***Full Summary: This is a Rurouni Kenshin, Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon,
Card Captor Sakura, and InuYasha crossover.
Long ago, a priestess was killed in a fight with a soul splitting demon. When she died, her soul was spilt into two, one side good, the other side evil. Each soul went to another dimension and became another person. When the person grew old and died, their soul split again and left for another dimension. As time went on and the soul kept splitting, the good side grew more powerful. But so did the evil side. Finally, the evil side awoke and started, with amazing power, destroying everything. Dimension after dimension was destroyed. A messenger from a dimension called Haven is sent to find the five most powerful being from the last twenty dimensions. And with their help, hopefully awake the only thing that can destroy this new horror called Death, Life (ya I know, a little long).

Chapter 1
Kana's Letter
Koroko quickly jogged up the stairs leading to her family's shrine. Her deep blue eyes she had inherited from her mother scanned the area for her little sister, Kana.
One year after Koroko was born, her mother, Kaoru, gave birth to her little sister Kana. She had been premature but with the local doctor's help, Megumi, she survived. Now Koroko was 15 and Kana 14.
A letter clutched in her fingers, she reached the top of the shrine only to see a little hut off to the side. Next to it in a herb garden was a young woman, a little boy prancing around her.
"Good morning Tsubame! Have you seen my sister?" Koroko asked the woman who turned and smiled when she saw her.
"Oh hello Koroko. Sorry but I haven't seen your sister."
"Oh okay. where's Yahiko? Maybe he's seen her."
"Yahiko's working at the Akeabeko right now. If you're going to go see him, could you take Shinya with you. His father needs to start taking care of him more," Tsubame said chuckling.
"Not what you expected?"
"No, Yahiko is everything I dreamed of and more but sometimes."
"Heh, I know. See ya later Tsubame. Come on Shinya, let's go see daddy!" Koroko said as she picked up the little boy who's spiky hair looked just like his fathers. She waved good-bye to Tsubame and headed back down the stairs and started downtown to the Ackebeko.
When they reached the Akebeko, they found Koroko's father, Kenshin, chatting with the now young man Yahiko. Shinya jumped down from Koroko's shoulders and ran and sat on his fathers lap. Laughing, Koroko went and sat on Kenshin's lap.
"Poppa, whatcha doing?" she asked in a baby like voice. Her father pushed her off his lap and she landed on the floor. He laughed as she turned around and frowned.
"You're too big for me now Koroko."
Koroko turned to Shinya who was laughing his head off and said, "No fair! Shinya can still sit on Yahiko's lap! Why can't I sit on yours?"
"You're 15 Koroko! Why would you want to sit on my lap?"
"I don't know." Koroko replied, puzzled. Then she remembered why she had even been looking for Yahiko.
"Oh ya, Yahiko, Dad, have either of you seen Kana? She got a letter and Mom sent me to give it to her. But I can't seem to find her anywhere. Do you know where she is?"
While Kenshin was perplexed, Yahiko answered her question simply, "I saw her with Megumi. Seems, unlike you, she wants to become a doctor. She was also visiting Tsubame for herbs the other day."
"Kana at Sano's! Kana at Sano's!" Shinya cried happily.
Koroko smiled and stood up, "Well, I guess I'll head over to the clinic." She turned to leave but Kenshin stopped her.
"Koroko what do you want to be when you get older? You excel at martial arts and swordsmanship but what do you want to DO?"
"You should know the answer to that Dad! I want to be a swordsman! I want to be able to protect my friends and family just like you, Yahiko, and Sano do!" and with that she turned around and left, saying hello to Ms. Tae before leaving. Yahiko and Kenshin watched her leave.
"She's pure. Pure and innocent," Kenshin murmured.
"Just like Kaoru, she can brighten anyone and has the biggest heart I've ever seen," agreed Yahiko.
"Even though she was born after the fight with Ausklang, she's got a pure heart. she'll grow up to be a great warrior, even though she's a woman."
'I'm never gonna find her!' Koroko thought as she pushed her way through the crowed street. Even though she had been living in Tokyo for her whole life, she still managed to get lost every now and then. Finally, she spotted the clinic.
When she reached it, she saw Sano with his two kids Chihiro and Sento and Megumi in the background with Kana. Koroko quickly walked up but was tackled by Sento. She wasn't surprised. His father had trained him well and his name meaning combat fit him perfectly. Chihiro laughed and jumped on too and they both tried to keep Koroko pinned down. Megumi and Kana glanced over and each burst into laughter at the struggling girl. Sano stood up and walked over to her side, a fishbone sticking out of his mouth.
He grinned, "What's wrong Koroko? Are these two stronger than you?" The two weren't strong, just heavy. And with them squirming all over her, she just had trouble getting up. But she, like her mother used to, thought up a quick remark.
"What are you teaching these kids Sano? How to wrestle?" He laughed as he bent down and picked each of the kids up.
"Aw, daddy. you're ruining our fun!" cried little Sento. He was a spit image of his father while Chihiro, who loved her father more than anything looked identical to her mother, Megumi. And, she was also very shy (other than when Koroko was around) so she didn't complain as her father set them down.
"So what do you want?" Sano asked as he helped Koroko up.
"Not that it's any of your business, but I was looking for my sister. Yahiko told me he had seen her here." She got up and dusted herself off then walked over to her sister and good friend Megumi. But when she got closer, she was astonished at what she saw. She turned around and took a closer look at Sano who had followed her to his wife and he good friend's daughter. Sano noticed her usual smile fall and knew she had noticed it. Gray. Koroko looked at Kana who's head was bent. She had seen it too. Koroko looked at Megumi and Sano with sadness in her eyes.
Sano sighed, "Don't look at us like that. It. we know." Gray had crept into their hair. Megumi's once pure black hair had several strips of gray running through it while Sano's spikes had a tinge of gray as well. Koroko knew they were getting old but she didn't know they were THAT old.
"So Kana," Koroko said as she turned towards her sister. She hated the look Sano and Megumi were giving her, "You got a letter. Mom sent me to give it to ya."
Even though Kana was one year younger than Koroko, she sometimes had a mind and the looks of someone much older. Unlike Koroko who had gotten her mother's deep blue eyes and their father's fiery red hair, Kana was the complete opposite. She was granted Kenshin's lavender eyes and Kaoru's beautiful black hair. And while Koroko let her hair grow out to her knees, Kana had her hair cut short against her face. She planned to become a doctor like Megumi and Tsubame (who had learned everything from Megumi a few years back). She did know her way around her mother's sword fighting style, the Kamiya Kasshin-ryu, but had stopped there while her sister had even convinced Sano to teach her martial arts and both Yahiko and Kenshin to teach her just a little. Kana studied hard and thought before acting. Of course, like everything else, her sister was different. What was strange about Kana getting a letter was that she didn't know anybody outside of Tokyo. She had heard many stories about her parents friends in Kyoto but had never met them. Koroko had but was way too little to remember.
"Who's it from?" she asked.
"We didn't open it and it doesn't say on the front," Koroko said as she handed the letter to her sister.
"Well go ahead and read it Kana!" Sano urged her as he rounded up the two pups and gave Sento to his mother and held his own little Chihiro. As Kana opened the letter, Chihiro curled up in her father's lap and her mother patted her head then Sento's. Kana scanned the letter herself and when she finished reading it, she gasped.
"What's wrong?" asked Koroko at Kana's pale face.
"Get Dad. and Yahiko, Tsubame, Mom, and call those people in Kyoto," she said as she tore the letter into many little pieces.
"Why? What's wrong?" pushed Koroko.
"Just get them. We've got a problem."
About ten minutes later, Kenshin, Kaoru, Tsubame, Yahiko, Megumi, Sano, and Koroko surrounded a shaking Kana. Kaoru went forward and wrapped her arms around Kana's back like she did when she was little. Their friends from Kyoto, Misao, Aoshi, and a young girl they met before Koroko was born named Maylo had been mailed a letter and were on their way.
"What's wrong Kana?" asked Kaoru.
"Death. death is among us." she murmured.
"What are you talking about Kana? Is someone going to die?" asked Tsubame.
"No. death to all. death to all in the universe."
A few days later, Miaso, Aoshi, and Maylo arrived. Miaso and Koroko became friends instantly even though Miaso was much older than the faint memories that Koroko had. Miaso and Aoshi had gotten married a few years after they went back to Kyoto and her parents had gone but Koroko was still to little and Kana had just been born.
A few hours after they arrived Kana called everyone together except Maylo who Kana had taken a disliking to ever since she arrived. As they all gathered around, Kana made a small pit and lit a fire. She said they had to wait until sunset to start.
"I need to go get Shinya," said Tsubame, standing up, "He gets very grouchy if he doesn't get either his dinner or enough sleep."
"I wonder who he got that from," giggled Kaoru. Yahiko didn't seem to get it though.
"I also have to feed Chihiro and Sento," added Megumi. Suddenly, Kaoru had an idea.
"Why don't you two bring the kids over here. Koroko can help you. They can stay here and eat and then if this thing takes all night they can spend the night. We've got plenty of room!"
"Good idea koiishi. Koroko, will you help Megumi and Tsubame get the children?" asked Kenshin as he headed to the kitchen, "I'll get some dinner ready for when they get here."
"Okay," agreed Koroko as she, Megumi, and Tsubame headed over to the clinic to pick up Chihiro and Sento before heading to the Akebeko to get Shinya.
Once everyone was fed and the children were with Dr. Genzai in the dojo, everyone's attention was back on Kana. Finally, she began.
"She'll be here soon." Kana murmured, turning towards the gate.
"Who? Who's going to be here soon?" Kenshin asked. He may not have his sword anymore but he was skilled with a normal one. He, Yahiko, and Sano, each with their own weapon, headed towards the gate. Suddenly, light poured down on Kana as her eyes became clear. They spun around to see Kana floating up before being enveloped in light. The next second, Kana was gone. In her place, however, was a young woman with long sky blue hair. Her slim figure was set in a pink kimono and as she softly landed, Kana appeared in her father's arms.
"Hello everyone! How's it going?! I'm so glad I get to meet you all! Now let's get started shall we?" the woman said in a cheery light voice. Everyone stared at her, "Hmm? What's that matter?"
"You!" Koroko cried, "Who are you and what did you do to my sister?!"
"Oh nothing really. I just used her to let me into this world. Oh dear. I much prefer my old uniform. I guess these change when I do. ::sigh:: you don't know how hard it is trying to get into this world."
"You still haven't answered Koroko's question," injected Sano, "Who are you? And where did you come from?"
The woman sighed again and sat down, "You might want to take a seat. This could be a shocker." After everyone sat down in a circle surrounding the mysterious woman, she began, "The name's Shisha. I'm the messenger of the dimensions. My job is to tell the other dimensions about approaching danger," Shisha looked at her audience. Plain confusion was completely covering their faces.
She sighed, 'This is going to be harder than I thought,' she thought as she tried to think up a way to explain who she was to them.
"Alright. I'll make this a simple as I possibly can. Out their in outer space." she pointed to the sky which helped over half of them and then continued, "There are other. other. worlds out there. Understand?" a few nods from Kenshin, Yahiko, and half of Megumi's family (Sano didn't believe a word) while the others looked a little confused but got the point. She continued, "I am from one of them called Haven. These worlds are called dimensions. My job is to go to other dimensions and help the people who live there if they are having problems."
"So," interrupted Yahiko, "if that's true, then you came here because we're in trouble? I ask this because we aren't. I mean, do you know what will happen in the future?"
"No, only some people from the dimension called Dragon Ball Z can see the future. But that's the reason why I'm here. They're dead. All of them except one. This man with no name was able to get to Haven and tell us what had happened. However, he then died because our medical facilities weren't as. good as the ones in his world."
"So what happened to everyone from his world?" Aoshi asked, breaking his on silence as he was meditating.
"A creature known as Death destroyed everything. Over half of the dimension is gone. The only thing that is left is." pulling out a notepad from her kimono sleeve, "Two planets. one called Namek and the other. each dimension has it's own Earth and that's what survived."
"Why didn't Death destroy these planets too?" asked Tsubame.
"Like how you guys protect this world, they have protectors too. They are called the Z fighters. Don't ask me why. These people are doing everything they can to stop death but it isn't working too well."
"And so why are you telling us this? Why aren't you there helping them?" asked Miaso.
"Because Death's heading here too. She actually already got her spy here and after she finishes off that other dimension, she coming here." Silence. She figured that's what she would get. She sighed, then reached the point of no return.
"I need you guys. You've got to come to me. Out of all of the dimensions, there are only around twenty left. And my job is to get the five most powerful ones to help destroy Death."
"And, you're saying." Megumi whispered in disbelief.
"Yep. You guys ranked in fourth. So, you are to come with me to Haven. I have to pick the other people who passed up first. Then our job will be to find Death's next target."
"And how are you supposed to get to the other dimensions?" asked Koroko.
"I'll take you. You won't need anything."
"But what about the children? And Maylo? What shall we do with them? Are they to come with us too?" asked Kaoru as she stood up.
"I need." pulling out her notebook again, she read off the names, "Kenshin, Kaoru, Koroko, Yahiko, Tsubame, Sano, Megumi, Misao, and Aoshi."
"What about me?" asked Kana.
"I need everyone who was in the Ausklang encounter. Kana, your name is not on my list."
"I hadn't been born yet."
"Then you can't go. I need everyone who has met Maylo."
"I've met Maylo!" Kana protested while Kenshin asked, "Why Maylo?"
"Because she's Death's spy. She doesn't know it but she has the evil soul in her. We'll be taking her with us and the other evil souls from the other worlds," she said to Kenshin. She then turned to Kana and answered her question, "You may have met Maylo but you did just a few minutes ago."
"She's got to come! She can really help! She's very strong and is very smart!" Koroko cried, taking Kana's side. Shisha stared at the two sisters. You could easily tell they were related and who their parent's were. She sighed and smiled.
"I give in. She can come. Now, we've got a short amount of time. I want someone to take care of the kids and someone bring Maylo to me. It's just about time to go."

Chapter 1
Kana's Letter
Koroko quickly jogged up the stairs leading to her family's shrine. Her deep blue eyes she had inherited from her mother scanned the area for her little sister, Kana.
One year after Koroko was born, her mother, Kaoru, gave birth to her little sister Kana. She had been premature but with the local doctor's help, Megumi, she survived. Now Koroko was 15 and Kana 14.
A letter clutched in her fingers, she reached the top of the shrine only to see a little hut off to the side. Next to it in a herb garden was a young woman, a little boy prancing around her.
"Good morning Tsubame! Have you seen my sister?" Koroko asked the woman who turned and smiled when she saw her.
"Oh hello Koroko. Sorry but I haven't seen your sister."
"Oh okay. where's Yahiko? Maybe he's seen her."
"Yahiko's working at the Akeabeko right now. If you're going to go see him, could you take Shinya with you. His father needs to start taking care of him more," Tsubame said chuckling.
"Not what you expected?"
"No, Yahiko is everything I dreamed of and more but sometimes."
"Heh, I know. See ya later Tsubame. Come on Shinya, let's go see daddy!" Koroko said as she picked up the little boy who's spiky hair looked just like his fathers. She waved good-bye to Tsubame and headed back down the stairs and started downtown to the Ackebeko.
When they reached the Akebeko, they found Koroko's father, Kenshin, chatting with the now young man Yahiko. Shinya jumped down from Koroko's shoulders and ran and sat on his fathers lap. Laughing, Koroko went and sat on Kenshin's lap.
"Poppa, whatcha doing?" she asked in a baby like voice. Her father pushed her off his lap and she landed on the floor. He laughed as she turned around and frowned.
"You're too big for me now Koroko."
Koroko turned to Shinya who was laughing his head off and said, "No fair! Shinya can still sit on Yahiko's lap! Why can't I sit on yours?"
"You're 15 Koroko! Why would you want to sit on my lap?"
"I don't know." Koroko replied, puzzled. Then she remembered why she had even been looking for Yahiko.
"Oh ya, Yahiko, Dad, have either of you seen Kana? She got a letter and Mom sent me to give it to her. But I can't seem to find her anywhere. Do you know where she is?"
While Kenshin was perplexed, Yahiko answered her question simply, "I saw her with Megumi. Seems, unlike you, she wants to become a doctor. She was also visiting Tsubame for herbs the other day."
"Kana at Sano's! Kana at Sano's!" Shinya cried happily.
Koroko smiled and stood up, "Well, I guess I'll head over to the clinic." She turned to leave but Kenshin stopped her.
"Koroko what do you want to be when you get older? You excel at martial arts and swordsmanship but what do you want to DO?"
"You should know the answer to that Dad! I want to be a swordsman! I want to be able to protect my friends and family just like you, Yahiko, and Sano do!" and with that she turned around and left, saying hello to Ms. Tae before leaving. Yahiko and Kenshin watched her leave.
"She's pure. Pure and innocent," Kenshin murmured.
"Just like Kaoru, she can brighten anyone and has the biggest heart I've ever seen," agreed Yahiko.
"Even though she was born after the fight with Ausklang, she's got a pure heart. she'll grow up to be a great warrior, even though she's a woman."

But when she got closer, she was astonished at what she saw. She turned around and took a closer look at Sano who had followed her to his wife and he good friend's daughter. Sano noticed her usual smile fall and knew she had noticed it. Gray. Koroko looked at Kana who's head was bent. She had seen it too. Koroko looked at Megumi and Sano with sadness in her eyes.
Sano sighed, "Don't look at us like that. It. we know." Gray had crept into their hair. Megumi's once pure black hair had several strips of gray running through it while Sano's spikes had a tinge of gray as well. Koroko knew they were getting old but she didn't know they were THAT old.

"What's wrong Kana?" asked Kaoru.
"Death. death is among us." she murmured.
"What are you talking about Kana? Is someone going to die?" asked Tsubame.
"No. death to all. death to all in the universe."
A few days later, Miaso, Aoshi, and Maylo arrived. Miaso and Koroko became friends instantly even though Miaso was much older than the faint memories that Koroko had. Miaso and Aoshi had gotten married a few years after they went back to Kyoto and her parents had gone but Koroko was still to little and Kana had just been born.

She sighed, 'This is going to be harder than I thought,' she thought as she tried to think up a way to explain who she was to them.
"Alright. I'll make this a simple as I possibly can. Out their in outer space." she pointed to the sky which helped over half of them and then continued, "There are other. other. worlds out there. Understand?" a few nods from Kenshin, Yahiko, and half of Megumi's family (Sano didn't believe a word) while the others looked a little confused but got the point. She continued, "I am from one of them called Haven. These worlds are called dimensions. My job is to go to other dimensions and help the people who live there if they are having problems."
"So," interrupted Yahiko, "if that's true, then you came here because we're in trouble? I ask this because we aren't. I mean, do you know what will happen in the future?"
"No, only some people from the dimension called Dragon Ball Z can see the future. But that's the reason why I'm here. They're dead. All of them except one. This man with no name was able to get to Haven and tell us what had happened. However, he then died because our medical facilities weren't as. good as the ones in his world."
"So what happened to everyone from his world?" Aoshi asked, breaking his on silence as he was meditating.
"A creature known as Death destroyed everything. Over half of the dimension is gone. The only thing that is left is." pulling out a notepad from her kimono sleeve, "Two planets. one called Namek and the other. each dimension has it's own Earth and that's what survived."
"Why didn't Death destroy these planets too?" asked Tsubame.
"Like how you guys protect this world, they have protectors too. They are called the Z fighters. Don't ask me why. These people are doing everything they can to stop death but it isn't working too well."
"And so why are you telling us this? Why aren't you there helping them?" asked Miaso.
"Because Death's heading here too. She actually already got her spy here and after she finishes off that other dimension, she coming here." Silence. She figured that's what she would get. She sighed, then reached the point of no return.
"I need you guys. You've got to come to me. Out of all of the dimensions, there are only around twenty left. And my job is to get the five most powerful ones to help destroy Death."
"And, you're saying." Megumi whispered in disbelief.
"Yep. You guys ranked in fourth. So, you are to come with me to Haven. I have to pick the other people who passed up first. Then our job will be to find Death's next target."
"And how are you supposed to get to the other dimensions?" asked Koroko.
"I'll take you. You won't need anything."
"But what about the children? And Maylo? What shall we do with them? Are they to come with us too?" asked Kaoru as she stood up.
"I need." pulling out her notebook again, she read off the names, "Kenshin, Kaoru, Koroko, Yahiko, Tsubame, Sano, Megumi, Misao, and Aoshi."
"What about me?" asked Kana.
"I need everyone who was in the Ausklang encounter. Kana, your name is not on my list."
"I hadn't been born yet."
"Then you can't go. I need everyone who has met Maylo."
"I've met Maylo!" Kana protested while Kenshin asked, "Why Maylo?"
"Because she's Death's spy. She doesn't know it but she has the evil soul in her. We'll be taking her with us and the other evil souls from the other worlds," she said to Kenshin. She then turned to Kana and answered her question, "You may have met Maylo but you did just a few minutes ago."
"She's got to come! She can really help! She's very strong and is very smart!" Koroko cried, taking Kana's side. Shisha stared at the two sisters. You could easily tell they were related and who their parent's were. She sighed and smiled.
"I give in. She can come. Now, we've got a short amount of time. I want someone to take care of the kids and someone bring Maylo to me. It's just about time to go."
