Chapter 1: A summoner is born

A/N: I know, I must be crazy to start a new story when I have so many others that aren't even finished yet. What can I say; I guess I get a thrill of starting something new that I can't even help myself.

Here's my new crossover story between Bleach and Final Fantasy X. I don't know how this is going to turn out, but I hope everyone likes it.

This chapter isn't much, just introducing the ocs for the story.

I already have my Oc's for this story out on Deviantart if you want to see them.

Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy X or Bleach; I just own my Oc's.

Enjoy!

The summoners are practitioners of a sacred art, sworn to protect the people of Yevon. Only a chosen few become summoners, who call fourth entities of greater power: the aeons.

The aeons hear our prayers and come down to us. They are the blessing of Yevon. They are the pillars of hope during Sin's arrival.

Soul Reapers are the guardians of the Soul Society, sworn to protect the souls of the living. Only a selected few can become Soul Reapers, who are able to draw the spirits of their Zanpakuto.

They are the pillars of justice that protect the souls from Hollows.

Different worlds, different jobs, but similar purposes.

These worlds have clashed, due to the laws of the world. However, one summoner and one Soul Reaper will break the wall that has kept them apart this whole time.

Will they form the bridge of unity and peach that the worlds have longed for?

Or will they create the pit of sorrow and despair that they feared of?

Only fate can tell.

Bevelle; the heart of Spira and the follower of Yevon. Behind these temples, Yevon's teachings are thoroughly taught to future summoners and Maesters.

With Sin ever present, Bevelle wants to keep Yevon's teaching alive so that the people of Spira do not lose hope.

It had been ten years since High Summoner Braska defeated Sin. Ten years where everyone could live in peace without the worry of thinking each day would be their last.

It was both comforting and sad at the same time. It was because that happiness would soon be shattered because Sin would always come back.

And back it came. After ten years of the Calm, Sin had showed its ugly head again in Spira.

Summoners young and old had stepped forward to start their pilgrimage to defeat Sin.

One of those young souls was none other than Braska's daughter, Yuna.

The other one was her cousin, Haine, who had just finished her inauguration in Bevelle.

This is how our story began.

/

Haine was daughter of one of the Maesters hailing in Bevelle. As such, she took the teachings of Yevon very seriously. She had to really if she wanted to be a summoner.

After seeing how heroic her uncle Braska was when he sacrificed himself to defeat Sin, she wanted to follow in his footsteps and to cast away everyone's fears for good.

While it was traditional and part of the teachings to start the pilgrimage in Besaid, Haine did the unthinkable and started it in Bevelle. That may have seemed bad to acquire the first aeon in a homeland, Haine had her reasons.

She didn't want to be just a summoner, but a guardian as well; Yuna's guardian to be exact.

After hearing that her beloved cousin was going on a pilgrimage as well, she broke one of the traditional teachings by obtaining Bevelle's aeon.

How else would she protect Yuna otherwise?

Despite this seeming taboo, Haine was going to go through with her plans. If her cousin was going to sacrifice herself for Spira's sake, she was going to go through with it too.

Because that's what families do.

"I can't wait until we see Yunie!" Haine cheered.

She was busy packing all of the things she would need for her travels.

Her older sister, Shaiya watched her with mild interest. She was Haine's guardian as well as a skilled blue mage. She could copy her enemy's moves as long as she saw it once.

Haine fixed her chestnut hair and looked up from her stuff.

"Do you think Yunie will be happy to see us?" she asked.

Shaiya got up from her bed.

"Don't know" she said.

"But knowing her, I'm sure it'll make her happy to see her family"

Haine smiled at that.

"I can't wait to see her!" she repeated.

"I've missed her so much! Writing letters just doesn't cut it. I need to see what she looks like now!"

"I bet she looks like Uncle Braska" Shaiya said.

"She always did carry his features"

Haine smiled at that.

After Braska defeated Sin ten years ago, Yuna was sent to Besaid so she could live a happy life. It heartbreaking since the cousins were so close, but she figured it was best for her. They were able to write to each other after all.

After pack up a couple of sphere recorders, Haine closed her pack up and placed it at the foot of her bed.

"There! That should do it!"

Shaiya sweat dropped when she saw how big her pack was.

"Don't you think you over did it a bit?" she asked.

Haine laughed nervously as she rubbed her head.

"Maybe" she admitted.

"But since it'll only be the two of us for a while, you can never be sure"

Shaiya shrugged.

"If you say so" she said.

Haine stifled a yawn behind her hand. She never realized how late it was until just then. She had spent the whole day packing up and saying her farewells to everyone at the temples.

Tomorrow they would begin their journey to Besaid, where Yuna was. After that, they would journey with her until they reached to Zanarkand and obtained the final aeon.

That is, if Yuna would allow them.

They figured she would never oppose to the idea of her cousins want to protect her, but she always felt bad about it.

They would just have to wait and see.

Shaiya got into bed and bid her sister goodnight.

"Be ready to get up and early tomorrow" she said.

Haine nodded and got into bed as well.

Before she went to sleep, she took one last look at her room.

There were so many things she collected during her time here. Each artifact held certain memories of her life. Pictures of when she was younger were hung in frames. Posters of certain Blitzball teams were up on the walls. Even certain spheres that she recorded of her family were scattered all over the place.

She smiled sadly, knowing that this would probably be the last time that she slept in this room.

Because once she got the final aeon, there would be no coming back to here.

But that was alright. She was doing something noble. Everyone in Spira was depending on her and the other summoners. They were the pillars of hope during Sin's arrival. If they didn't do something, then Spira would be lost. Her uncle did it, so why not her?

Knowing that, she was able to fall asleep soundly.

She was one of the pillars of hope that kept the people of Spira at ease. She would be the one who would help defeat Sin.

Knowing that, she awaited for the adventures that would start tomorrow.

A/N: I know, sucky intro, but hey, they're not my strongest subject when it came to writing stories.

Despite this being the first chapter and not having a lot to offer, please tell me what you think. And tell me what you think of what they look like from my Deviantart page.

Ja ne!
