Note: This will probably stay a two-shot because I'm currently writing other stories. I couldn't resist making a Bleach and LoZ crossover, so here it is. The instant I started watching Bleach, I was hooked. I HAD to bring two of the greatest things ever together. This chapter focuses on Zelda (the person). It's funny because although this is supposed to be a Bleach and LoZ crossover, Bleach characters are only briefly mentioned XD. There might be some discrepancies with some of the Bleach terms, (sorry I'm still new to Bleach) so if something is wrong please be a good senpai help me brush up on my Bleach terminology. Thanks for checking this out. Enjoy!
PS. Silly me! I forgot to mention this happens around the time Ichigo and his friends break into Seireitei to rescue Rukia. But I think I dropped enough clues ;)
Wise Words of a Zanpakuto
Chapter One
Zelda checked her surroundings to see if the coast was clear. There was no sign of the Shingami that had pursued her earlier.
Night had fallen over the Soul Society, the darkness providing Zelda a hiding place in the shadows. Zelda decided she wanted to speak with her Zanpakuto, Sheik. Zelda had no idea how to continue, so she thought Sheik would be able to guide her in the right direction.
"Sheik can you come out for a moment?" Zelda whispered.
Sheik materialized next to Zelda,"You called Princess?"
Intially, Zelda had been shocked that she was wielding a sword (A/N: I apologize to all Zanpakuto for referring to them as "swords". They're MORE than that.) Never in her life had she touched a sword, much less owned one. However things had changed when Link and Zelda landed in Seireitei.
The two Hyrulians had no idea where they were or how they had arrived; but soon discovered they possessed Zanpakutos, which caused an uproar all around Soul Society. In most ways, they were much like Shinigami.
Nevertheless, their appearance wasn't well received; as Seireitei already had another swath of intruders/ryoka to deal with.
Arriving in Seireitei didn't smooth things over with the Shinigami and the two Hyrulians. In fact, the pair was perceived as a threat; since both had attained Shingami powers without any proper training.
Zelda couldn't understand how she had wound up in this situation; as she was still adjusting to the new world she currently found herself in.
Seen instantly as dangerous by Seireitei and on the verge of being killed, Link and Zelda had no choice but to ally themselves with a certain orange-haired boy who was hell-bent on saving his friend.
Sometime during the ordeal, Link and Zelda had become separated.
"I'm worried about Link. What if he runs into a captain?" Zelda murmured.
"You don't need to worry about him. Link can take care of himself. You can still feel his reiatsu right? That means he still alive and kicking. So cast your worries aside." Sheik said.
"I guess you're right. But it's a little scary to think that if even one of us encounter a captain we'll die. I've felt their reiatsu; all absolutely overwhelming. And lately Link has been different..."
Sheik nodded along,"Captains have fearsome reiastsu, but as long as you stay out if their way you'll be fine. Link has been different? I agree with that conclusion, Princess. I've taken note of changes in his zanpakuto and overall spiritual energy."
"It's not only that. I've heard him talking to himself, sometimes his voice changes. The other voices I hear don't sound like him at all."
(A/N: Sheik blames puberty XD)"All boys voices change as they age. Some people talk to themselves out of a nervous habit. Did you ever think Link was trying to communicate with his Zanpakuto?" Sheik replied.
"Now that I think about it, he's never told me anything about his Zanpakuto. I've told him all about you, but he hasn't even shown me his much less told me it's name."
"Maybe he has difficulty making his Zanpakuto materialize, or maybe he can't speak to his Zanpakuto properly; it's not unheard of. Sometimes a Zanpakuto can't hear it's master because their master has some sort of mental ailment. Or he could just be embarrassed of it. He's always been a rather bashful boy."
Zelda smiled then said,"Thanks Sheik. Although he may not trust me; I guess I shouldn't be such a worrywart." she paused and her smiled faded,"I just get the feeling Link and I didn't get separated by accident. I think he left me."
Afterword: Well that's a wrap for chapter one. I don't expect much of a reaction from anyone. I don't think Bleach and Zelda crossovers are very popular (who cares I'm typing with my heart. I say the corniest things when I'm tired). Also I think I majorly failed trying to use semicolons. Whatever, I can use it as I please here. Expect the next chapter soon. Constructive criticism and reviews are always appreciated. Thanks for reading. Bon voyage! :)
