I'll be there {Grimmjow x reader}

Chapter 31

Your POV

This was...exhausting...to say the least.

Each time I cut him down, he just...he went back to normal. I was at least preventing him from evolving.

The shinigami had finally decided to join me.

They used me as a hogyoku prevention unit while they tried to kill him.

I knew it wouldn't work. He was just playing with us right now.

I stabbed him again and clenched my fist, causing him to scream in pain. Whenever I did this I shattered a large section of his bones, before he could heal, the three shinigami tried to kill him.

But he raised his hand and stopped them.

He healed quickly.

He healed faster than I could absorb reiatsu..I was gonna die at this rate.

I clenched my right fist again and created a cero in my left.

You would have thought it destroyed him, but he used Kido to protect himself.

Fucking shinigami..bastard!

I charged at him. I wanted to snap his neck. I wanted to rip his cold heart out. I wanted to disintegrate him. I just...I wanted to end him.

But I knew I would never be able to. So at least I can make my mark...

Before I got to him, the hogyoku started glowing.

SHIT! I backed away quickly and let it run its course. I...

I let this happen.

I felt my cheek get wet.

No...

No...!

I collapsed on the ground, fighting my tears. I really..I wanted this! I needed this.

"Aw...it is a shame isn't it."

I looked up. He..his face wasn't visible. But his smirk was still there. It was in his voice.

"You tried so hard, only to fail." He walked closer. "But don't cry." I clenched my fists in anger. "You'll get to die by the hands of me, now." He stopped in front of me. "Don't you want that? Don't you remember? How happy you were when you woke up in the palace. When you got to work under me. When you became an espada. Why aren't you happy, (Y/N)?"

—

I opened my eyes...and I saw...a ceiling? That's not- wait a minute.

"You're awake."

"WHERE AM I???" I shot up from my seat in a panic.

"Relax, we found you in the menos forest after a fight with an adjuchas." I looked towards the direction the voice was coming from. There was...a man. In a large, throne-li- OH MY- IT WAS AIZEN-SAMA HIMSELF!!!

—

I shook my head violently. I wouldn't fall to him. It was an impossible fight, but I'll kill myself before anything.

—

"Oh calm down, she's just happy." Aizen-sama emergered from the crowd, smirking.

I felt like I could trust him, so I relaxed a little.

—

The tears continued to fall. What ever made me think I could trust him? Why did I ever want to serve him?

"You know, I always thought you would be the loyal one in the end. But I guess I was wrong. Too bad, I would have enjoyed you along side me. Oh well, I can always find someone better."

Before I could stand up and attack, he kicked me a few yards away. I tried to stand up again, but he was there in an instant. He raised his zanpakuto, crashing it down harshly on my face. I managed to dodge it in the slightest way, but he still cut me. I saw part of my hollow mask fall to the ground.

He.. I grabbed his zanpakuto and pulled myself up. His face was covered but I knew what expression he would have had.

I raised my fist and sent a punch towards his face. He caught it, as expected. I was about to kick him, but the next thing I knew, I was on top of a completely different building.

"You okay?" I looked up and was face to face with Grimmjow. He looked like he took a beating, but he was still standing. He had a smile on his face and a fire in his eyes.

I nodded and jumped out of his arms.

"Are you?"

He took my hands in his and nodded, pressing his forehead against my own.

"Don't do all the work for the shinigami, they don't deserve it you know."

I smiled at him and kissed him quickly.

"Slaughter him,"

We shared a passionate kiss before he let go of me.

"Good luck." I turned to leave but he stopped me.

"...I love you, (Y/N)."

I smiled at him once more. "I love you too, Grimmjow."
