Hi! To start, there will DEFINITELY be romance in this story...count on it! It will just be coming a bit later. This is a GintamaxBleach crossover story that doesn't exactly "crossover". It's just other characters in Gintama.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Bleach

ANOTHER DISCLAIMER: I don't own Gintama

Sougo lay sleeping peacefully in a room of the Shinsengumi headquarters. He was so still, it seemed like he wasn't sleeping at all. And he wasn't. All of a sudden, the sliding door to his right was swung open by a certain Demon Vice-Commander. As the door opened, Toshiro Hijikata stepped into the room, allowing a large gust of wind to sweep over his sleeping subordinate. Normally, Sougo was used to Hijikata interrupting his naps. But today, the breeze that swept over his body sent many chills down his spine. Sogo silently raised his hand to remove a leaf that had fallen onto his slumbering face. He removed his sleep mask and peeked an eye out to look at Toshiro.

"Hijikata-san," he complained. "What gives?"

The short-tempered vice commander simply loomed over Sougo, mumbling something under his breath.

"There's a weird feeling in the air." Hijikata told him. Sougo slowly sat up and tucked the sleeping mask into his pocket. Although he already understood what his vice captain was talking about, he asked anyway.

"What do you mean by weird?"

Hijikata glared down at Sougo, annoyed.

"Obviously I mean the current of the wind." Hijikata said. "It's off. Not only that, but doesn't it give you a strange feeling?" Right on time, a large gust of wind blew into the room. A horrendous roar echoed in the distance. The shiver Sougo had felt earlier came back, even harder this time. He wrapped his arms around his shoulders, rubbing them slightly. He stared straight ahead.

What was that? It's not an extremely bad feeling, but I don't like it either. Why do I have such a strange feeling?

"Heeh, so you DO feel it." Hijikata commented, snapping Okita out of his thoughts. Sougo then realized that Hijikata was observing him closely. Quickly, he put his arms back at his sides and replaced the uneasiness on his face with nonchalance.

"I think all that tobacco and mayonnaise has finally gone to your head." Sougo replied with indifference, though that was clearly wasn't what he was actually feeling. "Congratulations Hijikata-san. You've successfully become a vegetable."

A vein pulsed from Hijikata's forehead and he clenched his fists as Okita hoisted himself onto his feet and walked out of the room.

Orihime Inoue clasped both sides of her head to keep it in place. Her head was spinning and her thoughts were running wild. What the hell had just happened to her? 24 hours ago, she was training in Karakura Town to become stronger, using hollow bait to summon hollows. She had gone to tell Urahara-san that she was ready to be tested and then had somehow ended up in Urahara's lab. Next thing she knew, she had landed somewhere that was not Karakura-chou, with 100's of hollows on her tail. She heard a roar in the distance and could feel the reiastu of hollows. They had followed her there. Frightened, she got up and ran to the nearest refuge, trying to figure out what was going on. She stumbled across a bar and headed inside. The first thing she saw was the robot maid sweeping the floors. She rubbed her eyes a couple times, but the android continued to do her chores; unaware of Orihime's stare.

"Can I help you?" A rough yet gentle voice asked. Orihime turned to the sound and found an old lady smoking a cigarette behind an island. Next to her stood what Orihime perceived to be a woman with cat ears in a kimono. Her face was not all that pleasant.

"A-ano…Konichiwa. I'm Inoue Orihime." Orihime glanced to a television in the corner of the room. "Where am I?" The old lady looked at her with arched eyebrows.

"Why, you're in Edo my dear." Otose answered. "The Kabukicho district actually." Orihime's eyes widened, and blood drained from her face.

"E-Edo?!" she cried. "You mean like, Edo as in JAPANESE PERIOD?! Like the shit I learn in HISTORY CLASS?!"

Otose nodded slowly, not certain what to think of the girls response.

"Yes. It was a peaceful period until the Amanto attacked us 20 years ago."

Amanto.

Aliens.

That would explain the robot and television.

Orihime slowly backed up and backed up, until she fell into a chair.

I'm in Edo.

I went to the past.

With who knows how many hollows with me.

Fear crawled its way to Orihime's thoughts.

I'll never get home again.

And I've put these people in danger.

Orihime sank her head into both of her hands.

Gintoki Sakata steered into Otose's Snack Shop, still hungover from the previous night. With his hand over his mouth, he threw himself into one of the tall chairs, landing with a THUD. He slammed his head down onto the island and groaned.

"I'm never drinking again." He moaned. "Bachan get me some water will ya?" Otose-san shook her head, disappointed.

"If you have the money to drink, use it to pay your rent you good for nothing samurai." Otose advised strictly, puffing a cloud of smoke from her cigarette.

"Urusai." Gintoki warned, holding back a load of vomit that threatened to spill. "Ugh my head hurts like hell."

"Heh." Catherine chuckled. "Serves you right, Sakata the fool!"

He squeezed his eyes closed and shut himself away from the noisy bar for a while. It was so peaceful, he could barely feel the migraines penetrating his head. In all his tranquillity, he heard a faint whimper from behind him. Gin snapped out of his dreams and spun his head around to find a distressed girl with bright orange hair fretting on the couch. Gintoki noticed her uneasiness and lowered his voice.

"Who's she?" He asked the old woman, out of the girl's hearing zone.

"She came into the shop last night asking where she was. When I told her she was in Edo, she nearly fainted. I don't believe she's from around here." Otose informed him. "She's been there since last night, worrying over something. I believe her name was Orihime."

Gintoki looked straight at her, studying the girl. Finally, he took action.

"Hime!" Gintoki called to her suddenly, catching Otose-san by surprise. "Dou shita no?"

Is it any good? If you like it, I'll continue :)
