Ryoko: Hi, there. Here is a new story by me, put up by my friend.
A little warning…this is going to have slight things like characters from other animes. I will let you know when they come in.
Title: Saiyuki Beginner's Luck
Description: This takes place before the four Saiyuki guys meet up with each other. So, pretty much they are still kids (except for Goku). Chiisa Wong, Chii for short, had just gotten separated from her twin sister. After fighting with youkai, she is lost without her arms. Now, she is living on her own, while trying to find her twin sister Rin.
Warning: Slight angst/horror, at least which is what I would put.
Chapter 1: Separation of Twins
A chilly wind blew through the cold autumn air; the soft breeze blew through our crimson hair. My twin sister and I were sitting under a tree trying to catch our breath. The day was dead, so, our only light source was from the tow nail clipped moon.
"How long do we have to keep running?" I asked in between gasps.
"Until the youkai stop chasing us," my sister said, trying to catch her breath.
We lived in a world where youkai and ningens live in tranquility known ad Shangri-La. But, when you are of youkai magic and ningen science, you are known as a hanyou, aka a "Child of Taboo". That would be my sister, Rin, and I.
Our father was ningen and mother, youkai. But, because of us being "Taboo", ningens and other youkai were out to kill us.
We were living in a region that was completely against "Taboo Children". Where, the day they were born, they were killed. Only, that was different for our parents. They didn't want us killed, so, they ran away.
For the first seven years of our life, we lived in secret. But, there were always ningens and youkai out to exterminate us. Now, at eight years old, our parents were killed, leaving us to fend for ourselves, with those same killing machine youkai after us.
"I heard voices," said a deep, raspy voice coming from the bushes close to us.
"Come on!" my sister said, grabbing my hand, forcing me up, and beginning to run.
The two of us ran as fast as we could, trying not to get spotted by the youkai.
"There they are!" shouted one of the youkai.
All of a sudden, three youkai jumped out from the bushes and blocked our path.
"You're surrounded," the youkai said, more popping out from the other bushes, blocking all of our emergency exits.
"There's no escaping now, girls," the leader of the band of youkai said, a lustful grin on his face and drool dripping down the side of his mouth.
I looked at my sister. "What now?"
Her eyes darted back and forth, trying to see if there was any way for us to escape.
"Chii-chan, I will distract the youkai, while you make a run for it," Rin said, pulling out a few tiny pieces of paper from a tiny pocket on her pants.
(Ryoko: Okay, this is the first anime, ROD TV. Three of the characters n there are paper masters.)
Since we were both part youkai, we had powers like them. Well, Rin did, I didn't have any powers, not yet, anyway.
"But, Rin-néesan…" I started, only to get interrupted by her.
"No! Just go! I'll be fine!" she snapped at me.
"Alright," I gulped, nodding.
Rin was a paper master, so her powers were shapeshifting any paper to use as a weapon.
Rin shaped the few pieces of paper into a sword. She stood in front of me, getting into a fighting stance.
"Oh, so the little girls they think they have what it takes to defeat us," the leader laughed, a sword appearing in his right hand.
"Now!" Rin shouted.
On the signal, I made a dash for it, running between a few youkai.
"We have a runner!" the leader yelled, pointing at one of his minions to go after me.
"Yes, sir," the youkai said.
Gotta keep running! I cried out in my mind, hoping my speed would carry me far away.
"Not so fast, girly," said the youkai, appearing in front of me, making me come to a screeching halt.
The youkai had characteristics similar to a ningen, but still had the genes of his ancestors.
He had short, messy silver hair and dark brown eyes. He had pointy ears, teeth, and nails.
Suddenly, a scythe appeared in his hand. "I am going to have fun with you. I'm a bit hungry, so, you should make a great snack."
I tremble in fear, backing up. I was defenseless; I couldn't protect myself. Plus, I was still worn out from all the running I did.
The youkai came up to me, planted on his face was the most disgusting grin.
"You are kinda cute, so, I think I'll make your death painfully slow," he said, whispering in my ear.
The youkai grabbed my wrist, stopping me from getting away. He moved his head, placing his lips on mine in a rough kiss. With his free hand, he placed his hand on my butt.
I'm gonna die! I cried in my head.
So many thoughts were running through my mind. So, when I came across a desperate one, I bit the youkai's lips.
"Gyahhh!" he yelled in pain. "You son of a…"
He let go of my wrist and whacked me across the face. I didn't let out a sound; the only thing that was coming out was a stream of tears.
"For that, you get punished," he growled.
"I'm sorry!" I screamed.
"Too late, brat!" he laughed, clashing his blade through my right arm, blood gushing out.
I cried in screamed, being in so much agony.
He continued to laugh. "This should show you."
Again, the freezing metal blade met my delicate skin, slashing through my left arm.
I gasped as my arms dropped.
"Ha, ha, ha! This shows who is boss!" he said, laughing maniacally.
"So, you like hurting people weaker than you," I said, not actually me, it was as if I was possessed.
"What the…" the youkai gasped. "But, you're supposed to be dead!'
"True, but that was because I switched with Chiisa, so she only passed out," the other me said.
"Who t-the hell are you?" the youkai shouted, stuttering.
"I thought you'd never ask," the other me smiled, beginning to introduce herself. "I am the master of darkness, the ruler of the moon, the princess of pain and misery. I am the Yin-Goddess, Kurai!"
"What?" the youkai questioned. "How could that me? Gods shouldn't be here!"
"Well, I have a reason to be here," Kurai said, strange semi-invisible arms coming out from my body. "Chiisa hasn't tapped into her vectors yet, so, I think I'll do the honors of killing you for her."
(Ryoko: Okay, here is another anime. Vectors are from Elfin Lied.)
The youkai continued to laughing like a maniac. "Y-you think you have what it takes to defeat me!?! Ha! I'm the strongest youkai alive! I t-think I'm even stronger than the gods!"
"Really, now?" Kurai asked, crossing my arms. "Well, let's see if you have what it takes to go up against my vectors."
The youkai readied his scythe, charging at Kurai. She just stood there. When he was close enough, the youkai was grabbed around the neck by the vectors.
"See, no one can go up against my vectors," Kurai said, choking the youkai. "Maybe Chiisa should see this."
"Huh?" I questioned, wondering what was going on.
I looked up and saw the youkai being choked to death by the vectors.
Suddenly, SNAP! The youkai's head rolled off.
I started gasping, trying to get a hold of myself. "This…this has to be a dream!"
Then, everything went black. The dead body, vectors, along with the forest disappeared.
"Rin!" I shouted.
"She's not here," said Kurai, appearing in front of me.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Nothing," she said.
Kurai looked exactly like me, only with a few differences. She had crimson eyes and hair like me. But, her hair was tied back. Mine stopped at my shoulder blades. Another difference was Kurai was taller than me.
Kurai walked up to me. She placed a hand on my head.
"I am sorry for making you witness that scene. I wanted you to see the power of the vectors," she apologized.
Kurai removed her hand from my head and placed it on what was left of my arm. All of a sudden, Kurai's hand started to glow a warm, eerie black. I watched as a limb appeared.
"You…revived my arm back," I stated.
"Not entirely. You see, this isn't your true arm. It is an arm made of clay. But, the only problem with it is, it can fall off. If a person or you tug on it, it falls off. If you pick up or carry something over fifty pounds, they fall off," she explained, making another arm come from my left limb.
With that done, Kurai disappeared. The darkness turned back into the forest and the same dead youkai body.
I looked at the body. I shivered in fear.
"I gotta go find Rin," I said, running back into the direction I came from.
Ryoko: Okay, taking two days to type it and three days to write it, the first chappie is finished. Hope you enjoyed it.
