Okay..this is my first try at a Saiyuki story. So please.. flames and praise are both welcomed! LoL... Anyhow.. this is my take on what the guys lives would be like if they were reborn as new people. I guess some info is needed to read this:

- Anything in Itallics or ' ' are either the characters thoughts or a memory..
- Hakkai's reincarnation is a woman.. yes yes you can say all you want but thats what I choose because I thought it would be best.. lol..
- Goku is going to be 15 years old and not a heretic.. but. He is going to be a demon.. obviously..
- Sanzo is NOT a priest.. but.. for this story his name is going to stay that way.. (It will be explained)
- Gojyo is still a child of taboo.. cant say much other than that.. lol..

Well.. I hope you enjoy the story!

Chapter One: Lost and Found

Hakkai looked out her window and sighed. 'Raining again' she thought to herself. She put a kettle of water to boil on the stove. The she went to her CD case and pulled out a random CD and put it into the player. She raised up the volume slightly and sat by the window. Music began to flood gently through the speakers as she watched the rain fall.

"This is my December... This is my time of the year... "

Hakkai smiled slightly as she heard the song, 'It was Ken's favorite song'. She couldn't believe it had been 4 years since the last time she saw him. Her brother.

'She was in hell, but she didn't cry out.. she didn't give him the satisfaction of hearing her scream.

"Come on.. Scream for me... " The demon panted as he moved inside of hell. 'This is my personal hell.. If I had listen to Ken this wouldn't be happening. I was stupid for wanting to prove myself,' Hakkai thought as the man ontop of her kept on grunting and holding her hands down. She had tried to fight him off in the beginning but she just wasn't strong enough. 'Pkease let this end.. let him kill me!'

"Hakkai!... Hakkai!" She heard someone yell her name. 'No.. not him.. of all people please not him!' "Hakkai please answer me! Please!" Hakkai felt the tears fall from her eyes. The demon smiled at this is figured that he had finally broken her. While still moving he montioned to the demons standing gurad at the door to 'fetch' the man.

"Cant wait for your brother to see this..." He whispered into Hakkai ear. She began to fight again.

"Please," She heard herself call out. "Please.. don't," Her words became slurred as she began to cry profussely and tried to stuggle away from him again. This just gave the demon more pleasure.

She heard the door burst open and closed her eyes as she heard her brother fighting against the demons.

"Get away from her you bastard! I swear I'll kill you!" Finally the demon ontop of her tensed up and she felt his seed enter her body. She cried out at this and tried to push him off.

"Your sister is a little whore.. and she enjoyed every last bit of what I did to her," He pulled himself off of Hakkai and left her to crawl into a ball on the floor. He fixed himself and then walked over to Ken. "Your family seems to have the gene for beautiful people. Maybe I'll break you in too," He stroked Ken's face, Hakkai felt anger rise up in her body as she forced herself to stand up. She picked up a discarded knife that was used to cut part of her shirt open. The demon looked over his shoulder and saw her stand.

"So.. the bitch wants more..." He walked over to her and grabed her arm. Hakkai smiled slightly and the demon had a look of hate in his eyes at her smile. "What the hell are you smiling at?"

"Your stupidity," Hakkai answered as she stabed him in the heart. He fell to his knees and then fell to the floor infront of Hakkai. Ken took advantage of the guards momentary shock and used his Chii blasts to kill them. He ran over to Hakkai and pulled her into his arms. Hakkai momentarily didn't know what was happening. When she realised she was in her brothers arms she felt her body give up its fight, but not before she saw the demon in the doorway. Unable to call out to her brother, the darkness took her. '

Hakkai came to her senses when she heard the whistle of the kettle. She stood up and felt her legs give way. She fell to the floor in a heap and cursed at her own stupidity. She put her hand to her head as she sat up and felt the tears that had escaped her eyes. She grabed onto the table and walked over to the stove, turned it off, and then walked to the bathroom.

She splashed some water onto her face and looked into the mirror. She looked at her features, her slightly curly shoulder length golden brown hair, her emerald green eyes, and her lightly tanned skin. She pulled her hair into a ponytail and fingered the 3 silver cuffs on her left ear. 'A constant reminder.. of the parents that abandoned us.. the reason why I had left that day.. Ken...' She sighed and walked out.

She remembered what she used to think about her powers. 'What good does it do to have the powers of an Empath when theres no one to care for?' That had been before she gained the ability to use her Chii.. thanks to her brother.. but.. that had also been his downfall.

She walked over to the window sill and leaned out to look at the playground that was infront of her house. In 2 years she was applying for a job there and couldn't wait to work with the children. She noticed a small figure walking hunched back through the yard. A sudden pain hit her hard in the chest.

Hakkai grabed her chest and took a coupple of deep breaths, when she looked up the figure was lying on the floor, unmoving. Hakkai immediately ran to her doorway and ran towards the park. The rain fell hard around her but she didn't care. She reached the figure and saw that he was a young boy, mayber 14 or 15. She leaned over him and heard his heartbeat was really weak. She found that he was lighter than he looked and picked him up, carrying him to her home.
