((Hi everyone this is a story I've written out before but never uploaded so I thought I'd upload it.

Basically, its what happens when the Sanzo-ikkou meets someone they new 500 years ago, takes place during the Homura arc. More details will be added throughout the story, like why she wasn't there for the rebellion, why she wears limiters, and what her past was like to help show how fucked up heaven is. But basically She's Ran, original supreme leader of the heavily army and puppet just like Nataku. Konzen was her cousin, Kanzeon Bosatsu her aunt and how she met Tenpou, Kenren, and Goku. Gets slightly confusing at times but please stick with the story. Also there is Yaoi, Sanzo (Konzen) X Goku and Hakkai (Tenpou) X Goyjo (Kenren). Also threesome is mentioned between Kenren, Tenpou, and Ran. Later to become Hakkai, Goyjo, and Ran so If you don't like that warning. Some three-way tension between Yaone, Dokugakuji, and Kougaiji. Thank you very much.))

It was cold out. But not just the normal brisk cold that slapped you in the face and woke you as you went about your business, this was a deep bone-chilling cold. One that seeped into your poors and made you want to hide inside. It was a cold that had the Sanzo-ikkou stopping in a town that they had originally just planned on passing through, a could that you could feel was going to turn into a storm. Hakkai had carefully navigated Hakuryuu down the packed street to the only inn the town had. But where they were hoping to have an almost empty inn where they each could have their own room that was not to be the case. As they walked in the door, Hakuryuu changed back and now perched on Hakkai's shoulder they waked in to chaos. Looking around they all seemed to pass a glance to each other, confused as to why a small inn in a small town would be packed.

"Sanzo, I'm hungry." Came the whine that fell from Goku's mouth as they looked for the proprietress. No where to be found Hakkai was about to ring a bell when a woman walked into the room carrying a large sack that obviously came from shopping. Looking up she blinked in shock before hurrying behind the counter to tend to the guests.

"Gomenasai," she said as she placed down the bag and took off her coat, allowing the ikkou their first good look at her. Pale skin, long wavy brow hair, dark green eyes in a face that was eerily symmetrical. She had a golden chain around her waist, and a matching chain crown. Both were studded with amethysts and emeralds, jems that played a deep part in the bangles on her wrists and ankles, and the bulky necklace about her neck, earrings to match dangled from her ear while cuffs crawled up one's side. All of her jewelry was gold and studded in jemstones. Sighing she brushed some hair from her face to reveal a small ruby stud in her nose. Other than that her clothes were normal, long white skirt and matching white sandals, off-the-shoulder deep green top and a purple corset tank over it to match a purple belt. If it wasn't for the overabundance of jewelry she'd have looked normal.

"I'm so sorry, normally there are more people on but obviously we are rather overbooked, and with the festival tomorrow everyone is working on the food. I'm afraid we only have two rooms left, is that okay?" She asked as she pulled out the sign-in book and went to get the keys. Hakkai looked at his friends and let out a light laugh, before he signed them in. A flash of gold and Sanzo had paid for them. Turning she smiled at them, and passed over their keys. "Thank you for staying with us, dinner will be ready in a half an hour if you wish to eat at the inn's restaurant." With that Sanzo and Goku headed off upstairs to room nine while Goyjo, Hakkai, and Hakaryuu went to room three on the first floor.

Half an hour later they walked into the bar and stopped dead, it wasn't the fact that the tables were full, but rather the sight of the ashtrays that made them stop. On each of the nine small tables there sat a frog ashtray. Goyjo looked at his friends as if making sure e wasn't seeing things. Hakkai blinked and looked back at him as Sanzo led them to a small table in the back of the restaurant. Once there and their order had been placed Goyjo spoke up.

"So what do you think was up with all the girl's jewelry? She looked like she had enough weight on to feed this town." Hakkai looked up and smiled at his friends bluntness.

"Yes well..." Hakkai murmured and then noticed a commotion by the door. Just as he looked up the girl from earlier was out and directing a few carts laden down with food their way when the commotion grew louder.

"RAN!" A sharp male voice called out and the girl looked up. Smiling she walked over to the doorway. They were close enough to hear bits and pieces.

"... outskirts of town..."

"... Asshole demons!"

"... taken Li and the Ling's..."

"... you have to stop them..."

"... not like anyone else can fight..."

Hakkai looked over at Sanzo and Goyjo with a lifted brow as the girl pulled off an apron and walked to the back of the bar. From behind the bar she drew out an old golden gun and battered old katana.

"Wakarimasda. I'll go get them back." She smiled and left the restaurant causing Hakkai to push back from his chair, Goyjo soon following as Sanzo paid.

"Excuse me, you don't mean to let her fight a group of demons by herself do you?" Hakkai asked, trying to remain calm. The male who had called her over sniffed and brushed past them.

"Your lucky we have Ran here to take care of those Youkai bastards. You're not from around here so you should just leave it alone." He said as he went to start picking up the ashtrays. "Li-Lee bring me a bag to pack Ran's shit in. No one will want to stay here when she comes back. So she'll have to go back to her house in the woods for a few days. Maybe a month."

Hakkai, almost unable to control his disgust ran from the building and, saw the girl from earlier, walking down the street, helping a child along. Once the child was back with his family (who Hakkai was trying to deny he saw slap the girls hands) the girl came the rest of the way to the inn. Katanna strapped to her side, gun in one hand. Just as she was about to go back in, the man came out and shoved two big brown bags into her arms.

"Sorry Ran but no one will sleep well if you are here tonight, go back to your house." The girl smiled and nodded and turned, about to walk past Hakkai again.

"Excuse me, miss?" Hakkai asked and saw her freeze. Slowly she turned to look at him, and Hakkai saw the blood on her face, the long deep scratched across her neck.

"Y-yes?" She asked.

"Would you like some help?" Hakkai asked, "My friends and I have a car and could drive you wherever you are going and... well those look much too heavy for a single person to carry. Plus you are hurt. I don't want to bug you but I know some qi-qong techniques that could help."

The girl blinked and stared at him. "Um... well... you probably shouldn't be seen with me... the villagers wouldn't like it... and the forest is too thick to drive to my house. And um..." As she was speaking Goyjo came up behind her and took the bags from her, passing one off to Goku.

"Whatever, like we care what people think." He said with a smirk, "Take the help okyaksan."

"Ran." She said, blushing lightly as she held a hand to her neck, "My name is Ran Lii."
