Chapter 1- Fun and Games

Hey ppl this is my first fanfic so plz R & R , I hope you enjoy

Rounding another bend using the mop as a paddle of some sort (left, right, left) crouching low to gain more speed. I have never gone this fast, I am definitely going to win this race. Even though this is the most stupid and reckless thing I've done I just couldn't help myself. It was such a rush they always were, we always found a way to make everything we did a race/challenge. Right at this moment we were racing each other using a mop and bucket, (the bucket being the skateboard and the mop as a paddle). Why clean when you can race right. I was honestly surprised that the bucket hasn't broken. Yet! Not that I'm looking forward to it actually breaking as I'm going this fast, could seriously get hurt. Like I said one of the most stupid and reckless things we've done. So why do it you ask? Why not! It's fun, a lot of fun!

"Look out, coming through!" I yelled as I sped past just barely missing someone as they flung themselves against the wall.

"Ahh! You could have killed..." was all I heard as I zoomed down the hallway.

I had turned another corner about to increase my speed some more when she sped along the adjacent hallway yelling.

"Too slow Shiva!"

"Damn it! Aka. I will win. Shit get outta the way!" Yet another near miss as I simultaneously crouched as low to the bucket while the other person jumps high into the air just in time for me to whiz underneath.(Great! I'm going to hear about this later) I thought to myself as I look over my shoulder to discover that the person I almost collided with, was none other than the sixta espada 'Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez'.

I'd deal with it later I thought, right know I have to win this race. It was the closest race we have had yet toe to toe with the finish line in site, I couldn't help the huge grin from spreading across my face. Crack, there it was the bucket had reached its limit but that smile still stayed I knew I won or had I?

I heard the bucket shatter as it hit the wall, I hurt all over and I couldn't breathe. My throat it burned, had I really ran into the wall as well? No there were no walls close by. Argg! My throat it's, is that the ceiling I see? Wait why do I see the ceiling? Realization hit me hard, my high from the adrenaline totally evaporated.

Grimmjow! He was strangling me, his grip tightened even more and I realized he had picked me up and pined me to the closest wall. I growled at him and scratched his hand away from my throat, took a deep breath and shouted.

"Damn it Grimmjow, you made me lose. I was so close too!"

"Listen here little girl!" he said while grabbing my throat and pinning me to the wall again "I could kill you. Right here and right know it's as simple as a twist of my wrist" He laughed like a mad man.

Ok so I guess I'll be hearing about it know rather than later, wait? My anger flared.

"Little Girl! My name is Shiva Silvermist, and I assure you I am not a little girl!"

"I don't give a shit what your name is little girl, but since I'm in an unusual mood I'll give you a compromise. Either die here and know or fight me? Either way you're going to die!"

"Fine I accept your challenge I'll meet you at the training grounds in 5 minutes." I replied as I pulled his hand away from my throat for the second time.

"Alright I will give you your 5minutes to say your goodbyes and get your zanpakuto. Keep me waiting any longer and I will hunt you down." With that he turned the left.

Rubbing my throat I turned laughed a nervous laugh then smiled at Akahana.

"Well that was fun. I guess you won then?"

"Damn it Shiva! What did you do know? Never mind unfortunately I won't see your fight. Harribel is waiting for me. Umm! Shiva why don't you carry your zanpakuto?"

"Oh ok! Well I can defend myself without using it so I don't see why I should carry it around with me. Hey Akahana, just in case I don't make it back thanks!"

"You'll be fine you're basically just as strong as he is, maybe even stronger." She gave me a reassuring smile then left.

I guess you're asking who I am well if you haven't already figured out my name is Shiva Silvermist. I am not one of Aizens creations nor am I a hollow, I call myself a 'Marchi' there have only been two others like me in… well ever. I have no idea how I got here, here being Las Noches, Hueco Mundo. I've lived here for just over a year, I share my room with Akahana. Which wasn't that far from where I was standing or the make shift finish line of our race. My Zanpakutos name is "Hi-kashou" it's more like a tanto than a normal katana. (A tanto is commonly referred to as a knife or dagger. The blade is single or double edged with a length between 15 and 30 cm.)

I smiled down at my little dagger remembering how I had first learnt of his name. I guess it was about 200 years ago, it had been a week since I destroyed on my home town located on the outskirts of Rukongai district 75 and killing both the Highchi and Marfurry Spices.

~flashback~

I was wondering around the broken buildings looking for food and a safe place to sleep when I was approached by three men that I immediately recognized as Shinigamis due to their cloths all captains by the white jackets. The one on the right wore a pink kimono, straw hat and had facial hair on his upper mouth. The one to the left had long white hair tied back, he was a tall man with a somewhat emaciated appearance. The last man the one standing in the middle was much older then they, his shinigami uniform was greatly exaggerated and his captain jacket draped over his shoulders instead of wearing it. Looking down to my little dagger knowing that if I had to fight them I wouldn't be any match. Being torn out of my somewhat trance when the old man started to talk.

"Are you the one that did all this?" he asked pointing to the destruction around us.

I was about to nod when I asked who they were (again that courage, it just comes from nowhere)

Luckily they didn't take any offence to my question and simply smiled a kind smile at me replying.

"My name is Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni and this guy to my left is Shunsui Kyōraku and to my right is Jūshirō Ukitake. And your name little girl?"

I didn't return his smile I simply replied "Shiva Silvermist, I am the monster that did this. Are you going to kill me know that you know I am capable of this?" I turned around to emphasize the dead bodies and destroyed buildings around me. I was hoping that he would kill me but instead he shook his head saying he has something better in mind for me.

"We will teach you how to control your powers and look after you." Shunsui Kyōraku said smiling at me again.

"Why? Just kill me, I did this. Even my big bro bro ran from me. Why would you offer to look after and teach me when you know what I'm capable off?" I looked at him confused, I was on the verge of bawling when I asked.

But they kept to their words I started leaning the next day, they soon came to the conclusion that I was unable to be around people after nearly killing everyone in the class they tried to put me in. Even though I couldn't lean with the other students they didn't give up on me, instead they taught me themselves or left me work to do one my own. I still lived in the same district the only complete building in the area, it was only a simple house but it had everything I needed. They had cleaned up the area kind of, like there were no bodies lying around but the destroyed buildings still laying around.

(Oops! Sorry got a bit carried away there.) Jumping forward a year I was lying underneath a tree staring up at the sky when I started to drift off into a sleep. Wait what's this? I was in a place with floating islands everywhere most were connected with vines while others just floated where ever they wanted I was standing on the biggest island that had an ice forest to one side and like a searing hot dessert on the other half. The whole place seemed to have a dark aura filling the air.

"Girl! So you've finally decided to show yourself!" came a deep males voice, but where was the speaker?

"Wh…Who are you? Where am I? Have I been here before?" I asked

"Little girl do you not remember this place? I guess it was a little different when you were here last." Stated a familiar females voice.

"Roarrr! I was the one talking first. Girl fight me and I will answer your questions." The Males voice came again, but this time I realized he was in the forest. What was he? He didn't sound human! Could I fight him? I had too it was way overdue to find some answers to the constant questions running around in my head. My sword materialized in my hand but it seemed different it was a lot heavier and bigger. It was just as tall as I was maybe a little taller. (?.?) I was totally confused, is this the same zanpakuto. The hilt of this sword is the same size of my tanto (end of hilt to tip). I could easily maneuver my tanto with one hand but this one I needed both hands and it wasn't as easy to swing.

"Ha Ha this is its/my true form girl you seem surprised? I guess you could say it's a lot similar to a Nodachi" The Male laughed a deep chested laugh, while he come out of the forest.

I tried not to turn and run in the opposite direction upon seeing the creatures form. (No wonder it didn't sound like a human. It defiantly wasn't a human or anything similar) I guess you could call it a huge as Lizard. Its scales were a translucent blue color, under the scales you could see like a blue liquid substance similar to lava. He had big white eyes huge clear crystal like wings on his back and spicks that framed his face then continued down his back to the tip of his tail. So yet again I managed to muster up some courage from nowhere and stood my ground. Even if I can't fight with my quick speed and agility that I get from being a Marfurry I can use my strong wings to fly up high and use its weight at my advantage. That's it use its weight to my advantage I though, a huge smile started to tug at the side of my lips as I came up with some strategies to defeat this…Dragon? Instead of my normal low crouched stance I what looked like a normal standing stance with my left side to the creature and my right hand on the hilt of the sword.

"Ready?" I asked in a voice that didn't sound like my own. The smile still on my lips, I hadn't smiled since that day 1 year and a week ago. Why? Am… Am I getting excited about this fight? He seemed to change his stance as if he was going to lunge towards me. So I shifted my left hand to the hilt and swung it in an upward arch just as he lunged. He obviously didn't expect me to do that and he barely had time to halt his attack and step just out of the reach of the sword. Which dug into the ground and twisted my back at the same time. (Geez! I have to be more careful) I thought. He was coming for me again I dove to the left just in time leaving my sword in the ground. (Great, how stupid could I be?) Here he comes again, I need to get back to my sword but he has the advantage over me. He is 100 times bigger than I am, his claws are bigger then mine… wait! My claws I can use my claws as well. I'm getting really bad first I panic at the size of my new sword, then I nearly twist my body in half, leaving my sword and now not using my brain or rather what I was born with like my claws. I really need to practice some more, and I'm not just talking about my sword work I mean everything from hand to hand fighting to using my brain.

I got it he is an ice dragon right? That desert I could use it couldn't I? (know that's using my brain) I smiled I'm going to win this fight. Oh No! he got me, looking down at myself I noticed a huge cut across my stomach and chest. Wait! If this is a dream than why does it hurt so much?

"Girl this is no dream I assure you. When you get back to your body that cut is still going to be there!" He stated.

"Oh, ok" All of a sudden I didn't feel so confident about this fight.

"Girl stay focused! Or I will kill you!" he said. Is he trying to give me advice? "I thought this fight would be more difficult then this! Or are you willing to die without a fight?" (Nope he didn't I realized, all he wanted was an interesting fight)

"Ok so you want more? Alright well I'm really not a very patient Marchi so I'm going to give it everything I have are you ready, Dragon?" I asked with a smirk. His simply laughed and flew up into the sky. (great well here goes nothing) I walked over to my sword and shot up into the sky after him, swinging the sword to the left the right of my body. Slow to begin with and speeding it up with each swing, then he came at me I had to time this right… but did u really want to kill my new found friend. Wait did I just call him my friend. NOW I let the sword go as it reached mid swing, timing it just right so that I wouldn't kill him. Yes I cut him over his left eye, but it didn't slow him down. I have to move… I have to move NOW as I flung myself to my right after my sword, using my claws across his cheek along the back of his neck then over his left wing. I dove for my sword and caught it just as it was about to hit the ground. He landed 10 feet away from me. I swung the sword over my head dung it into the ground then flung myself over that using the momentum of both the swing and my body to trow the sword over my head at the dragon. He managed to duck and I cut his back, using his tail to fling me across the field. (I can use this) I thought with a smirk play across my face. Come on over this way, yes into the desert. Know lets see how well you fight in the heat affects your ability to fight. After flipping around and clashing against each other I realized the heat did absolutely nothing to him but I couldn't say the same for myself. I hated the heat I love to keep things nice and cold (it's in my blood, literally). For some reason I was born with cold blood well not cold like reptile cold rather it had cold properties which gave me the ability to use it like a poison as I scratched someone, freezing the person solid at times depending on where I got them. I also found out that I can cool my drinks, I've been trying to heat them by taking the coldness out. Yer it's kind of worked once but that was only with a chilled drink turning it to room temperature, but that's something right? It was obvious that my cold did not affect the dragon at all. What know, I can't take much more of this heat although I feel as if I'm getting used to my new sword shape.

"Ok Girl. If we keep this up we are both going to die!" the dragon said snapping me from my thoughts.

Panting I replied "How are you going to die, this heat is doing nothing to you!"

"Ahh! Nice thinking! You thought that me being an ice dragon that this heat may affect me enough to give you the advantage. Know that's using your head, your strength is very impressive too! I must admit you have gained my respect but I'm still going to wait and see how you turn out before I give you my trust"

"Oh, ok you're quite the formidable foe yourself. May I ask why the heat doesn't affect you?" was all I could think of saying to his surprising… Speech?

"Ha Ha, no need to compliment me and as agreed I will answer your questions. I am what you would call a fire dragon even though my powers revolve around ice. Do you understand girl?"

"Oh ok I see what your basically saying is that your ice is so cold that it burns, right?"

"Yes that is exactly what I'm saying, you're pretty smart for a little girl. Not even mentioning your inhuman strength." He replied in a light hearted tone.

"Yes my family and sensei tell me. By the way my name is Shiva not girl!"

"Ok Shiva it's nice to meet you my name is Hi-Kashou. I am your zanpakutos spirit. Whenever you need my strength call me by using my name. Gir…Shiva I sujest you go back to reality and heal your wounds or we will both die!"

"Oh my! Ok well thank you for the great fight Hi-kashou, I hope we have the opartunity to do it again sometime… Um Hi-kashou how do I get back?" Bairly managing to get it all out as reality came back to me.
