This chapter is five years after Ichigo and Grimmjow met Toshiro Hitsuguya

Italics = dream

Battle cries range in the air. Blades clashed against one another. Teeth and claws ripped through soft flesh as Giant creatures run throw the fields, killing any who get in their way. Woman screamed as their children were ripped from their grasp. Warriors cried out and charged the beasts only to fall victim to either a blade or the jaws of one of the beasts and eaten alive.

Cyan pools stared out over the bloody plain watching as mortal after mortal fell before the mighty beats army.

Blood red eyes met blue from across the field and up a sheer cliff. There stood a woman, bathed in the moon light, the wind blowing her hair this way and that, covering and uncovering her face. A scowl formed on her face as she stared at the being directly across from her but well out of her reach.

She jumped, her form silhouetted in the light of the moon. Her red eyes shown in the darkness, piercing through the will of those below her. Her body rocketed to the ground. Her fist struck the earth's surface bellowing a whole in the ground that covered half the field. Beasts and men alike were sent flying, crushing into those behind them.

Cyan pools widened. This woman, how did she possess so much power?

The woman stood. Blood pooled in the air causing everything to freeze in fear. It whipped around the woman making a ring of crimson. Her eyes closed a moment, no one breathed, no one moved. Her eyes shot open, the ring expanded killing mortals and beasts a like.

Cyan pools narrowed. "Chi no akuma…." Range through the air carried by the wind.

Grimmjow's eyes shot open the words 'Chi no akuma' on his lips. What evil creatures they were; the Chi no akuma, the blood demons. They drink and blood of mortals and beasts alike. Their strength and speed were unmatched but it wasn't that that made them evil it was their ability to control any blood them came across. They could rip it from your veins and pray it from the grounds of old battle fields. One stood no chance against these beings.

Cyan pools glanced around their camp grounds, moving from one face to the next searching for anything out of the ordinary. Ichigo sat by the fire, legs crossed sword in between them and leaning on it, eyes closed and breathing evenly. Toshiro sat in the tree eyes staring up at the sky, one leg bent and the other flat against the bark, arms crossed over his small chest.

The smell of blood entered his nose, the smell so strong he jumped to his feet. Ice blue eyes darted to the panther. White ears swivelled from side to side listening. Soft fast moving footsteps sounded throughout the woods.

The panther jumped to the sleeping man curling his long body around him protectively, a growl ripping from his throat. Toshiro jumped from the tree, landed without a sound. Shift hands grabbed the teen's sword and grabbed the hilt ready to draw out the deadly blade in an instant.

"Ichigo wake up." The white haired teens whispered. The sounds of footsteps got closer and the teens stance drop lower, knees bent, back hunched forward, one elbow pulled back holding the sheath at an angle the other posed above the hilt.

Brown eyes fluttered open. "What?" Ichigo whispered back. A shadowed figure darted across in front of the fire. Slowly Ichigo got to his feet taking the same stance as Toshiro. Red eyes glinted in the darkness and four black fingers darted from the woods.

"RUN!" Grimmjow roared grabbing Ichigo by the back of his shirt with his jaws. Toshiro cursed and jumped onto the panthers back.

"Chi no akuma! They're supposed to be only live in the red woods! What are they doing here?" Toshiro yelled as Grimmjow run through the forest darted one way then another avoiding the trees.

"I don't know but we can't out run them forever!" Grimmjow growled back, jumping into the air a fist blowing a hole in the ground where he had just been. His paws landed on the ground, head looking one way then another, they were surrounded. No matter where they turned there stood a Chi no akuma dripping red.

"What do we do?" Toshiro whispered leaning into the feline's ear.

"Fight…" Was Grimmjow's hushed reply. He placed Ichigo on the ground. Toshiro Jumped from Grimmjow's pack taking up his fighting stance. Ichigo did the same. "I'll make an opening and once I do I want the two of you to get out of here. Got it?" Grimmjow ordered.

"I'm not leaving you." Ichigo replied and stood his ground.

"Have it your way…"Grimmjow growled. The demons moved in and Grimmjow's head rose in a mighty roar. His paw swept out sending many demons flying. His tail wrapped around Ichigo's waist and he threw him through the opening. Toshiro followed. "Get him out of here. Tamer!" He ordered. The white haired teen nodded and ran after the orange haired man.

Grimmjow roared, shockwaves exploding from his mouth throwing the demons back and away from the escaping pair. Blood shot out from the ground piercing the panthers flesh making him howl in pain. He shook his head, teeth barred at and the black haired demon before him.

The demon raised his hand a bloody spike shot out. "ENOUGH!" The spike stops millimetres from Grimmjow's face.

"Let him go Arii!" A famine voice echoed throughout the forest. The demon growled but dropped his hand and backed into the darkness.

Ichigo and Toshiro were thrown at the Panthers feet. A growled ripped from Grimmjow's throat. "Who a-"

"Take better care of them…" the voice faded; red eyes glinted in the distance before disappearing. Grimmjow's eyes widened. 'It's her…' He thought staring at where the being had stood.
