Grimmjow finally made it inside the castle. Hopefully Ulquiorra could distract Aizen for long enough, just until Ichigo escaped. Knowing where Aizen had that secret room of his like every other person in the building meant it wasn't hard to find the only door without any sleek style what so ever. It was just a hunky metal door. He tried opening it by the handle but, of course, it was locked so he had no other choice. "Pantera... Resurrecion." He changed into a more Panther like creature taking on large claws and longer more pointed ears. His blue hair grew down to his thighs and his white uniform now a white armoured shell. With his claws he swiped at the door creating blue vibrant marks to sear through the metal causing it to melt around its edges, making the whole thing just crumble apart.
Inside, his bright blue eyes locked onto Gin in front of Ichigo's limp form. On instinct he instantly in a blurred vision grabbed Gin by the throat and smashed him into the tiled wall in front of him, opposite Ichigo. The tiles cracked and peeled away from the impact, but not enough to smash through the wall completely. He growled in the man's face only to see that smile staring back at him, as if mocking him.
"Grimmjow wait!" Ichigo's raspy voice behind him called, almost panicked for the man he was about to rip apart. "He's on our side!"
"Just yell it to the whole world Ichigo." Gin said sarcastically under the strong force against his neck.
"And why should I believe that? Why for a second should I believe this jackass isn't a part of this?"
"Because... He actually has someone worth fighting for." Ichigo replied, his voice almost losing meaning, becoming feint.
With one last snarl he dropped his hand from the man's throat leaving only a scratch behind almost saying if you lied to this boy, I will come back for you, and I will kill you.
"Come on, we have to get out of here, Ulquiorra won't be able to hold him back much longer he's almost in his final evolution." Grimmjow exclaimed nonchalantly.
Gins eyes widened everything was going faster than anticipated. Did they even have a plan? "What? He can't have done it that fast! What did you guys do?!"
"Orihime, is what happened. She is way stronger knowing Ichigo is in danger. Now let's go." He said rushing.
With a single claw he scratched into the strong iron keeping Ichigo held up against the wall. It melted through, breaking away just like the door had. He made his way to the boy's other hand and pressed his hand into his chest keeping him up. He clawed into the cuff making it brittle and the orange haired boy's body fell forward into his arms hard. He was weak. You could tell in his shadowed dark eyes. He had no sleep the past few days, and had very little reiatsu.
Grimmjow still did not trust Gin one bit, so he was not going to ask for help. Pressing his palm into Ichigo's chest pushed him back against the cold wall making Ichigo shiver reluctantly. He swiped at the cuffs around his ankles less precisely, but careful, and fast enough to be able to catch Ichigo as he fell into his arms once more. The air from the boy's body escaped him, but after so long of just feeling cold, and useless the warmth of Grimmjow's body felt good to him as he tried to grab hold of the man. He was calmer than usual, and slowly paced into an easy breathing pattern once again. He could barely stand, sadly enough. Something was off about it all though.
"Gin, what did Aizen do?" He asked quizzically snarling at the state Ichigo was in.
"Move for a second." The slim, snake like man stated ordering Grimmjow around. Grimmjow only clenched his jaw and replied in a sly way "He can't even stand. How do you expect me to do that?" This made Gin frown losing his smile and open his eyes to reveal icy, cold blue sending shivers down Grimmjow's spine. It was unsettling. The man's smile was no longer evident, he looked serious for once. "Ichigo look at me..." Gin continued. Ichigo did as he was told and stared at him, the man before him took note of his pupils being dilated to an extreme level. "Aizen's drugged him. We have to get him out of here."
"Wait...my zanpakto." Ichigo interrupted in a dazed voice. He sounded like he was about to fall asleep.
"I'll get that. Grimmjow will have to get you out of here for now." Gin said blatantly, walking out of the room turning into a blurred vision of white as he vanished. Noticing the represser on Ichigo's neck Grimmjow grabbed it tightly and crushed it within his grip. The metal band sparked with electricity making Ichigo arch his back. The blue haired man swung the boy's legs up into his arms carrying him carefully. He had to take it slowly, he didn't know what would happen if he went into his impeccable speeds with him in his arms.
It took quite a while with how huge the castle was. Ichigo fell unconscious and it was horrible to see the boy this way. He stared at Ichigo's face with empathy. He had no idea how much he had to go through all his life. He was so different to all the other humans... What was he going to do when this was all over? He would have questions for why he acted the way he did after they left Hueco Mundo. What would he say? He didn't even understand what he felt himself. Just looking at Ichigo gave him butterflies. What can he say? He just had to wait and see what would happen. He would figure it out eventually. But then again they could all die. They all had no other plan. It was impossible to defeat Aizen alone. Maybe if Gin truly wants to get rid of Aizen he will help us. If not he would kill that man himself.
This was a more slower chapter I hope it wasn't that bad, but I hope you enjoy. I don't know when I'll be updating next because I don't have any virus protectors for my laptop right now but I will be able to talk to people via my ipad. Hope you guys enjoyed and remember to review!
