Author's notes: Well this chapter took some thought, but at least it starts off explaining what ever happened to Toshiro, now this is worthy of being called a Yugioh/Bleach crossover.

Toshiro: I can't wait for your birthday.

FireWing Pegasus: Because you love me, and you can't wait to give me that birthday present?

Toshiro: ...That and it means that you will post chapter 4 of 'A Shadow Horse's Past' already, but I do love you.

FireWing Pegasus: You just saved yourself from some but whooping, do the disclaimer.

Toshiro: Hashira does not own Yugioh or Bleach, only her OC, she is just having fun to keep herself from getting bored. Enjoy the chapter.

The soul of Toshiro, thought to be forever lost, had taken on a new life. His soul became lost in a place between the realm of the living and the realm of the dead, where time was out of whack. After a while in that realm, which was actually near 5,000 years in the realm of the living, he was discovered by black kimono clad warriors, which he faintly recognized the weapons and kimonos due to him growing up in Japan. The kimono clad warriors checked him over and then brought him to the realm of the dead, which seemed nothing like the afterlife in his eyes. The young half shadow creature soon got a new family and discovered powers he could not explain as because of his time in the that realm he had forgotten everything in his past, the only thing he remembered, was his name. He was given a new last name, Hitsugaya, by someone he adopted as his grandmother, and his adopted younger sister by the name of Momo Hinamori. He soon became one of the kimono clad warriors who were called soul reapers. The other soul reapers soon found out that not only could he speak the native tongue of Japanese, but he could also speak Egyptian with ease, and yet, he didn't know why He aimed to become stronger, so that he may protect Momo. Little did he know that deep in his subconscious, there was another motive to gaining strength.

Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya, of the 10th squad in the Soul Society, was filling out paperwork for his drunk lieutenant, Rangiku Matsumoto, when something eerily familiar called out in the back of his mind, "To..shi..ro...help...me...pl...ease." Toshiro's head shot up, and saw the his lieutenant was still out cold, and he could sense no one else in the area. He focused on his zanpakuto sword, Hyourinmaru, the serpent like dragon made from ice who lives in his mind and his sword, and he asks, "Hyourinmaru, did you hear that voice right now?" The dragon spirit materializes in front of him and says, "Yes master, the voice was feminine and familiar and sounded as if it was in pain. How the voice knew your name, I don't know. Maybe it is a voice from your past, trying to communicate with you." Toshiro thinks for bit and says, "I don't know, but that is the least of my worries." Toshiro got up, walked toward Rangiku and said, "Matsumoto, wake up now." Rangiku woke up in a scream, causing Toshiro to be knocked towards the wall by her giant breasts. Rangiku got scolded by an annoyed Toshiro into doing her work while he went to his barracks for some sleep.

Dream Start: A young girl, about 14 years old, who looked similar to Toshiro, only with flame colored hair that falled down to mid back, with little bang over her left eye, a simple red skirt held to the waste by a red sash trimmed in gold, a black tunic trimmed in gold, gold arm and leg bands so close together you would think it's armor, gold antk earrings, and simple red sandals trimmed in black, raced across the bank of the Nile River, shouting in Egyptian, "Toshiro, you can't you keep up?" Toshiro ran up and appeared behind her, he got a good look at what he was wearing and saw a simple blue shendyt held to the waste by a blue sash trimmed in silver, a white tunic trimmed in silver, silver arm and leg bands so close you would think it's armor, silver antk earrings, and simple blue sandals trimmed in white. He got a good look of her face and saw the face of a beautiful tanned Egyptian girl with blood red ruby eyes. He calls out to her in Egyptian with his heavy Japanese accent, "Yeah yeah, Hashira. Race you back to the palace, Atemu is waiting." The girl nodded and Toshiro and they ran back to the Egyptian Palace in the city of Khemet as fast as they could. :End Dream

Toshiro jerked awake panting. 'What was that dream...Why did the voice of that girl sound just like the voice that spoke in my head earlier...Was Hashira her name...Why was I wearing a skirt?!' The thoughts plagued Toshiro until he fell asleep from exhaustion.

Meanwhile in a dark and horrifying realm, called the shadow realm, the young girl Toshiro saw in his dream, ran in the pure darkness. The shadows zipped passed her leaving a big bloody gash in her side, not to mention all the scars that littered her body after 5,000 years of grueling torture. She ran in the darkness some more, before she was struck down by what felt like a whip on fire with a knife on the end. She lay there, tears falling down as she attempted to reach out in front of her like the exit was near, and yet there was no exit in front of her, she was stuck in this realm being forever tortured. Nevertheless, she reached out in front of her and attempted to call out, "To...shi..ro...where...are...you...To...shi...ro. "

In the world of the living, in a small town called Domino, there lived a boy named Yugi Moto. He had many friends, along with a helpful spirit that lived in his Millennium Puzzle that was named Atemu. Atemu was once called Yami, but after he regained his memories of his past he goes by his old name of Atemu, pharaoh of Egypt. Yugi, though still hadn't gotten out of his habit of calling Atemu, Yami. He was in his grandpa's game shop getting ready for high school. Everyone picked on Yugi, because he looked like an elementary school student, and he had star shaped tri color hair, black base, amethyst edging, gold bangs, and big wide amethyst baby panda eyes. Atemu looked just like Yugi, only taller, more muscles, narrow crimson eyes, star shaped tri colored hair, black base, crimson edging, gold bangs, gold lightning bolt bangs shooting up his hair. No one had picked on Yugi since he solved the Millennium Puzzle and made his friends.

He ran to school and met up with his friends: Joey Wheeler and his boyfriend/Atemu's rival/owner of Kaiba Corporation, Seto Kaiba, Tristan Taylor and his boyfriend/inventor of Dungeon Dice Monsters, Duke Devlin, Ryou Bakura and his boyfriend/spirit of the Millennium Ring named Bakura, Malik Ishtar and his boyfriend/spirit of the Millennium Rod named Marik. Tea Gardner was once one of their friends, but then she proved to be a one of the girls who were just after Atemu. "Hey Yugi, I heard today there is going to be some school exchange sign ups happening today. They need students to volunteer houses for the new students." Ryou said as he rubbed the Millennium Ring. "There's enough room at Money Bag's mansion for a whole school." Joey said enthusiastically before Seto hit him on the head and they got into an argument, again.

Just like High Priest Seto and Lord Joey from 5,000 years ago, this Seto and this Joey, had a love/hate relationship, that only ended with Seto pulling his puppy into a makeout session. Everyone sighed and Yugi said, "That's cool Ryou, are you signing up for volunteering your house." Ryou sighed and shook his head. "No, and you know that reason as well as all of us." The reason that Ryou was speaking of, was Bakura's evil twin brother Akefia, the other spirit of the Millennium Ring. The Ring and Ryou's house are almost always a battle ground, it's why Ryou never invited his friends over, all he had was Bakura to take care of him, his mother and little sister died in a car crash, and his father hadn't been home in two years, he was one who gave Ryou the Ring and yet, after that he was never home, he was always on dig for he was an archeologist. Atemu manifests near by in his own separate body and walks over. "Don't worry, if that idiotic grave robber tries anything, I'll take care of it." He said in his firm authoritative deep baritone voice that would cause women to just melt, what with the deep voice, the muscles, the exotic hair, the tan, and the fact that his favorite choice of clothing is leather, like Yugi. Bakura and Marik manifest near by and walk over. "You forgetting us, our king." They snickered with wild grins. Atemu sighed, "Yugi, are you going to volunteer our house?" Yugi nodded, and the bell rang so Atemu, Bakura, and Marik returned to their respective Millennium items, and everyone walked to class.

In another city, near by to Domino, was Karakura high school, located in Karakura town. A tall high schooler with spiky orange hair, and an almost permanent scowl on his face, named Ichigo Kurosaki, was walking to school with a soul reaper noble girl, named Rukia Kuchiki. As they walked to school, they met up with their group of friends from the world of the living. You see, Ichigo Kurosaki is a substitute soul reaper, because he is half human, half soul reaper, and is one of the most powerful soul reapers. His friends from the world of the living, Orihime Inoue, a girl with spirit powers from her hair braids, Uryu Ishida, a quincy, a natural enemy of soul reapers, but he tolerates them to a point, and Yasutora Sado, who everyone calls Chad, he doesn't talk much and his spirit powers come from his arms. All of them have the ability to see spirits. In fact Karakura is a super spiritually enriched town because of all the spirits that live in the town, causing lots of humans to see spirits.

Orihime ran up to Ichigo and said, "Hey Ichigo, did you know that there's school exchange sign ups today?" Ichigo nodded, and said, "Yeah, I'm planning on doing it, because of how dad has been annoying me, and when I told Karin, she said that I should sign up and save myself." Chad nodded, "I'm going." Uryu nodded and said, "I want to see what kind of clubs they have there and it gives me the chance to escape my father too." Orihime said, "I heard that they have a beautification club at the school, Uryu." Uryu smirked and said, "I will make that school perfect. I heard that it's in a place called Domino city." Chad looked at Uryu and said, "One of my old friends went there once and is friends with the local celebrity." "What celebrity?" Ichigo asked densely. "Don't you know? It's the King of Games, Yugi Moto, himself. He even goes to school with the former duel monsters champion, Seto Kaiba, owner of Kaiba corp, and runner up in Duelist Kingdom Joey Wheeler, along with 8th place finalist of Battle city, the oh so lovable Ryou Bakura, and second place finalist of the same tournament, Malik Ishtar, and the inventor of Dungeon Dice Monsters, Duke Devlin. Domino high school is known by them." Orihime commented. Chad nodded, "My friend Valon, is one of their friends. He's a pretty good duelist. I'm going so I can meet his friends. In fact he says that he's going to take us personally." "I'll go to make sure that Ichigo, doesn't get into any trouble." Rukis said after listening to the whole conversation. "We're going to have a great time." Orihime said as they got to school.

Author's notes: Toshiro is being tortured with dreams, I am being cruelly tortured by shadows, Ryou is being sorta tortured by his dad not being there and with Akefia being there, and Ichigo is not really being tortured except by his dad acting a lot younger than me.

Toshiro: Why do you torture me so?

FireWing Pegasus: I actually got the idea that Valon and Chad knew each other when I was reading another Yugioh/Bleach crossover. I am just sad that there aren't that many Y/B crossovers, even though I did read some with Toshiro in them that made me want to do a fangirl squeal.

Toshiro: Please review while I try and calm down the author.
