CHAPTER 1 – INTRO

((Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, Bleach, the concept of Mary Sues/Gary Stus, etc. and if I did, I would be a rich woman who didn't make fanfiction.

A/N: Thanks for visiting this! I have no idea if I'm ever going to finish the story or not, but I hope to.))

The swish of a black cloak disturbed the quiet night air, and the world seemed to fall into a hush, a lull, a point of nothingness. But that same air was soon filled with the sound of musical, bubbling laughter that came in gales, yet was as light as a bell.

This voice belonged to a tall girl, who seemed to be everything a girl would want to be. Her body was slim, yet she was voluptuous and round of hip. Shiny black hair cascaded down her shoulders in curls that resembled a waterfall, ending neatly at her waistline, and contrasted greatly with her pale skin. She wore a dress that showed off every feature in an elegant manner (but in a scantily-clad sort of way). The strangest thing about her was her eyes, which glowed and sparkled at the same time, in the strangest shade of red – no, blue – wait, green? It changed every few seconds.

"Gary, darling," she said, winking, "Where shall we venture this time?" She appeared to be speaking to no one.

A quiet voice answered her. "It doesn't really matter where you go, Mary. We can never really be in the same place together; people will find us too easily." A figure stepped out of the shadows, definitely male. His features were shadowy; ghostly, even. But nonetheless beautiful.

He waved his hand and the air around it distorted slightly, bringing up images of people, places, things, etc. It seemed to be random at first, but it became clear that he was, in fact, drawing up pictures from various Japanese comics. "We've invaded so many worlds… so many that I'm not sure where else we could go. But I feel like re-visiting the place they call 'Bleach'. You?"

The euphonious sound of laughter cropped up once more. "I want to go to that 'Naruto' place again!" Mary giggled. Gary shot her a questioning look – she had been there several times in the past week. She explained: "It's the BOYS! There are so many, and they're all dark and handsome… like you, of course, but I despise the idea of incest. No offense. Actually, I despise being in incest. I don't mind when other people do that. Like those Uchiha boys…" she licked her lips and, strangely enough, it didn't alter her lipstick in any way. "And I can go as many times as I want and the story starts over; they never remember it! At least I know not to give my full name nowadays. It scares people off. I mean, 'Moonbeam Amber Rain Yesterday Star Unicorn Ebony'? Our mother was quite the weirdo."

"And what kind of a name is 'Glass Archangel Requiem Yonder Shadow Tarot Understanding'? I say you have it much better than I do. At least we use acronyms now. And our parents didn't have much to boast about, either. 'Fandom' and 'Ignorance' aren't really names you want on a résumé. Do you think I should have an animal familiar this time? A raven would do. So are you going yet or not?" He obviously wanted a subject-change. The reminder that his first name was "Glass" was terribly unwanted.

"Maybe," Mary said, smirking devilishly. "Have you seen Marty or Anti lately?"

Gary scowled. "No. I'm leaving now."

And with that, the distorted circle expanded and the two stepped through it.
