A/N: I don't own Bleach, Prince of Tennis, or Blood Plus

Oh, there will be slight shounen-ai between Haji and Byakuya

and the Prince of Tennis Pairings will also be shounen-ai, for the most part.

This story takes place two years before the current beginning of the Prince of tennis Series, between the Bound and the Arrancar business in Bleach, and during Saya's 30 years of sleep which allows Haji to wander freely.

That's just to clear any confusion!

Hope you'll like my story!!!

Constructive criticism welcome!!!

Byakuya in Rikkai Dai

Chapter 1

Kuchiki Byakuya is a man who isn't often surprised. But when Yamamoto, 1st seat captain of the Gotei 13 of Soul Society told him he was to be sent to the living world, he was surprised.

"Why, may I ask, Yamamoto tai-chou, why you would send a captain to the living world when there are many loitering fuku-tai-chou and other seats?"

"Percpective as always Byakuya, but we need a captain in this city because it there have been many previous sightings of hollows." an old bald man with a long white beard wrapped in a criss-crossing fashion began. Two scars intersected on the top right corner of his head. "This city has been the new hang out area for hollows after Karakura town. Karakura town has several shinigami there to defend it and some hollows may have realized this. Many more reportings of spiritual energy risings have occurred too, thus attracting more hollows who may be closer to this city than Karakura town."

"And you chose me because…"

"Hollows were scared off by our representative shingami's massive reiatsu and fighting skills." the old man interrupted, "therefore, I decided to send a captain who's reiatsu is high and demeanor is intimidating to this town to chase the hollows away before they choose that town as their second hot spot."

"Hai" Byakuya said nodding in understanding.

"You will be traveling first to Karakura town where Kisuke tai- I mean former tai-chou will give you instructions to the city. He has arranged living quarters and job arrangements. You will be off shortly."

"Hai." Byakuya blankly answered again while questions raced through his head, but due to the obedience beaten into him as a noble since he was a child, he didn't dare say them aloud.

Not long after

Byakuya stood, waiting for the gates of the crossing to open.

"The gates are open now, Kuchiki tai-chou, you may pass through now."

He nodded in response. But right before he was to step foot through and into the gates, he heard a "Ni-sama!" ring out across the courtyard. He turned and saw a panting Rukia running up to him.

"Ni-sama." she panted when she was finally in front of him. She seemed at lost of what to say. Moments passed in silence between them. Then just as he turned to leave, she blurted out a "Have a safe trip, ni-sama."

Byakuya just turned around and nodded at her again before realizing that the guards were still waiting for him to pass through the gates. He stepped through and waved a hand over his shoulder and whispered one word. "Sayonora."

As he walked through the gates, the black world of nothingness met his eyes. Good thing he had a hell butterfly otherwise the sweeper would come and erase him into nothingness like it would do to any soul without a hell butterfly. The trip was short and as he passed through the other open gate, he was met with the scene of an empty vast desert before realizing that half of it was painted and the blue sky was only twenty meters above him.

"KONICHIWA!" a cheery voice called from his right. It was a bit too cheery for his liking. "Welcome to the living world, Kuchiki tai-chou!" This must be Kisuke. A blonde man with a green and white bucket hat jumped in front of him. He was fully clothed in a green kimono, pants and overcoat with sandals on his feet.

"Let us walk upstairs and sit before I explain everything to you, okay?"

"Hai." I sure seem to be saying that a lot these days, thought Byakuya

-------Upstairs and in Byakuya's POV--------

"So the city is about 17 miles north of here and closer to Tokyo. I have a friend who's currently not present and you will be staying in his apartment. Here are the keys and the train tickets!" He began to lay different tickets and keys on the table. I glanced at the different colors of each ticket and figure that I would probably be transferring form more than one train "This one's to go through the front gate. And this one for the door, and oh here's one for electrical compartment…" I zone out while he rambles on. I'll just stick whatever key into whatever lock looks similar and if it doesn't work, I'll just use Senbonzakura to cut it down. " The town is a beautiful place and here are several maps to take with you" He begins pulling out more papers and adds them to a pile of restaurants he's recommended by the right of the table.

"Then here's the only concern." my ears perk up and I'm actually listening now. "I have enrolled you into a school named Rikkai Dai where there has been a lot reiatsu spikes lately and it is mainly for you to check them out but you will also be expected to attend classes and such at Rikkai Dai. You are a second year so it would fit your stature and it would give you two years to analyze the reasons for theses reiatsu spikes. After you arrive at Haji, the owner of the apartment's, home, you will have several days before school starts. Five to be exact. "

"If it's classes I have to go through again, I don't mind that much. Now to the point, I suppose I would be receiving a gigai for now." It won't be that bad. I repeated it to myself over and over again like a mantra. I'll just be stuck with a bunch of a-thousand-years-younger-than-me souls who worry about nothing but their grades or their looks.

"Ah-ha-ha" Kisuke weakly laughs. "That's where my concern is. You see, because you are so far away from me, if ever your gigai should be damaged, I would have no way to fix it other than to ride there which would take a long time and would happen often. Therefore I have created a unique gigai that uses your spiritual power to heal itself. The downside to this is that you have to merge temporarily with your gigai. So when you fight, it would be in the gigai." my eyebrows furrowed and my lips turned slightly downward(well more than usual at least). He must have caught the hint because he started explaining again. "Now wait a minute, don't you worry now, the gigai will not restrain your fighting abilities or spiritual powers. I have personally tested this out myself and created a gigai that once you have merged, will completely obey the mind's commands."

I am beginning to see how he was a former tai-chou. He knows that the body of a soul is controlled differently than the body of a human, and has overcome that impediment to create this unique gigai.

"Alright than, when would we begin this merging ritual?" I ask as he gives a sigh of relief.

Wait…it's not as if I have a choice in this do I?

"I'm glad you agreed otherwise we would have had to force you into the ritual. Normally, shinigami are hesitant before any sealing that will be done. But if you comply willingly, it makes things so much easier." He picks up his cane and stands up from the cushion in front of the table. I rise after him and follow him back to the area in which I arrived at.

He leads me to a different area where a man with partial dreadlocks and glasses in a white shirt and black apron is drawing kanji in ink surrounding a gigai that resembled me…somewhat.

"Please sit directly in the center of the circle." Then I noticed an area empty of kanji where I am expected to sit cross-legged. The kanji forms a link between the gigai and the empty area. "Oh, and please take off your shirt too because we need to draw kanji on your soul with my newly invented Soul Ink!"

Though it may be a bit awkward, I complied and sat in the area, unmoving while the man in an apron starts drawing kanji on me. Then after he finishes, he backs off. Kisuke stands in front of me and the gigai and begins pouring reiatsu into the painted kanji which begin to glow. Then out of the blue, the kanji on me begins burning painfully. After I'm a bit use to the burning pain, the kanji begins deforming and pulls at my soul. Whether it's pulling in or out, I am not aware of, but the pain doubles, especially near my abdomen. I do not let a whimper of pain escape my lips because pain is not something to express, I must bear it underneath and with me by myself. Then suddenly it is not only burning and pulling at me, it's cutting into me and searing my body with pain. I only released a gasp before I fell unconscious.

To Be Continued…

That's the first chapter!

Tell me what you want in there, for example the pairings of the third years

(the second years aren't there yet) and I'll see what I can do.

Rikkai Dai and Seigaku pairings welcome because Haji will be in Seigaku and Byakuya in Rikkai Dai

That is all!
