Bleach: Hogwarts Arc
A/N: I'm so soooooorrrrrrryyyy it took so long to update! I've finished this chapter about a month ago, but I found that I always forgot to upload it!
Ah, I know this story is suckish—I think so too—and boring… So, I try to make it more fun, but, as expected, I failed… Anyway, let's not talk 'bout negative things, the Bleach crew are going to England in this chappie! I'll give more details in the next chapter about what are their activities there and stuff…
AllieOutOfWonderland: Yes! You're right… Know that you mention it; I think I've read stories like that… I guess that's why the super case stuff popped in to my brain… But I've imagined this thing from even before I know FFn though… And thanks for the review; it gives me stamina and happiness!
10th Squad 3rd Seat: I know, his character is just too complicated for a beginner like me—I think it's only me, though… But I'll try my best at the other details, I promise! Thanks for reviewing!
This is an AU, so you don't need to follow the story too much, except for the little details, which annoys me…
Summary: Ichigo, Renji, Rukia, and the others were sent to the wizarding world, to investigate the strangely increasing hollow activity there. "And what's this? A talking hat? Chocolate frog? Moving PAINTINGS! Death eaters! Maybe you're talking 'bout hollows!" Said 'em all… Their lives were gonna turned upside down!
Warning: AU, OOC, mild language, lil' bashing here and there.
Enjoy!
Chapter 3: Arrival
Ichigo walked down the empty dark street with just street lights that barely lit the street to his home. It seemed like he was the only one person there, he looked at his watch—his dad gave it to him—and shocked at the time. It was eleven PM! And he took off from his house at ten AM, which mean he either in Soul Society for more than ten hours or he had been with Kisuke for more than 5 hours… Time sure did fly…
Ichigo quickened up his pace while thinking over ways to tell his family about his departure to England for a mission he didn't even agree to begin with…
Well, guys, I just wanna say that I'm off to England for a suicide mission that I don't even understand! Bye now, I have to pack up my things! See ya tomorrow morning! Or we'll never meet again…!
… That's REDICULOUS! What should I do? What should I do? Well, maybe a bit lie could do… Nah, Karin's eyes are the sharpest things next to a knife, she can tell if I lie or not… Besides, the ol' man might already know about this and planning a' bye-bye Ichigo!' party for me… That damned old jerk! Telling the truth would be the best, I guess, but not something too over of course… Ichigo thought, deciding to tell the truth was better—a whole lot—than lying, because if he lie, what kind of lie would he tell? He was already having a migraine just thinking over those simple things, he couldn't push his brain too hard to come up with a good lie or two…
Ichigo opened the door and got in. He looked side to side to find no one was around. Maybe they're already sleeping… Then what the hell should I do damnit! Maybe I can wake them up… After all, we might not see each others for a real year! Ichigo stepped in further inside his house. He stepped out of his shoes and placed them in their appropriate space. He walked in to the living room.
Ichigo's eyes were wide, seeing the scenery in front of him. Karin and Yuzu were lying down on the couch, hugging each other, while his dad was sleeping on the floor, leaning to the couch armrest. They were waiting for Ichigo… He looked at the kitchen table to spot a wrapped up dinner for him. He stilled for a few moments and let out a small sigh and a soft smile. They wait this late for him… Somehow he felt so… loved. He knew his family loved him, no matter what it cost of loving him; the still always loved him without conditions. It was a family unconditioned love… He loved them too, as much as they loved him. He would do anything, anything at all, to make sure that all of them were safe and sound. He would even sacrifice himself to protect them, because they have sacrificed themselves to be his family, to be near the danger that was him.
Suddenly, Karin woke up. She rubbed the sleep off her eyes and woke the others too. Isshin was the last to wake up. He needed Karin's super kick to snap out of it.
"Ichigo! You're back! What took you?"
"Shut up, ol' man!" Ichigo snapped. He cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.
"The Soul Society wants me to go to a specific place of England." Ichigo announced. Karin and Yuzu blinked. Isshin was the first one to react.
"WHAT! England you say? Why!" Isshin demanded.
"Investigate hollows." Ichigo simply replied. He left the others gaping.
"No way. Absolutely NO!"
"Why not?"
"Because… Well, because you're underage to go there alone!"
"A few others will come too!"
"Still no! It's dangerous!"
"Dangerous!" Ichigo yelled. "Dangerous you say? I've been fighting hollows, I've been seriously injured that I might die, and going to England is DANGEROUS! Of course!"
Isshin's eyes glistening with/fake/tears. Ichigo's mouth twitched at that. That ol' man had known 'bout it and still HAD to act! Crazy old bastard…
"Ichii-nii… You… really going to England?" asked Karin. Ichigo looked at her and Yuzu and nodded, "Yeah…" he sighed out. He saw his sisters trembled and immediately thought they would cry soon.
Well, he thought wrong.
"Y-yesss! Oh my gosh! Finally! Go gogogogogo! Go on Ichii-nii, it's alright; I'm not sad or mad! It's great! Wooohoooo!" Karin shouted. She jumped and waved her hands in the in, obviously happy about the announcement. Why though, Ichigo still didn't know.
"Ichii-nii! Take care okay! And…" Yuzu trailed off. Ichigo raised an eye brow at that.
"Bought us some souvenirs alright! Ohhh, I would LOVE to go too, but I can't! Who will take care of these two?" she pointed at both Karin and Isshin who had their on moments right now. Ichigo's eyes twitched.
He sighed and smiled. Well, at least they agreed.

The next morning, Ichigo went to the Urahara's, his clothes were already packed last night by a fuzzy Yuzu with his dad 'lecturing' him how to act around the girls in London. Idiotic old bastard. Fortunately Karin didn't say anything unnecessary except for 'buy me an expensive soccer ball there! I'll kick your butt if you don't!'
After arriving at Kisuke's shop, he immediately ushered Ichigo to the 'basement', he already prepared a senkaimon to Soul Society there.
After a quick 'goodbye and take care', Ichigo went in to the Precipice World to Soul Society. He flash stepped to the main senkaimon there and saw his party—Rukia, Renji, Byakuya, Toushiro—already there, waiting for him. He also saw Mayuri tapping his foot on the ground impatiently while yelling and insulting Nemu for no good reason at all like usual.
"Kurosaki Ichigo! What do you think you are doing now? You are late by… five minutes! Were Shihouin Yoruichi and Urahara Kisuke not taught you about discipline?"
Ichigo sighed and let Mayuri's ranting went off for another ten minutes until Byakuya decided to cut it off, thank goodness…
"Kurotsuchi taicho. Will you not be the one that slowing us down with your impossibly long rants? If you agree with me, please, now say what you have to say, and let us begin our long-term mission as soon as possible."
Mayuri froze at the statements and looked at Byakuya with his impossibly wide creepy eyes went even wider than ever. Mayuri leaned his head closer to an unblinking Byakuya and they stayed like that for a couple of seconds without blinking.
"Alright, you won! Hmph, how humiliating… Anyway, since all of you have gathered here, I will now begin the last minute briefing. Simply put it, DON'T MAKE ANY TROUBLE AND… Bring back some samples for me whenever you report to Seireitei. Anything will do, preferably one of those fascinating wizard…" the others sweat dropped.
Finally, Mayuri let the party went to the senkaimon connected to London. They ran quickly inside the Precipice World, each one of them seemed to be excited to find out about those 'wizards' in their own way. After a while, they saw a tiny spot of light, indicating that they were near to the opening.
The white light burst, blinding the party for a moment. They shield their eyes.
When they finally opened them, they were surprised to see that they were in one of the alleyway in the busy afternoon street of London.

Finished! Sorry if this chapter sucks, I think it sucks for real… Well, we're just getting started! In the next chappie, the mission party will be introduced to the Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley! Also activating the 'wand' Mayuri gave them!
