I know, I know…another Bleach fanfic, with Gin as a main character and female OCs…What can I say? He's cool and there aren't enough non-dark fanfics about him-or the others for that matter. Well, this is kind of a present for my twin, who also has fanfic accounts. I wasn't originally gonna publish it, but well, she really wanted me too-and she had pocky…and sherbet ((grins)) (Blazing Aurora also wanted me to post this…and I'm kinda scared of her…) Soooo, yes, this is a self-insertation fic. I am Hoshi, and she is Hikari. I will try to keep this as realistic as possible (Mary-Sues shot on sight), but any exaggeration is due to creative license ((smiles)) I have many, many one shots planned about Gin too, so look out for them in the coming months. Anyways, on with the 1st chapter!

Chapter 1

Hoshi blinked as she looked around. Something didn't feel quite right… She tapped her sister on the shoulder.

"Hey, Hikari-chan. Does something feel odd to you?" Her smaller, blond haired companion frowned

"A little. Like gravity isn't working right" She gripped her Kenpachi plushie tighter. The two exchanged wary looks before spinning around 180 degrees. They sighed.

"Always…"

"Every time…"

"The mysterious portal of DOOM is behind the heroines." The two finished together. Hoshi brushed black hair behind her ears.

"I'd say we've been reading too much fanfic, but the fact is… the mysterious portal of DOOM is there…in all it's swirly, technicoloured glory… In fact it's; 'red and yellow and green and brown and scarlet and'…" Hikari's hand on her mouth cut off the tuneful rendition of the well known song.

"So, what now? I mean, we could be REALLY cheesy and step through it, but then…" She trailed off realizing Hoshi was almost about to step through. She grabbed her friend's hand, but only succeeded in being pulled in too. The portal closed behind them with a self satisfied 'schlanapak'.

"Owie…" Hoshi sat up, rubbing-for some inexplicable reason, the top of her right ear. "Kari-chan… my ear hurts". 'Kari-chan' measured her with a long look, and sighed.

"Who let you near the sherbet?" Hoshi hung her head

"It was so pretty-like crystals, and I was so booooooooored, Kari-chan". Hikari passed a hand across her forehead in defeat.

"The last words uttered before the world is destroyed will be you saying. 'I was bored'" she muttered, half directed at her sister, half at herself. She grimaced. "Guess I have to be the sensible one then. Honestly, Hoshi. You always make things difficult for me." Her musing was cut short by Hoshi tugging on her sleeve. "What?" She unconsciously slipped into the tone she used with very small children, and Hoshi on sherbet. The normally stoic girl ate very little sugary food, but had an unfortunate addiction to sherbet. It was unfortunate in that something in sherbet reacted with her biochemistry and combined with the sugar to give her a giant energy rush and acute hyperactivity. (AN-unfortunately true ((hangs head in shame)) ) She focused on the unusually childish, black haired girl who was pointing at their surroundings.

"Kari-chan! Lookit, lookit!" Hikari did look-and gasp.

"I…I…It's…"

"It's Hueco Mundo, Kari-chan! Woo, look at all that sand!" A grin found its way onto Hikari's face as she registered where the mysterious portal of DOOM had dropped them… right in the world that housed the stronghold of the villains in their shared favourite anime-Bleach.

Hoshi immediately started picking up double handfuls of sand and letting them trickle through her fingers to land on her feet, which she was apparently trying to bury. Hikari stifled a giggle at her friend's childish activities. She was acting like she was on the beach! She would be so embarrassed when she recovered… An evil grin lit Hikari's face as she pulled out a camera and started to take pictures that would form valuable blackmail material. The sound of someone clearing their throat made her look round wide eyed, the camera vanishing into her pocket.

"Who…are you? And how did you get into Hueco Mundo?" Hikari stifled a grin at the sight of the normally unflappable Ulquiorra looking so confused. At that moment, Hoshi looked up and lost interest in the sand.

"Ulquiorra! Hi!" The poor Espada looked even more confused at being recognized by a crazy, hyperactive human, who was currently lying face down on the floor.

"Itai! Hikari-chan…" The shorter girl sighed.

"It's your own fault for burying your feet in the sand, Hoshi-chan." Hoshi wriggled into a crouch, ignoring her trapped feet.

"Ulquiorra-san! Look at the pretty white sand! Isn't it awesome?!" A thought occurred to her. "Nel! Where's Nel? I wanna play!" The other two shared baffled looks, then Hikari grabbed Hoshi and pulled her up and out of the sand. The Espada looked at the two of them, and seemed to make some sort of decision.

"You two must come with me. Aizen-sama will know what to do with you." …or maybe he just chickened out of making any decision and decided to let the Evil Overlord of Hueco Mundo take care of it.

The Evil Overlord (AKA Aizen Sousuke) was currently sat on his vastly overdramatic giant white throne of DOOM. He was mentally bemoaning the fact that he hadn't brought his most recent fukutaicho with him to do the paperwork…and the fact that he HAD brought his previous fukutaicho with him. So when the huge (vastly overdramatic) double doors opened, he looked up quickly, glad of an interruption in his attempts to decipher his silver haired fukutaicho's writing…was it even in Japanese? (AN-it wasn't, for the record… Ichimaru Gin is fluent in Sanskrit)

"Ulquiorra…what brings you here?" His voice was soft, yet with a hint of malice lurking below the surface. It had taken him weeks to perfect.

"Aizen-sama, Ichimaru-sama, Tousen-sama" The Espada bowed elegantly to him and his companions, before entering the room. "I discovered these two just outside Las Noches…They appear to be human" The Espada's voice was weary and his mental state shone through-Hoshi's logic when she was hyper was…obscure, to say the least, and Hikari had not done anything to prevent the constant flow of questions, reveling in the confusion of the poor Espada. He thankfully stepped to the side, moving to find a wall to lean against and try to rebuild the tatters of his emotionless mask. His movement revealed two girls. The younger, and shorter, was staring straight at Aizen; her piercing blue eyes focused on him with an intensity that would have unnerved most people. The eldest was staring around herself with a childish awe and glee, which seemed quite out of place. They were both dressed in human clothes-the elder favouring dark colours, to match her black hair, whilst the younger seemed to prefer the lighter colours which complemented her blond hair.

"So…may I ask your names?" Hikari winced imperceptibly as Aizen's famed 100 megawatt smile was directed at her. She sighed.

"I'm Hikari. This is Hoshi, my sister." She smirked inwardly as she realised what an impression of normal Hoshi she was doing-incredibly paranoid and only volunteering what information is necessary. 'Ah well, I guess one of us has to be sensible at the moment'

"Is that so? And how, Hikari-chan, did you find yourselves here?" Hoshi cut in before Hikari could say anything.

"It was the Portal of DOOM! We were happily talking, and then this swirrrrly, portal-y thing appeared and it looks so pretty, so I went to touch it, and then Kari-chan tried to stop me, and we both fell in, and then we were here in Hueco Mundo, and the white sand is soooo pretty, ya know, but I couldn't find Nel, but then Ulquiorra-kun found us and brought us here, but he didn't even offer us any tea!" She finished speaking abruptly. Aizen smiled at her, continuing despite Hikari's look of total despair at her sister's babbling and muttering of 'Fell? You went in willingly baka, AND pulled me in…'

"Oh? You like tea?"

"Yup! I didn't used to, but then I started to and now I love it so much!" A chuckle came from beside the throne and a figure stepped into view, grinning widely.

"Yara, yara. You'll be a grea' frien' o' Aizen-sama if ya like tea tha' much." Hoshi's eyes widened, as did Hikari's-although for a different reason. The younger reached out to grab her sister, but she was too late. The moment of shock had passed, and Hoshi seemed to blur as she raced over to the figure and attached herself to him, once again babbling. Hikari smothered a giggle at the look on his face, as his smile seemed wiped off by the look of shock. Surreptitiously, she snapped a couple of pictures with her ever-present camera for future…coercion. She tuned back in to what her insane sister was rambling about.

"Gin-kun! I'd forgotten you'd be here! I love you so much Gin-kun! The fans are really mean, and I tell them that-you're much nicer than they say you are, and you're so cool and…" A well-placed book to the head ended abruptly, and Ichimaru Gin instinctively caught the girl as she slumped down, her unconscious state loosening the death grip she had on him. The Espada and ex-Shinigami's glanced over at Hikari, whose arm was still raised from the throwing motion, and whose shoulder bag was open at her side. They looked back at the book- the condensed 'Encyclopedia Britannica'; and all vowed silently to never get on her bad side. She bowed slightly to Aizen.

"My apologies for that, I should have done so earlier. Unfortunately, my sister has a condition in which her body reacts badly to sherbet multiplying the effect of a sugar rush by anything up to 10 times." Not seeing the unholy light that awoke in Gin's eyes-a bad sign for anyone, she continued. "When she reawakens she should be lucid." Aizen tilted his head slightly

"The next logical question…is how you know of us." Imperceptibly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and Hikari shifted uneasily, knowing that he would catch any lie she might try to create. Aizen continued. "You are clearly not Shinigami, and yet do not hold the resentment towards us that a friend of Kurosaki Ichigo would; and yet you found your way to Hueco Mundo, and recognize not only us, but also Ulquiorra-who has not been seen by any who are not loyal to me." Hikari nodded, and sighed again, then realised that she had done so far too often recently.

"This will be slightly difficult to believe" she paused "As far as I can tell, we are from another dimension…one that does not have Shinigami. There is some sort of link between the two worlds, as the story of Kurosaki Ichigo is well known within our world-although it is believed to be a fiction. Both myself and my sister watch this 'anime' obsessively, and that is the basis of our knowledge"

"An' this? Wha's this abou'?" The voice of Ichimaru Gin was slightly amused. Hikari, glancing over, had to stifle a giggle. Hoshi was once more hugging him tightly, and his arm was around her. She was mumbling incoherently, but Hikari knew her sister well and guessed what the words probably were. She quickly pulled out the camera again and took a couple of pictures, before answering.

"Ah, gomen nasai, Ichimaru-san. You were Hoshi's favourite character from the series"

"Ah was?" Hikari cheerfully ignored the look on his face which boded ill for Hoshi if the plots currently being concocted ever came to fruition.

"Yeah. From the moment you first appeared actually, and even when you were attacking the gate keeper who was trying to help Kurosaki. She didn't even bat an eye when you turned out to be a traitor. I suspected she knew all along-but Hoshi was never one to sympathize with the 'namby-pamby, pathetic good guys' as she called them." Hikari smirked wickedly "She was annoyed with Hitsugaya-taicho for a LONG time, and was also quite jealous of Matsumoto-fukutaicho." Hikari ignored the cold feeling of dread that seemed to seep into her spine as she let out that particular little tidbit of information… After all, her sister was so…private, paranoid, never told anyone what she thought… Hikari looked up quickly; glad to be distracted by a third voice.

"And you?" The voice came from the other side of the throne as a figure stepped into view.

"Tousen-san! I didn't see you there. I loved Ken-chan! Hoshi said I was Yachiru-chan's long lost twin! Didn't like Kurosaki-tachi though. Far too wimpy and goody-goody." The ex-Shinigami shared a look, then Aizen leaned forwards, his dazzling smile firmly in place-Hikari had to fight the impulse to shield her eyes and scream 'I'm blind, I'm blind!'

"Well, it seems as if you and your sister will be our guests for a while, until we can return you to your home. Ulquiorra, show them to the guest rooms." The Espada bowed low, then ushered Hikari out, who had retrieved her sister from Ichimaru Gin and was currently dragging her out by her feet.
