This is my first real fanfic. I know it's probably not really good,
but please gave me a review on what you think about it. I got the idea when
my friends motivated me to write since we all love Saiyuki so much and I'm
the writer in the group. Well, hope ya enjoy.
We'll meet all the characters in the next chapter, I think...
One thing I just noticed, the story focuses too much on the girls instead of the real Saiyuki characters. I'll make that change, but it's only going to happen after chapter 12 or 13, so please bear it with me. Sorry...

Chapter One
"So what do you guys want to watch now?" Yohina asked when they had finished two movies already. She started fumbling through her collection of movies. Her friends and she had seen most of it already. It was dark already and they were getting ready to go to sleep. Her parents had already came back and slept and left them alone. Yet, all of them were still wide awake thought it was 12:30 already and they still have to get up before the others arrive for the birthday party tomorrow morning. Then Takeya was beside Yohina and started looking at the Saiyuki collection.
"I want to watch Saiyuki again." Takeya said with a childish smile. Saiyuki was an anime serie that Yohina had started to collect when she was fourteen. Just last year, she had bought the last one for the complete collection. She could say that Saiyuki was her favorite anime of all times. It was cool and funny even though the drawings weren't that good.
All the others groaned with unhappiness and so did Yohina at Takeya idea. As much as I liked the anime, I had watched it over and over again at least 10 times already and it was getting kind of boring.
"Come on. It's fun to watch! Besides, we don't have any other choices than this. Saiyuki is better and funnier than all the other movies!" Takeya encouraged them when she saw the unhappy look on their faces.
Yohina sighed. "Fine! Let's watch it from the beginning then since some of you hadn't seen it yet." She said as she put the disc into the DVD player and looked at Hikki, Shelly, and Satsuki.
As the movie started, Yohina rushed into her room and pulled a small box out of her drawer. She then entered the living room with a proud smile. "What are you so happy about?" Hikki asked suspiciously when she saw the smile on Yohina's face.
"Remember that purple triangular necklace that Nuriko gave me last year at my birthday? She told me that it was one of a valuable collection that had been out of the market since we were born." Yohina reminded everyone as she held the box in her hand. The box was decorated with designs that none of them could read. It looked like some ancient description from some country. However, the box was glowing with golden light in the darkness and Yohina's eyes narrowed at the light.
"Yeah? So what? And why do you look so worried and curious all of the sudden?" Hikki asked as she looked at Yohina. Now all the other girls had sat down in a circle beside Yohina and the box was in the middle of the nine girls.
"It...it's just that it never glowed in the dark before." Yohina said as she ran her hand over the golden box.
"Open it! Let us see it!" Shelly said with curiosity as they all looked at the glowing box and the others nodded with agreement.
"Fine! Don't be so impatient." Yohina said as she pulled out a golden key from her pocket and opened the lock on the box.
Slowly and carefully, Yohina opened it. When the box was opened, it glowed with white light. The light first illuminated the dark room and blinded the girls. When the light finally receded, the girls saw that inside the box were four necklaces with a triangle hanging in the middle of each necklace. The triangles on the necklaces were in place to form a star in the middle of the box. Each of the triangles was like a point of the star. The triangles were of different colors: light gray, light green, sky blue, and light pink. However, the top point of the star was missing so everyone assumed that the necklace Yohina had must be that one at the top. Also, the middle of the star was missing. It was a pentagon made out of foam rather than something special like the girls had hoped for.
"They look cool!" Machi picked the blue one out of the box and examined it.
All the others looked at her with a weird look. "What?" Machi asked. "Nothing." I just thought that you don't like jewelries." Nuriko said thoughtfully and the others nodded to agree.
"I don't, but they really do look cool for some reason!" Machi said grumpily as she put the necklace back into the box where it was.
"What's so cool about a necklace with a triangle? I would prefer a heart shaped decoration much better!" Takeya said carelessly with her arms folded. Hikki agreed with her instantly.
"Then I guess you won't get one of it!" Yohina snorted at Takeya and Hikki's carelessly ways.
"What do you mean by that?" Hikki asked annoyingly. She was the kind of person that hated being put in the darkness when everybody else knew about what was going on all the time.
"Well, I thought that since we are all best friends with each other since three years ago, maybe we you guys should get one of those too as a friendship symbol that was shared by all of us. The problem is that I only have four here and there are eight of you." Yohina said sadly with a sigh as she looked down into the box.
"I want one!" "I want one!" "I want one too!" Right after Yohina's explanation, everybody started shouting that they wanted one except for Shelly and Vessica since they were not very comparative people.
Yohina smiled at everybody's enthusiasm. "I thought of an idea. It won't be that fair, but it'll have to do." Yohina said that once she made everybody calmed down.
"What is it? Hurry up and tell us!" Machi asked as she stared at the necklace with the sky blue triangle with thirst. It seemed that someone already has her target.
"You guys will have to grab for it. Whoever gets it first will get a necklace." Yohina explained as she looked at everyone. No one objected. "I'll count to three and when I say go, just grab for the necklace that you wanted. Don't worry! I'll have something else for those who won't get one. Also, no cheating, remember?" Yohina added the last sentence as she looked over to where Machi was sitting. Machi pulled back her hand and smiled nervously and with innocence at Yohina.
"Now, one...two...three..." Yohina paused for about three seconds before she said the last word. "GO!" She shouted and looked at her friends who were trying to get the necklaces. Machi got the sky blue one just like she wished since she was the most vicious one in the group. Nuriko got the light green one that was reflecting the light from the TV. Then, Sakura got the light pink one. Yohina was quite surprised by that since Sakura never seemed to be able to beat the others at those physical activities.
When Yohina looked again, there was one more necklace in the box still. She picked it up and 2looked at it. It was the necklace with the light gray triangle. "Don't any of you want this?" She asked as she held it out. It looked the same with all the other ones except the triangle was gray. She couldn't believe that her friends were being that picky, but then again, if she was the one, she probably wouldn't want it also. The triangle wasn't as shiny as all the others ones were. Rather, it looked dull and dusty.
"Nope, I do not want that thing no matter how valuable it is." Takeya shook her head first. Machi, Sakura, and Nuriko didn't say anything since they got their necklaces already. They were too busy preaching and worshipping it. "I'll take it." Vessica finally shouted out when no one wanted it.
Yohina smiled. She should've known. Vessica was always the person to take what the others didn't want. She's so kind. "Here, then it's yours." She said as she handed the necklace over to Vessica. Vessica took it over and looked at it. However, she did not worship and brag about it like the others did and put it around her neck almost immediately.
"Man! It's over already?" Takeya complained when they turned to look at the TV and the first episode of Saiyuki was already over. Yohina felt sorry inside since the first episode was pretty funny and it explained what the story was about. "Well, it was just one episode." She thought as she sat down beside the others and started to watch TV.
As the beginning song of the second episode started, Yohina was so irritated by Machi and Nuriko's continually preaching over the necklaces. They were trying to decide which one of theirs was better looking. Also, she didn't want to listen to the opening theme of Saiyuki either, but Takeya insisted that they do not fast-forward it because she wanted to listen to it so much.
"WOULD YOU TWO JUST STOP IT? IT IS JUST A NECKLACE! IF YOU LIKE IT SO MUCH, THEN GO HOME AND WORSHIP IT! DON'T DO IT HERE! IT'S ANNOYING!" Yohina finally exploded when she couldn't take it anymore. Her eyes were flaring with anger and irritation that her words made Machi and Nuriko to hug each other.
"Come on, Yohina! We are sorry, but let us see your necklace. I want to see what is different about all the necklaces." Machi pleaded with an innocent looked she always bore when she was trying to get someone to do a favor for her.
Yohina sighed. "If you promise to shut up about it afterwards, fine." She said as she took down the necklace she was wearing.
It was exactly the same with Nuriko and Machi's necklaces except it was purple. The shape and size matches exactly. However, Machi went to the sofa and turned on the lamp beside it and examined the necklaces closed. Seconds later, she smiled.
"Looks like I found a difference." She said with pride as she strode over to where all the other girls were sitting at on the floor.
"What?" Yohina asked curiously all of the sudden.
"Give me your necklaces!" Machi said as she pointed at Sakura and Vessica also. The other girls weren't listening to them since it was none of their business. They were all attracted to the TV since the second episode had just started.
Vessica and Sakura did as they were told and took out their necklaces. Now, the five of them sat in a circle with each of their necklace in hand and looked at Machi. "So what's the big difference?" Yohina asked as she looked around at the other necklaces in her friends' hands.
However, before Machi could speak, the triangle on Yohina's necklace started to glow with purple light. At first, the glow was small like a firefly and it started to get brighter and brighter. The second after Yohina's necklace started to glow, the triangle on Machi's necklace started to glow with blue. It continued on with Sakura, Nuriko, and then Vessica's necklaces. A minute later, all of the triangles on the necklaces were glowing with blinding light. However, it seemed that only the five of them could see the light since the others were still watching the TV as if nothing was happening. Then, suddenly, one of the points on each of the triangles fired a beam of light into the middle of the circle. When the five different colored lights met, the beam exploded into a blinding white light that trapped the girls in whiteness. All of the girls could hear their friends' scream around them, but they couldn't see anything except for the whiteness around them.
We'll meet all the characters in the next chapter, I think...
One thing I just noticed, the story focuses too much on the girls instead of the real Saiyuki characters. I'll make that change, but it's only going to happen after chapter 12 or 13, so please bear it with me. Sorry...
