A/N if it wasn't clear, his 3 forms were normal, Pantera/resurrection, and Adjuchas.
on another note, should I include UlquiHime or keep it strictly GrimKag? please let me know by voting in this poll, it would help a lot. (take out the space)

CH. 2
he had electric blue hair, and some sort of strange kimono with a sword hanging from his hip. what caught her attention next was the hole in his lower stomach, ouch...didn't that hurt? or...- Kagome tensed up as realization hit. this must be an, 'arrancar' that Ichigo and Rukia talked about. she had to hide! he was probably dangerous!
but before she even had the chance to move a muscle, he looked up at her, and blue met blue... they stood there, simply staring at each other.
did...he know her? she seemed...so familiar, yet he couldn't figure out why. "y-you..." he finally spoke after a little while, shock clearly evident among his striking features.
she was so stunned that she couldn't even get a single sound to come out. 'h-he seems...so familiar, a-and his voice! it's so similar to my panther demon...but could it really be him? or...maybe I know him from somewhere else? or I'm just imagining it...but this is way too real to simply be my imagination...'
in the blink of an eye he'd vanished from her line of sight, and reappeared just behind her. the sudden realization of that caused her to freeze further in place. he leaned in and took a few sniffs of her shoulder, "that smell...that spiritual pressure...could it really..." he growled ever-so-softly. everything about him screamed panther demon, but...was she just imagining it? afterall, she was near desperate to see her demon again. so it was possible...but still, what if?
ever-so-slowly, she turned around to face him. "I-I..."
"you're..." his voice trailed off, why did this woman feel so familiar to him?! why couldn't he look away from her?! "do I...know you?"
"I-I-...c-could say the same..." she stammered. "you...I feel like I should know you from somewhere, but I-..." she trailed off.
"just can't place it..." he finished her sentence numbly. he felt the exact same way. why did he feel so..oddly calm with this woman? was she...was she IMPORTANT to him? but she was just a human with strong spiritual pressure! what was so special about her?
"KAGOME!" the sudden shout startled the two, causing them both to look up.
with a flash of white exploding in his head, everything clicked and memories flooded back into their rightful places; memories of how they'd first met in the feudal era, back when he was a simple panther demon; memories of that damned dog, Inuyasha, and how he'd always run around screaming her name.
a warm sensation spread through the arrancar, and a quick rhythmic throbbing followed suit. 'what the hell?' was that...his HEART BEATING?! but he hadn't felt that since...he died just over 500 years ago... was he...starting to become...A-ALIVE?! but how was that even possible?!
looking over towards the sudden shout, Kagome saw Uryu running towards them, his quincy bow already drawn and ready to fire. "GRIMMJOW! STEP AWAY FROM HER THIS INSTANT!" Uryu shouted angrily
"huh? G-Grimm-jow?" Kagome parroted, why did that name feel so...right, so...so..calming?
he looked back at her, and felt that familiar warm tightness in his chest, oh yes...THAT'S how he knew this woman, she was HIS woman, his MATE.. "Kagome..." he smiled softly. "I can't believe I forgot about you...can you forgive me?"
"I-..s-so I DO know you!" she shouted, "I-I knew you seemed familiar, but...I still can't place it, I'm so sorry..."
a smirk found its way onto his lips, "well, don't keep your king waiting, little miko." he purred, wrapping his arms around her from behind, just as he always would. he hoped to trigger her memories the way the quincy had for him.
she gasped as recognition filled her, "OH! oh my- GRIMMJOW!" she yelped, spinning around and throwing her arms around his neck as she tackled him. "IT REALLY IS YOU! OH MY GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE ACTUALLY HERE!"
"OOF! H-HEY! ya don't need to jump me, woman!" he laughed after staggering back a few steps.
"HEY! KAGOME! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! HE'S ONE OF THE ARRANCARS! HE'S THE ENEMY!"
"oh, Grimmjow...! I thought I'd never see you again...oh, I missed you so much!" she sobbed in his chest, entirely too focused on her reunion with her beloved panther to even hear the quincy shouting at them.
"heh, it's been much longer for me, princess. gah..." he tightened his arms around her waist and held her close. a shudder ran down his spine as he buried his nose in her hair and breathed in deep. gods...she smelled so damn amazing!
"GRIMMJOW! KAGOME!" Uryu shouted again.
"tch, your friend is calling, ya know..." Grimmjow chuckled, nodding towards Uryu..
"huh? AH! Uryu!" she quickly realized he was pointing an arrow at them. "h-HEY...p-put the bow down!"
"you know I can't do that, Kagome, he's an arrancar, and in case you forgot, that's the ENEMY." Uryu glared darkly at Grimmjow.
"tch, why would I hurt my own mate?" Grimmjow scoffed. "now that I've got you back, you better be prepared to have this conversation with Kurosaki too, I already lost you once, I'm NOT losing you again..." he added with a rumbling purr as he buried his nose into the crook of her neck once more. "damnit...never again."
"Uryu! please, don't you remember that panther demon that I told you about?"
"of course I do, he's nearly all you talk about! but what does-" he cut himself off as the realization hit, "are you saying..."
"yes! you're looking at him right now! oh, isn't it just WONDERFUL?!" she smiled brightly, snuggling against the arrancar.
with a heavy sigh, he lowered and called back his bow. "Kagome..."
"oh no! NO! NO NO NO! don't you dare start with that, I'm not losing him a SECOND TIME, Uryu! I'll leave Karakura town with him if I have to. I JUST got him back, and you expect me to just WALK AWAY?! what would YOU do if you got back the one thing that meant everything to you, and someone was instantly trying to take that away from you? you'd fight it, I know you would! so don't expect me to give up Grimmjow...please..I can't lose him a second time, Uryu...I just can't...not again." Kagome began to sob. the very thought of losing Grimmjow again shook her deep down to her core, he was all she had left of the feudal era...and besides that, he was her mate...he was...he was HERS; her demon; her man; her lover; her EVERYTHING...she couldn't lose him a second time...it would kill her for sure.
Uryu looked up to the sky and ran his palm down his face with out a heavy groan. she had a point, of course he would fight back if it meant keeping something that he held so dearly. "fine, but how do you plan on explaining all this to Ichigo?"
"the same way I did to you" she smiled softly, tears still rolling down her cheeks. then let out a giggle as Grimmjow began to nuzzle his face against her neck. "h-hey! Grimmjow! that tickles!"
"mmmm, can't help it, I haven't felt these instincts in over 500 years, princess. right now they're nearly overwhelming. if I don't do something, they'll take over me, and I'm sure you can understand why that can't happen right now.."
she blushed for a moment, "oh, alright, but I'll only let you use that excuse for the rest of the week, ok?" her words pulled a deep throaty chuckle from him.
"sure, I think that'll be enough time to get settled in with things here."
Uryu couldn't believe what he was hearing! an espada renouncing ties to Aizen to permanently move into the living world?! all in favor of a single HUMAN WOMAN no less! "...urgh, should I call Ichigo to come here, or do you want to go to him? you know as well as I do, that you'll have to face him with this eventually, so you might as well do it first before he starts searching for you and finds out that way." Uryu grumbled, he didn't like this one little bit, but the last thing he wanted was to be one that took away the man she'd been searching YEARS to get back.
"yeah...you're right.." Kagome sighed,
"maybe I'll just let him give me a punch to the face!" Grimmjow laughed, "that should be enough to get him to listen at least!"
