A cold breeze blew through the junk yard, howling as it passed by. It tossed her bangs into her face, blocking the bird's eye view she had of the area. Scowling she tucked her hair behind her ears, pulling up her hood in an attempt to block out the wind and noise. Scanning the area she quickly located the young blonde that had just entered the area. The cold metal of the snipers rifle stung her fingers nutshell didn't shake, she couldn't afford to miss. To much was riding on this chance, menoly would run straight to him and things would go downhill from there. Fast. The red heads ear piece crackled with interference as it picked up the incoming call, Menoly eyeing her surroundings in search of Ichigo.

"Where the fuck are you bitch?" She shouted, looking ready to throw her phone into one of the crushed cars.

"Sorry love, no hard feelings but this had to happen," she muttered, frowning in concentration. The trigger put up no resistance as she squeezed her finger, the only thing she could hear was the steady beating of her own heart. Ichigo didn't even noticed the recoil of the gun as it smacked into her shoulder. The bullet went clean through one of Menoly's bright green eyes, one clean shot and no pain that was how she did things. Packing up the rifle she stood sighing as she pocketed the bullet casing. She dusted off her jacket before jumping down from the pile of crushed cars rifle in hand. The lone eye of the corpse was staring at her, Ichigo smashed her boot into the skull just to make it stop. Searching the pockets of the girl like she had the other man, she found her purse and phone taking both. The bullet was no where in sight, meaning the police would probably have a hard time finding it as well. If they ever noticed the body that was. Pulling out her box of cigarettes she noted the box was crushed, probably from earlier. That annoyed her more than having to destroy a corpse. She light the smoke pitching the match onto the body and watching as the clothes started to burn. Oddly enough the sight of a dead body still calmed her, for that she hated herself. Death was never a good thing. But to be calm at the sight of it was disgusting. The crunching of gravel stole her momentary calm, she turned, moving closer to the entrance of the junk yard in search of new prey.

"Kurosaki-kun," the cheerful voice surprised her, Loly wrapped her arms tightly round her waist, not wanting to let go in case the red-head disappeared.

"Loly, I never thought I'd see you again," she whispered, shock still in her system.

"I was told by an old friend that you had been killed by boss-sama. I'm so glad it isn't true." Ichigo patted her head, twisting the handle of the blade she'd sunk into the soft flesh of Loly's belly, her face devoid of emotions.

"Thing is I am dead, sorry about this Loly." A soft gasp escaped the raven's lips as she stared down at the hunting knife piercing her stomach. Ichigo pulled the knife out as she fell to her knees. Bending down, she wiped the blade clean of blood on the girls clothes.

"Why?" She asked, trembling, blood bubbling over her lips as she spoke.

"Dead man tells no tales." The smell of burning rubber invaded the air. The flames had spread to the junk before long the whole yard would ablaze. Ichigo pulled out her phone sending a quick text to Shiro, watching the flames destroy everything in sight.

It was a shame to have killed Loly but what Gin had said the other day chiled her to the very core of her being. The thought of that man ever laying a hand on her made her worst nightmares seem like nothing. But Shiro's happiness meant more to her then anything since she could no longer claim hers. Even her own sanity. Ichigo could still remember the day she met Menoly and Loly. The pair was twins like Shiro and herself but one look at them and you wouldn't even think that the two were related. The girls were polar opposites, Menoly was rather boyish in her looks with very short blonde hair, her figure was straight up and down. During her introduction to the unit, Menoly had taken one look at her and declared that she hated the berry head. She later found out that the small blonde had the biggest crush on Ulquiorra while he could only see Ichigo. Loly was her opposite in looks as well. Her body all curves, with long raven hair. People often thought she was a slut but once you started talking to her it was quite obvious that she was a very shy sweet girl who was very much in love with Ichigo. It was an argument over her that had their boss kick the girls out of the organisation, cooperation was key but the last job they had done together had gone terrible wrong. Szayel had been shot because Menoly had refused to take orders from Ichigo and didn't shut down the alarm system. Loly had left voluntarily to take care of her deranged sister. Her phone rang, pulling her back to here and now. She didn't need to dwell in the past anymore when it was slowly poisoning her future.

K"..."

"Hey Silence," Grimmjow chirped, the excitement could be heard in his voice clear as day.

"Got a brilliant idea but it would mean going up to the mountains for about week. Wanna come by and talk about it in person?" He asked. She smirked, a week away from the city seemed like a grand idea with three dead bodies behind her.

"Yeah, be there soon." With that she hung up.

To have Silence turn up at his door with a snipers rifle was one of the top five most shocking things he'd seen, second to seeing his mother gardening without a shirt. She smirked at him sitting the case on the bed, sliding her leather jacket off to reveal two glocks. One clipped to her belt, the other strapped to her chest via a holster. A girl with guns was hot and seeing her with them helped since the main theme for his next collections of works was war. She raised a brow as he continued to stare at her like a deer in the headlights. Grimmjow shook himself, running a hand thyrough his bright blue locks.

"Uhh right, on to other crap. War, hunting and all the shit that goes with it mixed with the wilderness. I own a cabin in the mountains, week should be enough to get the rough sketches done. Doing a comic book for a charity function, something to with sick kids the theme is superheroes and comics. I'd also like for ya to be my dinner partner for the evening." The last part had Grimmjow blushing, it made Ichigo think that he had never asked a girl out before. It was cute. Ichigo smiled, lighting up a cigarette; seemed like she was falling back on the habit.

"Didn't know ya smoked, guess there's a lot i don't know about you," he muttered, shocked by her once more. She shrugged,"I like an air of mystery, keeps things interesting I guess." Grimm rolled his eyes, of course she would say something like that. With a smirk he snatched the cigarette from Silence, it had been a long time since he last had a smoke.

"Okay, just give me the co-ordinates and I'll see you there tomorrow. Guns and all." Grimmjow grinned at her answer grabbing her hand to write the co-ordinates on her palm so she couldn't lose them. As he was doing this a though came to mind.

Ya've got yer gun license, yeah?" He asked, excitement for the week ahead draining a little. Silence snorted, scowling.

"Course I do. What am I? Some common criminal?" Ichigo's own words hit her pretty hard, she really was nothing more than a common criminal. Grimmjow watched her leave noticing how upset she sounded when he questioned her. It left him wondering what had happened to her in the past to make her so guarded and sad.
