Clash In The Middle-Grimmjow Love Story

Chapter 9

Itsumi's P.O.V
The fighting was crazy we were basically fighting on top of one another until Aizen started killing his men. I noticed that Gin had tried to defeat Aizen but had been killed and Tosen had been killed by his former captain, I could see the pain in the faces of those that cared for them...no matter how much people tried to hide their emotions their masks always broke to a degree or their eyes showed their emotions.

I had finished my opponent and sadly he too had died but not by my blade...but when he had tried to protect Starkk and I had fallen back to give aid keeping my home safe the best I could but I was hurt and the wounds were taking their toll on me. My energy had been used a little more then I would have liked during my fight; I winced when many of us had been sent flying and I hit a building hard and groaned as I pushed myself and gasped when I saw Ichigo's friends. "No!"

I cursed moving with the vizored as we kept Aizen away from the humans and I blocked using my powers and panted heavily as we sent him flying away from us and I collapsed to my knee's panting heavily and was fighting to stay awake.

Orihime had been brought over to me as she got to work on healing me. We both saw that Ichigo had fully released and was the only one able to fight Aizen, when we listened to Kisuke talking that Ichigo wouldn't have his powers anymore I felt myself freeze.

I didn't want to keep fighting anymore but I couldn't allow anyone I care for to get hurt; if Ichigo couldn't keep fighting after this and truly lost his powers then I would take up his mantle and keep fighting as well to protect everyone that I could.

Orihime looked to me with determination showing on her face and she nodded her head as if she already knew what I was thinking; I smiled softly as we looked to our friends behind us before going back to the fighting.

I landed near Kisuke seeing that Ichigo was indeed winning the fight. I winced when I felt a jolt of energy come from Ryú and I looked to my blade and smiled softly knowing Ichigo needed a little more energy.

I felt a new presence besides me but the smell of the person I knew all by heart it was a men perfume that I had come to grow up with and I looked to Isshin surprised seeing he was reaper. "I-Isshin? Your a soul reaper? But how?" I looked to him confused and saw the soft smile on his face as he stood by me.

"I have always been a reaper sweetie; Ichigo, Karin and Yuzu get their powers from me...your father knew what I was years ago and that's why he asked me to take care of you cause he knew you needed someone to help guide you in this world. I'm proud of you and Ichigo; I know where you both were and what you were both doing cause of Kon I caught him the one day in Ichigo's room moving around. Your both so dang strong; now let's help your brother."

I smiled nodding my head and followed Isshin passed the group seeing the surprised looks as we moved and I caught Ichigo and let Orihime heal him as the rest of us moved in to fight against Aizen; it was just one person or a single place that Aizen had damaged...this was Soul Society, our home in the human world, and the hollow's world. Aizen was going to pay and he would pay dearly as he had us all ticked off that we weren't allowing him a chance to use his blade and I smirked when I managed to disarm him.

A few of the captains managed to get pass us into the fight closer with Aizen as they too wanted retribution for Aizen lying and betraying them all these years; as soon as Ichigo was better he was given the chance to seal the final attack.

As soon as the attack succeeded both myself and Isshin moved and caught Ichigo supporting him as he lost his powers and we landed on the ground. I allowed myself to change back to normal and my blade sealed back on my necklace.

Ichigo was talking with the reapers before they left and he could no longer see them; as we left the area I felt myself feeling faint once myself, Isshin and Ichigo were close to home I leaned against a wall to rest for a second and hoped the fainting feeling would go away.

Isshin had to support Ichigo and he stopped looking back and frowned. "You okay sweetie?"

"Yeah just feeling a little faint." I closed my eyes hoping the feeling would go away. I gasped and heard a chuckle and frowned at Kisuke who had caught up to us and rested my head on his shoulder as he carried me bridal style to home and allowed myself to pass out or kind of pass out.

I could hear Kisuke and Isshin talking and could tell when we got home as I opened my eyes but my vision was blurry from how exhausted I was. I heard two sets of feet come running and knew Yuzu and Karin were worried for mostly myself and Ichigo.

Karin opened my door as I smiled tiredly to her until Kisuke laid me down and she walked over. "Get some rest Sis; we'll wake you when supper is ready."

"Thank you Karin, Kisuke...can we talk quickly before I fall asleep?" I spoke tiredly as I fought to keep awake but it was causing a headache.

Karin left us to talk and she closed my door so we had privacy as Kisuke stood by me bed as he spoke. "It's about those that remain in that world; you think they can help us."

"Yes I do; I mean then the Soul Society can't touch them right? They would be helping to correct their wrongs against us and...I have a feeling Grimmjow will be around a little more then we think. He's seemed to have a taken a liking to me; I can work with him and lay down any rules that you want to set in place."

Kisuke thought as he smiled softly before he sat on the edge of my bed. "It's a good idea; so a boy has finally taken an interest in you that's cute I wonder how Isshin will respond to that one?"

I giggled a little. "Probably have a fit; but then again...Grimmjow has also caught my attention. He seems a little more alert when I'm near; and now that Ichigo doesn't have his powers..."

"Powers don't fully go away they just got greatly weakened; we'll find a way to help him restore them I already have an idea but it will take awhile. I'll be going back and fourth from here to Soul Society and back; they have removed our banishment but this is home now for us. I have a feeling you'll be seeing Grimmjow sooner then you think." Kisuke smiled leaving. "Night sweetie."

"Night Kisuke; thank you." Waiting till he closed my door and smiled softly hearing grumbling and laughter downstairs as Kisuke and Isshin walked down. I laid my head down and had just closed my eyes when I felt someone sit on my bed and smiled softly. "How are you feeling?"

I heard a soft chuckle and movement as Grimmjow had snuck into my home and my room as I spun to face him and made room for him to lay down. "Still some what sore and drained; I probably feel better then you do. Kisuke knew I was there the entire time; I'll help out here but only if you make a deal with me."

I yawned softly and felt him cover us as I cuddled into his warmth. "What do you have in mind?"

"You train more with me on your sword work, your stamina as well; I never want to see you this badly drained but...you have been fighting for over twenty four hours so it's expected. But what do you think of the deal?" Grimmjow held me close and I traced his scars lightly making sure I didn't cause him pain but felt his breath hitch.

"I can live with the deal; I'll run it by Kisuke and he'll make sure that no one from Soul Society harms you or Nel either. Ichigo can no longer sense or even see you anymore Grimmjow; not unless you had a gigai." I spoke softly and was nearly asleep as he had gently started running his fingers through my hair as I closed my eyes falling asleep easily and heard a soft chuckle before his breathing even out as well.
