Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

Robert Frost

A girl sat alone on the barren land, with no one except her wolf. She didn't know what she was doing there. Her thoughts were slowly coming back.

"Where am I? What am I doing here?" she muttered groggily.

"Hell if I know. We were hoping you could tell us."

Her head whipped back.

Enemies, she thought. with such strong spiritual energy. Why did I not sense them sooner? Why didn't Ookami -

She jumped up and glanced down at her wolf. He was asleep. Or ill.But she couldn't remember.

"Who are you?" she hissed through her teeth. Her hands flew to the sword on her back, and she pulled it out of the sheath. She looked at it.

A sword? Why do I have a sword?

She saw her reflection in the sword. She gasped. Her headband was on, but it was white, like bone. She was also wearing earrings, both in the shape of fangs, and again, as white as bone.

A hollow's mask. No, an Arrancar. I'm an Arrancar. Since when?!

The thing she noticed next was her eyes. They were a hard, terrifying red. Like blood.

I'm an Arrancar. I'm out in the middle of nowhere. Two people are here. Did they do this to me?

Her brain rattled with many confusions. She didn't know what to think, but then she remembered why she had her sword out in the first place.

Enemies.

"Why should we tell you who we are? I asked first. And you haven't answered yet."

She looked over her visitors.

One was giant, compared to her, strong and stable looking. She didn't linger on details. His spiritual energy was not as strong as the other one. The one talking to her. He had teal colored hair and eyes. He looked rather fierce, and...

Cute. But dangerous.

She always judged her opponent by strength. Then sex appeal. And visitor number two was winning at both. She would attack him last.

"I will not tell you my name. Leave."

"Huh. You answer quick. Well too bad for you, we're not leaving. And if we are, you're coming with us." He grinned like a maniac.

Something he said didn't make sense in her head.

"You answer quick."

That was odd. It seemed that she had taken at least a few minutes between questions. She didn't worry about it. She guessed that she just thought fast.

"Is that a challenge?" she questioned.

"I guess so, unless you want to come with us without fighting."

"Not a chance, bastard."

"Fine then. Here we come." The smile faded off the teal one's face.

Oops. Both at once. Not sure I can do that. Wake up, Ookami...

They both ran towards her.

"Ookami!" she yelled.

The wolf's eyes snapped open. He sprang up, and attacked the larger one, leaving her with the teal one.

Teal one, she thought. I really must find out his name. That just sounds weird.

The teal one took a swing at her. She jumped out of the way and landed behind him, turning quickly before he cut her back.

The larger one and Ookami fought off to the side. Ookami was easily winning.

"So, your buddy's losing to wolf, I hope you're better." she said casually, while avoiding and returning swings.

He laughed. "My buddy? Yeah, well, he sucks. I wouldn't be surprised if he died. You still haven't told me your name. And I don't want to have to kill you for it. Aizen wouldn't be happy if did. He said to keep you alive."

Her focus faded.

Aizen? Who's Aizen? Why does he want me?

A howl broke her out of her daze. She looked over, and saw that Ookami had a large gash on his side. The large one looked exhausted, and now Ookami was mad. The wolf took a mad lunge at him, and ripped off his arms with fury. The wolf went for his head next.

There was a loud roar, whether from the Arrancar or Ookami she couldn't tell, because the teal one took the opportunity and struck her leg.

"Damn!"

She jumped, and landed sloppily on her hands and fell over. The teal one held his sword at her throat.

"Looks like I win. Too bad Yammy died. At least it wasn't your wolf. I think I like him better."

She glanced over at Ookami. He was bleeding badly, and he was asleep.

I guess there's no chance of him helping me out here. she thought.

She glared at her captor. "So now what? Are you going to take me to your leader, Zasen or whatever his name is?"

He laughed. "Zasen, that's a good one. Yes, I will be taking you to Aizen now."

He lowered his sword and walked toward her.

"What are you doing? Don't come any closer to m-WHAT are you DOING?!"

He stood her up and scooped her into his arms like a groom would a bride.

"Put me down you bastard! You son of a motherfucking bitch! Put me down!"

As she yelled at him, he only laughed.

"Well, don't you have a mouth on you. Besides, I hit you on your leg. There's no way you can walk."

She growled at him.

"I can too walk, now put me down before I kill you!"

He only laughed.

"I'd honestly like to see you try. Fine, I'll let you down on one condition."

"And what exactly would that condition be? If it's anything related to sex, I swear I will-"

"Whoa, that was a bad conclusion. I would never ask for something like that. Probably."

He winked at her.

"Goddamn you, you, ugh!"

"All I want to know is your name, sex will come later after we know each other a little better. Names, at least."

He grinned as he watched her face turn red, with anger and embarrassment.

"Why, you perverted-"

"Okay, okay. What's your name?"

"My name is-"

What was her name? She struck a blank.

"Uh, uh...I don't know."

He scowled.

"Do you really expect me to believe that?"

"No, really! I don't even remember why I'm here, or why I'm an Arrancar."

"Then how did you know the wolf's name?"

That was another mystery. Did she hit her head on a rock or something?

"I don't know. Honestly, I don't know."

"Your name is Chihana. Chihana Kaji."

They both glanced down. The wolf had just spoken.

"Ookami? You talk?"

"Yes, I talk. I am here to escort you to your new home."

"Which would be where, exactly?" the teal man asked.

"Hueco Mundo."

Cliffhanger, huh? This is just the start. I want your opinion if you think I should continue, because if you do, I will put up chapter 2 as soon as it's typed. Comment and tell me you want me to continue! If there's one person who wants me to continue, I will. But if everyone hates it and thinks I should stop, I will. Even if you're just curious to what happens next, be sure to tell me.
