A/N= If you are a fan of Soi Fon, do not read further. This fic begins from the conclusion of the Soi Fon- Ggio Vega fight.

"It kills in two hits, but you probably felt one." Ggio panicked, but then he smiled.

"That's what you think Captain. Opponents may think that my Tigres Toku Del Sable form is just power; however, if you release just the right amount of reiatsu, you can reject ANY attack."

"What the heck, that is not possible!"

"Oh, but it is. Isn't that right Barragan-sama?" Soi Fon and Oomaeda looked in the direction of the Segunda Espada, who was now wielding an axe.

"You lost Ggio," he growled.

"Actually it was a draw. I am still alive. You can take these ants out yourself, I quit." Ggio sonidoed off somewhere. Barragan was PISSED. He was releasing insane amounts of reiatsu.

"He is right. I can step on you ants by myself."

"Bring it grandpa."

"Rot, Arogante!"

Ggio lay behind a building. He masked his reiatsu so that none of the shinigami could find him. He was angry.

"I bust my butt for that geezer, and this is the thanks that I get. I'm glad I quit being his fraccion."

"All of my comrades are dead. All the other fraccion are dead as--." Ggio smells burned flesh and a faint reiatsu.

"Apache…" He goes in the direction of the charred fraccion.

Ggio scours broken buildings, hoping to find Apache. He can barely make out 3 burned bodies he sees lying lifeless on the ground. The faint reiatsu is a little stronger.

"Apache, Apache!" No response.

"Please wake up. I know you are not dead yet." Still, no response.

"Well, since I am a cat, might as well do this." Ggio starts licking Apache's face. He goes in for another lick when her voice awakens. Her eyes are still closed.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Apache, you are awake. Finally…"

"Ggio? What are you doing here? I thought that the Captain killed you."

"I pulled a trick to not die. Anyways, you and your sisters are a mess."

"Well, we fought the toughest Captain. We got beat pretty badly."

"Oh, sorry to hear that. Let me help you to try and sit up."

"No, please don't. I think my body will fall apart due to severe burns."

"You must be pretty tough to withstand the toughest Captain's ultimate attack."

"I know that I am tough, but I do not think that attack was his strongest."

"I'm glad you're still alive."

"Me too."

"You mind checking to see if Sun Sun and Mila Rose are still alive?"

"Sure it won't take long." Ggio pressed his finger down. No reiatsu from neither Sun Sun or Mila Rose.

"They're both dead."

"Oh man that sucks."

"Hey, don't get so down Apache. I have a plan that will get them back alive, as well as you being nursed back to health."

"Okay. How will that work?"

"The first part of the plan is to get you three to safety."

"Can you carry all of us at the same time?"

"Girl, don't doubt me. I'll carry Sun Sun and Mila Rose first, then you."

"My body won't make it."

"Stop giving up so easily. Barragan-sama would punish us if he ever saw us looking down. You have to believe."

"Okay, okay."

Ggio safely puts the three behind the building where he lay in hiding earlier. He also puts a cloak around the three to ensure that no one will be able to sense their reiatsu.

"I will now go and retrieve some of my fallen comrades."

"Wait Ggio. Why are you helping everyone out all of a sudden? This is not like you at all. You are usually too proud to be caring about others…"

"I've had a change of heart Apache, so to speak. I'll still be that proud arrancar yall have known, but I just feel that I need to lend a hand to my fellow fraccion."

"Yes, but WHY though?"

"Its as you say. I care about others"

"Really?"

"Yes. You've changed too. You are usually mean to me."

"I'm glad to be alive still. I'm not sure of any one else that can survive that attack."

"I can think of one person."

"Oh, I'm sure you can think of one person. GET OUT OF HERE!"

"Okay, I'll leave."

"Wait a minute Ggio."

"What now?"

"Thank you." With that, Ggio leaves to fetch his other comrades.

You are usually too proud to care about others.

"I care about you. That alone is enough to drive me."

A/N= This fic will be multi-chaptered. I hoped you like this first chapter. The second one will be up soon.
