A/N: Hey everyone! Look it's my first Crossover. This is for my fellow otakus out there that read my story Hermione's Boggart. This idea came to me yesterday and It was a bit of struggle at first but it came out a lot better than I thought it would. Now two things this is my FIRST crossover and also my first Bleach fic. Now that means I'm going to mess up and I'm looking for a Beta that knows both of the fandoms. So I am hearby apologizing for any horrible grammar or mistakes that I have made. I even went so far as to do a small bit of research of Japan so I could get some of the cultural things right. Now I'm thinking some of these people might by OOC but it's my first time writing anyone from bleach into a story so you'll have to forgive me. Now this is going to start at the arrancar arc and move on from there.. (I'm only on the swing part where the vizards decided to join in I haven't read any of their battle so yeah.. I'll read it soon though!) Anyway read away and I hope you enjoy. And if your some of my readers who aren't familiar with the Bleach Manga or Anime just drop me a message and I'll explain things as best I can so you can enjoy this to the fullest… or you could always go and read/watch it…. Trust me it's worth it.:P UPDATES WILL BE SLIGHTLY SPORADIC UNTIL I CAN WORK OUT A SCHEDULE!

CHAPTER 1

Hermione Granger was never one to lose patience over something as trivial as waiting for someone to show up. She was used to waiting on Harry and Ron, but this time the waiting was trying her patience to a new extreme. She had arrived in japan almost seven hours she had spent three hours waiting before she had decided to use magical means to get herself inside. She'd taken her bags and dropped them onto the floor of the shop before moving deeper into the building and finding the kitchen. She'd set about making the tea she had brought from England as a gift for her uncle. She dug in the pantry and fridge in order to find something to cook for dinner. She had decided on a simple meal of fried rice and pork. It was a quick and simple meal to prepare, she would never boast her culinary skills as anything other than average.

Once everything had been prepared she started to set the small table with food. She had to dig to find enough sets of chopsticks. She smiled lightly and sat down to wait again, she didn't think she'd have much longer to wait. Her uncle seemed to have a built in radar for these kinds of things.

"Hellloo." She smirked as she heard the front door open not even five minutes after she had sat down. "Hermione-chan is that you?"

"In here uncle!" She called and began to pour out measures of the tea into each cup. She had been taught japenese at a very young age along with some traditions and culture. It had all interested her but she lost many of those facts after she had entered Hogwarts, trying to learn the wizarding culture. She had honestly thought that she would never come back to Japan, but things had changed and she needed what she had left of her family. Her uncle Kisuke Uruhara had been an almost constant when she was a child, visiting her in England during her holidays. She had even traveled to Japan a handful of times to see him. Though Kisuke wasn't anything blood related, her parents had been very close to him and it shamed her to have to tell him what happened. She didn't want him to feel disappointed in her.

Kisuke walked through the door and Hermione immediately stood and bowed. "None of that my dear, come give me a hug!" Hermione smiled and rushed forward and wrapped her arms around her uncle. She breathed in the sent that surrounded him, it was so familiar and comforting. "You have grown so much since I last saw you. Though you are looking a bit thin. Didn't your parents feed you?"

Hermione frowned and pulled away, "Actually I need to speak with you about that. But first I made dinner and I even brought some of my favorite tea from England. Please sit down and eat."

She moved away from her uncle and followed him to the table. She immediately began to pour him a cup of tea. He smiled up at her and thanking her for the tea and food. She heard a noise from the door and turned to see Tessai standing there with two children and two boys around her age. She smiled and bowed to them in greeting. "Permission to hug Tessai-san?" She asked and yelped when the large man drew her into a tight hug.

"Hermione-chan it has been far to long. Sorry we kept you waiting." Tessai put her down on her feet and made his way to the table followed by the four other people. They were all looking at her weirdly and she couldn't help but blush in embarrassment.

"Now now everyone no more staring at my niece. Come have something to eat." Kisuke's voice was light but she heard the underlying demand and everyone averted their eyes. "Now what did you want to discuss about your parents?" Kisuke asked her as she took a seat in between the two boys.

Hermione's eye's shifted around the room and before turning back to her uncle. "Actually that's sort of private, also I'm technically not even suppose to tell you so the less people that know the better."

Kisuke eyes seemed to be appraising her and he finally nodded. "Alright you can tell Tessai and I later. Now I probably introduce you to everyone." He gestured to each person in turn "This is Kurosaki Ichigo, Abarai Renji, And these two are Ururu and Jinta, they help around the shop and live here with us. Everyone this is my niece Granger Hermione."

"Pleasure to meet you all." Hermione murmured and began to help herself to the rice she had prepared. The sentiments were echoed by everyone else and they began to tuck in to the food. She ate quietly as her uncle teased the kurosaki boy. She smiled lightly but it turned to a frown as she saw one of the boys reach for the tea. "Oh! Excuse me!" She grabbed the tea pot and poured everyone a cup of tea while refilling her Uncles. "I should have known better. I apologize."

"You don't have to worry about it. I could have gotten it myself." Kurosaki said and she only nodded her head.

"I know that but you're guests in the home of my uncle. So that means we should be serving you." Hermione said and smiled at the boy. She'd never been in a room with so much of that strange energy. The kurosaki boy's energy seemed to drown the rest of it out. It was amazing and dark, she wasn't scared though, she had felt things that were far more evil than that energy that twined within that boy.

"Where are you from Granger-san?" Abarai asked, breaking the staring contest that she was holding with Kurosaki.

"What was that Abarai-san?" She asked as she deftly flipped her chopsticks and picked up a piece of the pork she had prepared.

"I asked where you come from." Abarai said again.

"Oh well, I'm from England actually." She smiled at the boy and leaned forward. "But Uncle Kisuke always said I belonged in Japan. He said I picked up the language and culture with an ease he had never seen before. I've forgotten some things since I haven't studied up on anything dealing with japan in awhile so you'll have to forgive me if I make a mistake."

Abarai nodded at her and she smiled brightly. "Thank you." She said and rejoined the conversation at the table. She didn't know who these boys were to her uncle but they seemed nice enough. She was excited to show Tessai some of the things she learned at Hogwarts. He'd love to use some of the techniques to improve his 'remedies'. She'd never been subjected to them but she knew well enough that they were fouler than most potions she could think of.

"Uncle, may I be excused so I can go unpack?" She asked while placing her chopsticks across her bowl.

"Of course Hermione-chan. Thank you for the meal, it was quite good. It seems your cooking as improved." Hermione poked her tongue out at her uncle. It was good to be away from England, the darkness that had loomed there didn't seem to effect her here. She felt lighter, as if she could breath clearly. The warm energies that pulsed around her were comforting. She moved away from the table and bowed slightly before leaning over to place a kiss to her uncle's cheek. "Could someone help me with my bags?" She asked quietly and the two boys immediately stood. "Thanks." She muttered and led them over to her bags, a quick flick of her hand negated the weightless charms she placed on them and she reached for the bag that held her clothes before walking off to the room she knew would be hers. She chuckled as she heard both boys grunt as they lifted her bags.

"What is in these things?" Kurosaki growled as he moved forward.

"Just seven years worth of textbooks, 20 novels and a few other reference books. Why do you ask?" Hermione said as she slid open the door to her room. She turned to smirk at the stunned looks that had made their way onto their faces. She chuckled and moved into her room. "Sorry I should have warned you, I tend to be a bit of bookworm and I like to brush up and study whenever I get the chance. It's actually a lot of fun if you move pass the fact that it can isolate you in a library for hours Just put those bags there and if you could please bring the other bag. That one's quite heavy too and it has breakable things in it so I would really appreciate it you could both bring it here. I can tell you're both quite strong but it's better safe than sorry." She turned and gave them a bright grin, motioning them back towards the door. Both boys sighed and moved out of the room. It was amazing what you could get a pair of chivalrous boys to do. She heard the curses as they lifted her bag that she had filled with her potion supplies and chuckled. It really was quite heavy. She already had her clothes put away before they came back and she smiled her thanks.

"Thank you so much." Hermione said "I'll have to find a way to pay you both back."

"What on earth is in this thing? And how did you manage to get it onto a plane?" Kurosaki asked and she laughed.

"I have my ways Kurosaki-san. No if you boys will both excuse me I have to get this stuff put away." The boys left and she flicked her wand and her books flew to the shelf. As she went to use her wand to put away her things she was stunned as her door was shoved open and Kurosaki and her Uncle standing there. They watched as her potions things flew to the shelves and settled themselves. She stood stunned for a moment before she quickly moved forward. "Uncle you know better, you should have knocked!" She exclaimed and shoved them both out the door. It wasn't till after she had shut it again that she realized they had both been wielding swords and Kurosaki's clothes had changed. She shook her hand and finished setting up her new room by setting out to he futon. She then made her way back to the main room and began to clear away the used cups and dishes. She brought them to small kitchen and set them about washing themselves. Once again her uncle was standing in the doorway, looking at her in a new way. "Oh Uncle, how did you like the tea I brought for you?"

"It was very good Hermione. It was a little bit more bitter than I'm used to but still very nice. Now I believe we need to discuss a few things in the other room." He moved to the side and gestured for her to move out the door.

She moved passed him, her head down and he stopped her. "Hermione, I'm not upset with you. I just want to understand, besides you aren't the only one with secrets." He squeezed her shoulder and followed her to the other room. They sat at the table and she turned to Tessai. "Tessai-san, do you remember that tea you used to make for me when I was little?" He nodded his head and smiled at her softly before standing and making his way to the kitchen. She smiled softly and turned back to her uncle. "What would you like to know uncle?"

"How can you do the different tricks that I've seen you do?" He asked as he pulled out his fan and leaned forward. She knew that trick, he did that when he was trying to hide his reaction. Her uncle's eyes rarely showed emotion but his mouth was expressive. He could never fight the smirks or smiles when something happened. She smiled and began to talk.

"It all started when I turned eleven." She began her tale of Hogwarts and her friends there. The different subjects that she learned. The whole time they were quiet and Hermione made no mention of the war or the perils she faced in the Hogwarts halls. Kurosaki may have seen her but she wasn't about to divulge anything personal in front of him. She barely knew him. No she would wait for that until she could talk to Kisuke and Tessai alone. Her story was interrupted by Tessai handing her a cup of tea. She took a sip and sighed happily. She finished her story and waited for her uncle to talk.

"Why haven't I felt you use this gift before?" Kisuke asked.

"That would be because I wasn't allowed to use magic outside of school until I turned of age. That means I turned seventeen. I'm eighteen now so I can use it whenever I please. But I still have a year of school to finish. Which is why I was hoping you could manage a way for me to get into the high school this year. I need to finish my schooling and due to circumstances my school in England is shut down for the year. "

Kisuke nodded his head and moved the fan away from his face. He smiled at her and she felt warm at the acceptance she found. Kurosaki and the others were still quiet and she looked to Tessai, he smiled at her too. Just a slight quirk to his mouth and she breathed in relief. She had only wanted them to understand and it appeared that they did.

"You mentioned that you had your own secrets too?" Hermione inquired and she took another sip of the tea in front of her.

Kisuke smiled and launched into his tale of hallows and the soul society. Hermione had spent her maturity around magic so none of this was hard to believe, especially when they showed how Kurosaki and Abarai could leave their bodies. She was stunned though to know that most of the group had actually been dead for at least a hundred years.

"Does that mean that the dead are still around? That I could see them?" She asked a note of desperation in her voice.

Kisuke shook his head. "Not exactly, they're all probably in the soul society but you have to remember that it's another world. Even if you'd be allowed inside the soul society you probably would never find them."

She nodded her head and sighed sadly. She would eventually try to find them but she could be patient and wait to see if she could get permission. "I still have more to tell you uncle, but that may have to wait until tomorrow. It's all rather personal and I don't feel like I can share it with the others yet."

Kisuke nodded and she smiled her thanks. "Tessai-san will you be there too?" He nodded and she began to pour out measures of the tea after she had warmed it with a spell. Kurosaki and Abarai looked at their cups, their faces were rather frightened and she could help but laugh. "Don't worry boys, it's only tea, but I can tell you've had some of Tessai-san's famous remedies." Both boys nodded and carefully took a sip of the tea, the surprise of their faces made her smile and she laughed lightly. Being here would be good for her, she could tell.

"There are many others that you have to meet to Hermione-chan. I'm sure I can bring them here tomorrow, now why don't you go and rest. You've had a really long day."

Hermione nodded and stood. She bowed to the others and placed kisses on Kisuke and Tessai's cheeks, laughing lightly when the bigger man blushed. She thanked Abarai and Kurosaki again before tell Jinta and Ururu to wake her when they began to open the shop so she could help. She moved off to her room and laid down on her futon and let herself drift off to the nightmares she knew would come.

IKIKIKIKIKIKIK

Ichigo made his way home to his father's clinic. He wasn't entirely sure how this Granger girl knew Kisuke but they seemed rather close. He'd never seen anyone shower Tessai and Kisuke with affection the way she did. Her power was incredible, he could barely feel it until she used a spell as she called it. Then it seemed to flux and pulse outward. When he had felt it that first time he'd been stunned and thought that someone was attacking her. He was shocked when Kisuke had shot up and ran down the hall in head of him. He had only ever seen Kisuke when he was cold and distant and he most certainly had never seen either man embrace someone so casually. At first he thought she was a modsoul that Kisuke had created, the power around her was weak but their was power and he had been wary. But a few moments in her presence had convinced him otherwise. He was almost thankful for her arrival. If she could fight she would be an assest in the war ahead, she could help him save his friends from these Arrancars that had been popping up everywhere. He just hoped that everyone else took as well to her as he and Renji had.

KUKUKUKUKUKUKUKU

Kisuke stood outside of his nieces room. Yoruichi had been his last blood relative but Hermione was something special. He had meant her parents when he had went to England for a few years. He had known enough English to get by and he'd met them when he had been wondering around London taking in the sites. The memory was still fresh in his mind.

He had been wondering around London and stumbled on Hyde Park. He and Tessai had decided to take a break and sit at a park bench. They had sat there for only a few short minutes before he had spotted a little girl wandering around on her own. She was small and her hair seemed to swallow her whole. She reminded him of the little porcelain dolls he had spotted in the windows of a few of the shops that he had seen. She looked so helpless standing there and looking around. He looked over at Tessai and noticed that he was watching the girl too. He made his decision and stood. He made his way to the girl and knelt down in front of her.

"Hello little girl." He said keeping his voice as soft as possible. "Are you lost? Where are your parents?"

She looked up at him and he was stunned by the intelligence in her eyes. "Yeah. I wandered off after a group of ducks and lost sight of them. I don't normally wander off so they probably thought I was still there. I'm sure they'll be coming soon. Now I'm not suppose to be talking to strangers so I'd like it if you'd left me be now."

Kisuke stared at her for a few minutes before he began to chuckle. "Well I'm Kisuke Urahara." He said holding out his hand. The little girl stared at it for only a few moments before she took his hand in her own.

'I'm Granger Hermione.' She said quietly and he was stunned to hear her speak in Japanese.

"You know Japanese Hermione?" He asked.

"Only a little. My dad's part Japanese. I've only just started learning." He smiled down at the girl and pointed off toward Tessai.

"That's my friend Tessai. Would you like to come and wait? Or we could search for your parents." He said and smiled as the little girl finally gripped his hand.

"Let's go look for them ." She said softly. She seemed to have a glint in her, like she knew something he didn't and it made him curious. He motioned for Tessai to come over and was pleased when the little girl didn't shrink away from the large man. She merely reached up for his hand and they began to search for her missing parents.

They finally found them at a fountain. Hermione had rushed forward calling for her parents and her couldn't help but smile as they were reunited. Soon he was being introduced to Hermione's parents and he stood there as she regaled them with the story of how he had helped her. Her parents had immediately invited both men over for dinner. They left the park together and when they arrived at the Granger's home he couldn't help but think that the little girl had been raised in privilege. Her house was large and the lawn was immaculate. They had sat at the dinner table and discussed their work. They seemed fascinated by his shop and what he sold. Hermione's father had been be enthusiastic telling him some of the recipes that his grandmother had shared with him when he was a child. Apparently he was half Japanese and Hermione was only a quarter. He had been raised in Japan and moved to England to attend a university there. The night had wore on and he and Tessai had returned many times in the few weeks that they were staying in England.

They promised to come again and visit and soon he was visiting whenever he got the chance. He had also begun to teach Hermione more of the Japanese language and culture, determined that she would come visit him one day. She had come to, many times while she was growing up, most of the time her parents had come with her but he was pleased that she had come to see him again. She was troubled and unsure, he could feel the negative emotions pouring off of her in waves. He decided that they would talk tomorrow after they opened up the shop and had breakfast. Maybe he could convince Hermione to make him a western breakfast. He had missed them and didn't know anyone who could cook them right.

****REVIEW! AND IF YOU HAVE ANY TIPS LET ME KNOW!***

(also I know Kisuke dropped the honorific but that was because they were alone and when yo've known someone for that long it doesn't tend to matter anymore. But he sticks to the polite usage in public.)
