Chapter 9

"Grimmjow…" Sora murmured, his eyes wide as he stared at the Espada standing in front of them. He swallowed thickly, his hands shaking as he reached down to wrap his hand around the hilt of Koorimasu.

Yoru did the same beside him, his knuckles going white with how tight he grasped his zanpaktou. He automatically shifted his stance wider, his right shoulder going between his twin and Grimmjow. The Espada's toothy grin widened at that gesture, his blue eyes sparking with the thrill of the fight.

"That won't do much. I'm still gonna beat the shit outta ya both." Grimmjow said with a laugh in his tone, taking a step forward towards them.

Yoru growled, drawing his sword in a flash. "I don't care how strong you are, you're in our way. Which means you need to be gotten rid of."

Grimmjow's grin widened. "How I've been waiting for this chance. I wanted another fight with Kurosaki, but this will have to do. After all, fighting two is better than just one." With that the Espada crouched, his hands curling into claws before he leapt forward, going straight for Yoru's throat.

The orange-head let out a yelp, raising his zanpaktou to try and stop him. Grimmjow laughed out loud, employing sonido to move around him and go straight for Sora. The other shouted, his hand diving for his sword, but he wasn't moving fast enough.

Yoru roared, spinning. "Bring the heat! Kogasu!"

The scythe swept through the air, flames pouring from it to wrap around Grimmjow's form. The Espada moved quickly, dodging the heat and appearing behind Yoru, his fist lashing out to collide with Yoru's stomach. The boy coughed, flying backwards as the force behind Grimmjow's punch threw him against the wall.

Sora drew his sword, diving forward in an attempt to help his brother. "Freeze the skies Koorimasu!"

A scythe whipped out, nearly lodging in Grimmjow's shoulder before the Espada wove out of the way, reaching up to grasp the chain and pull it forward. Sora let out a cry as Grimmjow dragged him forward, the Espada's fist colliding with his chest.

Something snapped within him, and blood bubbled at his lips, Sora's back colliding with the wall before he sank down. Yoru sprang up a second later, the blade of Kogasu screaming towards Grimmjow's back.

Grimmjow leapt out of the way lithely, hitting the ground behind Yoru and springing up to swipe at his back. Yoru whirled just as fast, flames pouring from his blade to wrap around the two of them. Grimmjow snarled angrily, flashing out of the circle of fire to meet the frozen winds of Koorimasu.

He laughed, leaping out of the way again to hit the ground a good 50 feet away from them, the wild grin still. "Very good! Now this is a fight that I can enjoy!"

He drew his sword, his hands clawing against the blade as reiatsu gathered around him, whirling his hair and clothes. "Grind, Pantera!"

Sora threw up his hands to guard his face as the walls and floor exploded away from Grimmjow's body, showering him with debris. Koorimasu wailed in his ears a moment later, and he leapt backwards just in time to miss the black claws that swiped towards his face. His eyes widened as he saw Grimmjow standing there, lithe and white, tail whipping through the air as he crouched down on all fours.

"Come on, cub, you're the one who wanted a fight!" With that the Espada ran towards him, his teeth bared in a wild smile. Sora let out a cry, flinging his right scythe forward, barely missing as Grimmjow darted around it and slashed forward with his right paw.

Yoru snapped out of his daze when his twin's scream shot through the air, his teal eyes shooting up in time to see blood spiral away from Sora's side, the younger twin falling away from Grimmjow's claws to hit the floor. His teeth clenched, and his hand tightened around the staff of Kogasu.

"SORA!"

Grimmjow met his strike with a grin, the blades on his elbow knocking away Yoru's frantic strike. Yoru attacked again, anger flooding through him as he struck again and again, Kogasu's blade superheating and fire exploding around them. Grimmjow's eyes widened slightly and he tried to avoid the flames, but they curled around him, hot and crackling.

The panther Hollow howled as fire singed his paws, leaping up and towards Yoru to try and stop the flames, his teeth gleaming in the heat. "You brat!"

Yoru whirled Kogasu again, the scythe screaming through the air as it collided with Grimmjow's side and ripped upwards, opening a bleeding slice in his body. Grimmjow roared in pain and anger, his tail lashing out and wrapping around Yoru's throat.

The orange-head yelled, one hand going up to wrap around the white tail, his other lashing out with Kogasu. Grimmjow snarled, jumping over the scythe and landing a hard punch to Yoru's right shoulder. The boy screamed in pain as the joint popped out of place, Kogasu clattering to the ground as he lost his grip on the staff.

"NO!"

Grimmjow had only seconds to react as a frozen blade skimmed his ear, his tail unwinding from the boy's throat so he could jump out of the way of the second one that was flying his way. The panther Hollow turned to meeting the burning eyes of Sora as the younger twin attacked again, the chains gleaming in the fire left from his brother's attack. Ice flowed from his strikes, freezing flames in their tracks.

Sora walked forward steadily, the small scythes whirling around his thin body as he threw and caught them in rhythm. Grimmjow dodged steadily, working his way towards the boy. He couldn't help but be surprised at how well these two cubs were doing against him. Sora pulled his right scythe back to his body, grabbing the chain halfway and whirling it above his head, adding momentum. An ice ring formed above his head, and then he whipped his left scythe up, catching it in the ice and throwing it in Grimmjow's direction.

The Espada's eyes widened and he leapt out of the way quickly, dodging the flat disc as it sliced towards him. He barely managed to miss it, but it sliced open his arm, sending blood falling down the white of his arm.

He looked up at the boy with a little bit of shock on his face, his blue eyes scanning the boy's body. Sora was panting, but he was still holding tight to the hilts of Koorimasu, his teal eyes burning with hate and anger. Grimmjow grinned, and then crouched, readying himself.

Sora whirled his scythes again, starting forward in order to attack again, his heart pounding in his chest as he aimed to protect his brother.

"You really are the spawn of Kurosaki Ichigo!" Grimmjow roared, falling towards the ground and then shooting upwards, his claws extended and ripping forward.

Sora tried to turn, but the other's claws were too quick, they ripped across his chest and shoulder, opening three bleeding slashes that left him on the ground, clutching at his shoulder.

Grimmjow stood over the boy, his blue eyes gleaming with the thrill of the fight. He cracked his knuckles, grinning as he leaned down. "You may be his spawn, cub, but you are nothing like your father. He was a worthy opponent of me, you, however, you are merely a plaything."

He raised his arm, intending to strike and end the life of the boy lying on the floor in front of him, but a moment later there was a staff in his way, Yoru standing between him and his brother. Yoru grinned faintly, blood covering the left side of his face. "You say we're nothing like our father?"

Grimmjow frowned, seeing the flash of Ichigo's determined face in that of the boy in front of him. He growled, pressing forward.

Yoru's grinned widened. "We're nothing like our father, you're right. We are ourselves."

There was a silence, and then the scythe that was holding back Grimmjow's blades began to glow a fiery red, orange like fire.

"Bankai."
