Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or Attack on Titan, only Sakura, my OC
Warnings: SLASH and FEMSLASH, might be slightly AU
A/N: Okay, so this is a rewrite of the original, which, in my opinion, needed some serious work. Some things are different, mainly about my OC, but the plot is still the same.
Pairings so far: Sakura/Nel
Ichigo/Grimmjow/Ulquiorra
Chapter One
Sakura staggered over to her brother's exauhsted figure, a hand covering the rather deep gash on her waist. Ignoring the body at his feet, she drew her twin into a tight embrace, mindful of his wounds. He collapsed in her arms, breathing heavily, a grin of victory tugging at his lips. Kissing his forehead, she smiled at him, her eyes bright.
"We did it, Ichi-nii. Aizen's dead." she said, relief flowing through her.
He nodded, feeling as if a weight had been lifted of his shoulders, and glanced around. "Where's Grimm and Ulqui?" he asked, releasing her. He needed to know that his mates were okay. That they were alive.
Sakura closed her eyes and concentrated on the two espada, searching for their reiatsu and feeling it heading their way. "They'll be here soon." she told him before moving her search to Nel.
Suddenly, a body jumped on her back, arms wrapping around her shoulders tightly. "Sakura!" a familiar voice exclaimed happily. "You're alright!"
Sakura turned her head to smile at Nel tiredly. "That I am. I'm glad to see you're alright as well, love."
Nel returned the smile tenfold and drew her into a passionate kiss. Ichigo looked away to give some privacy, yelping in surprise when a set of arms suddenly pulled him into a muscular chest. Grimmjow grinned down at him, capturing his lips in a heated kiss. Relaxing, the orangette leaned into the espada, melting into the kiss. Ulquiorra moved toward the duo, encircling his arms around Ichigo's waist, relieved that the younger male was alive. When Ichigo went after Aizen, he had been worried. Worried that the ex-shinigami captain would gain the upper hand and put an end to Ichigo's life. Seeing his orange haired mate alive, if a bit battle worn, but all those fears and worries to rest.
Ichigo pulled away from Grimmjow and turned his head to Ulquiorra with a grin, leaning towards him. Ulquiorra got the hint and connected their lips in a kiss while Sakura and Nel watched the trio fondly before Sakura suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and exhaustion wash over her. She collapsed, slipping quickly into unconsciousness, Ichigo following seconds later. The three espada experienced only a brief moment of panic before they too were engulfed in darkness.

A groan slipped passed Sakura's lips as she awoke, her eyes blinking open. The first thing she noticed was that she felt no pain. The second was the white ceiling above her. Beside her, Ichigo suddenly shot up with a string of curses, scowling as he looked around the room they were in. In front of them was a reception desk and a series of doors went along the walls. A pretty woman with blonde hair and grey eyes sat at the desk, a bright smile on her face.
"Ichigo and Sakura Kurosaki. It's a pleasure to finally meet you two." she said, the smile not leaving her face. For a moment, the twins were briefly reminded of Ichimaru Gin, though the woman's smile was a lot less creepy.
"Where are we?" Ichigo asked, confusion and cautiousness in his eyes.
"This is the In-Between."
Sakura arched an eyebrow, having never heard of that. "What's the In-Between?"
"Think of it as a gateway or portal between different realms. Realities, universes, whatever you wish to call it." the woman explained, leaning back into her seat as she studied them calmly.
Both Sakura and Ichigo nodded in understanding, though they were both confused as to why they were there.
"Why are we here?" Ichigo asked, voicing the question running through his and his twin's head.
"You've both been chosen."
Sakura eyed her warily, not really liking the sound of that. "Chosen for what?"
"There is a world that is in need of your help. The gods picked you due to your actions in the war with Aizen Sousuke."
Ichigo shifted uneasily. "I want to help, really I do, but I don't- won't leave Grimm and Ulqui."
Sakura nodded firmly in agreement. "And I refuse to leave Nel."
The woman smiled reassuringly at them, looking as if she had expected their responses. "Do not worry. Your mates will be going with you. You'll just have to find each other. I promise you will meet them again in this new world."
Sakura and Ichigo sighed in relief. "We'll go then." they said. They'd miss their family and friends, but they'll help this new world however they can.
The woman beamed. "Exellent! Now, all you have to do is walk through that door." she motioned to a door on their left.
The twins nodded and approached the door, opening it after a moment of hesitance. Together, they stepped through the doorway, the world once again going black.

Ichigo was the first to awake, due to a warning from Zangetsu and Shirosaki. Ho opened his eyes to see a large humanoid-like creature stomping towards him and his sister. He urgently shook his twin awake, alert and tense. Sakura's cinnamon colored eyes snapped open and she shot upright, her eyes widening when she saw the creature.
"Ichi, what the fuck is that?!" she hissed to him, hands wrapping around the handles of her sais.
The sais were her zanpakuto, Hageshī Kaze, in shikai version and perfect for close combat. Her bankai was a double sided Halberd. The cresent moon cutting blade, the Halberd's trademark, was a highly effective cutter. The double blades allow for deceptive cuts that switch direction instantly or attacks while recovering from a missed stroke. If one of the steel blades in damaged or broken (and you'd better run if you do manage to break Sakura's blade), the other is still usable. She adored her Zanpakuto, as well as her inner hollow, Aiki.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling it isn't friendly." Ichigo told her, tightening his grasp on Zangetsu.
Not even a second after the words left his mouth, the large being lunged for them. Leaping into the air, they used shunpo and ran at it, slicing it with their weapons. To their shock and dread, the wounds they inflicted immediately healed. They shared a glance before they stared a series of attacks, trying to find a weak point. Sakura noticed how the thing seemed to panic or move away when they got to close to the back of it's neck. Smirking wickedly, she shunpo-ed to it's neck, cutting through it easily with her sais. The creature collapsed, dead. Ichigo blinked at it before arching a brow at her.
"The back of the neck. We have to cut the back of the neck." she stated, running a hand through her orange hair, the color matching her brother's.
Ichigo nodded, pausing. "Did you get the feeling that it was... trying to eat us?"
She nodded, annoyance flahing through her eyes. "It did, the bastard. Almost succeeded a few times. Aiki wasn't pleased."
Ichigo snorted, not in the least bit surprised. "Right. So, now what?"
"We find civilization."
