It's my hope that said person has grown up a bit (and I think she has), so if she were to see me she'd probably just pass on by. It took me months after she and I had our falling out that I could even read or watch Saiyuki, because of how tied in my mind she became to the series.
Now-a-days the issue usually is not having the inspiration. Everything's either two short or I don't have the time to invest in a huge piece. I was hoping to do some short stories, really.
I do like male slash (I know it's not your thing but I am going somewhere with this), but I could never get into anything involving Kougaiji because of how the authors always dismissed Yaone (and Lirin) from Kougaiji's mind. And while I am a huge Kou/Yaone shipper I'm also flexible, unless you start writing out their significance. This is my main issue with a lot of pairings, really, because it seems like people don't understand that you can have an important and meaningful relationship with more than the person you're bumping headboards with.
Yaone definitely needs more love. I also crave genfic Kougaiji-tachi adventures.
I wish there were more female characters in Saiyuki who 1) didn't get fridged or 2) are only around for a single story arc. I love me some pretty boys too, but I like a bit of variety in my pairings.
I do buy the volumes in English, but I was talking about the scanlations that are already out. I used to read them every month and then buy the volume when it came out anyways. it's weird that I haven't been on top of it - it doesn't take very long to read a chapter.
