Mia's beautiful crystally emerald eyes slowly fluttered open, she let out a small sweet yet crisp sounding yawn. She slowly sat up her, firey red hair was a slight mess even though she had put it in a pony tall. The red head stretched as she sat up, she was sort yet had a small slim figure and didn't look like she was meant for the frontier but the town of Karakura was not but a few miles away and a very short amount of time on horse back. Karakura Town was filled with outlaws, but it had a few good people in it like the Kurosaki family, and a few others who aren't that bad. Mia got up sliding off her night gown then began to make her bed that had a pillow that was filled with feathers, the blankets were a some what tough yet soft fabric since it had been hung out to dry, but this time of year the clothes hung inside by the small fire place. The small home's walls were thin and made of wood so the cold went right through. Mia quickly waddled off to her closet pulling on a pair of mens pants and a top. She slid on a pair of boots that went to her knees and then slid on a thick red dress over it so she would still appear lady like when she went into town. Mia honestly planned on staying in the small town for the rest of the winter since there had been words of wandering Arrancar War Parties who believed getting land back was very important. She knew she was going to be staying with the Kuchiki family but was going to be working different jobs around the small town. Mia pulled on a leather coat with fur put on the inside to keep her warm, before she grabbed her fathers old hat. He was a cowboy he protected the town the town once from the Arrancar, but a wound caused him to loose almost all hope and he slowly faded away. She let out a small sigh as she walked through the small two room house. " Shina common. " She said softly to her some what old mutt who had lived as long as she did but she Shina still acted like a puppy but today was different. Mia watched as her dog slowly stood up sort of shaking as she did so but then she started walking and seemed fine. Mia just smiled lightly at the dog before opening the door and starting to walk through the few inches of snow. Her dog bounced around playfully in the snow carefully making a small mess of the snow. Mia walked over to the stables carefully opening the door and she came face to face with her almost all white horse, Kitko. He was quit a young horse with a LOT of energy. Mia playfully pushed away his large head as he sniffed her face, she went over to the small stable and picked up the saddle putting it on Kitko's back, she adjusted it and then made sure it was secure on his back. She then went over pulling out the musket and knife she had hidden under some hay sliding it over her shoulder and putting on a belt with the bullets and the knife. Mia then mounted up on Kitko, causing her dress to push up but he pants kept her legs covered. She gently kicked Kitko into a gallop Shina following her quickly. She took in a breath of the cold air as they came up over the hill looking out at the plains, then the mountains far away, and then she seen smoke coming from the small town of Karakura that was to the north. Mia looked to the west a thick mist still laid over it even though it was early morning, she blinked when Shina took off toward the west.
" Shina! No! " Mia cried she knew that was the land Arracars lived on and if Shina picked up a scent it was probably one of them. She kicked Kitko into a gallop after her not even thinking about how think the fog was. It was bad. She could hardly see three feet in front of her, but she could see where Shina had ran. " No... " She whispered when she heard her yelp and as Kitko galloped after Shina. Mia put her hand over her mouth when she seen a bit of blood on the snow. She could see the out line of five men moving towards Shina who was laying on the ground whimpering. She had some what watery eyes, she pulled out the knife and chucked it at one of them before she slid down off Kitko smacking his side so he would take off. Mia pulled the musket off her shoulder and fired it at the one that was trying to help the one she threw the knife at up. One of them yelled at tried rushing her with a knife but she hit him with the butt of the musket right to the face, at hit the next one in the face with part of the barrel causing blood to spatter to go every where. They were Arrancar. Two of them were blonde and wearing animal skulls atop their heads. They were wearing animal skin clothes and things of bone. There was a red headed man with war paint on his face, while there was two black haired men wearing the animal skulls on their head along with more war paint. Mia could only assumed they had been out hunting, she was sure she killed them so she walked over to the long haired bloney who was beautiful in some way but she new that he could probably kill some one extremely easily. He had been the one she stabbed, she slowly pulled the knife out of his stomach slowly walking over to her life long pet Shina. She shut her eyes for a moment kneeling next to her dog, who had been her only family member most of her life. Mia's eyes started to water as she seen how many arrows had been put into her sides." Shh.. Shhhhhhh.. Shhh... I'm hear.. Its okay just close your eyes... " She said as if that would hush her whimpers, but she just stroked Shina's head. A few moments later the whimpers hushed and Shina quit moving. Now she was alone in a thick fog with no one but the dead around her. But then her world slowly started fading away and she slowly passed out body limp.
Grimmjow crouched by the edge of the field, his some what long light blue hair blowing slightly in the cold wind. A few strands of his long hair was in braids or some thing similar to one. A few feathers were put into the braids, or some where in his hair. He looked towards the east with his light blue eyes, that were almost like a hawk. He had light blue war paint under his eyes, and their was a painted bone on his face as well. He was wearing a animal skin coat that he could just pull over his head and shoulders. While he was wearing a pair of animal skin pants and leather boots that he had stolen from Karakura town. He had a small animal claw through his ear like how some women in that wore, he let out a small sigh staring out into the fog that he had heard the gun shots from. He had sent the small group of men that he trusted out for hunting but now he couldn't help but think that some thing happened to them. Grimmjow scoffed as he stood up and stretched slightly, he began to walk slowly but with ease through the snow. His movements almost cat like, as he walked, he was known as Grimmjow JaggerJack to the people in Karakura town, but to some in his tribe he was known as Pantera. Since when his mother was pregnant she had walked down by the river that was by the tribe and was attacked by a panther, but saved by another. The panther that saved her stayed around the village until the day Grimmjow was born. That day at about the same time the panther walked into the woods and was never seen again. So only certain people knew him by the name of Pantera, he only let a few close and trusted people know the name Pantera and that was only one. And he hated that person a lot more then he did the Ichigo kid who gave him most of his scars. The chief, the man in change of the tribe... Sosuke Aizen... Damn he hated that man just thinking about Aizen made Grimmjow want to kill some thing... He let out a small sigh as he walked adjusting the bow on his back, then his belt that he has a tomahawk, knife, and a sword that had been taken off a army general that he killed. Grimmjow walked into the fog with out the slightest since of fear, then he blinked when he seen tracks in the snow. He looked around following them, noticing that there had been five tracks then he seen the five's dead bodies. He scoffed then spit. " Weak links.. " He grumbled under his breath stepping on one of their chests to look at the women that looked like she had been killed with a dog that was laying there. He looked her over for a moment crouching next to her out of curiousness. Pantera looked over his prey slowly flipping her over onto her back, then he let out a gasp as his leg was grabbed and pulled out from under him. He feel onto his back the air knocked out of him, he coughed slightly and let out a small gasp for breath.
Mia quickly started to get up, raising her knife toward the blue haired man but then she let out a gasp as she was found on her back staring up into the light blue but deadly eyes. It felt as if her heart quit being for a moment.. Just for a moment.. She found herself staring into his eyes not moving just looking at him. He looked so much different then the other Arrancars, most of them looked so fierce but he looked so laid back calm. Mia was to busy studying his facial features to noticed him sliding the knife out of her hands and tossing it to the side before gipping her wrists and holding her down lightly to the cold ground.
Grimmjow found himself staring right back down at her. Some thing about her eyes drew him in.. There was some thing in those emerald eyes that couldn't be found in most women. A will to fight if needed. He slowly smirked after a moment not being able to help himself. " Cat got your tongue... " He said in a some what purr like tone as he slowly leaned down to the point his lips were almost to her neck. If she stayed still he was going to kill her. But if she tried to squirm and get away. Grimmjow was going to keep her, he liked fighters and this women was clearly one if she took out his War Party.
Mia blinked as she snapped back into reality, he said that in such a devilish tone and his smirk... She blinked watching him her heart skipping beats... " Get the hell off me!" She snapped kicking him between the legs and quickly squirmed out off his grasp and got up and ran, but she tripped and fell her head slamming off part of a rock she slouched against it slowly her world getting blurry before fading to black.
" You little bitch! " Grimmjow growled as he got up once he got done whining over his junk. He wanted her to fight back but in between the legs was crossing a very fine line. The blue haired Arrancar walked over to her slowly grapping her arm picking her up slightly like that. " Hey women.. " He snapped but then he seen she had a gash on her head and her eyes were shut. He huffed slightly as it started to snow and the fog was clearing up. Grimmjow let out a small sigh, pulling her up to carry her bridal style. " When you wake up your really gonna pay for kicking me between the legs... " He mumbled as he carried her, stepping on the dead body again. He glanced back at the spot that he had pinned her to the ground there was a still living flower that was popped out of the snow. He went back to looking like his laid back self as he began to walk back to his lodge at the tribe. He knew one thing. This women could be his ticket to attacking the town and over throwing Aizen...
