Bitter Moon (Grimmhime)

Chapter 12

Oww...ow ow ow... That hurts like a bitch... The hell happened to that kid ?! He's no Shinigami..I swear... That's a hollow mask.... Goddamnit. I could have finished him. I would have finished him if it weren't for... Huh ? I can hear her screaming... Heh .... What's the point now Hime ?

What would all those other bastards back in Hueco Mundo think if they saw me now ? They'll sure laugh their asses off that's what. This is mockery. All this for a girl. A human no less. But... Its for ....her.

Grimmjow's eyes flickered open. He slowly lifted his eyelids but squinted when the bright amber light shone. He opened them again and looked up slowly.

Orihime. She was the first thing he saw. She looked terrible if he must say so. Her eyes were puffy and looked tired. Her skin was a little paler than before. "G-grimmjow San ?" She called in a feeble voice.

His eyes met her tired ones. He stared at her in response. "G-grimmjow San ! I-i am so sorry... I did this ! I did all of this ! I-i am so so sor-"

"Just shut up and heal me instead, woman." He grumbled in a tired voice and looked away.

Orihime flinched a little but nodded and continued healing him. He sighed lifted his eyes to glance at her. She did look tired and exhausted. Maybe she was using too much of her healing power. He looked around to see where he was. The familiar room with it's brown couch and coffee table and it's small television revealed that it was Orihime's living room. His eyes immediately went in search for Ichigo.

"Where's Kurosaki ?" He asked.

Orihime looked at him and then down at her hands. "I-i healed him first... I wanted to heal you before him but Yuki Kun told to do otherwise..." She admitted.

"So you completely healed him and now you're healing me ?"

"Y-yes.."

"Did.... Did you take rest at least...?" He asked, looking at her.

Orihime shook her head. "How could I.... You've taken too much damage...."

Grimmjow lifted his hand slowly. He reached out of the light and held her hand. "Stop. Rest for now. You look terrible."

Orihime looked at him and shook her head. "No... You need to heal p-properly ..." She concentrated harder.

Grimmjow tightened his grip on her hand. "Orihime. Listen to me. You'll need to take rest. Heal me afterwards." He spoke sternly.

Orihime looked at him and hesitated. She looked down and the amber light disappeared and completed the petals on her hairpin.

She breathed a little heavier but tried to cover it up. "I-i'm sorry... Grimmjow San... I shouldn't have... I was.." She flustered and looked down, her tears hitting the ground.
