The Elementals

chapter 1: Demon Attack

" Thank you." Said the young woman with a bow. Only a three day walk to the next town, maybe i'll find some answers there. She slowly walked out of town and down the road towards the next town from there. She looked around at the green landscape around her and smiled. I'm glad I have something to look at this time, the last walk was all desert...

She heard a slight movement behind her. " Who's there?" She asked ready to attack. Ntohing came out of the bushes so she walked on with her eyes glancing behind her often. She heard it a gain, a slight shuffling in the grass nearby. " Come out!" She turned to see a group of foul looking demons behind her. She fell to the ground, onto her knees and palced her hands on the ground. Stones lifted from the road and shot straight through the deoms killing them all.

" Damn, these guys don't take a hint..." She muttered angrily. why wouldn't those stupid demons take a hint and leave her be? She continued walking until it got dark. " Probaly not a good idea to stop. Better move on." She continued her wlak for three days straight killing all the demons that attacked her, until she was to wore out to fight anymore. She continued her walk close to the city limits she started a slow run and got into town. She walked around a market, adn enjoyed looking at all the merchandise until...

" CAN I PLEASE HAVE A MEATBUN? JUST ONE SANZO!" Cried a whiny voice nearby.

" No." Said an angry voice in reply. She walked over, curious about this odd-sounding tag team adn saw four men huddled around.

" Do you ever think of anything besides food, you stupid monkey?"

" do you ever think of anything besides women?"

" Of course i do, i think of many things."

" like?"

" Kicking your ass monkey."

" You wish!" Lin who was watching the entire thing started laughing.

" Oh god! You two have to be the most hilarious guys i've ever seen, I mean who honestly fights like that in the middle of a market?" She said in between laughs.

" Oh great monkey, now you've got a complete stranger laughing at us." Said the red-head.

" It's your own damn fault if she is now both of you SHUT UP!" yelled a blonde man in robes and the two fighting.

" I'm sorry if we've bothered you." Said a browned haired man next to her.

" No, i was just walking around and heard those two arguing." Lin said while watching the two get hit in the head by a paper fan.

" Well that's a relief, I'm afraid they can cause problem sometimes..."

" I'm sure...Well I have to get going,i've been here too long." she said glancing around.

" To long? Your not wanted or soemthing are you?" He asked worriedly.

" no...I just don't like staying in one place to long is all, i've probaly been here to long so i must depart." She said walking away. There's no way I can tell them that if I stayed there they'd be attacked by demons...She started walking until she heard an explosion near where the boys were. NO! She ran over to them and saw them on the ground bloody.

She ran up to them and faced the demon. It was very mean and ugly looking." You will pay, Demon.I call on the power of water to bestow upon me your strength and power, to send this creature to the darkness where it belongs!" Water shot from her hands and bound the demon, then a second strand of water pierced it's heart killing it. She walked over to the red-haired man and shook his shoulder.

" Are you okay?" She asked. He didn't move so she went to the others, and got the same results." Well, this isn't good..."

She walked up to the brown haired man. " Hey, wake up. Come on, it's not good to be in the middle of the street." The man slowly opened an eye.

" W-what happened?"

" A demon attack you guys. I'm soo sorry, i knew i should have left sooner." She said crying.

" It isn't your fault." He said.

" Of course it is! Demons always attack me! They always chase me, and if I stay somewhere to long they attack it!"

" We are chased by demons too, it was probaly after us not you." Said the man. Lin looked at the other men.

" A man in robes, a young boy, a half-breed, and a green eyed man. It's funny you guys look like that Sanzo party people talk about." She said jokingly.

" We are." She just blinked at him.

" Yeah...and i'm a demon..." She said sarcastically.

" No, it's really true."

" Okay, i'll believe you. Your making to much of a fuss over it for it not to be true..." She said," So which one are you? Sun Godu? Slaw Golo? Chew Hockey?" He just blinked at her.

" Where did you get those names? The bar?" He asked.

" No, i heard some people talking and that's what they said, at least it sounded like that."

" Well, I'm Cho Hakkai, not Chew Hockey. That's Son Goku, not Sun Godu. And he's Sha Gojyo, not Slaw Golo."

" I thought some named Chew Hockey was pretty weird...Well, it's nice to meet you, i'm Lin Karashima." They shook hands. They others stirred and standed up.

" Finally up, guys?" Asked Hakkai.

" Yeah. Man, i feel like i was hit with a sledgehammer." Said Gojyo.

" I'm Hungry!"

" You're always hungry." Replied Gojyo," So what's your name?"

" Lin." She said.

" Lin huh? Pretty name, you doin' anything later?" He asked her.

" Hmmm, not that i'm aware of." She said.

" Well, why don't you join me later? We could get dinner, some drinks then have some fun after."

" Tempting...but i'd rather go on a date with the monk." She said rudely.

" What was that?" Said Gojyo, angrily.

" I said, that i would rather dte that monk over you, actually i'd rather date a monkey over you, you have no fashion sense, you have ugly pink hair, adn are a complete dumbass when it comes to women. But then I guess that why you propbaly only get layed by sluts and whores." She said evily.

" What was that about my hair?!?" He yelled.

" I said it was ugly, gotta problem with that?" She asked.

" As a matter of fact i do!"

" SHUT THE HELL UP!" Sanzo yelled hitting them both over the head with his fan.

" Damn, that thing hurts, what's it made of steel?" She asked rubbing her head.

" No, it's not." Stated Sanzo simply, with a hint of malice in his voice.

" Well...it's been fun, but i gotta get running, need to rest up before the next demon attack...soo cya." She said. Her shoulder legth blonde hair blew around as if caught by a strong wind and hr normally blue eyes turned a light purple. Running down her arm from the strap of her green tanktop was a strange black marking that started pulsing in the same color as her eyes. Then she dissapeared into thin air.

" Woh." Said Goku dumbfounded.

" what just happened?" Asked Gojyo.

" I don't know but if she can do that, she must be a powerful demon." Said Hakkai thoughtfully.

Lin talked to a lady and the front desk of an inn in town and checked out a room for the night. She walked upstairs, opened the door, got into to bed then fell straight asleep.
