Beginning Again

Chapter 23

A few hours later. Everyone was now in Nnoitora's house and staring at Saya. "What the fuck happened?" It was stark who spoke and Saya laughed as she rubbed her neck, she had yet to return to her body so everyone saw the hollow mask. "I'm an Espada?" "We see this, but how? And don't take that the wrong way we are all excited as fuck, but how?!" So with that saya and the others went about explaining. "Holy....shit. Saya." She nods "I had to choose, and i couldn't give up Akuma, I couldn't give up any of you."
     Grimmjow smiled as he walked up behind Saya and wrapped an arm around her. "So now all that's left is to find out what caused this." Saya nodded and looked at Urahara who had also shown up upon being called. "I'm going to modify her body so it'll properly act as a gigai." And with that he picked up the body and left for his shop. Saya sighed and then blinked "wait shit." Grimmjow looked at her. "What is it Saya?" "How the fuck do I get Karin know to stay away?" Several people groaned at this and stark chuckled.   
     "You leave her to me lil Sis, you just sit tight with the rest of the family." Saya raised an eyebrow but knew she could trust Stark to keep Karin occupied. Saya turned to look at the others and rubbed the back of her head. "So, I actually do have a few questions." It was Grimmjow who nodded. "Ask away, we'll do our best to answer them." Saya nodded. "How did you know I came back?" Grimmjow smirked. "Oh that's easy. The day you were born you let out an insane amount of Reitsu, it was so strong it hit Hocuo Mundo with a blast knocking everyone down. I was barely able to stand myself. So Ulquiorra And Nnoitora went ans confirmed it. Once we knew it was you we all decided to head to the human realm."
       Saya blinked before she nodded, however before she could ask her next question someone else spoke. "It was so powerful little lady even those of us in the Soul Society felt the force and the ground trembled with the force." Multiple sets of eyes widened as they turned to see who spoke. It was a man with silver hair and his eyes were closed but he had a smile on his face. "Don't look so alarmed, I mean no harm. So you can put your weapons away. In fact I come with a warning for the little lady."
      Saya blinked before crossing her arms a blank look crossing her face. "First off my name is Saya, not little lady. Second off who are you and what warning do you come with?" The man chuckled. "Oh yes, you are a spitfire aren't you? The same woman who killed Aizen all those years ago. Even if he's not dead he's still sealed away in a very powerful Kido now isn't he?" Grey eyes widened. She didn't know that. And all of a sudden she was clutching her head her eyes screwing shut. "Ngh!" "Saya?!" Someone yelled but she was now lost to a memory.
   
    *flashback*
 
   Saya had tracked Aizen down, having gone alone. He had offered her a place at his side, and she had adamantly refused. Giving a sick grin she had chosen to live which made the man think she was going to choose his side. But no, she had meant she was going to kill him. Having released both her first and second form. She was bloodied and bruised, yet so was he. If she was going to die, she was taking this fucker down with her. So she had activated her second release.
        "Let me show you why my I am the most feared Espada." He raised an eyebrow and for some reason he couldn't chose away the chill that went down his spine. "Sin and repent...destroy your foe.." he trembled this time "awaken...Akuma no Megami!" Aizen felt his eyes widen at the incredible force of reitus. The winds had picked up and the sand was blowing everywhere. Shielding his face from the harsh winds and sand he only had to wait a few more moments before everything started to calm down. Daring to finally look up he felt his breath stop and fear crawled its way into his very core.
    Standing before him was Saya Zetsubō in her second release. Her entire form had changed and he trembled. Her long black hair now flowed around her, her hollow mask completely gone, in favor of what looked like her hollow mask now around her forehead. From each side was sharp pointed horns, her outfit has changed to expose her stomach but cover the rest of her, her arms included, a pair of what looked to be pants caught his attention before he realized that her feet were clad in shoes that resembled heals yet on the back were sharp blade like objects. And he wondered if those were suppose to resemble her sword, her hands has reverted to normal hands instead of her claws and that's when she opened her eyes.
    Her eyes were a shade of black but instead of their gold slit it was now a blood red color and she grinned revealing her now elongated fangs for teeth. Trembling faintly he stood to his full hight only to suddenly be forced to his knees as she let out a roar and her reitsu flared dangerously. Staring at her with horror in his own purple and white eyes did he wait to stand once more. "I see, such a terrifying form. But alas Saya, I can not allow you to win." She just blinked, it was a slow lazy motion before she shrugged, nor speaking in the slightest.
    Instead she just simply vanished and appeared behind him throwing him against a boulder that was In the distance. Grunting from the pain of that alone he tried to stand, within moments however he was back on his feet. "Those were some lucky shots little Saya." She rolled her eyes. "Luck has Nothin to do with it." He chuckled "if you say so, now why don't we kick this up a notch?" Both saya and Aizen were panting for air, he had released his bankai and she had managed to destroy a good half of the area, but she was still holding back. "I will end you...I swear I will." She spat out a mouth full of blood. "I would like to see you fuckin try." And with that the two lunged at each other once more and the impact alone destroyed the ground below them, neither one aware of the approaching angry sexta, who was hell bent on dragging Saya home. But first they had a threat to get rid of. Moving back the two each took their stance with the intentions of hopefully making this the last attack.
      Each had taken their final stance, each one had the intentions of ending this with one final attack. Saya was on her last rush of energy. Due to the fact she was trying so far to keep a grip on her sanity and not slip into the bloodlust. Charging up one of her most powerful ceros Aizen was also preparing to unleash his final attack. "Yami, massatsu!" A dark black cero was blasted towards Aizen just as he released his attack. "Kyōka Suigets!"
    The two had finally unleashed their last attacks and Saya's eyes widened in horror as the blast from Aizens sword sent her flying backwards, her shoulder down to her hip were sliced open and she howled in pain. Her body slamming against the ground she let out a pain filled groan. Aizen however didn't fare any better. Having been knocked backwards be slammed into a rock and growled. However unlike saya he was still able to stand up. Looking over at the bloodied and defeated woman he started to laugh.
    "I told you Saya, you would lose to me. You should have joined. Now since I'm so kind I'll offer it one last time. Join me or die" said woman was struggling to stay awake at this point, she was losing blood faster then her body could regenerate. Giving him a dirty glare she hissed. "I would rather die!" He sighed. "So be it. I shall end your suffering, however it's truly a shame that you have chosen death, you truly could have been the most powerful being aside from myself." Snarling she tried to sit up and fight again but her body wasn't letting her, she was losing the battle for her sanity, and even worse she was losing the ability of sight, she would either pass out first or slip completely into bloodlust. And yet she was secretly hoping for that second one, to allow herself to sink and slip into that beautiful sense of mindless killing.
    Closing her eyes she tried to focus on healing. Aizen sighed and started to walk towards her, he was going to end her very existence. Or...he realized he could just take her. She was already incredibly weak, she couldn't even move to defend herself. A sick smile formed along his lips as he started to walk with a purpose when all of a sudden he spat out a mouth full of blood and several spots on his body sliced open spraying his blood everywhere.
    Staggering slightly he spat up yet another mouthful of blood as he tried to think of how this happened. That's when he remembered the her cero. Snarling he realized that it was a delayed reaction, it had knocked him backwards yes, but he wasn't aware that the cero had been absorbed into his skin and when he tried to move towards her did it finally activate and slice him apart from the inside out. "You damn bitch! Ya know I was just gonna take you, force you to form an pact with me but now...now seeing what you can do, what you could have done had you simply let go, I realized that I have no choice but to kill you."
     Saya felt herself panic now, this man was about to kill her. Feeling her mind begin to blank she could only think of how sorry she was for leaving grimmjow and the others like this. Dying without even a goodbye, without even being able to fight back properly. She dug her nails into the sand as she once more tried to move.
    Meanwhile Grimmjow was now in sight of the battle field, at first his eyes widened from the insane amount of damage, but what really made him freak out was when he felt her reitus flare as if she had released her second form. Pushing himself faster he had arrived just in time to see a man standing over her, a sword aimed at where her heart would be and he felt himself freeze, she was bloodied, bruised and on the ground beaten. In that moment he felt all the rage he had been bottling up begin to let itself out.
    "Now Saya Zetsubō, die." And before Aizen could even touch her he felt a fist collide with his face and then he was flying backwards and into the sand skidding along the floor. Growling in pain he looked up and felt his eyes widen at the sight before him.
    Standing in front of saya was a man with striking ice blue hair and dark blue eyes, he had a hollow mask on the side of his face and his hole was dead center of his stomach. Watching him as he knelt down near Saya he gently cradled the woman in his arms. "Oh Saya...kitten answer me please...please." She weakly opened her eyes and smiled a bit. "Grimm...you came...." she spat out some blood and he felt his heart break.
    "Of course i did idiot...I'll always come for you." That got a slight smile from her. "I....need to apologize..." he snorted and shook his head. "Nah, I just need ya to focus on healing ok? And if you need to..give in." She blinked 'give in?' "Give into your blood lust. Meanwhile I'm gonna deal with him 'kay?" She simply nodded and closed her eyes again, deciding that healing came first then she would give in to that bloodlust she felt. Laying her down gently he stood up and turned towards the man who was now back on his feet.
    "How cute, you think you can save her?" He snorted "I know I can. She's my partner, my kitten, my Saya, and you made really bad mistake here buddy." He glared at the man. "Who the fuck are you then." Grimm smirked "Grimmjow Jaegerjaques. The 6th espada, and now your opponent." Aizen smirked "I see so shall we fight?" He tolled his eyes "first I wanna no the name of the man I'm about to kill." Aizen laughed. "I am Aizen Sousuke, and if anyone is dying it'll be you, then the woman behind you." Grimmjow scowled "to bad, I ain't letting that happen." He gripped pantera before placing his hand over the blade near the hilt. "Grind...pantera!"
      "You think that form can stop me? You see what I did to Saya, and she released her second form."
    Grimmjow chuckled "Yeah well Thats cause she held back." "Held back?" "Oh yeah, she clung to her sanity and reason fo the point she actually hindered herself, however...." Aizen raised an eyebrow "however what?" "You hurt the one woman I care for, you went to kill Her. So i think this form won't be enough." Aizen blinked "you think you can defeat me?
So be it, come grimmjow, let's fight so that when I kill you, You will finally realize how utterly weak you really are."
    He snorted "you won't win this time, I'm gonna be King...I swore that to myself, I will be the king, but first I gotta take you down." Closing his eyes he finally let out all of the hate and anger "destruction and prey....Segunda Etapa, pantera!" Within moments a blueish black light covered his entire body and before Aizen could even move he was being blasted backwards from the force of the reitus alone.
    Grimmjow glared over at Aizen and the brown haired man gulped slightly. "So like saya, you have a second release....how interesting.." grimmjow's hair was now long and flowing down his back still, yet some parts were black at the front, his singular tail had split into two and it was covered with blue flames, his entire upper body was exposed with the exception of the black tattoos along his chest and arms. His arms up to his elbows were now covered in black like fur and his claws the same color. Looking down his legs now had spots on them and the skin was a light blue color. And his legs up to his knees much like his arms had black like fur, his feet however were now claw shape as well but longer then they previously had been.
    Smirking at aizen his hollow hole now had a blue color and that's when he realized he might really be in trouble. Saya was watching this with a smirk, knowing that aizen was about to get the beat down of a life time. Grimmjow turned his head back to face Saya slightly. "Ya good ta stand yet kitten?" She attempted once more to stand and hissed. "That's fine kitten, you just rest up. I will protect you." She looked at him as he said this and watched as he lunged at Aizen who just barely managed to stop a clawed band from ripping into him, however he couldn't stop the twin tails from hitting his leg and he groaned in pain as Grimmjow jumped back. "Haha is that all ya got?"
    Aizen glared at him and took his stance, he allowed the Hōgyoku to take over his form. Grimmjow would have shuddered if he didn't look so ridiculous. "Dude you look like a butterfly." Saya snorted at this, Grimmjow had a point. "A deadly little butterfly Grimm." He laughed. "True shit kitten." Aizen glared at them, he wasn't a damn butterfly. "Ya ready butterfly?" "I am not a butterfly! I am a god!" Saya glared at the man at his outburst, anger filling her entire being. Feeling her fingers twitch in anger she finally let go, she let go and allowed the bloodlust to consume her, however this time it would be much different, she wasn't going to harm grimmjow, he wasn't her target, this time she would help Grimmjow and together they would end Aizen...erm no she corrected that thought, they would stop the butterfly.
    Opening her eyes once again the hollow hole that was hidden finally revealed itself and started to glow a dark shade of red, the color of blood. Standing up on now steady legs a black like mark curled up her arms, destroying the sleeves of the shirt the marks spiraled around her collar bones and neck, before stopping at her belly button. Aizen went to move for an attack when he froze at the sudden force of spiritual pressure. "What the hell?"
    Saya moved so she was now standing besides Grimmjow her nails turning into black claws she glanced at him and smirked. "Mind if I join in?" Her voice was demonic as fuck but he grinned, "oh hell yes. Now this is really gonna be a fair fuckin fight." She grinned at this and they turned towards aizen as he finally felt what was true fear. Two fully transformed Espada's against him? He was absolutely fucked, not that he would tell them this.
    "I will end you both! Die together then!" Saya's eyes narrowed and Grimmjow rolled his eyes. "You're out Matched, and ya seriously don't stand a chance. Ready when you are Saya." She grinned. Instead of giving him a verbal answer she vanished and hit aizens back with a well aimed kick, Grimmjow smirked and appeared in front of him and kicked sideways into his ribs. Hearing the crunching of bones he cackled and Saya smirked. Sharing a knowing look the two vanished and both managed well placed blows on aizen, saya had hit the chest and Grimmjow broke the man's leg and aizen howled in pain.
       Saya looked at him and he nodded stepping back he would allow her to get her revenge, aizen had forced this one, he had pushed her past reason. Carefully watching the two he waited to see what would occur. Saya grabbed aizen by the face and was soon slamming the man into the ground. "That was for pushing me past my limits." She kicked him and he skidded across the ground. "That was for trying to kill me." She charged up a cero this time. "Akuma...no cero!" Aizen screamed as the blast of the cero ripped apart the wings and he glared at her. "That's for going after Grimmjow. Now if you don't mind, I'm...no, we are going to end this. Grimmjow!" "Yo kitten." A sadistic smile formed along her lips. "Let's end this." "You can't! I am god!" She rolled her eyes. "You are no god! You are a sad sad man, an insect that will be crushed." Grabbed him by the hair she forced him to his knees and held him there, her claws sinking Into his shoulder as the other hand gripped his hair. Grimmjow walked towards him a smirk on his face. "Enjoy hell Aizen." Reaching out with his band he grabbed the Hōgyoku and started to crush it as saya released his hair and ran her hand through his chest pushing his heart out through the front of his chest. His eyes widen and he spat up a mouth full of blood as in Saya's hand was his heart. Grimmjow chuckled. "Such a blood thirsty kitten you are."
    She simply laughed "ready?" "Been ready." And without speaking the two each crushed what they had in their grips. To make sure aizen could never return though Saya used a sealing kiddo. Looking at the wisp of paper she held it in her hand before both her and Grimmjow went back to normal. Falling forward he easily caught her and picked her up. "Ya a Damn idiot." She laughed. "I know, but I lived Didn't I?" "Just barely woman. I swear i felt mah heart stop when I saw ya layin there like that." He started walking back towards Las Noches with her in his arms. "I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to be able to harm me."
    "I know kitten, you did good, you held back and kept your sanity you even managed to control your bloodlust this time." She smiled a bit. "I know." "Now what do ya say, shall we finally go the fuck home?" She laughed once more "yeah, let's go home grimm." And with that the two left, with Saya safely on Grimmjow's back.

      *flashBack End*

    Gin was watching the woman with narrowed eyes. He knew his words had triggered a massive memory. So giving her a few minutes to come back from it he waited in silence. Meanwhile Grimmjow was holding up the now startled woman. "You back with us Saya Zetsubō?" Saya looked at the man with wide grey eyes and slowly nodded. "I didn't...do it alone." He nodded. "Now that, that's out of the way and you recall that day. My name is Gin. Someone wants you dead. Her name is Setsuna. She's apparently been waiting for you for years. She's angry you've once again chosen this path."
      Several people stiffened. Yet it was Saya who spoke. "I take it she knows me." Gin nodded. "Yes, so I came to warn you. Everything happens for a reason. Now with that, good luck." And with that the man vanished as fast as he appeared. Saya looked over at Grimmjow and sighed. "Can we discuss this later? That memory gave me a headache and I need to sleep." Grimmjow nodded and chased the others out and watched as saya laid down In her bed. Laying down next to her he pulled her to his chest. "Sleep Kitten, I'll protect you." Saya only nodded before finally falling into a deep sleep.
