kurosaki9- You and your fangirlism...*shakes head* I'm the same, so I shouldn't be pointing. lol
Soranori77- KH fan are we? lol Glad ya like it so far~!
Ok, now a few explanations~!
For starters, the prologue is really there for me to dump a shitload of information out so I don't have to explain it all in the story later...it's kinda a hassle, wouldn't you agree? It isn't really there to throw you off or anything, I normally don't do that as some of you regular's know. lol But this time, I felt the need to throw that in.
Secondly, this WAS Fireotaku18's idea. I do requests from time to time. The thing is, we had been discussing this story, and it caught my interest. When she asked me to do it, I flipped out. I had been meaning to do a GrimmIchi, since it's my second fave pairing and all, but every idea ended up being HichiIchi. lol So this whole deal with Dragons and whatnot, sweet yes? And yes, I've read Eragon (and i have the new book too!) And lemme say this; I noticed the similarities and all, but this will be very different later on; you shall see~!
And as for typo's...I have no real acess to Microsoft Word. I'm a good reader and writer, but not speller sadly...T-T The reason is problems at home, so don't ask, ok? lol
Ok, done with the note, so off we go~! (btw, all that alone, plus this, is over 460 words...)
Chapter 2: Found
Ichigo looked around the same streets he had wandered for the past 8 years of his life, hoping and praying to see the one he was Bound to. He pulled the beat up clock closer when a harsh wind blew past him. Ugh...I hate this time of year... he thought and shivered slightly. Although he was quite used to living in the castle, he could remember him and Shiro 'escaping' all the time, enjoying the livliness and clamor of the village. He looked around and noticed that there were still some light in the windows of the Inn. Hmm...this is different... Just as he began to walk over, he felt a hand grip his shoulder.
"Hmm...hello there." A sick, slurring voice whispered in his ear. Ichigo refused to move, and did his best to surpress his shivering.
Shit... "Hello...can I help you?" He asked slowly and as calmly as his heart would allow him. The man leaned in close and seemed to inhale as he got close to his hair.
"Mm...I think you can help...I need someone to help me with a...problem." The man said. Before he could do anything, a hand wrapped around his throat and another around his mouth.
Shitshitshit no!
Grimmjow growled as pain spiked through his head. Damnit all! What's wrong with me today? ! It felt like the tattoo on his face was burning him, and it was driving him up the wall.
"Hey, you ok? Grimmy?" Lillynett walked over to where Grimmjow leaned against the wall, rubbing at his temple.
"I'm going for a walk..." He grumbled.
"Well, this place closes soon, so you need to hurry!" She said before all but bouncing away.
Geeze...what a weird kid...why did Stark bring his siter along again? He sighed as he stepped out into the cool night. As he walked, the burning increased and he growled lowly in his throat. What is th-
"N-no stop..." He froze as a muffled whine came from somewhere close by. He slowly backed up when he heard scuffling and froze when he looked down an alleyway. Two figures were there, one above the other, seeming to pin him in place as the other, smaller in size, struggled to get away. "Pl-please don't-"
"Shut it bitch..." the larger man hissed and Grimmjow heard a smack and hissed angrily.
The hell is this guy's problem? ! He slowly moved behind the larger man and punched the side of his face. the smaller figure laid there, stunned for a second before Grimmjow grabbed his arm. "We need to go!" The figure nodded and quickly stood up, and they both broke off into a run. After running for a few minutes, they both stopped on the outskirts of the village, breathing heavily. "Shit...this is not how I wanted my first night here to go..."
"You're...you're a traveler?" Grimmjow nodded and slowly stood up straight and sighed. He turned to face the person and froze when his eyes locked with war, chocolate brown ones. They stared at each other and for a brief second, Grimmjow could have sworn that the man had sucked in a breath. He slowly lowered his clock hood, revealing spiky orange hair. "Have...have we met before?" He asked suddenly.
"No...not that I can recall..." The man said, looking down and sighing. "Thanks for your help back there...uhh..."
"Grimmjow. Grimmjow Jeagerjaques." He said and smiled, offering his hand. The young man took it and shook hesitantly, his eyes widening quickly. "So what's your name?"
"I...I have to go..." He muttered, lookign quickly to his left and right. "Th-thanks for your help Grimmjow...bye." He then ran off towards the woods, leaving a very confused, yet headache free Grimmjow.
What the hell?
When he was halfway into the woods, Ichigo leaned against a tree, breathing heavily and getting air to his neglected lungs. It's...it's him! He thought, feeling somewhat excited. I can't believe it! It has to be him! He closed his eyes and an image of a teal dragon appeared in his mind, deep blue eyes staring at him from far away. I know it is...but...if he's forgien...he may not know about us. He felt his stomach drop and he sighed. Never mind for now. I need to get back before-
"Ichigo! I know you're out here man!" He turned around to see Shiro looking for him. "I can sense you, ya know!"
-Before Shiro suffers another panic attack... He sighed. He was never sure how, but the albino always knew when he was in trouble or danger. He slowly stood up and walke dinto the clearing. only to be tackled by his brother. "Ouch! Damnit, not so hard!"
"Ok, you're never out this late at night! Besides...Dad caught wind of your absence and I had to find you. We need to hurry back!" Ichigo wanted to share with Shiro what had happened, but the frantic look in his twin's eyes and the exhaustion from his near rape accident had him following silently.
Maybe in the morning... He decided.
It was the dream again, Grimmjow was certain of it. It started off as usual. There was nothingness around him. Ugh...I hate this dream... he sighed. It was like he could never leave it until it was completly over, and it seemed to stretch to infinity. Then he saw it; a lithe, orange dragon standing behind him, looking at him with expressive brown eyes. "You again huh? I know you're just a dream." He muttered. As usual, it never responded, merely stared. As he continued to look at it, it was then he felt like he was suffering deja vu. "You...what are you anyways? I mean, other than a Dragon?"
The creature didn't move and Grimmjow sighed in annoyance. What the hell are you thinking? It's just a trick your mind's plaing on ya, dumbass! Then, seemingly from nowhere. a large, serpentine like Dragon seemed to emerge from the darkness that surrounded them, it's soulles eyes glaring at Grimmjow. The creature's neck was long, and only had two feet, yet the claws were sharp, and already dripping in blood. He heard a soft, whimpering sound and turned to see the orange Dragon backing away. This hasn't happend before... Then, the large black Dragon spread it's wings and lunged, aiming for the orange scaled Dragon behind him.
Just then his eyes snapped open and he shot up, his heart hammering in his chest. What...what the hell was all that? ! He thought as he clutched the area above his heart, trying to calm himself down. He looked around and jumped a bit at a rumbling sound, but rolled his eyes when he saw Stark on the floor, shobved out of his bed by his sister, one hand draped over his face, the other at his side.
"Ngh...more beer please..." Stark mumbled under his breath.
Fucking drunks, the lot of them... Grimmjow thought and rubbed his face with his hand. He looked out his window to see the moon shining brightly. Well...tomorrow's a new day...I wonder if I'll see that kid again... He felt a little upset that he didn't get the man's name, but he'd find out. Something about him pulled him in, and he desperatly wanted to know what it was. Whatever...maybe I'm overreacting...He sighed and laid back down, intent on getting a couple more hours of sleep.
The next morning had Ichigo once again staring out his window, but with a slight air of hope that his brother had picked up on. "So spill it King, what's got ya so happy?" He asked as he laid lazily on Ichigo's large, plush canopy bed.
"I...I found him Shiro..." Ichigo whispered, still finding it hard to believe himself.
"See? I told ya ya'd find 'im! So? Is he hot? Did you have sex? Is he like a sex god or-"
"W-will you stop that? !" Ichigo stuttered as images floated into his mind and his face turned a dark red. "N-no...he...I was mugged in the streets, I think the guy was gonna rape me."
"And because ya value humans sooooooo much, ya didn't fight back fully, did ya?" Shiro grumbled. He knew that their strength was greater than most humans, even when in their very human states. But his little brother, as kind as he was, did have a fierce temper, yet would never harm a human, even in self-defense. "Sometimes I wonder about ya Ichigo..."
"Will you quit bitching and let me finish?" Ichigo sighed. Shiro snorted as his brother had a soft look in his eyes. "His hair is the color of the sky on a nice day, like this." He pointed. "And his eyes match, but their deeper, like the ocean! He has a nice voice too, rough and deep and-"
"Ichi, I think yer getting hard, and if you talk anymore like tha', I may end up in the same state." He laughed as Ichigo swiftly turned around to hide his obvious erection. "So why not invite him here?"
"He...he's forigen Shiro. He knows nothing about us...the Dragon Family or the Masgic in the country, I can tell..." He sighed. Shiro closed his eyes and groaned. For them, it did pose a problem. Many people think of Dragons as monsters, creatures of the Devil. That's why they hardly ever get traveler's that come anywhere near the castle.
"Sorry King...but ya gotta try right?" He pushed, noticing how upset Ichigo now seemed. "I mean, he's the one ya want right? The teal one?"
"Yeah...but Shiro, he'd hate me if he knew! I just know he would!"
"you'll never know until ya try. Go out again in a day or two and talk ta him, ok?" Ichigo nodded and Shiro rubbed his brother's shoulders gently before walking out of the room. As he closed the door and turned around, he nearly yelped insurprise as deep, icy eyes glared at him. "Fucking hell Gin! Never do that, ya hear? !"
"I hear you, just ignore you, young Prince." He smirked, his eyes closing into slits again. "So?"
"He found the Teal One...the Backstabber. He's a forgiener, and I'm worried that his fears are right..." Shiro sighed and leaned against the wall.
"You're the Protector here, Ogichi. You tell me what you can do, hmm?"
"How's Father?" He asked, deciding to change the subject.
"Not much better I'm afraid. He only has a few more months." Shiro bit his bottom lips and sighed.
Looks like something will need to be done to make sure Ichigo's happy...and that there will be another on the throne... He thought.
"We've got our orders now!" Lillynett ran in excitedly, waving an open letter in her hands as the other lounged around in the pub.
"'Bout damned time! This little village is cute, but boring." Nnoitora grumbled.
"Who was it that was so ecstatic to be here? "Ulquiorra commented cooly, despite the heated glare shot his way.
"At least I felt something!"
"Boys boys...no arguing please..." Stark mumbled.
Here here... Grimmjow added in his mind.
"Will y'all listen ta me!" Lillynett grumbled. "Ok, this is a job for Girmm-kitty!" Grimmjow looked up and noticed the dissapointed look on Nnoitora's face.
"Why 'im?"
"Cause it's an assasination order, silly. Only Grimm can do it without getting caught!" She stated matter-of-factly.
"Well? Who is it?" Ulquiorr asked, sounding slightly interested.
"A Prince of this country...his name is Ichigo Kurosaki."
