Chapter 1:
As Ichigo ran down the street with his zanpaktou ready and aimed at some hollows a dark presence filled the air around him. "Hey Renji do you feel that?" Ichigo asked Renji as the red head jumped away from a hollows hand. "No," Renji screamed. As Ichigo looked around a hollows strong arm slammed on to Renji's sword. "Shit," Renji thought as he tried to get away from it. As Renji continued to fight the onslaught of hollows Ichigo stared to flash-step away from the area. Following the presence around him.
Soon Ichigo stopped around the graveyard where his mother was buried. As he looked around the feeling grew stronger. "Cero," a dark voice whispered behind Ichigo. "What the fuck?" Ichigo screamed as he jumped back. Just barley dodging the negative energy blast Ichigo started to stand back up to see the teal colored hair of his enemy.
"Well, well, well," Grimmjow remarked as the cloud of dust started to dissipate. "What the fuck are you doing here?" Ichigo asked the espada with a grimace. "I just wanted to see the only person who has ever faced me and lived," Grimmjow told him with a faint smile. "Is that so?" Ichigo asked with a little smirk. "Yeah," Grimmjow remarked as he started to crouch, meaning he was ready for battle.
As Ichigo started to get ready he felt a sudden urge to run away. As he noticed Grimmjow starting to run towards him Ichigo stepped out of the way of the espada. "I thought you liked fighting," Grimmjow said as he stood straight again to face Ichigo. Well it wasn't that Ichigo didn't wanna fight any more it was that he for some reason grew feelings for the espada. "How 'bout this?" Ichigo started to ask Grimmjow. "Huh? What is it punk?" Grimmjow asked as his smile faded into a grimace. "I'll let you chase me and if you can catch me, I'll fight you," Ichigo informed Grimmjow. Intrigued by this Grimmjow agreed and soon the chase was on.
As Ichigo ran away from the espada he started to realize why he was starting to like him. It wasn't that they liked to fight, it was that Grimmjow was a good looking man who loved everything that Ichigo loved as well. But unknowing to Ichigo, Grimmjow felt the same way. As they neared an ally Ichigo noticed a grin on Grimmjow's face. As Ichigo turned back around to see where he was going he ran into the wall of a house. "Well look at that I caught ya'," Grimmjow remarked as he stood above Ichigo.
"Wait a second Grimm," Ichigo said as he stood up. "What is it now?" Grimmjow asked disappointed. As Ichigo started to speak the roar of thunder sounded behind them. Drowning out Ichigo's words the thunder raged on. Even though he could not hear Ichigo, Grimmjow read his lips and was surprised with the faint words....
"I wanna be with you," Ichigo signaled. Not knowing if Grimmjow caught these words Ichigo started to get his sword ready. "Wait!" Grimmjow screamed above the roar of the thunder.
