Left Behind
"Tch, Don't worry woman, I'm not going to hurt you," Grimmjow growled in annoyance as he took long strides towards Orihime's tattered form, he glanced over his shoulder once. The shivering form of Loly whom was howling in pain as tears ran down her face, with her leg torn off, she wasn't all so tough now, was she? He smirked as he looked farther, past Loly and to the ashes of her little partner, who the hell was she again? Fuck, Grimmjow couldn't remember even if it would save his damn life, Molly? Eh, who cares? Grimmjow turned his head back towards Orihime, he was done looking at his messy work, nothing to get pumped over with, he thought as his scowl became deeper. The shaking form of Orihime Inoue before him made his blood boil, why the hell was she so scared?! She's seen fucking worse, right? Why was she even watching his with those fearful eyes then?! His scowl still remained, and Orihime was unable to read him, she attempted to calm herself, but she was sadly unable to do so. She felt fear run through out her body, yet she didn't dare utter a word, knowing he could easily kill her if he wished. Her eyes widened as his large, strong hand suddenly grabbed her collar and forced Orihime into the air easily. Even with her feet dangling in the air, Orihime said nothing and only watched him in fear of what he might do to her already broken form. She was unsure of why he had done this, she was so very confused, she needed answers.
"W-why..." Grimmjow cut her off with a wicked frown as he watched her with anger. Orihime immediately silenced herself, she didn't want him to do that for her...
"Shut the fuck up, don't fucking think I care for you, Onna, that was for healing my arm," Grimmjow glared at her with anger and venom clear in his voice. 'So that was the reason...' Orihime thought as her eyebrows knitted together as she her expression became pained, she looked away from Grimmjow's intense stare and proceeded to attempt to breath calmly. Orihime felt his grip tighten and she could feel her lungs yearning for fresh air which was now hard to get to, "now," Grimmjow growled, somewhat calmer, but his anger still clear, "since I paid my fucking debt, you gotta do me another favor, woman!" Grimmjow let go of Orihime without warning and she was immediately gasping for the air which she had not noticed she had needed so much. The fall itself surprised Orihime as she suddenly fell on her bum with a loud thud and pain running through her body. She understood now, he felt nothing for her, it was a simple debt which he had to repay her. He watched Orihime with fierce eyes, clearly saying he will not take no for an answer. Orihime looked down to the ground to the left, she was unable to stare him down, his eyes were simply much to frightful and rather bright.
"B-but I must heal them..." His icey, blue eyes widened with the surprise of Orihime's words, the hell did she just say?! Did those bitches hit her that hard?! Apparently so, Grimmjow thought with anger as he watched her stand slowly. She hurridly stood and glared at him as well, She gulped as she felt his eyes boaring into her own, she let out a gasp as he suddenly grabbed Orihime's arms forcefully and pinned her against the wall behind her. His face was inches away from hers and she could feel his cool breath blowing on her face, she felt the fear of the unknown rush in her heart, the fear of not knowing what he might decide to do. His eyes were filled with rage, but she could clearly see he was at least attempting to not yell with rage and attack her.
"Why would you heal them, you fucking idiot?! They just beat the shit out of you and you want to save them?! Did they hit you that fucking hard?!" He scrunched up his nose with anger as he held back the urge to yell at her, he let out a frusterated sigh and stooped his head on the crook of Orihime's neck. Her eyes widened at his action and she was left frozen with surprise as she felt his breath on her neck, a small blush appeared on her cheeks to have a man like Grimmjow Jeagjaques so close to her. Grimmjow slowly loosened his grip on Orihime's left arm and ran it down to her small, toned waist pulling her closer to his own body. Orihme gasped with surprise as she shivered under his touch, she never expected him to be so intimate with her. He also loosened his grip on her other arm, but didn't let her go, "I dont fucking get humans like you...yet I'm attracted to you, Onna, and I can't figure it the fuck out! It angers me to no fucking end!" He confessed to Orihime with no shyness what so ever. Orihime on the other hand blushed a terrible pink, he slowly lifted the which was on her waist to gingerly caress her cheek. His eyes were strangely soft and held something different as she looked into them with surprised, shocked eyes. She was frozen stiff, unable to say a single word, his eyes captivated her and she was unable to look away from such beautiful blue eyes. She took in a breath as he leaned his lips closer to her own and right before his lips touched Orihime's, he suddenly let go of her all together quickly walking away from her shoving his hands in his pockets.
"Grimmjow...-kun?" Orihime looked up at him worriedly, eyes frantic and heart beating fast. Orihime held her hand over her chest, the other holding her skirt as she slowly lifted it as she took small steps toward Grimmjow. His eyes were starring away from her, he seemed to be debating about something and he seemed very distracted. Orihime held back the urge to gasp, she could've sworn she saw his eyes filled with sorrow, even watery. He suddenly glanced back at her, his eyes becoming fierce as he looked her up and down in anger. Her body was tensed, but at the same time relaxed as she was under Grimmjow's intense stare.
"Tch," Grimmjow closed his eyes in annoyance and closed his eyes as he looked away from her. He scratched the back of his neck and spoke, "Do whatever the fuck you want woman, just make it quick, I have some business with you and I ain't got much time," He stated. Clearly, if she didn't do what she wished to do now, he would change his mind very quickly. She nodded as she slowlytook a step back and turned to the two beaten girls, she called her healing ability calmly as she ran towards the two weak, tattered bodies. She wasn't quite sure why she was healing these terrible girls herself actually, her heart was simply too kind to see anyone in so much pain. And clearly, Loly didn't appreitiate this.
She finished quickly, but Loly being the bitch she was, was still howling at Orihime in anger. Orihime said nothing, allowing the ungrateful girl to let out her anger, it's amazing what jealousy can do to a person, no? But honestly, he moment Loly slapped her, it stung bad, not just physically, but emotionally as well. She hated being in this state again, after all those years when she was a young girl, she endured all of this pain, and she was reliving it, and this time, no one was going to save her. Orihime felt tears build in her eyes and quickly blinked them away, she felt a rush of wind behind her and Loly immediately silenced herself. She glanced over her shoulder to see Grimmjow standing behind her, Orihime glanced back at Loly to see her form shaking quite violently. Orihime said nothing as she stood, she made sure to keep her distance from the frightful man, Loly clearly didn't know when to stop her idioticness, and would soon pay for this. It didn't take much time before she was finished with Melony, Orihime was amazed at her own powers to have been able to bring this girl back from the dead. She didn't show her emotions though, only a little light glittering in her eyes as she slowly stood, she wrapped her arms around herself and didn't bother to turn towards Grimmjow whom was awaiting her to do so.
"Grimmjow-kun, where exactly are you pla-" the moment Orihime decided to break the silence, she felt a piece of fabric covering her mouth and stopping her ability to speak. Her eyes suddenly widened, she was in true danger now, what in the world was he planning to do to her?! She watched him from the corner of her eyes, she was unsure what to do, should she stay still? Should she try to resist? What good would that be? He was suddenly right in front of me, his eyes hard and cold as he glared down on me. He placed a grin on his face, he seemed like a preditor about to jump out and kill his prey. He bent over so his face was right beside mine, his head slightly tilted and she could feel his warm breath brush over her neck. She closed her eyes tightly as she tried to resist the blush which grew in her cheeks, it was barely noticable, but it was there.
"Tch, shut up woman, I ain't gotta explain to you, just cooperate, got it?" Grimmjow growled into her ear. Orihime held her stance, hoping whatever he wanted would be over soon, she nodded her head quickly. hoping not to anger Grimmjow any farther. He suddenly grabbed both of her wrist forcefully and pulled her down, she twitched from the pain and held back the squeak of pain. Grimmjow noticed this and looked into her eyes, conceren suddenly written all over his face, how handsome he looked without that frightful scowl of his. It was soon replaced with his hard scowl as his jaw clenched, "I didn't know you were this fragile woman, my bad," He arched an eyebrow, annoyed he had actually shown the concern in his expression. He mumbled under his breath as he wrapped a chain around Orihime's hands harshly, she showed no emotion as he did so. He suddenly flung a a large, white fabric over her small body and easily picked her up over his shoulder. They suddenly moved away in one quick motion using sonido.
~Tower where Ulquiorra 'killed' Ichigo~
"Tch, so Ulquiorra really did kill him? Fuck, hopefully you'll be able to revive him woman," Orihime let out a faint gasp which was muffled by the fabric. So, what she felt before hand was true, Ichigo's reiatsu had disappaeared, but now that she was closer to him, it was only faint amount of it, but it was still there. That is self gave her hope, he can still get away from here, "Move, you fucking brat," She heard him growl at as she heard soft whimpering near them, he suddenly pushed Orihime forward and took off the cloth quick and steady. I fell forward and he quickly sliced off the fabric which covered my lips with his sword. My eyes widened at the sight before me, it was...
"Kuro...saki-kun..." Tears began to well up in Orihime's eyes as she saw his lifeless form. She closed her eyes tight and quickly called out her powers, he need to live, he needed to leave this rotten place, "Sōten kisshun, I reject," She sat on her legs, she glared down at Ichigo, thoughts running through her mind, how would she be able to get him out of here? She had to get into contact to one of her other friends, she closed her eyes, focusing on everyone's reiatsu. Some were dangerously faint, some strong and powerful, she knew it wouldn't take long until Aizen-sama decided to go to 'Karakura'. They all had to get out of here and take all her friends whom were injured with them, they had to go protect their small town and Soul society. 'Ayame?' Orihime thought hard so she could speak with her powers without Grimmjow hearing. 'Yes, Orihime-sama?' they all began to listen closely, sure Orihime had something planned. 'I need you to take Kurosaki-kun to Ishida-kun and Abari-kun, they're closest...you need to tell them yourself to gather everyone and get out from Hueco Mundo, it's the only way this world will survive...' Orihime thought hard, she was completely serious and Ayame was speechless the moment Orihime said it. All of their eyes sadened, knowing Orihime and how stubborn she was, they will have no choice, but to follow her command, '...Hai...Orihime-sama...'. A sudden movement from Ichigo caused Orihime's eyes to immediately shoot towards him, he was moving already?! Good, this is extremely good, he can still get away! Orihime felt the tears begin to flow down her cheeks and a small smile appear on her face.
"I-Inoue... Is that really...you? Is-is Nel there too?" He was so shaken up, still so very broken, but he was still breathing, still alive. Orihime's heart began to soar with joy, 'one of you go now, just so they can be ready when I send him...' Orihime told the others whom were not healing. They all nodded, though sadness was still evident, at least the reasoning they were here in the first place will be able to go back home. And that person was Ichigo Kurosaki...Lily immediately flew forward, followed by Hinagiku towards the source of Uryuu's and Renji's reiatsu.
"Ithigo! Your okay! Ithigo! I'm so glad!" Orihime twitched as a small girl leaped in front of her, she was banging against the shield as tears ran down the small girls cheeks. Orihime only watched in surprise as Ichigo's eyes became somewhat relieved to see the small girl so lively, even though she too, was hurt. Orihime's eyes became soft as the scene unfolded before her, what a sweet thing to see, the last sweet thing she will remember of Ichigo. She held her fist to her chest, her eyes tight as she began to feel the pain once more, she didn't want to be alone, but she couldn't be selfish, no, never again.
"That's good...Inoue, please say..Say something so I know it's really you..." Orihime silenced herself, she was unable to speak, knowing this he went through all this pain for her...they should've stayed home to train, though she was grateful of them, they needn't be here, they didn't have much time since Aizen was planning his attack to be soon. But she'll get him out of here, 'I promise Kurosaki-kun, you'll get out of this misberable place alive...'. Her determination grew as she fisted her hands, a small frown on her lips, but she soon replaced that with a happy smile.
"It's me, kurosaki-kun... It's me..." This was the only thing Orihime could mustre as she tried to calm her rapid heart, she felt wind brush against the side of her face to see Lily and Hinagiko had already returned. 'Ishida-kun and Abarai-kun weren't happy to hear your decision, but they complied, since we didn't bother to hear their arguments,' Lily whispered, Orihime's eyes sadened to hear the news. At least they agreed...She just wanted them all to stop feeling pain and return home, she didn't want them shedding blood for her sake.
"Yes! This battle will be fair and square and I kill this bastard for sure!" A roar from Grimmjow brought Orihime to her senses and she immediately reversed her powers. Her eyes widened with disbelief, she felt ashamed to be a part of this, anger to have been so naive, but mostly...betrayed. She quickly stood as anger rushed through out her body, with fist at her sides, she built up all the courage she had.
"That's why you brought me here?! To heal him, just so you can injure him even more?!" Orihime yelled at Grimmjow with all her might. How dare he fool her like this?! Knowing good and well this man was her friend, he still brought her along to heal him. Grimmjow arched an eyebrow at her, surprised to hear her actually raise her voice at him, he slowly stood, glaring at her, hoping to set fear into her body. Sadly, this did not work for some reason as she stood her ground, determinded to protect.
"So wha-"
"Grimmjow, what do you think you're doing with my dead prey?" a cold, mono-toned voice froze both of them, one filled with anger to have been caught, and the other with fear of what the consequenses might be. Orihime glanced back at Ichigo, worried as to what Ulquiorra might do when he sees he is once more breathing, she stood in front of him, determination in her eyes to protect the man she loved. Grimmjow glanced back over his own shoulder, lifeless green eyes meeting fiery ice blue ones.
"Fuck off," Grimmjow retorted as he immediately turned his body toward Ulquiorra, whom ignored the answer to his simple question, seeing it had no meaning. He slowly walked past the angered beast toward Orihime, her eyes widened as she glanced back, her heart began to beat faster. 'When Ulquiorra turns away and is no longer paying attention, take Kurosaki-kun!' They all agreed with a quiet 'Hai...Orihime-sama,' nothing else to back up their answer. Orihime closed her eyes tightly, knowing Ulquiorra would somehow harm her later on if not right now, "also, Aizen-Sama placed the girl under my care," he slightly turned his head to catch a glimps of a raging Grimmjow who seemed as though he was about to pounce on his prey, "she is none of your concern," with venom laced in his words he quickly grabbed on to Orihime's arm and she let out a small gasp as Ulquiorra tightened his grip on Orihime's thin arm. 'I'm not going to run away, no way I'd out run any of you...' Orihime thought sadly as she only grimanced at the pain, not allowing herself to let out another emotion.
"I'm not fucking done with her, you fucking bastard!" Grimmjow glared at Ulquiorra with rage as Ulquiorra stood behind Orihime and placed his bony fingers over her lips. She closed her eyes as sorrow filled her strong heart, she allowed them to open as she saw that all the attention was drawn away from Ichigo. Orihime let out a mental sigh and she began to slightly shake. 'Now! Take him away from this danger! Allow him to do everything in his power to save the world, to be my hero!' Orihime cried out to her faries as a small shield appeared under Ichigo, ever so silently taking him away.
'Even if she were to be Left Behind, at least the man she loved will be able to survive...'
