Disclaimer: I do not own The Law of Ueki or any other animes (and Capcom) or characters that are mentioned in this story. I own Misora, Kyoto, Yusa, Hana, and Koppu.
Summary: They are the perfect species that were half human half of a random breed. They reproduce like insects, and have the power to surpass god. Heaven shunned them because of this which resulted in Hell taking them all in and making them their slaves no longer having any freedom. They were the Genome. After a family uses their powers to allow their child to go the human world, most of the Genomes were executed. There are only 6 Genome left in the world. One fox, one horse, two angels, one peacock, and the perfect Genome that surpasses God in all ways and can destroy everything and that is the monkey king.

Me: Before I begin let me tell you one thing: This story has nothing to do with Hideyoshi despite him looking like a monkey. It's a Sano story. The rest will be explained as the story goes on. Finally, the events of the anime will be based on this story only I add the Genome species and the OC characters, and of course the yaoi paring.
Chapter 1: Execution of the Perfect Species: Genome
It was a dark place. Well, you don't expect hell to be a nice place now do you?
To put it to you simply, we are the Genomes. A species like no other that can overpower Heaven. We have the power to do what they can't. The power of healing, the seahorse effect (1), the power to destroy, anything you could imagine. It all depended on what type of Genome you were, since you are born half human and half of something else. It could be anything ranging from an animal to mystical creatures, angels and evil demons even if your parents weren't any of these animals. We wait for the day when a mother gives birth to the creature that brings Heaven and Hell together. The monkey king Sun Wong.
The day that would come seemed impossible at the moment because of how Heaven treated us. They shunned us and called us monsters and finally they started to kill us one by one. The Hellions of Hell took this chance to 'save' us and bring us to Hell only to become their slaves. The excuse whenever one of us questioned them is 'we saved you from heaven so you repay us with you obeying us every order'.
The Hellions just wanted us Genomes to do their bidding and destroy Heaven for shunning them. They take their anger out on us and beat us every day in the worst way possible. However, we Genome's can heal our selves very fast, so by the next day which would seem forever, our wounds would be gone. 'You won't die easily' they tell us and even if we did die they would ask us 'Who would miss us?'
No one cared about us, so we Genomes lived for each other to survive the depths of Hell hoping that one of us could give birth to the child that would become Sun Wong. A child that born with blond hair and golden eyes, (2) that had a monkey tail. The child would have a heart of gold and would save us all from Hell.
That day finally happened. A mother gave birth to a boy with a monkey tail with blonde hair and gold eyes. They named him Seichiro Sano. The day would have been glorious if the mother and father's owner haven't seen the birth of their child. He hid in the shadows and overheard them saying that their child can save everyone from Hell, so he thought 'If this child can save them from Hell as they say then it can also destroy Heaven and kill all the humans.' He finally made his appearance and told them that what they say is true then when he becomes the age of five, he will be used to kill off the humans to traumatize them.
The child's parents weren't going to allow that to happen, so they did something that resulted in the execution of all Genomes except the ones that escaped, or the one Genome that didn't go with the Hellions to begin with since she stayed in the Human World.
The mother and father of the child used all of their mighty powers to send their child to the Human World. When that child turned five and was able to think on his own. Of course after they gave the child their farewells they were killed on the spot by their owner who wanted to use the child to eradicate the humans. Those of us who saw the slaughter either ran away in fear, or went on a killing rampage and started to kill the Hellions even though the Genomes were outnumbers. A few of us took the chance of the battle to escape, but in the end only I escaped leaving my kid brother behind. I developed a cold hearted personality because of that and decided that the next time we would meet I would hate him to hide my shame of leaving him in the hellish pit.
I saw the light of day again, but I wished my little brother saw it too. He prayed to sat the sun shine on us and in the end I was the only one who saw it and I hated it. I decided that I would search for the other who escaped from Hell. It wasn't hard to find him since he was in front of a building with a cross a little out of the city. I saw a woman who wore all black pick him up and took him back to her house which wasn't far from the building. That was all I remember before I decided that I should worry about myself since it seemed that the child had someone to take care of him.
The child opened his eyes to see himself in a small room. It was nothing like what he saw in Hell. The room was bright. The sun shined into the room he was in. Everything seemed so peaceful.
"I see you're awake," a voice said. It was calm and peaceful like his mother's voice.
The child looked up to see the woman who was wearing all black. Black was the color that his father wore. She had sparkly blue eyes and a kind smile that could have melted anyone's heart.
The child gave no response. He was told by his parents not to talk to strangers. The women didn't seem to mind the silent treatment that he was giving her. She just had a set of clothes for him to wear which was a small white kimono. (3)
"You'll get a cold if you don't wear anything, even if it's sunny today," she told him.
The child still didn't say anything. The women thought more about his wellbeing so she forced the clothes that she got out to him. After a few struggles, she was able to put the kimono on. That was when she noticed the monkey tail that was attached to him stuck out of the kimono.
"Guess we can't do anything about that," she told him. She proceeded to ask the child his name, "Do you have a name?"
"I won't give my name because it has meaning," the child told her.
The women seem to have understood what he meant very well. This child took pride in his name if he had one. After all, she found him in front of the church that she attended.
"I see," was all she said before she left the room.
The child wondered what she was doing. He heard noised coming from one of the rooms. It sounded like water boiling.
The women came back with a tray that had a bowl of cereal and a few onigiris (4) on the side of the tray. She put it on the table that was next to the bed.
"You don't have to eat it," she began, "But I thought you were starving since you look like you haven't eaten in days."
The child was about to refuse when his stomach began growling. His hunger took over as he reached over for the onigiri and took a bite. It tasted like something he never tasted before (5) as he took another one.
"Is it good?" she asked the boy.
He nodded his head. In a few minutes all the food that was on the tray was gone. The women sweat dropped, "Just like a monkey…" she mumbled as she took the tray away. She was impressed that the child didn't make a mess like most children do. She wondered who taunt him not to be messy. She came back to see the child smile. The first she had seen from him all day.
"Now may I ask your name?" she asked hoping to get an answer this time since his mood was lifted.
"Sano Seichiro" he told her.
"That's a nice name," she began, "My name is Misora Hachimaki. Please to meet you. Do you have any parents?"
Sano frowned, "I don't think so anymore. They sent me here after they gave their farewells, and that's the last time I saw them…"
Misora frowned. That didn't make any since. Did that mean that his parents abandoned him or were they trying to protect him from something or someone?
"Are they dead?" she asked him. She knew it was a bad question to ask. Plus he might not know what the word 'dead' meant. He was only a five year old child after all.
"I think they are…" was all that Sano said.
Misora was shocked at the fact that he knew what the word meant and the fact that he didn't break down after thinking at what happened to his parents.
"I'll never be able to understand them," Sano said sadly.
Misora wondered if he really was a five year old. He was more mature than a normal five year old. Well, of course he wasn't a normal five year old. He had a monkey tail and it didn't seem that it would be pulled of easily without harming the person wearing it. Maybe he was born like that.
"I'm sorry," she said.
"Don't apologize Misora-san, it's not your fault…"
"If that's the case," Misora began changing her mood completely, "I'll take care of you even as if I am a nun!"
"Nun?" he asked himself.
"Someone who devotes themselves to God and someone who never will be married," she explained.
"Never be-"
"Don't worry about the details! From now on, I'm your new mother! Even if I don't know the first thing about being one..."
One may have thought that a Genome could have been rejected as soon as he or she went to the human world. Not Sano. He was welcomed with open arms with a dotting mother, and soon he was introduced to kids his age that went to the church. Since they learned that he was the adopted son of Misora, the women they adore with all of their heart, they easily became friends with him. One of them however was very observant of Sano and his three other friends, Kyoto a boy with orange hair that was very polite, Yusa who was the opposite of Kyoto with brown hair, and Hana the girl of the group with long purple hair. The quiet one was a boy named Koppu. He seemed older than the four, so he was the one taking care of them. His mother was always watching her adopted son and his friends from the sideline smiling.
There was only one time where Sano thought that he thought and that was when he went to the onsen with Misora and his friends when he was six years old. It was when he went to the hottest part of the onsen when he burned his eye and that was when he questioned himself since the burn mark would never be able to heal. Even after the onsen incident, he decided that he would still love onsens.
A Genome couldn't of had ask for a life like this. Sadly all happy moments have to come to an end which happened when Sano turned 7.
"Hey, Seichiro," his friend Hana began, "Why do you always have that tail on your butt?"
"I was born with it," he answered.
That didn't make any since to his friends. People aren't born with monkey tails, so he must be lying.
"Let's just see if that theory is true," Yusa told him as he was about to grab the tail. The tail moved to the other side very fast. Yusa tried to catch the tail, but the tail kept going to the other side. It eventually pissed him off, "That tail won't stay still!"
Sano sighed, "It has to move every now and then, right?"
Hana laughed at Yusa's stupidity.
"That's it! Now I'm mad!" he yelled as he continued making an attempt to grab the tail. The tail just kept moving until eventually he told Sano to get it to stop moving.
"I can't stop it, baka. It'll always move around like that and it won't let anyone touch it," Sano told him.
"Well I want to touch it, and it won't stop me!"
"You might get hurt if you keep trying Yusa-kun," Sano told him.
His friend didn't listen as he continued to grab at the tail. Finally he managed to trick the tail, grabbed it, and pulled it so hard that it affected Sano's whole body, causing him to yelp. "I guess it really is attached to you," Yusa mumbled as he continued pulling on it trying to prove that his theory was correct.
"Stop it Yusa-kun," Kyoto told him, "You're hurting him!"
"If I really was hurting him, he would fight back, right?" Yusa asked.
That was all it took for Sano to fight back. His tail glowed purple as it was hurting his friend's hand the longer he held onto it.
"See? A tail can't glow like that," Yusa told his friends. He didn't realize that the tail was injecting poison into his whole entire body. He didn't realize until his entire body became numb. He tried to keep a grip on the tail, but all was futile as the poison was spreading at an alarming rate. He eventually let go and collapsed.
Everyone gasped, "Yusa-kun! What's wrong?"
Hana and Kyoto were about to run over and touch him when Koppu told them to stop.
"There's something wrong with him!" Hana yelled at the silent one.
"We need to get Misora! She'll know what to do."
The two obeyed him and went to go get Misora. Koppu went over to Yusa and Sano. He examined both of them. When Sano's tail was pulled, he defended himself by poisoning the attacker of the tail. Koppu guessed that Yusa was going to die in five minutes since it wasn't ordinary poison; it was venom.
"Is he going to be okay, Koppu-kun?" Sano asked his friend.
Koppu smiled and lied, "He'll be okay."
Soon Misora, Hana, and Kyoto came back to see if Yusa was okay. Misora seemed to have worried more about Sano though. The ambulance came as fast as they could and took Yusa to the hospital not telling them what happened to him.
Once the ambulance drove off, Hana and Kyoto started to cry, Misora comforted them. Sano didn't understand what happened to Yusa, All he remembered was that his tail was grabbed he was thinking of a way to defend himself.
Koppu went over to him and whispered something to Sano's ears which he will never forget. (6)
The next day, the doctors announced that Yusa was dead. He was injected with venom, and that it spread through his entire body before the ambulance could get to the hospital. The only question was how he was poisoned. Misora didn't say anything since she has no idea how he was poisoned. With no clues, the police that was asking her the questioned left.
Hana and Kyoko knew it had something to do with Sano's tail. They thought he was the one who killed him by commanding the tail to do something to Yusa. They decided that they would never go back to the church again because their friend was murdered by their former friend.
Sano didn't understand why they left him. He did nothing wrong but defend himself. Soon people started leaving the church because of the incident and the rumor Hana and Kyoko had spread that the murderer was Misora's adopted son.
Pretty soon no one came to the church to pray, and if they did, they would all blame it on Sano.
The only people who still stood by Sano was Sano's dotting mother, and Koppu since all he said was that it was Yusa's fault for attacking Sano first.
The pain that Sano had to endure never ended, but was about to heal if they didn't come back to haunt him.
On that day in December, Sano decided to dye his hair black so that he could forget about what happened that day. That was when he heard his former friends calling him names outside of his house. Sano couldn't take it anymore, so after he was done dying his hair completely black, he went outside to see why they were still curing at him.
"Why are you still here?" Sano asked them which resulted in them throwing rocks at him.
"You're a murderer!" Hana shouted.
"You had to kill him, did you?" Kyoto asked.
"For the last time, I didn't kill him!" Sano shouted.
"You're the only one who could do something with that kill, you freak!" Hana cried.
"You're a monster! Monsters shouldn't be here!" Kyoto told him.
Sano couldn't take being called a monster or a freak anymore so he ran off away from the people he cared about so much. Somewhere where he could think it over.
When he finally realized what he should do about the situation, it was already midnight.
Misora-san must be worried about me. Sano thought to himself. He was thinking in a tree all day. He jumped down the tree and raced him which was a bad idea.
When he got home he saw blood on the door. That wasn't a good sign. Not at all.
Something in Sano's heart was telling him not to go in, but the other side told him to find out if Misora was okay. He took the chance to open the door. The door creaked.
Sano looked inside to see blood all over the floor, all over the walls, and even on the ceiling. He saw his former friends Hana and Kyoto on the floor dead. They were slashed with a sharp object repeatedly. Hana was stabbed in the stomach, Kyoko was stabbed in the neck which resulted in some of his head being ripped off. Sano was traumatized at the sight. They were killed right before he arrived because the blood was still damp. Then it led to the question; where was Misora-san?
Sano ran up the stairs since he didn't see her body on the floor downstairs. His world fell apart what he saw upstairs. His dotting mother was on the floor dead. Her nun clothes were ripped to shreds as she was full frontal nude. Her body was beaten, bruised and cut all over. It was apparent that the killer forced sexual intercourse on her and then he finally killed her.
"Misora-san…" Sano was able to get out but it was so weak.
He went up to the corpse and started to cry for a long time. But no matter how much he cried, she wasn't coming back. You could be closer to God, but after what the killer did to God she might not be able to go where God is. She might go to Hell. Hell…where the Hellions were.
He noticed that there was a box untouched by the murderer. It had a bow on it and a note that was written today. He went over to the box but first read the note.
Sano, I don't have that much time left. I know that you didn't cause your friends, death, which is why I stuck by you. I don't know about Koppu, but you shouldn't rely on him anymore. God gave me an impression that he was planning to kill you from the start. I'm glad that Koppu isn't the one who killed Hana-chan, Kyoto-kun and me. If you're reading this, I want you to know that I love you and the ones that killed us called themselves the Hellions… and they wanted you for some strange reason. I won't tell them anything about you. You can reassure that. I'll get to the point. Inside the box is a present I wanted to give you for Christmas. I know you still love onsens even after that incident, so I bought you this towel that would remind you of your love of hot springs and me. They're charging into the room now, so all I can tell you now is to be careful and not to let those Hellions catch you…I love you Sano even if these people kill me because of you.
Love now and forever,
Your foster mother Misora Hachimaki
Sano read the note again and again until tears started rolling down his cheek. He opened the box to see a white headband. He tied it on his head tightly. It fit perfectly.
He suddenly heard voices from downstairs. They were still in the house waiting for him to come back and do whatever they wanted to do with him.
The footsteps of the Hellions coming upstairs got louder and louder. Sano had nowhere to run. The only choice was the window. He had to break the window and run into the city in the clothes he was in now which was his usual kimono.
I guess I have no choice… Sano thought to himself as he used his tail to shatter the window. That made the Hellions run up the stairs into the room, but the time they got into the room where they killed Misora, Sano was already gone; out the window.
One of the two Hellions called on their cell phone telling their master that they're target escaped.
"That's okay. Just continue to pursue him until you catch him. Bring him to me. I want him unharmed."
The two listened to their master and hung up.
He continued to run far away from the Hellions. He knew that they would be chasing him for the rest of his life. It might be impossible to survive.
He hid himself in an alleyway in the city he was in. It wasn't the safest place to be since gangs could attack him, but he didn't care. He lost everyone close to him. First Yusa, then Hana, Kyoko, and his foster mother, and finally Koppu. He remembered the note; Koppu was the one he couldn't trust…
It was a very cold snowy night (it is winter after all. Almost Christmas). Almost everyone was off the streets home with their family. All the stores were closed. It was very hard to stay warm. That was when he noticed an animal rustling through the trash can. It was very hard to tell but the animal had a tail, and it was only looking for banana peels. It became apparent that it was a stray little monkey. Most people don't own monkeys anymore, so it was extremely rare to see a monkey on the streets. The monkey couldn't find any banana peels and eventually gave up. It was about to move away from the trash when it started to shiver uncontrollably. It might die tonight.
Sano moved from his spot and went over to the monkey. At first the monkey panicked and started to shriek loudly as if saying 'keep away from me'.
"I won't hurt you," Sano told it calmly as he patted the monkey on it's head.
The monkey calmed down when it realized that Sano was in the same position as it was. It allowed Sano to hold it tightly. Sano noticed the tag on the monkey's neck which was the name of the monkey and the gender. The tag read 'Name: Sonson Gender: Female'.
"So your name is Sonson? (7)" Sano asked the monkey.
Sonson perked up as if saying 'yes'. Sano decided to take care of the monkey not only because she was in the same situation of him, but because he wanted a companion, and he thought Sonson could be his companion.
"If you're homeless," Sano began, "You could always be with me. We're the same."
Sonson looked at Sano and smiled as it held onto Sano tightly. Sano smiled as he saw Sonson drift off to sleep. I guess I won't be alone after all.
The next chilly early morning, Sonson woke up Sano. Sano smiled at his little companion. He got up and decided to head in the direction of his home and the church to get some things that he didn't bring last night only to be stunned at the sight. Those Hellions burned down his house and the church last night. Sonson looked at her new owner and made a monkey noise like asking him 'Are you okay?'
"I guess…this means no turning back now…" Sano mumbled as he walked away from the torched house. (8)
Me: I would LOVE to continue, but I have to stop it there.
Yohko: Not like you're going to write the next chapter right away.
Me: Shut up!
Toshiro: This seems…pretty good. You should have started with-
Me: NOTES!
1. The seahorse effect is where a male can give birth to young like the female. So basically male Genomes can give birth to young as well.
2. Blonde hair and blue eyes would make people think that it was Robert. I decided that blonde hair and gold eyes would be better since both Sonson and Goku from Saiyuki have gold eyes. However they have brown hair.
3. A hint about slavery. The Genomes were not allowed to wear clothes when they in Hell, so going to the Human World, they can do whatever they want if the Hellions weren't chasing them.
4. Onigiri is a rice ball.
5. Another hint about slavery. The Genomes weren't allowed to eat fancy food like the Hellions, so they were probably given something worse than a plain onigiri ball.
6. Very important scene later in the story since Koppu will no longer be seen until much later in the story.
7. Sonson is the name of the monkey girl from Capcom's Journey to the West Game. She is everything like Goku from Saiyuki. One of the cutest characters in Marvel vs. Capcom 2. She will be making an appearance later in the story -hint-
8. When I thought of this scene, I thought of the episode in Full Metal Alchemist where the Elric Brothers burned down their own house so they wouldn't turn back.
Toshiro: So when does the part where the anime begins?
Me: After Inumaru is introduced in chapter 2, the anime will begin with chapter 3 where Sano meets Kosuke for the first time. So the preview…
"Who are you?"
"I'm Inumaru Wanko, and I would like you to participate in the battle."
"-Squeak- (Don't do it Sano! He's trying to trick you!)"
"So Hachimaki-kun, have you decided if you wanted to participate or not?"
"Umm…that is…err…"
"-Grr- (Stop stalking Sano!)"
"My name isn't Misora Hachimaki-kun. It's Sano Seichiro, and you best remember it since you're my God Candidate from now on!"
"-Pouts- (Dog man convinced him…)"
"Ooki? (What's the power that Inumaru gave you?)"
"The power to turn towels into steel!"
Tower turns into steel.
"-Sweatdrop- Ooo….(Lame…)"
"What did you want to show me that's so high up Sano-kun?"
"Oooooki! (Shut up and keep climbing!)"
"You're see when we get to the top…"
Me: I didn't want to spoil the one action scene in this chapter, but there will be one action scene in the next chapter. So please read and review, and please give Yaoi a chance, nya!
Yohko: She means it.
Me: I will now go play Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and play Sonson now, so ja ne!
Aussa: What about the next update!
Me: It will be before school starts on September 6!
I leave the room.
Toshiro: -Sweatdrop- I guess that explains everything…
