Hey there folks! Lonelyraevyn here with my first ever attempt at a cross-over fic. I've only ever written one fic so far, but decided to abandon it when I realized something that infuriated me to no end. One of the OC's I inserted into the story had very quickly become a Gary Stu... urk... gonna be sick...
So here it is, A Bleach and Rosario Vampire Crossover with an altered Character from a story of my own design that you can find on Fiction Press called "The Elite". If any of you are interested, feel free to check it out; but be advised, that story is currently in the process of being edited top to bottom so many things may change in relatively short order.
Now, I am going to get straight to the point. Pairings. I usually do these sorts of things by my own design, but in the case of fanfiction I am always open to Ideas from my readers. I will be holding several polls, one for each prominent male character that will have a pairing, that you will be able to find on my profile page. Tsukune will be the first of three. Once completed I will post the results in short order. Now, let us begin shall we?
Prologue: A Meeting Among Captains Living and Dead
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, or Yamamoto Sou-Taicho[1], looked out over the gathered Captains of the Gotei thirteen and one Shinigami Daikou with his usual gaze. Eyes perpetually closed and the cane that was the disguised Ryujin Jakka held in front of him, both wizened hands clasped firmly upon its' gnarled head. For several minutes already they had been silent; and Yamamoto knew that it was only a matter of time before Kurosaki Ichigo became impatient enough to give him the opening he sorely needed to begin the meeting.
They were still short two Captains because of the War, and Kurosaki Ichigo's powers were still on the mend. Though where Ichigo was concerned, he still possessed three times the Reiatsu[2] of a normal Captain of the Gotei Thirteen. To say that his powers were still recovering was actually rather frightening.
A tick then developed in Ichigo's left eyebrow, his eyes closed and head slightly nodded forward with his usual scowl; the time had come.
"Oi, jii-san[3]. I don't have all day you know!" Ichigo growled, his reiatsu spiking ominously in a clear sign of annoyance. "You called me here with little to no warning, so if you could kindly get this meeting moving, that would be greatly appreciated."
His hard brown eyes then opened to regard the aforementioned 'old man[3]' with his usual cold glare from out beneath his long bangs. After the war, Ichigo's appearance had slowly returned to the one that the Captains had come to recognize as his post-dangai training appearance. Once short and vibrant orange hair that had been stuck in wild spikes was now straight and a shade of burnt orange resembling a flame. He was a towering six foot four, standing only slightly shorter than the monstrous Kenpachi Zaraki. His trademark Cleaver Blade, Zangetsu, was strapped to his back, ready for immediate use.
Yamamoto nodded, but just as he was about to speak Sui-Feng, Captain of the second division intervened with a snarl. "Speak to Yamamoto Sou-Taicho with respect Shinigami Daikou[4]-teme, or I'll introduce you to my good friend Suzumebachi!"
Sui-Feng was a short and petite woman standing no taller than five feet with black hair worn short with two long braids wrapped in cloth and ending in large gold rings. Slim but very fit, the Head of the Onmitsukidou was by far one of the Gotei Thirteen's most powerful Captains. She wore the traditional uniform of the head of the onmitsukidou; a sleeveless black shirt that doesn't cover the back or shoulders, while long black arm bands covered her arms. She wore the standard Hakama of the Shinigami, and a white Haori with the Kaniji for the Number two printed in black on the back tied off with a yellow obi. On her feet, instead of the straw sandals favoured by most shinigami, were a pair of traditional Chinese shoes with plain white socks.
Ichigo raised a single eyebrow for only a moment before his signature scowl was once more in place. Waving dismissively in Sui Feng's direction as he returned his scowling gaze to the Sou-Taicho he snorted derisively. "Yeah yeah, whatever shorty. Lets just get on with it."
Visibly fuming because of the jab at her height, Sui Feng was about to retort when Yamamoto slammed his cane into the hard wood floor. Bringing immediate silence. "We have a situation in the world of the living. An old friend of mine has requested immediate assistance be sent to the school he founded in a secluded dimension located somewhere in Japan. His assistant has reported not only several regular hollow in what has been until now a hollow free zone, but arrancar have also made their presence known."
Ichigo's entire demeanour changed instantly at the mention of arrancar. Where once there was a brooding teenager that didn't know how to smile and didn't realize that his scowl had probably become a permanent addition to his features because of it's exhaustive use in his daily life, was a seasoned warrior far more powerful than any one person in the room save for the Sou-Taicho himself. What was confusing him however was the mention of this 'old friend'. Looking around discreetly at the Captains, he quickly realized that the feeling was not only his own.
"Jii-san, who exactly is this old friend of yours?" Ichigo wondered aloud; Sui Feng once again bristled at the lack of proper address but held her tongue. She would get him back later, she thought with a nod and a glare.
Yamamoto opened a single eye, scrutinizing the orange haired Shinigami carefully before answering and letting his eye slowly drift closed once again. "He is known as The Dark Lord Mikogami, one of the three most powerful living beings in existence. He is the Headmaster of an Academy for Youkai[5] called, incidentally, Youkai Academy. We have been maintaining an alliance between the Youkai Worlds and Soul Society for several centuries, and since he has requested assistance I will not deny him."
Ichigo nodded, and much to the other Captains slight shock and amusement, began collaborating with Yamamoto about the mission; leaving the other captains behind almost instantly. "If the arrancar are involved you'll need to send at least two taicho's[6] and fuku-taicho's[7] to be safe."
Yamamoto nodded and motioned for his lieutenant to come out from behind him where he'd been standing at attention. "I will be sending three taicho's and two fuku-taicho's to aid in the protection of the Academy as you've said."
At this Ichigo nodded. "Mind telling me who?"
Yamamoto almost seemed to smile deviously at that, and it instantly sent a shiver down the spines of several of those present. "Sui Feng Taicho, Hitsugaya Taicho, Matsumoto Fuku-taichou, and Kuchiki Fuku-Taicho."At this, Ichigo almost tripped standing still.
"Kuchiki Fuku-Taicho?" He asked nervously, almost stuttering, forgetting for the moment that Yamamoto had only mentioned the names of two Taicho's.
At that, a short, and petite young woman even smaller than the petite Taicho of the second stepped out from her Captain's shadow and smirked at the baffled carrot top. "Hello... strawberry."
Ichigo grit his teeth, but those present only realized that when his lips parted so he could grind out a retort. "Sup... midget."
He was promptly kicked in the shin and punched in the gut. The one-two had him bent over clutching his shin at one moment before sending him to the floor in a gasping heap. Rukia let a smug smile replace her cool facade for a moment before stepping back in line beside her Captain, Juushiro Ukitake
Several of the Captains rolled their eyes at the display, while Kyouraku and Juushiro chuckled quietly to themselves. Sui Feng was practically beaming and Yamamoto was unreadable as always.
When Ichigo finally regained his bearing and his feet, he cracked his neck and turned his body to face the Sou-Taicho once more while his sharp gaze remained on an ever-smug Rukia. "I'll get you for that you little demon. For now though, jii-san..." He returned his focus back to Yamamoto followed by everyone else in the first division meeting room. "You said three Captains were being sent, so who's the third one?"
There it was again, the ghost of a devious grin on Yamamoto's usually stoic face. Chojiro Sasakabe vanished the instant Ichigo's eyes closed, something that was becoming one of his regular habits since his eyes tended to scare most people now-a-days; and in that instant, Ichigo took notice of three things happening within the next few seconds..
He distinctly heard Rukia let out a small gasp, then there was the sound of something large hitting the floor and an alarmed cry of "Nii-sama[8]!", before Ichigo felt a sudden weight on his shoulders.
His eyes snapped open in that instant only to see the Captains all appraising him with slightly wide eyes. Sui Feng was furious, if the grinding teeth and shaking fists were any indication. Ichigo then noted with no small amount of amusement, that Byakuya had fainted.
Then he noticed the reason why. Draped across his shoulders and covering all but the handle of his cleaver like zanpakutou from view, was a pure white Haori with the Kanji for five clearly displayed on the back. In his shock, Ichigo could only blink several times before taking hold of the Haori and bringing it around his body so he could get a better look at it.
Holding it out at just about arms-length, he cast his scrutinizing gaze over the garment that would name him the Taicho of the Fifth Division.
Several more blinks later, and it seemed to many of the Captains that Ichigo had finally broken. He didn't move for at least five minutes, before Yamamoto cleared his throat loudly.
Ichigo jumped near three feet into the air from a still standing position.
"Kurosaki Ichigo, for your contribution in the Winter War and for defeating the traitorous Shinigami Taicho Sousuke Aizen, I hereby announce your promotion to Taicho of the Fifth Division and present you with your Haori. The Position of Fifth Division Fuku-Taicho will be filled by Chojiro Sasakabe while you are away on your first mission as a Taicho, he will personally look after your Division while you are away. Once you return, I expect you to begin your official duties as a Taicho of the Gotei thirteen in their entirety." At this point Ichigo made to object but was silenced when Yamamoto raised his hand in a stopping gesture before continuing. "As you are a living soul, I am well aware of your responsibilities in the world of the living. All I ask is for you to spend your evenings and weekends here in Soul Society attending to your duties. The rest of your time is yours to live your life as you have been until now, that is of course, until your death."
Ichigo was silent for several moments, before he sighed and removed Zangetsu from his back. He handed his Zanpakutou to Zaraki so he could put on his Haori properly, tugging at the sleeves so they sat properly over his shihakusho, before retrieving Zangetsu and slinging him back to his usual position on his back. Seeing that Ichigo had accepted the promotion, Yamamoto nodded and asked those he'd selected for the mission to the world of the living to step up front and centre.
When Sui Feng, Ichigo, Hitsugaya, Rangiku, and Rukia were standing in a line before him he cleared his throat once again. "The five of you will leave for the world of the living immediately. You are to rendezvous with one of Mikogami's acquaintances once you arrive. He is a Captain in an influential Militant organization that deals in the policing of Yokai in the Human World, operating out of their Headquarters in Tokyo. He will be acting as your guide and informant, and will be aiding you in the extermination of hollows during your mission. He's also the one that made the arrangements for the identification you all will be using during your stay at Yokai Academy. He is one Yukishirou Saito."
He then looked to Sui Feng and one of his eyes opened a fraction before he continued. "I am placing you in charge of this operation Sui Feng Taicho. You are to be in the World of the living by sun down tonight. As for you Kurosaki-Taicho," his one eyed gaze turned to focus on Ichigo next. "I have already informed your father of the details of this mission, and he has made the necessary arrangements with the help of our friend Yukishirou-Taicho." He closed his eye once more and turned his attention to the room at large.
"Sui Feng Taicho, I expect a weekly progress report from you outlining the details of your stay at the Academy. Unohana Taicho, would you please resuscitate Kuchiki Taicho so that we may adjourn?"
Unohana smiled gently and bowed her head. "Of course Yamamoto Sou-Taicho."
From there, it only took a few moments for Byakuya to awaken from his shock induced slumber, mumbling several apologies on behalf of his embarrassing conduct. And only a moment later, Yamamoto declared the meeting adjourned.
XxSCENExBREAKxX
It was sunset when the five Shinigami arrived at the massive building which was more immediately identified as the Headquarters for Japans Foreign Relations Bureau. The group of Shinigami were some of the few people in the world who knew this buildings dirty little secret. The exterior of the building was just a front. Inside, were several Barracks filled to the brim with soldiers of all kinds. An organization that greatly resembled the Gotei Thirteen in it's structure. With Ten Divisions each consisting of several hundreds of thousands of soldiers both human and non-human that either lived on site or in private dwellings in the Human World, while others occupied posts scattered all over the world.
The Human-Yokai Relations Bureau boasted several hundred branch locations all over the world. The biggest being located in New York City, Washington D.C, Ottowa Ontario, Edmonton and Calgary Alberta, Moscow, Dublin, Berlin, and finally Tokyo Japan. Since Japan had the largest concentration of Yokai Citizens, it was no wonder that Tokyo was the largest of the Human-Yokai Relations Bureau's many Branch Locations. Thus the reason why Tokyo was named the organizations main Branch.
Sui Feng was feeling mighty proud of herself. She had already read through the mission files, obtaining as much information on this organization as she could before her team even so much as set a single foot inside the oppressive building. They were prepared for anything; even though she was rather shocked that a Living Organization could grow to such a size and still remain hidden from the public at large.
It was a fact however, that most of the organization's soldiers were non-humans that masqueraded as humans during the day, only to reveal their true forms away from prying eyes; while the humans stuck to desk work for the most part. Upon entering the building, each of them wearing normal civilian attire, they were greeted by the rather... well endowed receptionist. The woman was practically bursting out of her blouse, while smiling demurely and waving them over. She took one look at the two males of the group and her smile instantly turned predatory.
Sui Feng scowled at the woman and slammed her hand down on the desk. This, not only managed to startle the woman, but also succeeded in gaining the woman's undivided attention. "We have an appointment with a Yukishirou Saito. We were instructed to meet him here this evening."
The woman looked awfully put out at having to actually do some work instead of ogle the two absolutely delicious looking young men in their party, but pressed a button on her personal intercom and sighed. "Yukishirou-sama, you have several guests in the lobby asking to see you. They say they were instructed to meet you here tonight."
There was silence for a moment before a cold, emotionless voice filtered through the speaker. "Send them in, they're already late." Every one of the shinigami had frozen in place when the voice they'd heard had almost quite literally chilled them to the bone. They had been given a very good idea as to just what kind of Yokai this Yuksihirou-sama happened to be.

Saito stood, gazing coolly out his office window that stretched from both sides of his office and from ceiling to floor. One of the only perks to being a big-shot was the unbeatable view of downtown Tokyo. His pale blue eyes keeping a silent vigil over the ever ignorant humans as they lived out their lives from day to day, never once questioning, never once truly seeing just what went on around them every day. It was, in a word, pitiful.
When the door to his expansive office opened, he turned his head ever so slightly so that he could take in the sight of his guests from his peripherals. He had to say, he was impressed.
The woman leading them was on the petite side, with black hair done short with two long braids wrapped in white cloth and tipped by a pair of large gold rings. She was dressed in loose fitting black slacks and traditional Chinese shoes; a tight fitting sleeveless and backless black shirt adorned her upper body revealing what would be severely hidden feminine curves had her top been any looser, and each of her arms sported a long black arm band covering from bicep to wrist. Her face was clearly oriental, distinctly Chinese with a somewhat impish feel. While her eyes were what really told about her personality. Sharp and set into a near permanent scowl lined by long, and thin eyebrows, they were a cool grey that resembled onyx.
He definitely did not want to get on her bad side, he concluded.
The next female was much the same. She held herself with the poise of a warrior, with all the grace of a noble. Short black hair styled in a bob cut fell to her shoulders, while a single strand of hair fell between her eyes and curved slightly over her nose. Her eyes were distinctly the colour of violet, and were hard and determined. She too seemed to possess a permanent scowl. She was wearing a simple yellow sun dress, and black sandals.
The third woman had him blinking in shock. If he didn't know any better he would think he was staring at an honest to goodness succubi. She was possessed of long and wavy strawberry blond hair, blue eyes, full lips, and a beauty mark located under the right side of her mouth. She was a woman with an extraordinarily curvaceous figure; her most distinctive feature being her very large breasts, probably the largest he'd ever seen. She was dressed in a much too tight sleeveless white blouse with the top five or so buttons undone revealing more cleavage than Saito had ever seen in his life. She was also wearing a thin golden necklace tucked between her cleavage and a long pink scarf over her shoulders; and much like her blouse, she was wearing a pair of much too short jean shorts, revealing a whole lot of smooth leg. Her feet being tucked into a pair of black knee high leather boots.
Giving himself a mental shake of the head to clear his thoughts, he turned his attention to the two men of the group. The first he had pegged for a young Snow Boy,he was definitely the shortest of the group by a full head, with cold turquoise eyes and short, spiked, white hair. He was wearing a black, short-sleeved, golf shirt and grey pants over a pair of white sneakers. Like two of the previous, he too was cursed with a permanent scowl.
Saito's eyebrows very nearly shot into his hairline when his eyes fell on the final member of their group. He looked like a normal teenage boy all things considered; the one exception to that was his orange hair that fell over his eyes, which was a shade of burnt orange that distinctly reminded Saito of a flame. He was a fairly tall, lean-built young man with peach skin and piercing brown eyes. This one also had a permanent scowl on his face.
'I can see why these people were sent together, most of them look like they're angry all the time while one of them is so damn bubbly it's making my face hurt.' Saito though to himself as he turned to regard his visitors fully.
Sui Feng was also thoroughly inspecting their new comrade. Much like Hitsugaya, his hair was pure white, and done up in fashionable spikes that leaned towards the back of his head so his hair wouldn't interfere with his sight in his two ice blue eyes. The only exception were two stubborn strands that refused to stay standing with the rest of his hair, and fell to frame his slim face, while a long, slim braid fell from the nape of his neck to just below his knees. 'Damn his hair is long.' He was barely two inches taller than Sui Feng was herself, but she could tell by looking he was like her in another regard as well.
Despite his size, he was quite lean, with a musculature that suited his small stature. This implied one thing. He was as dangerous as living beings came... well, except for a certain orange haired idiot. He covered his body with a tight black shirt and similarly coloured khakis over a pair of steel toed black combat boots. Then there was the very heavy looking black coat, reaching down to his ankles and made of a soft but heavy material; unsurprisingly, Sui Feng already knew the purpose behind his wearing such heavy clothing, and found herself thinking of a training exercise that utilized the weighting of ones' clothing to build muscle strength, stamina, and agility.
With a quick breath to prepare for his welcoming speech, Saito began. "Welcome, Shinigami of Soul Society. I am honoured to have been asked to meet you here and work with you during your stay at Yokai Academy. As you have most likely been informed, I am the Yokai-Human Relations Bureau's Nibantai-Taicho[8], Yukishirou Saito. I also happen to be a Snow Boy."
Sui Feng raised a brow, finding herself impressed with his ability to speak so clearly around whatever it was he had in his mouth. At first glance, it appeared to be a lollipop. She frowned. 'It would appear this young man has a sweet tooth, let us hope that he never meets a certain pink haired Fuku-Taicho.'
Little did she know, she was not the only one with the exact same thought.
Saito waited patiently as the petite woman in front of him took care of the introductions so that Saito could finally put the faces to the names he'd been given in the case file. He'd made several pieces of ID already, but the school identification wouldn't be taken care of until they actually arrived at the School. Which he was glad for, since he absolutely loathed paperwork. And forging Identification means lots of paperwork. He only just finished what he'd started a week ago.
He nodded to each person in turn as the newly named Sui Feng, or Shaolin Feng, introduced her team. When she was finished Saito nodded and walked around to the other side of his desk, his ankle length black overcoat whipping around him as he turned abruptly to face them. He placed his hands on his desk and focused his hard gaze on his temporary co-workers. "I have been informed already of the situation at the Academy, and what is to be my role during our stay." He pushed a large manilla envelope across his desk towards Sui Feng who took it immediately and pulled out it's contents. "Those are your personal I.D's, which you will need for any trips to the Human World while here. I was informed that Kurosaki-Taicho already has current Identification so I didn't bother doing anything that would only have been a waste of time. Most of us will be masquerading as students at the academy, while Sui Feng and Matsumoto will be acting as temporary teachers. Sui Feng will be the new fitness instructor, while Matsumoto will be helping a current Sensei by the name of Nekonome Shizune. Matsumoto, as the assistant home-room teacher for a group of High School students I have been instructed to ask you to at least try and act professional."
Matsumoto blushed while Ichigo and Rukia both snickered quietly; Toshirou however was fit to burst from the inside out. He had to restrain himself though since he had an image to uphold.
Sui Feng nodded after distributing the proper papers to those they were intended for and as her onyx coloured orbs bore into Saito's own cool blue, she decided on an attempt to try and get a glimpse at this man's character; but before long she decided intimidation wouldn't work on this man. Satisfied with his lack of reaction to her attempt at a stare down, she reached out with a hand.
Saito accepted the gesture and they shook hands. After a few moments he released her hand and nodded curtly. "I look forward to working with you all. Our ride will arrive to pick us up at six thirty tomorrow morning; your hotel has already been booked and they are awaiting your arrival across the street. Meet me here in my office tomorrow morning sometime before then so we can leave on schedule."
Sui Feng nodded and turned to the others. "You heard the man let's move, these damned gigai actually require sleep to function properly, so lets get to that hotel, double time people!"
Nodding their acknowledgement, the group turned to leave after bidding Saito a good night. Once the door closed behind them Saito sighed and sank into his chair. "This is definitely going to be the most interesting mission I have ever taken part in."
