Gerissen durch Zwei Welten (Torn by Two Worlds)
Hello to all in the fanfiction world! This is my debut story and I'm gonna jump right in and do a Bleach/Elfen Lied crossover. I know it may seem a weird combination but I am going to do my best and try not to be to critical as this is my first shot at a fanfic. If you could review my work that would be great and maybe give me some tips on improvements for next time. Anyway as it is also an Elfen fanfic this is bound to have references to violence, gore and nudity as well as some mature themes so please be aware of that. Read on as we see Ichigo "Gerissen durch zwei Welten"
1. Gesetz Ein
IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME...
Lucy awoke from her long slumber. Last thing she could remember was facing an army of soldiers firing bullets from all angles as she took one final stand against the humans who had tormented and incarcerated her for the majority of her short life. As she assessed her surroundings she realised her environment was all to familiar. Straps, test tubes, computer monitors whose bright screens contrast the dark lighting and shadows of figures standing, gazing at her naked body.
This was where she belonged.
One dark shadow stepped forward to gain a closer look, although he wasn't human, in fact, he appeared to be more of a mutant than Lucy.
"A very interesting specimen, where did you find her again?" The man about faced.
"She-no-it was spotted around eastern Rukongai around five-am but by the time we responded to the distress call they were all dead..." another man spoke in sadness. "Every...last...one...men...women...children."
"Amazing!" the first man revealed "this small girl is capable of so much slaughter, and yet, she still qualifies for a place in Soul Society."
The two exchanged some incoherent conversation before leaving the room. The opened door offered brief light for Lucy, perhaps the thought of light at the end of the tunnel motivated her to escape.
Smash. Creak. Twist. The sounds of warping metal and glass echoed throughout the research facility. Lucy hummed a comforting tune while she walked slowly towards the door.
"Ahh...She...How did...Escape?" One man in a white coat muttered as he watched in awe as she obliterated her enclosure. Lucy turned her head to see his stance. She turned back as the man tore in two pieces, blood showering the room.
Lucy opened the door to find more shocked men in white coats. They too suffered the same brutal death as the first man as a curtain of death embraced her body. She walked along the corridor as more men fell just by being around her.
Lucy turned a corner to find a small group of people in black kimonos bearing katanas rather than the guns she was used to. The mutant-man from before was there wearing a white haori.
"Little girl" the man called out as his eyeballs rolled crazily "why are you out of your chamber? Never mind just return at once. I'm not done experimenting on you"
Lucy responded in a low voice. "Experiment? Do you think I am something that should be experimented on?"
"She's being difficult. Get her." The man called as the kimono-clad forces raised their swords in unison. After taking just one step all there arms flung off in succession. An orchestra of screams would have shattered the mutants ears instead a pair of cones provided protection from such noise.
"What's your name?" Lucy asked.
"Why you! Mayuri...Mayuri Kurotsuchi"
"I'll remember that when I kill all your men" she scoffed as she jumped into the ceiling and broke away from the research facility.
Mayuri was aghast as he produced several hell butterfly.
#This is a warning to all squads of the Gotei 13. We have a specimen released from the Bureau of research. I advise all to take caution as she is very dangerous and has potentially destructive powers we have yet to discover. Seal all gates of Sereitei and do not let her escape#
Soul Society was in emergency mode as all squads in the Gotei 13 were issued out to search and return the girl. Dead or Alive. Second Squad prides itself as a covert unit and was the first to find her as she neared the Red Hollow Gate.
"Stop!" Ordered a grotesque fat man from the squad. His name was Marechiyo Omaeda and was second in command of the squad. "Come to us calmly or we will use force."
Lucy stopped walking and slowly turned to face at least 40 people challenging her. All worthless according to her as she sliced apart the advancing troops who were within range.
Omaeda's jaw dropped. Eight people were killed in an instant before touching her. The other men were reluctant to take her on but had to be loyal to Soul Society.
"ATTACK!"
Without lifting a finger Lucy did what their swords could not and connected with invisible cutting prowess. Omaeda produced a large mace which broke apart as it neared Lucy. He was nearly sliced in two but his large berth prevented that as he fell in battle. Lucy walked towards him until she was standing over his face. Omaeda stared in dismay and shuddered.
"What...what the hell are you?" He cried as he pointed his finger.
"Shouldn't your kind know by now" Lucy replied as she silenced the man with a fatal blow.
Seretei is fortified by a wall made of Sekki Sekki stone which is immune to all spiritual attacks. Lucy's vectors were with her when she was born so she could penetrate the wall with ease.
"Where are you going?" One survivor called out "Once you leave here you'll forever remain in Soul Society. The only way out is through a Senkaimon Gate into the real world"
"Can you get me back to the real world?" She asked as if she was reasoning with the man.
"Well yes, all Shinigami c-"
"Take me there!" She interrupted. "Take me through your gate into the real world."
"But I can't...I'm supposed to return you to-" The man was lifted into the air by a telekinetic force as he felt a choking feeling around his neck. It was as if a pair of invisible hands were strangling him.
"I can't breathe! Please stop!!!"
"I will if you allow me through" Lucy demanded.
"Okay...I will let you through...Please just let me go."
The invisible arms withdrew from their prey as the man gasped for air. He held his sword forward and gave it a twist like a key opening an invisible door.
"Is this a joke?" Lucy commented. But before the man could respond a set of wooden Feudal Japanese style doors appeared and slid open to reveal a barren entrance to an unknown destiny. "Once you pass through here and reach the other side you should be in the real world."
"Thank you." Lucy said kind-heartedly. "I almost considered sparing your life."
"But-but I just opened the Senka-"
Lucy's presence was no longer sensed by the Shinigami. "Oh crap! She's gone through the Senkaimon! Release the Kototsu!"
The Dangai was like a dark corridor into nothingness as the walls crumbled and churned like a current. Lucy was used to death but she was put off by the atmosphere of this place.
~Just keep on going. Nearly there. I see it! The Exit~
RUMBLE. The Dangai shook in anger as a large object appeared behind Lucy. She wasn't risking her vectors on this and decided to run towards the exit, which was in her grasp. Just before she leapt out she took one last glance at her prison. She wasn't sure where she was before but hoped she could find a new life with Kouta and Yuka and the others. The Kototsu was near its ending path so Lucy took one final leap of faith into the light.
She was back home but in an unfamiliar land at the same time...
MEANWHILE...
New Karakura was still known as a sleepy town. Nothing exiting really happens here – not like the old town which was rimming with battles with monsters and flying humans. A young orange-haired boy named Ichigo Kurosaki walked along a shaded path as he reminisced his lost friends from the Arrancar war which ended a year to this day. All of Ichigo's loyal friends fought valiantly in Hueco Mundo but sacrificed themselves to help defeat the most powerful espada of them all: Espada Zero.
To make matters worse Karakura town was completely obliterated by the Arrancars and so the remnants of the town had to be relocated 100 kilometres north-east of the crater which was old Karakura. Ichigo's other friends from school also betrayed him after finding out that he was a Shinigami.
"I can't believe you Ichigo" Cried Tatsuki. "How can you hide things like this from your close friends? Orihime, Chad and Uryu are dead because of you! I never wanna see you again"
So now Ichigo was left to ponder about what life he could have had if not for encountering a soul reaper in the first place.
Ichigo was truly alone.
"Look out Kurosaki!" Called a familiar voice.
"Wha-," as Ichigo turned he faced a flying kick to the nose.
"Ow! What the hell was that for? Come here so I can kick your arse!"
As he regained his senses he saw the person who gave him the gift. A small black haired girl with a bang of hair between her eyes. It was none other than Rukia Kuchiki.
"Hey Ichigo! How's life been at New Karakura?"
"Just miserable," Sulked Ichigo. "All my friends are either dead or hate my guts. The only positive thing is that the Arrancars are finally gone...there are no more threats to Karakura. By the way what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in Soul Society?"
"I'm staying here...For good."
"But won't you lose your powers?" Ichigo said in curiosity.
"Most likely, but I've accepted that. Urahara gave me a special gigai so I could become human and live here with you," Rukia said in solemn tone. " But maybe if you keep radiating reatsu I might still be able to perform kido," Rukia added jokingly.
The two held hands as they reflected their lives for the past year and how they were moving on with the loss experienced after the Arrancar war.
"You know Rukia, I was just thinking about how my life would have turned out if I never met you. But in reality I don't think I could be any happier than when I'm with you."
Rukia looked up into his brown eyes as she shed a tear and smiled awkwardly trying hopelessly to hide her emotions. "I feel the same way Ichigo."
Both pursed their lips as they neared a kiss but were interrupted by an explosion in the distance.
"What was that?" Yelled Ichigo. "We better check it out in case someone got hurt."
Both were shocked to see a large crater form as the dust cleared. Even more shocking was a person in the centre of the crater lying face down, naked.
"Oh my God!" Rukia cupped her hands. "Is she dead?"
The person stood up and dusted themselves off as they turned to face the two concerned citizens.
"Hey young girl," Ichigo called. "Are you okay?"
Ichigo knew he stood out in a crowd due to his orange hair but this girl had pink hair and what appeared to be two small horns protruding from her hair. One of them looked damaged as it had a crack in it. The girls eyes stared blankly into Ichigo and her face spelt death.
Lucy despised all humans as they were the ones who tormented her all her life and in-turn were responsible for her death. She had no time to waste with these two insignificant beings. As she produced two of her four vectors (one of her horns was damaged so she could only release two vectors) an image flashed in her head of Kouta when she told him that if ever she killed a lot of people for him to kill her.
"Kouta. If I was to kill a lot of people I need you to stop me. If I ever did such a horrible thing, please end my life so I may be in peace"
Ichigo and Rukia were completely unaware of the death that nearly faced them as Lucy quickly withdrew her vectors.
~Dammit! I can't do it I must keep make Kouta happy even in my afterlife.~
Lucy collapsed as she faced a new mindset. What would she do now? Where will she go and how will she ever find Kouta again. Darkness clouded her doubts.
"Quick we better get her some medical attention." Rukia said in concern.
"We should send her to my Dad's clinic, with those strange horns she won't go down to well in a public hospital." Ichigo knew she was not an ordinary human but what on earth is the meaning of those horns? Perhaps she was a mutant as a result of Hiroshima.
Ichigo carried the strange girl as they rushed back to his house which was a matter of minutes away. Isshin and the twins were out so Ichigo and Rukia had to improvise with the first aid.
"We should use superglue for the broken horn," Rukia suggested.
"Do I give her mouth to mouth?" Ichigo said with enthusiasm. Rukia responded with a swift slap in the face.
"She's just a bit shaken up from the incident. I don't think she's suffered any significant trauma," Rukia gave a reasonable prognosis. "Give her some room on the lounge. I'll get her a warn blanket and a damp cloth."
KUROSAKI CLINIC: A FEW HOURS LATER
Ichigo and Rukia sat by the mysterious girl's side as they monitored her vital signs. She was unconscious for a while and the two were worried she may have a fever as she did not know how long she had been without clothes for.
"Perhaps she's homeless or is lost?" Ichigo hypothesized. "We should call the police soon after she wakes."
A weak groan was heard coming from the girl as she grew restless. Ichigo half stood before noticing her eyes slowly open.
"She's awake," Rukia said in amazement.
The girl's eyes opened wide in curiosity as she looked around the room.
"Hello. My name is Rukia. What's your name?"
"Nyu?"
"Nyu?" Ichigo thought that was a strange name.
"Nyu. NYU!" Suddenly she got up and ran around the room in confusion. She was still unclothed but she didn't notice as she paced around the house crying 'Nyu' wherever she went.
"Wait! Where are you going?" Ichigo called out but she didn't listen as she smashed a vase from a nearby table.
"Hey! Settle down! Your destroying my house!"
The girl stopped her rampage and turned to reveal a face of fear. She was acting more like a two-year old than a fully grown teenager - possibly even older than Ichigo. Her eyes glistened and her mouth turned into a large frown. Ichigo and Rukia knew the waterworks were coming.
"WAAAHHHH!!!!NYUNYUNYUNYUUUUUU!!!!!!"
She dropped to the floor in a tantrum and kicked her legs wildly. Ichigo had no idea what was going on.
"What do we do with her. I think she might have brain damage or something?" Ichigo yelled over the top of Lucy's cries.
"Try to calm her down first of all!" Rukia yelled in response. "You've obviously scared her after such a traumatic experience."
"How? Get her a toy animal? Pull a funny face? She's clearly nuts," suddenly the cries stopped and she looked up at Ichigo whom had a rather stern expression. "What do you want?" Ichigo pouted.
"Nyu," Lucy could only say in reply.
"Lets call her Nyu" Rukia suggested.
"You idiot she probably already has a name, and a home."
"Look at her Ichigo. She's obviously been abandoned long ago by whoever was her family. I think we should take care of her until she regains her memory."
"Great. Now I'll need to share a bed," Ichigo said, annoyed.
"Or you could just sort out some space in your closet and let her sleep there."
"Where will you stay?"
"I can squeeze in there to. There's plenty of room in your closet."
"Alright I s'pose. But what should I tell my Dad?"
"Best not inform him yet. He's a horny weirdo"
Ichigo could only agree to that statement.
BUREAU OF RESEARCH FACILITY
"This is unacceptable Kurotsuchi. How could you let her escape? You should have anticipated her potential for destruction and store her appropriately" Yammamoto was mad with fury. The aging man opened his eyes enough to reveal his anger.
"How do you think I feel captain-commander? I lost many good researchers to that slut," Mayuri barked in frustration.
"The important thing now is that we must find her and capture her before she does any significant damage in the world of the living" said Toshiro Hitsugaya. A small, young-looking boy with white hair. "Have you obtained any information yet about what she is exactly."
"Maybe we can be of help for that..." called out an unfamiliar voice.
"Who was that?" The captains said in unison.
The captains turned to see a group of newly arrived konpaku in ragged clothing. The man who called out looked messy but somewhat professional as if he used to be a businessman in his previous life. The man adjusted his thick glasses as he explained his identity. "You may call me by the name of Kurama, chief researcher of the Diclonius species – oh that's right – former chief researcher of the Diclonius"
