"Gugen no Hisaki: Hotaro." A young girl mumbled as will-o-wisps floated about around her, guiding her through the white desert vastness of Heuco Mundo. The girl had no weapon, no food, no water. Her frail looking form held immense power. Her young face held ageless wisdom.

"Gugen no Reikon: Kasumentoru." The girl's body glowed in an eerie white light, absorbing the surrounding Reishi as a means to nourishing the girl.

"How did I even get here… It's been so long I barely remember my name… Oh how I wish for a cherry-cheese danish, instead of this worthless spirit crap!" The witch snarled, kicking the nearest object that just so happened to be a "tree". The quartz shattered, showering the area and scaring the tiniest of Hollows from their hiding spots and attracting bigger Hollows.

"Shit…" She quickly ran away, a loud shriek following her.

"What's this?" A tail whipped out, tripping the young witch.

"You're not a Hollow… or a Shinigami… but you smell absolutely scrumptious!!" The tail wrapped around the seemingly defenseless girl.

"Gugen no Hisaki: Gusoku!" Her body was incased in fire protecting her frail-looking form and searing the snake-like Adjuchas-class Hollow.

"You bitch!" He screeched, dropping the witch as the flames doused themselves.

"Naughty, naughty Hebi-chan~! Pick on someone your own size!" She smirked, jumping up, face to face before round-house kicking the Hollow in it's cobra-like mask. She winced slightly; she was never good at physical combat. Before either could react, however, a loud roaring howl broke the dead silence of Heuco Mundo, freezing the two in place.

"Shit! I'll eat you later but we gotta get out of here!!" The snake-like Hollow cried before slithering off.

"Huh?"

"Coward." The girl whipped around to see a giant cat-like Hollow jump over her and onto the back of "Hebi-chan". Another loud shriek escaped the Hollow as the panther-like Hollow ripped apart his flesh, eating him. The girl stared blankly as the Hollow's purple blood dripped from the sharp teeth of the cat-like monster.

"You saved me." The witch smiled, still in awe at the beautiful creature before her. She slowly took a step forward and in an instant she was on her back, the Hollow growling in her face.

"What's your name?" She asked uncaring of the dangeros situation she was currently in.

"…Grimmjow." He replied, cleverly concealing his surprise at her lack of fear. Compared to him, she was a weakling; she knew that, he knew that, he knew she knew and so on.

"It's a pleasure , Grimmjow. My name is Uffie." She smiled, staring into the Hollows piercing and stunning turquoise blue eyes with her dark and dull blue ones.

"Now, Grimmjow-kun, become my familiar." Uffie smiled, noticing the waxing moon above their heads. She sat up, wrapping her arms around his neck lightly, barely making contact with him. She stroked the top of his ears and for some odd, blasphemous reason, he felt… At ease. This damn woman was teasing him! But he couldn't move, no matter how much he wanted to swipe at her.

'Wipe that smile of your fucking face…' He thought angrily to fact her smile hadn't faltered in the slightest. She whispered sweet nothing his ears, making them twitch due to her hot but comforting breath. She finally did something that brought him out of his trance.

Uffie planted a light kiss at the end of his snout, sealing their contract.

"What the fuck, woman!?" Grimmjow snarled jumping off the strange woman.

"Hey now, watch your fucking language!" She teased, standing up, an all-knowing smirk gracing her lips. She slowly walked towards him and stroked his head and massaged his ears. Grimmjow was sickened by himself. He had the sudden urge to… fucking purr.

"What the fuck did you do to me?" He growled attempting (unsuccessfully) to step away from her. He let out a small noise that sounded like a moan to Uffie's ears. She was secretly shocked. It sounded so human… Where these Hollows people once upon a time?

"I just made a powerful ally." She answered, smiling sweetly and walked away. Grimmjow felt the sudden need to follow her. And he did.
