Kingdom Hearts: Bleached
I don't own Bleach or Kingdom Hearts (but I claim this fanfic!)
This story takes place during Bleach and shortly after Kingdom Hearts 2
Lock: 011
(Karakura Town: Night)
As Rukia ran with the others into the group of enemies, she noticed Sora running at an insanely fast speed; it looked like even Ichigo was having trouble keeping up.
Within seconds there were at least ten heartless and three hollows killed.
"Whoa, Ichigo, Sora is a great fighter."
"Eh, he's nothing special." Ichigo replied as they entered the wave of enemies.
"Rukia used her Zanpakutō, Sode no Shirayuki to kill off some of the heartless. However, right as they entered the circle, extremely large heartless and some Menos Grande appeared all around them, trapping them in a circle with the other enemies.
"Watch out" Rukia heard and there was a clash behind her. Ichigo had stopped some heartless with swords for arms from attacking her.
"Thanks Ichigo" Rukia said as she returned to the battle.
"Stop getting distracted" he yelled.
Rukia turned to see Sora jump high in the air with several heartless and destroy them all before he touched the ground. "He is good" Rukia thought.
Rukia was rushed by a group of heartless; "Get back!" she yelled as she rapidly slashed at the enemies, taking out about five. One of them threw itself into her legs and as she was flipped into the air it came back and threw her into the ground.
"Ugh" she groaned as her Zanpakutō went flying out of her hands and slid to the edge of the bridge.
"Getsuga Tenshou!" she hear Ichigo yell. A Menos Grande, as well as the heartless around her were destroyed by a crescent shaped black spirit energy. "He must be using his bankai" Rukia thought.
Suddenly, three Menos Grande appeared around Rukia with charged ceros.
"RUKIA!" Ichigo was screaming from across the bridge, whilst holding back an attack from a darkside.
"Oh no" she thought, and they fired. "I'm dead" but nothing happened. Rukia didn't feel any pain and when she opened her eyes she saw Sora standing in front her. He was holding back an extremely large mixture of the blasts from the ceros, by holding his keyblade in front of them. The energy was falling around them, not getting by his defenses in the slightest.
A piece of the bridge was lifted up by the sheer force of the ceros and Rukia was thrown off of the bridge and landed on the hard, concrete sidewalk at the end of the hill below.
(Karakura Town: Night)
Sora saw the giant masked creatures looming over Rukia. The glow of the red energy from their faces illuminated the bridge.
"These things are extremely dangerous, that's for sure. And I think they're about to attack Rukia!"
Sora rushed in front of the blasts and yelled; "Reflect!"
He successfully blocked the blasts, but Rukia was somehow still thrown off the bridge.
"Rukia!" Sora yelled as he attempted to go see if she was alright, but more darkside and Grande's appeared in front of him.
"Ahh" he yelled as he was hit by a cero and slammed into a metal beam on the side of the bridge.
Sora looked over to see if he could get some help from Ichigo, but he was preoccupied with the rest of the heartless and a Menos Grande.
"Damn" Sora uttered. He struggled to his feet and picked up his keyblade. Next to it was Rukia's Zanpakutō, she had dropped it.
"This could work" he said as he picked up her weapon and held it in his left hand. Both blades had the same length reaching about one meter out.
"Okay, let's do this!" he yelled and shot toward the two Grandes and the darkside. The Menos shot two blasts at him but he changed the position of his body in the air. Being horizontal with the blasts, he narrowly dodged further injury.
Sora came to the middle of the hollows and slashed both blades to either side of him. He turned to see the monsters disappear. While he was still in the air, he threw Rukia's Zanpakutō at the darkside and once it made contact with the heartless' face it disappeared. Rukia's blade fell into the middle of the bridge, it's hilt sticking vertically into the sky.
Sora looked over to see Ichigo finish off the last heartless. Sora ran to him and asked; "You alright?"
"Yea" an out of breath Ichigo replied. "You?" he asked.
"I'm good, let's go help Rukia!" he exclaimed, they both jumped off the bridge to find Rukia. She was sitting up holding her head:
"Rukia" Ichigo said quietly.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm okay; a little woozy and my head hurts. As does my arm, where is my Zanpakutō?"
"Oh" Sora replied as he quickly fetched Rukia's weapon; "Here, I borrowed it for a minute, I hope you don't mind. Now about your injuries…"
There was a moment of silence and Sora pointed his keyblade at Rukia and said "Heal." A green light emanated from the tip of his blade and shined over Rukia.
"There, how's that?" Sora asked.
Rukia got to her feet and smiled at him; "Thanks" she said "Much better."
"Good" Ichigo replied. "Let's head back to my house."
They made their way towards the spot where Ichigo and Rukia had left their bodies. Ichigo quickly bumped the hilt of his sword into the other Ichigo's head before he could even say something. The marble shaped object popped out of his mouth and Ichigo pretty much climbed back into his body.
"Like I said before, that is weird."
As they walked home in the pitch black Sora said; "This isn't good."
"What isn't good?" asked Rukia.
"The fact that the hollows and heartless are working together, it just makes them a tougher force to be reckoned with."
"Yea I wonder why they're working together in the first place. Hollows usually don't even work together let alone with different beings." Ichigo stated
"Yea, it must be Maleficent's doing" Sora replied.
"So, where do you think this Maleficent?" asked Rukia
Sora looked at Rukia and replied; "Oh that's impossible to figure out, I don't think we'd ever find her, even if we searched for years."
Ichigo and Rukia gazed at Ichigo with great surprise. They stopped in the middle of the street and looked at him.
"What do you mean we'll never find her? If we don't find her the world will be plunged into darkness!"
"Ha-ha, guys don't worry. I said we'd never find her if we searched, not that we would never truly find her."
"That sounds extremely stupid Sora" said Ichigo.
"Hey that's not nice! What I mean is that in time Maleficent will show herself to us if we foil some of her plans. That's what usually happens anyway."
"So what are her plans?" asked Rukia.
"Well" Sora said touching his pointer finger to his chin and gazing up at the bright full moon; "I don't know."
Another confused and disappointed look from Ichigo and Rukia.
"But, we can assume that anything with the heartless falls under that category, so all we gotta do is keep slaying some heartless and eventually she'll present herself to us!"
"Sounds like a plan." Ichigo said; "A bad plan, but a plan."
"Thanks, I guess" Sora said.
"And here we are" said Rukia as they walked up to Ichigo's house that also doubled as a clinic.
Sora took notice of the houses observable features; it was small, beige in color with a green roof, and some nice shrubbery that had been dying due to the cold fall air.
They entered the house and walked up the stairs, Sora saw a kitchen adjacent to a living area in front of him and hallways that most likely led to the other rooms on his left.
"Wow 3 o'clock" Rukia said "It sure is early in the morning."
"Yea, I think we should take off of school in the morning, I really don't feel like getting two hours of sleep tonight."
"Ichigo, you sure your parents won't mind me being over so late?" Sora asked.
Rukia shot Sora a warning glance from across the room.
"My Dad won't mind, my mom is dead." Ichigo said this with a tone of emptiness.
"S-sorry" Sora said feeling really bad about what he just said.
Ichigo stood with his back turned for a few seconds that felt like hours to Sora. Finally he said; "Don't worry about it; there's no way you could've known."
"Anyway" Ichigo continued. "Let's eat."
He opened the fridge and peered inside.
"Just like I said, Yuzu made dinner. Hey Sora, do you like Ramen?"
"Sure do!" Sora exclaimed.
They all sat down around the table and ate to their heart's content; Sora had about 3 full bowls of the delicious noodles, Rukia eating the second largest amount at two and a half.
They all sat at the table, a dimly lit lamp shinnying in the corner of the room.
"So" Sora broke the silence. "I guess I should get going."
"Go where?" Rukia and Ichigo asked.
"Well it's pretty late; you guys probably want to go to bed right?"
He got up from the table but Rukia rose as well, placing her hand on his shoulder she thrust him back into his seat, and walked out of the room.
Sora looked at Ichigo, "Umm, this is getting weird."
"Sora, you can stay here" Ichigo stated.
"I can?" Sora replied.
"Sure, there are no spare rooms, but you can crash on my couch if you want."
"Wow thanks a lot Ichigo." Sora said.
"Yea, usually I wouldn't let a stranger stay at my house if I had anything to say about it, but, seeing as you saved both of our lives today I can make an exception."
"Finished" Sora heard Rukia say in the living room behind him, she had taken it upon herself to set up blankets and a pillow on the couch.
"Wow thanks Rukia."
After a few more minutes of conversing, the three said their goodnights and Ichigo and Rukia went to bed.
Sora laid in his bed thinking about the events that occurred the morning before, mostly, he thought of his friends and how they were doing.
Was Kairi having fun in radiant garden? Did she get better at using her keyblade for physical attacks? Was she thinking about him, like he was her? And most importantly, was King Mickey alright?
While thinking these thoughts, Sora drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
Wow! Not a bad chapter if I do say so myself! I'm sorry I waited so long to update but I had to get my computer repaired because I broke it! By the way, how many people are reading this thing I've gotten almost 3,000 hits but only 12 reviews, whoa! I'd really like at least two more reviews for the next few chapters I release, that isn't a big deal right? Tell me what you thought and I'll have another chapter out tonight or tomorrow.
