A/N: Okay, so I have never been able to find a fanfic where the Senshi meet jin and the others so a decided to do one of my own. Hope you enjoy!
Oh, and just so that you know - I'm doing a mix of anime and manga (emphasis on manga) verses for both series. Let me know if anyone is to far out of character please!
Kino Makoto, the Sailor Senshi of Thunder and Wood – who had been hiking not a half hour ago – was fairly certain that she was no longer in Japan. In fact she was fairly certain that she wasn't on Earth at all. For one thing, Makoto knew for a fact that Earth doesn't have any man eating plants 3x her size with prehensile vines. Or any islands that float in air either.
This wasn't the first time in the last couple of months that she had somehow wound up wherever this world was.
So, dangling from the under-belly of this island – with others in the distance – and about to get eaten she seriously wondered... Did she leave the stove on? And how is she going to climb back up to the top of the island? Maybe she could transform into Eternal Sailor Jupiter and fly up? No, wait; she'd already tried that and couldn't transform.
Well, first things first she has to deal with this plant... Which has started to drool – yes, drool – on her. Makoto cringed back, the smell setting off alarm bells in her head that screamed 'ACID!' Despite her best efforts some of it dripped onto her exposed thigh and she screamed. Makoto was used to fights and having a plethora of cuts and bruises. But acid? That was a whole other type of pain, one she wasn't used to. More dripped onto her and she continued screaming.
The volume would have put her Princess' to shame.
Moments before everything went black she heard voices – all male – and felt rushing wind saw across her already screaming nerves. But, despite the increased pain that wind was causing, there was something woven throughout it that was comforting and said, 'You're safe'.
She let the darkness take her and fell into the wind's embrace. Or, more precisely, the embrace of a red-haired and blue-eyed wind master with a white horn coming out the top of his head. He stared down at her with a thoughtful expression.
Most Humans would have been unconscious a while ago... Mind you, most Humans don't have such a weird power coming off of them, even if that power is almost non-existent. If not for the Human taint in her aura he would have mistaken her for... Something not Human, though he wasn't really sure what.
She was rather pretty though.
He mentally shook the thought aside; the peculiarity of her aura was setting off warnings for reasons that he was trying to pinpoint and he'd been in too many fights and was far to experienced to just dismiss those warnings.
"JIN!" Rinku's loud call snapped the Wind Master out of his studying of the brunette and back to his waiting friends, whom he'd been training with when they heard the woman currently in his arms scream.
He shifted his body, his hold on her and the wind holding them both aloft at the same time and rocketed towards the others. They knew him well enough by now to know when he was going to make them scatter (he had a bit of an impish sense of humor), stop to close (generally an accident) and actually stop at a proper distance.
He stopped at a proper distance this time, so none of them had to scatter. Instead they just waited to see if he was going to land or stay floating. He landed.
"My, my." Shishiwakamaru said when he got a look at at the woman in Jin's arms, "She's rather attractive, for a Human. No wonder you were staring at her like that."
He normally would have protested that, but instead ignored the remark, and studied his friends. By the looks on Touya's and Suzuki's faces that they had sensed her odd aura.
"Hm." Touya commented, "Perhaps we should take her to Kurama...?"
"Agreed." Jin agreed, "But we don't know who she is so best to be careful."
Touya nodded and said, "At least until we figure her out."
"Huh?" From Rinku, "What'er you guys talking about?"
"Her aura's not entirely a Human's." Chuu supplied, having given the girl a more serious check after Jin and Touya's exchange.
Another 'huh?' from Rinku, then he checked himself and found – much to his surprise – that Chuu was, indeed, right.
"Whoah. Man. Weird." Rinku said succinctly, then snapped his fingers in realization, exclaiming, "Sailor Jupiter!"
There was a collective "Who?" from the others.
"Oh, right. You guys wouldn't know." Rinku said remembering that they had never actually been to the Human world – except for a brief stint to train at Genki's – whereas he had grown up there until he joined up with them, "The Sailor Senshi are supposed to be these girls that go around in mini skirts and sailor collars protecting people with, like, super powers and stuff."
"Sounds interestin'." Chuu commented with a cheeky grin.
"Mini skirts, you say?" Shishiwakamaru asked.
A thoughtful hum from Suzuka, followed by, "Maybe we should check these girls out... Just to see if there's any merit to these stories."
Jin and Touya just stared at them as Rinku exclaimed, "Geeze! You guys are perverts!"
Chuu punched him in the back of the head and informed him that he'd understand when he was older.
Jin turned to Touya and said, "I'm gonna go take 'er back to the Human world." and took off a blast of wind that knocked everyone – except Touya, who knew it was coming and used his ice powers to anchor himself – over. The other three yelled for him to wait up.
Jin ignored them.
When Makoto found herself bereft of that protective blanket of wind she began struggling to wake up, realizing somewhere in the haze of her mind that she was in danger without that protective presence. She manged to open her eyes, though they kept trying to close again and refused to focus. She was able to make out the fuzzy, back-lit forms of two men; one stocky with messily cropped hair (from what she could tell); the other slim and long haired.
Who were they? Where was she? But her mind kept sliding off the questions in it's exhausted, pain-addled state before she could ask them. Instead she struggled to sit up. One of them tried to push her carefully back down (she sensed the touch of a healer), but she pushed back and the bigger one placed a large hand just under her neck, on her chest and easily pushed her back down.
"Take it easy there!" He said even as she registered that his aura was the same one that she had sensed in the wind earlier.
"Name." She croaked, looking straight at him, needing to know who he was.
"Jin."
Darkness consumed her again, but she clung to his answer.
"Strong lass..." Jin commented studying her drawn face.
"Mm. Very." Kurama agreed.
It was an hour later that Yukina finally arrived and finished what Kurama's herbs had started. Kuwabara was with her – she was still staying with his family – and immediately recognized the young woman on the Kitsune's couch.
"That's a friend of my cousin's!"
"Really?" Kurama inquired as Jin's eyebrows went up at the exclamation.
What'er the odds o' that? The Wind Master wondered silently.
"Yeah. Naru and I ran into her when I was visiting."
"Do you know where she lives?" The Kitsune asked.
"Nah. But I think Naru does."
A few minutes later Kuwabara was hanging up the phone. He had contacted his cousin who had told him that she would call back in a couple of minutes. What the former Spirit Detective had told her was that she had been found passed out – from anemia – next to the street and he and a friend of his had found her. Recognizing who it was he called Naru so that they could get her home.
"Uh..." Kuwabara started, "She said that her best friend's boyfriend is coming to pick her up. His name's Mamoru."
"Well, I suppose that saves you a trip Jin." Kurama comment, "Jin?"
The aforementioned Wind Master was staring intently out the open window.
"What is it?" Kurama asked, suddenly on alert.
"Well, you can guys can come on out now." Was all Jin said and out of the trees and bushes came Chuu, Rinku, Shishiwakamaru, Suzuka and Touya.
Kurama sighed, Kuwabara stared at them in surprise and Yukina wondered why they were there.
"Sorry." Touya said to Jin, "I couldn't stop them and came to make certain that they don't cause any trouble."
"Oh. Thank-you." The Wind Master said in reply over the protests of the other adults.
Rinku simply said "I wanted their autographs." by way of explanation for his presence.
The door bell rang.
"Huh. That was fast." Kuwabara commented as Kurama went to answer the door.
A muffled "Are you Minamino Shuichi?"
"Yes. Your friend is this way."
Touya and the others hid themselves again (Rinku had to be grabbed and yanked into a bush)
A couple of moments later Kurama walked back into the living room with a man of decent height with short, groomed black hair and midnight blue eyes. There was an air of calm, almost-aloofness about him that bordered on cold. He went straight over to Makoto.
All the while Kuwabara stared at him with wide eyes as what looked like red strings connected, one after the other, between him and everyone else in the room. As the man picked the tall girl up Kuwabara spoke.
"Uh. H-hey man."
Mamoru turned his cool regard towards the orange-haired psychic.
"Uh, I know this is gonna sound kinda weird, but, um, I think all of our fates just got tangled up together."
"And you are?"
"Kuwabara Kazuma."
"That psychic that keeps warning of natural disasters? Thought I recognized you."
"Uh, yeah well..."
"Don't worry; I believe you." The man interrupted – much to Kuwabara's surprise – then turned to the still open window and said, with an almost wicked look in his eyes, "Chuu, would you like me to pass on your regards to Rae-san?"
"No!" The answer came from behind a tree, "I'd rather live!"
Mamoru smiled mischievously as Chuu – from behind his tree – thought, You sadistic bastard.
Kurama decided that he just might get along with this guy.
Kuwabara saw another red string form.
"Does this Rae happen to be a woman with two crows named Deimos and Phobos?"
Mamoru looked surprised, but answered honestly.
"...Yes."
"Tell them Shishiwakamaru says 'hi'."
"...Alright."
He looked down at the woman in his arms and was about to say that he needed to get going when Touya appeared at the window and asked, "Who are you? Your aura feels Human, but not."
"Chiba Mamoru. I have to take Makoto-san home now."
Everyone present made mental notes of the names. And just like that Mamoru was gone.
They all wondered how they would next encounter eachother.
