Chronicles One:
Confession:
Secrets That I Tell No One.
I always sit back and remember the times when I was young, when I couldn't understand anyone. Where I couldn't talk to anyone. I never really…said this to anyone until now…but I'm not Chinese…technically I'm not even a normal Chinese girl. When I was young I was told that my origins especially my Witch origin seems it came from Japan. Maybe that's why I couldn't understand everything.
But I never really knew anything from my previous life all I remember is this village burning in flames and blood everywhere. I think that might have an answer but I try my best not to think about it.
But I do remember what happened a year before I met Hakkai and Gojyo. I was a thief I think, but I guess that isn't a good thing huh? Those people then gave me a nickname they called me 'Death's Blood Angel' I would tell you the reason why they called my by that but then it'll be too disturbing.
Then again that wasn't the only name they called me. My real name is Gale Halo. I only changed it so that no one would know who I really was if I do…I'll only get hurt again.
When Gojyo and Hakkai found me I was standing at death's door. I only realized that I was also a youkai because my limiter came off by accident when I was being chased. They stopped me and saved me from insanity.
And since I didn't know where else to go. They let me stay with them I was really grateful I wanted to say 'Thank you' but I couldn't find the words.
Three Year's ago
Hakkai smiled at Halo (Zonaki's old name) and bended down placing his hands on his knees to be at Halo's height. He closed his eyes and smiled. Halo looked at him clueless while Gojyo watched from a distance placing a cigarette in his mouth.
"Well since you have no where else to stay..." Halo blinked twice wondering what he's going to say. She didn't know what he was going to say but now that she can finally understand what their saying.
Hakkai opened his eyes again "Why don't you live with us it won't be so much trouble to me and Gojyo we could use another person in the house?" Halo jumped she wasn't expecting him to say that she was expecting something like 'Leave and never come back' but this was a shock she didn't know what to think. Halo's eyes begun to water she leapt towards him and hugged him tightly as she begun to cry.
Hakkai returned the hug as he placed his knees on the ground. "So I'm guessing that's a yes?" Halo and Hakkai let go of each other tears of joy were coming down Halo's face. Hakkai looked at her with a confused expression on his face. "What's wrong?"
Halo shock her head signaling that nothing was wrong. Gojyo looked over at the two and smiled he seemed to be happy with Hakkai's decision. Gojyo walked over to them, Hakkai stood up.
"Well since you'll be lounging with us why don't you tell us your name we can't call you kid forever…" Halo jumped as she wiped the tears away. She turned from them for a minute. 'What am I going to do if I tell them my real name then they might think differently about me…I've got to think up a name…' Hakkai and Gojyo continue to stare wondering what's wrong. Then something went in mind. Halo turned round and placed her knees on the floor and started to dip her finger in the sand feeling the sandy texture surrounding her finger.
Hakkai and Gojyo observed the young teen as she continued to write in the sand. Z was the first letter...then came the letter O this continued until Halo stopped at the last letter I. Halo sat back happy with the name that she selected.
"Z…O…N…A…K…I…Zon…aki?" Gojyo summarized then Hakkai and Gojyo both looked at Halo.
"So is that your name? Zonaki?" Halo nodded.
Back to business
Sorry I got myself a little bit side tracked. Those days that I've spend with Hakkai, Gojyo, Sanzo and Goku were the fun days. I really didn't get off with a good start with Sanzo…
Three Years and a week after meeting Hakkai and Gojyo
Zonaki looked around the halls now she's gone and done it she's got herself lost in this place, and after Gojyo and Hakkai warned her not to stray away this happens. She didn't really expect herself to be lost here. Especially that it's a temple.
Zonaki looked to the left, then the right to see which route she should take. Then she went to the left. It was very strange Zonaki's never been in a temple before. There were a couple of monks at the end of the corridor that Zonaki was currently walking. Zonaki stopped; she turned her head over to the monks and tensed.
So she decided to just walk pass them and not do anything stupid as if she needs to get into more trouble. Zonaki walked calmly past the monks until she heard a shout.
"HEY YOU THERE?"
Zonaki turned round and seen the monks were staring at her. Their staring made her tense even more. She gulped down her nervousness and waited to see what their going to do.
"Should you be in here young Miss?"
Zonaki looked up she tried to speck but nothing English came out. The monk's looked at her muddled and confused they didn't understand what she said.
"What?"
Then Zonaki turned pale, she forgot that she couldn't speck their language yet. Zonaki turned and ran. Trying to get as far away from them as she possibly can.
"WAIT!" shouted one of the monks as they chased after her. Zonaki didn't stop she continued to run. She spotted a door and headed for it. Opening it quickly then slamming it shut behind her as she entered. As she heard the sound of footsteps of her pursuers trailing off. She sighed and relaxed.
'BANG' went a sound. Zonaki jumped up and tensed again, but to only see that a book had fallen out of its place. She sighed again walked over and placed the book back where it fell from. Zonaki looked around her seeing that she has entered someone's room. It was very nice there were a lot of lovely things around the place.
She walked over to the bed there seemed to be some clothes lying on it. It looked like a clean robe. 'This must be a Priest's room…' Zonaki looked at the robes. Zonaki walked over to the closet that was opposite the bed. She slowly opened the door inside was an old black robe with a sash, and a red ribbon trailing down from it. As she leaned forward to look at it her fringe was getting in the way. She took her hand on her fringe to get it out of the way. But no matter how many times she moved it, it came back.
'Oh why won't my fringe stay where I left it I need something to keep it back…?' She looked around her to see what she can use. Then Zonaki looked back at the robes and stared at the red ribbon. She smiled.
'Wonder if I can use that?' She took her hand and pulled out the red ribbon. It was a bit too long to be used. 'I wonder…?' Zonaki held the end and tugged it a bit feeling the soft silky texture. 'Can I cut this off?' She looked round trying to see if there was anything she can use to cut it off.
Zonaki then turned her direction to the desk. She walked over and saw a pair of scissors she smiled. 'That'll do…' She took the scissors and held the ribbon at where it needed to be cut off. She analyzed it precisely and accurately then snipped it off, it flew down to the ground gently like a weightless feather.
Zonaki wrapped it under her fringe until it sat like a bandanna. As she tied it tightly she smiled proudly then looked at the remains of the ribbon on the ground.
'I really hope that who ever owned this won't be needing it…?' Zonaki hoped as she picked up the remaining piece and waved it around a bit.
To Be Continued
Sanzo's Guardian Angel: I just love keeping people in suspense…I just did this to tell you a little bit more about her. But if you want to know more and what happens next…then review. And to see who owned the black robes you can guess but I'm not telling yeah if it's right or not…So until the next one see yeah later…oh yes and to say to some people who thinks I'm abandoned the stories of 'Grow Up' and 'The Long Road' well then that isn't true I never abandon my work but I've got a writer's block for those two at the minute. So I'll try my best…if you have any suggestions then I'll be happy to hear them.
