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!

 Anja woke up in her bed. For a moment she thought it had all been a dream. Then she saw Hiei asleep in a chair near the bed side and Quatre on the other side by Wufei. Her heart lurched, "n. . . niisan?"

 Both sleeping boys jumped at the small sound and Hiei was on his feat before she could blink. "Anja."

 She tried the clear up her vision and tried to rub her eyes but a sharp pain
stabbed through her arm. "Aah!"

 "Careful." Quatre cautioned, You were cut very deeply." He checked her bandaged arm and smiled kindly, "If you don't take it easy you'll tear the stitches."

 "Where. . . KURO!" She suddenly sat up disregarding the pain, "Where's Kuro!?"

 Quatre's smile fell and he looked away.

 Anja's worried eyes sought out Hiei but the little Koorime just held
something out to her. Kuronue's hat. And his pony tail. "Then he. . . NO!" She
jumped out of bed and ran barefoot out to the graveyard. Hiei blurred after her and
caught her kneeling over the fresh Youko grave. "Kuro." She sobbed.

 Hiei covered her naked body with his cloak and helped her back into her
room.

 Quatre stood when they entered. "Anja. . ."

 Hiei shook his head and laid her down to sleep. She started to cry and he
looked unsure for a moment before locking the door and climbing up behind her so
she could lay her head on his lap. He held her. Then he started singing. . .

  "When at night I go to sleep, fourteen angels watch do keep.
 Two my head are guarding, two my feet are guiding.
 two are on my right hand, two are on my left hand.
 Two who o're me cover, two who o're me hover,
two to whom tis given to guide my steps to heaven.

 By bright host attended, from all harm descended.
 Sleeping eyes are closing, safe till dawns reposing.
When the birds in chorus, sing glad carols o're us.
 Fresh from slumber springing, we will join their singing,
love will fail us never, but o're us watch forever."
 

 Quatre watched quietly, he knew he was seeing something no one else would,
and he felt it was a sacred trust he had earned for the demon to let him witness the
tenderness he was showing to his sister.

 The girl had gone through so much, and the day meant to be one of her
happiest had turned into tragedy. She had lost two pieces of her soul and the other. .
. He looked down at his sleeping friend. WuFei had lately shown a different side of
himself. He was a piece of her soul, but for how long? What would happen to her
when they had to go back?

 Wufei. He looked down at his friend, When you do something, you always do it
in the hardest possible way, ne?
 
 

 Hiei stopped singing as Anja relaxed and her breathing evened out. He carefully re-stitched her arm where she had ripped the stitching out. And then he
looked up at the golden boy beside the Chinese. He is asking himself too. What will
happen to them when the Gundam team leaves. He is all she has left of her soul mates now.

 "It's a mess ne?" Quatre asked as he soothed Wufei's fevered brow.

 "Hn."

 He smiled lightly, "You sound like Heero."

 "Hn!" The Fire Youkai got off of the bed and unlocked and opened the door.
"I'll find K'rama." He said stiffly, "Watch them."
 
 

 When she woke up the second time Anja was in bed again but only Quatre
was in the room. She sat up slowly and clutched her arm in pain, "K'so!"

 Quatre started at the rough word coming from some soft lips. He hurried to
her side and tried to ease her back down.

 "No! Che!" She hissed in pain but stood up anyway and Quatre diverted his gaze and went to shut the door. When he turned back she was already wearing a one
piece underwear and her jeans. She slipped a comfortable loose T-shirt on and
socks, then Quatre opened the door again as she wrapped a scarf around her
shoulder to use as a sling. She took up Kuronue's hair and went to the closet, after
searching around awhile she found what she wanted. A small spinning wheel and a
small loom. Quatre watched helplessly as she spun the hair into thread and then brought the hand loom to the bed. She sat down by Wufei and wove her beloved's hair into cloth, ignoring the pain in her arm and the muscle spasms she experienced.

 "Anja maybe you should. . ."

 She silenced him with one glance, filled with such pain and longing that he
couldn't remember what he had been ready to say. She stitched together a vest to
match the one Kuronue had always worn and used his arm ties to tie it closed. Then
she put the vest on over her white shirt and laid back down. Hugging the vest to
herself.

 Quatre had watched her for hours, unsure of what time it was until he
noticed the setting sun and saw the red blood seeping through the T-shirts sleeve.
"You opened your stitches!" He cried.

 "I know." She replied weakly.

 "Why?!"

 "I haven't slept without him near me since I was eleven years old. I couldn't
start now." Then she blacked out and Quatre ran to get some help.
 
 

 "She did what!" Kurama ran to her room almost sliding past it as he
skittered inside.

 "She wove his hair into a vest and popped her stitches!" Quatre replied for
the umpteenth time.

 "Bakara." Kurama carefully stitched the wound again and sighed. Running
his hand over her face, "It will scar now you know?"

 Anja stirred a little and smiled, "Youko are the vain ones niisan. I'm ningen."

 Kurama laughed, "Ningen are just as vain, and you are far from being a  normal ningen  chibi-kun."

 She smiled at the pet name, "I'm taller than you Shuu-chan." Her voice was
dry and thin.

 "But I'm older."

 "I demand a retrial, I'm only mortal."

 He grinned, "We can do the retrial after you get better." Soft hands tucked
her in tightly, "For now rest and sleep hai?"

 She yawned and smiled, "Hai niisan."

 Kurama nodded, "Come on Quatre, we need to report to Mukuro on how
she's doing."

 The Arab looked at the two sleeping there once more then nodded and followed Kurama out.
 
 

 Mukuro was anxious, how could she have let this happen?! In her own
palace! When Kurama and Quatre entered she almost leapt at them! "How is she?"

 Kurama frowned, "She stressed her stitches to breaking twice and now is in a
pollen induced slumber though if she ever realizes I used poppy pollen on her she might never speak to me again."

 Quatre was amazed, "You drugged her?! I didn't even notice!"

 "I am the best thief in the Makai." Youko Kurama said lightly, "I could kill
you and you wouldn't realize it until the two halves of your body slid in opposite
directions."

 The boy blanched and wished the soft red headed boy would come back. "I
have to ah. . . go find Trowa." He hurried out.

 "What was she doing?" Mukuro asked.

 "She was weaving Kuronue's hair into a vest."

 "What?!"

 "She wanted him near." The Youko shrugged.

 "It's deep, maybe we should put a cast on her arm to insure she doesn't rip
the stitches out a third time."

 "It wouldn't hurt."

 Mukuro nodded, "Kai."

 "Hai Mukuro-sama?"

 "Get Kurama what he need's to build Anja a cast and be quick."

 "Hai." He ran out followed by the Youko.

 Mukuro sat down at her desk wishing Anja didn't dislike her healing
chamber so much. It would have been so much easier but the girl hatted enclosed places with a passion that bordered on terror.

 "Lady Mukuro!" Kai ran in a moment later.

 "What?"

 "Wufei is waking up my liege and the lady Anja is trying to heal him."

 "But she's hurt!" Mukuro bound up the steps with less than ladylike speed
and grabbed Anja's arms. "Bakara! What are you doing?!"

 "Just healing the concussion."

 "You are unwell Anja."

 "My type of healing takes no Youki, I'll be fine."

 Mukuro sat and watched carefully as Anja wove his song right. Not all of it,
but the part near his head, the beginning of the song. When that was whole Anja
laid back and wrapped her arms around him, instantly falling to sleep.

 "My daughter." Mukuro kissed her forehead, "Be brave my girl."
 
 

 Wufei woke up surrounded by the smell of pine forests and lilacs. Anja's
scent! He turned his head slowly to find her curled up next to him fully dressed.
Which was more than he could say for himself! Luckily he was covered in blankets.
He saw the bright white cast on Anja's arm and frowned, Someone was going to pay
for her pain! "Where is the justice in what happened in there." He growled, "I
demand justice for her pain."

 "I see your back to normal." Duo said from the shadows.

 "Hn."

 "It isn't broken you know." He told the other pilot. "She popped the stitches
a couple times and Mukuro ordered it put on until the wound heals so she doesn't
do it again."

 "What happened to Shura?"

 "He was taken back to his fathers kingdom and told to stay put." Duo
shrugged, "Not exactly even punishment, but he did lose his father." The pilot
sickened at the memory, "Man, remind me never to get her mad! I was training to be death and she still scares me!"

 Wufei tucked his loose hair behind his ear and looked thoughtfully at the girl
beside him. "She is a wonder, ne?"

 "Yeah, sure." Duo shrugged, "How ya doin'?"

 "I've taken worse."

 "Of course you have." Duo rolled his eyes.

 "Where is everybody?"

 "Picking up the pieces Shura didn't take with him and cleaning up the rest of the party."

 "Doesn't she have servants for that?"

 "We needed to do something man." Duo smiled, "I just came to tell you that
the ‘tween space is clear and we're going back to Earth today. Still no progress on
the whole time thing though."

 Wufei nodded.

 "Hiei insists on taking Anja through, he seams to be the only one of them
who can cross on his own though so they're sending a ferry girl to us named Botan."

 "Hn."

 "She's got a real bad driving reputation, Hiei said you might not survive it so
he'll take you too. We're all going to get enrolled in the college Kurama and Anja go
to while we're here, they have dorms, but if you want to stay with Anja she might
need you after. . . you know." He gestured to the battered hat that Anja clutched in one hand.

 "Hai." Wufei nodded, "But it would not be right. I will take a dorm room
also."

 Duo nodded and grinned, "We managed to save our laptops so getting us in
'll be easy as ABC and 123. And Mukuro said she would retrieve our Gundams and keep them here for us. She's a pretty cool person, I can see why Anja and Hiei like her so much."

   "What about money?"

 "Leave it to me." Duo grinned, "I wasn't the best pick pocket on L2 for
nothing."

 "I'm sorry I asked."

 The American just grinned. "Hey Wu-Man?"

 "Aa?"

 "I thought you were the classic male chauvinist, no offense, but what's up?"

 "I respect women Duo, and they can be very strong." Wufei explained, "Just after Meilan died, even though I didn't truly love her as a man loves a wife, being around women made me nervous, What if I failed them too? So I tried to avoid any contact with them if I could. One way I found to do that was to make them feel like I was against women completely."

 "That's the most you've ever told me about yourself in one sentence."

 "You needed to know." He replied.

 Anja stirred and Duo jumped, "Uhoh! That's the other reason why I'm here, gotta get K'rama."

 He was back in a moment with the fox who stood over the girl with a pouch
in his hands. Before he could sprinkle the contents out though, Anja snatched it
away. "You use Poppy pollen on me again and I'll rip off those pretty little ears of yours Youko." She growled.

 Duo and Wufei looked shocked and Kurama started to laugh and hugged her,
"Glad to have you back Imouto-chan." He licked her nose.

 Anja pulled away and wiped her nose off, "Uhuh, that didn't work for Kuro
and it wont work for you."

 Kurama pouted prettily, "Are you ready to go back? Hiei is waiting."

 Anja nodded and stood up with a yawn. "I can ride with Botan though."

 Kurama looked at her as if she was insane. "You actually want to ride with Botan?!"

 "It was fun."

 Kurama sweatdropped. "I think Hiei would be safer."

 Anja shrugged, "Ok."

 "Wow, that was easy."

 "He is taking Wufei too, right?"

 The fox nodded.

 Anja strapped on her sword and her hip sheath with her hand blade, and picked Canon up into her arms. "Ready." She smiled and slipped Kuronue's hat on her head.

 Duo giggled.

 "It makes a statement." Anja grinned.

 "Yeah, don't dress under the influence."

 "Ha ha, funny." Anja smiled and replied dryly.

 Hiei blurred into existence beside her, "Ready?"

 Anja nodded, "Thank you for cleaning my sword and blade."

 "Hn." Then they were both gone.

 Wufei had to be helped into his clothes but was ready when Hiei came back
into the room. "Ready." He spoke and was surprised when the fire demon picked
him up and started to run. Fast! Next thing he knew they were outside a lit temple.
Earths dark night sky above them.

 Anja was sitting talking to a girl with long blue hair and one with short
brown hair.

 "Keiko, Yuusuke is fine." Anja told the brown haired one, "And Yukina, Hiei and Kuwabara are ok too but we didn't get a chance to search for your brother this time."
 

 "That's ok." The girl said in a soft feminine voice.

 "How are you?" The other asked in a slightly lower voice.

 Anja shrugged and lowered her head, "You know me Keiko. I'm always fine."

           Keiko didn't look like she bought it but she choose that minute to look up,
"Hiei! Are the others coming?" Then she saw Wufei, "Who is this?"

 Anja ran to his side and helped his stand with her good arm, "This is Wufei,
Wufei, these are my friends Keiko and Yukina."

 "Ohayo." He greeted softly then turned to Anja, "You are hurting?"

 She shook her head, "Na."

 He looked like he would challenge that but just then a scream signaled the
others arrival. Quatre was screaming, Duo was laughing and screaming and the others were praying as the odd girl on an oar pulled off a few flips and dives before landing them. When she touched down, Duo jumped off and kissed the grass, "Land! Ah sweet land!"

 "Hn, Baka." Heero said as he tried to steady himself.

 "And this is Botan." Anja told Wufei with a grin.

 Wufei nodded to the girl. This old Earth would be. . . interesting.
 
 

 Anja was thankful they had told Shori the truth, otherwise she didn't know how they would have explained the laceration and cast. As it was Shori fussed over her and cried for her loss of Kuronue and Shura. Anja just let herself be held as her own tears wet Shori's apron. She was so much like her first Kaasan.

 She slept restlessly that night, the window was open, but she knew no one would creep in to be with her. No one would hold her or go fox form and curl up on her chest. No one. Not anymore. Her heart fell and she closed her eyes to block out the memory, but that only heightened it. She finally took her blanket and Canon downstairs and they slept on the couch.
 

 When she walked into class the next day everyone was whispering about the cast. Anja bit the inside of her cheek to keep from screaming at them and walked to her desk near Kurama.

 "Class we have five new students joining us today." The teacher announced. Anja smiled as the Gundam pilots walked in. "This is Trowa, Heero, Duo, Quatre, and. . ."

  "Wufei! Hey guys! Cool we got the same class!" She waved.

 The teacher smiled patiently at her. "Anja you seam to know them already." He said, "so I'm sure then that they will feel very welcome here, hai?"

 She nodded with a large grin and they moved to sit behind her, Wufei sat with her and Kurama. "I forgot to ask you to sign my cast." She whispered.

 Wufei smiled and took it his pen. With deepest love get well soon, Wu Fei Chang.

 Anja smiled and kissed his cheek starting off gossip all over the room.

 Finally lunch came round, they all sat together to eat and then Anja and Wufei went outside for awhile before they would be called back to class.

 "How are you doing?" He asked her.

 She frowned, "I had to sleep on the couch last night."

 "Why?"

 "Kuronue and Shura used to come in through the window at night, and hold
me while I slept. I don't have the heart to close the window, but open it just reminds
me, so I slept on the couch."

 Wufei hugged her, "Aa, Anja, I'm sorry."

 She looked up at him and smiled, "It wasn't your fault, It wasn't anyone's
fault but Yomi's and he paid."

 He shook his head and smoothed some errant stands of hair from her face.

 "Hey Anja! Where's your prince Shura?" A girl snickered, "Did he turn into a frog?"

 Anja tensed and turned from the comfort of Wufei's embrace. "I would not go
there if I were you." She frowned calmly.

 "But we aren't a thing like you, thank God, so we go where we like. What did
he dump you?"

 "You see this cast?" Anja asked.

 "So?"

 "Does it make me seam less threatening to you? You think because I can't use
one arm I couldn't beat you bloody just as quickly? Would you like to try me?"

 "As if you would. . ." The girls eyes went wide as Anja stepped toward them fist raised. Thankfully Wufei grabbed her arm, "They aren't worth getting in trouble Anja."

 The girls were running when Anja looked back at them. She picked up a
pebble and threw it at the head of the girl who had insulted her. It hit perfectly.
"OW!"

 Anja just smiled and turned around.

 "You don't have to act tough around me Anja." He soothed, "Don't hold
anger inside it isn't good for you."

 "Is it true you think that girls are inferior?"

 "What?"

 "I was listening to your friends and they seem to think you see girls as
inferior. The solitary dragon they called you."

 "I've had a lot of pain." Wufei said softly, "I have dealt with it alone. I was
taught that pain was a weakness, and I didn't want the others to think I was weak."

 Anja smiled, "You aren't weak Wufei."

 "Since I've been here I've learned that. I have finally learned what peace and
justice really are. I learned them when I learned the meaning of love."

 "And what is the meaning of love?" Anja asked intrigued.

 "You." Wufei tilted his head and pressed his lips to hers.

 Anja melted into his embrace and smiled against his lips.

 Kurama pulled them apart.

 "Um. . ." Anja started.

 "Let me finish for you." Her niisan growled, "Busted."
