JJ-Jefferu: I thought I would try my luck at a Saiyuki fic. It follows no story line. Characters might be a bit out of character, so please forgive me.
Gojyo: What is this place.
JJ-Jefferu: This is where what I write controls you.
Gojyo: -gets scared-
Sanzo: -rolls eyes and looks at paper- JJ-Jefferu does not own Saiyuki or any of its characters, nor anything that is owned by anyone else. She only owns: the laptop used to write this, the plotline, Akira, Kai, and anything else that doesn't appear like it belongs to someone else. She is writing this for fun.
Hakkai: Enjoy.
Goku: I'm hungry.
Chapter 1: Waking Up.
I felt as if I was floating in an abyss of nothingness. The last thing I remembered before I had this feeling was talking and joking with my younger sister about how I not only disobeyed our mother by dying my hair blue and green but I cut my butt length hair to about my shoulders with multiply layers and side-swept bangs. I tried to open my eyes but nothing was working, they just wouldn't open and I was beginning to feel afraid. I couldn't speak out in this darkness, nor could I move. A gentle nudge slowly started to bring me out of the empty place, but before I could begin to understand anything that was happening, a voice called out to me.
Do not be afraid young one. Everything will become clearer as you progress on in this life. What you shall see is no illusion, but a different plane than the one you believe you are from. Be safe.
Then sudden a bright light poured into my line of vision. I screamed at its intensity and immediately threw my hands over my eyes.
"Too bright," I mumble as my eyes start adjusting to the light. I felt something heavy on my head and put my hand up there to check what it was. I pulled down off the top of my head a pair of purple tinted sunglasses that had butterflies on the legs. Quickly I put them over my light sensitive eyes and let out a sigh of relief now that everything was dimmer.
"Miss?" a voice calls in front of me, but I don't see a person instead I'm met with the scenery of a forest, one in which I've never seen before, or at least cannot recall. "Miss," the voice says closer. I jump at the feeling of a hand on my shoulder. I turn to the side and my brown eyes lock onto a pair of crimson orbs. I had never seen eyes like that expect in my favorite anime series: Saiyuki.
"Are you alright?" another voice says, I think it was coming from the guy next to me. I shake my head, afraid to speak for the first time since I was a child.
"Miss," the same gentle voice from before says and a person kneels down in front of me. I break eye contact with the crimson eyed male, his voice was what gave him away, and look in front of me. I meet a pair of brown eyes and see this person clearly and my eyes widen. "How did you end up here?" He asks. I just stare at him.
"Well Hakkai it appears that you've made this girl speechless," the voice to my left says.
"I don't believe that is the case Gojyo. I believe she's in shock." Hakkai says. I turn my head to the left and look at the guy who was still there. Sure as shit it was Gojyo. I glance around more and see Sanzo and Goku leaning against a tree. Goku wasn't really paying attention, but Sanzo's eyes were locked on mine.
"Kira," Sanzo whispers. My eyes widen, how did he know? Hakkai, Goku, and Gojyo must have heard him because their attention leaves me and they look at their leader with wondering eyes.
"You know her Sanzo?" Goku asks for the first time. Sanzo gets off the tree and walks over to us. He kneels down next to Hakkai and reaches forward to touch my hair.
"Hmm, still rebelling I see Kira." He mumbles more to himself than to anyone else. I take my hand and put it on his. Suddenly images of a past flow into my head: Me as a child running around with a blonde, getting into trouble because I wasn't supposed to be at the temple but the elders had allowed it because one of their Sanzo priests took me in. All the times came so fast that I was becoming dizzy. It was everything I couldn't remember. From the time I was little until I was a pre-teen, nearly a teenager, all the memories my mother said I might never recall.
"Shit," I pull back from Sanzo and just stare at him.
"How is that possible," I whisper, there was just too many questions swirling through my mind.
"It would seem as she knows you as well. Ay, Sanzo." Gojyo says standing up, along with Hakkai. "What did you do to this poor girl? Make her think you were dead or something?" Gojyo jokes. Sanzo's eyebrow twitches and he pulls out his gun and points it at Gojyo.
"Don't joke like that you perverted water-sprite," Sanzo growls and then he stands up. He holds a hand out to me and I grab it without a second thought. As soon as I'm on my feet, I'm pulled into a chest. Sanzo wrapped his arms around me and was hugging me. From the gasps and my knowledge, this wasn't something Sanzo did often. "I thought you were dead Kira." Sanzo whispers into my hair.
I must have passed out after that because the next thing I knew I was waking up in a bed. It wasn't what I was used to back home but it was still comfy. My ears were greeted by the sounds of snoring and heavy breathing. Meaning I was in a room full of sleeping people, but the smell of a cigarette burning quickly told me someone was awake. I open my eyes and look to my left and saw Sanzo sitting there staring off into space smoking. The bed I was sleeping in creaked as I sat up, it broke Sanzo out of his trance and he looked over at me.
"I see you're finally awake," he says quietly. I nod and make my way over to the window seal and sit next to him.
"How long was I out for?" I ask glancing out the window. The sun was about to come up, so that means I was out for a while.
"Since about mid-day yesterday," he takes a puff of his cigarette and then glances at me. "Do you remember anything that happened to you?"
"Why?" I ask looking at his confused. He motions down to my clothes and I notice that I wasn't wearing what I had been originally.
"When we found you unconscious in the forest you were covered with blood and had a few deep gashes yourself. From what Hakkai concluded most of the blood you were covered in was demon blood." I stare down at my lap and the blue of the jeans I was now in. My button up shirt had been replaced with a white tank top and I could feel the bandages covering my ribs and a portion of my upper arms.
"This is going to sound strange to you Sanzo, but I honestly don't know how I even came to be in this world. " I start and look out the window as the sun starts to come up. "Until yesterday I couldn't remember anything from before I was 13. Where I was living there was busy cities everywhere. We had planes to transport us to our destinations faster than a car could, the population of cities was very high, and people didn't care as much about the environment or what the effects of what they did cause to others. We also had televisions and shows on them. My favorite one had been Saiyuki, and its many sequels. The main characters were a group of four travelers. A Sanzo Priest, a half-breed, a demon, and a human turned demon." I felt Sanzo tensing as I was telling my story. "They were you guys; it's why I was in shock earlier when Hakkai spoke to me. I know it seems strange and you probably don't believe me." I say looking back down at the jeans I was wearing. I felt Sanzo shift and him put his arm around me and pull me into a side-ways hug.
"You never lied to me in the past. Why should I start to think you would lie now? I can't help but wondering. What was the last thing you remember before you woke up here?" Sanzo asks. I sigh.
"All I remember was walking home from my classes to my apartment; I only lived like a block or two from the college. I was rounding the finally corner before my building would be in view and I was attacked." I say simply. "I don't remember the details but I know I got in a few good hits and they did as well, the next thing I knew I was floating in a sea of nothingness and then Hakkai was waking me up." I finish.
"Hm," is all he has to say.
"Can I ask whose clothes I am wearing and what happened to mine?" Sanzo looks over at Gojyo and then back at me.
"The pants and shirt belong to Gojyo. Hakkai tried to save you clothes but you tank top was ruined and your shorts didn't look like they would be able to keep your warm. So I saved them as something you could sleep in." Sanzo explained. I nod.
"What about my long sleeve button up shirt?" I ask. Sanzo points to the table. I smile at seeing it. "Is it possible to go get some clothes before the others awake? I don't know how comfortable I feel around anyone but you." I ask looking down. Sanzo stands up and heads towards the door. He wasn't wearing his robes, it was a rare site.
"Come on. We don't have long then, Hakkai is always the first to wake," Sanzo says walking out the door. I grab my shirt off the table and follow him out.
JJ-Jefferu: I'm starting classes tomorrow. So I'll update this one weekly as well.
Hakkai: She could update sooner, but only if people like it.
JJ-Jefferu: Please tell me what you think. I've been watching too much Saiyuki and this popped into my head.
