Alright so here I am making another Cat Returns story. Only this time it will be a crossover with some characters from Bleach. Now there is a pairing for this story it meant seem a bit different, but I think it could work. The pairing is Baron x Orihime and the summary is actually really simple. Also this stories events happen a few days before the events of my second Cat Returns story which was titled, "To Stay By Your Side".

Okay so here is the summary it's been one year after the second part of the Fake Karakura Town arc. (if Aizen and Gin are killed by the end of it that is) Things are back to normal, but when Orihime passes by an opened doorway and sees her best friend Tatsuki and Ichigo (the one who she had confessed her love for while he was sleeping) kissing one another she tries to tell herself that she was just seeing things. But when they tell her that they are dating she runs out of the room completely heart broken. Now that she has arrived in Tokyo can she find a place to stay and tell someone her story. But when Baron hears of her sad story besides that can he help her or will his assistance just do more harm then good.

Okay so that's about it and now on with the story.

I don't own anything.

Finding Refuge

It was warm summers day as 17 year old Orihime Inoue walked down one of many sidewalks of Tokyo Japan with a suitcase over her shoulder. The young woman was wearing a light pink short sleeve shirt with a very light pink skirt as she sighed wondering what she should do now that she had arrived in the city since this morning as she crossed the road when the light had changed green. On the one hand she did not need to worry about school since she had already transferred her grades and records from Karakura High to the local high school that she was going to start going to this coming fall. And thankfully after she had written to her uncle and aunt who had been paying for the bills back at her old home they said that they would still pay for her schooling and put some money in her bank account every other month.

"Okay so I'm here now and everything is taken care of expect for a place to live." The young woman thought, as she came across the crossroads and found a table to sit on. But while she lowered herself onto the chair she let out a sigh and said, "Maybe I could think of somewhere to go after I sit down and give my feet a break."

When she went to sit down on the chair though it felt much too soft to be a normal chair and when she heard something groan she gasped and turned around as she asked in surprise, "W-What was that?"

She then looked down and saw that she had almost accidently sat on a large white cat as she replied, "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know that you were sitting there."

The large white cat just turned his head and glared at the high student as she sat down in the chair that was next to the animal as she let out a sigh and placed her suitcase in front of her legs as she said, "I just wish I could find someone who could help me." She then looked and saw that, that statement had caught the cat's attention as his left ear twitched as she went on with, "I guess I've got your attention, huh? Well, you see I actually walked all the way here from Karakura Town yesterday." Hearing this caused the cat to sit up and stare at her in surprise as she let out a nervous giggle as she continued with, "Yeah I know I wasn't expecting myself to be able to do it either. But I was able to pull it off somehow." Her expression then sadden as she ended with, "Although I-I had to leave my old home...because I knew that it would hurt too much if I had stayed there any longer."

She felt a few tears fell from her face and as she wiped them away she gasped when someone replied, "Hey, don't cry I think I know someone who can help you. All you have to do is follow me."

Orihime jumped up in surprise from hearing the voice as she asked, "W-Who's there?" She then looked to the white cat that was sitting across from her as she asked him, "Did you just talk to me?"

The cat nodded as he jumped off of the chair and started to run down a street. Not quite sure what to do the young woman grabbed her suitcase and gave chase trying to keep up with the cat as she begged, "Please wait for me!"

The orange haired girl then looked to her right and turned a corner as she continued to follow the large cat wondering where he could possibly be taking her. And before she knew it she was jumping up or down small ledges, was running on top of a roof, running down a stairway, and then in an alleyway. But when she stepped out from behind the trash cans she gasped at what she saw. There standing up now on it's hind legs was that same white cat and as he continued to walk somewhere she decided to follow him as she stood up straight and walked under the bridge. To the high school students surprise there were quite a few small houses around the area as she let out, "Wow I've never seen such small houses before I wonder who they belong to."

She then continued to walk a little bit until she saw that same white cat who was taking a newspaper out from a small red mailbox as she asked, "So um, where is this person that you said could help me?"

The large white cat nodded as he shouted, "Hey Baron, I found us a new client! And don't even think about doing that light show of yours because it's still daytime!"

Orihime titled her head a bit in confusion as she tried to figure out what was going on. But before she ask any questions the door to the green house that she was standing in front of slowly began to open causing her to take a few steps back in surprise. She was even more surprised when she realized that a light blush had crossed her face when she saw exactly who or maybe more so what had started to walked outside. There walking towards her was a small humanoid cat with green eyes and who had orange fur on the top of his head while a cream color was on the bottom part of it. The cat also was wearing a light gray suit with matching pants and top hat. And he also appeared to be holding onto a cane as he removed the top and placed it against his heart as he greeted her with, "Good day madam, and welcome to the Bureau."
