I really have nothing to say about this fanfic, other than this is a GrimmjowxOC. It's also my first Bleach AU as well, so please tell me how it turns out.
This may be the first really dark story of mine.
So anyway, please review!

PROLOGUE
The anchor woman on the television screen cleared her throat, and parts her lips:
"In the modern day Japanese music industry, there stands a rock band gifted with exceptional talent that comes only once every few generations. If the music industry was sorted out in an animal-like food chain, they would have been the kings of lions and lionesses. It was nearly impossible for anybody residing in Japan to not know who this rock group was.
Their charisma did not just just attract the old and young female population, but spread out to entice the young boys as well. As for the fully grown male race, if you saw the men that comprised the rock band, you'd understand why they were hated by this particular society...and why the country's divorce rate had inclined steadily for the last two years.
Their concerts sold in the millions, never had any of their performances been met with an empty seat in the crowd. Their fame had reached the peak where their have been incidents when tickets were sold out in merely five minutes. That record had not been challenged by anyone other than with the nine group Korean girl band, Girls' Generation."
Thus, the anchor lady leads the reader to the setting this night. Not even ten minutes into the stadium doors opening, and the fifty-five thousand seats of the Tokyo Dome were nearly half filled. Fourteen minutes later, and the final teenagers where seated on the chairs.
Of course, that changed when the lights abruptly went out three minutes later. Every single person shoot back up on their feet, and eruptions of cheers and madness reached all four corners of Japan's largest concert stadium.
One light blinks open and shines upon the centre of the large stage. When the crowd managed to adjust their eyes to the light, and their curious orbs landed on a tall figure silhouetted by the illumination, their cheers grew to high proportions.
Another beam of light turns on, and then another, one by one garnering even more screams from the Japanese in the Tokyo Dome and at home watching the concert live. In the end, five white lights shone on the stage.
The man underneath the centre light, as well as the first to be made present to the crowd among his band, stepped forward. The movement let the fans see the all black studded vest and baggy ripped jeans outfit he wore, as well as his handsomely defined face. His shocking electric blue hair was all natural , but screamed a foreign gem.
He looked to either side of him, the two band members one either of his two closest sides moved up a step, adorning similar edgy outfits that would have sent visual kei lovers running with their tails between their legs. As the final two step forward as well, mimicking the blue haired man's actions, the crowd was greeted with two heads of raven hair, a head of silver, and a head of orange.
Slowly, the blue haired man raised his fist up, and then shot it down onto the smooth surface of stage floor. Stage lights boomed open. Exciting cries terrorized the arena as the lights blacked out once more.
The overboard right behind the five man rock band came alive for the first time that night, donning blue, red and white lights that spelled out Japan's top band of musicians' names.
YUA
Five members. Keyboard, Hisagi Shuuhei. Bass, Kurosaki Ichigo. Guitar, Ichimaru Gin. Drums and leader of the band, Jiruga Nnoitra.
Lead singer, Jaegerjaques Grimmjow.
"Heh.", the blue haired singer scanned over the wild crowd and spotted one person being carried off by the medical staff Seireitei Entertainment had hired for the all Japan tour, "I'm loving this job."
He turned to his mic and screamed into the head, throwing his arm up into the air and flashing his thumb in the signature pose of YUA.
"YOU READY TO MAKE TONIGHT OUR BITCH?"
"UWAAA!"
"YUA rocked the entire nation to sleep that night, in their last concert of the tour worth 10 billion yen."
…
…
…
The next morning the five man band ran out of their van and ushered their way through the thick crowd of paparazzi and screaming fans, signing as many of them as possible. Half an hour later after entering the twenty story TV station and being seated into their interviewing chairs, they were greeted by the sight of three women walking their way, sporting Victoria Secret and Calvin Klein merchandise.
Catching each others' eyes, the three women smiled and sat to the side of the YUA members.
"How's it going for you guys?", Gin smiled toward the red haired and busty female in the black satin romper.
Matsumoto Rangiku smiled, "We're all tired from the European trip a few hours ago. But we're pretty much fine."
"How long has it been that we've been able to sit together like this?", Shuuhei chuckled and scratched the back of his head, "One year?"
"Almost. Just almost a year has gone by so quickly.", the tall raven hair leader glanced at the female sitting beside him, sporting long green hair and an even deeper colour of a formal top.
"...Hi 'Tora.", she whispered, lifting her hand up and placing it on the older man's knee.
He reacted by flinching away and conversing with the blue haired Grimmjow on the left of his stool.
Neliel Tu looked down at the marble floor and bit her bottom lip, willing not to act too recklessly.
Ten minutes later of uncomfortable tension between the two, and the 'ON AIR' light flashed on, cuing the show's opening music and the Host of Las Nonches TV.
"Good Morning everyone!", MC Shunsui hollered out into his mic and winked at the studio audience, "Boy do we have a treat for you today! Look who's joining me here to give you a nice wake up call just after they have rocked you to a sleep filled with beautiful women!"
"We've got ALL five members of YUA here, Japan's top musicians, Shuuhei, Ichigo, Gin, Nnoitra and Grimmjow!"
"And Japan's beautiful supermodels, Neliel Tu, Kuchiki Rukia and Matsumoto Rangiku! Now!", the brown haired adult turned to the young adults seated nineteen and twenty year old men, "We've all got a major question for you boys. Everyone wants to know everything about you. But what no one knows is why you guy's band name is YUA. Does it stand for something? And why was that you chose YUA?"
The three females squirmed in their seats and turned to face the men, dreading the question that they have all tried to avoid. Gin's grinning smile ever so slightly faltered as he turned to look at Shuuhei and Ichigo, who looked back at him worriedly.
The tallest and leader of the group, Nnoitora, palmed his face with his large hands rubbing his forehead before dragging it over his mouth. He turned too look at the blue haired Grimmjow, whose sea blue eyes glanced toward the exit sign at the far end of the studio floor.
After a signal from the director, Shunsui cleared his throat, "Boys? Is there something-"
"You wanna know why we're called YUA?", Nnoitora cut in sighing, to which everyone in the audience screamed outrageously loud.
Grimmjow rubbed his face and closed his eyes, "I guess there's really no point in keeping it a secret."
"Well?", Shunsui rested a hand on his elbow and leaned forward on his red seat, "Why YUA?"
"..."
"..."
At the silent reply he was given, the brown haired show host frowned and looked toward the three models, who were looking just as uncomfortable as the musicians.
"Ladies? You grew up with each other. Maybe you would know why they were-"
"We're called YUA...", Gin started. The host host huffed at the second time he was interrupted a second time on his own show.
"Yes, Gin-kun?"
"We're called YUA, because there once was a girl named Kawasaki Yua."
"Oh.", the brown haired man blinked. He pressed on, "Why would you say this past tense? What happened?"
"..."
"Surely, we couldn't have...", he chuckled looking frantically at all of them.
"She died.", the silver haired guitar player continued, and turned to look at the audience, "Around the time before our debut. So so years ago."
"Oh...", for the first time in a while, Shunsui's face became serious and dark, "I'm sorry if I pressed on with something like this. But...", he leaned forward again, "Who was she?"
Nnoitora looked straight at the show host, a raw feeling of affection surging toward the older man that cause Shunsui to stir in his seat.
"She was our friend. A family member, a singer, a person that we knew since we were all twerps in the dumps.", he broke out into a light goofy grin, "I don't think we would be here if it wasn't for her."
Jiruga Nnoitora never broke out into goofy grins.
"Yua was a lot of things."
"...Huh?", Shunsui blinked and looked at the blue haired nineteen year old sitting beside his band leader.
He wasn't wearing any smile on his face.
"So basically, Yua was our everything."
"We decided that our name will be YUA, in remembrance of her.
When she died."
…
…
…
I didn't die.
I was abducted and murdered.
And they all know who it was.
…
…
…
Well, this is the prologue. Please tune in for the very first Chapter, coming in this week!
