Author's Note: I didn't expect it to turn out into another big crossover fic. So far I have characters from Fushigi Yugi, Gundam Wing, and Trigun amoungst my cast of characters. But this one is turning out way better than my other multi-series crossover fic. I'm so happy! Thanks for reading. And special thanks to those who reviewed. ^_^

"Ssy-yuan yu-chien," Quatre repeated the name of the book into the reciever of the phone. "I looked it up, such a book does exist..."
"So what are you callin' me for?" Duo asked.
"I want you to, um, get the book for me." Quatre whispered.
"Oh, you want me to...steal it." Duo mocked Quatre's hushed voice.
"Duo, I-"
"No, you can't back out of it now. I'm already intrigued by your story about this girl and the book. And then you imply that I have to aquire the text by my usual means..."
"Duo-" Quatre tried in vain to interupt the energetic young man on the other end of the phone.
"It's been so long since I've had a chance to use my wonderful skills of..."
"Duo!" Quatre shouted. "I just need you to pick up the book for me. I already made the proper arrangements, I was just asking since you are living on Earth..."
"Oh, well. Hey! At least I get to travel to the colony first class! Could I steal it anyway?"
"I'll see you soon, Duo." Quatre replied as he hung up the phone. "The book should arrive in a couple of hours."
Yui looked up at the young man. "I don't get it." She motioned to the stacks of papers and towards the glowing screen of a labtop.
"According to my records, Yui Hongo disappeared over 350 years ago along with her friend Miaka Yuki, and both girls were never found. You are trying to tell me that you are one of those girls." Quatre looked at her with a smile when she nodded. "The strange thing is that not only do you look like the missing girl, but your fingerprints and DNA are a perfect match. Which tells me that this story you have been telling me about this book might be true."
"Yes, but the last time we were transported to another dimension, inside of the book. This time we are not in the book at all, but in the future."
"It might be a little bit more complicated than what you think." Quatre sighed. "I found this article in an old database."
"Wait! You are saying others have gone through the book?"
"Yes, but you are the only one here." Quatre sighed and turned his attention to the labtop. "This was copied from the first page of the book just after you disappeared."
"I don't remember this. This is probably what the letters had changed to when I started to read the book." Yui turned to Quatre. "Separated by different worlds, and different times...You don't think."
Quatre looked Yui in the eye. "I'm sure of it." He turned and typed into the labtop. "This is what appeared in the book after the other five students disappeared."
"What does it mean?" Yui looked up at Quatre.
"I have an idea. You said that when you were in the Universe of the Four Gods you had to gather warriors before you could summon your God, right? I think that if we gather five warriors with the book, that you will be reunited with your friend."
"It's not that easy. In the Universe of the Four Gods the chosen warriors had symbols..." Yui interjected.
"True. But this is not the Universe of the Four Gods. And I think that there might be a reason that the book sent you here..."
"Master Quatre," a male servant called up on the intercom, "There are two young gentlemen here to see you."
"Perfect timing," Quatre replied. "Send them up to the conference room."
"Oh, and Master Trowa has just arrived." the servant added slyly.
Quatre blushed slightly. "That's fine, have him join us as well."
A young Chinese man quickly entered the room. Yui was taken aback by the young man's attitude. He scanned the room, and then locked his gaze on Yui. "This is the woman?" WuFei asked Quatre.
"She looks like one of your sisters." Another man walked in the room. His cobalt blue eyes looked at her skeptically for a second before he made a beeline to the laptop. "I assume all information is here."
Quatre beamed at the man at the computer. "Yes, and we'll soon have the original copy of the book." Quatre turned towards Yui. "Yui, the man at the computer is Heero. And the somewhat rude young man is Wufei."
"Who's he?" Yui turned and pointed to the tall man who had walked into the room unnoticed.
"You can call me Trowa." the green eyed young man nodded towards Yui.
"You wouldn't believe the trouble I went through to get this!" A young man's voice sounded from the lower level of the mansion. "Geez, I was only trying to have some fun!"
"Duo..." Heero sighed as he picked up the laptop and moved to a darker corner of the room.
"Hey guys! Well, it looks like a good old fashioned family reunion." Duo laughed as he tossed the ancient book on the table without a second thought. "There's Trowa staring out the window, and there's Wufei glaring at me, and there's Quatre trying not to stare at Trowa...and you must be one of Quatre's sisters." Duo shook Yui's hand briefly and then turned his back to her. She had to jump back to avoid the boy's extremely long braid. "And there's the forever brooding Heero! So where's the spooky girl who belongs to the book?"
Quatre chuckled softly, and reached for the book. He opened the cover and began to read the pages out loud.
"Hey Q-man, you need to cut the AC for awhile." Duo turned to look at Quatre. "Quatre?"
The blond young man was enveloped in a soft blue light. A blue symbol appeared on the center of his forehead.
"No!" Yui screamed and reached for the book. Suddenly the room was filled with a bright blue light, and all of the room's occupants disappeared... with the book.
