Clash In The Middle-Grimmjow Love Story

Chapter 8

Itsumi's P.O.V
I was grateful to see that Orihime was alright and I heard a low groan near by and looked seeing movement from Grimmjow and Orihime nudged me as I watched the fight move away and I jumped down checking on him and bit my lip knowing that if I left him to bleed out like this Ichigo would kick my butt.

I gently started bandaging his wounds and looked up when I felt a new power and was shocked seeing that Nel was no longer a child but a full grown adult. I was confused and listened as the male talked about what happened and felt sick to my stomach.

I moved Grimmjow to where he would be safe as I finished tending to his wounds and as I stood I felt him grab my hand and looked to him kneeling again. "Stay here Grimmjow; your safe here."

"Wh-Why help me? After I harmed your friends...why would...?" He started coughing and I moved to support him so he would breathe a little easier.

"Because I'm not someone that kills for fun; I hate fighting...and I hate seeing my opponents suffer without a reason. I don't kill people...I will if I have too otherwise I shatter their hopes and beliefs and let them have a new chance. For now your getting that benefit so be a king and get stronger we'll meet again one day." I got up as he passed out and pecked his forehead softly as I stood and watched the fight keeping him safe.

I could see that Nel and Ichigo were fighting in tandem with each other and smiled. "Way to go Ichigo." I whispered to myself and sighed touching Ryū as a flame barrier appeared and blocked an attack from hitting myself and Grimmjow.

I was amazed with how strong Nel was and smirked when she was obviously stronger then their opponent. I winced when I saw Ichigo flying and became worried. "Ichigo! Don't you dare die! I can't bare to loose anyone else dear to me!" Thinking of my father as I felt my heart pound in my chest. I knew I couldn't let doubt start filling me but it was hard.

I went and kept the barrier around myself and Grimmjow as I cut my hand on my blade as the barrier got stronger and my wound healed thanks to Black Dragon. The fight took a little longer then it did with Grimmjow and when Nel and Ichigo won I smiled softly and dropped my barrier and the group came down.

Nel walked over and she was surprised that Orihime was healing Grimmjow but smiled softly. "Are you alright?" She asked looking to me as our group came hurrying over.

I smiled softly and nodded my head. "Yeah I am; thank you for keeping Ichigo alive that means lots to myself...and to his father and sisters even if they don't know it."

"Of course Itsumi; I'll get Grimmjow out of here and to a place where he can rest and heal. Be careful alright? All of you's."

Ichigo, myself and Orihime nodded our heads all serious and watched as Nel took Grimmjow else where and I could only hope that maybe in time I could understand why I wanted him safe, of what drew me to him like a moth to a flame.

Once the group was together we found a way to escape and headed back to our world and I could see that the pillars were nearly all gone but the fights at them were done with. I frowned as we hurried over and saw that Kisuke was relieved we had made it back alive and with Orihime.

"Glad you all got back here; forgive me Orihime I was hoping that by keeping you out of the fighting...I hoped Aizen wouldn't have come after you but now I see that was wrong of me." Kisuke spoke as we all faced off with Aizen, Tosen, Gim and the Espada.

"It's alright...he said he wanted to merge with the Hogyoku what will that do to him?"

The look on Kisuke's face darkened as he heard Orihime; he looked from her to the rest of us and then back to the enemy. "Give him unimaginable power...we can't let him..."
