The Unnamed

I do not own Bleach or any of the other characters in the bleach series. I do own the unnamed boy and any of the zanpakuto spirits that I come up with for some of the characters already established in the story.

Hueco Mundo, a desert-like realm where horrifying beasts battle for supremacy against each other for control over Los Noches and the eventual headquarters of a mastermind and his group of minions (but that is for a later time). These beasts have only one goal to evolve to their ultimate and perfect level, the Vasto Lorde, and will do whatever it takes to make it to that level even committing canabalism against others of their kind or taking the life force of an innocent spirit. It is at this realm that the story begins . . .

A small boy dragging along a broken long sword travels along the never ending expanse of sand covered dunes searching for something that he has long ago forgotten. He travels on trying to keep the weight of the long sword from slowing him down, a sword that he does not even know where it came from but deep down knows that it is necessary for some events that will happen. He stops at the top of the dune and searching the horizon for some landmark that will tell him where he needs to go. Suddenly he notices a large skeleton leopard creature running along the dunes in the distant hunting after a group of similar beasts and decides that he needs to find some sort of structure to protect himself. He then looks down at the ground to see what time it is by using a technique with his broken long sword and noticed that there was a small lizard creature with a mask trying to hide underneath his sword. The boy leaned down and started talking to the lizard," Well hello there, Mr. Lizard! Are you trying to find a place to hide from the scary monsters that seem to be all over the place in this place? How about you come with me and then we can both find a safe place to sleep?" The lizard started to bite the hand that the boy was trying to grab it with but was unable to because the sudden movement of the sand underneath its feet. "Wha . . . WHAAAAAAATTTTTTT!" he yelled as he fell into the sinkhole that was forming underneath his feet and then there was nothing but darkness.

Underneath the sinkhole the boy and lizard fell down a hundred feet into a strange forest/nest that had large creatures roaming around different from the ones that were up top in the dunes area. Before the boy or lizard were killed from the impact of falling that far, a strange white light covered them and amazingly slowed them down enough that they were not harmed at all. In between the many trees, a creature with large white skeleton hands and feet pulled some of the smaller trees down while trying to find the source of the large spiritual pressure that it just appeared out of nowhere. It used its mask covered face to smell out the directions to its intended target and decided among itself to head to the nearby clearing that it had found earlier.

A few minutes later, the boy finally started to toss and turn from his restful sleep to find himself in a completely different area from the one that he was in before falling through the sand. He looked around to get his bearings until he felt something trying to get out from under him and found his new friend the lizard. "Mr. Lizard, you're alright! What happened and more importantly where are we now? It almost feels like I have been here before, but . . ." his feelings of déjà vu were immediately forgotten when he heard the worst howling sound that he has ever heard before in his life coming from his right. The next thing that he know he sees a giant mask peeking out of the large stand of timber and two skeleton hands pushing the giant trees aside to allow it to pass through into the clearing. The creature let out another loud howl before charging toward the small boy intending to trample him to death, so that it could acquire the spiritual pressure and possible be one step closer to evolving into an adjucha. The boy without even any conscious thought grabbed his long sword lying on the ground a few feet away and rolled out of the way of the creature's feet. He then braced himself for the next attack and swung his blade into the heel area to try and topple the creature. Unfortunately even though the blade provided serious damage toward the heel of the creature, it was not enough to do anything other than make it mad and the next thing that the boy knew the creature was building up a powerful attack into its mouth preparing to send it toward him. Knowing that he was in trouble, but having absolutely no clue what to do he started to run away from the creature and suddenly found himself running toward it instead. He grabbed the blade again, while seemingly chanting some phrase that caused a change in his sword and called out an attack that he had never heard before. When the boy had control of his body once again, not only was he still alive, but the creature was seen dissolving into tiny particles that disappeared in the air. He looked at the blade in his hands, that remarkably he was carrying with only one hand (where a few hours ago he had to drag it along with two hands to even move it) and was just the same shape as it had ever been. He was knocked out of his thoughts when once again he heard the howls of another group of these creatures and decided that it was best to run away instead of trying to fight all of them at one time. He made it to the other side of the clearing away from the howling before suddenly feeling woozy and fainting on the spot into strange dreams . . .

A half man/half beast creature fight among large menos trying to destroy him and absorb his vast array of spiritual energy, he uses a large blade to kill them off one by one until a different creature is left. This creature has the appearance of a skeletal panther with a wild look in its eye and pounces toward the lionman that fought off his comrades. The lionman simply sent a large curved energy slash toward it that sent the panther flying into a large area of trees before snarling out that it would get its revenge, Lior . . .

The scene suddenly changes to the same creature sneaking up on the lionman and pouncing on top of him doing massive amounts of damage before the lionman changes into the form of a small boy . . .

"LIOR!" the boy called out as he woke up from his disturbing dreams about the attack of a lionman by a skeleton panther.

"Is that what your name is, boy?" a man asked as he appeared inside the cave after returning with food and medicine.

"I don't know it was the name of a creature that was half lion/half man that appeared in my dreams . . ." the boy answered the stranger before asking his own questions," Who are you and where am I now?"

"My name is Ashido Kano and this is my home or my present home at least! What is your name, if it is not Lior?" Kano responded before noticing the look on the boy's face after being asked about his name.

"My name . . ." he mumbled before noticing his new pet trying to get his attention from the ground and picking it up," I don't know!"

That is the first installment of the unnamed. Please let me know what you think about it by reviewing or personal messaging me, I would really appreciate some feedback. In the next installment, Kano will tell the boy about his past and current mission. The boy will also be given a temporary name that only Kano will call him during his time in Hueco Mundo. Some two people important to the story will probably make their appearance in the next installment also. (The time line for this part of the story is somewhere during the time that Ichigo receives his powers and before Rukia is taken back to the Soul Society.)
