Kuchiki Rukia awoke to bright sunlight shining through the living room window where she lay on her stomach. Chappy the rabbit was sitting nearby staring at his owner who then sat up blinking. Of course Rukia remembered such a harsh and horrible storm that occurred the night before yet now the worst past and was behind her. So Rukia stood up picking Chappy into her arms.

"Well I guess the storm is over Chappy. How about we get something to eat?" Chappy just stared at the short girl twitching his nose slightly.

Rukia then walked avoiding the fallen furniture in the living room towards the kitchen to prepare a meal for herself and Chappy. She set down the rabbit on the counter to check the pantries for any simple things for food when a glance to outside the window caused her jaw to drop.

Outside of her house, instead of the regular plain grounds of the Kuchiki Manor was in it's place large colorful flowers reaching incredible heights into the air amongst other brightly colored plants and bushes. To Rukia it looked like if she was in some sort of a dream land.

Realizing that something was off Rukia quickly kicked on a pair of slippers and rushed to the door opening it and took a look outside. She was met with the clear view of all the plans and stocks of strange vegetables surrounding her home. What Rukia also noticed was amongst a d around the plants were miniature houses that looked like they could only fit children within.

Before taking another step further onto the ground Rukia heard a low shrill shriek and jumped startled. Her eyes then spotted two feet sticking out from beneath where her home was sitting.

"...where did this giant house come from?" said the person beneath the building. Rukia screeched realizing whoever was below was still alive and scampered to the pair of feet grabbing both to pull whoever out.

"Don't worry! I will save you!" Rukia assured the person. But Rukia though a brave young girl, was not strong enough to pull whoever was beneath out of from her large house. Rukia huffed and puffed with all her might as her slippers became dirty being pushed onto the ground as she pulled the person's feet.

But this only resulted in Rukia pulling off the person's silver shoes and flying backwards rolling into the ground several times and stopping in the patches of colorful grass. Then the person beneath the house let out a low ghastly moan before becoming completely silent. Rukia glanced back up still holding the person's red shoes realizing what had just happened.

"Oh no... what have I done?" Rukia said solemnly burying her head in her hands.

But unknown to Rukia just some inches away within the tall grass stood several short human looking people who poked their heads out of the bright colored plants. They were somewhat smaller than Rukia dressed in bright greens and yellows and brown leather clothes also with small fur hats on most of their heads. One notable member of the bunch who was also fairly short and young looking with snowy white hair and teal eyes was at the forefront gazing at the sight of Rukia holding the ruby red slippers in front of the large home.

"I can't see what's happening but... I think the Wicked Witch is dead."

"What!? That's impossible! Cirucci was killed!" said one of the short people next to the white haired boy. Soon murmurs and whispers grew louder out of the bush gaining young Rukia's attention.

"Hey! Who is there?" she asked somewhat frightened. The murmurs stopped while the sound of shuffling persisted.

Then with no longer a moment's waste the young boy Hitsugaya stepped out of the colorful bushes and walked up towards Rukia. He looked fairly normal like a human to Rukia's eyes but his white hair and teal eyes made him appear out of the norm. He was also a bit shorter than Rukia but not totally so.

"Hello. Do you know what just happened?"

"What-no! There was this storm and it just-my house-well..." Rukia glanced at the feet of the unknown person that lay underneath the house. "I... I think my house crushed her... whoever she was..."

The young man's brow arched high. "So it's true! You killed Cirucci Thunderwitch!"

Then much to Rukia's surprise more short people bolted out of the bushes surrounding her. They looked a bit different from Hitsugaya each with smiles and cheery faces, some even with little freckles and dimples. Rukia was greatly confused as they began parading around her dancing and hopping with joy, some singing great songs with glee. Hitsugaya was far too annoyed with the situation but could not stop as his kind danced around the girl.

"Woo hoo! Cirucci is dead! Cirucci is dead! No more Thunderwitch!"

"We've been freed from the Wicked witch of the East!"

"Wait a minute! I didn't mean to kill her! What's going on?" Rukia asked whilst being spun around. Hitsugaya then grabbed Rukia by her shoulder spinning her around causing the group to stop as well.

"You really do not know. Well I shall tell you. That underneath your large house is Cirucci Thunderwitch, the Wicked Witch of the East. And you directly or indirectly killed her. Thus, you've freed the citizens of Munchkinland from her wrath and rule."

Rukia tried to absorb this as best as she could but could not believe anything at all. Her eyes looked back to Cirucci's feet which now were limp. At the same moment a black cloud hovered above Rukia and the Munchkins and then surrounded everyone forming into a single humanoid shape.

"What's this I hear of the Witch of the East?"

Hitsugaya spun around and gasped. "No! Tier Halibel what are you doing here!?"

The Munchkins shrieked running around now in a fight. Rukia had no idea what was going on and stood close to Hitsugaya's side.

"What do you mean 'why am I here'? I sensed something wrong with Cirucci earlier and know she is dead. As the Witch of the West this is of my concern." said the Wicked Witch.

Rukia was frightened of course at the witch's demeaning figure choosing to stay behind Hitsugaya. Of course she also could not help noticing that she was also beautiful with her nicely tanned dark skin, shapely figure, and short spiky blonde hair. Her black jacket and form fitting pants fit well with her attire matching her cool expression of her flawless face and marine eyes that stood out to the young girl that also struck a fear.

Then Halibel's attention turned to Rukia herself and her eyes widened. "Cirruci's silver slippers! So it was a Munchkin that finally killed her. How careless of she..."

Rukia blinked then stepped back from behind Hitsugaya. "H-Hey I'm no Munchkin, I'm a regular average heighted girl!"

"What?" Halibel herself now blinked. "But clearly you are small, well taller than even the tallest munchkins but still, what are you if not a Munchkin than?"

"What am I? What do you mean what am I? I'm a girl! A-GIRL!" Rukia exclaimed flailing her arms around.

Halibel remained quiet watching Rukia's petite form curiously. Human. I see.

"Well then, girl, all the more reason for you to hand over those silver slippers. By right they are my property."

Before Rukia herself could respond Hitsugaya stood in her way. "Not a chance Halibel! We won't let you take these after what Cirucci did to Munchkinland already, you'd just continue to reign misery. wouldn't you?"

"Fool of a munchkin. As the second and stronger of the Wicked Witches Cirucci's slippers belong to me now." Halibel pushed Hitsugaya to the side and made way to grab the slippers out of Rukia's hands herself. The girl stepped back in fear of the witch clutching the slippers tighter now.

"Give them to me!"

"Stop right there Halibel!"

A clear feminine voice spoke out. Halibel's eyes widened while a bright light seemed to explode shining brightly right there in munchkinland.

Then as Rukia opened her eyes she did a double take. Standing in front of her and Tier Halibel was a tall curvy voluptuous woman dressed in a short black witches outfit revealing her full figure including her large breasts and curvy form. Her hair was long wavy strawberry blonde and her skin was fair and soft looking as was her greatly beautiful face with full lips. What made Halibel absolutely sure of her identity was a short pink scarf wrapped carefully around her neck and laying in her cleavage.

"No... what are you doing here!?" Halibel questioned with a slight snarl.

"Can't you see? as one of the Good Witches it is my duty to protect this part of Oz from you Halibel." the woman spoke with sheer confidence and charisma.

Hitsugaya gasped immediately recognizing the woman. "Unbelievable, it's Matsumoto Rangiku, the Good witch of the North!"

"Oh I'm so glad you remember me Toshiro kun!" the Good Witch turned around blowing an air kiss at the white haired munchkin who blushed. Rukia wondered if the two were already familiar with each other when Tier Halibel drew her attention with a cough.

"Matsumoto, step aside. I am here to collect my inheritance now that Cirucci is dead."

"I don't think so Halibel. I have a cast a spell on these parts, your magic will not work here in these parts under my protection."

Halibel stood back shocked at the statement. Rangiku however turned towards Rukia pulling her close in a hold. She winked at the young girl before continuing.

"These silver slippers rightfully belong to this girl here. She defeated Cirucci Thunderwitch and as per right are hers and hers alone."

Halibel balled up a fist scowling. If that is so then very well. But," she then pointed at Rukia causing her to shudder. "She will have to leave these parts sometime. Then and only then will I have what is rightfully mine!"

Then without warning Tier Halibel disappeared from sight in a golden cloud of smoke. Rukia, the Good Witch, and the Munchkins were now left to themselves in Munchkinland.

Rangiku then focused her attention back to Rukia. "Well then now to the matter with you dear. That big 'ol scary witch didn't scare you did she?"

"I'd say you're both the same size Rangiku." Toshiro said dryly whilst the Good Witch turned back around.

"Shiro-chan! How rude, I'm clearly bigger than that cold Halibel!" Rangiku stated whipping her long hair behind her back.

Rukia did not know what to make of the situation at all when she felt a gentle nudge at her ankle. Looking down she noticed it was Chappy, having crawled all the way from the house and was pawing at her feet.

"Oh Chappy, that's right! You're still hungry." Rukia picked up her rabbit when Rangiku bent over to pet his head.

"This little guy's hungry? No problem! Have a carrot!"

With a snap of her fingers a single bright orange carrot appeared out of thin air and in Chappy's teeth. Rukia was startled by the Good Witch's magic whilst Chappy got to eating his precious meal.

"How-did you do that!?" Rukia asked surprised.

Rangiku giggled snapping her fingers making a small seat appear floating. "That is my magic. As the ruler of the North my powers are great so long as they are used for the likes of Good."

At the same moment Rangiku made a nile filer appear which she grabbed and began to use while Hitsugaya quietly muttered 'Good for you maybe'.

"Now then to you dear, Your name is Rukia yes? Where did you say you came from?"

Rukia stammered. "A-ah, Karakura Town, that's in Japan."

"Japan? I've never heard of that country before. So you really aren't from Oz."

"Oz?" Rukia repeated the unfamiliar name.

"Yes! Oz, this country is all Oz. It's a magical country, though you must not have known that being from wherever you came from. Tell me how did you get that giant palace to fly if it was not by magic then?"

Rukia blinked. "What-no that's not a palace! It's just my brother in law's mansion. A giant storm just carried it off and then I ended up here."

Rangiku blew on her nails softly before sauntering over towards the front of the large house. "Well you sure about that honey? It gives my place a run for it's money."

"Not to mention all of Munchkinland." Toshiro added next to Rangiku gazing up the front of the house. Then the twitch turned back clasping her hands together.

"Well then Ms. Rukia, you must be in quite a jam for now yes?"

"Uh...right. Actually, I'm not sure how to get back home. And I'm sure Byakuya and Hisana nee san are worried sick about me if the entire house is gone." Rukia said no thinking about how worry wart Hisana would react to the whole situation with Munchkins and Witches and Magic.

"Alrighty then. Well as the Good Witch of the North it's my duty to help you no matter what! But you might want to seek someone with a far stronger magic than I if you want to go back to your home."

"A stronger magic? Who?" Rukia asked curiously.

"Why... the Wizard of Oz! He's the ruler of this country and the best magician we know!"

Rukia blinked. "Really?"

"Oh yes Rukia! He is the leader of my order and lives in Emerald City. You'll find him there if you just follow the Yellow Brick Road." Rangiku directed her wand to the edge of the bright colored bushes that blowed ever brightly.

As Rukia looked at this Rangiku bent down to face her at eye level. The Good Witch grabbed the silver slippers and held them up to Rukia's line of sight.

"Put these on Rukia. They hold great power and will protect you along your way. Understood?" Rukia nodded and Rangiku smiled. She then walked back and looked to with a wide mischievous smile. Hitsugaya merely glanced back at her.

"What do you want Rangiku?"

"I'll be greatly busy Toshiro and will need and assistant to accompany me on my errands." Rangiku stated and with not another moments wait grabbed the white haired man's head.

"What-hey you-Rangiku you can't just take me like this!"

"Oh but Toshiro-chan don't you know that once a Good Witch asks of your service you are to always obey their command?"

"You just made that up!" Hitsugaya argued. Much to his protest Rangiku held up Hitsugaya now in one arm much like a child and turned back to Rukia.

"Remember Rukia, follow the yellow brick road and you will find the Emerald City of Oz. the Wizard will help you return home with his magic."

Rukia nodded again to the Good Witch. Rangiku smirked and with a wave of her magic wand and a sweet spring hum she disappeared again in a blue soft light.

Now alone with her great big house in the middle of Munchkinland Rukia had no other option but to go forward. She sighed looking back to Chappy who now finished his carrot and was glancing to his master. Rukia smiled hugging the rabbit close to her chest and nuzzling his furry head.

"You're not worried at all are you Chappy?" Rukia asked. The white rabbit remained silent scrunching his nose at his short owner.

And now the journey began.

...See ya later Karakura Girl!

Lion: Wow so I'm one of the few people that didn't know Oz: the Great and Powerful just came out. Heh man am I out of the loop. But I am going to watch it because I still have an AMC ticket and am a big Wizard of Oz fan. It's interesting the timing of putting up this parody fic around the time the prequel movie comes out. Though I personally have a preference to the Return to Oz movie in just how dark it got at times in contrast to the other adaptations. But I don't mind lighthearted Oz books and movies because that's the story I fell in love with in the first place.
