My headache seemed to calm after resting a bit with Grimmjow threatening me, and insulting me. I could never understand why I have to be stuck with him out of all people. I mean, why me? What makes me so special and him? We're just two different beings trapped in the same universe and lifetime.


Flash Back


I said nothing. He knew what I was thinking, so he must know what I am going to say. Might as well let him speak before trouble can be caused.

He chuckled at me. "Ha ha, I have to tell you this, but only if you promise to keep our talk between us. I don't want Grimmjow to have your head."

I nod my head in understanding. He sure does know what Grimmjow would if he found out.

"Okay, good. Now, I will tell you this once, so listen well. You and Grimmjow were destined to fight along beside each other, no matter what. So, you must make sure to take care of one another if you wanna survive. If one of you dies, the other with die of heartbreak."

What? How is this possible? Why must it be me and Grimmjow?

"Because it was fate. Do not let this ever go from your mind, for it will help you in the future. But alas, I must go. My time here is up, and I bid you farewell, moon child." And with that said, he faded away into sand. Razar blew away just like that.


End of Flash Back


"Runt." I heard someone snarl out. I turn my blue orbs to Grimmjow who was now standing up. He glared down at me. "Time to get up."

I stood and waited. Grimmjow then took some steps forward as he lead us both. I followed.

The smooth sand underneath my feet was cool. My paw dug into the ground as they claimed to have stepped here when leaving a print in the ground. My head faced forward with my chest out.

Grimmjow glanced back at me with a scowl. I scoff. He turned back and continued to lead forth. But, I can tell that we were not going the same way alone.

My ear twitched as I focused on trying to hear if something was moving. I paused when I did hear something. Grimmjow stopped as well, his ears pricked up. He must've heard the same noise I heard.

It sounded like…well…someone running and skidding at the same time.

And then that's when we heard a whisper sounding like…'Die!'

Then that's when it happened, both me and Grimmjow moved out the way as something came charging right at us. It cursed when realizing that we moved.

We both turned to see other hollows. But they weren't just any hollows, they were Adjuchas-class Menos as well. There were five of them in total. All different shapes and sizes.

Though, one of the tall ones of the group stepped forward. It's eyes were narrowed as it stared down at us. The creature looked eel-like with some sort of shark head.

"What's this?" It sounded like a 'he' as he asked with his large shadow casting over us. He was staring down to observe us.

"You're tiny little Adjuchas, aren't you?" We said nothing. Me and Grimmjow looked at one another before turning back to the eel-like Adjuchas.

"Sorry, but I'm gonna have to eat you." He said.

Grimmjow scowls and I begin to growl. My tail in the air and my feet ready to pounce. I narrowed my eyes and waited.

After waiting so long, me and Grimmjow started to attack the other hollows. Biting off pieces and chunks of them. I watched as Grimmjow attacked the one that threatened to eat us.

He turned blue and roared out as he jumped high in the air and bit a chunk of the guys mask. Grimmjow landed on all fours behind him.

"Bastard!" The eel-like hollow shouted out as he squirmed in pain from the attack.

"What? He got Di Roy just like that!" One of the other hollows said. So, guy that threatened us was named Di Roy. Interesting…Though, it was too bad that I didn't get a chance to show my power off like Grimmjow did. It would've been a nice workout.

"This is a first. So there are guys like him around?" One of the others said. I turned my head the other way and growled, having them spot me as well.

The tall and skinny one walked up to Grimmjow as he was chewing on some of the other hollows. He's lucky that he gets a snack to eat on.

"You are strong. What is your name, Adjuchas?" The skeleton one asked.

Grimmjow chewed and swallowed, glancing my way. "Grimmjow." He muttered.

"I am Shawlong." He then glanced my way. "You?" Though he didn't sound like he cared to know my name at all.

I lift my head up and stepped up beside Grimmjow. "I'm Tsukiko." I then watched from the corner of my eye and see Grimmjow beginning to turn and walk away from this group.

"Join us, Grimmjow and Tsukiko." He said at last. Though he pointed his voicing to Grimmjow mostly.

Grimmjow paused, with his eyes narrowed.

"You won't go unrewarded."

And then all of them appeared before us and bowed to Grimmjow. I guess his power had shown them something we both didn't see. Grimmjow lifted his head up at that. My ear twitched in annoyance.

He then turned to face the wise, Shawlong. "What's the idea?" Grimmjow asked.

"We do no plan living our lives as Gillian or Adjuchas. We will climb to the top, and become Vasto Lordes. But we need power for that to happen. A strong power to guide us." Shawlong said as he held his hand out to the moon. He looked like he was trying to hold it.

He turned to look down at Grimmjow. "You are worthy of that role. Come with us, Grimmjow." He closed his fist and then pointed at the panther. "You will be our king, Grimmjow."

I rolled my eyes at that. Figures. Grimmjow glanced my way and smirked. He has found a way to gloat more around me about how he is a king and how much more powerful he is than me.

I shake my head, with my tail lowered a bit as I looked around at the new faces. This is going to be a long journey, and I'm the only girl of the group. This sucks for me.

"Hey, runt!" Grimmjow shouted out. I turn. His eyes showed delight and pride.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Guess who's the king now?" He grunted out.

"Who?" Even though I knew the answer, Grimmjow would still answer back even if I didn't reply back to him.

"Me. And now you know who's the strongest of the group!" He shouted out, still having that same cocky smirk.

I sigh and turn the other way as our new traveling group were introducing each other. It's already worse to be by Grimmjow's side forever, but now I have to deal him being a cocky king. What more could happen now?

The fighting scene is going to be happening in the next chapter, and that's when the fight shall begin! Cat against cat! Espada against former Espada! Enemy against enemy! Ah, I think you get it. XP

And for those who were wondering, yeah, this is going to happen before Orihime, so, Grimmjow won't be as strong as he once was. But after this fight, they will go get Orihime and then Grimmjow will get his arm back. And of course, I shall add some romance into the story between Tsukiko and Grimmjow.

Sorry for not updating soon! But, now I'm back and we shall continue the story. Thank you to those who reviewed, it was much appreciated. I hope that you're prepared for the next chapter which is the fight scene! And I'll see ya then! Until next time!

Thanks,

Yachiru Hatake
