Horses gallop wildly across the path like thunder crashing in the sky; they whined and howled like the wind on a stormy night. Camera's flashed like lightning and like rain the crowed awed and shouted with glee as the Jockeys raced for the finish line.

"And Zangetsu takes the lead followed by Senbonzakura, no wait Senbonzakura is now in the lead followed by Katen Kyōkotsu!" called out the host over the intercom.

Dust and dark clouds of smoke rose from the ground as the horses galloped making them look like angry clouds. A woman of average height with fair skin and long, light, wavy brown hair down to her back rode on a radiant black horse with brown highlights, a white halo around the chest and black tattered like white cuffs. It was a beautiful Arabian horse with ragged black hair.

"Come Zangetsu... Run.. Run!" Said the rider causing the horse to whine as it picked up it's pace.

"Zangetsu is picking up it's pace and Senbonzakura is slowly falling back!" The host cried out in excitement. "Ladies and gentleman, this is going to be close!"

Senbonzakura was a pure bread dark brown Arabian horse with a silver ribbon and the most beautiful blue eyes; it's owner had shoulder length black hair with bluish-purple eyes. A single kenseiken blew in the wind as they raced; baring a smile on his face, he raced the woman at high speeds.

The finish line was near and the other racers were struggling to pick up speed; Katen Kyōkotsu was a dark quarter horse with strangely turquoise eyes and curly purple hair her rider had matching eyes, glasses and black long braid. They were catching up pretty quickly making the female rider grin sharply.

The three horses galloped in simultaneously in a row, the finish line drawing closer and closer. More dust began to toss in the air as the horses stormed dangerously through the track. Fans screamed people cried out and the host was going crazy with her was in front of who.

Masaki Kurosaki smiled at her adversary's, Sōjun Kuchiki caught her gaze and let his eyes narrow while Lisa Yadōmaru did her best to keep focus on the track. Lifting her body up to gain more speed, Zangetsu began to get in front of the other two horses.

The crowed went wild as the woman began to take the lead, her almond eyes glistening as her scarf danced like angelic wings; she looked as though she was riding a Pegasus instead of a horse.

A sudden scream quickly caught her attention as a small figure fell onto the tracks, bright sunset hair and big glistening chocolate eyes stared at her from the race track floor. Tear wielded in the boy's eyes as he gripped his arm from the fall he had experienced.

"M-mommy...?" he whispered causing the woman to almost instinctively turn her horse.

Zangetsu whined loudly as he was accidentally turned into Senbonzakura way causing the horse to crashed into it's side; the impact was like slamming two bricks into each other causing Masaki to be thrown over towards the other riders while Sōjun was shot off and crashing onto the other side of the track.

Lisa squealed loudly as Sōjun fell right in front of her horse; pulling her horse instinctively to prevent herself from killing him, Katen not only smashed Sōjun's face in with her powerful stomps but also flipped over crushing the woman in a bellowing cry as she fell on her back.

Masaki's eyes widened as she witnessed her adversaries and closest friends get killed almost instantly; scrambling to her feet, blood dripped down her head as another horse stepped and snapped her leg as it also flipped over with yet another Jockey.

The woman screamed as all of a sudden one after another each of the horses came crashing down causing the crowed to shriek as family members and friends get crushed by the massive beasts. Fearful chocolate eyes stare warily at the whole scene unfold at once in front of him, blood covered the floor and shrieks filled the air.

Sōjun's face had a gap in it as his body twitched without him breathing; Lisa was still screaming from under her horse, her bones making abnormal cracking sounds as her horse strives to stand up. Masaki despite being broken still managed to pull herself out from under the mass creature and hurdling towards her son.

The boy seemed petrified as he just stood there watching an angry horse as black as night with radiant blood red eyes storming towards him; the owner had no control what so ever over the horse, however as soon as it was a foot near the boy the rider pulled the horse with all his might making it stand on it's back legs.

It shrieked like thunder and the child screamed as it came smashing down with revenge; inches before the kid was hit, Masaki pushed her one and only son out of the way getting hit point blank by the horses fierce force.

"MOM!" The child shrieked in a piercing cry.

"News Flash: Nine year old kid kills seven riders and eleven horses. Several of the survivors are wounded severely and one of them blind..." said a paper boy as he passes out a couple of news papers. " Cornelius Jaegerjaquez wins the Jockey championship!" the kid continued.

Floods of people form an angry mod around a small house, rocks are thrown, windows are broken and even some evil people threw in some explosives. The people in the house were scared to death; Isshin held onto his three children protectively as he dialed 9-1-1. There was no answer as the telephone lines were now cut.

"Shit..." he cursed from beneath his breath as he kept his children close.

"Daddy, whats happening?" asked on of his darling daughters with dark hair like his.

"Don't worry everything is going to be ok, daddy is here!" he said moving back with them into a corner.

Another explosion caused the children to scream.

"Daddy I'm scared." cried the other little girl as she held on tightly; her hair was more like her mothers.

"I know baby, I know..." he said trying his best to think of a way out.

"D-daddy...?" asked the orange haired boy startling his father a bit.

His son had his mothers face, but exotic orange hair; his wrist was wrapped up due to his fall and he was pointing at something.

"Why is there smoke in the house?" he asked.

Isshin paused as smoke began to fill the kitchen, another explosive crashed through the window and Isshin stared in shock.

"Get down!" he screamed as the explosive automatically went off with a crashing explosive...

Eight years later...

A bullets shot and the horses were off again, a man with exotic messy blue hair stared in annoyance as the young horse racers went all out racing each other. He seemed rather irritated as he stretched out.

"You don't seem too interested Grimmjow." said a cocky voice from behind.

The blunet known as Grimmjow looked back at the strangely pink haired man before sighing as he looked back in front.

"This place is boring as hell..." he grunted unamused by the whole situation.

The pink haired man chuckled as his whisky colored eyes stared back into Grimmjow's saphire like eyes.

"Well I know somethin that might as well cheer you up." he responded waving a pair of tickets in front of Grimmjow with an amused grin.

The blunet watched him wave the tickets and sighed as he took them; reading the label, he slightly smirked.

"You got tickets to a rodeo?" he asked.

"Yup and to the best one yet, I herd that Sosuke Aizen was going to be the main host." The man said in amusement.

"Great..." the blunet rolled his eyes as he sounded quite unamused again.

"And you should both be very humble about it... Grimmjow, Szayel!" called another voice from behind.

The two looked back and Tousen walked over seeming quite serious.

"The rodeo is tomorrow, however the guest of honor is still on the road. You two being one of our most skilled horse riders are going to be accompanying the other espadas on a quest to capture him." Tousen directed.

Szayel eye's widened in shock for a brief moment.

"Oh so does that means that my calculations work and we found him?" he asked.

Tousen only nodded in response.

"This is B-S..." Grimmjow stated. "This demon should have been dead a long time ago and besides this thing is only a rumor."

"Ah, but that's what they want you to believe, when in reality it is a legend..." Szayel corrected him as Tousen cleared his throat.

"You'll make your appearance in an hour so don't be late." Tousen said strictly as he turned to walk away.

Tousen was now blind, but he used to be a great rider; training students to be the best was what he loved now ever since he lost his horse. Walking nearby the stables a bunch of young kids were getting off there saddles.

"Hitsugaya, Abarai, Kuchiki, Kira and Hinamori... good work out there, Histugaya you most of all have been the most outstanding with your horse." he complimented causing the white haired boy to nod weakly.

"Thank you sir..." the albino known as Toshiro Hitsugaya responded.

"Today all of you will be joining the higher league on a quest, you will watch and witness one of our finest men and women ride and as well catch a glimpse of the prize for tomorrows rodeo."

The group cheered joyfully, minus the bite size albino whom seemed more occupied in watching his own precious horse.

"Now, I would like all of you to go get prepared..." he said and then paused. "Where's our stable boy?" he asked.

"Oh well Hanatarou just had an accident last week, apparently he isn't going to come by till another month or so." the young girl known as Rukia Kuchiki said slightly ashamed.

"I heard that Ichimaru was having an interview right now..." Kira commented and Tousen crossed his arms.

"How interesting... Oh well, hopefully this fool would be better than the last." he commented as he turned to leave.

"Oh I see... So you live with Kūgo Ginjō huh?" asked Gin Ichimaru as he scanned up and down the job application.

"I do..." responded a soft yet melancholic voice.

Turquoise eyes slowly peaked open to take full view of the exotic ginger that stood before him.

"Kurosaki Ichigo... it's been almost eight years since I've heard that name. You know that this job could get you in particularly killed, right? I don't believe the other riders or fans would want to see you near horses." The man said coldly.

"I know, but I need the job; I can't keep doing dishes or bar tending for a living..." the teen responded.

"So you think that serving in the stables may somehow redeem your sins?" the man asked reading the teen like an open book.

The teen glared darkly as he asked this and the man chuckled.

"I love your enthusiasm... You got the job, however keep it in mind that it doesn't mean you are forgiven..." he said shaking the boy's hand.

Glancing at the floor, the boy snatched his hand back; he seemed to be very feisty which only intrigued the silver haired man's interest even more.

"Why don't you start by cleaning up after the crew, there's a little event going on and so everyone is leaving early and seeing as though tomorrows Rodeo day you got the chance to either work for extra pay or take the day off with a free day no pay." Gin said coldly and yet as if everything was just jolly.

"I don't attend Rodeos, I will be working..." Ichigo said before he stood up and turned to leave.

Annoyed blue eyes stared out into the wide open filled of wild horses, there was nothing abnormal about the herd they were all pretty normal colors and all doing what horses did best. There were big one's small one's and all wild, not one was tamed; this field was a protected area of Japan and yet here they were looking for the white demon: Shiro I Akuma.

Grunting a bit to himself, the blunet didn't even know if this thing had actually existed; rumors say that it looked like some sort of unicorn, how ever when it ran it was as if it could fly like a Pegasus.

There was only one horse that could run like that; Zangetsu was considered the most radiant horse in the whole world; Grimmjow saw it personally before when he was a child, when he galloped he looked like he was actually flying as if invisible wings gave him speed.

"Day dreaming?" asked Szayel.

The blunet slightly jumped and looked back at Szayel annoyedly.

"Don't do that shit!" he yelled causing his own horse to grunt.

Looking back down at Pantera, he slightly smirked in amusement; Pantera is a pure bread Arabian horse and is about eight years old, he looked black as night with cyan blue eyes, white feet, raven hair and tail.

He was the colt of Kishire his fathers Champion horse and Suzumebachi the third fastest horse in all of Japan. The Shihōin horse received the title of the fastest horse, second was Senbonzakura and now seeming as though no other horse is around, Suzumebachi is now the fastest.

Pantera slightly whined and Grimmjow held back his reins.

"Woah, steady now..." he said wondering what could have spooked him out.

Szayel also pulled Fornicarás's reins as well as she was also a bit uneasy, Szayel unlike most of them did steeple chasing and so Fornicarás was more of a jumper than a runner. She was a beautiful silver horse with bluish grey hair, she was also a pure bread Arabian horse however she was only five years old.

"Every time Pantera misbehaves Fornicarás has to do the same..." Szayel complained looking back at Grimmjow slightly annoyed.

Grimmjow chuckled knowing that Fornicarás had a thing for Pantera; it was because of this that Szayel would always tease him for his own horses misbehavior.

"I'm glad we're all getting along here..." said a cold, but callous voice.

The two turned to see the one and only Sosuke Aizen, the richest man in all Japan and the best gambler as well. He was sitting on his well known Kyōka Suigetsu, the most beautiful known horse alive. It really looked as though it was bathed in gold, it looked so silky and shiny that it made some lady's legs look shameful.

It's white wavy hair danced in the wind as a few other horses joined in with Aizen. Grimmjow hated the guy, he and his father always worked together and it made him nervous. Ever since his father won the championship, he'd been pushing Grimmjow to race.

Aizen's elite was called the espadas; he used to race for the soul reapers, but he betrayed them and took a few of their men down with him. The soul reapers were still good, but not as good seeing as though most of there best members either left or died. There were others, but besides the soul reapers they weren't really much of a challenge.

"So far there's no sign of him..." Said Ichimaru with disappointment as he watched the night sky descend.

"He'll show up alright... and this time, we'll be ready." Aizen responded.

All of the espada members were now present, each and every one of them had a number on them; Grimmjow holding number six while his friend was lucky number eight. The top four were the most dangerous and as well in the most advanced races, however they all seemed like complex weirdos to Grimmjow.

Starrk, Barragan, Halibel, Ulquiorra, Nnoitra, Grimmjow, Zammari, Szayel, Aaroniero and Yammy were the top ten, Luppi was number eleven and Aizen was hoping to train Toshiro into number twelve. Barragan was finally retiring after the rodeo, which meant that some serious changes would be hapening.

The top ten were most of their parents or family members, but Barragan was the only original with no relatives or personal friends to hand over the reins. He was also one of the survivors of the tragedy alongside Grimmjows father.

"I don't understand what's so good about this horse that we had to invade private property..." Kuchiki commented sadly causing Ichimaru to smile as a thick fog slowly descended in the moonlight.

"How interesting, so you haven't herd the rumors..?" Gin asked in amusement. "Shiro I Akuma is known as the white devil, he is said to be as fast as lightning and as wild as a beast. It is also said to be one of the most radiant horses looking more so like some fairy tail like horse, with a dangerous attitude." he began.

"Rumor has it that this stallion is the alpha of all the wild horses in the world and that he is so ferocious that he cannot be tamed. Interesting enough this horse only appears during a full moon almost every spring; no one knows what it's looking for, however whom ever seems to cross his way normally are trampled and killed instantly." The man stated bluntly.

"Which mean's newbies should stay in the back and stay on your horses, no falling off cause we're not sure what this thing is capable of." Gin continued causing a few of the newbies to look very uncomfortable and Grimmjow rolled his eyes.

"Sounds like a load of crap..." he said when all of a sudden, the horses all began to whine loudly as they slightly panicked. Grimmjow looked a bit suspicious as Aizen slightly chuckled.

"Looks like our guest has finally arrived." Aizen said calmly.

The herd of horses all suddenly began to pick up their paces as they began to run as a group the other way as the crews own horses began to wail as a few even attempted to run off.

"Keep calm." Aizen directed as even his own horse seemed a tad uneasy.

A loud and echoing shriek was bellowed from the mist, it was loud and strangely watery like unlike any other horse. Gin frowned at the sound and then smirked as he looked back at the others.

"Sure sounds like a demon..." he commented.

"Espadas ready." Aizen called out. "We're going to corner it exactly how we practiced..."

Grimmjow's eyes narrowed as it was difficult to see; he himself had caught about twenty wild horses before and so he wasn't really afraid, but this horse was something else. It didn't even sound like a horse.

Keeping calm, the group could see and hear something coming their way at tops speed; it sounded like thunder and before they knew it, it was right in front of them. Horses cried and a few of the newbies screamed as the frightening beast bulldozer it's way past them and even knocking a few horses down. It was indeed very strong and yet Grimmjow couldn't really get a good look at it.

"Surround him!" Aizen commanded now on the floor after his horse had been knocked down.

The espadas were off and Grimmjow could feel the excitement brewing up deep inside his gut; all ten of them were trying to catch up to this horse and yet it was so damn fast that it was as if they were chasing a sly fox instead.

The horse, suddenly turned it's head and turned around almost as if it was aware of what we were trying to do. Charging head on at all of us, we all pulled our horses out of it's way.

"This horse is insane!" Yammy our Bronc riding champ called out.

"That's the fun of it!" Szayel said just as amused as Grimmjow was.

The two switch gazes before pulling their horses simultaneously.

"Nnoitra, take the other end." Grimmjow called out as they made a row charging head on against the white demon.

The wild stallion looked back and almost instantly took the challenge, running at full speed ahead Gin's eyes opened in shock.

"What do they think their doing?" Gin asked knowing that Grimmjows and Nnoitras horse would be fine, but szayel's horse being in the middle would only get the other two horses killed.

Aizen only smiled as his eyes closed.

"Ha!" Grimmjow cackled as he pulled out his rope, Nnoitra also laughed in pure amusement as he pulled out his own as well.

Szayel on the other hand had no rope as he galloped closer and closer; his heart beating rapidly in his chest as he saw the crazy beast inching closer and closer.

"Now!" Called out Grimmjow.

Within seconds, Szayel's horse made the most impressive leap up and over the savage beast; two ropes quickly wrapped around the beasts neck and with one hard pull, both Grimmjow and Nnoitra were tugged off their own horses.

Reaching the other side with ease, Szayel gasped as he saw both horses without their riders.

"Oh dear..." muttered the pink haired rider as he looked back.

The white demon seemed to have been enjoying himself as it ran with the two through the sharp grass around the hard rocks and dragging them around the dirt. The two boy's were screaming, but they both refused to let go.

Having had enough of this game, Halibel suddenly slammed Tiburon one of the most biggest horses into the rabid-horse knocking it into Los lobos; Starrk horse. Two more ropes went around it and yet instead becoming submissive, the horse became even more hostile as it backed up and began to pull both horses.

Halibel and Starrk both grunted as their horses tried to hold their ground; the beast was not that big and yet it was carrying over 2200 lbs, two horses and four people another rope went around the neck and Sciffer pulled forward in order to pull it towards the truck.

Yellow eyes glowed from the mist of the darkness and with a sudden stand on it's back legs, the three horses were dropped to their knees. Aizen frowned at this, if they didn't do something soon, the beast would in fact harm his racers.

"Get the sedatives." Aizen directed and causing Gin to take out his gun.

"Of course." he responded taking aim.

Grimmjow and Nnoitra both tried to get to their feet, but a sudden kick to the face sent Nnoitra to the side screaming. Grimmjow stared in disbelief before finally releasing the rope to go for Nnoitra's aid.

The wild horse noticed this far too quickly and was about to slam full force into Grimmjow when Pantera slammed his own body into him knocking the other horse down. Shiro fell and actually rolled back onto it's feet with ease pulling the other three ropes down with it and breaking free.

Yammy en-caged the horse from behind with his big Percheron, he stood at 19.2hh and weighed 3300 pounds which was three times the weight of an Arabian horse and 5. hh taler as well. Szayel came from the other side and so did nine and seven from the opposite sides.

Surrounding the horse like lions to a pray, the horse slammed it's head back and actually budged Yammy's horse; Yammy himself was 7'6'' and yet he weighed 667 lbs and yet the white demon with little effort was capable of slamming 3967 lbs with almost little effort.

The riders all gasped as they tried to keep it closed in and yet that horse was becoming more and more hostile and it began to slam it's body around. A gun shot went off and the horse whined a watering cry as it fought even harder. Gin frowned as he shot two more sedatives at the horse, giving it a good over dose to calm it down.

"My-my he is a dangerous one... he's more like a bull than a horse in my own opinion." Gin commented as the horse began to wobble and fall down towards it's knees.

Szayel almost instantly got off his horse and ran with Grimmjow towards Nnoitra whom was holding his face in pain.

"Aizen-sama, he needs medical attention!" Szayel cried.

Aizen quickly ran over followed by Gin and Tousen whom was very quite. The students all stayed quite as the espadas also went for their teammates aid. Grimmjow's eyes only widened as he saw all the blood pouring from Nnoitra's eye, turning around towards the white demon a chill went down his spine.

The rumors were true: The horse was a silky and shimmering white which could rival Kyōka Suigetsu, it's beautiful long white hair gave it the mystical appearance of a unicorn. The silk like threads danced in the air like clouds and it's tail was twice the length of a normal horses tail.

Black cuffs surrounded it's feet very similar towards draft horse with a more Arabian like slender body, strangely two black line-like stripes stretching vertically across the horses eyes like some sort of scary mask and a black halo caressing it's throat.

However it's greatest traits were it's horrifying eyes. His eyes consist of black pupils, gold irises, and black scleras. Watching Grimmjow with those horrifying eyes, it let out another echoing cry before finally settling down from the drugs.

"What the hell is this demon?" Grimmjow finally muttered beneath his breath.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Yelled an angry tall and lean built man.

"So I got a dumb ass job working in the stables so what?" The carrot top argued as he stormed through the house with the dark haired man trailing behind him.

"Don't think I don't know what your trying to pull, I didn't take you in just to loose you like the others!" The man argued.

"Kugo Leave me alone!" Ichigo yelled.

The man grunted before grabbing the 5'9'' teen by his collar and slamming him against the wall startling him.

"Your parents are dead, your sister is dead, your other sister may not make it and none of your relatives are willing to take care of you like I am. I am not about to let you go kill yourself!" Kugo yelled.

Brown eyes for a brief moment stared at him before looking towards the floor. Thunder crashed outside, but there wasn't a word spoken from the two of them. The clock struck twelve and a loud bong went off, echoing off the walls.

"I want to race..." Ichigo said blankly causing Kugo's grip to only tighten. "If I race I can fix all the damage I have done..."

"You know you can't bring back the dead..." Kugo said releasing his collar.

"But I can clear our family name, I can earn more money to help Yuzu... it was mom's dreams to get our name out there..." Ichigo whispered only receiving a loud crash for a response.

Kugo had punched the wall with such force that it had cracked.

"I don't give a rats ass what you think it could do, you did enough damage as it is. The only thing you could do is make it worse for yourself; you'll only end up killing yourself!" He yelled causing lightning to strike.

"But Kugo!" Ichigo yelled back almost begging to be herd out.

"No! As long as your under this roof and my authority, you will never race!" Kugo roared loudly causing the boy to back off and run up the stares.

Once there was a sound of the door opening and closing, Kugo finally sighed as he sat down on the couch; a picture frame was in front with Masaki, the woman he loved most but was married to another. His scowl almost instantly disappeared as he watched her pretty face.

"Don't worry Masaki, I'll protect your boy... I won't let no harm come to him..." he whispered talking to the picture frame.

Upstairs, the young teen had his back pressed tightly against the door; his chocolate brown eyes shimmering from the tears that threatened to come, his face was flushed and yet he refused to shed a tear as he slowly walked towards a bed.

Yuzu lied in the bed wearing multiple bandages and a medical mask, many different cords stuck into her small frame and dangled to the side. Gazing upon her sister, the ginger fell onto his knees cupping her hand.

"Don't worry... just a little longer... I'll save you..." he whispered to his unconscious sister.

"... Ichi-nee..." she mumbled in her sleep...
