Chapter 1 : The beginning
The heavens were calm and quiet. No disturbance had occurred in the past week. Generally, most of the gods enjoyed these sorts of times, but this just made Kanzeon Bosatsu a.k.a The Merciful Goddess more bored than ever.
"It grows boring again so soon" she groaned.
"But Kanzeon Bosatsu, what about the Sanzo party?" Jiroushin, her kind advisor queried
"I bet they need some action too. Xiao Lian! Da Lian! Go and get Hikaru here! I've got an idea."
"Oh no..."
A quiet but firm knock awoke the young demon. She raised her head and uttered a slurred "Come in..." and then, as if her head was too heavy, lowered her head with a thunk onto the hard marble table.
"Ah, Hikaru-san, Kanzeon Bosatsu-sama has called for your presence. She says she wants you for a mission." Da Lian bowed as she informed the girl.
"So, if you would please come this way." Xiao Lian added and gestured towards the hallway.
The two ladies waited for an answer, when they heard none and only the opening of a window, their heads snapped up and the two's eyes widened in panic.
"Not again!"
A small troop of servants hurried down a hallway, looking here and there for the young demon. "Hikaru-san! Hikaru-san! Please come out!"
The unit bustled past a route and Hikaru had to be just there.
"Heheh! This would be the second time I've outsmarted them!" she squealed.
"Well the first time doesn't count as you got found afterwards"
"It so does! It was only that I reveale..."
Failure was written all over her face as she turned to see none other, than Jiroushin.
"Well...so you finally come out." the obviously amused 'goddess'.
"Ehhh...it was only that I was going easy on you guys. I would've won if I was playing properly."
"That was not a time for that! Kanzeon Bosatsu has a request for you, Hikaru!" Jiroushin scolded. The dark haired girl lowered her head.
"Enough of it. Hikaru, I have a mission for you." the goddess of mercy started.
"What is it! What is it!"
"It is..." she started again
"Wait! I know! You want me to help with controlling the army!"
"No...I want you to..."
"Aww...come on! I know you want me to! Just say the word and I'll tell the commander!"
"No, Hikaru. My mission for you is..."
"But the army is calling for me! I bet you can hear it too!"
"NOOO!" she bursted.
Shocked looks were all around.
"Jeez Louis, who stole your spring roll?" Hikaru spouted, who was not smart enough to shut her trap.
Fortunately, the merciful goddess merely twitched with anger as she continued what she started.
" Your mission, is to guide the Sanzo Party on their journey."
"Eh? But I don't know how to go to India...But I get to meet Sanzo! Squee!" Hikaru was very much blushing now.
"Shut up!" the goddess commanded and carried on when the demon child was aware that she was getting very ticked off.
"What I mean by 'guide' is travel with them, I want you to help them with your service. Any questions?"
"What if I die! I don't want to die!" Hikaru exclaimed.
"Oh it would be all the better wouldn't it? No, no of course I won't let the precious child I've raised die. If you do happen to die, you will just return to the heavens. And resume watching them."
"Well that's a better deal."
"Anyway, I want you to be careful down there I said you'll return up here if you die so if you get hurt seriously you'll have to deal with it yourself. Also, don't go psycho with gambling down there. You're only 17 ,remember and it will be oh so humiliating for me when word spreads around that the demon child I raised is in jail for gambling and not paying up. Represent me well, kid. Okay?"
"You got it!" and the girl showed a thumbs up.
"Now, get down there!"
Well how was that? Please review but please don't flame. Constructive criticism is always welcome. - Ideas too!
