Summary: What happens when you put the Tsubasa gang in the RG Veda world? Insanity and Chaos are status quo and nothing out of the ordinary. But when Sakura's feather is believed to be in the hands of a tyrant, these two groups, literally from different worlds, must work together to defy fate and save this world and themselves. EDIT: Forgot the pairings, SyaoranxSakura, Little bit of KuroganexSoma, and if you tilt your head and squint RyuuxSyaoran.

P.S. Flames will burn in Hell. Constructive Criticism only please.
At the dawn of creation, the place between the sky and the earth was under the gods' rule. Though humans had no power, they lived in unchanging peace under the king of the gods, Tentei. The land was limitless and richly painted with every color, and the sky was high and clear. Even the Ashuras, the strongest guardian warriors of Tentei, enjoyed a tranquil break from the bloodshed. That is, until the dark cloud of war descended upon the land… One of Tentai's military commanders, Taishakuten single-handedly raised a rebel army and stormed the Royal Palace to raise the severed head of the god king before all. It was the beginning of a turbulent age. This is where our story begins.
Well, actually, 300 years later, in a glen in the wilderness. That's where four humans and bunny thing fell out of the sky. To anyone watching, it would appear they had literally come out of nowhere. The man on the bottom was tall and muscular, dressed in black and red, and he was clearly unhappy with the situation. On top of him was a tall skinny man with blonde hair and blue eyes, dressed in a fluffy white coat, and a large grin on his face. On top of him was a boy with brown hair and amber eyes, he wore a black sleeveless turtleneck, khaki pants, and a cloak and goggles hung round his neck. The girl on top of him wore a pale pink off-the-shoulder shirt, pants and overskirt, her short hair was auburn and her eyes were emerald green. The small bunny-thing bounced off the girl's lap to the ground and faced the pile.
"Welcome to a brand-new world!" It squeaked in a high voice.
The man in black suddenly blew up, throwing off the others. He grabbed the white thing and stated squishing it. "You little fur-ball! All the practice you get and that's the best landing you can do!?"
"Fai help! Kuro-poo's squishing Mokona!" Mokona squealed giggling.
"Now, now, Kurggy." The blonde man, Fai, said. "Do you really have to so mean to Mokona? Syaoran and Sakura aren't troubled by the landing." He gestured to the kids. Syaoran was helping Princess Sakura stand.
Kurogane stared at him. "You wanna use the kid and the princess as examples? You're running out of arguments mage!"
"Are you alright Princess?" Syaoran asked the girl, ignoring the bickering in the background.
"I'm okay." She answered smiling. She looked around. "I wonder what world we're in now."
"Beats me." He turned to Mokona, who was being ground between Kurogane's fists. "Mokona, do you sense a feather here?"
The three turned and looked at him. Mokona wriggled out of Kurogane's grip and bounced up to Syaoran's shoulder.
"Mokona senses a lot of powers. Really strong powers." Its ears drooped. "Mokona can't tell if any of them are the feather."
"'Powers'? Like the secret arts in Chu'nyan's world?" He asked.
"No." Mokona shook its head. "Back then, there was only one other power that several people could use. Here, there are many powers and who knows how many people can use them!"
It's alright Mokona." Sakura said, gently picking up the being. "We'll just have to look, that's all."
Kurogane suddenly tensed. He gripped Sohi at his side and looked to the trees. "We're being watched."
No sooner said then, "Twin moon leaves, fly!" A pair of sharp whizzing things shot out of the forest heading straight for them. Kurogane drew his sword and fended off one; while Syaoran pulled Sakura and Mokona down to avoid the other. They flew over the groups heads in to the hands of a dark woman with black hair dressed in black who was standing on a tree branch.
"Soma?!" Kurogane stared at the woman, and then scowled. "Third time. Third blasted time I meet the woman! I'm getting tired of her not knowing me!"
Before he could say anything else, another woman, two men and a child burst out of the trees. The woman was a complete opposite to the one who looked like Soma. Her skin, clothes, even hair were white. On her shoulder was a large, angry looking white bird. The man beside her was taller, with long black hair, dressed in brown robes and holding an ornate sword. The other man, or boy depending on perspective, was Syaoran's height with brown hair and green eyes, in a knee-length brown robe, belted in white. In his hands was a sword more or less as big as he was; and he looked strongly like Ryuu-o. The child wore what looked like a white dress with a black belt; his hair was black and held up with a gold ornament. The most startling feature wasn't the pointy ears, but the golden eyes that looked out at the group.
"Someone wanna tell me what's going on?" Kurogane growled as the groups opposed each other.
"Seems to me, we're under attack. And we just to here." Fai answered with a grin.
"I can see that mage! No need to point out the obvious!"
The white woman put her hands together and slowly pulled them apart to reveal a ball of blue energy. "Karura, Divine wing!" The bird flew up and absorbed the energy. It flew at them looking more like white fire than a bird. Syaoran dew Hein and quickly raised it up to block. The bird smashed into the blade, forcing Syaoran back. Realizing he couldn't hold it or force it back, he shifted and deflected the bird towards the large rock on the far side of the glen. The rock smashed where the bird hit, going all the way through.
"Well, that's new." Fai said calmly, surveying the damage. "Looks like we might be in trouble."
"If you'd used your magic, it might actually help magician." Kurogane mocked. "But you're still not gonna, are you." Fai just grinned.
On the other side, the Ryuu-o look-alike frowned. "Lord Yasha, these guys don't look like normal soldiers. What general are they under?"
Yasha, the tall man with black hair didn't answer, but stared at the strangers suspiciously. Lady Karura, the white woman, shifted back to them, not that she'd failed. "Whoever they are, they're not Taishakuten's normal lackeys. We need to be careful Lord Ryuu."
"Like Hell!" ignoring Karura's words, Ryuu charged out. "Sea dragon wave crush!" A dragon of water shot out of the sword and headed straight for them. Fai grabbed Sakura and Mokona and jumped out of the way. Kurogane flipped up over one of the larger remains of the rock, but Syaoran jumped up and over the dragon, ringing his sword down on Ryuu's. Ryuu's sword was larger then Hein by far but its blunt edge couldn't do much against Hein's. They were caught in a stalemate, pushing against each other hard.
Soma, who'd finally reappeared, did so near Fai, throwing her moon leaves at him. With her being out of reach, all he could do was dodge. "Princess, stay here with Mokona." He jumped back again out of the way of the sharp flying things.
Kurogane, finally having enough looked at Yasha and scowled. Yasha met his gaze levelly and they attacked at the same time. "Hama-Ryu-o-jin!" "Yama, Heavenly wolf blade!" The attacks hit each other and negated. Out of the smoke Kurogane and Yasha charge and clashed.
Ryuu felt something behind him and didn't even have to look to know who it was. "Ashura, get back! You know you're useless without the Shura Sword!"
"I can handle myself just fine, thank you!"
The child ran past Syaoran and he didn't dare turn around. Ryuu suddenly pulled back, trying to make him stumble, then swept at Syaoran's legs. He jumped and kicked the flat of the blade, forcing Ryuu's are wide as he back flipped to gain some distance between them. Their blade met again. Syaoran heard Sakura's cry as he clashed. He risked a look over his shoulder to see her trying to escape the golden flames the child was creating with his hands.
"Princess!" With strength born of fear, he shoved Ryuu back and dashed off, the larger sword coming down just behind his feet. Syaoran reached Sakura and pulled her down just as the flames come again, searing Syaoran's back as he and Sakura hit the ground; he grimaced in pain.
"Syaoran!" He stood slowly, protectively in front of her and she saw where the fire had burned his shoulders and his clothes and back.
"Princess, find somewhere safe to hide." She looked at him for a few seconds before running.
The child stared at Syaoran but Ryuu just attacked. "Neptune formation strike!"
I've had enough." Syaoran's sword finally ignited into flame and gut through the water dragons creating steam. Ryuu's eyes widened.
Sakura tried to run behind the rubble to hide but Karura appeared, ready to fight. Fai was still dodging Soma's attacks while Kurogane and Yasha were pretty equal in strength with their swords. Syaoran was dealing with 2-on-1 against Ryuu's water and Ashura's flame. Sakura looked up at the woman and pleaded.
"Please, stop them! I don't known who you think we are but we're not! We've only just arrived in this country, why would you attack us?!"
Karura narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean you just arrived here? Tenkai is isolated as heaven. Did you come from the human world?"
"No! We came for a different world, many different worlds. We're travelers and we're not here to fight!"
Karura stared at her a moment. Sakura heard a loud crash and looked to see Syaoran had been blown back against a rock. Before she could say anything though, Karura grabbed her arm and pulled her into the center of the melee. "STOP!!"
It was more or less effective. Everyone turned and stared at the two. Except Ryuu that is. His last attack was still forming and then broke apart, drenching him, Ashura, and Syaoran completely.
"Ryuu! What'd you do that fore?" Ashura yelled at him
"Everyone listen." Karura interrupted. "These people are not part of Taishakuten's army."
"Wait a sec." Ryuu said shouldering his sword. "How do you know that?"
"Garuda." Karura said simply, gesturing to the bird. "He confirmed what this girl said. They quite literally appeared from nowhere."
"Alright." Soma said slowly. She turned to Fai. "But who are you and how did you get her?"
Mokona jumped out of Sakura's arms and up to Fai's shoulder. "Where Mokona's from, it's common courtesy to give your own name first before asking another."
Soma blinked at Mokona. "Very well, I am Soma, for the Soma tribe."
"Lady Karura of the Karura tribe."
"Lord Ryuu, King of the Dragon tribe.
"Lord Yasha."
"Ashura."
They introduced themselves, then looked expectantly at the newcomers.
"I am Fai D. Fluorite, humble magician at your service. Please call me Fai."
"I'm Princess Sakura of Clow."
"My name is Syaoran."
"Kurogane."
"And I'm Mokona Madoki! But you can call me Mokona."
"What is it?" Ashura asked coming to look closely at Mokona.
"Mokona is Mokona!" It hopped into Ashura's hands and extended a paw to him. "Shake!"
While the others were gathered around Mokona, Kurogane approached Syaoran who was sitting/leaning against the rock he'd hit.
"Hey, kid, can you stand?"
Syaoran looked up and nodded. "I'm fine."
Kurogane scoffed. "You're definition of 'fine' needs word, kid." He kneeled down next to him. Syaoran's left leg seemed to in the worst shape, most at the ankle. "You twisted your ankle. Add that to you bruises and burns on your back and it adds up to you not being 'fine'"
"I'm sorry." Syaoran mumbled, looking away.
The older man sighed. "Stay put. There're some questions that need answering." Syaoran nodded as Kurogane stood up and walked off to be replaced with Sakura running to him.
"Syaoran are you alright?"
"I'm fine Princess. Don't worry about me."
"'Fraid you're not quite as alright as you say." A voice caused them to look up at Ryuu and Soma. Ryuu knelt down in front of him. "Ashura and I did quite a number on you. You said you're name is Syaoran, right? I'm sorry. Being a rebel against the god king, it's kill first ask questions later." Ryuu suddenly grinned at him. You guys coming from another world actually explains a lot. Your clothes for one. Your flaming sword for another. The only people who can use fire are the Ashura tribe and Mahyah flame. But even they couldn't use fire on a sword. You're strong though, to hold your own against the two of us."
Syaoran stared at him, blinked, then chuckled.
"Why are you laughing? I'm being serious!"
"I know, Syaoran said as the laugher subsided. "It's just, you're so much like the other 'you' that I've met."
Ryuu blinked and Syaoran decided to elaborate while Soma set about checking his injuries with Sakura's help. "When we traveled to certain worlds, we met people who we knew in a different world. Living in different tie and environments, they're different from when we knew them before. We met you and Soma in a country called Oto. You wee partnered as Oni hunters."
"Really?" Ryuu's eyes were wide with curiosity. "What are Oni? What I any good? Did we fight? What is this country of Oto?"
Syaoran did his best to explain with help from Sakura, and answered Ryuu's and Soma's question. He also explained meeting him again in Piffle and meeting Yasha and Ashura on the moon castle. Meanwhile, Kurogane and Fai were doing the same for Karura, Yasha and Ashura.
"Hey, Syaoran, why are you guys traveling from world to world?" Ryuu asked.
"Princess Sakura's memories were scattered across time and space in the form of feathers. The feathers have a power of their own and have caused changes to various worlds. We're traveling to get them back. We had to the pay the Dimensional Witch's price to accept Mokona, since it's what transports us across dimensions."
"Ah, so that's why I sense her magic." A voice in the shadows of the woods caused everyone to look. It was a tall man with purple hair and eyes in loose white robes.
"Kujaku!" Ashura ran to the man and hugged him. Kujaku picked him up and stepped behind Ryuu, in front of Syaoran.
"You know the Dimensional Witch?" Syaoran asked suspiciously.
"Not personally, but I've heard of her. And I've seen her magic before."
"Yay! Yuuko's famous!!" Mokona hopped up and down on Ashura's shoulder.
"And this must be a Mokona. Never seen one before."
Kurogane grabbed the bouncing being out of the air. "Stop dancing you little cream puff."
"Take that back! Mokona's not a pastry!"
"Why are you here Kujaku?" Yasha demanded, taking Ashura into his arms.
"Do I need a reason to wanna see this cute little piggy?" Kujaku teased Ashura, who protested vehemently. "But the real reason is: Koumouten's men are headed this way. Lead by the god of fire, Aguni. Unless you wanna fight, I suggest you-"
"So this is where you lowly rebels hid!" A tall, dark woman with red hair and armor stood on an overhang. Behind her was an army of men.
"-leave. Too late." Kujaku' smile never wavered but Syaoran and Ryuu climbed to their feet and Syaoran stood in front of Sakura.
"Seems that more rebels have joined. Your beautiful heads will adorn my master's wall! Your deaths will be swift and glorious!"
"Oh for cryin' out loud!" Ryuu exclaimed. "The gods of the west are seriously lacking in quality villains. First Varuna, then Vauha, now this crazy lady."
"Are they all this … eccentric?" Syaoran asked.
"Oh, they may look powerful and intelligent, but one they open their mouths… well you have no idea pal. Hope you can still fight."
Aguni raised her fist and brought it down right at them. "Attack!"
And thus it began. The troops had them surrounded and swung swords axes, maces. Others stood with shields to protect them and their comrades against Kurogane's and Yasha's swords.
"Remember Kuro-puu," Fai teased while fending off attackers with a long staff he'd acquired. "You can't kill them 'cause of that curse."
"Who said I have to kill'em?" Kurogane retorted. "All I have to do is knock'em into next week!" True to his word the precise swing of his sword sent 20-30 men flying back towards the trees; most stayed on the ground, those who could got up and ran. "See, no problem." He turned around and bashed the hilt of Sohi on the back of the head of one of the men attacking Fai.
On the other side of the battle, Syaoran stood in front of Sakura and kept fending off freaks with Hein until 5 ganged up on him He shoved one back with his sword and flipped over two more and kicked them in the back of their heads. He brought his sword up to meet theirs and he suddenly realized that they meant to separate him from Sakura, and it worked. Soldiers were surrounding her as she tried to back away from them. He tried to push through the soldiers and reach her.
Before he could get there, Ryuu cam running out of nowhere and blew them away with one swing of his sword. "You alright, Princess?" Sakura nodded. "Good, stay behind me."
Good new: Sakura's safe. Bad news: Syaoran's not. Syaoran got distracted and was now absolutely vulnerable to attack which tow goons were doing now. One slashed at his middle. Syaoran brought Hein up just in time for a one- handed block. The second, taking his que from the first, cut down on Syaoran, a deep line from his left shoulder diagonally to his right hip, scraping collar bone, ribs and hip bone. Syaoran's eyes widened as his blood splattered out. He fell backwards and the last thing he saw the leering faces of the soldiers above him.
"Syaoran!"
