Disclaimer: I don't own Saiyuki, Kazuya Minekura does. But I do own Kumiko-chan.
Note: they might be a bit OOC cuz some people said so.. ehehe... well, Sanzo's my fav so he's gonna be the way I like.
to Fuuei-chan : this fic might be a bit same like what you're thinking of writing but I guess I'm just writing what I wanted to write a long time ago.
Under the Stars...
"Oh?" said Gojyo, "Well, I'm Sha Gojyo, a guy that doesn't mind playing in bed."
"I'm Son Goku! And that's Genjo Sanzo over there!" pointed Goku to Sanzo smiling happily.
"I'm Hakkai. Cho Hakkai. And this is Hakuryu," Hakkai brushed Hakuryu gently with his palms, "Kyuu~~~"
Kumiko just smiled to see everyone. "Umm, I think I need to change," Kumiko picks up a pile of clothing from the ground that's right next to her. "Can you guys turn around for a second?"
"Alright then. Gojyo, don't even think about it," Hakkai pulled Gojyo away from the area. "But-- But--" Gojyo tried to get free. "Turn around you idiotic kappa," Goku assisted Hakkai. "Ch.. you don't even understand about these things, baka saru," said Gojyo after giving up.
"And you?" asked Kumiko as she looks at the blonde Sanzo. "Just change. I won't look." replied Sanzo as he turns the page of his newspaper.
"All right then. At least I can trust you monks not to look." Kumiko turns around and untied the blanket and unbuttoned the green shirt. As the fabrics falls down to the ground Sanzo took a small peek... "Kyuu~~~!!!" sounded the two small dragons as they glide in front of Sanzo to block his view.
"Sanzo!" Kumiko raised her voice slightly. "What?!" said Sanzo as he hides his red face by looking away. "Hakuryu, Haryu, it's ok, I'm decent now," Kumiko folded the blanket and the green Chinese-style shirt. Kumiko stood up with her light red Chinese fuku.
"Are you done yet?" called Goku from the bushes. "Yup! Hey, are you guys hungry? I know I am," replied Kumiko. "Me! Me!" shouted Goku. "Come to think of it... we haven't eaten anything for 2 days now," said Hakkai. "Oh, thanks" Kumiko handed the shirt to Hakkai. "How did you know that it's mine?" asked Hakkai. "Just a guess" smiled Kumiko as she makes her way to her bag-pack.
"You got any beer in there?" asked Gojyo as he takes a look at Kumiko's bag. Kumiko Digs up a few things from her bag, "No, because I don't drink. Hmm... I think there's enough food for the 7 of us, right, Haryu?"
"Kyuu~~!!" voiced Haryu as she glides on top of Kumiko's shoulder. "Yay! Food! Food!!" Goku jumped around. *WHACK!* a huge white fan whacks Goku's head. "Urusei! Baka saru!" shouted Sanzo. "Haha... it seems Sanzo-sama here is quite short tempered." said Kumiko as she gets the frying pan ready.
"Hmmm... what are we going to eat... Oh yeah! I remember that there's a lake near by, right Haryu?" Kumiko stood up holding Haryu in her arms. "Kyuu~~~!!!" Haryu flies off towards the lake. "Oi, wait up. I can't just let a girl wander around alone in the forest. I'll go with you," said Gojyo running after Kumiko and Haryu.
The soft light of the stars reflected on the shallow water of the wide lake. "Here we are," said Kumiko holding a basket. "Kyuu!!!" Haryu swooshed above the waters in search of fishes. Kumiko sat down near the waters and gazed at the reflection of Gojyo's scarlet eyes and hair.
"Red hair and red eyes, a taboo child," whispered Kumiko softly. Gojyo just froze for a second there and chuckled a bit. "I bet a lot of people got scared of you, ne Gojyo?" Kumiko smiled softly at Gojyo. "Yeah, but I think I'm used to it..." replied the man.
"You know what?" Kumiko sounded. "What?" Asked Gojyo. "I'm... part demon too..." Kumiko said softly as she gazed at the reflection of the stars. Gojyo just stood there stunned at what the red-eyed girl just said.
"Mother was a half demon... and dad is human," continued the girl, "So, I guess... that's how I got these red eyes... I don't even know if I'm a taboo child or not..." a tear ran down her cheek as the memories of her past ran through her mind.
Stop it...
I'm not a taboo child...
Mom... Dad...
why did you have to go away?
It's not my fault... I didn't do anything to deserve this...
Why do people hate me so much... I didn't do anything...
Stop it...
"It's not your fault," said Gojyo. Kumiko looked up at the tall man. "I know how it felt... everyone hated you when you did nothing wrong. But look at you now.. you're still alive aren't you?" Gojyo looked up at the stars. Kumiko also looked up "Yea... no use for me to cry about it now..."
Gojyo wiped the tears of Kumiko's face with his fingers gently. "I hate it... when beautiful women cry..." whispered Gojyo. Kumiko just drew a small smile on her lips.
*plop* a fish landed on Gojyo's head. "Kyuu~~~!!" sounded Haryu. "Ahaha... Haryu is really protective of me," Kumiko took the fish and threw it in the basket. "That's one down and six to go! Come on Haryu!" Kumiko cheered for her off-white dragon.
"I'll help too!" Goku suddenly appeared behind Kumiko. "Whoa! Goku! Where did you come from?!" Kumiko almost got a heart attack. "Ehehe... Since you were taking so long, so I decided to help!" Goku went to the waters and started to splash around.
"Oi, Baka Saru! You're not going to have all the fun!!" Gojyo jumped in the water and splashed at Goku. "Hey! you're not thinking of having fun by yourselves are you?! ahaha!!" Kumiko jumped in and gave a big splash at Gojyo and Goku. They all played around in the water and all of them was drenched under the stars.
"Would you look at that... it seems that Gojyo and Goku found a new friend, Sanzo" Hakkai stood behind the trees observing the three kids playing around. "Hmph..." Sanzo just stood there watching Kumiko dance in the water.

hmm.... my chapters are really short cuz I think you people don't really like to read so much in just one page.. so I guess I'll just write short chapters for my Saiyuki fic.
