Bleach: Requiem of a Feline Arrancar
Author's Note: This story focuses on Halibel and a personal character, a Feline Arrancar. Enjoy, 'cause it's a fairly decent story, in my opinion.
Chapter 1:
Before current events, Halibel's P.O.V.
It was quiet that day, far quieter than it was normally in Hueco Mundo. It hadn't been that quiet since before Aizen-sama arrived and set up base here. I was out walking along he borders of Hueco Mundo for no particular reason, just to take my mind off of what was going to happen in the future, when the Soul Society decided to attack. It was at this point I'd first met him, and the circumstances were pretty normal, when powerful hollows want to get a chance to become an arrancar, they generally target anyone who happens to be outside the walls of Hueco Mundo. He was a feline arrancar, similar to Grimmjow, but a smaller version of him.
"You, you're an Espada correct?" he asked with a slight growl in his voice.
I looked at him with a bored expression, not that he could tell that what with my collar covering my face. "Yes, and you would be?" I asked with a tone that made my attitude clear.
"Kyo." He replied and leaped at me with a clear intent to attack. Such a stupid thing to do.
I blocked easily enough with my right arm and grabbed him by the throat. "You'd do well to understand that as an Espada I am far stronger than you are, and will ever be." I told him tossing him away.
He landed a few feet away and groaned, and I assumed that the fight was out of him and that he'd limp away and lick his wounds out of my sight. How was I supposed to know that this particular hollow was going to change my life the way he did?
Kyo's P.O.V
The first time that Halibel and I fought, I was nothing more than an Adjuchas looking to become an arrancar. Normally I wouldn't think about doing something like challenging her, but then again you can't be too picky about who you get to fight when you're looking for a promotion.
"You, you're an Espada correct?" I asked looking at her. She was different from most of the other arrancar, which meant that she was probably an Espada. Her answer confirmed this for me
"Yes, and you would be?" she asked with a tone that told me that she wasn't in the mood for a fight, or even a simple conversation.
I smirked this was my chance my chance to make something of myself, if I won then maybe Aizen would notice me and turn me into one of his personal arrancar, or even if I lost there was a chance that I'd make it out with my life and be able to brag that I went up against and Espada and survived. "Kyo." I said launching myself into the air in an attack.
She blocked my attack with her right hand, and at that point I was aware of just how far out of my league and crazy I must have been to attempt this.
"You'd do well to understand that as an Espada I am far stronger than are, and ever will be." She said shifting her grip and tossing me away with a simple flick of her wrist. I hit the ground hard on my right shoulder, and groaned that hurt like hell, and I was surprised that I hadn't died right then and there.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Finish it." I snapped angrily. She looked over at me and then turned her back on me,
"No."
That shocked me, why after what I'd done to her, would she not want to kill me? "Why not?" I asked shakily, I was in no condition to fight but still…
"Because, killing you would be no challenge." She said simply and walked away. After that I was determined to become stronger and eventually make not only her, but Aizen as well notice me.
