Grimmjow's POV:

After our "Good Mornings" I tried settling down getting my emotions under control. We were just about to sit when I heard it, the howl of a hollow then a scram of a different kind. I looked to Ichigo seeing him grip his head and screaming like a mad man but also observing the unusual nature at hand. Every time the Hollow screamed just briefly Ichigo's Soul Reaper cloths appeared. But I had enough I wasn't going to let Ichigo suffer any more, turning into my Espada form I looked down at Ichigo before he finally passed out. I went out and dealt with the hollow quickly so I could get back to Ichigo. When I got home Ichigo was still passed out across the kitchen table I lifted him from this position and took him to the living room. Laying him down I checked over him to see if he was all right and to my relief he was unhurt physically as for mentally it was yet to be seen. Catching movement out of the corner of my eye my attention turned to my charge.

"Are you ok Ichigo?"

"…what happened?"

"Well why don't you tell me what you remember."

"…We were getting ready to eat when all of a sudden I heard what I can only describe as a cross between a howl and a scream. Then it felt like my brain was on fire and images were flashing away and I think I was screaming too…"

"Anything else?"

"I don't know if I should say or if it was my mind playing tricks on me…"

"Go ahead and say it. It will make you feel better."

"Before I passed out I thought I saw your cloths change right in front of me, a hole opening on your belly, a sword appearing at your waste, and what looked like a piece of bone attached to your face…"

"…Well"

"SEE I'M CRAZY!"

"No you're not! Don't ever think or say that! …Maybe if I show you."

I stood in front of Ichigo and changed into my Espada form as I watched Ichigo's reaction.

Ichigo's POV:

I watched as Grimmjow turned into what I saw earlier but to my biggest surprise I did not fear him no quite the opposite. But a work kept nagging me seeing Grimmjow in this form as it slipped from my lips.

"…Espada …"

"Do you remember?"

"I don't think so…It kind of popped into my head."

"Espada that is what I am."

"Ugh…"

"Ichigo?"

"I'm having a hard time sorting through the new memories I have its making my head hurt…"

"You rest then and when you wake up we can sort out everything together."

"Thank you."

"No Problem."

I laid my head back down and drifted off to sleep.

Grimmjow's POV:

I watched Ichigo sleep for a while as I tried to sort what was going through my head as well. I went to my office to retrieve some paper, pen, my sketch pad, and my pencils. I returned to the living room and sat in the arm chair closest to Ichigo and began to sketch people that Ichigo and I both knew try to help the best I could.

"…Grimmjow?"

It had been a few hours since Ichigo fell asleep and I had all most finished with all the people I knew of when he spoke out.

"I'm here."

"…My head really hurt's"

"It's because all your memories are jumbled up and you're trying to figure it all out. Let's make a list of what you remember and then I can help make a time line/people line of your memories"

"…K."

"We can start whenever you want."

"Ok…I know I have family…Then there's a guy with crazy red hair with tattoos…a girl with long orange hair, a place that could look like a picture in a history book, a guy that looks like me but is black and white and is crazy…there's more but I can't remember."

"That's fine this is a good start. Well I'm just going to go through what you have told me from the past. The family that you're remembering is your dad Isshin, and your two sisters Yuzu and Karin your mother passed away a long time ago…"

"She was protecting me…From a Hollow…"

"Now take it slow Ichigo do you remember anything else?"

"I don't know…everything is so messed up…I have word's popping into my head along with places and people that I don't know!"

"Ichigo calm down!"

"How can I calm down when I don't know who or what I am!"

"…I think it's time to see Urahara…"

"Who?"

"Someone who can help us. I will call him first thing in the morning. For now let's make some dinner and then get ready for bed."

"Ok."

After dinner was done and put away we both got ready for bed after retiring to our rooms. I stayed awake for a while longer when I heard a knock on my door I looked at the clock as it showed 12:30 am it had only been 3.5 hours.

"Come in."

"…"

"What's wrong Ichigo?"

"I can't sleep. I keep seeing flashes…"

"What else?"

"…Am I a bad person?"

"NO! Why would you say such a thing like that?"

"In the flashes I keep seeing monsters and I'm covered in blood always blood."

"It's kind of hard to explain but no you are not a bad person in fact you were the kind of person who put others before yourself and most times you would get your ass kicked but in the end you would come out on top."

"What about the monsters?"

"We'll save that for Urahara to explain in the morning. In the meantime let's get some sleep."

Ichigo slowly crawled into my bed and laid a bit away I guess he was concerned about personal space but I wasn't going to pressure him into anything he didn't want.

Ichigo's POV:

I tried to fall asleep but my brain wouldn't shut off. With both the things I have and haven't remembered to the feeling of unease with the night. I soon as I thought to go back to sleep I saw the sun creep over the horizon. Finding it futile to go to sleep I slipped out of bed and into the living room and looked around at all the books, nick-knacks, and photos. There were a few pictures that I had bits of flashes of memoire but then there was a blinding flash when I saw a picture of a whole group of people many flashes of people and events rushed across and soon my strength left and I was consumed in darkness.

Thank you for all the traffic for the first chapter it shows that this story is being read. But please do leave a review or a comment it's greatly welcomed. I know I have said in the past that I like to finish my stories but this time I have a few chapters done but I'm still working on it as we speak. I didn't think it was fair to keep my readers waiting for so long for a new story but will do my best to keep up the pace and do better at putting out more work.
