I hope you enjoy... duh i don't own saiyuki just Lumina and any other OC... please review thanks :*!
Time has been stop along with the will of one child. Her cries of plea reached out far to be answered… the answer came. However the result back fired on her not exactly what she wanted. All the little girl wanted was to be with her family… Forever she shall be with them in her own ignorant bliss until four unlikely heroes wake her into reality…
Hakkai drove down the seemingly normal road; surrounded by mountain terrain it was eerily peaceful. Getting an early start Goku and Gojyo willingly hopped in the jeep, to fall back asleep. His hair whipped around violently from how fasted he was driving, still he took the time to notice Sanzo. That same cigarette hanging out of his mouth with his eyes fixed on nothing but, the road ahead.
Turning his attention back to the road he was startled, out of nowhere there was a dead end. It looked clear for miles the last time he checked. Thinking fast he swerved the car avoiding the rock wall while waking everyone else up.
"Shit! Man you could be less rough with the jeep! Some people are trying to catch their beauty sleep!" Gojyo complained.
"Trust me Gojyo needs all the beauty sleep he can get. I mean look at his face it's all wrinkly!"
"You damned monkey! I am not that old to have wrinkles yet."
"I don't know there all around ya eyes!" He teased the red head.
"Alright let's go and I'll show you wrinkles!" Gojyo grabbed Goku by the collar ready to fight.
CLICK! BANG! Right on cue Sanzo shot his gun scare the other two to be quiet.
"I WAS SLEEPING YOU BASTARDS!"
"Fuck man we're sorry!" They yelled back
"Haha!" Hakkai laughed nervously, "Let's be civil now."
The tension in the air died with their conversation. Hakkai started to question if he was really on the right path, since when did he arrive in a forest?
"So how long till the next village I'm starving!" Goku interrupted the silence.
"Honestly, I have no idea…"
"What do you mean you don't know?" Gojyo asked.
"The forest wasn't on the map so I figured I made a wrong turn." Sheepishly he smiled.
Sanzo twitched. Just fucking great, he thought, stuck outside again with these idiots.
"Oh Hakkai! Look there's someone walking! HEY MISTER-"Goku stopped yelling as the man turned around… A DEMON! The four grew on the defensive as they drew closer.
"Ahh. Travels what a pleasant surprise! What can I do for you?" He replied cheerfully
They group looked at each other apprehensively. Was he for real? He's a demon so why is he acting so friendly. Hakkai was the first to say anything.
"Yes can you tell me where there's a village at?"
"Well you're not to far the village is right outside the forest! In fact I can show you if you want?"
"Um, well, alright."
Goku shifted uncomfortably as he made room for the man. Still weary the group kept their guard up.
"May I ask travelers what brings you way out here?" He asked innocently.
"Well to exterminate- mrphfmphrf" Goku was stopped by Gojyo.
"We're just site seeing that's all"
"Oh well, must be exciting! Hey, we're here! Welcome to the village of Will."
The forest path cleared as the new light blinded them. The brightness faded into a magnificent view of a clean and peaceful village. It was so fresh and untainted, unlike all the others they had been to. No signs of hate in the air and no gloomy faces. It was strange to the Sanzo party that demon and human still had an unfazed relationship. What the hell was going on here?
"Please welcomed guest, try our hotel it's one of the finest! I must leave you my family is waiting for me!" With that said the man left the four to their confusion.
"Well, what do we say about this situation?" Gojyo asked.
"I have no I idea, I mean I sense nothing but, happy energy." Hakkai replied.
"Who cares? Let's go and eat I'm SOOOOO HUNGRY!" Jumping out of the jeep he ran into the hotel.
"Damned monkey" muttered Sanzo as he followed him with the other two behind him.
Later that day at dinner…
The door creaked open to reveal a 10 year old girl happily make her way to the bar.
"My dear Lumina! What a pleasant surprise, what can I do for you?" The waitress smiled back.
"Well mom and dad are too busy to come down here but, they would like the usual bottles of wine." Lumina pulled out some money and put it on the table.
"Those two and their wines. You would think with being monks they would no better." She joked back.
"Well if they were regular monks then me and my siblings wouldn't be here so, what do you expect?"
"Very true, little one." The waitress set two bottles of white wine on the counter. "Would you like anything else?"
"Mhmmm." She tapped her chin with her pointer finger, "Its big bothers birthday soon so could you spare one more wine? The Rum and Red, please."
"Yes, deary." Setting the other one on the counter Lumina grabbed a bag and placed all of them carefully in it, "Are you sure you can carry all that?"
"Yup I'm strong; kicking all the training monks' ass helps me build my muscle." Not watching where she was going she ran straight into the blond monk. Looking up she embarrassedly bowed.
"I'm so sorry."
"Tch, whatever." Indifferently he kept smoking his cig.
"Now Sanzo how can you be so mean to such a pretty girl? Its fine, by the way I'm Gojyo" The red head smiled.
"Hi I'm Luminara, Shizu. Call me Lumina!"
"I'm Goku."
"And I'm Hakkai, and this is Sanzo the grumpy monk."
"Nice to meet you all! Did you say monk? You're just like my parents!"
"Your parents are monks?"
"Yeah, they aren't too keen on following rules. That's why I'm here, and my five other siblings"
Hakkai, Gojyo, and Goku chuckled, not a great follower of rules kind of like their very own monk.
"If you like you can meet them?"
"That would be lovely." Hakkai replied kindly.
At the temple
The building seemed to age gracefully blending in with the setting around it. Vines encased the outside adding a vintage touch. The monks scurried everywhere; some trained others reviewed over scrolls.
"My parents are in the office, its right through here." Lumina opened the door alerting her parents of the guest.
"Love, I told you to bring wine not four guys." Her mother teased softly.
"Well, I've got the wine and these guys are travelers with a monk so I thought I would bring them."
Hakkai sat the wine down on the table as Kuji thanked him hoping his daughter wasn't a trouble. The group talked for along while over dinner explaining everything about the village. Goku opened his big mouth surprising the whole family. He asked why the demons were all nice here instead of fighting the humans. Hikari, Lumina's mom, told them that had to be impossible, in fact they have never heard of such things. After her comment it ended the conversation completely. Lumina became quiet and a little nervous; she tried to pull it off by switching to a topic about training. She didn't go completely unnoticed for Sanzo caught that she was hiding something.
Later that night…
"Ah this place is so cool and the people here are just great!" Goku exclaimed as he fell on the bed.
"Yes I feel it's a little to 'cool'" Gojyo replied looking to his comrades
"I know I have this suspicious feeling that all is not as it seems." Hakkai agreed.
"I think we should find out the truth now." Sanzo stood up and went to look for anything unusual around the temple.
The guys searched the whole temple until they came to another part to the monastery. The building separated itself from the rest. The small building glowed with an ominous presence luring Sanzo and the others to open the door. So they did and there floating in the middle of the room was a magical scroll.
"Wow, what is that?" Goku asked closing the distance between him and the object. Sanzo's cig dropped to the ground.
"I can't believe the scroll of will. It's still intact."
"What do you mean? You are familiar with this scroll?" Hakkai asked
"My master told me of a legend of the scroll of will, it supposedly disappeared along time ago. It was said to have frozen time from the heart of one girl." The realization dawned on him. "Lumina!"
"NO! Why are you here! You've disrupted everything!" The little girl yells, dropping to the ground.
"What do you mean? Hey are you okay?" Hakkai goes to grab her but, she slaps his hand.
"I'm not okay… Oh no! Mom, dad, and my siblings!" She started to cry, "They're going to die!"
"Die? Hey Lumina wait." Goku ran after her.
Lumina ran as fast as she could through the temple, screams filled the temple as several hundreds of demons slaughtered everyone.
"Shit! What is this where did they come from?" Goku yelled bring out his nyo-boi. Swing it around his weapon went right through the demons, as if they were transparent.
"Goku its no use! They are the girls memories you can't stop them!" Hakkai said running to find Lumina.
"What the hell! Wait for me guys!"
Catching up with Lumina she held one her youngest siblings cradling them.
"My family… I'm so sorry... you had to die again… all because I didn't want to be alone…" They tears fell down faster as she continued on, "The horror you must have felt… its bad enough you died once… Please forgive me…" Lights surrounded her family as they disappeared into thin air.
Hakkai walked over to the young girl who just looked at her hands. "They must hate me." She said aloud.
"Of course not, who could blame a 10 year old for what happened."
"You don't understand I knew what I was doing. I knew they were going to die and I still couldn't accept it."
"How could you know?"
"That's easy my dear Tempo." Turning around the goddess of mercy stood in reveling clothing.
"Tch, why are you here?" Sanzo spit out.
"To help the situation, look I even brought someone." Stepping out from behind her a beautiful woman made her presences known. Her white, long, flowing, hair cascaded down to the ground as she stepped towards them.
"Mom!" Lumina yelled, "I thought I would never see you again."
"Love, you should know better I am always here." Placing her hand over her heart she felt the warmth from her hand.
"I'm sorry I did something unforgivable." She started to cry again.
"Hush my bright star, big girls don't cry do they?" Stopping her tears she nodded slightly."Now, Sanzo party I would like to thank you for everything, setting us free along with my daughter."
"What exactly happened?" Hakkai politely asked.
"The stars had reviled to us that we were to die however, my little girl would still live. Lumina over heard the star readers and refused to believe it. So on the night of the invasion she used the scroll of will to stop time and stay together forever." Lumina looked down disappointedly, Hikari grabbed her chin. "There is no time to be depressed you have a mission to complete."
"What would that be?"
"To help bring the will back to the demons to help them realize that what they are doing is wrong." She placed her on the ground, "Remember you are never alone." Her dad joined HIkari along with her siblings. "We are the empowering spirits behind the scroll." Images of the villagers joined them but, then started to fade. "We are the strength. We are belief. We are will!" With that they disappeared.
"Now that is settled I believe one more adjustment is in order." With a snap of her finger the scroll wrapped itself around Lumina. Magically the girl grew older; her bleach blond hair flowed down her back, as she turned 21. Gojyo gapped at the newly reformed woman.
"What?" She asked. Looking down she noticed the scroll was barely covered her private areas. "AH! You could have at least given me cloths." Running to another room she quickly changed. Coming out of the room she wore a black spandex shorts with a cream colored monk like robe shirt. It fit around her chest perfectly and loosely fit around her arms.
"Now that everything is settled I will be leaving, take good care of her." The goddess of mercy left them.
"Damn her! Always adding onto the pain of this mission." Sanzo grumbled, "Tch let's go now!"
"Yes, Sanzo." Goku blurted out following him. Exiting they building they noticed the village looked completely different.
"What happened?" Gojyo asked.
"Time finally caught up with this place, the scenes you just saw happened over 50 years ago. I was wondering why I'm not 50 instead of 21?"
"Well, I defiantly like you better this way." Gojyo smirked.
"Please reframe Gojyo she was just ten a few minutes ago."
And thus the story begins and time ticks forward as always…
