Hello, this is an Orihime-centric BLEACH/Code Geass Cross-over. This is the prolouge of the story.
Summary: After the Hueco Mundo Incident with Aizen, Ichigo and friends return to Soul Society, where they all become Soul Reapers, except the three Ex-Espada. They come back to the World of the Living eight years later to find Brittanian forces have invaded Japan and that Karakura Town is no more, all of the residents scattered all over Japan, now renamed Area 11. Now, Ichigo, Uryuu, Rukia, Chad, Renji, Tatsuki, Orihime, Neliel, Grimmjow, Ulquiorra, and Nanao, who came with them due to the need of a vacation from Seireitei, are forced to join Ashford Academy, a prestigious school in the Tokyo Settlement, where malovent hollows appear near in hopes of catching lost souls. Their only problem is the Brittanians hate Japanese, and the fact that they now have a mysterious hero appearing before them by the name of 'Zero'.
I do not own Code Geass or Bleach, those titles go to whoever created Code Geass (That's a huge mystery to me, I only watched the anime) and Tite Kubo, who created Bleach.
Prolouge
As one story reaches it's end, a new one unfolds.
"I used to believe that I had lived in a fairy tail of sorts. One where I was the princess who's brother died tragically. The dragon would then take me to a tall tower where I would spend many days. Then, the knight in shining armor, who I had automatically cast as Ichigo Kurosaki, would whisk in, sweep me off my feet, and declare his love for me while defeating the evil monsters.
That was not the case. My fairy tail was twisted, I had fallen in 'love' with Ichigo, But I had not been kidnapped, I had gone of my own free will to save my friends, in this part, I was not a damsel-in-distress, I had been the faithful friend Orihime Inoue, leaving to the side of evil to save her friends from an early demise at its hand of malice.
The dragon of my tower had been Ulquiorra Schiffer, someone who was as cold and bland as the white walls of my room. But as I sat in my room, day in, day out, slowly losing my own sense of time, I had begun to look forward to meals, in which I could see the color green, his eyes, the most vibrant I had ever seen in my entire life. One would think that by then I had gone insane, but it had already been a month and I was beginning to eat my meals with little to no resistance.
Ulquiorra had been away and left me unattended when the two witches, Loly and Menoly, of the story burst in, paying manners no heed, they proceeded to beat me. That's when the Grimmjow burst in, I had no idea where he was to be placed in my fairytail, he was sort of an anomoly; wanting Aizen to go to hell, but hating Soul Reapers, and the compassionate moment when he thanked me for his arm back, and then almost ceroing Rukia's head off, I had simply placed him as a blank character who's role could change at a moment's notice.
Then everything changed, I met Neliel, who turned into the Savior of the Knight and the Princess while battling a demon, and then the side of the Shinigami burst in, and I had lost track of who all I had placed them as. They were all my friends, so that placed them as another kingdom allied with Karakura.
And as Ichigo battled Ulquiorra, everything was made clear. Ulquiorra wasn't the dragon that locked me away, he was my knight, Ichigo was the village hero, and Aizen was the dragon. Everything had fallen into place.
After bringing back the three Espada I would be forever grateful too, we, Me, Uryuu (who had come along reluctantly), Neliel, Grimmjow, and Ulquiorra met up with the Shinigami Squad (Mayuri, Nemu, Byakuya, Rukia, Renji, Kenpachi, Yachiru, Chad, Hanataro, and Isane.) and explained the situation. To which Rukia nodded in understanding and hugged me very tightly, crying into my stomach at how worried she had been and at how she had missed me. I had pet her head and soothingly stroked her back for a good thirty minutes.
And then we all returned to fake Karakura to heal the wounded, Soifon, Urahara, Yoruichi, Omaeda, Kira, Hisagi, Gin, and the others.
Now, here we are, I'm Co-Captain of the Fourth Division, Ichigo's captain of squad five, with Gimmjow as the lieutenant, Chad became lieutenant of the Seventh Squad after Iba's death and Momo was now the captain of Kido Corps. Rukia was lieutenant of sqaud thirteen, and Gin was reinstated as captain of the Third, Kira readily by his side. Toshiro was hospitalized for a while, allowing regular medical treatment to get his arm semi attatched before I could reverse the event of it being gone. Neliel became lieutenant of the Ninth Division under Hisagi, Tatsuki became fourth seat of the Eleventh Division and the Vizards are what make up Kido Corps. Momo was happy to meet Hachigen. Ulquiorra became Co-lieutenant of the Sixth, claiming that Byakuya was a far more tolerable captain than the others, to which Renji scoffed. A week later he was seen in a bar, drinking with Kira and Iba, crying over the absolute silence that befell the office.
I got my own Zanpakuto. It's called Altair. The command is Light Up All and Reject. I was so happy to get it. It's a fighting one, but now I can use Tsubaki for a distraction offense and still use my sheild and healing powers.
My fairytail has ended, my story is happy and I am too. But there are never really any ends to stories in the world, once one ends another begins. That's what Unohana says, and to which Isane nods feverently too, exclaiming that they have seen many stories. I hope I get to see many as well... "
'Today's the day! We get to go to Tokyo!' Orihime smiled slightly, but her expression soon turned solemn. 'I still remember the day Karakura was destroyed, so many people were killed. All those families torn apart. Shaking her head of those thoughts, she focused on what she was doing, heading to the First Division Meeting Hall where all the other captains were meeting, Unohana was by her side, the older woman smiling serenely.
Orihime wore her hair down all the way, her hair pins attatched to a chain that Gin had gifted her with, something of a token of appreciation for healing him and giving him a second chance. She wore an orange sash with a large loose bow infront of her Hakama pants, which touched the floor. Her top cut down below her collarbone, showing off some of her bust, it was usually due to the fact that it wouldn't fix any other way, and her sleeves fell past her knuckles. Her hands clutched a sheathed katana with an orange ribbon and a design like her old hairpins as the guard thingy. She didn't know the terminology of Zanpakuto.
The two women approached the doors, both using one hand to open them. Orihime took her place between Gin and Byakuya, and Unohana went to stand beside Komamura and across from Soifon. Yamamoto stood at the head of the 14 captains, his scarred face gleaming in the candle light of the meeting hall.
Yamamoto nodded to the captains. "It is to my understanding that some of the captains and lieutenants are going to the World of the Living. He stated, his ashy gaze falling onto the heads of the captains. "While on vacation, I want you to find out the source of the enourmous amount of Hollows appearing near the newly named 'Tokyo Settlement'. As well as help end this war that continually sends upheaving amounts of Souls into the Rukon District."
Orihime nodded from her spot and Ichigo muttered something along the lines of 'old bossy fool'.
"I send you off with the best of luck and the hope that you will all return safely. Dismissed." He said, hitting the butt of his cane to the ground. All Captains disappeared with a flicker that signalled Flash Step.
Orihime bounced around her room in the Squad four barracks, packing all of the clothes she would need for the trip. Her mind was still spinning from the news, stop a war. 'That's impossible.' She mentally whined, folding up a long skirt. Wars can't be halted, they have to play out. I learned that the hard way. Changing into a khaki skirt with sandals and a brown tanktop, she brushed out her hair again before putting her sword on her back, where it looked like a wooden sword for a Kendo class. She was secretly glad Ikkaku wasn't coming, he would make quite the sight and would probably end up challenging every person he saw to a fight and would then brandish a wooden sword in their face. Her Gentian limiter visible as it was on the left part of her chest.
She was way excited Neliel was coming, along with the strange taste in food, the two, along with Rangiku, were practically sisters, something that made everyone shiver on the inside, except Unohana because she didn't particuallarly hate Inoue's sense of taste, saying that it was perfectly fine for someone to love what they eat, even if it strange in the eyes of others.
Grabbing her army green duffle bag, that was the biggest she could buy, she rushed off towards the gate.
"Sorry I'm late, Unohana-san had to talk to me about something." Orihime said, running up to the group near the front gates.
Uryuu cocked an eyebrow, "Why didn't you use flash step?" He inquired, shifting his own grey duffle bag over his shoulders.
Orihime blanched, "Why didn't I think of that?" She questioned, looking up to the sky. "I forgot I could use Flash Step." The others sweatdropped.
Neliel giggled and threw an arm around the orangette's shoulders. "Don't worry, it took me forever to remember I could use Sonido, it takes a while cuz' we're all used to living without it." She said, her big grin widening.
Grimmjow scoffed, "Somehow, I don't have any trouble at all believing that." He muttered, rolling electric blue eyes at his complete opposite's naivety.
Renji glared at them and said, "I've been using Flash Step since I learned it." Rukia snickered and muttered something that had Renji's face as red as his hair and sputtering off nonsense. "Y-yeah! Well you can't even use the Flash Step!"
"I can too!" Rukia countered, violet eyes narrowed.
"Really? Then who taught you?" Renji asked, giving her a sarcastic glance.
"Kaien-dono did!" Rukia said, crossing her arms and looking away.
"Hmph! Well I learned all on my own." Renji scoffed.
Rukia had an evil smile on her face. "So that's why you sucked ass at Kido." She said, putting her hands together and looking amazed at putting the pieces of the puzzle together. "You were never practicing Kido at the academy, you were practicing the Flash Step!" She said accusingly poking Renji hard in the chest.
"I'm good enough at Kido to best my own zanpakuto!" Renji said, bending down into Rukia's face, "That's good enough for me, midget."
Rukia's face flared up like a tomato that was way over ripe. Whipping out a leg, she kicked him in the shin and dropped him to the floor. "Don't ever. Call. Me. A. Midget. Ever. Again!" Renji's screams filled the air as she proceeded to stomp the life out of his body with her bare feet, her sandals were on the ground nearby.
Ichigo was clutching his sides in pure hysteria and Nanao was looking over her glasses at the two not far away. Tatsuki was cheering on Rukia and the rest sweatdropped at the scene
Uryuu muttered something like 'Ugh' and crossed his arms, "Are we gonna get going anytime soon?" He asked, tapping his foot impatiently on the ground. Ulquiorra gave him a look that said 'Don't ask me' and continued his silence. Chad shrugged, "Soon, it looks like Rukia's done." He pointed to the fuming Soul Reaper walking to collect her bags and shoes.
Neliel simply shrugged and Gimmjow whistled as Rukia walked by, "That Pineapple head is so whipped."
Orihime looked over at Ichigo, "Can you open the Gate now?" She asked, smiling as he nodded. The twin doors opened and Orihime clutched her fourth division haori around her as the cold rush of air hit them. Yes, she had kept it on over her clothes, it was nice and she would simply pack it up once they reached the world of the living.
Tatsuki clutched her own zanpakuto in anticipation, something that was a habit of all squad eleven members. Orihime smiled and glanced at Neliel, "I'll race ya." She said, winking.
Neliel grinned. "You're on."
Renji, who was just now getting up, rubbed his bruised cheek Stupid dwarf and trotted to catch up. "H-hey! Don't leave me here! M-matte! HEY! WAIT!" He called, Flash Stepping after them.
Murmuring reached his ears, but he payed the nobles of Britannia no heed. He was furious, angrier than he had ever been in his entire life, not even when Schneizel beat him at chess. Violet eyes narrowed down at the man it was all directed at. The 98th Emperor of the Brittanian Empire, Charles I Brittania, his father. Black hair fell around his face and his fists clenched so tight that his knuckles were turning white.
"You dare interupt this conference?" His father questioned, his voice silencing the mutterings of the court nobles.
He glared at his father, "Why didn't you protect her? Why didn't you protect Mom!" He asked, taking a step forward and throwing out his arm. "You're the strongest person I know, the strongest person in the entire nation... Why didn't you save her!" He crowed, eyes glassing over.
"You apparentally do not seem to understand that I am not God. I cannot do everything . Marianne's death hit us all hard, but in this world it kill or be killed, and you have to learn that the weak shall die by the hands of the strong." His father called, glaring down at him with equally violet eyes.
"It's your fault! It's your fault Mom's dead and Nunnally is blind and crippled!" Lelouch yelled, his voice rising louder than one would think possible of the scrawny twelve year old.
"Nunnally's weakness was her downfall, she is now of no use, with her in the state she is in, she can't even be used as a political tool and be married off." Charles said, dismissing the comment as if it were nothing but a mundane fly around his ear.
Lelouch's eyes widened with shock, before they narrowed with rage. "I'm sick of this!" He shouted, bowing his head. "This competition for the spot as your successor, the scheming, plotting, I hate it all! I give up my claim to the throne!"
Charles stood up-
Lelouch Lamprouge sat up in his bed, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. Shaking his head, he got up and got ready to go to school. Just a memory, nothing special.
Hmm... How was it? I know it was kinda long for a prolouge, and it had some serious moments, and some funny moments, sorry if I sucked at the interaction of the group, I'm trying as hard as possible. More moments to see will pop up.
