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

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..."
