Foreword: Um, hi. This is a crossover on Sailormoon and Yu Yu Hakusho. Anyway, the idea of what this is about is that Usagi fails to reincarnate and Botan picks her up. This takes place after Sailormoon defeats the last bad guy. I guess you could say this takes place at the end of Yu Yu Hakusho when everything's peaceful. I sorry, but this story, I think, will contain spoilers. You've been warned here. At any rate, I hope you like the story. The animes and the respective characters of each do not belong to me and were not created by me. ^^ Any comments or suggestions, please e-mail me at crimson_sleet@hotmail.com ~Crimson Ice Untitled No.1: Part One. Cold. It was was deathly cold. Such was Chaos's embrace. But it was gone now. And it was warm. Usagi acknowledged the warmth. So warm! So familiar, like that taste of a memory! Usagi opened her eyes, and sat up in a pearly radiance. ...I? she thought, am still alive? She glanced down upon herself, somehow she was in a loose shift tied securely on her shoulders and neck, and gazed at the hazy air around her. I... had surrounded Chaos... at that last moment, and was bounced back out! She stared inside the kaleidoscopic, lumionous light enveloping her. Here is? ...Everybody all vanished, gone now? She wondered sadly. Chaos? ....? Everyone all-? " Konnichi wa! Usagi Tsukino!" an unfamilar feminine voice chirped behind her. Uwa...! Usagi spun around around quickly to see one of the more unusual sights during the long battles for the sake of the solar system. There was a petite girl sitting on a floating oar waving at her with one arm as she was busily reading from a book titled "Reikai Book of Souls'. She wore a simple pinkish kimono and had dark deep sky blue hair that was pulled up into a high ponytail with a red band, it bounced around as she flipped through the thin book. Well, it was sort of thick, but compare to Ami's usual study books... Usagi felt a pang as she thought about Ami. Mercury... she she the look in her friend's eyes as she melted away in the full blast of Usagi's attack, the same look in all of the other senshis's eyes... Tears glinted in Usagi's cerulean eyes, she quickly wiped them away. Come to think of it, Usagi thought, this girl's hair color is just a little lighter than Ami's... The girl didn't notice Usagi's expression as she frowned into the book. " Makasa!" she declared, abruptly, jerking her head up, revealing violet eyes," you're not suppose to be dead yet!" Then muttered something even more quietly," We've been getting a lot of those lately..." Dead? Usagi thought startled, of course I'm dead, what is she talking about? Then again, what is she doing here at Chaos's headquaters? " Nanni?" Usagi finally spoke," Who are you? How do you know my name? What are you doing here? Where is here anyway?" The girl blinked," Ah, gomen nasai! Watashi wa Botan desu! I am a Spirit Guide for the Reikai, and my job is to ferry souls across the Sanzu no Kawa to their Judgement. You're in Tokyo, in a apartment complex's back lobby." " Reikai?" Usagi asked slowly, puzzled, she had never heard of it," What is that? I've never heard of it. Sanzu no Kawa? Isn't that a river in the legends? What judgement? What am I doing in a apartment complex?" Botan's jaw dropped," Nanni!? You've never heard of the Reikai!? Or Sanzu no Kawa!? Where've you been?" Then she chuckled, seeming to decide that Usagi was joking," And I suppose you've never heard of Koenma- sama either." Usagi was even more bewildered," Ko...enma? Who's that?" The girl facevaulted and nearly fell off her oar. Recovering she said," Koenma, the Prince of the Reikai. You know Reikai, the Spirit Realm where all should go to after they die. All the humans go to him for their Judgement, their designation to heaven or hell depending on the deeds completed during their life," she amended quickly, seeing an even more mystified look on Usagi's face. The place where souls go after they die... there's no such place! The senshi and I have died so many times, but we've never went to where she's talking about! We always reincarnated... maybe that's why. But then what am I doing here? Usagi thought about it, then startled she realized the opalescent light had vanished and she was hovering beside Botan in a hallway in mid- air, not touching the ground. Huh? " Anyway," Botan continued," You aren't suppose to be dead yet, it doesn't say anything about it in your file," she waved the book erratically," In fact, it says your not even CLOSE to dying. This is very weird. It also has nothing on what you're doing here..." She frowned, snapping the book closed. " We'll have to ask Koenma-sama himself! Even though he's always so busy and all... this is really weird. But then so was Yuusuke's case, and then there was Genkai's-" Usagi's brow furrowed," Yuusuke-? What's going on?" " Ah, nothing! I was just talking to myself! Come on," the girl said and patted the space on the oar next to her," Get on, I have other people to get after you and then I have to talk to Yuusuke." Usagi looked at the oar uncertainly. I've been on odder methods of transportation but this is a little much. Plus the fact that I have no clue of what she's talking about or what's going on. Which is always usually prior to something very bad, Usagi recalled Galaxia, Sailor Tin Mouse, Sailor Starlights, Professor Tomoe, Demando, and ect. She stared uneasily at Botan. " Well, come on! It's safe, I've never had any problems!" Botan called to her impatiently. Usagi shrugged, It's like I have anything to lose, she thouht ruefully, I'm already dead and she can't kill me. Or control me, I have the power to resist her. Why not? It's not like I have anywhere else to go. I should investigate this Reikai place anyway... " Okay," Usagi finally said, she cautiously moved, or glided actually, and gingerly set herself on the oar. " Hold on!" Botan said to her. " Huh?" was all Usagi had time to say before the oar gyrated and rocketed forward, leaping past clouds at a unbelievable speed. She let out a yelp, and gripped the oar with a death-like grip. This girl is really unusual, Botan thought as she sped along to the Reikai, her file has an almost perfect record and some weird anomalies. She sailed onward, sensing extreme distress at her backside. Inwardly she grinned, just like Yuusuke and Kuwabara. I can't imagine why riding on my oar could be unpleasant... She thought about the person behind her. Hm, there's something odd about her for sure, I don't know, somehow she doesn't really >feel< like a human. When she spoke... I thought I heard someone familiar, like a close one, but I never meet her before. Her name... rabbit of the moon... That impression of endless stars, and despairing beauty... I wonder. It's really odd I just happen to pass by the particular area. Otherwise I would have never noticed her. But what was she doing there? She mulled over it. Ah, we're almost there. I hope Koenma will know what to do. "Uh..." Mamoru groaned and slowly opened his eyes. Sunlight streamed through the windows and into his apartment. Beside him he heard the sounds of the other senshi waking. He registered their position; they were in his living room. " Wha?" Minako mumbled, similar reactions came from the others. They slowly took stock. For a reason or another all of them were wearing identical loose shifts fastened with tied cord-like straps, except for Mamoru who was wearing a loose collared shirt and pants, they sort of looked like pajamas. Haruka and Michiru hugged each other fiercely and then the senshi all piled in a huge group hug. Tears ran from all present's eyes, overjoyed to find themselves with each other again. " Nanni?" Mamoru abruptly breathed," Where's Usa-chan." All motion froze. " U-Usagi," Ami gasped. She remembered the desolate anguish etched on her beloved friend's face, the despairing defeat in her eyes as she finally... " Where is she," Setsuna whispered, eyes wide," she couldn't have possibly-" Desperation showed in her cold garnet eyes, usually unexpressive with so many people. " Makasa!" Haruka snapped, a light dawning in her teal eyes," don't you remember the Guardian?" " Hai," Hontaru, echoed softly, remembering slowly," she said that Usagi's starseed had skewed and was unable to locate it. She has not been reincarnated..." Frantic looks appeared in the mysterious eyes of the solar system's senshi. " We'll find her," Makoto declared grimly. " Even if it takes us a thousand years," Rei declared in an undertone, her expression unreadable. " Forever," corrected Minako. " The mirror should be able to help..." Michiru summoned out the reflective brilliance of her tailsman and gazed long into its farseeing deepths, trying to sense the truth of where Usagi was. She couldn't see anything. " Iie," she said in shock, the others crowded around her, peering into the hand-held mirror. " The mirror cannot find her..." ::End Part 1::
