Not everyone gets to decide if they can stay, protect and fight for what they believe in or for the ones they love. But me going on with my life and not protecting whats precious to me is a foreign thought in my mind. I'll do anything and make any choice I have to make to protect and defend whats important to me. I will protect you, even if I have to do it from the shadows or when your back is turned; I will always protect you.


"Are you going to lay there all day or are you going to get up Neliel?" That voice; she knew that voice, how couldn't she know it? After all that time she spent bugging him and laughing at his reaction when she would call him by his pet name, she knew who it was. Nel slowly opened her eyes to see the blurry outline of none other then Grimmjow standing a few feet away looking down his nose at her.

"I'm surprised you haven't died from your wounds, kitty. How long have I been out for?" Grimmjow's eye started to twitch as he heard the pet name Nel made for him. He would never admit to it but, it was nice to hear it again.

"Tch, the only reason why neither of us are dead is because of the red headed bitch that Kurosaki came to save had healed us before Starrk took her back to Aizen. I'm also guessing that's one of the reasons why your mask is fixed and you now being in your adult form. Speaking of which, find some clothes to put on because those rags you have are not covering anything up." Upon hearing all that Grim had said she slowly put a hand up to where her mask is to feel that it was indeed once again whole but before she got to happy the rest of what Grimmjow said hit her as she looked down to see that her breasts were indeed showing from underneath the clothing the she had on showing off her rosy nipples. Nel felt her cheeks grow hot as she quickly covered her breasts and then screamed when she realized that it wasn't just her breasts exposed. With one hand over her breasts and another covering her precious spot as she glared at the blue haired man whom seemed to be looking at a very interesting object in the sky; yup a very, very interesting object.

"Are you just going to stand there or are you going to help me here, I'd rather not stroll around with my tits and pussy exposed for the whole world to see! Toss me your jacket for fucks sake's!" Grimmjow continued to look at the very interesting object in the sky as he tossed his jacket at the screaming Nel. In all honesty if the situation was different he probably would be starring at her shocked by what she said, but damn that object in the sky is just so interesting. Nel grabbed the jacket and wrapped it around her, which luckily covered everything up and then some, right now all she wanted was to be back in her child form and hide. She looked at Grim who was still looking at the sky, despite how he acted around others he always was different around her.

"Your safe to look now Grimmjow, and can you tell me what's been happening while I've been knocked out?" Grimmjow continued to look at the sky for another second, oh look the interesting object is gone, shucks. He looked at Nel who was holding onto the coat that was now used to keep her modesty which caused him to shake his head. they'll have to find her some clothes that will fit her.

"The Shinigami has killed the remaining Espada and fraccion that remained at Las Noches while the others went to the Living World with Aizen to fight Soul Society. And from the fighting that started a few minutes after I woke up and the reiatsu that I'm feeling I'm guessing Aizen has pretty much lost, and it se-" Before Grimmjow could finish his sentence a new reiatsu that was next to Aizen appeared which forced Nel and Grimmjow to their knees breathing hard but the reiatsu got lower and lower allowing the two to breath normally and stand up again but were soon blown back from the power of an all to familiar but massive Getsuga Tensuo that passed over their heads and kept going as it hit the dome causing it to break due to the power behind it and kept going for many more miles till it finally started to fade due to the loss of its power. Grimmjow and Nel stood wide eyed looking at the destruction caused by the attack but were soon brought to the now threatening situation. They could feel Ichigos reiatsu growing weaker as for Aizens had seemed to suddenly stop, neither one said anything as they sonidoed towards the battle ground when they felt a new reiatsu that seemed somewhat familiar.

The pain in his chest was like nothing he ever experienced before, even when he first fought Aizen and received a wound that almost cut him in half, that was nothing compared to what he was experiencing now. But the pain wasn't the only thing he felt, he could also feel the change to his body, the changing of his skin, the hole forming in his chest, and his mask taking shape around his head. But those where just the physical changes, he knew that other things then just his body were changing, he knew that his powers were going to change drastically due to his permanent hollowfication mixed with his Soul Reaper powers. As the changes to his body continued he kept hearing his Zanpakutos tell him that he will be OK and that the pain will stop once everything is completed, so he continued to lay there letting the pain run through his body. After a few seconds he attempted to look where the wound on his body was to see that not only had it healed, but to also see how much his body had changed, it was then that his suspicion was correct. He was turning into his final Hollow form. Finally the pain had stopped, the changes where finished but he wasn't going to be getting up anytime soon. He was beyond exhausted, the toll that he went through fighting Aizen along with the changes had taken every ounce of strength he had, so he just continued to lay there.

He didn't have time to think about anything though due to two figures appearing before him. At first he was about to panic when he saw the mask fragments knowing that they were Espadas, but when he saw who they where he relaxed. Well he relaxed as much as one can when they see the person that they fought three times and tried to kill him, but due to the other person there he knew that he could trust her; she did fight to protect him several times after all. But that didn't mean anything due to him being in his hollow form, only three people had seen the form and one of those three was killed by him. He knew he needed to do something so Grimmjow and Nel would know it was him, but he couldn't move a muscle and it seemed like no matter how hard he tried he couldn't get any words to come out, just a raspy breath. But to his surprise, well not really, it seemed like they already knew who he was as they knelt down to check his new form along with seeing if he had any wounds. "What the fuck happened to you Kurosaki, I mean I knew you had Hollow powers but i didn't know you could go full hollow!" Commented a shocked Grimmjow as he knelt next to Ichigo's hollowized form. Nel was now leaning over the hollowized Ichigo trying to find any injuries but thanks to his highly abnormal regeneration any wounds he had received were already healed, but before anyone was able to say or do anything the three Shinigami that Grimmjow had felt earlier appeared in front on them due to Shunpo with their Zanpakutos drawn but froze and gasped in shock, sadness and in fear when they saw the hollowed Ichigo slowly rise off the ground to face Urahara, his father and the woman he loves waiting to see how the situation before him would play out.

"Damn, they were quicker then what I expected." Grimmjow said above a whisper as he slowly moved his hand to the hilt of his Zanpakuto and got into a fighting stance only to be stopped when Ichigo raised his arm the moment when the rest of the Soul Reapers along with Ichigos friends used shunpo to appear behind Urahara, Isshin and Yourichi, but the moment Ishida and Orihime saw the form Ichigo was in Orihime hid behind the Captains that were there and Ishida readied his bow and pointed it at Ichigo which surprised everyone as they saw the fear and hate that was being directed towards the man he had called friend but what stunned everyone was when he released the spirit arrow letting it fly towards Ichigo causing Ichigo to grab his Zanpakuto to block the attack.

A/N I know its short and I'm very sorry about that along with being absent for so long but its been a pretty crazy year for with a six month deployment along with me having gotten married so I don't have a lot of time these days. But I'm still here and the story is still alive. I'm not sure when I'll get another chapter out but I will do my best to get the next one posted ASAP
