A.N. Yes I'm starting up another story. I need to get these ideas out of my head so that's what I'm doing. This one will focus on Harry Potter in the Bleach world. Not really sure if he'll become a Shinigami, but he'll definitely be paired with Yoruichi (Perhaps more, depending on you guys). Completely disregard book six. This story begins a two weeks before Ichigo's ten day training period with Urahara. Also, if anyone could send me information on what each squad of the Gotei 13 specializes in, I'd be grateful. Here we go!

Disclaimer: I own nothing that you recognize.

Harry Potter: Bleached

Harry Potter was the boy-who-lived. A boy, who, at the age of one had (temporarily) defeated the dark lord Voldemort. That was sixteen years ago. Now, he had just done it again, permanently. The dark lord was once again dead by his hand. Two years of intensive training had transformed Harry from a small, scared, schoolboy into a cold, powerful, killing machine. Now that his enemy was dead, and he didn't know what to do.

Every powerful enemy that he had was dead or captured during the war. This was a problem because he had grown to love the thrill of battle. More than love in fact. Harry Potter was addicted to battle. But with every enemy who could entertain him gone, he became bored and irritated. He needed to satisfy his lust, and to do that he would need to fight and kill. But he couldn't exactly turn on his own comrades now could he? Not like they could challenge him anyway.

So he had resorted to traveling the world, looking for opponents. The search had yielded only a handful that entertained him for mere moments before they died. His latest trip had led him to Karakura, Japan. As soon as he had arrived he had felt the evil air that blanketed the place, and gave a small grin. This town might hold something worth his while.

Indeed, so far it had. The first day he arrived he had been attacked by strange creatures with white masks and holes in their chests. Most had been somewhat strong, but only a few had lasted more than two minutes. But the town had given him more fights than any other so he decided to stay for a while.

After a few days he had felt the power of a strong opponent. Strong enough to give him a good fight. So he had sought out whoever it was, and found a boy with orange hair, in black Japanese clothing, fighting a, what he had so graciously dubbed 'strange white-faced bastards with holes in their chests'.

The boy finished the fight quickly, and then left with a raven-haired girl. Harry however, went into full-research mode and began to follow the pair. Over the next two days he discovered that the boy was Kurosaki Ichigo, and the girl was Kuchiki Rukia. The most interesting thing was that they were Shinigami. But the sad fact was that the boy's power was completely unrefined. Without training the boy would never be able to challenge him.

So here he was, nearly two weeks since he had come to this place, and his only potential opponent was untrained. So he had taken to walking around the city at night, waiting to be attacked by the S.W.F.B.W.H.I.T.C. Man he should probably come up with a shorter name for them. Anyway, he had felt a presence on the edge of his senses after a little while, and it had not stopped following him. Whoever or whatever it was, was hiding their presence well. But he would catch whoever it was soon.

Indeed, the next corner he passed, he pressed up against the wall and began suppressing his power, making it seem like he was still walking. Once the presence passed the corner, he bent down and picked up the thing and slammed it into the wall of the alley. Though it looked like a cat there was far too much intelligence in its eyes for it to be a simple animal.

"Who are you and why are you following me!" he snarled out.

Looking closely he could see the cat's eyes widen slightly before it gave a small meow, as though it were confused.

Deciding that if whoever it was wouldn't tell him voluntarily, he would force it out of them. But not here. So he used every bit of binding magic he knew to make sure the cat stayed still and couldn't escape before stunning it and placing it into the magically expanded bag he kept with him. Looking around to make sure no-one saw what had happened, he apparated back to the small apartment he had begun renting.

Once he arrived, he quickly shut all the windows, locked the doors, and placed obscuration and silencing spells on the apartment. With that done he began searching for his supply of potions. Finding them in his trunk, he looked for the one bottle he needed right now, Veritaserum.

Once he had that he went into the spare bedroom, conjured a chair with restraints, and got ready to begin the interrogation. Taking out the cat, he placed it on the floor and performed the anti-animagus spell, forcing the cat back into human form.

After a few moments a very beautiful, very naked, purple-haired woman lay on his floor where the cat used to be. After dressing her in a spare cloak to cover her up, he placed her in the chair, restrained her, and place three drops of the clear potion on her tongue. Reviving her, and noting the glassy look in her eyes, he began his interrogation.

"Who are you?"

Her voice was monotone as she replied, "Shihouin Yoruichi, Goddess of Flash."

"What does that mean?"

"I have mastered the art of Shunpo."

"And what is Shunpo?"

"The ability to move at an incredible speed."

Now that was interesting. Of course apparation had its uses in battle, but the small pop always alerted the skilled enemies to his presence. But this Shunpo sounded different. He would have to learn it from her, willingly or not.

"Why were you following me?"

"I felt a high amount of power in the area and decided to check it out."

"In other words, you followed me to see if I was a threat to you?"

"Yes."

"And what did you find out?"

"Nothing of use."

"Are you working for anyone?"

"No."

"Will you attack me?"

"If you are a threat."

Harry nodded. That was very reasonable. After questioning her for a little while, he decided that he had heard enough for one night. He stunned her again, and tucked her into the bed that was in the corner of the room. After warding the room to prevent her escape, he turned himself in for the night. He would speak with the woman tomorrow about what had happened tonight, and about learning this Shunpo. Perhaps she would even challenge him in a fight. She did seem strong, stronger than many that he had fought.

But that was enough for tonight; tomorrow would be interesting if nothing else. And he might need his strength if he was to deal with a potentially angry female.

A.N. Well that was the first chapter of HP: B. Hope you enjoyed it. Yes, Harry is a bit like Kenpatchi, but he's awesome anyway. This chapter was meant to be fast, but things will slow down in future chapters. Should I continue? If I do, then Harry will travel to Soul Society and cause a bit of mayhem in his search for strong opponents. Not too sure about after that. Oh well, I'll figure it out if you guys want me to continue.
