A/N: I do not own BLEACH

The desert winds blew harshly across the barren landscape of Hueco Mundo as the moon hung high over head. The silence of the desert stretched on for what seemed like an

eternity until it was broken by a small and sleek, catlike adjuchas-class hollow dashing across the desert at high speed while being chased by several flying hollows. The adjuchas

sped up, trying to out run its flying pursuers but the flying hollows managed to keep pace with it and one of them slammed into the adjuchas, sending it flying into a nearby rock

formation. When the adjuchas hit the rock formation, the rocks crumbled and fell on top of it, pinning the small hollow underneath a small pile of rock. The flying hollows landed

and began pecking at the adjuchas, who snarled and swiped its paw at the hollows, attempting to scare them of but the flying hollows continued their assault until a loud roar

echoed through the air. A second adjuchas leapt off of a nearby rock formation and landed near the flying hollows. This adjuchas was also catlike but it was larger than the

trapped adjuchas and panther like. It roared again and chased off the fly hollows, killing one in the process, before turning to the trapped adjuchas, who hissed weakly as it

approached.

"You're weak." it said in a male voice "The only thing you've got going for you is your speed and that isn't much. Give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you."

"If I wasn't weak from hunger, I could've gone three times faster than that." said the trapped adjuchas in a female voice "I could be a valuable asset to you. I can sense power

levels and I know that you're strong. Combine that with my speed and I can help you find strong hollows to consume so that you can speed up your growth to a Vasto Lorde.

With my help you could reach that level faster than you could alone."

"And what do you want from me?" he asked.

"Just protection." she said "And you let me travel with you." The male adjuchas thought about it for a minute.

"Tch, I guess I could put up with you." he said "As long as you aren't a whiney little bitch."

"You'll hardly notice my presence." she said.

"Good." he said before shoving the rocks off of her "The name is Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez. Remember it well because I won't tell it to you again, got it?"

"Yes Grimmjow-san." she replied as she stood up before looking at the dead hollow hungrily.

"Go ahead and eat it." said Grimmjow "I'm not hungry. I just killed it for the hell of it." The female adjuchas nodded and quickly pounced on the hollow, consuming it quickly

before all of its power vanished.

"Damn," said Grimmjow "You weren't kidding when you said that you were hungry. What's you're name anyways?"

"I don't have one." she said.

"Why the hell not?" asked Grimmjow as he tilted his head.

"I'm a born hollow for one thing," she said "And my parents were killed when I was very small. I might've had a name back then but it's been so long that I've forgotten it or I

might've never had a name to begin with."

"Well that won't do." said Grimmjow "I can't just call you nothing. I'll call ya Nuri, how's that sound?"

"Nuri?" she said trying the name out before nodding "It will do."

"Good." said Grimmjow before turning to leave "Now let's got." The newly named adjuchas nodded and the two of them returned to wandering the vast deserts of Hueco Mundo

but this time neither of them were alone.

This is just a small sample of what it to come. This is also a bit of forewarning, this will be a short story but it will be good.
