Grimmjow’s P.O.V
Grimmjow could feel the borrowed power slowly vanish. He could feel it leaving his entire body. His strength was vanishing. But why? He thought that Harley’s real father, whatever his name was, was going to help them save Harley. He said that he was going to, so why is he leaving him feeling so weak. Without power, Grimmjow couldn’t help. He couldn’t take the ceremony to the next stage. Grimmjow’s eyes flickered over to the other side of the room, a slight movement catching his eyes. His eyes landed on Kisuke, who’s eyes were as wide as they could get. Kisuke was staring at him intensely. “Why the fuck are you looking at me like that?” Grimmjow rasped out. He was surprised that anyone could hear him because his voice was just as weak as his body.
“I don’t understand. You’re supposed to be dead. Kazuo killed you” Kisuke questioned. His voice was just as weak as his. Grimmjow could tell that Kisuke didn’t have any strength either, just like him. Grimmjow narrowed his eyes at Kisuke, studying him. Did Kisuke know? Did Kisuke sense Harley’s real fathers’ presence? But how was that possible? Grimmjow didn’t think that Harley’s real father would let his presence known unless he wanted it to be known. So why was it that Kisuke looked like he was seeing a ghost?
“Grimmjow, I don’t think that Kisuke is really looking at you” Pantera’s voice echoed through his mind. Grimmjow was so weak from this ceremony that he would barely even hear Pantera speak. Grimmjow’s body tensed, his eyes widening a little bit. The more he looked at Kisuke, the more he knew that Pantera was right. Kisuke wasn’t exactly looking at Grimmjow at all, he was looking behind him. Grimmjow slowly moved his head, his eyes now glancing over his shoulder. His body tensed even more when he noticed someone standing behind him, darkness cloaking around his entire body making it difficult to make out who the person was or what they looked like. The person that was standing behind him, cloaked in the darkness, slowly stepped out. It was like the darkness was wrapping around him, was slowly moving away from him, allowing the person to be known. A tall man stepped out of the shadows. Grimmjow’s body tensed even more when he finally really looked at the man. He looked almost identical to Harley. He had short and spikey brown hair that had some gray streaks running through it. His eyes were a very light brown, almost green. His facial features were almost the exact replica to Harleys. Grimmjow could instantly tell where Harley really got her looks from. The man’s lips slowly lifted upward, a genuine smile now playing off of his lips.
“It’s good to see you, Kisuke. It’s been a very, very long time” the man spoke. Grimmjow could feel the power radiating off of this man. He was obviously very, very powerful. Maybe even more powerful than Kazuo and Harley. But as of right now, he honestly couldn’t tell. Grimmjow was so weak that he felt like he was going to pass out.
“Bu- bu- but how?” Kisuke stammered, his voice shaking even more than it already was. A light chuckled escaped Harley’s fathers slightly parted lips. His light brown, almost green, eyes flickered between him and Kisuke.
“In due time, I will explain everything. But as of right now, just trust me when I say that it had to be done to stop my brother. I had to protect my daughter’s life” Harley’s father explained. Grimmjow’s eyes narrowed at him.
