Chapter 2

I saw an Arrancar who had icy blue hair. His hair was spiked upwards and behind. His outfit was an open jacket and pants. I could see his Hollow hole on his stomach. He had his hands in his pockets as he passed me. "Something about him seems familiar..." I said to myself as he turned around. "Hey there." He said with a devilish grin. "Uh... Hi." I said to him, completely creeped out.

"Your name wouldn't be Madoka Kobayashi, now would it?"

"Yes that's r- have we met before?" I asked, getting scared."Yeah, we have... you know that panther that tried to kill ya in the desert? That was me..." I looked at him, alarmed. "You couldn't be.." I said, backing away slowly. "Yeah, I am... now we're both Arrancar... But I'm so much more.." He said smugly. "More?" I asked, confused.

"Yeah." He turned around and showed me a number six on his back. "I'm an Espada." he grinned. "I see." I turned around. "Well I'll be off now." I said starting to walk off. "Not so fast. I wanna see how strong you are, Madoka." he grinned. "Are you sure about that?" I smirked. "Yeah, let's do it.." he replied as we walked out into the desert.

"Alright, here are the rules. Hand-to-hand only. No Ceros, no Balas, and no Zanpakuto." Grimmjow told me. I nodded, got into a fighting stance, and gestured to bring it on as he charged at me. I dodged his attack and kicked him into the wall. "You bastard!" he growled at me as I charged him, dodging his attempt at a counterattack and giving him an uppercut to the jaw, almost hitting his mask fragment. He rubbed his jaw.

"How the hell are you able to hit me? You're a lowly Arrancar, I'm an Espada!" he asked fiercely. "Maybe I'm stronger than you." I replied. "How can that be? I became an Arrancar long before you did!" he told me.

I only shrugged as Grimmjow attacked me again. This time I put my hands into my pockets and drove his face into the sand with the heel of my foot. I stared at him for a moment and then walked back inside. He stood up slowly. "This isn't over... I will kill you... Madoka Kobayashi." Grimmjow snarled and walked inside. I passed Aizen and he grinned at me.

"I saw what just happened. Nice work." he said to me. "Well that was just revenge for him scaring me off." I said to Aizen walking away.

I continued walking and heard a scream. I turned towards a hallway and ran towards the sound. I saw Nnoitra moving towards a green haired girl with a suspicious-looking pink-haired guy. The girl's mask fragment looked like a goat's skull, and it was on top of her head.

Nnoitra glared at me. "What the hell do you want?" he asked me. "Okay I have a couple of questions... question number one, why are you picking on this girl Squiggles?" I asked Nnoitra. "She deserves it!" he snapped at me.

"Okay, question two: Is he gay?" I asked staring at the pink guy. "I'm not gay!" he shouted. "Then why is your hair pink?" I asked with a smirk. "Just shut up and let me kill her!" Nnoitra interrupted. "I don't think so, Squiggles." I said to Nnoitra.

"I'm. Not. Squiggles." Nnoitra said slowly continuing to move closer towards the green haired girl. I kicked Nnoitra's Zanpakuto out of his hands. "I thought I told you to leave her alone, Nnoitra." I said seriously. "You brat! I'll kill yo-" I interrupted Nnoitra with a punch delivered with force straight into his stomach, sending him flying back away from the girl. T

he girl looked at me, her face stained with tears. "Are you okay?" I asked her softly. She said nothing and just hugged me tight. "Thank you! Thank you!" she said to me, tears still flowing freely from her face. "I..can't...breath..." I said weakly. She let go and wiped her tears away. "I apologize." she said with a smile. "No worries. I'm Madoka." I told her.

"I'm Neliel, but you can just call me Nel!" she smiled looking at me, her amber eyes catching the light in a perfect way that made her eyes glitter. "Why were those two picking on you?" I asked Nel. Nel looked down. "Nnoitra thinks that females shouldn't be a higher rank than males." she said slowly.
"What number Espada are you?" I asked. Nel turned around, unzipped her jacket and showed me the large number three on her back. "I'm the third Espada." Nel said putting her jacket back on. "Well I have to get going, thanks again Madoka!" Nel smiled and left.
