A/N: I know I haven't updated in what seems like years, but I thought you guys would just forget this story and no one would read it. Although a recent review made me see that someone is still actually reading and wanted an update!

So here you go ~

(Playlist: Jang Geun Suk – Without words)

Should've ignored what I felt
What I felt deep in my heart
Coz now I don't even know
How to start letting you go
Oh yeah...
It hurts so bad I can't explain
I should've just ran away
Beside you I just can't stay
Coz I know that we won't be

This plan wasn't a good one. I could feel it in the back of my mind. Something was going to happen, something bad. I wasn't prepared to lose Ichigo. I just don't want to live without him anymore. This was the day that we'll have to run. This is the day we'll have to fight for our freedom.

"Don't worry Grimm, it will all work out." Ichigo took my hand and led me down the corridor. The castle was empty. Everyone was preparing for the war, except us.

"My father expects me at his side. How the hell do I run away if all of his men are looking for me?" I knew there was no possible way to get out of this. Our plan was falling into pieces. Even though we managed to get enough money to buy a small piece of land in the far south corner of the country, away from everyone, we will never be able to make it there.

"Calm down!" Tears started rolling down Ichigo's cheek. "We have to make it; I'm not spending another day without you." He stopped at the corner of the hall and looked around. We turned and picked up the pace, there was no time to lose.

"Ichi! We can't just walk through the front door, everyone is out there!" I pulled his hand and jerked him back, away from the door he was about to open that led to our death.

"There is no other way, we'll just have to run and get to the horses in time." He looked at me with his hazel eyes that were filled with tears that were eager to come out.

"No wait... there is another way." There must be! The King has to have different exits that no one knows about. He has to!

From the corner of my eye I saw a figure approach us. I froze. I couldn't move, we've been found.

"Grimmjow." A voice said in a whisper. It was so quiet and hoarse for a second I thought it was a ghost. But to my surprise it was Mary.

"Mary! What are you doing out of your bed?" I gasped as I ran to her side. She could barely stand, she was holding onto a small walking stick that I made her a few weeks ago.

"You must go" Cough, "through" Cough "the escape." She fell and I caught her just before she hit the ground.

"No Mary! Don't leave me please." I cried, "I need you now more than ever." I picked her up into my arms.

"'s. Room." Each word seemed like the last. I ran towards my father's room with her in my arms and Ichigo behind me. Once we ran inside Mary started coughing blood. "..." She didn't finish her last word. Life disappeared from her eyes and I fell to my knees. I rested her head onto my arms and held her tightly while I sobbed. She left. She really left me. The one person, other than Ichigo, I could ever rely on. Ichigo hugged my shoulders and I remembered that we had no time. I gently lay Mary onto my father's bed, and pushed the bed gently away from the wall. There really was a door there. If Mary wouldn't have told me about it, me and Ichigo couldn't have escaped. We closed the door behind us and darkness swallowed us. Ichigo tightened his grip on my hand. I knew he didn't like small dark places, but there was nothing I could do.

"I'm here Ichi, and I'll never let you go." I started walking forward quickly. My left hand traced the walls tell me where to go straight and where to turn. My right hand was entwined with Ichigo's.

After what seemed like hours of running I could see a faint light at the end.

"We've made it Ichigo." I ran faster with him right next to me. We actually made it!

When we got to the end of the tunnel I had to kick down the door. I didn't have a key. It turns out the escape door led a tunnel straight to the outside of the castle. Outside of the town. We ended up being outside of the castle perimeter.

We walked out of the small cave that surrounded us and looked back to the castle. It seemed far away now. Probably a few kilometres away.

"We are free!" Ichigo screamed, "We can be together forever Grimm!" He jumped into my arms and I hugged him tightly.

"I love you Ichi."I whispered into his ear. Our moment of happiness was suddenly crushed in a millisecond.

"Well isn't this the Prince with another man?" Said a familiar voice. "Disgusting."

Aizen.
