Hiya! I'm Chibi-Usa. You're getting ready to read my first fanfict. But
before you begin I have a few notes to make:
1) This was written as an assignment for school, so I had to tone down
their attitudes a little. I have gone through and fixed it some though. 2)
As it was for school there were guidelines I had to follow.
Other than that I hope you enjoy.

....................................
I arrived in a small town. Never have I imagined that I would end up in a place like this. Shangri-La is such a beautiful place. There are more forests, rivers, and plains than towns. There are even Buddhist temples in different places across the land. The sky is a bright shade of azure. Clouds roll across the sky in the breeze. The air is warm, yet not stifling so.
The street I'm on is obviously the market street. People rush around buying food, water, and cloths. Some people are even buying weapons of different shapes and sizes. The people mainly wear colorful Chinese style clothes, but a few wear clothes that look like robes. Still some wear clothes like in America.
The most of the building have an ancient China look to them. They have tiled roofs, and many stores have signs in Chinese.
I am so distracted by everything around me that I don't pay attention to where I am going and trip over a rope on the ground. Before my face connects with the dirt a strong arm reaches out and catches me. I look up to thank the man who caught me. He was tall, about six feet. He had on a blue sleeveless jacket and sleeveless white shirt, light brown pants, black boots, and a blue headband. His arms from wrist to mid forearm were wrapped, and he had two scars on his left cheek like he was scratched by something. What got me the most was his red eyes and shoulder length magenta colored hair.
I straighten up and thanked him. "No problem," he says. "My name is Sha Gojyo. Why don't we go somewhere and get to know each other." He places his hand on my shoulder.
"Hay Gojyo, you perv, leave her alone!" Three young men walk toward us. The one who called out to us seems to be the youngest. He looks about 18. He has short brown hair, gold eyes, and has a gold coronet around his head. He wears an orange, pale yellow shirt with red down the front, blue jeans, and brown boots. He is carrying a bag full of meat buns. Behind him is a man that seems to be a priest. He has on white robes, some sort of chest plat, and something that looks like a scroll draped around his shoulders. He has purple eyes and short golden hair. The last man has short dark brown hair and green eyes, on of witch is covered by a monocle. He has a green headband, green Chinese shirt, light brown pants, dark brown shoes, and a very light pink shawl wrapped from his left shoulder to his waist. A small white dragon is sitting on his shoulder.
The one that shouted goes up to Gojyo, "I thought you didn't go after kids!" He points at me, "She looks about 12!"
I glare at him. "I'm 16 thank you very much!"
"I thought so," Gojyo says. He and the boy laps into argument.
The man in green comes up to me laughing. "Don't mind them. My name is Cho Hakkai, and this is Genjo Sanzo." He indicated to the priest beside him. "You already know Gojyo, and the kid arguing with him is Son Goku."
After I introduced myself, and Goku and Gojyo stopped arguing, they invited me to eat with them. While we are eating I learn that this might not have been a good time to stumble upon Shangri-La. There are demons here and at one time humans and demons lived peacefully together, but recently they have been turning violent. The only demons that seem to be immune to what's going on is the three I'm with, Goku, Gojyo, and Hakkai. That explained Gojyo's hair. Sanzo told me that the four of them are going to India to stop the people responsible for the problems.
We hang out and get to know each other a while longer. I tell them where I'm from and that I was on a trip across China and found my way here. Sanzo, Hakkai, and Goku, who is on his fifth serving, listen as I talk about my home. Gojyo has gone off to flirt with a couple of pretty waitresses.
It starts to get late and Sanzo advises that we should get a room at the inn. Goku immediately invites me to stay with them. I agree and we head toward the inn.
We've only waked down the street a short ways when a man at a table calles out to me. His face is covered with a cloak. I make my way over to him. The others stand around me in a protective fashion. I guess being attacked by demons left and right can cause that sort of caution. I'm not complaining though since I'm not armed.
"This weapon only works for the person it chooses," he tells me indicating to the small red rod on the table. There seems to be some sort of design on it in gold. Looking closely I can see the design is a dragon.
"Why'd you call us over just to tell us that," Goku says with a look of confusion and irritation.
Sanzo pulls a large paper fan from who knows where and whacks Goku on the head. "Shut up and listen."
"It began to react when you passed by," the man says nodding toward me.
"So, what's that mean?" I ask him.
He picks up the rod and hands it to me. "It means this weapon belongs to you." I glance nervously at Sanzo. He nods and I take the rod from the man. I gasp in shock as it glows brightly and grows into a long pole with a blade at the top. The dragon design is near the blade. "It is called a Naginata. It's similar to a halberd."
"That a pretty good weapon, Jerrica," Gojyo says with a whistle. "It'll come in handy if you're in a tight spot. "I turn to thank the man but he has disappeared. Sanzo and Hakkai look uneasy about the man's sudden disappearance. My Naginata turns back into a rod and I hook it to a loop on my pants.
We get some rooms at the inn. Goku and Gojyo play poker while I play with Hakuryu, Hakkai's little dragon. Hakkai and Sanzo sit in the corner talking in hushed voices. I get the feeling that they have and idea who the man was. After a while Hakkai and Gojyo head to their room, and Sanzo, Goku, and I get ready for bed. Sanzo and me take the two beds and Goku sleeps on the floor.
That night we are awakened by screams of terror from outside. We run outside and see a group of hideous black creatures with red hair, blue eyes, and beastly fangs attacking and killing people. I feel a little queasy at the sight of all the carnage. "W-what are those things!" I ask in shock.
"They're a group of mindless demons called Rasetsu," Sanzo answers in disgust.
"They're far too organized for them to be just a normal group of Rasetsu," Hakkai says. "They must be sent by Gyumaoh's group."
Gyoumaoh, the demon who the people causing all the problems among demons and humans are trying to resurrect. So these things are here for Sanzo and the others! I realize with a shock.
"These sickos! If they want us so much why don't they come after us and leave the humans alone!" Goku shouts in rage. He points his hand out and it lights up. A red staff appears in his hand. He rushes at the nearest Rasetsu and attacks it, knocking it away from the man it was attacking. The Rasetsu charges at Goku and he stabs his staff in the chest of it. The Rasetsu cries out in angst and disappears into thin air.
I here a cry nearby and I turn toward the source. A Rasetsu has cornered a little girl and is about to attack her. Before I even realize what I'm doing I grab and summon up my Naginata and charge at the beast. I vaguely hear Gojyo, Sanzo, and Hakkai shouting at me to stop, and Gojyo's swear when I continue my charge.
I jump in front of the girl and block the Rasetsu's attack. I bring my Naginata above my head and slash down into the demon. It shatters and disappears with a cry. I turn to the girl to see if she is ok. The little girl screams as a Rasetsu jumps out of nowhere and tries to attack us. A crescent blade connected to a chain flies at the demon and kills it. I stare in shock with my heart pounding as Gojyo pulls the blade back and it connects to a staff he is holding. "You shouldn't rush into danger like that," he says smiling. "You could get yourself hurt."
"Gojyo's right," Hakkai says while firing some sort of light from his hands at the demons. "You need to be more careful."
The last of the Rasetsu surround us and begin to close in. Nearly thirty are left, and everyone is starting to feel fatigued. Sanzo has also ran out of bullets for his banishing gun. The Rasetsu slowly close in on us. There has to be something I can do! I think in desperation. No sooner had the thought entered my mind my Naginata begins to glow. Everyone turns to look at me in shock.
"What's going on!" Goku exclaims. A gold dragon flies from my Naginata and swoops at the Rasetsu. They take off running in fear as the dragon lets out a blast of light from its mouthing taking out all of them.
It turns about and flies back and lands in front of me. At this distance I can tell it's about the same height as me. Its eyes are a bright crimson. Its scales give off a faint red glow making it seem like it's burning. It tilts its head in toward my Naginata and glows brightly again. When it disappears I realize that the dragon is the design on my Naginata.
"What the hell was that!" Gojyo exclaims braking the silent shock we all lapsed into.
"That was the power of the Naginata." We turn toward the voice and I recognize it as the man I received my weapon from. He is a young man with short reddish brown hair that goes into three long strands in the back. His eyes are violet, and he has the red marks on his left cheek. He has a metal band around his head, and long triangle earrings in both ears. He has on a black jacket and no shirt. His pants are tan, and black boots. There are two metal chokers around his neck. He has two metal bracelets on each arm, and by the look of his pointed ears I can tell he's a demon.
"Kougaiji!" Goku exclaims.
"So you're the one who sent these demons," Gojyo says with a hint of disgust in his voice.
Kougaiji smiles, "No, I didn't."
"Why did you give the Naginata to Jerrica?" Sanzo asks.
Goku and Gojyo look at him with stunned expressions. "That was him!" they say in unison.
"I don't like the man who did send these creatures." With that he disappears again.
* * *
"Later that day the townspeople come to thank us and see us off. The little girl I saved comes up to me and give me food for my journey. We bid everyone goodbye, and when we get away from the village I say my good-byes to Sanzo and the others and wish them luck with their fight." I finish my story for my class. Everyone looks at me with looks of bewilderment.
"You expect us to believe that you saved a village from a group of demons," someone asks. Expecting this I pull out a picture I had someone take of us. Goku and me are in front, I am making the V sigh with my Naginata behind me, and Gojyo, Sanzo, and Hakkai, with Hakuryu on his shoulder, are in back. Everyone stars in shock at the picture while I just smile.

Maybe when I watch the rest of the series I'll continue this. (I've only seen up to the fourth DVD)
Now that you've made it this far why don't you click on that little button in the bottom left corner that says review. Comments are always welcome. Flames will be used to cook Raman. Thank you.
