A/N: PLOT BUNNY POWER! I'm feeling really good about this story, there aren't enough Fairy tale Bleach crossover thingys.

Pairings: RenRuki, ByaHisa, RanGin, with a dash of UlquiHime, KiraHina, HisagiIsane (I would give them an abbreviated name, but I don't think they officially have one...)

I don't own Bleach.

In a beautiful kingdom far away, there lived a beautiful...wait, you actually want to know where the Kingdom is? Gee, that never happens. Well, it's in a country called Soul Society. Anyway, in a beautiful kingdom far away, there lived a be- oh, what now? You want to know what the kingdom is called. Geez, this never happens in the actual fairy tale! In the actual fairy tale, you just say they live in a nice kingdom and no one cares! They could live in Pluto, as long it's a nice kingdom!

Fine, In the beautiful Kingdom of Seretei, in the bountiful land of Soul Society, there lived a beautiful princess. Her name was Rukia.

Her last name will not be divulged for security reasons.

Anyway, Rukia was the younger sister of the Queen of the Kingdom, the lovely Lady Hisana. Their parents died in a tragic death just after Rukia was born, as most princess' parents do for some reason, leaving Hisana with the throne. Unfortunately, Hisana was frail and sick. Not dying, just...frail. It made running the Kingdom kinda hard. Seeing as Rukia was just a babe, she sent Rukia away to live with three wonderful fairies...

...wait...that's the wrong fairy tale...Crap!

Okay, scratch that. Seeing as Rukia was just a babe, she decided to take a husband to help run the Kingdom, and thus, married Sir Szayel Aporro Grantz of the neighboring Kingdom of Las Noches. Sadly, of all the other suitors, he was the best pick. A little depressing, but you gotta pick your battles. Unfortunately and coincidentally, Hisana soon fell into a deep coma after her marriage. There wasn't any hidden agenda, or evil wizard who put her into the coma, it's just that these things just tend to happen to all the people who make the protagonists life not completely suck in fairy tales. So, Rukia's lovely sister and beloved Queen fell into a coma, and Syazel ruled the land as the King. Now, you guys (hopefully) know Szayel; the dude's kinda vain. As such, he had a beautiful magic mirror in his possession and would often ask it,

Mirror mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?

To which the mirror would reply,

I've know you for years, man, can't you call me by my actual name?

…

-sigh- It's you my King. You're the fairest. But, that Rukia is growing to be a pretty fine woman. You better watch out, she's going to grow up to be one hot chick.

Out of jealousy and paranoia, the King locked-wait, wrong story again.

Out of jealousy and paranoia, the King forced fair Rukia to a life of servitude. Dressed in a maids shift and covered in dirt, the princess worked and waited for her dear sister to awaken. But if that didn't happen by the time she was sixteen, she was taking that fruity bastard they called 'King' down. Hard.

And that, is where our story begins.

On Rukia's fifteenth birthday, she was out at the wishing well, collecting some fresh water for Szayel's flowers, muttering curses at the bastard and wondering why he even had flowers. He was a man! They don't have flowers! Live ones, anyway. Dressed in a tattered brown dress, with a simple white apron and simple brown shoes, Rukia didn't look like a princess. At all. She was beautiful though, he raven black hair was silky and shone in the light, he eyes sparkling like gems. And it wasn't from happiness, it was from the sunlight. When they sparkled from happiness, you were pretty much powerless against the dazzling beauty. Her skin was smooth and flawless, and pale like sweet cream. Unfortunately, the nick name "Cream Rukia" sounded weird, so the townsfolk exaggerated and called her "Snow Rukia". Reaching her wooden pail into the well, a small robin lighted next to her on the wishing well ledge. Rukia looked surprised, but smiled kindly at the small bird.

"Hey Momo. How's life as a bird?"

The small robin was named Momo, previously a young maid and Rukia's friend in the castle. However, Syazel was also a great sorcerer and scientist, and afraid that Momo's soft innocent beauty would surpass his own, enchanted her into a morning robin. Rukia was unaware of this, and named the robin Momo because she found the bird eerily similar to her friend. If only she knew...

A similar thing happen with Rukia's nursemaid, a maiden named Isane. However, Isnae was transformed into a timid blue jay. Once again, Rukia was unaware, and fondly named the Isane, for her lost friend.

Isnae and Momo were her best and only friends. Both as humans and birds.

Momo chirped happily, wanting to sing a morning song. Because she was a robin, and that's what robins did. Isane hopped closer to Rukia, urging her to sing. Rukia had a lovely voice, rich and strong and sweet like the best chocolate, not the obnoxious high pitched over sugary voice of the actual Disney Snow White. Gah, she's sooo annoying...

Rukia let a gush of air exit her mouth, blowing a single strand of hair out of her face, only for it to fall back to it's place between her eyes, extending down to brush the tip of her nose. She liked singing, but still...what if someone heard her? Momo chirped again and Rukia stood up straight, nodding confidently. "Yeah! No one else is around, I can do what I want!" She turned to Momo grinning. "Thanks Momo!"

Momo chirped happily.

Rukia spun around, swinging her wooden bucket happily.

Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things

She sung sweetly and clearly, blissfully unaware of the outside world.

Or the captivated young prince, who was very coincidentally walking by. Because every fairy tale needs a young prince that coincidentally walks by as the lovely female protagonist is singing. Meet Prince Renji Abarai, adopted heir to the throne of the "Bad" Side of the Kingdom, Rukongai. He was very tall and built, and could send any woman swooning with a confident smirk. With sharp chocolate cinnamon eyes, long crimson hair tied into a quirky ponytail, and jagged tattoos to mark his triumphs, he was the living incarnate of Hot BadBoy goodness. Set atop his noble steed, a pale brown (almost pink) mare, he was riding by the palace of the Seretei, casually going by his business. While the Seretei was a little too...clean...for his tastes, he came by often because they had all the good food and sake here. Quality stuff.

Anyway, Renji was clopping along atop Zabimaru (the horse), when he heard a lovely voice singing what seemed to be...The Lion King? He shrugged, Eh, she makes it work. Her voice was rich and sweet, yet wild and untamed, reminding him of his younger days in Rukongai district 78. True, that place was a hellhole, but they had great music. Dismounting and pulling Zabimaru to the side of the road, he began to climb the stone wall barricading him from the lovely voice. As the climbed the vine covered wall (the vines were very conveniently placed for his climbing needs), the sweet voice got louder and clearer and he hastened his climb to the top.

So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past? Impossible!
She'd turn away from me

Renji finally made his way to the top of the stone cement wall, panting and vowing to work out more. He then dropped down into a thicket of bushes, letting out a muffled "Oof!" as he fell. Staying as still and silent as possible, which was pretty still and silent (he used to be a thief, give him some credit), he waited until what he hoped to god was a fair maiden shrug off his "Oof" and resume singing.

He's holding back, he's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the king I know he is
The king I see inside?

Renji slyly pushed the bushes back and set his eyes on the loveliest woman he'd ever seen. Petite and smiling, she looked like a perfect china doll. Her eyes enchanted him, glistening like stars from the heavens, blissful and free. Her raven hair was silky and shone, begging his hands to run through the strands and test their softness. Her perfectly structured face was smiling, her lips plump and full.

Damn, she is FINE. Renji thought, completely smitten, as he leaned forward adoringly. To far, actually, and he fell out of the thicket in plain sight, covered in leaves. Oh boy. Renji slowly looked up to see the lovely angel looking at him, embarrassed according to soft pink gracing her cheeks, and pissed off as hell, according to her shaking fists. Renji coughed. "Um. Hi?"

The extremely pissed off angel, looking now more like a goddess in Renji's eyes, let out a strangled scream of anger and stormed off. Renji's eyes widened. He was not going to let the potential love of his life walk away without getting her name first! If he had her name, he could come back, but without it he was screwed to a life of regret! He scrambled up and dashed after her.

"Wait! WAIT!" She heard him call behind her desperately, and she whirled on him angrily. "WHAT?!" she snapped. He grinned, nervously, to her sadistic pleasure. "Uh, hi. I'm sorry that I-"

"Trespassed on my property, and spied on me?" she seethed. The handsome stranger gulped. Wait, handsome?! Rukia thought furiously. No! Well, he is pretty hot...No! Focus! He nervously fiddled with his hands. "Uh, yes?" She gave him a withering glare, and continued to storm off. He ran up after her. "Wait! What's your name?" She aimed a Glaowl, a perfect mixture of a Death Glare and Scowl, perfected over her years of serving her dear King as a maid. Bastard. As predicted, he shrank back from the evil intent, but held his ground. Impressive. Rukia thought grudgingly. He didn't run off screaming. "My name is Renji Abarai." He gave a cheeky little bow, it was pretty cute...FOCUS! Her head screamed. "And may I ask the name of the lovely lady?" He asked grinning boyishly. Rukia scowled. Damn, that's adorable. Bastard. She sighed. "Rukia." Renji blinked and repeated, "Rukia? As in the legendary Snow Rukia, princess of the Seretei?" Rukia scwoled. "What's your point?" Renji blinked and said, "Oh, I just, uh, didn't expect you to be so...um...."

"Dirty?" She shot at him furiously. Figures he'd judge by appearances. Stupid Prince of Rukongai. "Shabby?"

Renji blushed bright red, clashing horribly with his hair. "I was, uh, going to say beautiful. Ya know, in that cute china doll kinda way. And, um. Yeah. I'm just gonna stop talking now." He looked away, flustered. He wasn't used to complimenting girls for real! Or complimenting girls when he was sober! Rukia blinked. Oh. Um...Damn, that's nice. Rukia flushed pink again, and fiddled with her worn out apron. "Oh. Um. Thanks. What're you doing out here anyway?" Renji opened his mouth to answer when...

"RUKIA! HAVE YOU WATERED MY PLANTS YET?! I NEED YOU TO DO THE LANDRY!" Rukia twitched and muttered, "Geez, what am I, Cinderella?" She gave a small curtsy to Renji. "Later, I have...stuff. Yeah...stuff, that'll work." And with that, she raced away into the castle. Renji moved to follow and held out his hand, "Hey! Rukia!" The wooden door closed with a snap, and her footsteps faded away. As soon as she got a ways down the corridor, she leaned against the stone wall, smiling and holding the wooden pail to her chest. "Hmmmm...Renji Abarai." She murmured, tasting the sound of his name on her tongue. Yummy. He's even cuter then Chappy! Blushing red at the thought, the princess returned to her work, flustered and smiling.

Outside, Renji exhaled slowly, and ran a hand through his firery hair. Grinning slowly, he looked at the door the princess just vanished through like a lovesick puppy.

"Mmmmm." He sighed. "Rukia..."

Momo and Isane exchanged glances, from their perch on a tree branch, watching the two teens. What do you think? Momo chirped quizzically. Isane pondered for a minute.I think, Isane twittered, that things are going to get interesting. They looked back towards the happy prince, who was climbing up the wall, humming the song Rukia had been singing merrily, before jumping over happily and bursting into the actual lyrics.

Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things!

The two enchanted birds looked at each other again. Yup, Isane warbled, things are going to get very interesting.
