A/N So so sorry for such a long wait (maybe not that long, but compared to my earlier update times this was awhile). Things got a bit hectic and such. But I want to thank everyone who has been following my story thus far. I'm a little unsure about this chapter, I don't know if anyone will like it... but I'm hoping you guys like it! Please read and review! Seeing lots of views makes me happy, but the inspiration starts flowing when people review :3 maybe that's weird, but I like seeing your comments you guys :) anyway, ENJOY! :D
Ichigo's POV
I stood, zanpakto in hand. A garganta was opening, revealing two human like figures and spiritual pressure I knew all too well.
"We're back, you little shit," one of the figures called down to me. I ground my teeth raising my arm and pointing zangetsu straight ahead.
"Bankai," I growled.
Then I was rushing at them. Ulquiorra and Grimmjow, the bastards had come back. And I was going to stop them from hurting anyone I cared about.
I swung my sword, releasing my getsuga tenshou. Ulquiorra blocked the attack easily, swatting it away as if it were nothing. I swore, about to swing again when Grimmjow grabbed me, throwing me at Ulquiorra. I glanced over my shoulder, half turned, seeing Ulquiorra hold up a strange pendant with a blood red stone. It shone bright as I came closer, becoming blinding. I had no time to react as it touched my skin, burning me.
I screamed, feeling the burning all over my body. It was the worst pain that I'd ever felt before. I wanted nothing more than for it to stop.
What the hell was this? What kind of power was this?
"Hey, Ichigo, how do you like the idea of becoming our slave?" Grimmjow sneered at me, coming up close to me. I ground my teeth and glared at him through the pain.
Grimmjow only laughed. "That crystal will merge with your body and take away your freedom. You answer to me from now on," Grimmjow grabbed my chin to tilt my head back to stare into my eyes, an evil gleam making a shiver run down my spine.
"What... kind of power..." one last surge of pain went through my body as I fell to my knees.
Grimmjow grinned down at me. "That would be for us to know."
Then I blacked out.
My eyes opened to see nothing but darkness. I lay on a soft bed, a strange weight pressed on the middle of my chest, but it was too dark to see what it was. My zanpakto wasn't near me, it felt far away. And my wrists were bound together above my head. I squirmed, noting that my feet were also bound. I tried struggling for what seemed like hours, only making my body hurt and my wrists and ankles rubbed raw.
A noise came from the other side of the room and the door opened, letting in bright light. I flinched, the light hurting my eyes. When they adjusted I looked to see Grimmjow standing at the foot of the bed, a strange look in his eyes.
"What do you want?" I hissed. "Let me go! Untie me!"
"First you ask me what I want, then follow up with a list of demands. You don't even let me answer your question." Grimmjow sounded emotionless, as if he were broken. My anger slowly turned to curiosity.
"You aren't yourself," I muttered. "I don't get it."
Grimmjow gave me a sickened look. "You should hate me, I kidnapped you and made you my slave! And here you are, showing me concern." He turned from me. "You make me sick."
"Says the sadistic bastard," I muttered.
Grimmjow started laughing. It was like he was a mad scientist, like he had lost his mind. He turned to me, eyes wild.
"I should make you wish you were dead," he said, a creepy smile forming on his lips.
Grimmjow climbed on the bed, grabbing my chin and pressing his lips against mine. I bit him, drawing blood. Grimmjow pulled away fast, his hand to his lip. He glared down at me, swearing.
"Ichigo, you have to obey my every command," Grimmjow growled. "Don't you dare bite me again."
I, in return, spat a mouthful of his own blood back into his face.
He stood straight, and stormed from the room slamming the door shut behind him. I sighed, remembering that at one point when Grimmjow had light shining in the room, I'd seen what was on my chest. It was the pendant from earlier. And when Grimmjow had ordered that I not bite him, it had glowed slightly.
What the fuck was going on here?
