It was morning and Grimmjow felt a hand shaking him gently awake. He got up and yawned. "What is it kid?" "There is a meeting in the grand hall. Starrk called it. It's starts in 10 minutes." Grimmjow sighed tiredly and picked up the girl bridal style. He then sodinoed to the hall and put her down on her feet. He then casually walked in with the girl clutching his pants leg. When she looked over and saw Szayel, Grimmjow shot him a glare and he then looked away. Grimmjow sat down in his seat and seated the girl on his lap. Starrk looked to make sure everyone was there then he cleared his throat. "Alright. You all know that it is about time Grimmjow's kid here got some real recognition. For that to happen she needs to learn how to fight and use her powers. Grimmjow, as her guardian, you will have the main say so in any and everything she does. Now, she needs to learn how to first control her raitsu and find her zampakto. I will help with that. After that, she will need to learn how to control her power and concentrate on reading spiritual pressure. Who will take up that responsibility?" There was an awed silence at these sudden plans of action, but soon Ulqiuorra stood up. He nodded towards Starrk and then sat back down. Starrk stiff led a yawn then cleared his throat again. "Alright. Then after that she will need fighting and sparring lessons. This will need 3 volunteers. Anyone want in?" Grimmjow instantly stood up. "I will help with her fighting skills." The girl was startled by the sudden rising of Grimmjow and ended up on the floor. She rubbed her back sorely."Ouch, papa. You could have given me a warning or something before you did that." Grimmjow saw her on the floor and helped her up while blushing in embarrassment. " Sorry, sweety. Didn't mean to drop ya'."He then sat down while she readjusted herself on Grimmjow's lap. After about 5minutes of laughter and about 20 death glares from Grimmjow, Tia Hallibel stood up. "I am willing to assist the child in battle training." The espada sat back down in her seat. " I would love to help her train." Came a serpentine voice from my the opposite side of the table. Noittra was smiling devilishly at Grimmjow and the girl. Grimmjow put the girl behind him as he stood up and snarled feraly at the 5'th espada. " To heck your not! You are not to be anywhere near my daughter!" The whole of the espada were looking at Grimmjow in surprise. Everyone knew that ever since Grimmjow found the girl that fateful night, he had taken her in and became her guardian. But, never had he openly admitted to being her father even though she called him as such. Starrk being the first to break away from the shock of this statement stood up. "Well Noittra, him being her...father you have no right to help her in training or seeing her. So any other volunteers or will I have to appoint one of you for the job?" The shock still being in the air from Grimmjow's statement, Starrk decided on the latter. "Okay then, I appoint Yammy to be the third member. Grimmjow, you will help with anything else you see fit for her to know. Tell me otherwise about anything other than what has been mentioned. Understood?" Grimmjow looked darkly at Noittra for another few moments and then turned to look at Starrk. " Yeah, yeah. Understood Starrk. Com' on Fasha. Let's bounce." Fasha nodded and wrapped her arms around Grimmjow's waist. He then put his hand on her head and then they both disappeared.
About an hour after the very shocking meeting, Fasha was sleeping against the wall with Grimmjow nearby watching her in dead silence. He wished that he could enjoy this kind of peaceful silence more often, but knew that these moments were rare in the castle of Las Noches. He also realized that the girl sleeping so soundly had changed all the lives of the espada. Especially his. He was once ruthless and hated everyone around him and always got himself into trouble. In fact, that was the reason why he had been out when he was the night he found her. He could never forget that night. It was the night that his life would be changed forever.
He was walking through the dunes and was angry with himself. How could he have been so stupid?! He thought that he could defeat Starrk and become leader of the espada. Ha!
Like he, the 6'the espada, could defeat the numero uno espada. He kicked the sand furiously for his arrogance. Now, he had to spend the whole night outside the castle. He was about to kick another sand dune, but saw something surprising. He saw her. She was covered in blood and was losing life energy fast. He stood there staring at the scene for about a minute before he started walking over to her. He felt an impulse not to kill her, but to protect her. He did not even start to process what he was doing before he was already sodining towards Szayel's lab. When he got there he didn't know why but he felt a sharp pang of worry for this mysterious girl he found in the desert. At this time she was about 8 or 9 years old in human years. Grimmjow realized JH e was staring at the girls face when he came back to reality. He yelled into the lab at the top of his lungs. "Szayel-aporro! I need you to get your butt out here and help me! I mean now! She won't last much longer!" Szayel came out and gaped at what he was seeing. Grimmjow Jaegerjaques holding a small girl bridal style clutched very closely to his chest. And if he looked carefully he could see deep worry lines in Grimmjow's face. "Well, come on. Take her and patch her up!" Szayel still in shock did as he was asked without a word said. Grimmjow sighed in relief as he saw the scientist start to heal her wounds and he could feel her life force growing steadily. He then sat criss cross in the room leaning against the bed the girl was in when Szayel was finished and gone. He fell asleep like that. In the morning,before anyone else was up. Grimmjow had gently and carefully left with the girl and had put her down and tucked her into his own bed in his barracks. For the first few days that Grimmjow had been in his room withthe girl he had just sat down next to the headboard of the bed and stared either at her or the door on silent vigil for reasons even huge knew not of. Finally, on the 9'the day of her arrival she woke up. She started shaking almost instantly when she realized she wasn't where she had collapsed in the dessert. She looked like she was having a panic attack. She soon started hyperventilating and confirmed Grimmjow's suspicion. He felt a nurturing instinct kick in inside him and he soon found himself cradling the young girl in his arms whispering soothing reassurances in her ear. "Shhhh, its Ok. Your safe here. I won't hurt you and I won't let anyone else hurt you either. Okay?" She sniffled and looked up at his face. She took in every con tore of his face and every detail etching it into her brain. She wanted to always remember that face. The face of the one who rescued her. She nodded. He felt relieved that she was ok and sighed happily. "So kid. You got a name? Mine is Grimmjow Jaegerjaques." She shook her head sadly. "Well then. I'll give you one. From here on out, your gonna be called Fasha Jaegerjaques. You got me?" She nodded happily and hugged him. "Thank you...Papa." He gaped at her for a moment them sighed. He thought to himself, I will be anything she wants me to be anything she needs me to be.
