AN IMPORTANT AUTHOR NOTE (for the first time) READ IT IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON!
Okay…this is an idea that came to me a long time ago. It's some sort of a crossover between Bleach and Xiaolin Showdown. Yeah weird! I don't know if I should put it in a category so if you please give me your opinion about it. Also I don't know if I'll continue it, I publish it to satisfy myself but I do have the story line planned.
So, the four dragons from XS (Omi, Kimiko, Clay and Raimundo) became shinigami. It passed like one hundred of years or so since they died and other dragons took their places. Also, the four of them became really powerful shinigami and bla bla bla and after a while came all that Aizen thing and the betrayal and three squads as you know remained without a captain. (I'm too lazy to explain more and beside everything made a lot more sense in my head)
Also I have to say they are older now, dunno how old, you decide, but I was thinking between 17-22! Now…
Kimiko - Captain of squad tree (yeah she took Ichimaru 's place); her lieutenant is Kira Izuru and her sword is named Hayame (dunno what it means but I like it), a fire type of course. Her zanpakuto is two swords kodachi with crimson hilts that she keeps on her lower back. Her shinigami uniform is also different from the others. She usually wears a black tank top with straps around the back of her neck and a long black dress with clefts on both sides with a red sash and the normal white haori. Her hair is always tied in a high ponytail. The command of her zanpakuto is 'Burn them to bone' and in its shikai, the edges are engulfed in fire. She also achieved Bankai.
Raimundo - Captain of squad nine with Hisagi Shuhei as his lieutenant. His zanpakuto is called Teikiatsu (means cyclone or hurricane or something like that) and it's a katana with a white hilt. The command is 'Call upon the rains and thunders' and in shikai form the katana transforms in a curved silver sword. He also knows how to control Bankai.
Omi - Captain of squad five with Momo Hinamori as his lieutenant. Because of his height he had a difficult time proving himself worthy for his rank but as ambitious as he is, he demonstrated everyone how powerful he truly is. His zanpakuto is Mizuhebi (means water serpent) and it has the form of a normal katana. Her command is 'Drown' and in shikai his sword becomes transparent like ice. He is still learning how to master Bankai.
Clay - He is the third seat of the third squad. Even if he had the chance to become a captain, he refused. His zanpakuto is a katana called Seishinnoki (means freshness). The command is 'Wreck havoc' and in his Shikai form, Seishinnoki transforms in an axe. Even thought he isn't captain or lieutenant he is capable to perform Bankai.
Now...on with the first chapter!
Chapter 1
The two teens rushed in the air, each one lost in their own thoughts. Soutaicho's words were still ringing in their heads, bringing a cloud of concern over their minds. Whatever Aizen planned with those four humans wasn't just a picnic and it was sure everything was meant to weakened or even destroy Soul Society. But with the Hogyoku and the power of his ten Espada, why would he even need some puny humans? What could they possibly offer him?
A frown took over Raimundo's features as his eyes sharpened in annoyance of all the questions running though his head. How much he would try, Rai couldn't found the right answer. At least there were two captains that Yamamoto-soutaicho sent to protect the humans. In the worst case, if an Espada attacked, the two of them could handle it.
His face softened thinking at his comrades, his long life best friends.
Clay, the big imposing cowboy, that was before and still was the muscles of their little 'team'. He was the third seat of the third squad and if you could believe it or not, he didn't give up at his beloved hat.
Then there was Omi. The bald monk remained the shortest one of them as he only grew inches since he well…died. But despite his high, Omi was quite respected in Seiretei just like the ice-like captain, Hitsugaya Toshiro. Omi was well known for his kind, golden heart, but was as well feared for his tremendous power that he still had to learn to control from his zanpakuto, Mizuhebi.
And lastly, the fiery captain of squad five, Kimiko. In all these years she didn't changed at all, spiritually speaking; she was the same hot-headed that he would go into a fight with. But physically, she was far more beautiful than before. She was more graceful and more powerful than before and to top it all, she learned how to control her temper and her own team. Still, Raimundo was the only one who could break through her walls and annoy the heck out of her as usual.
And about the ex-leader of the xiaolin team…he was the same carefree, lazy-bone as before and because of that he often got into arguments with his lieutenant, Hisagi Shuhei, over the paperwork.
"Raimundo!"
He has always thought they would still be friends, even after death…
"Rai!"
And it indeed happened…and he couldn't be happier than this…
"RAI!"
The brown haired boy blinked, snapping out of his thoughts and turned his head to glance at Kimiko, who was watching him curiously. "Yeah! What is it?"
The raven haired girl shook her head with a sigh. "Of course!...I asked how can we know for sure that Aizen is behind all of this?"
Raimundo shrugged. "We don't! But the old man was really worried, and I doubt hollows start popping out just for the sake of it!"
"Well…I can't say no to that! There must be something going on even if Aizen is involved or not!" the girl muttered flipping her phone opened. She smirked. "We're there!"
Raimundo did the same as his green eyes caught sight of the old, Chinese buildings of the temple. They both stopped in midair and watched the immensity of the Xiaolin temple, the joy and content obvious in their eyes.
"I hope Kurotsuchi's thing will work…!" muttered the brunet stretching his arms.
Kimiko nodded, her hand drawn to the still sore spot on her arm. "I hate being the guinea pig!"
-Bleach-
"Han, gather your chi, focus your energy and visualize your objective!" spoke the master watching his student knitting his eyebrows in concentration. In the next second, a flame bursts in his palm flickering in the soft wind blowing around.
The raven haired boy snapped his eyes open, smiling brightly as the flame engulfed his fist before throwing it on the other side of the field, hitting the dummy straight in the chest. "Ha! I did it!"
"Great job, fire boy! I'm impressed you didn't burned down the temple!"
Han's eyebrow twitched in annoyance. "Che…Shut up, Kass! Or ya want this on your ass?"
The girl smirked, swiftly stepping behind him. "Did you just threatened my ass, mate?"
They shared ten seconds of sending each other death glares, before Master Ren cleared his throat. "Ok kids! I don't want to hear your argument so could you please step back and let Joseph and Suna practice as well?"
Han let the fire to go out and left sparing one last glare at Kass who stuck her tongue out in return. From behind their teacher stepped other two kids, a blond boy with brown eyes and a red haired girl with blue eyes.
Joseph walked forward on the training ground with Suna trailing behind him. He lowered his gaze, frowning as he cracked his knuckles. "Would you please step back, Suna?" he asked kindly earning a nod from the girl.
He bent his knees and swiftly thrusted his arms ahead. "Steel Cage, Metal!" Along with his move, huge gray spikes rose from the ground in a circle around the dummy closing it between them.
"Woohoo! Way to go, handsome!" yelled Kassie clapping, making Han roll his eyes.
"Very well doen, Joseph! Suna, you're up next!" said Master Ren with a gentle smile.
The girl stepped forward, letting out a long breath. "Ok! Here I go!" She took a stance in front of the training doll and quickly clasped her hands. "Hypersonic Wave, Sound!" the clap sent tremendous sound waves in the air that made everyone cover their ears while the wall behind the doll suddenly fell apart and on top of it.
She smiled turning around for her master's verdict. He nodded shortly. "It is very good, although you need to aim your chi on the target and not let it spread around you."
The two moved back beside Han and Kassie as Master Ren declared the end of the training session. The four teens turned to their usual activities as the master left, picking up Dojo as he passed by the window sill. The dragon jerked up, looking sleepily over the training fields. "Wha'? is the training already done?"
"Yes Dojo!" he started to walk inside when he was stopped by a monk.
'Master Ren, some people came here and requested to see you!"
"Thank you, Master Lei!" they bowed and the master went toward the entrance with Dojo standing on his shoulder.
There at the entrance stood a girl and a boy, older than his students, but still very young in his opinion wearing some black clothes with a white robe over them and caring…were those swords? Dojo gasped gaining the man's attention but before he could ask something, the little dragon ran up to them, transformed in his huge size and pulled them in a deathly hug.
"Dojo, let go!"
"Come on, dude! I think I heard a snap!"
"Sorry…but is so good to see you!" reasoned the dragon almost spilling tears.
Master Ren watched curiously the exchange and cleared his throat, drawing their attention. "Dojo, do you know them?"
Dojo shrunk back, crawling on the green eyed teen's shoulder, his mood clearly in the ninth heaven. "Well…um, yes! I know them!" he glanced secretly at the two and at their nod he continued on a lighter tone. "Actually, I've met them one hundred years ago! It's quite a story."
"That's right! We would better explain inside, away from curious eyes!" spoke the girl strongly.
"Anyway…I'm Raimundo and the pretty girl is Kimiko! You are Master Ren, right?" The monk nodded at the brunet and motioned for them to follow him.
"Pretty girl?" Kimiko cocked her eyebrow in a way Raimundo usually did around her, earning a small smile from the boy.
"What? Can't I say how beautiful I think my girlfriend is?"
Dojo 'ahem'-ed at them before Kimiko had the chance to land a quick kiss or even embrace her boyfriend. "I know this is a lovey-dovey moment but can't you wait for later?"
Raimundo grunted in response while the girl rolled her eyes. They didn't had time to say anything else though because they entered a room and sat at the table.
"So…" began the monk. "What is going on?"
The two straightened up suddenly becoming serious. "You see, we were Xiaolin Dragons one hundred years ago and we risked our lives in order to save the world. We died and became shinigami, spirits that help other souls pass on. We are currently on a mission and we need your assistance. We believe your students are in danger."
The man nodded calmly. "I sensed a strange aura gathering around the temple in the last few days. And at their current levels, my students are not ready to fight the entity behind it." he turned to look at them, laying his gaze on each one of them. "If what you say is true, then I guess you're here to protect them."
They answered with a yes and Master Ren got up. "Well, with that being said, I'll tell someone to prepare two rooms for you, while I'll go to announce the dragons about this."
"Um…could you please skip the part of us being dead?" asked Kimiko rubbing her neck. "We don't want to scare them."
The old monk left the room followed by Dojo who turned to give them a knowing look before he disappeared behind the door and leaving the two alone.
"So…where were we?" Rai said quietly.
Kimiko smiled leaning forward for a kiss that Rai gladly accepted, brushing his hand on her small neck while hers wrapped around his neck pulling him closer.
"We're not off duty, remember?" brought up the girl looking him in the eyes.
Raimundo on the other side smirked. "We're not in Seiretei anymore! Just relax, Kimi!"
"I am!" she came again with another kiss and so they continue until a spark of reiatsu appeared in the forest making them both groan in frustration.
-Xiaolin Showdown-
Master Ren walked outside, watching for a second as his students played carelessly in the garden. Seeing his approach, Joseph jumped down off the tree followed by Suna, Han and Kass standing up (some with groans) and walking up to him. They stood lined up in front of him waiting for their teacher to speak. Dojo crawled on the man's shoulder looking happier than usual and that itself raised some question in their heads.
"I don't know how I should…classified these news so I'll tell you directly. A few days ago, I've sensed something, a very strong energy that I'm afraid will give you a hard time in the future. In that case, we're going to have some new allies that will aid you in fighting this evil.!"
"Is that why Dojo is so hyper?" asked Kass eyeing the green dragon.
"Oh yeah! It's gonna be like old times!" he mumbles looking like he was reliving some old memories, which truthfully he was. "Okay! Guys, could you come out for a sec?" Silence. "Um…guys?"
The answer was what they least expected. A screeching noise filled the sky, paralyzing everyone with their chilling air. Master Ren quickly turned around in time to see the opposite wall smashed by someone thrown in it.
The figure slid out of the cloud of dust, crouching down as he did. He swiftly raised his arm, his palm facing whatever was on the other side, his lips moving as the incantation slipped out. A beam of crimson light exploded from his hand soaring through the air, and cutting the debris in half as it approached the thing.
The creature he was fighting had blue skin, boney arms and legs and a white mask with only two slits revealing its empty yellow eyes. The thing vanished avoiding the attack and appeared in the air, ready to come down with its fist while letting out another shriek. It started to form a red ball in front of where its mouth was supposed to be but it hadn't the time to launch it as he was suddenly sliced in four by a girl that gracefully landed beside the boy, holding two swords.
"Did you call, gecko?" asked the brown haired boy turning around with a cocky grin. Dojo fumed while the girl shook her head and sheathed her sword, putting them back on her lower back.
"Sorry for the wall! The girl said. "We wanted to lure it in the forest but it didn't seem to agree with it!" she shrugged.
Silence passed over their heads, while the four dragons stared wide eyed opened at them. It was starting to be uncomfortable and Rai was on the verge on yelling something when Han asked out of the blue.
"So…what was that thing?"
Master Ren let out an imperceptible sigh of relief. "That was the source of the energy I've felt lately. Though, I'm afraid there are more of them!"
They nodded when a clasp startled everyone. Turning around, they saw Raimundo smiling brightly. "With this interesting meeting why don't we go inside and discuss everything over a cup of tea…y'know, it works well when we're gonna talk about creatures that want to kill you!"
"HUH?"
"Just details, details!" he waved nonchalantly still grinning carelessly when the girl's fist suddenly connected with his head throwing him on the ground.
"Ow! Did I tell ya how hard you hit?"
"You've had worse!"
And so, with that amazingly entertaining conversation, the group walked inside ready to find out more about what was going on and who were those guys.
Please...I really need your opinion about this! Thank you!
