I'll be there {Grimmjow x reader}

Chapter 34

Nobody's POV

There was nothing- the whole place was dead. Neither one of you could sense reiatsu of any kind, it was weird.

"What do you think happened here?" Grimmjow asked, suspiciously.

"I don't know, but it's fucking weird. Aizen came here for sure, right?"

"Yeah."

"You'd think he'd-"

You both froze at the sudden surge of reiatsu and sounds of distant screaming. You looked at each other and nodded quickly before using sonido to get closer, but without letting yourselves get seen.

"..those are Kurosaki's human friends....they can't do anything." You said quietly.

"Should we help them? I don't care about them, but I do wanna stop him."

"Agreed. They'll just cause problems, let them die first."

Grimmjow nodded in response and you both watched as they helplessly ran from Aizen and Gin.

What was really surprising though was when a shinigami came out of nowhere, yelled at the humans and took Gin away from the scene.

You and Grimmjow sent each other curious looks before turning back to the useless humans and Aizen.

It was easy to tell that Aizen was simply playing around with them, and they were all so terrified. It was pathetic, really.

"Should we go now?" Grimmjow whispered to you, and you shook your head.

"Not yet, I wanna see if he does anything to them in the next couple minutes. He's on to something."

He nodded and turned back to Aizen. You two watched the slow, non-climaxing chase between Aizen and the humans.

Nothing happened, Aizen just leisurely made his way to them as they ran helplessly away. You were both getting bored watching it, but you knew you had to keep calm.

When Gin came back, he claimed to have "taken care of" that other Shinigami. You thought Aizen seemed a little suspicious of him, but you weren't sure. It got quiet as everyone stared at each other, until Gin spoke up again. It was too quiet, and you couldn't pick up what he was saying. Grimmjow could, though, as his expression changed.

Yours soon matched his as Gin attacked Aizen and stole the Hogyoku before Aizen could react.

"Let's go!" You shouted, and Grimmjow nodded. You both sonidoed to Aizen and just as you were about to attack him, a wave of reiatsu shot you into the humans, and Grimmjow farther down the road on the other side of him.

A large light appeared from him as he evolved further, then proceeded to attack Gin.

You and Grimmjow struggled to stand up, ready to fight again.

Aizen disowned Gin, killing him, and that shinigami from before came back, crying over him.

As everyone was distracted, you took a step forward, only to be pushed away when Ichigo suddenly arrived, carrying what you assumed to be his dad over his shoulder.

He quickly took in the scene before thanking his unconscious dad, completely ignoring you and Grimmjow.

"Everyone, stay where you are. Stay still, right where you are." Ichigo spoke quietly to his friends who were stunned.

"Are you really Kurosaki Ichigo? If you're really Kurosaki Ichigo, then you're a disappointment. I don't feel any spiritual pressure from you now. You let the final chance I gave you slip away." Aizen drew Ichigo's attention to him. He didn't seem to care, but listened anyway.

"It's unfortunate, Kurosaki."

"Aizen. I don't want to fight here." Ichigo cut him off apathetically.

"Those are words only someone who has the power to give me a challenge has the right to say."

With no care at all, Ichigo stepped forward, grabbed Aizen's face, and leapt to the unknown.

You collapsed to your knees, dropping your zanpakuto. The remaining people looked at you.

"(Y/N)?" Grimmjow called. "What's wrong?"

You jerked your head towards him, revealing your crying face. "Don't you get it? We are nothing. We provided nothing to this. All our efforts, our time, it's wasted! We were his pawns, we served him blindly and with no mind, thought we could even put a scratch on him. WE ARE WORTHLESS IDIOTS!" You caved into yourself and he walked over to you, kneeling down.

"At least we had the courage to try, at least we knew what he was doing, so we didn't have to suffer under his rule anymore. We may not have been the right people for the job, but we still tried. And sometimes that's all you can ask for."

You knew he was right, but you still felt like nothing. "At least we have each other...and now we can say that we are free." He gently lifted up your face and gave you a small smile.

You glanced to the side, then back to him, wiping your face. "Let's get out of this bitch ass place."

He grinned wider before pulling you up to your feet, kissed you, and opened a garganta. Before you both stepped in, he turned and flipped off the others at the scene. You left Kurakara Town and went back to Hueco Mundo, unaware that you would see all of these people again.

TYBW???? I should've come back to this story awhile ago...it's been on my agenda and I'm glad I finally got off of my ass to do it. I was gonna make a sequel but I think I'll just keep it all one thing. So think of the beginning to now as art one :)
