Calling of Fate

Its a beautiful day. Shunsui thought as he lay sprawled on the lush grass of his lovers gardens. Nestled under a shaded tree with his lover sitting beside him. From the sound of turning pages he knew Jushiro was reading a book. What kind he didn't know nor did he really care. It was soothing in its sound and could easily lull him into a light doze.

"You have been quieter than usual Shunsui." Jushiro stated as he turned another page, knowing by now to let his lover speak when he feels the need to. Shunsui was easy for him to read even without looking at him. His lover may lazy at times and had to be coaxed into doing his own paperwork. But outside of that, there were many pieces to the puzzle that was Shunsui Kyoraku. And only he got to see them all.

Shunsui lifted his hat just enough to peek out and over at his reading lover. "You know me so well Ju." He shifted his hat back until it was beneath his head. "Lately there has been something tugging at my gut. I can't put my finger on what that something is." His eyes focused on the clouds that were floating lazily in the sky.

Jushiro lowered his book until it was in his lap as he looked down at his lover. "Could it be about the upcoming war with Aizen?" It has only been a week since the defection and so far everyone was healing. But the morale of the Seireitei had been badly shaken by the defection of three Captains. The lieutenants of those three were under heavy pressure by their own individual divisions.

"No, its not that. Aizen is a cunning man but the upcoming war isn't what is causing this unease inside me. Whatever it is I don't like it already." Shunsui looked at his lover as he laced his fingers together over his stomach. "It feels as if I am about to be thrown into something against my will." His lips turned down into a frown as he tried to work out what it was that kept tugging at him.

Jushiro snapped his book closed and shut his eyes in thought. His gut feelings are never wrong. So what could it be that is causing him such unease? One thing he didn't like was when his lover became so uneasy over anything. "You know that you won't be alone in whatever happens." He looked at his lover and tilted his head as he set his book aside.

Shunsui sat up and crossed his legs as he returned his gaze back up at the clouds. "I know handsome, I just wish I knew what this was." He leaned back on his hands and closed his eyes. Despite his uneasiness he was still able to enjoy the peace.

Jushiro went to say something only to be interrupted by a chime. "Now what?" He mused out loud as he held up a finger for the Hell Butterfly to land on. He watched as the purple black wings flutter before sighed. His eyes shifted to his lover who had been watching him closely. When the insect had faded away he grabbed his book. "We are being summoned by master Genryusai."

"Huh...I wonder what Old Man Yama wants with us." Shunsui stood up then picked his hat up and placed it back on his head. He then held out a hand for his lover to help him up off the ground. "Well lets go see what the old man wants."

Jushiro slid his free hand in his lovers offered hand. A soft smile tugging at his lips as he felt the familiar warmth. He wouldn't mind spending the day basking in that one singular warmth. But duty calls and they must answer no matter how much he didn't want to. It was rare when Jushiro Ukitake wanted to be lazy like his lover. But just touching his hand reminded him of more cherished times together. Of just what those hands could do to him alone. "Yes lets go see master Genryusai."

Once they were both up and ready, Shunsui laced their fingers together. Everyone knew about their relationship, they weren't exactly subtle about it. Well they were sometimes but as they were a few of the oldest members of the Gotei 13. They had earned the right not to hide their relationship. They at the very least knew when to put work before anything else.

It didn't take them long to reach the Head Captains office. And they didn't need to wait to be called in. Since they were there on his orders then they needed no invitation to enter.

"We are here as ordered old man yama. What is it that you needed of us?" Shunsui had yet to let go of his lovers hand. So it was his free hand that raised the rim of his hat to look at the man who practically raised him. He looked to Genryusai as a father figure and knew the man saw him as his son. The same with Jushiro as well and it warmed his heart to see that fire returned to the old man. Ichigo Kurosaki sure knew how to make an impression on someone.

Genryusai looked over at the two who were like sons to him. It warmed his heart to see them as they are. He had practically raised Shunsui but he had personally trained both of them. They were his first students and had grown to become like family to him. But now one of his sons is about to face a past he knew nothing about. How can he when he had been too young to even remember the night he died. "You are aware of the magical world are you not Shunsui Kyoraku, Jushiro Ukitake?" He knew that they were aware of that world.

Jushiro pulled his hand free of his lovers and briefly looked at his lover. "We are master Genryusai, but what does that have to do with us being called here?" He looked at his lover again before focusing on their Head Captain.

Shunsui lowered the rim of his hat to shield his eyes as he looked away from the old man. He had a feeling that this had to do with whatever was making him uneasy as of late. "Its about me isn't it old man yama." He didn't ask, merely state what he felt was a fact. There could be no other explanation as to why it was them being called here and bringing up the magical world.

"You were too young to actually remember it but this isn't your first life. You were born then as young Harry Potter but you died a year after you were born. As had your own parents and thats all due to you being born under a prophecy. That placed a target on your back from the moment of your birth. We, the Soul King and I, thought that after your soul had been sent to be reborn in the past. That you no longer were tied to that prophecy. It seems we were wrong and its been confirmed that the prophecy was still tied to you." Genryusai looked at Shunsui and then over at Jushiro. "It is still active Captain Kyoraku."

Jushiro frowned as he half turned towards his lover. A hand on his chest and rubbed it soothingly. "What does all this mean master Genryusai?" He looked up at his lover for a moment before returning his attention to their Head Captain.

Shunsui wrapped an arm around Jushiro and held him close. Tipping the rim of his hat back up he looked at Genryusai. Taking comfort from his lovers touch. "It means Jushiro that I am to face this past and see the prophecy through. Ain't that right old man yama?" He didn't want to but if its still active then even he can't ignore it. Either he faces it head on or it finds him and forces him to face it.

Genryusai turned to them fully and looked upon Shunsui sadly. "That is correct. I am issuing an order for you both. You are to meet with my old friend Albus Dumbledore, who has been alerted to who you once were. There you are to handle the prophecy but you are still expected to do your paperwork. And to report to me once a week on the progress of your mission." He tapped his can on the floor and softened his eyes on the pair. "You needn't worry about the war just yet my sons. Focus on that prophecy Shunsui, Jushiro and then come home."

Jushiro leaned into his lover for a moment before he pulled away. "Of course master Genryusai. Come Shunsui lets go and get ready to head out." He knew where they had to go, every captain had to when they were told about the magical world. They had to know who each Headmaster was of each magical school.

"We will handle everything old man yama. Don't worry." Shunsui looked down at his lover and smiled softly. Glad that the old man was letting his lover go with him. "Yeah lets go Jushiro." He tipped his head towards his Head Captain and turned on his heel. His hand grabbing Jushiro's as he did so and leading him out of the room. Nanao is going to be under more pressure with me being gone. He just hoped she wouldn't try and beat him with her book.

Ryoma Sasakibe here, this is my first story and its an AU Bleach/Harry Potter Crossover. Yaoi due to the pairing being Shunsui Kyoraku/Jushiro Ukitake. Shunsui is Harry Potter and this takes place within Order of the Phoenix. The war with Aizen is on pause, and there will be Eventual Mpreg for the pair.

I am going to try and keep them in character but I make no promises in that endeavor. Jushiro still has his illness but while with the Order, he will slowly be cured of it. But here is the first chapter, it may seem a bit rushed but I hope to give you all more with each chapter given.
