HellO ^^ How are you today? That's just great. Ok, so...next chapter. You meet a new character in this chapter! ^^ YAY! Ok, that's all i'm saying. enjoy

Yura's eyes snapped open and she sat up. "Shiro!"

"Yeah." He was standing up, looking around. Yura stood up. "They're headed this way." She pulled out a soul-candy and put it in her mouth. Her Soul Reaper form came out of the gigai. Toshiro had done the same, hand already on his zanpakuto. "Go somewhere you won't get hurt!" He pointed it toward the mod souls.

"Yes." They both ran off.

"Captain!" Matsumoto jumped up onto the roof.

"Where's Orihime?" Yura asked.

"I have the mod-soul watching over her."

"Better than nothing."

Toshiro took is zanpakuto off of his back. "Prepare yourselves." Yura put her hand on her zanpakuto and narrowed her eyes.

Suddenly two figures were in front of them. Yura's eyes widened at their speed. The three of them took positions. "Nice to meet you." One of the Arrancar said. He disappeared. Yura gasped. The Arrancar reappeared and Toshiro blocked his blow.

"Captain!" Matsumoto and Yura both jumped just in time to dodge the other Arrancar's attack.

"I have a feeling this won't be easy." Yura muttered under her breath. In the corner of her eye, she watched as the Arrancar followed Toshiro somewhere else. Yura swallowed then focused on the Arrancar facing her and Matsumoto. "Think we can handle him?" She asked Matsumoto.

"Of course."

"Good enough for me!"

The Arrancar charged for the two of them. They jumped opposite ways. Yura held out her zanpakuto. A bright bolt of lightning shot out from the tip, but the Arrancar dodged. Yura gasped when he was immediately in front of her. He swung his sword, but Yura moved just in time. "Yura!"

Then the Arrancar flew toward Matsumoto. Matsumoto blocked his attack. Yura was just about to help when she noticed Toshiro's Spiritual Pressure was wavering. She turned around and could see the two. She narrowed her eyes and went towards them, leaving Matsumoto to fend for herself. When she got close enough, she pointed her zanpakuto at the Arrancar. Another bolt of lightning flew out from the tip. The Arrancar noticed and dodged just in time. Yura gritted her teeth and landed next to Toshiro.

"What are you doing?"

"Helping for once. What does it look like?"

"You shouldn't interfere!"

Yura sighed and closed her eyes. "You know, I sometimes hate when you try to control me. I am older than you. I remember times when I was about your age."

"You can tell me your story another time. If you want to fight, then go help Kurosaki. I know he needs it."

Yura's eyes widened and she looked at Toshiro. "What?"

"You heard me, didn't you?"

"You seriously want me to…ok. Fine." Yura took a quick glance at the Arrancar and took off.

Yura quickly hurried to find Ichigo. She could feel his Spiritual Pressure, but it was faint. She had hesitated in going. That meant leaving Toshiro's side instead of helping him. But she knew he could take care of himself, just like she could take care of herself. She suddenly felt a different Spiritual Pressure. She could recognize it as Rukia's. She ran as fast as she could, not wanting to use her Flash Step so she wouldn't attract attention to herself. She turned tons of corners like a never ending maze. She stopped a few times to detect the location of the Spiritual Pressure.

After what seemed like a lifetime, Yura finally found Ichigo and Rukia. Yura felt a trace of coldness and saw ice beginning to melt. Ichigo was being held down by the mod soul inside Rukia's gigai. "What happened here?"

Ichigo got the mod soul off of him and he and Rukia turned around and spotted Yura. "I thought you'd be with Toshiro." He said.

Yura closed her eyes. "Well, I was, but he sent me off to help you while he's dealing with an Arrancar. I still can't believe this is happening." She opened her eyes, but only to look away.

"It was bound to happen event-" Rukia started, but was cut off. The three of them froze at the feeling of powerful Spiritual Pressure.

Yura gasped and looked up. "Ichigo."

Ichigo turned around and his eyes widened. Up in the air was a tall guy with blue hair, blue eyes and a broken Hollow mask at his right jaw. Standing next to him was a shorter girl with short, dark purple hair that covered her left eye, yellow eyes, slightly tan, and black nails. Yura was focusing on the girl. She seemed so familiar, but at the same time a complete stranger. But what did it matter? Arrancars were her enemy.

"D-Roy's been killed? Heh. Oh well."

"Didn't think he'd last, anyway."

"In that case, looks like I'll just have to kill you three. Let me introduce myself. I'm Arrancar 6. You can call me Grimmjow!"

The girl next to him spoke again. "Arrancar 0, Mizu. Such a pleasure to meet Soul Reapers that get in our way only to be killed." She let out a not so friendly giggle. Yura glared at the girl. The two of them came down to the ground.

"Which one?" The three of them gasped. "Which one of you is the strongest? Who's gonna take me on?"

Rukia's eyes widened. "Ichigo! Get out of here! Run!"

Before anything could happen, Grimmjow was suddenly right in front of Rukia. In one swift move he stabbed her with his hand.

Yura gasped and took a small step back. Don't try, Yura!

"I figured it probably wasn't you. No surprise." He threw Rukia to the ground.

"Rukia!" Yura held Ichigo back.

"Not yet." Ichigo took a step back, hands tightly closed around his zanpakuto. Quickly, Grimmjow went after Yura. Her eyes widened, but she reacted. Just a few inches away from doing the same thing to Yura as he did to Rukia, Yura had grabbed Grimmjow's wrist and stopped him. She glared up at him. "Don't even try." She said in between gritted teeth.

Grimmjow smirked. "Well, well, well, a fast one, eh? Mizu, take care of this one, will ya?"

The girl glared at the back of his head. "Don't forget that I personally wanted to come along. I don't take orders from you."

"Just because you killed Yammy and got 'upgraded', don't forget that I was of a higher level than you."

Mizu completely ignored him. "But because of this girl's speed I'd be happy to toy around with her."

"Of course you would. Just don't come back too bloody, ok?"

She glared at him again. "I'm done listening to your big mouth! You're only wasting time. Just leave her to me and take care of this guy." Yura let go of Grimmjow's arm and backed away. Then, she took off with Flash Step. Yura stopped on top of a building only to find that the Arrancar girl, Mizu, was there. "Let's make this quick. You might be fast, but that doesn't particularly mean you're strong. Let's see if you'll be fun to toy around with, if even for awhile."

"I'm not a toy."

"Oh, but depending on your strength you might just be. Now I would like to stop talking and I want you to fight me already."

Yura positioned herself and pulled out her zanpakuto. "My pleasure."

Yura and Mizu faced each other off in a stare down. "I'm waiting, Soul Reaper."

"If you don't know how it works out in the battle field, then let me give you a quick lesson. The opponent who causes the battle shall strike first. That would be you."

The Arrancar raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? Well then…" Mizu disappeared from Yura's vision.

Move to your right.

Yura did as told and Mizu appeared at the same moment, arm outstretched and hand in the position Grimmjow's was when he stabbed Rukia. "Hm. You are fast. I'm going to enjoy toying around with you."

"This isn't a game, Arrancar. If you want to fight me, then you will do so. So fight me already."

Mizu closed her eyes and shook her head. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Also a bossy one." Mizu snapped her eyes open. "I don't like to be bossed around!" Mizu swung out her leg and kicked Yura in her gut. Yura flew backward and landed on the street. She opened her eyes and sat up. She noticed that her zanpakuto was lying a few yards away. Mizu was walking toward her. "You might be fast, but you're not strong."

Mizu grabbed Yura by her throat and lifted her up. She held her up against the side of a building. Yura held onto Mizu's arm, trying to pull her hand away. Mizu tilted her head and observed Yura. "I was so hoping this would be an entertaining fight, but it was too fast. This is why I hate Soul Reapers. They're weak!"

Yura! Yura gasped when she felt the howl of Denakuma. It's Toshiro! Yura narrowed her eyes. By the way Denakuma howled, she knew that Toshiro was seriously injured. That everyone was seriously injured. You mustn't think of him now. You're in a serious battle!

"Seems like Shawlong is slowly killing your friend. Don't worry. You'll join him soon enough."

Despite the fact that she was being choked, Yura smirked. "Think again." Yura tightened her grip around Mizu's arm and sent an electric current traveling through her.

Mizu yelped and let go of Yura. Mizu glared at Yura. "What is this power?"

With blood trickling down the side of her face, Yura narrowed her eyes at Mizu. "I don't always need my zanpakuto when in battle. You should never judge people right away. You never know what power they might be hiding underneath."

Mizu glared at her. "I'll tear you to shreds!"

"Try me!"

Mizu smirked. "You don't want to test me, Soul Reaper. You'll regret it."

"Will I? I'm always looking for a challenge. So far, you're not too much of a challenge. You're just a diversion, wasting my time."

"You little…and you think you're a challenge to me?"

"You want a challenge? Fine….Release that zanpakuto of yours."

Mizu closed her eyes and smirked. "You're insane if you think I'd release it now."

Yura raised an eyebrow. "You won't? Oh, what a shame. I guess that means I don't have to release me Bankai."

Mizu's eyes widened with interest. "Bankai? So, this means I'm dealing with someone at a Captain's level, am I? Yet, you're not a captain. You never introduced yourself."

"No, no. We talk too much. I'm ready to fight."

"I'm only asking for your introductory."

Yura sighed. "3rd seat of Squad 10, Yura Yamoda."

"Only a 3rd seat, such a pity. Release your Bankai, Soul Reaper."

Yura rolled her eyes and walked over to where her zanpakuto was lying. "And you call me bossy? Check yourself."

Mizu gritted her teeth. "Shut up!"

Yura smiled. She was irritating the Arrancar. It was a good thing. If she kept this going, the Arrancar might drop her guard and Yura could get in a good hit if nothing else. Yura picked up her zanpakuto and flipped it in her hand. "Do you mind if I ask you a question, Arrancar?"

Mizu narrowed her eyes. "Only because I'll be killing you soon enough."

"Why is it…you hate Soul Reapers, but your actions toward Aizen are so obedient, obviously?"

"Lord Aizen hates other Soul Reapers as much as we hate them. Why not create a new world where we can rid Soul Reapers? We're tired of them. Lord Aizen has a great vision for the future and I will follow him if it means survival, not that anyone could kill me. I'll admit, Lord Aizen can get on my nerves at times, but like I said. It's for my own survival."

Yura smiled again. "Your friend seems to be the same."

"Grimmjow? That idiot? Please. He only wants to kill Soul Reapers. Sure, that's wonderful for him, but he doesn't quite understand our true intention for the Soul Society and the World of the Living!" Yura gasped at the sense of powerful Spiritual Pressure. Mizu looked away and focused on it. "What is this?"

Yura noticed what it was. The limit release. She also felt Ichigo's Spiritual Pressure, but it was faint. Because Mizu was distracted, Yura took that opportunity to strike. She held out her zanpakuto and a lightning bolt aimed for Mizu. When the dust cleared away, Mizu wasn't there. Yura's eyes widened. She felt something sharp and cold slice across her back.

Yura screamed and fell to her knees. "You think just because I was distracted that means you could attack me, Soul Reaper? Hm, you're brave, but that so-called braveness will get you killed! Learn something!"

Yura's eyes flashed blue. "This is nowhere near over, Arrancar."

Mizu raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"

In one swift move, Yura stood up, turned around and sliced her zanpakuto across the Arrancar. Mizu gasped when blood ran down her right cheek and neck. Then Yura plunged her zanpakuto into Mizu's gut. "Try telling me to learn something again. If there's anyone that needs to learn something, it's you. Don't mess with a powerful Soul Reaper." Yura's arm buzzed with power. That electric current traveled through both her arm and zanpakuto. Mizu yelled as the electric current traveled throughout her entire body. As she violently twitched, Mizu grabbed onto the blade of Yura's zanpakuto, and pulled it out of her stomach. Blood trickled down Mizu's stomach and she glared at Yura.

"I hate Soul Reapers. They always think they're stronger despite their weakness!"

Yura's eyes widened when she noticed an illuminating silver glow come from Mizu's right hand. Even though the color was different, she knew what it was. "Cero!" The light grew and Mizu blasted it at Yura. Yura didn't have time to react. The Cero made contact with Yura and she flew. At least half a mile away, Yura hit a building. Rubble was piled on top of her as she lay on the ground, bleeding. Her vision was becoming fuzzy, but she saw Mizu approaching her.

Mizu towered over her. "I'm impressed you managed to stab me, let alone cut me. But because you didn't release your full power, you couldn't even cut off one of my limbs. That would've been impressive. But I'm disappointed." Mizu grabbed Yura and lifted her up. "Such a shame. I'm going to have to kill you now." Mizu lifted up her right hand, summoning Cero again.

Yura, now!

Yura concentrated on the last bit of strength she had left. "I'm not dying today."

Yura put the flat of her hand toward Mizu. Mizu's eyes widened when she noticed the blue light forming in Yura's hand. Before she could react, a giant lightning bolt shot from Yura's hand and hit Mizu. Mizu let go of Yura and went flying back. When the dust cleared away, Mizu was still standing, but she was twitching violently and had bleeding puncture holes all over her body.

Mizu growled at Yura. "This isn't over, Soul Reaper! I'll be back to kill you off." With that, Mizu disappeared and Yura blacked out.

A/N: SO, what do you think of Mizu? ok? average? pretty cool? epic? *shrug* just let me know. oh, and i don't own Mizu, by the way. She's my friend's OC. I hope you liked it. REVIEW!
