Thank you Sparky McSparksparkster!! (Showers with cyber cookies) Perfect score! Hmmm, Yami no Matsuei, why didn't I think of that? Bleach and Trigun though, are scheduled for appearances. I fact, Bleach as already shown up, even though it wasn't that obvious. Black cats are just too generic in anime. And if you think Daisuke's a good choice, just wait until you see his Heartless. Kawaii!

As for the rest of you, (Waves hand) You Will read. You Will enjoy, and you Will review.

Oh hey, watch my notes! If you look carefully, you'll be able to find hints for other worlds that'll eventually show up! (like the last one wasn't that obvious...)

Disclaimer: It's already about 80 degrees, and I'm currently surviving without AC. What makes you think I can afford any of these animes/games/movies?

Welcome to Traverse Town (Please leave all enemies outside of the gate)

Snarling, Duzell stalked away from the ship, spitting at the twins. "Don't you DARE fly that damn thing again until we get the navigation working!" The vampire growled deep in his chest as he tried to regain his composure, drawing his cape around him.

"Aw, come on Duzie, it wasn't that bad!" Gourry said as he climbed out of the ship.

The twins were right behind him, and they nodded in agreement. "That's right!" Hikaru said, hand on his hip. "Kaoru drove perfectly, unlike back home. He almost crashed into a tree the last time!" he claimed.

Upset, the second twin exclaimed, "Hikaru!" He hunched up on himself, hand to his mouth. "Saying things like that, when you know I try, it's just…" he trailed off, turning his head away.

Eyes wide, Hikaru leaned closer to his brother. "Kaoru," He gently pulled his brother closer to himself, hand under his chin in order to look in his eyes. "I'm sorry, I was just so proud, that it slipped out," he said in a low, husky voice. His twin seemed to melt into his arms, breathing his name.

Off to the side, a few of the native girls started squealing in delight, saying something about the 'wonders of brotherly love.' Still wrapped up in each other, the twins sauntered back onto the ship and closed the hatch. Grinning, they gave each other a thumbs up. "Even on a different world, we've still got it!" they declared.

Tired of the performance, Gourry and Duzell had marched off when the twins had started their little skit. Duzell shook his head at the two; they'd been doing that the entire flight. As they marched down the streets of Traverse Town, Gourry rubbed his arms nervously. "Rather quiet, isn't it?" he commented.

Duzell hummed as he nodded, silver hair shining in the street lights. "Everyone is probably hiding from the Heartless," he said, before suddenly turning around. "That's right, I forgot to mention Gourry, you can't tell anyone where we're from, got it?" he ordered.

Confused by the sudden order, Gourry scratched his head before asking the inevitable. "Why's that?"

Duzell sighed as they turned a corner, heading for the inn he normally stayed in when he came to Traverse Town with the Pharaoh. "Let's say you tell someone that you're from a different world. What do you think would happen?" he asked patiently.

After thinking for a few minutes, Gourry smiled as he got an idea. "They'd think we're crazy!" he exclaimed.

"Good, that's right," Duzell said, looking at the blond warrior. "Now, add in the fact that the Heartless are suddenly appearing. They might think we are their enemies," he explained, knocking on the door to the inn. Above their heads hung a carved cherry blossom for the inn's name, sakura.

Slowly, the door opened, revealing a young woman in a red fighting dress. White circles decorated the middle of the bottom, close to the hem line, and both of her short sleeves. Gourry only noticed this later though. What he first noticed, was, "Wow, you've got pink hair!"

Palming his face in embarrassment, Duzell groaned, "Sakura-san, please don't kill him yet, ok?"

Gritting her teeth, Sakura carefully released the door, revealing deep finger prints in the wood. "Only because you asked Duzerru-sama," she said, her native tongue influencing her speech in her anger. Moving away from the door, she gestured for the two men to enter.

Duzell and Gourry were so occupied by the inn keeper, that they never noticed the black streak that ducked into an alley nearby.

………………………………...

Yoruichi snickered at the two warriors under his breath, glad that he'd snuck a ride aboard that flying museum. Those idiots had no clue as to where to start to look. The cat though, already had an idea as to where to go.

Padding down the alley, he stopped in front of a young boy, who couldn't be older than thirteen. Yoruichi sniffed at his bright red hair, then backed off as a strange creature hissed at him from the boy's neck. The rabbit thing wasn't what Yoroichi was interested in though; the boy was clutching a key-shaped sword in his hand as if his life depended on it.

'His life might as well be depending on this thing,' the cat thought as he inched closer when the bunny calmed. Knowing he wasn't going to get any closer without getting the boy's friend riled up again, he stopped right at his feet and called up to him. "Kid, hey kid, wake up!" he yelled.

The boy groaned as he rolled his head back, resting it against the brick wall. His eyes cracked open, revealing their red-brown color, as he muttered, "Tell me that was a dream, Dark."

With a humph, Yoruichi did the only thing he could. He started scratching the heck out of the boy's ankle.

…………………………….

"Yeeeaooch!" Daisuke yelled as he shot up, fully awake. Looking around, he saw the opening to the alley, and the strange buildings beyond it. "Alright, so this isn't a dream then," he muttered as he levered himself up, using his new weapon as a crutch.

'I could have told you that,' Dark commented.

"Oh quiet in there," Daisuke murmured as he limped out of the alley, leaning on the wall. Behind him, Yoroichi tilted his head curiously as the boy started to talk to himself.

"Any clue where we are?"

'Your guess is as good as mine.'

"Some help you are. And… what is that thing?" he yelped as a small black creature waddled down the path. Hearing him, the thing paused, then turned and jumped at the art thief. Yelping, Daisuke instinctively pulled his new sword up in time to block it, but he stumbled back as the creature leaped away.

"Go for the head!" Yoruichi yelled from behind the boy. Panicking, the teen listened to the mystery voice this time, and swung wildly at the critter's antennae-covered head. Luckily, he managed to land a solid blow, and as he watched, the creature dissolved in to specks of shadows.

A clapping from the side made the teen twirl around. Leaning against one of the buildings was another teen a few years older than him. The newcomer had black hair that spiked up in the back like a cockatoo, a blue shirt, white shorts, and bandages wrapped around his arms and legs. On the back of his shirt was a red and white design that looked like a ping pong paddle or a fan. Strangest of all was the head band around his forehead. In the middle of the metal plate was a weird swirly design, almost like a leaf.

Smirking, the man pushed off of the wall and sauntered over to Daisuke, hands in his pockets. "Not bad, for an amateur," he remarked. Pulling his hands in front of his chest, he quickly flipped through a series of lightning-fast gestures before saying, "Can you please move to the side for a second?"

Before the Daisuke could react, the young man pulled his hands up to his face, two fingers pointed up, and shouted, "Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" Taking a deep breath, he started blowing out fire in a steady stream of flames. Following their path, Daisuke watched in amazement as the other teen roasted a new trio of the strange creatures before he finally ran out of air.

Relaxing, Daisuke smiled as he stood back up, having had to fall down in order to dodge in time, and offered his hand to the other teen. "I'm guessing you're on my side then?" he asked.

With a smirk, the older boy looked Daisuke in the eyes. "You're far too trusting," he said before a hand flashed forward, pinching his neck. Within seconds, Daisuke's eyes rolled back in his skull as he collapsed in a dead faint. Again.

Laughter from the side street caught the teen's attention as he lugged the boy up in a fireman's carry. "You're getting soft, Sasuke-teme," the newcomer said as he walked over to help him out. If Sasuke was all dark colors, then this young man was as bright as a beam of sunshine. Blond hair, orange jumpsuit, blue eyes, and whisker marks made up this teen, as well as an identical headband. "Before coming here, you wouldn't have warned him before using that technique," he finished as they staggered towards the inn, the cat following them.

"Shut up dobe," Sasuke muttered as he kicked the back door open. Letting the boy go, he pointed towards the bed. "Set him there, and get the blade away from him. I'll go and get the others," he ordered before jumping away into the night.

"Stupid Uchiha," Naruto muttered as he carefully laid the boy down on the bed. Slowly, he pried the boys' fingers from around the hilt of the weird sword. Once it was free, he set it aside, letting it lean against the wall.

Turning back to the boy, Naruto was surprised to see a cat wrapped around the teen's ankles, looking up at his placidly. Up around his neck, a rabbit-like thing growled softly at the cat, but refused to abandon his friend. Shaking his head, Naruto grinned at the cat. "I guess you know what's going on here?" he asked in his rumbling voice.

"Of course," Yoruichi replied, a smirk on his whiskered face. "You just get the others, for we have little time."

Ok peeps, you know the drill. Review!! Or else I sic a little white manju bun on ya!

Later
