Disclaimers are boring, so you know what I mean.

I promised the summary in full, didn't I? Hehehe... Well, here it is!

Bleach Meets FFXII! When Kukaku Shiba wakes up from a nap, she finds herself in an unfamiliar place. She meets Vaan on accident when she slams into him while running from a Seeq that wanted to eat her. Kukaku is thrown into an adventure that she had never known. "Why did I get myself in this mess?"

--

Kukaku Shiba yawned. She was tired of playing with fireworks for now. Rubbing her right arm, she stood up and headed for her house.

"Sis? Where are you going?" Ganju asked.

"I'm going to take a nap. Guard Kaien's grave, you knucklehead." Kukaku said. Ganju nodded and headed off for his older brother's grave.

She yawned again and found her futon before collapsing onto it, falling asleep immediately.

When Kukaku woke up, the sun was in her eyes. She shielded them and muttered something about Ganju dragging her outside while she was sleeping.

"I'm going to make him do a thousand pushups when I find him!" She told herself as she got up and dusted off. People were roaming around. Kukaku took a quick look and realized she was no longer in the Rukongai... and the fact that she wasn't invisible to these people intrigued her.

"Where am I?" She asked no one in particular, looking around.

"The Royal City of Rabanastre." A passing man said. Kukaku looked at him funny. There wasn't a place called Rabanastre anywhere that she knew of. So she walked towards the strange-looking animal. It sniffed her and then walked towards her, making Kukaku back up.

"Hey, hey. I don't want any trouble." Kukaku said.

"You look good enough to eat!" The animal said. Kukaku was worried that she was on the menu. This world was stranger than the Rukongai! So she decided to flee and fight another day.

"OWW!" Kukaku had run into someone... and knocked him over.

This guy looks a bit odd. She mused to herself. "Who are you?"

The question caught her off guard. "What?"

"I asked, who are you?"

"Fireworks Expert of the Rukon District. My name is Kukaku Shiba. What about you?"

"Vaan." The boy stood up. "Kukaku, do you live around here?"

"No. And I wouldn't start, after being nearly eaten." Kukaku said.

"Are you new to Rabanastre?"

"Yeah. What did you think?"

Vaan took something out of his pocket. "What do you think of this?" He showed her a glowing stone.

"I bet it would fetch a lot of money." Kukaku said. "Enough to feed an entire starving family."

"Huh. I was going to go to Old Dalan's. You want to come?" Vaan asked.

Kukaku nodded. "Anything to get away from that freak that I ran into."

"What did he look like?"

"A pig, like Bonnie."

"Who's Bonnie?"

"She's- Oh, forget it." Kukaku shook her head. So Vaan led Kukaku to Lowtown to meet Old Dalan. Old Dalan gave Vaan an old sword of 'The Order'. They were to take the sword to a Captain Azelas and give it to him.

Kukaku took in the sights of Lowtown. It was much like the Rukongai. People here were very poor, yet free of the armored people above.

They went to where the Order had a hideout at, and Kukaku stayed behind. When Vaan emerged half an hour later, he had someone with him.

"So, who's this?" Kukaku asked, gesturing to the man behind Vaan.

"Oh.. Kukaku, this is Basch." Vaan said. "Basch, this is Kukaku Shiba. She's new around Rabanastre and I thought I'd show her around."

"A pleasure." Basch said. Kukaku nodded.

"Likewise. So, Vaan, where to now?"

"We would need to procure a ship." Basch said. "I believe that Balthier is in possession of one."

"A ship?" Kukaku looked from Vaan to Basch.

"I'll explain later..." Vaan said.

So that's chapter 1! I've gone a little OOC on Kukaku, but whatever I write, I hear her saying for some reason. It's more of a... strange thing.
