Love your enemies: Chapter 1

Ichigo gets an unexpected(?) guest.


It happened back in Hueco Mundo. He remembered seeing Grimmjow lying there lifeless after their battle had been intervened by Noitora and just how it got his blood boiling with rage. 'How can you take down your own comrade?!' Ichigo yelled as he engaged Noitora in a battle that he couldn't win with pure rage. Plus, his injuries from his previous battle were still fresh. He couldn't win. He knew he couldn't win. He was just on the verge of rescuing Orihime and taking her away from the place, now he had to fight for his life again. Everyone was depending on him. But hope was not lost and Ichigo felt unusually relieved that Zaraki and the other captains came to their aid. He remembered that battle hungry captain kicking him out of the way.

Ichigo wasted no time. He picked up Grimmjow's body and fast stepped to the pillar Orihime was standing on. She looked confused but seemed to understand what Ichigo wanted from the look on his face. She wasted no time. 'Sōten Kisshun!'

'Thank you...Orihime.' He wanted Grimmjow to be okay. He never liked to see his enemies defeated unfairly, especially not Grimmjow. 'Thank you.' He repeated as he stared at Grimmjow.

'...Kurosaki-kun...'

Ichigo gave a reassuring smile to Orihime before looking out over on the field. Zaraki was really going all out and so was Noitora. He would ask Orihime to heal him, so he can join the battle, but any longer and Grimmjow would've been gone for good. Ichigo didn't want that. He knew the arrogant teal-haired Espada would want to live another day to kick his ass one more time.

He remembered just how long the battle went on between him and Ulquiorra, how guilty he felt when the hollow inside of him finished him off and not him. He wasn't in a good mood back then, but everything went well after that if you just count him defeating Aizen. But now, Ichigo had lost his powers. He felt a part of his life died along with them. Thinking of how the eradication of hollows would be down to just Ishida, Chad and Inoue made Ichigo feel completely useless. Rukia had to go back to Soul Society to fix all the damage and do other important stuff. He was alone.

His mind travelled back to Grimmjow. He never saw him after he went back to Karakura town to defeat Aizen. All Orihime said was that he just left after she healed him. Ichigo wasn't expecting to hear a thank you from the Sexta Espada's lips, but he did want to see his face again.

Ichigo sighed. Remembering all that didn't help his depression. He had hoped that the final phase of him losing his powers would've been in a year or more, but it happened the moment he arrived back home after getting treated in soul society.

"What a pain." Ichigo didn't like the sound of spending the summer all depressed while Karin, Yuzu and his dad went on a field trip. He was asked to come with them, but he declined without any explanation. He used a hand to cover his face from the rays of light the came from his bedroom window and sighed one more time. All of his other friends were doing something for the summer. He didn't have enough time to plan since he was too busy saving the world.

Ichigo lifted himself off the bed and yawned. 42 days of summer vacation. There was no way he wasn't going to get bored. He'd rather be fighting Grimmjow for 42 days. He walked out of his room and into the bathroom to wash his face. He was about to turn on the tap, but stopped when he heard a sudden crash in his room. 'Robbers already?' Ichigo thought to himself as he slowly walked up to his bedroom door. He pressed his ear against the door and heard movement. 'What is worth money in my room anyway? Well, I do have a laptop...but that's about it.' He counted to three before he swung his door wide open. Ichigo was probably more shocked than the guy in his room was.

"Y-yo!" The guy greeted as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Grimmjow?!"
