This is mainly dedicated to Upperclassmen for reviewing when no one else would and for actually encouraging to start writing on this again when I was ready to quit. This is also for all the Tsuki lovers just for loving him.
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 though!
Summary: Sanzo's secret has finally been revealed! Now that the boys all know Sanzo's a girl, emotions are going haywire! And with Sanzo's death closely approaching, what is she to do? And who are these strange gods that keep appearing? And who of the boys will win Sanzo's heart?
This a yet another chapter dedicate to Tsuki-chan!
Tsuki: chan? What's with the chan? I'm not a girl or a kid!
GWNL: Half the time you are. And since this is a story from when you were a kid, you are Tsuki-chan!
Tsuki: Eh? A story about kid me? That's never good for me!
GWNL: Oh, shut up! Anyway, this chapter is called 'Star Light Moon Bright', enjoy!
Long ago, in a time so far away that no one remembers what era it was, the moon hung in the dark night sky alone, being it's one and only light. It wasn't that powerful of light unfortunately, so the darkness usually surrounded it so even though the moon in itself was pretty, it always felt... drabbed. And the moon always felt so lonely, but unfortunately there was nothing it could do.
It was bright that day. The sun was shining and the wind was blowing gently through the leafs. Sleeping in a tree on that day was a young boy was fast asleep in a cherry blossom tree in a large garden. But this was no ordinary child. This child was a god, and the first child of both heaven and hell. And this child was called Tsuki Yomi god of the Moon, ruler of the night.
He was only 11 years old, however his power was not to be judged by his age, for even though he was only a child he was one of the most power gods in existence, holding both the power of heaven and hell.
On this particular day Tsuki was taking from his job when he heard arguing from beneath him.
"Please think about this rationally, Hoshi!" he heard one man beg in a desperate voice.
"How can I think rationally when Hikari is in danger?!" another man yelled. Tsuki looked down and saw a young boy with short red hair and blue eyes wearing a black bandana with a skull on it trying to reason with another boy with short blonde hair and dark grey eyes. Tsuki noted that the man with the bandana was a demon and the other was a human, a noble by the way he dressed. Tsuki was in ghost form so the two couldn't see him.
"I know, I know! How do you think I feel? But you're a prince! You can't just go rushing into things!" the demon tried to reason with the man, but to no avail it seemed.
"The hell I can't! She's in trouble because of me! You can't expect me just to abandon her!" the man yelled. Tsuki sighed as he laid back. It was just another human who wanted to save his girlfriend.
'What idiots.' he thought. Of course that what he thought about all humans, because he couldn't under it. Why were humans always risking their lives away for others? Didn't they realize how fragile they were? And how easy their lives were taken? If they realized this... then why were they always willing to risk everything? He closed his eyes, trying to go back to sleep, but the men below him were talking too loud.
"I don't! But I expect you to think about someone besides yourself! You are the next emperor to China! You can't just go rushing into a demon palace! That'll start a whole war and not only will people die, but the land will be destroyed! Do you want that?! As Prince of this country you have to think of the people before--"
"Shut up!! I never asked to be a prince! I just want to help the woman I love! Why are making it sound like a crime?!" Tsuki looked at the man called Hoshi with half lidded eyes. Okay, he didn't understand why humans were willing to throw everything away for this "love" thing, but he did understand how painful it is to choose between duty and the ones you care about. His eyes shadowed as he thought of his friends. He clenched his eyes shut. No, he couldn't call them that. He didn't deserve to call them his friends, not after what he did. He stood, then jumped down as he materialized himself.
"You know you two are loud." he said as he landed. Then he smiled at their surprised faces. "It must be a mortal thing."
"Who-who are you?!" the demon demanded as he pulled out a machine gun.
"Miwa, wait! He's only a child!" the man known as Hoshi said as he grabbed the gun. Then he turned to Tsuki and asked, "Who are you and why are you here?"
"More importantly, how?" the demon known as Miwa frowned. Tsuki smiled at them, a bit too cheerfully. Then he pointed at the sky.
"Me? It depends... Sometimes I am the moon that illuminates the night sky and cuts through the darkness. And sometimes... I am the Angel of death who comes in the dead of night to take your soul. But right now I am Tsuki, the answer to all your problems." he said, trying with all his might not to laugh at the faces of the two men before him. It was always so much fun playing with mortal's minds. Miwa blinked.
"... Say wha? Are you trying pull something here kid, because this isn't funny!" he snarled. Tsuki chuckled.
"Maybe not to you! But to me it hilarious! The look on your faces! Ha, ha, ha!" he said, finally bursting into laughter. The looks on their faces when he told them he was the angel of death, were priceless. He wondered what kind of faces they would make if he told them he was a god! Miwa twitched and his face turned redder than his hair. Usually, he wasn't easily angered, but this kid...
"Miwa... Are you alright?" Hoshi asked him.
"You stupid brat!! What the hell are you doing here?!" he yelled as he tried to kick Tsuki, who simply jumped over it.
"Like I said, I'm here to help you," he said as he landed on his hands and looked at Hoshi as he did a hand stand. "Look, I heard your dilemma when I was in that tree. Your girlfriend is in trouble and you want to go get here, but you can't or you risk causing an all out war. That's where I come in: I can go to where ever she is and rescue her for you. That simple." Hoshi blinked in surprise, then his eyes sadden.
"It's... nice that you want to help. But for one thing, the ones who took my beloved were demons, therefore it would be too dangerous..."
"My aunt always says that 'danger' is another word for fun, just higher risks."
"But you are just a child."
"That doesn't mean I can't fight, or do other things. In fact children are perfectly capable of doing anything adults can do. Some things we do better and some things we do worse, but that has nothing to do with this."
"This isn't your fight. It has nothing to do with you." Tsuki sighed. Okay, this was getting annoying.
"So what? I'm offering my help because I want to. I'm involving myself." he sighed. "Look, aren't you mortals always praying to the heavens asking for them to send someone to help you with whatever problems you have? Well, I'm someone here to help so let me help! What have you to lose if I go? The life of one little kid who you don't even know. If you go, you start a war, you die, your 'beloved' dies, and the poor reaper stuck taking your souls has to fill out paper work for a century. Now which do you choose?"
"But..."
"You know I'm getting tired of hearing that word." Tsuki scowled.
"Why?" Miwa asked, giving him a suspicious look.
"Well, for one thing it becomes a rather annoying after awhile. And plus if add another T it's the same as--"
"Not that!!" Miwa yelled. "Why would you help us? You don't even know us." Tsuki blinked.
"Aren't you mortals always doing the same thing for each other? Why do I need to know you to help you out? You need someone to get your girlfriend, and I want to pi my dad off. It's perfect!" he said.
"It's not! You could get seriously--"
"Wait a minute, Hoshi-sama," Miwa interrupted. "He could have a point."
"What?! What are you saying?!" Hoshi exclaimed as he whipped his head towards him.
"You said you didn't want me to go alone, and we don't want to alarm everyone by sending a guard or someone else, and you can't go or else a bunch of bad things will happen. I don't know anything about this kid, but he managed to sneak in here without being detected. Maybe there's more to him than we think." Miwa explained. "We're running out of options, Hoshi."
"But..."
"Then it's settled!" Tsuki interrupted, clapping his hands together. "Wa-kun and I will go rescue the princess while you keep your kingdom under control." Miwa twitched.
"Wa-kun?" he twitched. Tsuki ignored him and turned to Hoshi.
"No worries! I'll find yer girl and return her to you safe and sound! That's a promise." Hoshi looked taken aback, then he smiled, as if in defeat.
"All right. I suppose I have no choice. I leave it to you then, Tsuki-san." Tsuki grinned.
"Alright, then! Let's go!" Tsuki said as he started to run.
"Oy, hold up!" Miwa yelled as he dashed after him. Hoshi called after them.
"Ah! Tsuki-san!" Tsuki stopped and looked back at him. Hoshi smiled at him. "Please be careful." Tsuki blinked, then smiled back.
"Hai!" he said, then he started to run again, feeling a lot better for some reason.
/20 minutes later/
"Oi! Kid! Do you have any idea where you're going?" Miwa asked as they walked down a dirt path. Tsuki looked thoughtful for a moment with his hands folded behind his head.
"Uhhh... Nope. Not a clue." he said cheerfully. Miwa fell face forward.
"Why the hell are we walking this way then?!" he snarled. Tsuki laughed nervously as he rubbed the back of his head.
"I dunno. Just felt like it." Miwa fell yet again. "Also, I'm waiting for nightfall."
"Huh?"
"Nightfall. You know, when it's nice and dark and the only light is the moon? It'll be easier to sneak in and sneak out undetected under the cover of darkness. Also, I'm at my best at night, so there." Tsuki yawned. Miwa gave him a strange look.
"Hm... You sure know a lot for a kid." he said in a suspicious tone. "Just who are you, really?" Tsuki looked at him through the corner of his eye and sighed.
"I told you. I'm the moon." he told him. Miwa twitched.
"Cut the crap!"
"It's not crap! I don't lie, ever! I may leave out a few things, but I don't lie!" Tsuki snapped. Miwa 'ch'ed as he looked away.
"Ch. If that's true, then tell me this..." he said as he turned to look at him. "Why is it... that the moon suddenly decided to shine during the night, in a realm of complete and utter darkness?" Tsuki looked up at him, meeting his gaze.
"Because even though the nights are dark and cold... I wanted there to be some light. So that all may have even a little hope. But that's not all. I wanted to show that even darkness could have a little beauty no matter cold and cruel it might seem. That's why I rule the night. Add a little light... and even the darkest situation can become beautiful." Miwa blinked at him, then looked away, blushing a little.
"You... You're weird." he said. Tsuki sighed.
"You know that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. Which is really sad." he said with a small laugh. Then the sun set and the moon started to rise. Tsuki's eyes then sharpened in amusement.
"It's time." he grinned.
"Uhuh?" Suddenly Tsuki grabbed Miwa while summoning a broom. Tsuki jumped on the broom with a startled Miwa and pointed forward.
"Alright! On to save the princess!!" he yelled as he flew at full speed.
"Whaa?! WHOOAA!!" Suddenly Tsuki stopped.
"By the way, where are we going?" he blinked. Miwa sweat dropped. This was going to be a long night...
Hiya! Everyone! I decided to make another side story for Tsuki for all those who love him! Why? Because I'm nice!
Tsuki: and because you lost your book and can't write anything until you find it.
GWNL: Shut up! This is for you after all! Okay, it's kinda for your fans, but still!
Now review please! And thanks again Upperclassmen for reviewing when no one else would
