Okay, okay! I got the feeling some of you are on the edge of their seat waiting for the next chapter, so how can I say no?(6th sense!)
Tsuki: Oh, please! It's not like you have anything better to do!
GWNL: Don't you have someone else to bug?
Tsuki: I will when you start this thing.
Oh, and I know a lot of you think I'm going off one of the animes, but I'm going off the book! It's simpler that way. Just letting you know.
Disclaimer: Would I be writing this if I owned SaiYuki? No. Also if I did, I wouldn't be known as GirlWithNoLife, now would I? I do own Tsuki and a few others though.
Summery: What if Sanzo was actually a woman? How long will she able to keep it a secret? And how will the others react when they find out? Read what it would be like if Sanzo was actually a woman!
Pairing: Sanzo x Just about everyone
Note: This is just going to be the basic original story in the books, with a few minor changes.
This chapter is dedicate to Tsuki and his past. It's not going to be exactly like Gaiden SaiYuki but I don't know much about it, so there!

Amaterasu gave a irritable sigh as she walked through heaven. After she burned Tsuki to a crisp, she decided to wonder through heaven. As she walked through the halls of Heaven she heard others whispering.
"Wow, look at her. She's so lovely."
"Well, what do you expect? She's the goddess of the sun!"
"There's no doubt. She'll defiantly become the next Creator."
Amaterasu could only smile in disgust to herself.
'This place sickens me.' she thought. 'They make sound as if this place really is a paradise. Am I the only one who can see this place for what it really is? No. Aunt Kanzeon, Cousin Kozen, Tenpou, Kenren, Tsuki Yomi... They see it as well. This place is full of hypocrisy. Aunt Kanzeon and Tsuki Yomi laughs at it, and Kozen ignores it. Like me. I would leave this place behind forever if the choice was left to me. But no... I must stay and pretend everything is perfect if I am to ever win father's love.' she looked at her hands. 'What is wrong with me? Why can't father love me? I don't understand. Everyone says I'm smart and beautiful. And I'm powerful. So why can't he love me? I can be anything he wants...' she thought as she hugged herself. 'So why?' She found herself in her office. Her aura was strangely dark as she looked at it.
She entered and sat down behind her desk.
God she hated this office. But she had to work. She had to work hard so her father would notice her. And then he would love her. Right? She threw down her pen. She couldn't work like this. She stood and her chair slid back. She left her office and went to her weaving room. She loved weaving. Weaving was the only thing she did because she wanted to. Weaving was hers, and her's alone of her family.
Right now she had needed some calming.
"Lady Amaterasu! Welcome!" greeted the weavers. Amaterasu smiled warmly at them.
"Hello, everyone." she said. "How goes the weavering?"
"Great, now that you're here my lady." said one of the weavers. The weavers were her only real friends. "We're almost complete and we feel that since you started this lovely pattern, you should finish it." Amaterasu smiled at their work. It was a beautiful silk portrait with designs of both the sun and moon together, and a heard of horses running in a field of gold. Out of all the horses one stood out among them. It was a pure white stallion, name Yasu. A stallion that Amaterasu had found as a child and raised on her own. She really loved him.
"Alright." she said as she sat in front of a weaver. Just then a royal servant came in.
"My Lady, your father would like to see you." he said. Amaterasu stared at him.
"What?" she breathed.
//Later//
"I have decided to put this feud to a end." The creator said to Amaterasu and Susanowa one day. Susanowa looked just like Tsuki except he had pure white hair and red eyes. "You will each create humans. With souls and full life spans. Whoever makes the most will be my new heir. Now, show me."
Both, not wasting anytime, grabbed each other's items. Amaterasu grabbed Susanowa's sword while he grabbed her necklace.
Amaterasu chanted a spell, and Susanowa's sword and it turned into three men. She smirked proudly. It was very difficult to create full souls with full life spans right on the spot, and she had made 3!
Susanowa just smiled confidently. He held up Amatsu's necklace and chanted. Suddenly it turned into five men. He smirked in victory.
Amaterasu's eyes widen. No... After all the work she went through? After all the pain she had suffered? After all these years her father was going turn his gaze away from her forever!
"Well. It seem that Susanowa is--" the creator started.
"Wait! He used my necklace to make them! Therefore those men are mine!" Amaterasu interrupted.
"What?!" exclaimed Susanowa angrily.
"It was my necklace. It focuses my powers. So when you used it to make your men, you used my power, therefore they belong to me!"
"This an outrage!" exclaimed Susanowa.
"None the less, she is right. Amaterasu is now my heir." said the creator.
"What?!"
"I have spoken. Now both of you, go." Amaterasu smirked evilly as they left the throne room.
//Meanwhile//
Uzume was looking for Homura that day, but she couldn't seem to find him.
"Where is he?" she wondered aloud sadly. As she walked she suddenly heard some people talking.
"Hey, did you hear about that filthy half breed freak?"
"You mean Homura? What a disgrace!"
"Why do they allow such things to live?"
"If it were my choice he would be dead long ago." Uzume couldn't take it anymore.
"Shut up!" she yelled. "Just shut up! What do you know?! Homura's nice! And he's better than all of you! How can you say such mean things about him?! You don't even know him! So don't you dare judge him!"
"How dare you speak like that to us you piece of filth!" one of the men who were talking yelled.
"We'll teach you to show us respect!" another yelled.
"Well, well. What do we have here I wonder." said a voice.
"M-Marshal Tenpou!" the men exclaimed. "We- We were just going to teach this girl not to speak out of place."
"Oh, really?" said Tenpou pleasantly. "It looks to me as if you were about to beat this girl, who happens to be my friend."
"Uh, uhu... Well..."
"You may leave now. At least until you can remember how to talk." said Tenpou. The other men scurried away.
"Thanks Ten-chan! I didn't want to of had to break my nails before I saw Homura!" said Uzume.
"It was no trouble. Now why are you all the way here in the military section?" Tenpou asked as she walked over to him.
"I'm looking for my friend! Homura! Have you seen him?" she asked. Tenpou looked a little sad.
"Haven't you heard? Homura... Homura has been placed in confinement. No one is allowed to see him. No one." he said sadly.
"What?" Uzume breathed. She began to cry. "No... No! He promised he would stay with me forever! He said he wouldn't leave me alone! He promised! Homura! Houmra! HOMURA!!" she cried loudly, tears falling heavily down her face. Tenpou hugged her, feeling pity for the young dancer.
"Homura..." she cried pathetically.
//Meanwhile//
Amaterasu let out a sad, guilty sigh as she wove in her weaving room. She felt so miserable. Right now she had needed some calming. It was true she had finally gotten her father's proud attention, but she had done it out of trickery and deceit. That was something everyone would have expected from Tsuki- Yomi, the half god, half devil, the God of the Night. Not her, the Goddess of the Day, the Goddess of the Sun. She let out a moan. She knew what she did was wrong.
Suddenly the door was thrown open and there stood Susanowa, covered in blood holding a dead animal.
"Well, sister... You may be father's heir, but I am still more powerful and you know it!" he hissed as he threw the dead animal at her. She caught it and gasped.
It was her holy horse, Yasu. The one she had raise and cared for her entire life. Her only true friend.
"Y...Yasu..." she breathed, tears heavy on her eye lids as she stroked the horse's white mane. Then Susanowa destroyed the weaving ben.
"I hope you weren't to fond of those other weaver women, cus they're dead now." he said as he destroyed some of the fabric. Amaterasu stood.
"They had nothing to do with this! This is between you and me! Why did you kill them?! Why?!" she demanded.
"Duh. Revenge. I wanted father's power. You knew it... And you took it from me. So now... I'm going to take everything from you!" he yelled as he pulled out his sword. Amaterasu screamed as his blade slashed across her chest.
"Brother! That's enough!" Tsuki yelled as he jumped between them. He was playing with Kozen, by stealing his papers and hiding, when he heard his sister scream. He clenched his teeth as Susanowa's sword cut into his arms, almost cutting through them.
"...Out of the way, Yomi." Susanowa growled in dangerous tone.
"No! It was one thing to kill the servants and the horse, but if you kill Amaterasu then you will be caught and punished dearly. And remember... Killing a god in heaven automatically sends you to Maten. And then you go to Amatsu, who happens to like Amaterasu very much. He's not the god of Evil for nothing, you know." Tsuki- Yomi growled in the same tone. "Look at her! You've already won for now." Susanowa was silent, then he sheathed his sword and left without saying a word.
Tsuki let out a sigh of relief then bent down in front of his sister.
"Sis? Ama-chan? Hey... You alright?" She just continue to whimper. Her body and mind finally broke down. Tsuki hugged her. "Sis..."
//Later//
"Let me get this straight..." said Kozen as she bandaged Tsuki up hours later. "You were looking for some cigarettes for Tenpou when you saw a cat up a tree and you decided to help it, but it slashed your arms and you fell out of the tree?"
"Heh, heh. Yup!" said a battered Tsuki. He had a few leafs in his hair. He really did try to get a cat out of a tree! And he really was looking for some cigarettes for Tenpou, since he said he'd gt some.
"Okaay, and what happened before that?" Kozen asked.
"Uhh... Nothing?" said Tsuki with a sweat drop. Kozen grabbed Tsuki's ear and pulled it. "Ow! Ow! OW!! Okay, okay! Susanowa went insane and attacked Ama-chan, so I stepped in! Leggo! Leggo!!" he begged.
"What? Susanowa attacked Amaterasu?" asked Kozen as she released Tsuki.
"Yeah. Father decided to make her his successor. And you know my brother. He wanted the power, but he didn't get it so he went on a rampage." replied Tsuki as he rubbed his ear.
"Are you wounded?"
"Yeah! You just yanked my ear!"
"Tsuki..." growled Kozen.
"Oh, it's just a scratch. I'm more worried about Amaterasu. Susanowa hurt both physically and mentally. Right now she's holed up in her room, not even moving." said Tsuki. He looked so sad. "I just wish there was something I could do." Kozen pulled her lover close and held him tightly.
//Meanwhile//
After Tenpou met Uzume, he took her to his room where he rested her on his bed. Uzume had cried herself into exhaustion, and she fainted in Tenpou's arms.
Tenpou brushed Uzume's bangs.
'Poor Uzume.' he thought. He couldn't get over how sad she had looked. He never thought a anyone could cry so much. But he felt he could understand her pain a little. If he could never see Kozen again, he would never be able to smile again.
Suddenly Kenren burst into the room.
"Hey, Tenpou! Did you hear? Susanowa just--" he started. Tenpou shushed him.
"She's asleep." he said as he pointed at Uzume.
"Eh? Uzume?" whispered Kenren. "What happened to her?"
"She cried herself into exhaustion when she heard about Homura."
"Oh." said Kenren as he walked over. "Poor kid. She's had it rough. You know I hear her father abandoned her and left her to die. Kannon took her in, but now she's just a dancer, a source of entertainment. No one wanted to be around her so she was always alone, watching everyone else but still smiling no matter what."
"I see. No wonder she was so sad when she heard she couldn't see Homura." said Tenpou. "The only one... whoever excepted her into his life."
"Oh, yeah!" said Kenren suddenly. "Susanowa attacked Amaterasu! He destroyed her weaving room and everything!"
"What?! Why was I not told of this sooner?!" exclaimed Tenpou as he stood.
"You kept disappearing! We couldn't find you." said Kenren.
"Well, then. I better get down to the office." said Tenpou as he stood. They both left the room and started to walk down the hall.
"How's Amaterasu?" asked Tenpou in a normal voice.
"I don't know. I haven't seen her. Tsuki says she's still in shock. Kozen's bandaging him up now." answered Kenren.
"Ah! How appropriate!" said Tenpou with a laugh.
"Yeah. Kozen can deny all he wants. But those two are lovers! End of story." said Kenren. "But aren't they suppose to be cousins?"
"Ah... They are kissin' cousins?" said Tenpou with a laugh and a sweat drop. Even though they were both in love with Kozen, they could see she loved Tsuki Yomi very much and as long as she was happy, they were happy being her friends.
Just then a servant girl ran up to them.
"It's horrible! Just horrible! My lady, Amaterasu is gone!" she cried.
"WHAT?!" they both exclaimed.
All the solders Tenkai could spare was sent out to find Amaterasu. Finally, hours later, they found her in a deep dark cave, laying on the stone cold floor, her hair, that was usually in a neat bun, was sprawled all around her as she cried. Her hands covered her face and she was curled up into a little ball.
"Sis..." said Tsuki tiredly and relieved as he walked towards his sister. "What are you doing here? C'mon... Let's go home."
"No... No! He will find me there!" Amaterasu cried.
"'He'? He who?"
"Susanowa! He will find me there! He has already taken everything I care about! No, I just want to die! Let me die!" she cried.
"You can't mean that..." Tsuki said as he reached a hand towards his sister.
"Shut up!!" she yelled as she smacked it away. "I hate you! I've always hated you! Don't speak to me anymore you... You devil!" Tsuki didn't say anything. He just stepped back and turned.
"Let's go." he said to Kenren, who was outside the cave, as he walked past him.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"If she wants to wallow in self pity, then fine. Let her. I don't care anymore." Tsuki said shortly.
"You don't mean that."
"Why wouldn't I? We were competing against each other all our lives and she won. And if she's going to cry over this, then why should I care?"
"Because she's your sister." said Kenren. Tsuki stopped. He was quiet for a moment then he said,
"Half- sister. Besides... I'm a devil. I don't save people, I destroy them."
"Now that I know isn't true." said Kenren. Tsuki didn't reply.
The next few weeks were horrible for everyone, especially for Kozen and Tsuki. Since Amaterasu had locked herself in the cave, the sun hadn't risen at all, so it was always night, and lately evil forces have been using this chance to rise and cause trouble, so Tsuki- Yomi was busy trying to keep them at bay since most of them were forces of Amatsu, so only he could battle them. Kozen had more paper work to do and she was constantly worrying about Tsuki since he was fighting alone, and Kenren and Tenpou were frustrated about not being able to do anything, and Tenpou was busy trying to take care of Uzume. He did everything he could for her, but she was so depressed about losing her first friend that all she did was sit in a corner and play jacks by herself. She appreciated his efforts, but Uzume didn't want to get close to him only to have him leave her alone like Homura.
Without the sun crops died and people began to become afraid, and some even began to kill themself while others became murders, and bandits. The world was in chaos.
Kozen stared out the window impatiently.
"Ne, Kozen? Are you worried about Tsuki?" asked Goku as he looked up at his guardian.
"Absolutely not." replied Kozen shortly. "He can take of him self. He is the God of the Night. Besides, he's too goddamned stubborn to die."
"Then why are you always staring out the window?" asked Goku.
"She's looking for birds." a voice said weakly from the door way. They both turned and saw Tsuki leaning against it, all beat up, blood pouring from his many wounds.
"Tsuki!!" Goku and Kozen exclaimed as they ran over to him as he fell. He looked up at Kozen.
"Heh... Sorry, but I won't be able to fly today... So looking out the window is kinda pointless..." he mumbled.
"Goku, go get Tenpou. Now!" Kozen ordered Goku.
"Okay!" said Goku as he ran off. Kozen dragged Tsuki to her chair and began to clean his wounds.
"Don't move too much. You're beat up pretty bad." she told him, there was a small edge of worry in her voice.
"What? Worried? I'm fine! Just tired. Man... Did I ever mention how much I hate Amatsu? Man! I never knew that the sun was so important! 4 months! 4 months straight I've been fightin'! I thought fightin' was the holy army's business." Tsuki complained.
"Ah! But we can't fight the forces of hell. We don't have devil blood." said Tenpou suddenly as he entered the room with bandages.
"Yeah, yeah. I know, I know. Funny though. The tainted one is one who saves everyone." said Tsuki curtly.
"Say that again, and no 'big boy games' for a month." threatened Kozen. She hated it when Tsuki called himself 'tainted'.
"Not fair! Yeouch!" cried Tsuki as Tenpou began to clean his wounds. "You did that on purpose!" Tenpou laughed.
"At least you're still the same." he said.
"Dude. Why do you look so tired?" asked Tsuki.
"Ah!... I've been trying to care for Uzume." Tenpou said his face falling a bit.
"Uzume? The Dancer? Geez. No wonder you're tired. I hear she's a handful." said Tsuki.
"No, not really. She barely moves at all really. She just sits in a corner playing jacks by herself. She barely eats, or sleeps. Goku's with her right now in my library."
"...Ah man!" sighed Tsuki as he put a hand to his head. "She's actually depressed? No wonder hell's freezing over." exclaimed Tsuki.
"You know her?"
"A bit. She's Auntie's favorite dancer. She's amazing! It's like... she's something else when she dances. I never thought she could get depressed." said Tsuki. He forced himself to stand just as Tenpou finished bandaging him. "I'm goin' to report to Auntie, then head out again."
"What?! But you just got back!" exclaimed Kozen, she wasn't even trying to keep the worry out of her voice.
"Sorry, love... But I can't rest until the sun's back. So I gotta keep fighting." said Tsuki as he limped towards the door way. Then he grinned back. "No worries! I'll be back! Promise!" Then he left, leaving his still worried cousin behind, who was squeezing her arm so tightly they began to bruise.
//Meanwhile//
Goku had been trying to cheer Uzume up, but she just bounced her little ball. Uzume wasn't smiling at all. She just looked really sad. It was painful for Goku to see her this way.
"Uzume... Why do you always sit here alone? Why don't you play with me? Do you hate me?" Goku asked.
"No..." said Uzume quietly. "I like you a lot. That's why I can't play with you. Because you'll leave... and I'll be alone again. It's better to be alone now then be left again."
"But I won't leave! I'll be here forever! Just give me a chance!" Goku begged. Suddenly someone put a hand on his shoulder. It was Tsuki.
"Hey, Goku. Why don't you go play with Kenren. I'm sure he's as bored as heck!" he said with a wide grin. Goku stared up at him, then nodded.
"Okay." He ran out of the library leaving Tsuki and Uzume alone. Tsuki sat in front of Uzume crossed legged and grabbed her ball and started to play jacks by himself.
"You know when they took Homura away... He struggled and fought furiously. He didn't want to be taken away. He wanted to stay with you." he told her as he played. "Uzume... He wanted to be with you with all his heart. But he couldn't fight them alone, because he's only one man. Now he's trapped in his darkness again because he can't see his sun. Because he can't see you." He held up one of the jacks in his fingers as he looked her in the eyes. "That's why... You need to be strong. You need... to stand up and find him again... And bring him back to the world of the light as his sun... That's your job. To knock some sense into him and bring him back. So don't give up. There are still people out there somewhere, who want to know you if you let them."
"But... What if they leave?" asked Uzume.
"Isn't better to know someone for awhile, then to be alone forever?" Tsuki asked. "People leave, yes. But that's when you have to run to keep up with them and fight! And once you find that special person who you never want to leave, grab on to 'em and never let go no matter what! That's what I'm doing. I found someone I wanted to be with forever, and now I'm clinging to her and never letting go. What about you, Uzume? Are you going to let go that easily?" Uzume smiled cheerfully.
"Nope! I'm gonna cling to the people I love until I die!" she cheered.
"Good for you! Now I have to go report to Auntie." Tsuki sighed as he stood. "Now go find Tenpou. He's been worried about you."
"Really? I didn't mean to worry him!"
"Well, you did. So go tell 'im you're sorry." said Tsuki as he ruffled her hair.
"Okay!" she said as she ran off. Tsuki smiled after her as she left with a sigh.
'Now if only I could get Amaterasu out of her depression.' he thought as he walked down the halls.
//Meanwhile//
"Great Kannon, aren't you going to do anything?" Jiroushin asked.
"Now why would I do that? Things have just gotten fun." said Kanzeon as she read her paper.
"But things are getting out of hand! Tsuki- Yomi can't fight them alone forever! You must do something!" begged Jiroushin.
"Like what? I can't fight the forces of hell. The Divine Laws forbid it. And I can't force Amaterasu to come out. She must come out of her own free will. But at this rate... She may never come out." said the Kanzeon as he set her paper down.
"And yet you seem strangely calm." said Jiroushin.
"That's because... I see one small, tiny thing that everyone seems to over look."
"Oh?"
"Yes... A little dancer who's destiny is starting to unfold as we speak." she said, smiling.
//Later//
//With Kozen//
Kozen stood in front of the cave Amaterasu had locked herself in. She took a deep breath... And entered. She went to the back of the cave and gasped at what he saw. Lying there looking half dead, was Amaterasu. Her hair had lost it's shine and she looked so thin and fragile. Wine bottles were scattered everywhere.
"...What do you want?" she asked. Kozen straightened up.
"What are you doing here? Do you think hiding here like a coward will help anything? One bad thing happened and you go into break down? That's not like you." she said.
"Oh...? Then what, pray tell is like me? No... This is exactly like me. I have the face of angel, but the heart and soul of a devil. I tricked people... I used them, I crushed them... I hurt them. Even the ones who loved me. I led them all to their doom. Just like you." she said with a hollow laugh.
"You're wallowing in self pity. Without you, there is no sun. Without the sun's powerful rays, Amatsu's forces is marching all over the world destroying everything! People are dying! They need you!" Kozen yelled. She clenched her fists. "Tsuki... Is fighting all alone. But he can't fight forever. He's already starting to weaken. Don't you care?"
"...No. He took something important to me, so he can fight until he dies." she said coldly. Kozen threw one of the empty wine bottles at the wall.
"Are you that selfish?! You're going to let everyone die and suffer just because you're scared?! Well fine! But I won't let him die because of your selfishness!" Then she stomped out of the cave, hugging herself.
He looked up at the moon.
'Tsuki...'
A few weeks later the other god had had enough. They were going to get Amaterasu out of that cave no matter what.
"How should we do it?" one god asked.
"We could drag her out by force." suggested one.
"She would blast us before we could touch her."
"True, very true." the other gods agreed, who all looked disturbingly alike.
"We could lure her out." suggested another.
"With what?"
"Wine?"
"That would never work!"
"True, true." said the other gods.
"It worked on Kenren."
"True, true. Very true."
"But Amaterasu is way smarter than General Kenren."
"Also true. Also true. Very true." agreed the other gods.
"Hey! Hey! HEY! You know I'm standing right here!" Kenren yelled angrily. Tenpou laughed.
"Well, it is true, Kenren. We did manage to lure you out one time with wine." he said.
"How about we tear down the mountain? That way she would have to come out." suggested another.
"True, very true." said the other gods. Kenren twitched.
"You're kidding me." he said. "You can't tear down that frickin' mountain! It's magic!"
"Also true. Very true."
"Can't you say anything else?!"
"Yes, yes." the other gods said. Kenren sulked with a sweat drop.
"Ugh..."
The Kanzeon watched them all with amusement when suddenly something tugged her arm.
"Hm?" she said as she turned her head. It was Uzume.
"Kannon! I have an idea." she said.
"Oh?" the Kanzeon said. Meanwhile in the back ground the other gods were still yelling at one another. "SHUT UP!!" she yelled.
//Later//
"Hey... Are we sure this will work?" Kenren asked as he set up a giant bronze mirror.
"Well, it's the best idea we've had so far today, so we might as well try." said Tenpou as he helped.
"Is the mirror set up?" Uzume asked as she ran over to them. She was wearing what looked like Chinese dancing festival robes that was decorated in autumn colors like orange, brown, white, maroon pink, and a green hat.
"Yes, we are ready when you are." said Tenpou.
"Okay! I'll do my best!" she said. Then she ran towards a large bathing tub and turned it over.
"What's she doin'?" asked Goku.
"I don't know. I just hope she knows what she's doing." said Kenren. Kozen didn't say anything. She just looked up at the moon.
'So do I.' she thought. Tenpou saw this and put a hand on her shoulder.
"He'll be fine. Don't worry." he assured her. Kozen truly hoped he was right.
Uzume turned the tub over and got on top of it. She took a breath and began to dance. At first everyone stared at her in awe. For a moment she didn't look like a child, but a goddess. A powerful goddess. The dance steps were enchanting and calmness a piece filled the air. Then she picked up the steps and began to dance faster, making her look a little silly. The other gods couldn't help but laugh as happiness began to fill in them. Suddenly Goku jumped up on the tub with Uzume and began to dance with her, making the other gods laugh even more.
Amaterasu heard all the gods laughing from outside the cave and began to wonder what was happening.
'Ch. It's probably nothing...' she thought to herself. But the laughing continued and finally curiosity got the best of her and she started to stagger towards the opening of the cave. When she got to the edge she saw something very shiny, but she couldn't make out what it was. She stepped closer and saw it was a mirror. She gasped. She was her reflection... but it was of the old her. Of her before she started to break under the pressure of her work, before she had lost the will to care.
Amaterasu walked toward the mirror shakily. She was so beautiful... What happened? How did she become the way she was now? So broken?
When she was fully out of the cave Tenpou suddenly grabbed her from behind and Kenren along with some solders sealed off the cave with a giant bolder so she couldn't get back in.
"Amaterasu! Welcome back! We're sorry to have resorted to this, but we really need you out here." said Tenpou. Amaterasu didn't respond. She just stared at her refection.
"...What happened to me, Tenpou? How did I become so... So broken?" she asked. Tenpou's eyes sadden.
"You were always trying so hard... Always pushing yourself for something you never seemed to be able to gain. You pushed yourself... Until you couldn't push yourself anymore." he said.
"So that's it?" said Amaterasu quietly. "I became the way I am because I wasn't loved?"
"I don't think so, Miss..." said a cheerful voice. Amaterasu turned and saw Uzume looking at her. "I don't think... Your feeling would have been so intense if that were it. I think... I think that the reason... Was because you were just looking for someone to love." she said. Amaterasu stared at the child as the wind blew through her hair.
That... was the beginning... of the End. And... A new beginning.

Hi! This was my version of the tale of Amaterasu and Uzume. This last two stories have been mostly about my Ocs, but they're very important, so you needed to know this stuff.
Some of you may have noticed that I got rid of Rinrei(no offence to her, she just didn't fit in with the story.).
But jeez. I'm starting to feel a little sorry for Tsuki. Oh, well. I'm sure the feeling will pass.
