Hey, guys! This is a crossover between my story and my friend, Royazali's story!! It should be funny, and it shouldn't give a whole lot away...but anywho, Ta da!!

I

Slowly opening her eyes, she realized she wasn't where she should be. Kiara quickly sat up and looked around.

"We were not in a forest last time I checked," she said to herself. Standing, she dusted herself off. She looked around her once more, not hearing the snarky remark she expected from Hiei. She found nothing but trees.

"Guys?" she called, slightly worried. Her ear twitched and she turned toward the noise. Laughter, talking, the rattling of coins. "A market place?"

Kiara crept toward the town, using the trees as a cover. Sure enough, there was the marketplace. Then she noticed something odd, they were all dressed strangely. It looked like she wound up back in the Renaissance period in England.

Kiara looked down at herself: T-shirt, jeans, sneakers, black wolf ears and a tail.

Something tells me walking into a place full of humans, dressed funny with ears and a tail is a really bad idea.

She changed into her human form and found a small clothing shop. Sneaking in, she found some clothes and quickly changed into them. Making sure no one saw her, she threw away her old clothes, making sure she got wat she need out of her pockets, which was nothing. She had no weapons on her, no seeds, no communicator, no nothing. She walked out of the store and down the street.

Using a ribbon from a small vendor, she tied her hair up in a pony tail of sorts. Rubbing the back of her neck, she double checked her 'second skin' was on, covering her tatoo.

Okay, okay...Umm...Place to stay and info. Eh, need money first...Aha!

A royal gaurd. Kiara smirked inwardly as she thought of a plan. Walking towards him, she looked away from him right as someone knocked her over.

"Ow! Jeez, what hit me?" Kiara said from the ground. She looked around to see who knocked her down, all she found was a hand outstretched towards her. She looked to whom it belong to: the royal gaurd. She took the hand and he pulled her to her feet.

"Are you alright, miss?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you, I guess I wasn't watching where I was going," Kiara replied. Dang! He's a lot better-looking up close!

The gaurd smiled and nodded, then went back to what Kiara assumed was his post. She walked away and found a small bar. Walking in, she saw normal people, just having a good time, creepy-looking people, that looked at her funny, and some random guy getting slapped by the waitress.

Kiara sat down at a lone table and the waitress walked over to her, still angry, saying, "What d'ya want?"

"Water, please," Kiara said. The waitress walked off and came back a minute later with a glass of water. Kiara took a sip and started listening in to conversations to figure out where the heck she was.

She heard many things said that could not be un-heard, unfortunately for her. Finally, she found a conversation that was not necessarily helpful, but entertainting.

"Hey, she's new."

"Who?"

"The blonde, with the ponytail. She's cute. You ever seen her before?"

"Nope, and you have a girlfriend. Or did you do something else to tick her off?"

"I didn't do anything! This time..."

"Sure, Jareth."

Oh, yeah, these two were going to be a lot of fun. But the question was, could Kiara get any information out of them? She glanced over at them. The red-head, she could tell by his voice, was the one called 'Jareth'. She hadn't heard the silver-haired guy's name ye- Wait. Silver hair? What? Kiara could've sworn she was surrounded by humans. Well, his energy did feel a bit weird.

During her thinking, Jareth had made his way over to her, much to Silver's dismay. Noticing she had space out, Jareth began to wave his hand in front of her face.

Maybe she could read their minds and get the answers she needed? Nah, 'Jareth' struck her as the type where she didn't want to know what he was thinking. Ugh, she wished that stupid hand would get out of her face, she was trying to think here! Wait...hand?

She blinked. She then looked to the owner of said hand.

Jareth.

"Hi," Kiara said, "Sorry, I spaced out." She smiled at him. This is gonna be so weird...

Jareth smiled back, "Hey, sorry to bother you, but I don't think I've seen you around here before. Mind if we join you?" he said, gesturing to Silver who was still at the other table.

Might as well, maybe she'll get some info on just where the hell she is. "Sure, I could use the company," Kiara said.

Jareth's eyes lit up and he turned to Silver and flashed him a thumbs up. Silver sighed and slowly got up, shaking his head and walked over. Jareth sat down and Silver sat next to him.

Kiara took this time to actually look at them, they both had bandanas, cloaks, and as everyone else, was dressed very strangely to Kiara. Red seemed like more of the 'I'm all that' kind of attitude and Silver had the 'I really don't know why I hang around him' look on his face. Kiara guessed Red was in his early twenties, if that, and Silver looked around sixteen.

"I'm Jareth," he said, introducing himself.

"I'm Roy," Silver said.

"My name's Kiara. You guys have cool names. I knew a guy named Roy once, well not really, but anyway, he was such a man-whore," Kiara said, reffering to Roy O'Bannon from 'Shangai Noon'

Roy laughed, "I think the roles are switched here," he said, glancing at Jareth. Unfortuanly for Roy, he caught it.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Jareth said, tyring to control his anger.

"Nothing!" Roy said, still grinning.

Kiara laughed, "Okay, guys, calm down, it was just a joke." Jareth seemed to calm down some, but looked like he was plotting Roy's death in his mind. It was then, that Kiara decided to get some answers, before these two killed each other.

"Um, I'm kinda new, as you noticed, and I have no earthly idea where I am. Could you guys help me out?" Kiara asked, a sheepish smile on her face.

"You're in Topaz Town," said Jareth.

"Okay, um. Could you tell me what year it is? I keep getting the date mixed up," Kiara said. She really didn't think it was the time she was supposed to be in.

"It's October 21, 1820," Roy said, "-ish. I think it's 1820. It is, isn't it, Jareth?" Roy asked, turning his head slightly to look at his companion.

Kiara stopped. 1820? Seriously? If it was really 1820 "-ish" (in Roy's words), then Kiara would only be about fifteen. Currently, she was 200. Something was definately wrong. She looked to Roy to see his head turned, and she got a good look at his ears. Now, normally, Kiara didn't really notice what other peoples' ears looked like.

But this kid...had pointy ears. Silver hair, and pointy ears...That just ain't right! It's fairly common in Demon World, for either or, but both? and in Human World? Not likely.

She vaguely saw Jareth nod to whatever Roy said, but when he looked back to Kiara to confirm it, she bit her lip and looked away.

Roy saw her turn her head. He didn't really know why, but he asked anyway, "Are you alright?"

Jareth noticed this too, "Kiara?" She had closed her eyes and was almost making her lip bleed. She opened her eyes and faced the table once again. "Did you miss somebody's birthday, or somethin'? I know that bugs the hell outta Melanie," Jareth said.

Kiara shook her head, "No, no it's only partially the date. Um," she looked at Roy questioningly and grabbed the top of her ear. Roy sighed, and nodded.

"Yes, I have pointy ears. Please, don't attack me. I've been through enough lately," Roy said.

"I make no promises. Pointy ears, no matter where you go, is a weakness for most girls," Kiara said.

"Of course! It's always the pointy ears!" said Jareth, who seemed completely ready to strangle Roy.

"I don't really see why you're jealous, Red. It's gotta be horrible if you go somewhere you don't want to be noticed," Kiara said, earning a nod from Roy. "Besides, don't you have a girlfriend?"

Jareth stopped. He didn't mention Sheno. Did Roy? No. Then how-?

"How'd you know I had a girlfriend?" he asked, confused, "And did you just call me 'Red'?" Kiara chuckled.

"Well, you guys weren't exactly quiet over there," she said, smiling. "And, yes, I did."

Jareth thought about yelling at her, but then again, 'Red' was better than what his sister called him.

It was driving her nuts. Here she was, in front of an Ancient who was traveling with a human, and she had to stay in her human form. Not cool. But, if he was an Ancient, did he know Raith? was this where Raith came from? Kiara knew Raith was quite a bit older than Crystal, but she didn't know by how much. And if this kid was only sixteen or seventeen, while technically, Kiara was supposed to 15, Raith couldn't be a few years older than Kurama. But, why was she worried about Raith's age? She should worry about how to get home!

"So where ya headed?" Jareth asked. The waitress came and told how much the water was.

Kiara snapped out of her thinking. "Um. Well, I was out with my friends and we were about to go home, but...I got separated from them. And now I'm lost," she said, hanging her head. Hey, it was the truth! Reaching into her pocket to get the money, she froze, a look of horror on her face. How could she be so stupid?! She had forgotten to steal from the guard.

Eh?! How do you forget to steal from a royal guard?! Ugh, Kurama and Hiei would be so dissapointed in me... She slowly laid her head on the table.

"Kiara?" Jareth asked. She wimpered.

"I have no money," she said. Roy sighed and paid for her drink, it wasn't that much, it was just water. The waitress walked away and Kiara raised her head, muttering her thanks.

"So what happened to you?" Roy asked.

Kiara started to think. What had happened? They were given a mission, they were fighting the bad guy, and.....what then? She couldn't rememeber.

"I think I got hit, or something. I don't remember what happened after we got the guy," she said.

"What guy?" Roy asked.

"Calm down, Roy. She could've been hired by somebody as-" Jareth stopped, "You're not a bounty hunter, are you?" They really didn't need to be chased at the moment. This was supposed to be a calm day. Then again, nothing is ever calm for Jareth and Roy.

Kiara was confused. She wasn't technically a bounty hunter...was she? She had her assassin days way back when, but, now? She was a Spirit Detective. Did that count as a bounty hunter? She didn't think so.

"Uh. No. Why?" she asked, they seemed a bit jumpy at that question. Jareth and Roy exchanged glances.

"No, reason, really, just curious," Jareth said. Kiara raised an eyebrow.

"What, are you guys criminals or something?" she asked, smirking.

"He is," Roy said, pointing at Jareth.

"You are too! You blew up an entire city!" Jareth half-yelled. Kiara blinked. Oh, yeah, he was an Ancient. Roy proceeded to yell that the incident was Jareth's fault. They then got into a verbal argument about whose fault it was that the city got blown up! Good grief! But, she had to admit, they were funny.

Just then, as if on cue, a group of bounty hunters walked in and marched straight up to Kiara's table.

"Jareth Blake!" one of them yelled. Jareth and Roy stopped arguing and looked at the guy who yelled. Roy sighed while Jareth groaned.

"Why can't you guys just leave us alone for once?" he asked.

"Heh. Yeah right! Like we'd just let you wander aimlessly in our midst!" said another Hunter.

"Well, you've done it before," Roy said, looking bored.

"Seriously, guys, lay off! We're in the middle of somethin' here!" Jareth said, reffering to Kiara.

Just then, Kiara got grabbed by the biggest guy there and was jerked out of her chair while he had his arm around her neck. Jareth and Roy jumped up, not wanting her to get hurt because of them.

Really? Kiara clicked her tongue. She was being used as bait to get Jareth and Roy mad, or 'come peacefully' as some say it, and she would be dragged along to be the play thing. Ain't no way.

"Just let me handle this one, guys, I got this," Kiara said. Jareth and Roy looked weary, until they saw her smile and notice her fangs. She grabbed the guys arm that was holding her and bit him. Hard.

Roaring in pain, the man let go of her and she ducked out of the way of his flailing arms. Standing a few feet away, Kiara raised the gun she grabbed off the guy and fired. The blast caused a 5-inch hole through his chest. Kiara's eyes widened and her face lit up. She was totally keeping this thing!

The man finally stopped twitching and the other Hunters were a bit shaken, but still ready to battle. Three shots later, the rest of the group was dead too. Kiara turned to Jareth and Roy who couldn't believe their eyes. Kiara may have looked small and petite but she just reminded them both of Melanie and Sheno.

Kiara hugged the gun. "I'm so keeping this," she said with a huge smile on her face.

"Right...Um. Lets just go somewhere else before we get caught, kay?" Jareth suggested.

II

They were currently in a forest. Walking to the next town, because now, Topaz Town was crawling with Hunters. All thanks to Jareth, Roy, and now, Kiara.

Kiara was told that 'magitech' pistols were only good for so long. So she got a normal gun, plenty of ammo, and 'found' a good sword on the way out of Topaz Town. Jareth was still curious though. Where did this chick come from? And who the hell taught her how to steal? He never even noticed! But aside from all that, they barely knew her! Someone remind him why they were travelling with her again?

Oh, that's right.

Roy.

He had to go and play the hero! 'But she could be in trouble! What if as soon as we leave she gets killed? Do you want that on your conscious?' Bah! It wasn't like she was defenseless! Hell, she could probably kick both their asses, no problem! But, no! Jareth sighed, they were stuck with her. It wasn't that he didn't like her, it was just, he didn't know her.

What the hell was wrong with him?!

She's a girl! And a cool one too!! What was it that was bugging him?

"How much longer 'til the next town?" Kiara asked.

"Bout a days walk," Jareth said. Kiara bit down a groan. A day? Seriously? This was gonna be a pain in the butt.

She sighed, "You guys mind if I sing?" she asked. She was bored and had nothing better to do.

"Sure," Roy said, while Jareth shrugged. Now all she had to do was think of what to sing. All the really good songs were sung by guys and she normally screwed them up. But the few girl-sung songs she knew, she didn't know by heart. But there was one she knew by heart. It might creep them out, but it would give her something to do.

The first Alice went walking through the woods of Wonderland,

Bravely with fearsome sword clutched in her fevered hand,

She cut down creatures in the way of her unyeilding wrath,

Leaving carnage in her wake by a red and bloody path.

The first Alice strayed too far and too deep in the wood,

It marked her as a sinner, and locked her in there for good,

Much like the grusome path that marked her murdering way,

Her life remained a mystery until this very day.

The second Alice was a tame and tender gentleman,

Singing songs to all the folks who lived in Wonderland,

He sang a song so blue to fill what's empty in the world,

Creating sounds of madness waiting to be unfurled.

This Alice was as fragile as the flowers all around,

A madman came to him one day and shot him to the ground,

His blood stained the roses to a bright and somber red,

And all who shunned him loved the roses soiled from what was dead.

The third Alice was a young and lovely girl from Wonderland,

A truly pretty creature, what's not to understand?

She charmed all of the people to her every beck and call,

And gave birth to a green country that rose above them all.

The third Alice then became this country's sovereign queen,

But she would rule her nation lost within her own distorted dream,

All she sees is rotting flesh inside her vanity,

Afraid of death, she rules in place for all eternity.

Find the bright red forest path, that's where the journey starts,

A tea party with blue roses, that's where the forest parts,

The invite from the queen, it actually was,

The trump card, the Ace of Hearts!

The fourth Alice was a curious pair of siblings who were twins,

Straying into Wonderland is where their tale begins,

Interested in the worlds, they passed through many doors,

Inquisitive of its many makings each of them explores.

The stubborn older sister and the clever younger brother,

Were close to see the nature of the true Alice at hand!

But both will never wake up from the dream that they had planned,

Forever they will wander hopelessly in Wonderland!

Kiara stopped her song and noticed that her companions were no longer beside her. She turned to see if they were behind her, and she found them standing a few yards away, with horrified looks on ther faces.

"What?" Kiara asked.

"Don't ever sing that song again," Jareth said. Kiara grinned.

"Too creepy for ya?" she said. They both nodded. "Sorry, I'll think of something else."

They caught up with her and began walking again. Kiara couldn't come up with any more songs to sing, so there was silence as they walked. Jareth was going insane! He hated silence at times like these, it made him jumpy. Especially after that weird song. It gave him chills. It was like he had heard it before, or dreamt of it or something. And he didn't like it.

Kiara sighed. She liked these guys, they were humerous to her. She loved people that made her laugh, but something told her it would take a long while to get on their good side completely. Which meant she was going to be away from not only her rightful time, but her friends as well, for a long time. She began to wonder what they were thinking about. Were they worried about her? Did they even realize she was gone? Had the even made it out okay?

She bit her lip. Now she was worried about them. Did they kill they demon? Did the demon kill them? She doubted it.

Unless they did something stupid.

Which they normally do.

Crap.

Had Yusuke gotten too cocky? Did Kuwabara say something and get them caught? Or did Hiei radomly sneeze and let their location be known- Wait...Hiei sneezing? Kiara laughed. She couldn't help it, imagining Hiei sneezing was just too comical. She stopped laughing long enough to see Jareth and Roy looking at her strangely. She laughed again.

"Are you okay?" Roy asked. Kiara nodded.

"Yeah, I was just thinkin' about my friends, and somethin' funny just popped into my head. I couldn't help it, sorry," she said, still smiling.

"Who are these friends of your's, anyway? You never mention names," Jareth asked, curious.

"Well, on the team, there's Yusuke, the crazy, crackheaded 'leader'," she said using air-quotations, "Then you have Kuwabara, the comic relief and side-kick, kind of. Um, Hiei. Where to begin?"

They had started walking again and Kiara was looking at the forest floor. Looking up, she spoke once more.

"He's a puzzle with missing pieces. He's the brooding, 'bad-ass', 'tough guy' of the group. More like 'jackass'," she added quietly. "Moving on. Kurama is my half-brother. He's the calm one, when he wants to be. Cunning thing, he is. If he wants to know something from you, he can give you one look and you spill your guts to him." She shook her head, remembering the many times Kurama pulled this trick on her.

The group got silent after a minute and Kiara's thoughts wandered back to her team and friends. She hadn't been gone from them a day and she already missed them. Kiara wondered when she would get home.

If she was even able to get home.
