This is a disclaimer! I do not, nor in the foreseeable future will I, own Bleach or any of the associated characters. They are the property of Kubo Tite-sensei. All I own is the idea of the Shinzui Musha, Maede Ryusuke, Hideyoshi, Maruya Minako, the Tsuiraku-Chou enclave, and anything else that I come up with that you don't see in the Bleach anime or manga. Also, I don't own Ranma 1/2. That belongs to the great Takahashi Rumiko-sama.

Bleach: Total Chaos

Prologue

Standing on a hill, looking down at Karakura Town, he sighed. The cool wind whipped through his hair, blowing it in front of his brilliant green eyes. The elders had sent him here, because he was the great prodigal one. The Saishuu. The first one born in centuries that could fully harness use of his reiatsu. He'd almost died of laughter when he'd overheard Tensa-jii's lament of 'the first in 500 years, and he wants to copy a cartoon' in reference to his use of the powerful hybrid martial arts style he called 'Anything Goes'. Grinning at the memory, he began down the hillside. Then the huge reiatsu struck him like a truck. A battle was occuring in this town, and he had sworn to the Code of the Martial Artist. Taking off at full speed, he wasn't sure he'd make it in time either way...

Tokyo

He watched the two shinigami, walking about in their fake bodies. He wanted to engage them in combat so badly he could taste it. He sighed, realizing that it was a futile desire. To attack them in full view, even at night, was a foolish thought. It would reveal him, and being ronin, that didn't seem too good an idea. Then he felt the pulse of power, the reiatsu of a shinigami of at least captain-level. He could feel it to the south, calling to him. Looking down at the pair before him, he decided them little threat and turned. Maybe, just maybe, this one would be worth it...

Hokkaido

Trudging along the roadside, the girl frowned. Faintly, she could feel an enormous reiatsu to the south. 'Dammit. That's fromjust about where Ryu-kun should be. Knowing him, he's probably in the middle of it' she thought as she cinched up her hood against the cold wind. Brushing a strand of hair out of her eyes, she set her jaw and took off at a brisk pace. She knew that the elders wouldn't approve, and very likely would send someone after her, maybe even declare her ronin, but she didn't care. She knew that something important was going to occur in Karakura, and Ryu was going to be right in the middle of it. And if she had any say in it, she would be at right at his side.

Standing over a clear pool, a pair of yellow eyes flashed. "Good. All the players are assembling. Soon, I'll be able to enact my plan, and neither Aizen nor that fool Kariya will know that anything beyond their own middling plans has occured" the voice apused at this, then began laughing. A cold, low laugh, one that would chill even the most powerful Hollow, or Zaraki Kenpachi.
