I just saw the first four eps of Ruronin Kenshin, a chunk of the Tenchi
 TV series, and Highlander recently and came up with this...
 What if Kenshin (or Yahiko or Kaworu) were immortal (a la Highlander)?
 And what if Yoshio was once a student of Kaworu (or Kaworu's
 father--yeah I know that would make it part of the OAV continuity
 but...)  Actually the whole Tenchi thing could be dropped and just have
 one (or more) of the Kenshin characters as immortals.  How would Kenshin
 have dealt with Kaworu's death while he stayed young?  How would Kaworu
 deal with having to kill to survive?  This would proabably end up being
 pretty dark.
 Anyone want to take it?

	If you were to make Kenshin an immortal, you'd have to do it
sometime after he got the second part of the cross-scar; so after
Tomoe's death. Actually, you could put it right after her death,
potentially....

	Would Seijuro Hiko (Kenshin's master) also be an immortal then?
Hell, he's even older than Kenshin, and he looks far too young for his
age, too...

Actually, I had a scary thought.  What if Saitoh was an immortal.....  ^_^;

There's a lot of guys in Kenshin who'd be pretty nasty as immortals,
actually....

       I've only seen eight episodes of Ruroni Kenshin, but the Highlander
crossover discussion thread brought up this thought:

       How about a Kenshin/Xena crossover?  The basic premise of the two
shows is similar enough.

	I'd actually given some thought to this crossover idea before....
As to the two different time periods, well, Xena already spans several
thousand
years of history, actually, even more than that-- from the formation of
Stonehenge to David vs. Goliath to Caesar and the birth of Jesus.
	Have her taken a little trip or something into Japan when she was in
Chin (her past), and her and Gabrielle (her present now) meet Kenshin again
during his wanderings (after the Bakumatsu, but before Kaoru). Have Xena know
something about the Hitokiri Battousai, and have her be away from Gabrielle
when Kenshin meets Gabby, and <poof!> there's your meeting.
	A bit of a half-baked idea of mine, mind you-- I'm sure there are better
ways to handle it....
