Chapter 1
Kurama knew it was going to be one of those days the moment he got up. It seemed like everything was going wrong. First he overslept, then he had to rush out the house to avoid being late. He was usually so punctual, but for some reason he had forgotten to set his clock. He didn't know what was wrong with him. Maybe it had to do with that strange dream he had, the previous night before. He and Hiei had been about ready to fight, when he and Hiei had been pulled into this black dimensional hole. When they had resurfaced, they were in Tokyo, or what happened to be Tokyo. Kurama shook his head. He really didn't have the time contemplate the meaning of this dream. Using his abilities from his previous life, Kurama hopped one building after another, making it to the school within two minutes. Slowing his pace once in the school, Kurama sighed. It was going to be one of those strange days; he just had this feeling.
~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~
"Oh my god! I can't believe how late I am! Grandpa, why didn't you wake me up!" Raye screamed as she hopped into her shoes. She was past late. She had only three minutes to get to school. "I can't believe how late it is. I'm starting to get like Serena." Raye hurried out her room, trampling Chad in the process. "Sorry about that Chad, but I am major late. Bye." With a cloud of dust rising behind her, Raye sped off for her high school.
She couldn't believe that she had slept that late. *Must have been that dream I had.* Raye thought. She remembered how the sky had turned black and red. And then she found two young men falling from the sky. Raye shook her head, it was more like a vision than anything else. "Oh well, I can worry about it later. If I don't pick up the pace, I'm going to have detention this afternoon."
~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~
The day went on with no further complications, but Kurama couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to come. Something was going to happen. As he was walking home from school, he stiffened with tension. The smell of a youkai was close by. Narrowing his eyes, the young youko continued to walk, feeling the youkai follow his movements. Kurama led the youkai to the seclusion of the park. "Come out, I can sense you. Is it a fight that you want?"
Kurama received maniacal laughter. From somewhere from the treetops, a figure slid out of the shadows, facing Kurama. Kurama saw that the youkai was lithe, his long lilac colored hair reached his waist as he stared at Kurama with harsh golden eyes. Kurama found the youkai's ears slightly pointed as he pushed his hair from around his shoulder. The youkai wore a dark colored, Chinese warrior outfit. A red dragon emblem wrapped around the front chest of the suit and wrapped around, ending on his left leg. The youkai wore a black pair of wristbands on each arm. On his feet, he adorned the traditional Chinese footing. "So, you discovered me, do you think you can beat me?" The youkai paced in place as he stared at Kurama.
"Who are you?" inquired Kurama.
"I am Majira. I come from the Makai to challenge you and the others that you aid. Face me," the youkai said. His eyes flashed with coldness.
Kurama sighed, he didn't want this to escalate where there may be those around who would get hurt. But if this Majira guy was dangerous as Kurama could feel he was, he would have no choice but to face him in a battle. Kurama pulled out his rose whip, just as Hiei slipped from a tree. He landed beside Kurama, with a curt smile. "Seems that we have some scum to take care of."
"Yes, it seems so, my friend." The two watched the youkai laugh.
"Do you two really expect that I am that easy to get rid of? Fools, that will be your downfall." Majira snapped his fingers. "I shall take care of you two now. That way I can take care of the other two. Without you two here, things shall be much simpler." Behind him, a black portal appeared. Kurama's eyes widened as he realized this was mirroring his dream.
Kurama held up his hand, shielding his eyes as the hole began sucking in everything around it. "Hiei, we have to get out of here now."
"That's easier said than done. If I move, I'm going to end up losing my footing, and get sucked into that thing," Hiei said with some difficulty keeping his ground. "I hope you have a plan."
"For once, I am all out of them. The only thing I can think of is-" Before Kurama could finish his sentence, his footing sipped from under him. With a curse, he snapped his rose. The petals flew off, as he swung it. He managed to get it to wrap around the trunk of a tree.
"I don't think so, Kurama!" Majira called upon a spiritual bow and arrow. Drawing the string back, he sliced through the tree trunk like a hot knife through butter. Kurama went flying back into the portal.
"KURAMA!" Without a second's hesitation, Hiei went after his friend. Majira watched with glee as the portal closed behind them, having got its target.
"Now that I have sent them to another dimension, I will find the ningen that they call Yusuke Urameshi and destroy him. After I have gotten rid of him, there will be no one who will stop me from taking over the whole Ningen Kai.
~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~
Raye sighed with obvious exhaustion. She had to have detention because she had been late for school, then she slipped and fell while going to lunch and had two people step on her. Then after that, she bombed her English test, and then she banged her hand in her locker trying to get her things to go home. "What else can go wrong today?" She just wanted to go home and kick back with some mangas. She passed by the video arcade, wondering if Serena would still be there. "More than likely ogling Darien." With another sigh, Raye passed the arcade, heading home.
Suddenly, she felt a vibe. Her instincts told her something was about to happen. If it was a monster from the Negaverse, she wouldn't be able to take it on alone. Especially the way she felt now. Just as she was pulling out her communicator, the sky turned pitch black. The wind picked up, causing her to shield her eyes from the debris. Raising her communicator up, she was about to send out a call. That was until the wind dropped abruptly and two young men fell from the sky. Raye was a bit shocked, especially when the sky cleared and everything went back to normal. Even her vibe faded. *This is just like my dream. This is way weird.* With hesitation, Raye approached the two males. "Um. . .are you. . .all right?"
The first male groaned, then stood up with some obvious soreness from his fall. The other male said nothing, but brushed himself off when he was back on his feet. The first male looked at Raye, he had long crimson hair that reached his back. He was extremely cute, with his jade colored eyes. The red haired male wore a school uniform that she had never seen before. It was almost pink, but not exactly that color.
The other male was a lot shorter than the other male. He had chaotic looking black hair that went up everywhere. His hair shone with blue highlights. But his bangs had white highlights. He wore a white bandana across his forehead, and for some strange reason, had ruby eyes. The shorter male wore a black trench coat, concealing his clothing, which Raye had a suspicion were black. He was also quite handsome, though sort of somber looking. "Excuse me," the red haired male said with politeness. "But could you tell us, where we are?"
"Um. . .Japan. Tokyo to be exact." Kurama stared at the girl. She was almost his height. She had long black hair with amethyst colored eyes. She wore a gray dress type of school uniform. The short pleated skirt was black. Her socks came up to her knees. Why had he never seen a schoolgirl uniform like this one before? The raven-haired girl stared at him for a moment before she asked a question of her own. "Who. . .are you? You aren't from around here, are you?"
"No. . .we aren't," Kurama admitted.
"Well. . .maybe I can help you. Where do you live, maybe I can help you out?" Kurama told her where he lived, but stopped, seeing the bewildered look on her face. "I don't think I can help you. I've never heard of the street, let alone the residence." The girl thought for a moment, then nodded at something. A smile appeared on her face. "You can come back to my temple with me and we can figure out for one where you belong, and why you dropped from the sky. By the way, my name is Raye. Raye Hino."
"My name is Shuuichi Minamino. But you may call me Kurama," said the red head. Kurama cleared his throat, indicating to his friend to tell Raye his name. The black haired male finally looked at her.
"My name is Hiei."
Raye smiled, then bowed. "It's nice to meet you Kurama, Hiei. Come on, my temple isn't too far from here."
~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~
"Raye, who are your friends? I've never seen them before." Raye's grandfather walked behind the three as they headed to Raye's room. "What are you three going to do? I hope you don't try anything that I won't condone."
Raye's face turned bright red as she turned to the small, old man. "They just arrived in town, grandpa! They're old friends of mine that I haven't seen in a long long time. Will you give me a break! We use to play together when we were younger. Not every guy I know has to be romantically involved with me!" (Even though Raye thought that Kurama was just so cute, and even though Hiei seemed antisocial, he was also very attractive.) The girl's grandfather looked at her with contemplation, then grinned.
"All right, Raye. I believe you." Turning to Kurama and Hiei, he nodded. "My granddaughter is such a fire bred demon at times, I would really feel sorry if either one of you were her boyfriend. But that's not for me to say. I hope you like your stay here." The old man dodged a piece of wood that the girl threw, and went about his business.
"No one asked for your opinion, anyway." Raye stopped once she saw Kurama stifling a smile. A blush colored her cheeks. "I'm sorry. My grandfather is absolutely horrid at times. Pay him no mind. He enjoys making my life hell. Come on. My room is back this way." Raye led the two to where her room was. Sliding open the door, she let Kurama and Hiei go first, then went in behind them, closing the door. She cleared room for them, and sat down across from the two. Her eyes got serious as she stared at them. "Tell me, what happened that caused you to come to my world."
"I don't really think we live in different worlds. We live on Earth too. I think we somehow shifted dimensions, and were sucked into your dimension." Kurama could tell there was something powerful about this girl, Raye. He knew Hiei could also sense it. Kurama was tempted to ask Hiei would he use the Jagan to probe her mind, but thought better against it. There was no need to scare her just yet.
"Both of you have very powerful and unusual auras. Like you're not exactly human," Raye said with some thought. "Tell me. . .about your dimension. Are there others who have auras like yours?"
"We'll tell you the truth. No reason for such foolishness," Hiei said. "We are both youkai. We come from the Makai." Raye stared at him with no comprehension of what he was talking about. Kurama saw the look in her eyes, so he decided he would explain.
"In our dimension, there are three Kais, or worlds. There's the Ningen Kai, which is this world. Also known as the Human World. Then there is the Rei Kai. Or the Spirit World, which is ran by King Yama. Then there is the Makai, where we both came from. Humans call it the Demon World. Both Hiei and myself came from there. I am a youko, or a fox spirit. Hiei is a koorime, or fire demon. The most common term for demon or apparition is youkai. Do you understand now?"
Raye's mouth gaped open. She had heard of the Spirit World, but it was only myths and folklore. She had no idea that there was an actual King Yama who decided whether or not you went to Heaven or Hell. "That is so fascinating. I. . .those were just folklore. I never knew there was an actual King Yama."
"Most of the time his son, Koenma, runs things. King Yama is very busy with a lot of things. Both Hiei, along with two others and myself help to keep the Ningen Kai safe from youkai that wish to destroy the Ningen Kai or Rei Kai. When we got sucked into the portal, we were about ready to fight a youkai that had approached me. He wants to take over the Ningen Kai," Kurama said.
"Which is why you have to get back to your dimension. I understand. I'll help you any way possible." The girl pulled out some sort of communicator. "Amy, Lita, Mina, Serena, come in. This is very urgent. Come to my temple immediately." Looking up at the two, she grinned. "In my dimension, me and my friends fight evil forces too. They're different from the ones you fight, but the goal is the same. We must fight to protect the future of this world. You'll meet them soon. I just called them on my communicator."
~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~
Serena and the others didn't know what to make of Raye's sudden call for a meeting. She said it was urgent, so the four headed to the temple immediately. They all met up there at the same time. They looked at each other to see if anyone knew what was so urgent. They found no one had a clue to why Raye had called a meeting. So the four headed up the temple steps. Raye's grandfather met them at the top of the steps. His usual cheery nature shining. "You're here to see Raye. You better watch it. She's a bit touchy with those boys here."
At the mention of boys, Lita, Mina, and Serena take off, leaving Amy to try and catch up with them. Was this what Raye had to talk about? Or was it just coincidence that there was some boys there just as she called a scout meeting. Rounding the corner, Serena, Mina, and Lita tip toed the rest of the way to Raye's room. They heard a male talking, as Raye agrees with what he said.
"Do you think they're cute?" inquired Serena.
"What does it matter to you? Aren't you and Darien going steady? It's Lita and me that don't have boyfriends. So back off, Serena," Mina hissed softly. Serena gave her friend a wide look of indignation, and begun to sniff.
"You don't have to be mean about it," Serena pouted.
"Hey you two, they'll hear us if you two don't pipe down," Lita said. They tip toed up to the door, placing their ears to the sliding door. There was silence inside. "I don't hear anything. What about you guys?" Mina and Serena also shook their heads. Just as Mina was about to say something, the door slid open, causing the three to fall inside. Standing above them, his hand on the door, was a young man with black hair that stood up everywhere. He turned ruby eyes down on them, then over to Raye. She was sighing with embarrassment.
"Are these the friends you were telling us about?" The dark haired male said.
"Yeah. Wait. . .I don't see Amy anywhere," Raye said.
"I'm right here." Amy stepped over the three bodies and walked into the room. She looked at the two young men with Raye. Mina, Lita, and Serena finally get up, to dust themselves off.
"Good, you all were able to make it." Raye turned to her guests with a smile. "These are the friends I was telling you about. The one with brown hair is Lita Kino, the one beside her with the long blond hair and bow is Mina Aino. The one with blue hair is Amy Mizuno, and the one with meatballs is Serena Tsukino. Amy, Lita, Mina, Serena, I would like you to meet Shuuichi Minamino."
"Please, just call me Kurama," smiled the red head.
"And you've just met Hiei."
"You shouldn't try to sneak around like that. We could have mistaken you for an enemy. Luckily, your friend told me you would do this. So I had no reason to draw my sword." The dark haired male went back to where he had been sitting next to the red head. "Interesting that you would be warriors."
"You told them who we were!" exclaimed Mina. Her eyes were wide with disbelief.
"Well, it's not like they would tell someone and be believed. Anyway, they need our help. It seems that they were sucked into our dimension by some sort of black hole. They need our help in returning to their own dimension before it is taken over by an evil force. We some how have to find a portal back to their world. Do you think you can do it, Amy?" Raye looked at the girl with short blue hair.
"I. . .I can try. It may take some time in locating it. If one of us were actually there, I would have a better chance in finding it. At the most, it should take me three or four days," Amy calculated.
"And what are we suppose to do until then," Hiei said.
"Well, you'll go to school. Hey, Serena, Lita, think you can find someone who will lend us two of your school's uniforms. The last thing I want is my grandfather pestering them. We can put them up as exchange students for a couple of days. I think that should work," Raye judged. What do you say, Kurama, Hiei? Think you can go with the plan. . .or do you have some objections, Hiei?" Raye saw the expression on the young man's face.
"I have to pose as a ningen. Ch."
"Oh, come on. It'll be fun. You may even enjoy it," Raye grinned. Hiei gave the girl with long black hair a look, then sighed. Raye grinned with satisfaction. "Thank you, Hiei."
"Okay, now that this is straight, can someone tell me, what's going on," Serena said, completely missing what the conversation is about. With a sigh, Raye began to explain the situation not only to Serena, but to the other scouts also. With some fascination, the other scouts listened to everything that had to be said. In the end, they decided this was indeed going to be some adventure.
~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~
Nakoruru (sigh): I was hoping to have everything done in one swoop. But no, someone had to erase all my work and I had to start from scratch. Gomen, mina-san. I didn't want you all to hear my rant, but I have to rant somewhere.
Blazer: Aren't you always ranting?
Nakoruru (glaring): Shut up, go away. (muttering) Sometimes I wondered why I created him. Some muse he is.
Blazer: I heard that.
Nakoruru: Good for you. (sarcastically) Want a cookie now?
Blazer: Watch it, I keep warning you about your sarcasm.
Nakoruru: Whatever. I have to go.
No another note, since this story is a crossover, it's kind of like an alternate. I really want this one to take place somewhere between Sailor Moon S and Sailor Moon Super S, only without the outer scouts.

"I don't think so, Kurama!" Majira called upon a spiritual bow and arrow. Drawing the string back, he sliced through the tree trunk like a hot knife through butter. Kurama went flying back into the portal.
"KURAMA!" Without a second's hesitation, Hiei went after his friend. Majira watched with glee as the portal closed behind them, having got its target.
"Now that I have sent them to another dimension, I will find the ningen that they call Yusuke Urameshi and destroy him. After I have gotten rid of him, there will be no one who will stop me from taking over the whole Ningen Kai.

"My name is Hiei."
Raye smiled, then bowed. "It's nice to meet you Kurama, Hiei. Come on, my temple isn't too far from here."
~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~
"Raye, who are your friends? I've never seen them before." Raye's grandfather walked behind the three as they headed to Raye's room. "What are you three going to do? I hope you don't try anything that I won't condone."
Raye's face turned bright red as she turned to the small, old man. "They just arrived in town, grandpa! They're old friends of mine that I haven't seen in a long long time. Will you give me a break! We use to play together when we were younger. Not every guy I know has to be romantically involved with me!" (Even though Raye thought that Kurama was just so cute, and even though Hiei seemed antisocial, he was also very attractive.) The girl's grandfather looked at her with contemplation, then grinned.

"No one asked for your opinion, anyway." Raye stopped once she saw Kurama stifling a smile. A blush colored her cheeks. "I'm sorry. My grandfather is absolutely horrid at times. Pay him no mind. He enjoys making my life hell. Come on. My room is back this way." Raye led the two to where her room was. Sliding open the door, she let Kurama and Hiei go first, then went in behind them, closing the door. She cleared room for them, and sat down across from the two. Her eyes got serious as she stared at them. "Tell me, what happened that caused you to come to my world."
"I don't really think we live in different worlds. We live on Earth too. I think we somehow shifted dimensions, and were sucked into your dimension." Kurama could tell there was something powerful about this girl, Raye. He knew Hiei could also sense it. Kurama was tempted to ask Hiei would he use the Jagan to probe her mind, but thought better against it. There was no need to scare her just yet.
"Both of you have very powerful and unusual auras. Like you're not exactly human," Raye said with some thought. "Tell me. . .about your dimension. Are there others who have auras like yours?"
"We'll tell you the truth. No reason for such foolishness," Hiei said. "We are both youkai. We come from the Makai." Raye stared at him with no comprehension of what he was talking about. Kurama saw the look in her eyes, so he decided he would explain.
"In our dimension, there are three Kais, or worlds. There's the Ningen Kai, which is this world. Also known as the Human World. Then there is the Rei Kai. Or the Spirit World, which is ran by King Yama. Then there is the Makai, where we both came from. Humans call it the Demon World. Both Hiei and myself came from there. I am a youko, or a fox spirit. Hiei is a koorime, or fire demon. The most common term for demon or apparition is youkai. Do you understand now?"
Raye's mouth gaped open. She had heard of the Spirit World, but it was only myths and folklore. She had no idea that there was an actual King Yama who decided whether or not you went to Heaven or Hell. "That is so fascinating. I. . .those were just folklore. I never knew there was an actual King Yama."
"Most of the time his son, Koenma, runs things. King Yama is very busy with a lot of things. Both Hiei, along with two others and myself help to keep the Ningen Kai safe from youkai that wish to destroy the Ningen Kai or Rei Kai. When we got sucked into the portal, we were about ready to fight a youkai that had approached me. He wants to take over the Ningen Kai," Kurama said.
"Which is why you have to get back to your dimension. I understand. I'll help you any way possible." The girl pulled out some sort of communicator. "Amy, Lita, Mina, Serena, come in. This is very urgent. Come to my temple immediately." Looking up at the two, she grinned. "In my dimension, me and my friends fight evil forces too. They're different from the ones you fight, but the goal is the same. We must fight to protect the future of this world. You'll meet them soon. I just called them on my communicator."

Serena and the others didn't know what to make of Raye's sudden call for a meeting. She said it was urgent, so the four headed to the temple immediately. They all met up there at the same time. They looked at each other to see if anyone knew what was so urgent. They found no one had a clue to why Raye had called a meeting. So the four headed up the temple steps. Raye's grandfather met them at the top of the steps. His usual cheery nature shining. "You're here to see Raye. You better watch it. She's a bit touchy with those boys here."
At the mention of boys, Lita, Mina, and Serena take off, leaving Amy to try and catch up with them. Was this what Raye had to talk about? Or was it just coincidence that there was some boys there just as she called a scout meeting. Rounding the corner, Serena, Mina, and Lita tip toed the rest of the way to Raye's room. They heard a male talking, as Raye agrees with what he said.
"Do you think they're cute?" inquired Serena.
"What does it matter to you? Aren't you and Darien going steady? It's Lita and me that don't have boyfriends. So back off, Serena," Mina hissed softly. Serena gave her friend a wide look of indignation, and begun to sniff.
"You don't have to be mean about it," Serena pouted.
"Hey you two, they'll hear us if you two don't pipe down," Lita said. They tip toed up to the door, placing their ears to the sliding door. There was silence inside. "I don't hear anything. What about you guys?" Mina and Serena also shook their heads. Just as Mina was about to say something, the door slid open, causing the three to fall inside. Standing above them, his hand on the door, was a young man with black hair that stood up everywhere. He turned ruby eyes down on them, then over to Raye. She was sighing with embarrassment.
"Are these the friends you were telling us about?" The dark haired male said.
"Yeah. Wait. . .I don't see Amy anywhere," Raye said.
"I'm right here." Amy stepped over the three bodies and walked into the room. She looked at the two young men with Raye. Mina, Lita, and Serena finally get up, to dust themselves off.
"Good, you all were able to make it." Raye turned to her guests with a smile. "These are the friends I was telling you about. The one with brown hair is Lita Kino, the one beside her with the long blond hair and bow is Mina Aino. The one with blue hair is Amy Mizuno, and the one with meatballs is Serena Tsukino. Amy, Lita, Mina, Serena, I would like you to meet Shuuichi Minamino."
"Please, just call me Kurama," smiled the red head.
"And you've just met Hiei."
"You shouldn't try to sneak around like that. We could have mistaken you for an enemy. Luckily, your friend told me you would do this. So I had no reason to draw my sword." The dark haired male went back to where he had been sitting next to the red head. "Interesting that you would be warriors."
"You told them who we were!" exclaimed Mina. Her eyes were wide with disbelief.
"Well, it's not like they would tell someone and be believed. Anyway, they need our help. It seems that they were sucked into our dimension by some sort of black hole. They need our help in returning to their own dimension before it is taken over by an evil force. We some how have to find a portal back to their world. Do you think you can do it, Amy?" Raye looked at the girl with short blue hair.
"I. . .I can try. It may take some time in locating it. If one of us were actually there, I would have a better chance in finding it. At the most, it should take me three or four days," Amy calculated.
"And what are we suppose to do until then," Hiei said.
"Well, you'll go to school. Hey, Serena, Lita, think you can find someone who will lend us two of your school's uniforms. The last thing I want is my grandfather pestering them. We can put them up as exchange students for a couple of days. I think that should work," Raye judged. What do you say, Kurama, Hiei? Think you can go with the plan. . .or do you have some objections, Hiei?" Raye saw the expression on the young man's face.
"I have to pose as a ningen. Ch."
"Oh, come on. It'll be fun. You may even enjoy it," Raye grinned. Hiei gave the girl with long black hair a look, then sighed. Raye grinned with satisfaction. "Thank you, Hiei."
"Okay, now that this is straight, can someone tell me, what's going on," Serena said, completely missing what the conversation is about. With a sigh, Raye began to explain the situation not only to Serena, but to the other scouts also. With some fascination, the other scouts listened to everything that had to be said. In the end, they decided this was indeed going to be some adventure.

Nakoruru (sigh): I was hoping to have everything done in one swoop. But no, someone had to erase all my work and I had to start from scratch. Gomen, mina-san. I didn't want you all to hear my rant, but I have to rant somewhere.
Blazer: Aren't you always ranting?
Nakoruru (glaring): Shut up, go away. (muttering) Sometimes I wondered why I created him. Some muse he is.
Blazer: I heard that.
Nakoruru: Good for you. (sarcastically) Want a cookie now?
Blazer: Watch it, I keep warning you about your sarcasm.
Nakoruru: Whatever. I have to go.
