Disclaimer – I do not own either Bleach or Kingdom Hearts.

Warning – Has OC's – They play a good part but in later chapters will take a back seat.

This is a crossover between Bleach and Kingdom Hearts.

As for Kingdom Hearts the war is still going on and there is no such thing as Xemnas, but Ansem instead. And Riku is with Sora and the rest, it's like they won the war first but didn't actually win as Ansem and some of the nobodies are still alive and some heartless (Maybe).

Bleach - I do know that there is a Royal family but whether the King has kids or a wife I don't, so that you know in this story he does.

Also this takes place after the Diamond Dust Rebellion, - spoiler – something from this movie will be mentioned.

Note - I have not yet decided if there will be pairings, defiantly no crossover pairings.

"Talking"

'Thoughts'

09/2011 – Mildly revised Chapter

~ Begins now! ~

"Getsuga Tensho!" An orange haired boy shouted, lightly panting from exertion. He heaved a heavy sigh muttering, "Takes care of that." While sheathing his zanpakuto or more precisely placing it behind him on his back.

"Ichigo!"

"Huh." Blinking the startled boy spun around his eyes lightly alighting as he recognized the person.

"Rukia!"

A black haired soul reaper came up to him in human form in a school uniform. She lightly panted from exertion as she had run all the way there while in her gigai.

"Well, looks like you took care of the hollows."

The boy named Ichigo scoffed, while crossing his arms, "They were small fries. It's weird ever since we rescued Orihime there have been no appearances from the arrancars."

Some time ago Aizen had set a few arrancars to the world of the living, attacking the soul reaper squad posted there. While behind the scene Ulquiorra targeted Orihime while she was on her way back from the soul society. After her disappearance Ichigo along with Chad and Uryu left for Hueco Mundo to rescue her, meeting up with Renji and Rukia. But since then a week or so had passed and only low level hollows appeared.

Rukia crossed her arms, her brows furrowed.

"Yeah, it's been quiet."

"Well other then the low level hollows." Ichigo uttered, a frown marring his features.

"True."

Scowling Ichigo growled out, "That just means that Aizen is up to something…something new."

Rukia looked sky ward as she quietly muttered, "Something… but nothing good."

Something ominous hung in the air…

~ Royal Palace ~

Kaboom!

Sounds of explosion echoed throughout the place, people shouted some confused while others heading to the source.

"This way!" A young servant yelled, trying to get his companions to safety.

Another explosion rocked the building, dust and smoke mingling together.

As the servant and the few others turned the corner a powerful red beam struck them, there cries immediately silenced as what was once bodies became ash.

"There's one!" A member of the royal guard shouted. Pulling his sword out he signaled to the two other guards with him and he leapt at the intruder.

A fist came towards him causing the guard to jump to the left and round up to his opponent's side, slashing his sword down. A thin cut appeared on the side of the arrancar, clearly displeased at being cut the arrancar turned and threw a 'cero'.

Just before the red beam struck him a force knocked into him causing him to fall. As the guard regained his senses he noted that his fellow guard had been the one to knock him out of the way.

"Thanks." The guard uttered as his companion helped him up, momentarily safe as their other comrade was attacking the arrancar.

"Let's get him." And the two of them charged intending to put an end to this arrancar.

As the arrancar slammed two of the guards down the final one took his chance and summoned the power of his sword and launched it at the arrancar. Just as the arrancar turned he was hit by the blast and a huge explosion took place. Dust and smoke rising up from the after effects, "Did I get him?" The guard murmured.

The royal guard was joined by his two comrades, one on each side of him, all three of them in anxiety. As the smoke slowly died down each guard swiftly looked for any sign of the arrancar, just as the middle guard took a step a red beam shot out of the smoke and right at them. The guard brought up his sword in an attempt to block, but it was too late the blast struck all three of them.

"Hehe slimes." The arrancar slurred out as he disappeared from the area in search of new victims.

Just as the arrancar vanished a guard came around the corner his thoughts on nothing save for his destination. He was lightly coated in dust with a few scratches here and there but otherwise he was in good shape, especially considering where he had just come from.

'It's strange' the guard thought, 'how in the world did the arrancars manage to get here?' But as hard as he tried he had no clue and frankly it really didn't matter, the point was that they were here and he had to protect the royal family. He was not just a minor guard but the leader of the royal guards, the captain.

And all guards wore a uniform that was silver streaked with blue, but unlike his fellow members he had gold trimming instead of the blue and had the words 'captain' etched into his uniform.

He panted heavily as he turned down a corridor that was leading him farther and farther away from the main battles.

'She must be in one of her many rooms that were not located near the throne room.' It was quite irritating but in hind sight a good thing since she was away from all the chaos. But it wouldn't be long before the fighting reached that far.

A low growl tore from his throat as the building shook causing a few pieces of the wall to brake off and land on the hard marble floor becoming debris.

The guard took the last turn and his eyes alighted to the set of double doors that stood just a few feet ahead, he had reached his destination, a small relieved smile crossing his features.

Inside the very decorative spacious room, at the window stood a young female with white blondish hair that fell just below her shoulders. She looked to be about eighteen years of age but if one looked closer and into her deep blue eyes one could see that she was much older. She wore a light brown shirt and dark brown short jean shorts with a sword strapped to her back.

Faint sounds of screaming could be heard even though she was this far away from the commotion. It also meant that the fight was dragging closer and wouldn't be long before it reached here.

A heavy tired sigh escaped the girl as she turned away from the window and headed over to her dresser. Placed just before her wrapped in cloth was a very important and valuable artifact, in the wrong hands destruction would be sure to come. She picked it up gently even though it wasn't an easy item to brake and pocketed it.

As another shock wave shot through the building the girl sighed heavily and closed her eyes while crossing her arms. The shouting was getting closer now as she could almost make out some words, the rest of her thought process was stilled as the door swung open. At first her mind thought that it was one of the intruders but her better sense of judgment told her otherwise as the presence felt familiar.

"My Lady!"

The said girl opened her eyes and muttered, "Kinshiba."

The person at the door panted heavily while taking in grateful breaths of air as he then spoke, "Oh, Lady Claire thank the heavens! I am so glad you are here, I was half afraid that you wouldn't be."

Claire nodded but didn't say a word as she uncrossed her arms.

"Come, we have to get out of here! It's not safe!"

"True." Clare stated. Turning to face Kinshiba the leader of the royal guards and the one person in the entire palace she felt close to. She told him practically everything, sometimes not in so many words. He was also the only one who probably understood her the most and was quite good at being able to tell what she was thinking at given times. She was sometimes a bit unreadable as she was not fond of being easily read. And Sometimes – do to trauma she would go blank for a short while.

Shaking her head to rid herself of her thoughts she headed towards Kinshiba, he turned and started to back out when she asked; "My father?"

Kinshiba froze for a few seconds before glancing back at her, "The King didn't make it."

Clare's eyes hit the floor as she quietly murmured, "I see."

No more words were said as the two of them ran down the corridor, after a few twists and turns the silence was broken by Kinshiba, "This way, I know of a secret passage that we can use since it's most likely that the entrances and exits are being guarded."

"Alright."

A few corridors down Kinshiba was forced to screech to a halt, Clare right behind him. Before them blocking their way stood an anrrancar; with blue hair and the number six in carved on his body, while his arms were crossed. His eyes were a chilling blue color that seemed unnatural.

Kinshiba immediately unsheathed his sword and held it at the ready, while Clare backed up a pace but placed her hand on her sword.

As a member of the Royal family it was unheard of for anyone to know the art of fighting but Claire was not like the rest of them. From a young age, swords had fascinated her and after much debating she had convinced the King, her father to allow her to take lessons. So she was the only one of the Royal family that could fight but Claire doubted she would be able to take on an arrancar, maybe a low level hollow. As she lacked experience so the chances of winning for her were slim but she would aid Kinshiba if she had to.

She would not stand by and do nothing.

The sixth espada uncrossed his arms and smirked, "Two little flies. Hmm, names Grimmjow Jagger Jack, the sixth espada." He continued smirking but knew he didn't have all the time in the world as he was supposed to find the new ruler and the Ouin.

Kinshiba frowned and glared furiously at the enemy, "So."

Grimmjow's eyes narrowed, "So? Do you actually think that either one of you stand a chance against me? Please. I bet I would have more of a challenge fighting a soul reaper."

Grimmjow took a step forward, "In fact I know I would have more of a challenge fighting a soul reaper."

Kinshiba only glared harder as he too took a step forward, "I am the leader of the Royal Guards and I assure you I am no push over."

Grimmjow snorted and lunged forward, only for his punch to be blocked by the other's sword. The sixth espada broke contact as Kinshiba lunged his sword straight at Grimmjow's stomach. The blow was dodged as Grimmjow swung his leg up and connected to Kinshiba's head, causing Kinshiba to slam against the wall denting it as he landed in a heap, blood flowing down the side of his face as he struggled to rise.

"Kinshiba!"

"No! Stay where you are!" Kinshiba shouted as he pushed to his knees.

"Humph. See no match at all." The blue eyed espada stated with a scoff in his voice as he turned his attention to the inactive girl a few paces away. He took in the girl but noted her lack of armor and she couldn't be a servant as they didn't carry around swords. "So who exactly are you? You don't look to be a servant and you aren't wearing any armor." Voicing his thoughts. "You can't be from the Royal family they don't fight, so what is your relation?"

Claire's eyes narrowed as she glared at the imposing figure of the espada, "That doesn't concern you."

A scoff escaped Grimmjow as Kinshiba finally got to his feet and was now in a defensive position, as Grimmjow replied "Your right it doesn't concern me, seeing as you both are going to die right here!" This time instead of attacking with fists he launched a 'cero' at the two of them, giving Kinshiba no time to react. While Claire stood frozen with wide eyes.

Just as the blast hit and smoke arose shouting could be heard. As the smoke settled a smirking Grimmjow stared ahead waiting to see the damage, only to lose his smirk upon the new figure of the person before him. Somehow this guard had deterred his 'cero' without it injuring himself or the other two.

"And who are you?" Grimmjow asked with annoyance not really caring who this person was.

The person glanced up his sword positioned before him, "Alec of the Royal Guards."

"Humph, well now I get to kill three people instead of two." Grimmjow stated.

"Don't bet on it." Alec voiced.

"No! I will handle this you two get out of here!" Kinshiba shouted as he stepped in front of Alec with slight difficulty.

"But…"

"No buts! I will stall him, but you must get out of here, understand?" Kinshiba interrupted.

Alec's lips thinned, "Yes of course Captain." Alec quickly shifted his attention, turning to Claire.

"None of you are going anywhere!" Grimmjow shouted blasting another cero.

Alec cursed as he grabbed Claire by the arm and swiftly made it pass Grimmjow ignoring the blonde's cries to stop, and something about helping Kinshiba.

However before Alec and Claire could reach the end of the corridor a sizzling blast of heat came from behind them and a force knocked into them and pushed them forward.

Claire screeched "Kinshiba!" As the two of them felt as if they were falling a fair distance before they hit a hard rough surface.

Claire opened her eyes to discover that she was on her back as her sword's sheath digged into her back causing pain to slowly develop. Before her Alec stood on his feet surprisingly, but panting heavily with sweat marring his face.

"What happened?" Claire asked. Her eyes seeing what looked like buildings and she knew that they were no longer at the palace, even the smell was different.

"I'm not sure." Alec muttered jarring Claire from her musings as she had not been expecting a response.

Just as she was about to say something Alec suddenly collapsed, "Alec!" Claire shouted, springing to a sitting position as she stared at the comatose guard.

She shifted onto her knees as her eyes racked over the fallen guard, noting that his thigh was bleeding profusely and the side of his head was also bleeding. He must have gotten injured doing that last attack. Claire breathed in a lung full of air noting that a sharp pain went through her body she quickly started checking herself over noting that she was clean just very badly bruised.

Sighing Claire went to go over to her fallen guard when the sounds of footsteps reached her ears, in a flash her hand was on her sword and she stilled. She slowed her breathing as the figure grew closer and her eyes looking for any sudden movement that would indicate an attack.

Just as she went to draw her sword a feminine voice called out, "Please. I do not mean any harm."

Claire scoffed, "And how do I know that you are telling the truth?"

The figure emerged and before her stood a young woman in a pinkish dress with brown hair; she held her hands before her in a gesture of peace. Her face was also one of peace and gentle patience as she regarded the scene before her.

"As you can see I carry no weapon."

Sure enough no weapon was visible but still that meant nothing so Claire glared at the person before her, her hand still on the handle of her sword.

The woman only smiled kindly at Claire's obvious mistrust, "Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Aeirth."

~ That's the end of the first chapter! ~

I thought about doing a crossover simply because I have never seen a crossover concerning Bleach and Kingdom Hearts. I have seen plenty of Bleach/Naruto and Bleach/HP and since I like a few of them I thought I would do something different.
