Author:            Raihne
Disclaimer:      Anja is of my own making so please don't use her without my permission. The GW
                       and YYH guys aren't mine, I'm just messing around with their existence a little. So
                       please don't sue me. It wouldn't be worth it believe me.
Summary:        The GW boys are thrown for a loop when they get thrown back in time and into the
                       Makai. Then it's Tantai to the rescue, but what will they do when Wufei decides Anja
                       is his new Nataku? Things could get messy.

This is my first cross over I'd love C&C but please don't flame me for it to bad ok? Well then let's get it on!



<Part 1>

The world around them had gone black, nothing could be felt or seen. The crew of the spacecraft
(meant to be delivering the gundams to their destruction) all focused their gazes accusingly on the
braided boy who was supposed to be driving.

Duo's voice was tense. "Guys? Where are we?"

"You flew us into a black hole baka." WuFei groaned

 "And this is supposed to be all my fault?"

"You were driving!"

 Heero swore. "It was me, I distracted him."

"Yuy, how could he have missed a damn black hole!" Wufei glared.

Duo grinned sheepishly, "Um. . ."

"Never mind." Wufei groaned, "Don't tell me, please don't tell me."

"Man at least the war is over right?" Duo tried to comfort them.

 Heero looked at his lover and smiled a rare and real smile, "Mission accomplished.

"So now what?"

"We wait till we run out of air." Trowa shrugged, "Then we die."

"Aw man!"

"We should be the ones complaining, you are the one who got us into this mess!" Wufei accused.

Heero stood between the angry Chinese boy and his Shinigami, "Stop it. Arguing wastes air."

"What do we do now?" Quatre asked.

 "Full thrusters ahead?" Trowa suggested.

Heero nodded, "There has to be an end somewhere."

Wufei glared at Duo and then turned away, "I hope you are right."

Three hours later a flash of blinding white light engulfed them and the ship's engine just stopped.

 Duo looked around, "Are we dead?"

 "Baka." Heero hissed.

  "Well we're Supposed to be."

 They climbed into their Gundams, ready for battle, and opened the hatch crashing outside into a
dense jungle.

 "Why do I get the feeling we should have let Wufei drive?" Duo asked no
one in particular.

 "Duo. . ." The others warned.

 "What?"

Heero stopped the argument with a question, "Why is the sky purple?"
 
 

 Botan found Yuusuke that morning, "Yuusuke! Yuusuke!"

 "Oi Botan! My ears!"

 "We have trouble."

 The boy stuck his hands in his pockets and sighed. "What else is new."

 "A huge craft landed in the Makai last night." She explained, "It isn't like anything we've seen here before. There are five smaller crafts that have come out of it. They are manned by ningen! We need you guys in there now!"

 "Have the others been informed?"

 "Ohayo Yuusuke!" Kuwabara ambled up to him.

"Then they have." Yuusuke guessed.

 Hiei arrived with Kurama, Kuronue, and Shura moments later.

"Where is Anja?"

"Being punished again."

"For what now?"

Kurama shrugged. "It happens so often I've lost track."

 Yuusuke frowned. "Let's go then."
 

 When they reached the Makai The first thing they saw was the spacecraft. It was like something out of one of Anja's Sci Fi stories! Yuusuke knocked on what seamed to be a door. "Ohayo? Hello? Any survivors?" He asked.

 Five crafts suddenly shot out of the woods before the startled boy and Yuusuke Eeped as a giant
hand picked him up off of the ground.

 "Um . . . Excuse me." Yuusuke cleared his throat and sweat dropped, "Don't look down Don't look down, Don't look down." He chanted it over and over. "Could we maybe discuss this?"

 "Who are you?" The machine asked menacingly.

 "I am Yuusuke and this is Kuwabara, Hiei, Kuronue, Shura, and
Kurama, Anja will be here in a moment."
 

"Well?" WuFei asked from his gundam.

"They don't look dangerous." Quatre thought out loud.

"Heero put him Down." Duo chuckled, "Lets go say hi!"

"Hn." Heero grumbled as he set Yuusuke on his feet, stepped from his suit and leapt to the ground. The others followed suit.

 "I'm Duo." The braided boy grinned and waved, "Sourpuss here is Heero
and. . . Epp!" Heero took off after Duo and he ran behind the other three boys who were just getting their land legs. "QUATRE! TROWA! WU-Man! Help Me!"

 The blond one looked pained, "I am Quatre." He smiled. "This is Trowa and Wufei."

 Heero caught up to the screaming American and yanked hard on his braid sending him crashing
down onto his rear. "Itaitaitaitaitai!!! Not the braid!"

 Just then Anja walked into the clearing. her bright hair shimmered in the sunlight and made their
whole being seam to glow. "Sorry we're late."

 Yuusuke smile at the pair of them, "Ohayo Anja. What happened this time?"

 "Oh, the school didn't take kindly to me fighting with a teacher!" Anja smiled and ran up to them. A little bat/human-like creature flew from Anja's hair and swept around the surprised pilots before moving to Anja and making a series of motions with it's hands.

 Anja laughed and scratched it's head, "Hai, Canon. He was a wimp."

 "Anja how many times do we tell you not to bring Canon on missions?" Yuusuke scolded lightly. "This is no place for pets."

 "It's just a quick rescue, ne?"
 

 The gundam boys stared at the group before them, especially the pair of women. One had long,
thick red hair. The other Coppery tresses just a little shorter. Both had slim, well proportioned bodies. They looked radiant!

 Wufei stared openly at the two of them, captivated. "Angels."

 "This is Anja," Yuusuke introduced having missed Wufei's comment, He swatted the Chibiera away from his face, " And her Chibiera, Canon. Anja, these guys are Quatre, Trowa, Wufei, Heero, and Duo."

 Anja was startled when Wufei came forward and kissed her hand, but not as startled as Kurama
was when he did the same to him. She watched Kurama blush and giggled, "You just kissed my
Oniisan."

 Yuusuke rolled his eyes, "Great use of discretion Anja."

 Wufei froze for a moment and stared at Kurama, "Y. . . You're a guy?!"

 Kurama blushed deeper and nodded. "Sorry."

 Yuusuke and Kuwabara were trying to hold their laughter.

 "Where were you that you last remember?" Kurama asked studiously ignoring their
chuckles.

 Heero answered, "Just outside of L4's air space, we entered a black hole somewhere west of there
en route to the sun's gravitational field."

 Kurama bit his lip, confused, but Anja came to the rescue with her ‘nothing
is impossible' way of thinking and asked, "When are you from?"

 "AC199 of course."
 

 Anja frowned over at Yuusuke and made her voice mechanical, "Uh . . .  Houston we have a
problem."

 Duo chuckled but Heero silenced him with another hard tug on his braid.

 "Why?"

 "You are now in the early twenty first century."

 "WHAT?!"

 "Oh boy." Yuusuke mumbled to himself, "This is gonna be harder than I
thought."

 "We know when we are now, but where?" Trowa asked.

 Quatre finished for him. "No other planets were being inhabited then."

 "Yuusuke niisan," Anja offered petting the creature who had settled on her shoulder, "Could you
take this one."

 The black haired boy nodded, "You see, there are three worlds. Ningenkai, earth.
Reikai, heaven to some. And Makai, the demon world. Which is where you are
now."

 Quatre looked pale and Trowa took him into his arm's to comfort his little
love.

 "We are in the demon world?"

 "Yeah." Anja nodded, "We can get you back to Ningenkai from here, that's our job. But from
there. . . we haven't dealt with time travelers before."

 "Who are you?" Trowa asked.

 "We are spirit detectives for the Reikai. We keep things where the belong."

 "How?"

 Anja grinned and licked her lips. Hiei wore a similar expression. "Usually
with a lot of blood shed."

 "On both sides." Yuusuke reminded her sternly.

 She shrugged.

 "And us?"

 Yuusuke shook his head, "I honestly don't know."

 Wufei took in the group before him, still embarrassed by his mistake. The black haired human one was a trouble maker. You could see it in his every gesture, he was also, it seemed, their leader. The carrot top was an idiot, definitely the clown of the group. The tall one with the odd hat
and pony tail he couldn't read at all. Same with the one who had horns growing out of his head, the short one with the sword radiated a warriors aura that screamed at them to stay away from his
friends. Those were the only three in the group that seamed dangerous. The little flying thing was
obviously a pet of some sort. The red head, Kurama, seamed to be the calmest a voice of reason
perhaps, and the copper haired girl. . . he honestly didn't know what to think about her. She was
beautiful! A Goddess! And she glowed with life! But more than that. . . He didn't have a clue. They all seemed very fond of her though.

 The four other boys stood together, each going through various stages of shock. What had they
gotten themselves into?!

 Anja walked up to them while Yuusuke contacted Koenma and smiled. "Don't worry, my niisans will
find a way to get you home."

 "Niisans?" Quatre asked, "All of them?!"

 Anja grinned, "Except for those two." She pointed to the couple standing a bit apart from the group, two of the three Wufei couldn't read.

 "You don't look at all alike." Trowa noticed.

 The girl shrugged, "I was orphaned recently. I got sort of adopted by the Reikai Tantai."

 "How did you meet them?" Quatre asked, happy to meet a slightly normal person in this odd place.

 She shrugged again, "I got put on trial in the Reikai, made a good impression with Enma  and now I'm on probation with them instead of serving more jail time."

 The Arabian almost feinted.

 Duo looked very curious.

 Wufei looked no less enchanted.

 "You guys aren't human are you." Heero asked the group.

 "We. . ." Kurama stopped and looked at the communicator, "static?"

 Yuusuke nodded, "There must be an interference in the ‘tween worlds."

 Anja turned around and jumped up clasping her hands together, "Let's go visit Mukuro then!"

 Canon flew from her shoulder making a series of angry gestures at her sharp movement.

 All of her brothers groaned.

 Shura and Kuronue grinned.

 Anja walked up to those two and put her arms around their waists, "Well I
thought is was a good idea." She smiled.

 "Let's just set up camp for the night." Kurama suggested, "Tomorrow we'll
decide what to do."

Yuusuke took over then, "We need a fire going. I will start that." He then turned to Kuwabara and said, "firewood."

 The teen nodded.

 "Shura, can you watch that guy for me while he's out alone?"

 "Hai." The boy vanished.

"Kuronue, we need water."

No nodded and waited for Anja to get her assignment.

 "Anja, Hiei, We need food. Can you hunt it."

 Anja looked at him angrily.

 "I know you're a vegetarian Kurama can grow something for you but we really need to
eat, and you two have the most skillful aim."

 "Hai." She growled then plucked the little Chibiera out of the air , "Stay." She ordered before she ran into the forest, the other two, like Shura, seamed to vanish.

 Kurama smiled and told Yuusuke, "I'm going to go set up some defenses."

 The boy looked up and smiled back at him, "Hai."
 

 A little bit later they all heard a horrible howling sound that chilled the gundam boys  to the core, it was followed by a deeper wail.

 Yuusuke just grinned, "That's Anja's victory cry and Kuronue's answer." He
told them, "We have food coming."

 As if in answer to his words an odd, deer-like thing was dropped in the boy's
lap. "OOF!"

 "I am not going to skin it." Anja said from the tree above him.

 "Squeamish?" Trowa asked.

 Anja jumped down into the light of the fire and licked the blood off of her fingers, "Respectful." She answered.

 "Vegetarian." Yuusuke offered as an explanation.

 Hiei was there seconds later, skinning their kill of a similar creature off away from the site where they would sleep.

 "We came on a herd." Anja explained.

 Another cry, this one followed by a gushing, cracking sound, was heard and Anja grinned, "Way to go Kurama-nissan!"

 Hiei just gave a, "Hn." But it was more than he had said to anyone else.

 Kurama, Kuronue, Kuwabara, and Shura arrived at about the same time and Anja
smiled at her Kurama- niisan.

 "I know." He smiled.

 "One word." She answered.

 They both grinned, "Watermelon." and the little winged thing went ballistic!

 The gundam boys were confused.

 "Yes I'll grow you some watermelon." Kurama smiled and took some seeds
from his hair, dropping them to the ground and closing his eyes. The gundam team
watched in surprise as a fruit and vegetable garden seemed to sprout up right in
front of them. Watermelon was the only familiar one.

 Anja smiled, anticipating their question, "The others are Makai fruits." She
told them, "But I lo~ve to eat watermelon!"

 Yuusuke and Kuwabara chuckled, "More like inhale it."

 Anja pounced on the boys and the laughed as they wrestled around.

 The gundam team watched with odd looks on there faces.

 "Not by the fire! Not by the Fire!" Kurama ran to his sister's rescue.

 Shura and Kuronue chuckled and brought the blood drained, skinned and
sliced kill near the fire. Anja jumped up over the fire and landed on the other side of the blaze. "EW!"

 They all laughed. Even the gundam boys had to. All but Heero. Of course,
this immediately  made him Anja's target.

 Yuusuke snickered, "Remember what happened when you ignored her once Hiei?"

 "Hn, She got more annoying." He growled in a low voice that seamed wrong for his size.

 Quatre chuckled, "Sounds like Duo."

 Heero growled at the approaching female.

 Duo squeaked as she changed course last minute and landed right in his lap, "You're American aren't you?"

 "Uh. . . yeah." He looked down at the energetic girl on his legs.

 "Me too!" She smiled.

 "Oh no!" The rest of them groaned.

 Duo grinned. "Know any songs?"

   "NO!" His team mates yelled.

 "My singing is not bad!" Duo insisted.

 "No, it's worst than bad." Heero commented.

 "Heero!"

 Anja stiffened and jumped from Duo's lap, looking around her carefully.

 Wufei drew his sword.

 "Anja, what is it?" Kurama asked.

 "Something is in here with us." She bit her lip and turned in circles until she
got a fix on it. "There!"

 A shadow detached itself from the others and came forward. The Gundam team gaped at Anja as
she started to growl back deep in her throat. "Yomi."

 "Down girl." He teased and Anja launched herself at him in anger, ripping
his shirt with her sword before she jumped back.

 She grinned evilly, "You still have my brand on Yomi. Don't treat me like your pet."

 "Do not insult me, I came in peace." Yomi insisted.

 "Sure you did."

 "I want to see my son. I felt his presence here."

 The one with the horns, Shura, went to Anja and put his arms around her
from behind. Now that both were in the light, it was evident that this was the son
Yomi meant. "I have nothing to say to you."

 "Shura, you are my son, Heir to all of my lands. A prince."

 "Get away from my family." Shura growled, "You hurt them."

 "I did what I thought was best."

 Shura growled, "Get away."

 Anja squirmed in Shura's grip but he wouldn't let go. "Shura! Shura, put me
down!" She wouldn't fight harder than she was because she was afraid she could
hurt him.

 Yomi glared at her. "You caused me a great deal of pain and embarrassment."

 Anja met him glare for glare, "You asked for it!"

 Kuronue moved to stand between Yomi and his family, "You aren't wanted
here."

 Yomi hesitated and Wufei advanced, sword at the ready.

 The king knew when he was outnumbered so he turned and walked away,
"We will have words Shura." He promised. "And you, little ningen, will be sorry for this mark you
gave me. And for steeling my son from me."

 Anja stuck her tongue out at him and wiggled her fingers, "Well then I'll see you in Hell."

 Kurama ran after Yomi to see how he had gotten through the defenses, and
returned a second later. "I must have closed him in with us because I had to help
him get out.

 "Will your plants hold?" Anja asked.

 "Yes."

 She nodded, "Ok then, all's well."

 Yuusuke nodded.

 "What did you mean he wore your brand?" Wufei asked.

 Anja took the green apple like fruit Kurama handed to her and sighed, "You
saw the big bat tattooed on his chest?"

 "Yes."

 "I carved it there with his own knife dumped ink in the wound and salted it
closed with the setter and a little Ki." She dropped her sleeve to show the bat
tattooed an her shoulder and smiled, "That's how this was done. I learned it in
prison." She pulled up her sleeve then yawned and sat down on Shura's lap beside
Kuronue.

 Shura chuckled, "When you start eating that watermelon Anja, you are
getting off."

 "Ok, Ok." She grinned. Then she bit off a piece of the fruit and held her mouth against, Shura's. He snatched the fruit from her tongue and ate it with a smile.

 Kuronue sat beside the two, "Don't I get some?" He asked.

 Anja took another bit off of the fruit and placed her lips to Kuronue's. He sucked the fruit in and
nursed it in his mouth along with her tongue.

 The Chibiera chirped and Anja broke away with a laugh and tore a piece of fruit off and handed it to him.

 They ate and then they settled in for the night. Kurama and The little youkai
with spiky hair. . . Hiei, they slept up on a tree branch together. Yuusuke and
Kuwabara curled up alone by the fire. Trowa and Quatre slept in each others arms,
needing the warmth and familiarity their love gave them. Heero and Duo slept curled around each
other lovingly and Wufei bedded down in the shadows.

 He watched Anja carefully as she curled up to sleep underneath the tree her two brothers were in, her pet sprawled across her stomach, "Oyasumi minna-san." She yawned. Wasn't she afraid to just fall asleep with so many men around? She was very strong, very trusting or very naive. When he saw Kuronue and Shura come back from washing up, and settle one on each side of her, the Chinese boy jumped up, ready to defend her honor. His swords downward sweep was caught by another sword his eyes widened when he saw it was Anja's.

 She glared at him as coldly as Heero could ever glare, maybe colder. "What do you think you
were doing?" She hissed.

 "I was going to chase them away." Wufei answered clearly, "to defend your honor."

 Anja chuckled, "These two are my koibitos Wufei." Her smile dropped then,
"And Yomi stool the honor of all of us three years ago, why do you think I branded him?"

 "Oh!. . . I . . . um. . ."

 She shook her head, "It's fine." Then the ningen girl re-sheathed her sword and cuddled up against the two boys close to falling asleep.

 Wufei looked at the three of them in confusion, "Both. . .?" He didn't want to know.

 As he turned away Anja called to him. "Wufei?"

 "Hm?"

 "Do you want to sleep over here tonight? The Makai gets really cold and the body heat helps."

 Wufei blushed and shook his head, "Aa, no. I'll be fine."

 Anja nodded with a grin and snuggled further into the embrace of the two young boys.
 
 

 The next morning, Kurama was the first awake as usually was the case. When Trowa and Quatre
woke up, they realized their positions then stared at Kurama as if waiting for rejection but he just smiled and pointed up at Hiei just stirring asleep in the tree and pressed a finger to his lips and whispered, "me too."

 Trowa nodded and Quatre smiled, then they joined him near the fire.

 Heero woke to Duo curled beside him and froze but didn't move away. He
placed a light kiss to the sleeping pilot's lips before waking him. Yuusuke and
Kuwabara arose about the same time as Wufei and soon all but Anja, and her boys
were gathered around the fire.

 "Shouldn't you wake them up?" Quatre asked.

 "I have a hard enough time getting her up at home, you think I'll try it when
she has her sword?" Kurama chuckled.

 Heero snorted, "Hn, I'll wake her up."

 "Heero I wouldn't. . ."

 Canon and the two boys beside her jumped quickly away at the thought of being caught in the
middle. "That isn't such a good. . ." Shura started to warn him.

 Heero crouched down by Anja and shook her shoulder, "Hey, Get up."

 Her sword hilt came up crashing into his jaw.

 The others flinched and Heero grabbed her by her collar and hauled her up,
"Omae. . ."

 Anja glared, "Omae o Korosu!" She hissed kicking him in the stomach and
slashing at him with her sword. Only Hiei's fast reaction time saved the pilot.
"Anja, It us!" He assured her.

 Kurama tried to explain her actions, "She has horrible nightmares
sometimes. When she wakes it takes her a moment to tell real and dream."

 "Hn." Hiei hugged her close and re-sheathed her sword for her, "S'ok, Imouto-chan."

 Everyone including his own group was shocked at the soft tone the Koorime
used.

 "Nightmares?" Trowa asked.

 Yuusuke frowned at the question. "Her entire family, not just immediate, was
blown up in an explosion at a reunion. She was kidnaped and. . . held by Yomi," Yuusuke's
expression told them that's wasn't all Yomi had done. "Survived in Reikai jail. . . and has fought with
us, against things you couldn't even imagine, for years."

 Kuwabara nodded, "Give her a break! She can have a few bad dreams if she needs to."

 Anja, who hadn't heard the conversation, walked up to Heero, "You hurt?"

 "Hn."

 She grabbed him by the chin and turned him to face her. "Hiei pulls that too and it won't work any better for you, Are you hurt?"

 "I'm fine." Heero growled. And pushed her hand away.

 "Now see, that didn't hurt to much did it."

 Duo snickered and Anja moved to sit by the fire. "I wish we had some
marshmallows." She sighed, her bad dream forgotten.

 "Yeah! With gram crackers." Duo nodded.

 "And chocolate." Anja answered then they both grinned and cheered,
"S'mors!" Before falling backwards laughing.

 The Tantai members were trying hard not to laugh at the antics of Anja and
Duo. "It's an American thing." Duo grinned

 "Is it?" Anja wondered out loud, "Who invented S'mors?"

 "Some one with good taste!" Duo cheered.

 "So what do we do today?" Kuwabara asked, before the ‘S'mors discovery channel' could go any
further.

 Anja opened her mouth but Kuronue quickly covered it for her.

 Kurama laughed, "We are not going to Mukuro's."

 Since her Kuronue was kissing her, and Shura was massaging her back, Anja couldn't have cared
less.

 Wufei watched from where he sat.  Wondering at what Anja had been dreaming. How could she
just smile and laugh after all of that? "Hn, she is more like Duo than they know." He said to himself, "Hiding behind a smile." He fought back the jealousy that the trio evoked in his chest and turned his eyes away.

 Yuusuke shook his head and they cleaned up camp and got ready to move on.
Kurama called down his barrier of guardian plants and they were off. Canon had taken a liking to
Wufei and rode on his shoulder. Anja chattered with Duo who chattered back and basically drove
everyone else nuts, except for Wufei who trail behind her hanging on her every word and gesture.

 Hiei had decided to come out of the trees, not trusting so many, strangers
especially, round his fox and human. And he walked beside Kurama as the Youko led the group
through the Makai. The Gundam pilots stared around them in amazement.

 All of a sudden a pained pleading caught their ears. The Reikai Tantai hurried into action, moving ahead toward the sound.
 "Hey!" Anja cried, "That's Mukuro's crest!" Sure enough, one of Mukuro's paige boys was caught in a corner by a group of Youkai bandits.

 Anja licked her lips in anticipation and watched as Yuusuke charged first. "Rei Gun!" One of the
demons fell and it's friends whipped around angrily. Kuwabara grinned and charged them, "Rei Ken!" A glimmering sword flashed in his hands and he charged another beast, taking off it's
head. "Death scythes!" Kuronue called and a rain of spinning metal blades chopped
a couple more to pieces.
 
 

 Quatre turned to face away from the fighting and screamed when he came
face to face with another of the beasts. The things body split open and Anja stood
behind it licking a bloodied sword and clawed hand, smiling.

 The little Arab threw up.

 Kurama pulled a rose from his hair. "Rose whip!" He cried slicing a nearby
Youkai to pieces. Shura shot balls of Youki into the dense youkai and jumped from
one to another, ripping off body parts and eating from them!

 It was Duo and Wufei's turn to look sick. Hiei and Anja went ballistic
through the enemy, their swords flashed and the both grinned dangerously.

 Suddenly one came up behind Kuronue and tried to take a bite. The black
haired boy glimmered and there stood a thing that looked like a taller more grown
version of the boy but for it's tail and two pointed ears, two huge bat like wings and
animalistic claws.

 Youko Kuronue grinned as he sliced the beast in half with his bare hands.
 
 

 Heero watched with fear and shock hidden carefully behind a mask of
indifference. He couldn't hide his curiosity though.

 "Wow!" Duo exclaimed, "And here I thought parents made up the concept of monsters to get their kids to behave!"

 "Bakara." Heero said softly, the word was an endearment rather than insult. "You were training as Shinigami and you don't believe in monsters?"

Duo shrugged.

 "What are they?" Trowa asked.

 Anja faced off with one of the big ones grinning ear to ear. "You gotta ask
yourself one thing. Do you feel luck? Well, do ya? punk."

 The demon charged and she pushed her sword and hands right through it's gut. It fell right over her and she wormed her way out through it's back, covered in blood.

 "Guess not." She shrugged before issuing a wild laugh and jumping right into the middle of the fight and grinned maniacally at her brothers. "I always wanted to say that!"

 "Duo, you have competition for the ‘crazy American' title." Wufei said
calmly.

 ". . . , she can have it." He groaned staring at the blood spurting out from the battle.

 Finally the last one fell.

 Hiei and Anja grinned and immediately started cleaning their swords before re-sheathing them. Anja stripped off her sleeved shirt and baggy pants and was left wearing a black undershirt and black biking shorts. At least they were clean. WuFei almost drooled over the amount of smooth, hard and willowy, muscled skin showing.
 

 Hiei growled at her, "You stole my shirt again."

"Mine was dirty."

"You stretch them."

"They'll wash back into shape."

"Hn."

 The tall fox demon with wings walked to Anja's side and asked, "You ok."

 "Hai Kuro, there is a scratch on my back that I can't reach to clean. . ., and all of this blood is drying on my arms and face and hair!"

 The fox pulled Anja's shirt up in back and started to lick the wound. Shura licked one on her forehead. Anja licked the wound on Kuronue's arm.

 "Couldn't you guys do that somewhere else?" Trowa asked softly looking at the little Arab who was still recovering from his vomiting fit.

 Anja looked up from where she was cleaning Kuronue's chest and smiled. "Almost done."

 When they were done cleaning each other, and Anja was devoid of blood, they rifled through the demons belongings.

 Quatre shivered, "Isn't that disrespectful to the dead?"

 Yuusuke shrugged and watched as Hiei and Kurama joined Shura, Kuronue
and Anja in searching. "They like to steal stuff." He looked at his team mates, "Most of it was
probably stolen from someone else anyway."

 "She doesn't seam like the type." Trowa thought aloud.

 "Her Hiei niisan taught her." Kuwabara snickered.

 Anja slipped a few fine looking daggers into her vest's inside pocket and
whatever jewels she found joined them. She picked up the sword momentarily
before dropping them again but kept an odd pan flute and a thing resembling a
wooden harmonica.

 "Yeah! We get music tonight!" Kuwabara cheered.

 Anja winked at them and continued her hunt. "Catch." She tossed Duo a
wicked looking dagger.

 He barely caught it and gulped, "What. . .?"

 "You have two switchblades in your shoes, I thought you might like it."

 "How did you. . . never mind." Duo tucked it into his waist band.

 Anja tossed Trowa and Heero each a knife and Quatre a scimitar. "You all
need to be armed like Wolfie. Bullets don't always work here."

 "My name is Wufei."

 "Ok Wolfie."

 Duo snickered.

 "Ohhh!" Anja's eyes lit up as she pulled an odd blade from a Youkai's grip.
You held its purple, blood wood handle and the blade was over your Knuckles in a rounded triangle, "An Amazon! I like!"

 "Careful." Yuusuke warned, "She has a new toy."

 Anja grinned and showed Hiei.

 The fire youkai nodded his approval, and Anja took a few trial swipe as her brother knelt by the
paige boy.

 "Hiei said I could keep it." She smiled.

 "Hiei!" Kurama yelled.

  "The kid's dead." Hiei frowned.

 Anja went to his and sat down cross-legged, pulling the child into her lap.
Odd music, un-whole and disjointed filled the air Anja closed her eyes and focused
on putting the song back together until it played whole and done, like a music box.
The boy opened his eyes. "Wha. . ."

 "Shh." Anja smiled. "You're safe now." She sat him down and turned to face
the Gundam boys stares. "Nani?"

 "You guys aren't human, are you." Duo asked staring at the corpses.

 "Neither are you." Anja challenged. "You're dead. You smell like an angel."

 "Lets walk as we discuss this." Yuusuke suggested, "Once the smell of blood gets out, there'll be
more of them."

 When the were a good distance away Heero stopped. "How did you know about Duo?"

 Anja shrugged, "I know when someone is dead."

 "What are you?" Trowa asked.

 "Demons?" Quatre held his lover close.

 Yuusuke nodded. "Sort of. I was killed and brought back to like, and I have demon
heritage."

 "I and Kuronue are fox demons, Youko,  with human hosts. Kuronue also has Chimera in him."
Kurama said.

 Shura shrugged, "I am full Youkai, prince of a third of the Makai."

 Anja smiled, "Canon is a Youkai pet, Hiei niisan is a Fire Youkai and Kuwabara is a. . ."

 "Baka." Hiei offered.

 As the two started arguing Anja ignored them, "He's a human psychic."

 "And you?"

 "A human."

 "You brought someone back from the dead." Trowa sighed, "That's hardly something a human could do."

 Anja shrugged, "So I know some stuff."

 Kurama smiled, "She is a Shamaness, a necromancer/Geomancer and a Doren. And has been
trained to be a warrior to match all of us."

 Heero was impressed, though he tried not to show it.

 Quatre and Due both looked faint.

 "And who is this Mukuro that the kid works for?" Trowa asked.

 "Mukuro is almost a mother to me. Hiei is her heir. She is my mentor in
magic and some combat skills." Anja smiled, "And a very nice person."

 Kurama snorted, "You're the only one who thinks so."

 Anja glared. "Se bueno!"

 "Huh?" The others asked.

 Kurama glared right back. "She told me to be nice."

 "Hiei, break this up before we have a fox fight on our hands." Yuusuke
pleaded.

 "Anja." Hiei growled.

 "Huh?" She turned to face him.

 "We have to return the kid to Mukuro."

 Anja's face beamed and she forgot all about arguing with her sibling, "Yes! We're going!"

 Quatre looked at Trowa, Trowa looked at Quatre, "Why do I get the feeling
we wont like this very much?"

 Anja was already running ahead of them into Mukuro's territory.

 "Anja! Matte! Slow down!" Kuwabara yelled, "Wait for us!"

 She didn't listen. On the way past the border she tagged the guard on duty, "Hi Chi! Tag your it!"
