more or less a dealbreaker. the only exceptions to this rule are sanzo and gojyo, since he's content with the arrangement they share concerning goku's involvement in their lives. but if he were to engage in a relationship with someone outside of that, he'd want children. he wants to be able to raise children properly, since his parents didn't raise him.

i guess to sum it up, hakkai is sort of a hopeless romantic type who actually generally doesn't pursue meaningful connections with most people on purpose.

Did you get a request? It's Gojyo, Hakkai, and Sanzo (separated) Relationship Headcanons with GN s/o. Thanks!

Hello, I did get the request :)

[crossroadsimagine]

when an ex boyfriend or crush tries to get back in the life of their s/o? For Sanzo and Gojyo (Saiyuki)

☰ Sanzo

■ He really doesn’t seem all that concerned at first unless your ex comes on very strong or pushy about getting back into your life, like blatantly flirting with you or trying to talk about getting back together or anything like that especially in front of him. Which then he can become very annoyed and hostile about the situation.

■ But even then, he’s not immediately threatening and doesn’t step in to confront them immediately, he will prefer to talk to you about it because if you want to handle it he’ll let you or if you want his help dealing with the situation he’ll step in, he would just rather see how you want to handle it first.

■ Though he can lose his patience if it’s taking too long to resolve or the guy just isn’t getting the message. He’s most likely to step in and confront the guy after he’s already had a long day and he’s already irritated and the guy tries to approach you or talk to you, which can make him really explode on the guy.

■ He can become very physically hostile and threatening towards the guy just because he’s annoyed and kind of snaps on the guy. And at this point it won’t matter if you want to handle the situation or not, because he’ll be mad and just wants to make it clear that he needs to take the hint and stay very far away from you.

■ However, he can be far more threatening and violent if your ex has been more aggressive or persistent about getting back in your life, like stalking you, touching you inappropriately or being pushy or forceful about getting back with you or into your life after you’ve already said no or told him off.

■ He never once thinks you’ll leave him for your ex or go back to your ex or anything like that, he trusts you completely. But he will not like your ex being in your life even just as a friend, especially if it was a bad relationship just for your sake.

☰ Gojyo

■ Immediately takes notice and won’t want you to have anything to do with your ex and can be very protective of you. So, whether the guy comes onto you strong or in a subtle way or wanting to be just friends with you on to get back together with you he’s quick to step in and tell the guy to back off and leave you alone.

■ However, he will not become very aggressive or threatening towards the person at first, instead he can actually show a more playful attitude about the situation. More like "You had your chance and blew it." and will suggest the guy get over it and more on because you’re with him now.

■ Never even really considers the idea that you would leave him or cheat on him because he trusts you a lot and doesn’t see it happening, unless for any reason you seem to defend your ex for any reason or if you insist that he lets you handle the situation, then he can grow more suspicious, particularly if the situation doesn’t get resolved quickly.

■ If the situation doesn’t get resolved quickly or if he feels like the guy is being inappropriate or more aggressive with you then he can address the situation in a for more physically threatening way because he will not stand for anyone making you uncomfortable or feeling worried or scared.

■ Will likely be very physically violent and threatening with the guy and will make a point to hurt the guy to drive the point home that he needs to leave you alone and stay away from you, that doesn’t mean he’ll mortally wound the guy but he will rough the guy up, especially if the guy just won’t back off.

■ More than anything he’s more focused on making sure you are okay and kept safe and if he gets aggressive with the guy it’s more to send a message because he’s concerned about you and your safety and he’s not afraid to get very violent in order to protect you if the guy is harassing you.

Glad to see you again my darling! :D

Can I please request headcanons for Gojyo, Sanzo, Hakkai, and Kougaiji reacting to their female S/O getting attacked while pregnant and she defends herself like a badass?

A/n: all my favorite boys!! Yesss

Sha Gojyo:

🚬: Is fucking terrified when he finds you missing, nearly loses his shit when he actually catches your scent as he rushes off to find you.

🚬: To many thoughts rushing through his mind, he can’t lose you, he can’t lose his child. Not when he has actually found some happiness.

🚬: Is a little thrown off to find one guy already dead as another gets tossed out the window. While it took some effort you managed to defeat the assholes that took you. { even though it was Gojyo that killed the last asshole. }

🚬: Rushes into where you were being held, immediately checks you over. Places his hand on your belly just wanting to feel a kick. His relived when he actually feels one.

🚬: Is very proud that you defended yourself but scolds you for doing something dangerous. He doesn’t want to lose you and his child.

🚬: You laugh it off then kiss his check, you’ve been traveling with him and the gang for a long time. You can handle some thugs, being pregnant isn’t about to stop you from taking matters into your own hands when some jackass wants to hurt your unborn child.

🚬: Admits that it’s hot and a turn on seeing you toss that jackass out the window. Wish he could have seen you take the other prick out. { not really, please never do that again…still thinks it’s hot that the woman he loves is such a badass. }

🚬: When you get home expect a long night of some passionate sex followed by the man holding you.

🚬: Knows if he has a little girl he hopes she’ll be as much of a badass like you but he knows that he’ll protect you both know matter what.

+

Genjo Sanzo:

📿:It happens while you’re in the temple, he’s gotten used to what these assholes would say about him. But you, oh boy did they make a mistake when they spoke baldy about you and his unborn child.

📿: You usually had a better control of your emotions but since your were pregnant he could not blame you for snapping when one day one of the monks made a remark about your child and how it’s probably not even Sanzo’s child.

📿: Watches as you tear into the monk, screaming at anyone that questions your love for the man and how that this is his son.

📿: Has to hold back a snicker when you shove one of the monks stating you’ve two fucked plenty.

📿: Sanzo will then give a very blunt threat to the monks once you tore yourself out that if they can not accept you or his unborn son then his will not return.

📿: They promise they won’t but once his son is born he doesn’t return.

+

Cho Hakkai:

🍃: You two are out eating when it happens, he slipped away to take care of something only for a man to come to the table to bother you.

🍃: He tries to pull you away from the table know matter how much you struggled. The only thing you knew was that you had to protect yours and Hakkai’s child.

🍃: Remembering what he taught you, you easily slipped out of his grasp breaking his hand in the process.

🍃: Hakkai arrived just arrived to see you holding the man’s arm behind his back, the guy on his knees.

🍃: Chuckles at the soft, it’s quite cute seeing you being able to pin a full grown man on his knees with such a cute smile on your face.

🍃: Knees down in front of the man, he might have a smile on his face but he is not happy that some low life dared to touch his pregnant wife. Has a dangerous glint in his eyes.

🍃: Warns the man not to come back, tells him if he does he will kill him.

🍃: Praises you, is happy that you were able to stay safe but he still would rather stay by your side now.

+

Kougaiji:

👑:Nearly has a panic attack when he finds you missing from the mansion.

👑: Him and Dokugakuji go out to find you. He is furious that someone dared to take his Princess.

👑:Anyone that crosses his path is going to be fucking dead, the man is seeing red. He’s not gonna stop until he finds you and make sure you and his unborn child are okay.

👑: Though when he finally reaches where you are held he’s a bit baffled seeing all the corpse’s outside the hut. Dokugakuji tries to hold him back but the man is running on pure adrenaline.

👑: Though he’s a bit baffled to see you completely unharmed with a large smile on your face. Your arms wrapping around his waist. He of course kisses you back but damn is he confused.

👑: Did his princess, did you do all of this but yourself?

👑: You laugh it off telling him it wasn’t so hard.

‘You’re the one that trained me, remember.’ You teased.

👑: Scolds you at first though it’s more of him worrying about you and his child.

👑: Dokugakuji praises how strong you love become, teases that the little princess or princess will be just as strong.

👑: Kougaiji ignores him as he carries you back, he finally relaxes listing to you happily chat with his friend.

Saiyuki reload zeroin : a very un-serious commentary. (episode 1)

(this is all a joke, do not take it too seriously. I didn't read even a worm so I have no idea of what is happening, I promise I will read it after the serie is finished.)

Of course for once their travel is nice and calm, and they whime they are bored... And then we know they fucked up.

THE WALKING DEAD.

At this point we know for sure Sanzo would survive a zombie apocalypse. The others... I am not so sure.

Molto obbligato ☺️✨

(most obliged)

The pricing pony attack. (the lotr folks knows).

Hazel is the new Jesus Christ.

Sanzo is not amused. *she knows song playing the back ground*

Hakkai is competitive. Even if he denies it we know he is.

Hazel asking Sanzo if he's a priest is me when I meet someone in my same fandom(s).

If stare could kill Hazel would be dead over and over again. Yes Sanzo I am talking about you.

But he is soooo right. Like goddam, Sanzo should be a detective not a priest.

Gojyo: Men have been popping into my sexual fantasies. All of a sudden I'll be in the middle.

Goku: Of what?

Gojyo:

Goku:

Gojyo: And a guy will appear from out of no where. I said, "Get out of here. What do you want? You don't belong here."

Hakkai: What do they do?

Gojyo: They talk back. They go, "Hey, Gojyo, how's it going?"

[xigbarforever]

Headcanon: First Social Grooming for Hakkai

Goyjo flinched at the sight of the other man as he stepped out of the bathroom, towel around his neck and steam bellowing out of the door. Not because of the scar forming on his torso; He had his own share of stories. No, what bothered him was the state of the newly-fledged demon's hair. With it kept short it wouldn't be too bad, but he could already see where it was starting to snarl and tangle. Bad enough in longer hair, that would become downright painful in short hair in no time. 

He sighed as he stretched, placing his magazine to the side as he rolled to his feet like a cat, snatching up his hairbrush, the spine of the thing reinforced with a small flat bar of steel. Demon hair was as soft as a human's, but much stronger. Gonou gave him a curious look as the hanyou waltzed up, brush flipping other nimble fingers, Gojyo motioning for him to sit down at the desk chair. 

He stood up in a rush at the first touch to the back of his head. A Thousand-Slayer Demon, he was not born into the instincts that Gojyo was. Despite how similar Youkai and humans appear, demons are still predators, and thus have stronger instincts than their human cousins. He didn't like anyone standing behind him, though he didn't know why yet. Only to suddenly collapse as Gojyo wrapped his free hand around the back of his neck, gently but firmly steering him back into the chair. A rusty rumble ratcheted up, causing Gonou to relax farther; a bachelor like Gojyo doesn't have many opportunities to purr, so his was audibly out of practice. 

Words were useless at this point as he started attacking the back of his hair, tangles slowly easing out under his ministrations. An equally rough and stuttering purr started to rise, Gonou leaning down to rest his chin on the heels of his fists. Those green eyes were hooded as Gojyo continued, the new demon relaxed to the point that Gojyo released the back of his neck. "Better?" he asked after a second, smirking at the bass rumbles echoing through the cabin. 

Gonou nodded slowly, almost drugged from the social grooming. "How...?" 

 "Yer a demon now. Yer gonna have to be more careful about certain things."

"Well," those green eyes slid back to stare into ruby. "Then I guess, I'll learn from the best."

[ciaossu-imagines]

Saiyuki, Circus/freakshow AU

Of course, anon dear! Thank you so much for the request and I am sorry it took so long to answer! I hope you'll enjoy the headcanons nonetheless and the AU I came up with!

So, in this universe we're setting up here, there is still a fantasy element. Magic does still exist, but it's very much not a normal and everyday thing. Most people can go their entire lives without seeing anything magical. Magical items and creatures tend to be hard to find and hidden away and those people with magic in their veins…they learn to hide it very well as they are often feared or exploited.

There is one place people can go to experience magic at least once, if they have the money to pay to experience it, of course. And the magic people and creatures they see are definitely exploited. Gyumaoh's Magical, Mystical Travelling Circus is something everyone has heard tales and rumours about. If you're lucky enough for them to come to your town, people flock to even catch a single glimpse of the brightly coloured tents, hope to sneak a peek at the 'sideshow's' hidden within. People will sell precious treasures, take loans against their homes, anything to see the show because the Circus represents really the only chance most people will get to experience something truly magical, especially in a safe manner and though people do fear magic, they are also enchanted and curious and full of the desire to witness it for themselves.

The Circus sounds wonderful, at least to the normal citizens of the world. The truth is, for those 'employed' by the Circus, and that word is in quotes as I'm using the term extremely loosely, the reality is very different. A magic hunter from the time he was very young, Gyumaoh built his Circus by stealing magical items and capturing and enslaving any creature or human with magic in them. But wait, you might say. How can a mere mortal enslave someone or something that is clearly magical and probably has defenses and powers they do not?

One, a lot of magical beings, be they creature or animal, are normally either outcast by society because of that attitude of fear and distrust, or they're trying so hard to hide their magic that they've ended up homeless, just barely scraping by if they're not homeless, they've ended up without families and close friends to better keep their secrets, or they've ended up in worse situations, with much more powerful people using them, oftentimes for extremely hard and dangerous labour.

Gyumaoh seems to have an almost uncanny luck for finding those magical things and creatures, and even more luck finding the downtrodden or exploited magical people. He seems nice and charming at first and the Circus is so well-known at some point that these magical people really believe the well-crafted and sold lies Guymaoh or his people give them…that the Circus can give them a clean, soft, comfortable home full of people who will love them, and they can use their magic to entertain people, to show the general populace that magic isn't a bad thing, but a wondrous one. Gyumaoh is good with words and charm, as are his fellow recruiters, his mistress Gyokumen Koushou, and his right-hand man Dr. Ni Jianyi. They're wily, silver-tongued and it's very, very rare they need to use force to get what they want, though all three of them are capable of doing so. Normally the magical people sign the contracts to join the Circus all on their own…and these contracts themselves are magical.

The second these magical beings prick their fingers and put their bleeding fingertip to the paper, as is the way to sign it, they sign over their lives to Gyumaoh, become his to control and command. These people, because of the contract, cannot seem to get further than fifty feet away from the Circus once the contracts are signed and if they do, the contracts are written in such a way that the person would be in unimaginable pain every second if they did venture further than that, making them easy to track down and bring back, if they did not return willingly themselves.

Gyumaoh's Magical, Mystical Circus really does succeed and it makes Gyumaoh himself a very rich man. Gyumaoh travelled alongside the Circus for many years, but because he is only human himself, he does what all people do. He grows older and older. He exploits magic he's found to extend his life and his health, but nothing completely stops the passage of time and he is growing old and sickly. He's currently not able to continue travelling with the Circus and it's rumoured among the Circus folk that he might finally be on his death bed, though they know better than to honestly hope for such a thing.

While he can no longer be there, day to day with the Circus, it is left in the hands of his beloved left-hand woman and aforementioned mistress, Gyokumen Koushou. And if the Circus folk thought Gyumaoh was bad…this woman is brutal, cold, and honestly seems to get off on making the Circus folk miserable. She sees them very much as less than human and she's cunning and crafty enough to do anything to achieve her own goals. And what are her goals, you might ask? For one, she wants to be absolutely filthy, stinking rich. Not only does she want a fortune of her own, but she wants the huge fortune Gyumaoh himself has amassed, and rumours state she might not only be behind Gyumaoh's illness but his wive's recent disappearance. For another, she wants the secrets to magic and to know how to harness those for herself.

Which is where Gyumaoh's trusted right-hand man comes in. Dr. Ni Jianyi seems to have with the Circus for as long as anyone can remember. Though he, in title, serves as the Circus' doctor and is supposed to look after the health and wellness of every single magical person, he's really with the Circus because Gyumaoh and Gyokumen Koushou both allowed him what he really wanted - research subjects. He's allowed to perform countless human experiments on those with magical powers as he seeks to gain all the knowledge about magic, what it truly is, where it comes from and why, and how normal, every day people can use and harness it. And he performs these human experiments with an almost terrifying zeal and level of sadism that makes him, quite honestly, the most feared person among those who are 'employed' by the Circus.

Now to go into the actual members of the Circus. Son Goku has actually been with the Circus the longest. Nobody's quite sure just how long besides those running the Circus. He was, in fact, Gyumaoh's first recruited member, sold to the public under the name of 'The Immortal Boy'. He is magical, yes…he never ages. Not even Goku himself knows where he actually comes from or how long he has been alive and he heals from all wounds. Members of the crowd are selected during Goku's exhibit, where he is chained to the floor, hands and ankles shackled, and those selected get to do any amount of harm, especially things that would kill normal folks, to prove his immortality. For his entire servitude with the Circus, when not on display, Goku was kept contained in a cage he cannot escape from, with only Circus' upper three as companionship. Gyumaoh couldn't allow his precious treasure to have any freedom, independence, or chance of escape, especially as Goku is not only his biggest draw and the crowd favourite, but is sort of a cautionary tale among the other Circus members of how much worse things can get whenever they feel the need to rebel.

So, Goku had never known anyone but Gyumaoh, Gyokumen Koushou, and Dr. Ni…that is, until the Circus 'recruited' Genjo Sanzo. Sanzo was an orphan, left to die of exposure in a basket on the river. He was found, at that time, by Ukoku Sanzo, who gave the baby a name and took him in. Ukoku raised Genjo with a completely normal life…almost. See, both Ukoku and Genjo were people blessed with magic, and Ukoku drilled it into Genjo early on that their magic was to stay hidden, to never use it. He told the young boy what Genjo always thought were just tall tales, cautionary tales, of a group of evil thiefs who came to steal magic if it was ever left loose and who would kill anyone who got in their way. But, unbeknownst to Genjo, at least at that time, not only were the tall tales all true but his precious father figure, the only person Genjo ever grew close to and loved, was the only member of Circus to ever escape, to ever thwart the contract and though his name was different then, he's become the stuff of legends to the Circus members, their own bedtime story.

Though it took years and year, Circus did find Ukoku though. In particular, Dr. Ni found Ukoku, who had formerly been his second-favourite test subject, right behind Goku. Honestly, it was only due to Genjo accidentally breaking the one rule, his magic exploding on a group of older boys who were badly bullying and almost torturing him. That hint of magic led Circus to investigate and when they investigated, Ni recognized Ukoku out in town. While Genjo was out to run errands, Dr. Ni tortured, interrogated, slaughtered Ukoku and, when the boy came back, Ni abducted the just tweenage age Genjo to take back to Circus.

Genjo is an odd addition to Circus. After Ni's repeated taunts about how Ukoku's death was all his fault, after all his experimentation on Genjo, Genjo refuses, even under torture, even under Ni's experiments, even under threats and severe mistreatment, to use his magic. Not only won't he use it for Circus, he refuses to use his magic again period. He had broken the rule once, after all, and it had led to the destruction of his whole world. He would respect Ukoku and love him moving forward by making sure to never break that rule again. So, since he cannot be made a side-show, and to continue his punishment and try to get him to break and grow compliant, Sanzo becomes the servant of even the servants. He's made to serve, set up, clean up, cook and feed the many performers and Circus' top three. He's underfed himself, exhausted physically and allowed little rest time. However, it's through that work that Sanzo meets Goku and the two strike up an odd, but enduring friendship. In the little time Sanzo can scrape out, he ends up camping besides Goku's cage, and the two boys grow to rely on each other, make each other feel stronger, more normal.

And the two boys grow to three and then to four with first the addition of Sha Gojyo. And oh boy, my lovelies, buckle up because the story of how Gojyo came to be a part of the Circus is not for the faint of heart. Gojyo was a bastard child, born out of his magical father's affair with a normal woman. The woman, after learning her child would likely be born with some degree of magical ability, and of her lover's own magical abilities, was disgusted, devastated and frightened. She wanted to get rid of the unborn child and would have…if Gojyo's father had not stopped her, held her captive until she birthed the child. The official story is she died in childbirth but only three people know the truth…Gojyo's father was actually married and his wife, after learning of her husband's affair and after months of having to look at his lover and take care of her snapped and attempted to kill Gojyo's mother. Gojyo's father stopped her, at first…then he made a bargain. He allowed his wife to butcher Gojyo's mother, with the compromise that she never harm his bastard son and agree to raise him alongside their legitimate son, Sha Jien. The worst part? Jien might have been very young, but he was old enough to realize what was happening and he witnessed the whole thing. However, the wife kept to her side of the bargain, raising Gojyo, though reluctantly so (as in she very much ignored and insulted him at every opportunity), at least up until Gojyo's late childhood, when his father died. After that, with her husband no longer around, her rage at the child grew and she started to brutally beat him whenever she could. Jien was always Gojyo's best friend, his protector, his beloved big brother, and Jien stepped in to calm his mother's temper, to protect his younger brother. What with Gojyo's father being magical, the wife being magical, and Jien being magical, the family had always been on the Circus' radar, but they didn't swoop in to grab anyone until that day…when Jien's mother tried to kill Gojyo. It was chaos and Gojyo's own magical powers awakened that day, though in the end it was Jien who actually killed his own mother, doing so to save his brother.

Gyumaoh was the one to actually take in the brother's. Well, kind of. See, it was decided that taking both into Circus as performers or servants would be too risky. The two together would be too much a source of support to each other, would give each other too much confidence and power. So Gyumaoh, in the aftermath of the chaos, when the boys were too dazed or, in Gojyo's case, unconscious in the wake of his powers, separated the two boys. Sha Jien was the boy left conscious, the one most aware, the one considered the most powerful and the one who Gyumaoh decided was the biggest threat. So he used a threat of his own - join Circus, and with Jien's superhuman strength and proven willingness to kill, become the private guard of Gyumaoh's own son, Kougaiji. And in return, Gyumaoh would spare the life of Jien's precious little brother and would take him in and give him a good life somewhere lovely. Too bad Gyumaoh doesn't exactly keep his promises, though Jien, renamed Dokugakuji to hide his status as the missing Sha Jien, witness and person of interest in his mother's murder, spent most of his life believing that Gyumaoh had.

Gojyo meanwhile, was taken immediately to Circus, told that his whole family had died and that he had been the one who killed both his 'mother' and his brother. Ni performed various experiments to enhance Gojyo's weak magical strength, told him he was giving the boy the chance to atone by using his magic, the magic that had murdered his family, for something good, for the amusement, astonishment, and delight of people. And so Gojyo becomes the Circus' strongman act, though he isn't treated much better than most of the performers, and still has to abide by the strict contracts that make his time in the Circus more indentured servitude. However, it's during this time that he and Sanzo meet. The two definitely don't get along, they fight more often than not, but maybe it's because the boys are around each other's ages, the only kids really around each other's ages at that time, but Gojyo kind of becomes interested in making friends. He follows Sanzo on one of Sanzo's visits to Goku and the three meet and it's with the addition of Goku that the three of them really stumble into this dysfunctional, bickering, weird and wonderful little friendship.

A friendship that is only added to when the Circus recruits a sixteen year old boy named Cho Hakkai. Hakkai's another one with a troubled past. An orphan who learned to use his own innate magic, the ability to know things simply by touching a person or object, to survive, becoming an expert grifter and pickpocket, found, at some point in time, a girl named Kanan who he ended up falling in puppy love with. Together, the two of them managed to make enough money to settle into a small town together. They lived together, presenting as a young couple starting their life together, both of them keeping their magic secret. Problem is, their magic was very similar and, as their relationship grew more loving and physical, they learned the truth - they were actually siblings. By then, though, they were too much in love, they were already a couple and they wanted to continue living their lives together. Both of them were already on Circus' radar, but Cho became a real target after, on his travels to make money, he found an injured baby dragon, something very, very rare. He named the dragon Jeep and took it in. The possibility of gaining a magical person and a rare magical creature was too much for Circus and Jianyi was sent to bring them in. And he managed to bring Cho and Jeep in…by having his own fun. It's unknown how exactly Jianyi gained his knowledge but he knew about the siblings actual connection to each other and he let it loose, through the grapevine, of their being not only siblings, but twins, in an incestuous relationship. The village not only shunned them, but bullied them badly in the next weeks, to the point where Kanan could no longer handle it. Jianyi had properly called her as too weak-minded for Circus, it seemed, because under the extreme persecution from the townspeople, she took her own life.

Left grieving and with his life in shambles, the only happiness he'd ever found taken away, the recently re-orphaned Hakkai was left susceptible to Jianyi's offer. He could find a new home in the Circus, where he would be taken care of and could learn to really harness and improve his magical gifts…improve them enough to take revenge on the town that had caused Kanan's death. The Circus could give that to him. So he signed the contract without a second thought.

Too bad that Circus was definitely not what Jianyi advertised it as. Hakkai was experimented on and he did gain much better control and more power, but he was so heavily drugged up and exhausted that he couldn't even think about getting away. He became the Circus' slave, both keeper of Jeep (as the dragon refused to behave and obey anyone other than Hakkai) and an act as a fortune teller, which people paid handsomely for. Unlike Sanzo and Gojyo, who didn't get along at all at first, Cho and Gojyo really hit it off when they met. It was through Gojyo that Hakkai found his first friend and grew to find more friends in Sanzo and Goku.

The four boys grew together, talked late into the nights, and though they argued and fought and seemed at times to almost hate each other, their bond became almost unbreakable, though they were all smart enough to keep it under wraps just how much so it was. Sometime throughout their years together in the Circus, the idea of a break-out, of an escape from Circus, got tossed out. At first it was just talk, just a wonderful dream to pass the time but I think at some point, the four of them really began to take it seriously. They plotted, planned, studied…and it worked, because they found a secret. They not only figured a way to break Goku loose from his chains, but they find a secret, a way out and they orchestrate the second breakout in the entire history of Circus.

Now, Gyokumen Koushou and Dr. Nii are definitely not happy about this breakout, especially given how precious and treasured a few of those escapees are. With Gyumaoh sick, Gyokumen Koushou really runs the show and she hasn't just been running Circus, but she's been meddling in other things. Her lover's legitimate wife, Rasetsunyo…nothing can be proven, but it's a pretty open secret that Gyokumen had the woman institunionalized. Rasetsunyo, mother of Gyumaoh's legimate son and heir to his fortune, is so heavily drugged and the institution won't allow Kougaiji visits with her, on Gyokumen's orders, as she's Gyumaoh's power of attorney and she gets to make those decisions.

And this is something she uses to her advantage to manipulate and use Kougaiji. She orders Kougaiji to track down and recapture the escapee's, using his own team, consisting of his bodyguard, Dokugakuji, and his childhood friend and a magical person with the ability to heal, Yaone. However, she also adds her own child with Gyumaoh, Lirin to his team, with orders to her daughter to keep an eye on the team and let her mother know if they weren't taking their orders with the utmost serious attitudes. However, this plan doesn't quite go to plan because honestly, Lirin has never really been coddled or even noticed by her mother, has always been super curious about the world outside Circus itself, and because she was never allowed to meet her half-brother, she's really just interested in getting to know him and spend time with him.

So the story really becomes the tale of their breakout, of their race to keep Circus from finding them, and Team Kougaiji really getting into all these hijinks trying to first find and then recapture the Sanzo Group, since they always seem to evade Team Kougaiji or end up beating them and re-escaping. It's by turns fun, funny, angsty, and uplifting and if I was to sit and write out the story, I can guarantee this would be a long, epic one, with a large focus really being on the character's, their stories and growth, and the bonds the characters all begin to grow and develop with each other.

Relationship building

⭐️ Headcanon(s) about our muses.

When they first met, Hakkai (or should I say Gonou) initially believed he and Gojyo would not get along at all, which was fine since he hadn’t planned on staying long anyway. But he did owe him his gratitude at the very least, seeing that this was the man who took in a dubious half-dead stranger and saw to it that he’s healed without even asking questions. A bit of an oddball, that one. It seems they had some things in common after all.

Hakkai likes keeping himself occupied with house chores and cooking. It simply shifts his mind to focus on productivity and usefulness. Having lived together for some time, he’d taken note of when Gojyo would typically be home/wake up and have meals prepared accordingly.

👀 My muse compliments yours.

“Well, someone’s on the ball today,” Hakkai observed with mirth. “You certainly aren’t showing them any mercy with those witty taunts and clean moves without rest.” Funny how their foes tend to come at them so impudently in great numbers, as if it would make any difference to the outcome of the battle. “Do be careful not to choke though... what with those slender legs of yours..~”

I think about Gojyo’s teenage life way too much and a headcanon I have is that he wears his hair long because it hides his ears.

It makes so much sense for him to have slightly pointy ears and it makes even more sense for him to try to hide them from hostile eyes. After all, anyone can dye their hair a deep shade of red (though one could question why they would, given that the hanyou are unfairly considered taboo) but his ears would give him away and make him a target during his difficult years after Jien.

Small Rant: I'm a pretty new Saiyuki fan but the story has brought me so much joy I couldn't help falling inlove. I've watched Gensoumaden, Gaiden and Reload! Oh I also watched their one movie. I own the first Saiyuki books as well! So I know a good amount of the story. I've seen stuff online about stuff I'm missing so if anything I write doesn't match that's why!

[crossroadsimagine]

Hi! I have a request for Saiyuki please! So, my question is: for Hakkai and Gojyo, can we get cuddling headcanons? (Like, any preferred positions, are they a cuddly person, who instigates, anything you choose that's related to cuddling.) Thank you! I love all of your writing and I'm so happy you write for Saiyuki! ❤️

☰ Hakkai

■ Doesn’t often instigate cuddles and only will if the two of you are alone, he’s also more prone to instigating cuddles if he feels like something is on your mind or you seem distraught or depressed because he will want to try and cheer you up.

■ Likes cuddling with you however it is most comfortable or practical at the time or where the two of you are, but often times prefers to cuddle with you sitting next to you, putting his arm around you, stroking your hair because he typically likes sitting next to you.

■ He will also like cuddling with you facing you, such as him lying on his back and your lying next to him on your side or stomach resting your head on his chest. But he will also like you leaning against him while sitting next to him or resting your head in his lap and vice versa.

■ Is very gentle and loving with you and tends to wait for you to instigate things or at least show interest in being close or cuddly with him, which he will always respond positively because he does like being near you and cuddling with you.

☰ Gojyo

■ Will instigate affectionate acts and cuddles with you pretty frequently because he really does like being affectionate and close to you, though he can also try to instigate or push things further than this at times especially when the two of you are alone. Though he’s not shy when it comes to PDA either.

■ Has a tendency to cuddle with you the most from behind and initiates cuddles from behind, with your back to his chest. Leaning against you or hugging you and wrapping his arms around your waist or stomach, especially when he’s bored or when he wants your attention particularly at times when you are busy.

■ He will prefer cuddling with you in bed just finding it more comfortable and even when lying down he will like cuddling with your back to his chest, he tends to stroke or play with your hair or run his fingertips along your arms, sides or stomach. When not in bed he will like sitting behind you and cuddling with you, having you either sitting between his legs or even on his lap and will often rest his chin on your shoulder or the top of your head.

■ Will always respond positively if you want to cuddle or if you try to instigate things because he will often beat you too it, but will absolutely adore you instigating cuddles with him. He also has a habit of kissing the top of your head, your forehead, cheek or your hand when cuddling with you and will like holding hands with you when cuddling.

Headcanons for Sanzo and Gojyo calming down an angry S/O and preventing her from snapping? She's not angry at them but at someone else of course :)

A/n: My two favorite boys!

Sanzo:

✨: It doesn’t take much to set you off when some rando decides to group you. Sanzo didn’t know at first but soon the whole bar finds out when you’re screaming at the man.

✨: Sanzo knows he should probably do something before you wreck the place but you look so damn attractive. It’s not until you grab a glass to chuck at the man is when he steps in.

✨: It just takes a light touch on your shoulder for you to calm down for a moment and a good glare from Sanzo to get the man to apologize and run on.

✨: If he gets you alone he’d do his best to tuck a stray of hair away that slipped in front of your eyes.

✨: Makes a comment that he’s proud that you stood up for yourself, may make a comment that he could get you a gun to defend yourself.

✨: You’re unsure if it’s a joke or not.

✨: Would wrap his arm around your waist, trying to get you to sleep...maybe a nice nap would work.

✨: He might even suggest to take you on a walk.

Gojyo:

✨: It was some snide remark that someone made about Gojyo that got you going. The two of you were enjoying some alone time for once and someone had to make some comment on his red hair and about him being some half breed.

✨: You did your best to ignore it, you didn’t care. You loved the half demon but you could tell even if he tried to hide it that it was bothering him.

✨: So you made some comment telling them to back off which in return caused a screening match between you and the stranger with you demanding that they apologize.

✨: Gojyo had to carry you off on his shoulders as a crowed started to form while you were still angrily screaming at the villager.

✨: He’d mostly bring you back to your shared room and comment on how cute you get when you’re angry.

✨: Though he’s more than likely wait for you to calm down as he sits in the room with you.

✨: Likes to sit on the bed with you hugging you close to his chest, may tease you but once you’ve calmed down enough he’ll thank you and tell you that he’s greatful for you defending him.

✨: Though going back to his old self he’d make some crass comment about how sexy you were and suggest a good round of sex if you want to blow off some steam.
