Thank you all for the continued reviews and support. It means a lot as I this and my other fic I am also currently writing are the first two I have ever attempted. So glad they are liked=)

Here's a little something for your Sunday coffee, it's going to get much darker after this chapter, just a warning.

Grimmjow was magnificently pissed, he followed Ichigo's reaitsu to the main room where he and several others were gathered, he growled low in his throat and all the heads turned. Without a second though he sonido'd to Ichigo and grabbed him, fleeing the room and heading to the desert. He had a score to settle, this man was going to feel his wrath, collared or not.

"Grimm?! What the hell?" The teen asked shocked.

He circled his prey, his Ichigo, this feeling in his chest, was this betrayal? Hurt? Sadness? Pain? He let out a feral scream as he launched himself at the shinigami, landing on his chest he began to punch him, hearing the bones crack underneath his fists. Punch after punch he landed on that pretty face, wanting to hurt it as bad as he hurt. He felt the blood on his hands from the wounds he was giving to the younger man. He may have external wound the blue headed ball of fury thought, but I have internal wounds to last 5 lifetimes.

He leaned over, resting his forearm on the man's throat, crushing his esophagus."You fuckin bastard! You really had me going, thought it was funny did ya?!" He screamed in Ichigo's face, spit flying from his mouth in his anger. Ichigo attempted to shield himself but Grimmjow had his arms pinned down with his knees. Oh no, this bastard wasn't going anywhere, he was going to make him pay!

Ichigo yelled, flaring his reaitsu so that it knocked the older man off. Grimmjow, who was still wearing his power limiting collar, went flying. Ichigo got up slowly, blood trickling from his mouth and cheek. He looked at Grimm, there was a feral, manic look about him as he bounced on his toes like a boxer. His cyan eyes boring into Ichigo with a flaring hatred in them, what was going on? Why was Grimm so worked up he had thought they were ok….His mind snapped into place, oh no, oh no….

"Grimm" he said weakly and started toward the man.

"Don't fuckin' come near me!" He spat "your nothing but a liar. I thought you really wanted me, wanted us, cared for me!"

"I do" he said, defeated, he knew where this was going. He hung his head regretting everything he did. He had asked Yumichika for a favor thinking Grimmjow would love it, never knowing he would see it as a form of rape, he just wanted him to have an exceptional time. He had approached Orihime about the catnip, and she had gotten it for him without question only knowing who it was for; she truly had no idea what it was going to turn into was something akin to truth serum.

"No, you don't! If you did you never would have drugged me, or paid some guy to let me fuck him! How could you?! How could you betray me?! Haven't I been through enough?!" He quieted down and looked into Ichigo's face, his eyes tinged with sadness "after everything I told you, why didn't you at least tell me….tell me anything." Ichigo felt his heart grinding against his chest

"Grimm…I…I'm sorry, do what you need to." He looked down, unable to meet the man's eyes, unable to handle the sadness he saw reflected there. He was snapped out of his haze by a fist connecting with his chin, he flew upwards and landed a few feet away on the sand, then Grimmjow was on him, straddling him punching him, he felt his lip split and bleed. He just laid there, he knew he deserved it, he knew what he had done how bad and wrong it was; he was stupid to think Grimmjow wouldn't realize it. No he knew Grimmjow would he had just hoped he wouldn't. The punches kept coming, then Grimmjow got off him and began kicking him in the sides with all his strength, Ichigo felt his bones crack, he gasped with pain.

"You lied to me! I thought you were being honest; wanting a relationship, telling me you cared! You just tricked me, you USED me! I was just an object to you! Was that it?! " Ichigo lay there silent as another kick connected with his already fractured rib. Grimmjow continued the assault, each kick finding its mark and raising the smaller man's body up in the air. Ichigo refused to fight back, this was his punishment and it was well deserved. He felt Grimmjow kicking him, punching him, he looked he was crying? Why was Grimmjow crying? He felt the tears hit his face and mingle with the blood there, slowly making a river down his cheek and pooling into the sand.

"I cared Ichigo! Damnnit I fucking cared about you! I always have, you said you felt the same! You said it was always us for each other! WHY?! Why did you lie?!" Grimmjow collapsed in the sand next to Ichigo's bloody, broken body. His body shaking with rage he felt a hand on his cheek, he slapped it away.

"Grimm…" Ichigo said his voice weak "I never lied. That was the truth, I am sorry for what I did."

"Shit, like I'd believe you now!" He scoffed.

"You don't have to, I don't blame you. I went about it wrong, for that I am sorry. I'm not sorry I got to spend time with you.." his voice broke off as he coughed and Grimmjow saw blood on his hand, alarmed his eyes widened. He got up and began slowly backing away, no…no…NOOOO! What had he done? Oh my god, had he done this? In his rage he hadn't realized how hard he was beating Ichigo and the fact that he was met with no resistance despite the younger man being easily able to beat him. He and Ichigo had always understood each other with their fists more than anything else, was this…an apology? He turned to the bloody body of the man who had stolen his heart

"Ichigo" he said brokenly, no answer.

"Ichigo, please…" He shook his shoulder, his head lolled to the side, mouth open draining blood, eyes blank.

"ICHIGO!" He screamed shaking the younger man with all his strength, he cradled his bloodied face in his hands and cried as for once the skies of Hueco Mundo opened and began to pour down on them.

**At an undisclosed location**

"Sir, we are almost ready."

"Good" said a smooth baritone "how much longer until preparations are complete?"

"Only a matter of days."

"Perfect, ready the Hogyoku.. Kaname."

**Meanwhile at Las Noches**

Grimmjows insane spiritual power patterns were getting everyone on edge, Starrk literally had to hold Renji down. He quickly explained to the group what he and Grimmjow spoke of without giving too much away, it was clear he and Ichigo had a score to settle.

"It doesn't matter!" Renji screamed struggling against him "I can hardly feel Ichigo anymore, something's not right."

"Or" Nnoitra said, giving a huge grin "it's fine an he got wat was comin." Matsumoto yanked roughly on his leash

"Nnoi!" she pouted "that's not nice!" The thin man grinned

"If ya had done that ta me, I'd be pissed too. An he was tha only one who got treated like that, it don't make sense ta him or ta us."

"I agree" Byakuya said quietly "I don't understand it, but I agree with Nnoitra. Why the different treatment, he has a right to his anger in this case."

"It is Grimmjow we're talking about here, he doesn't know restraint!" Rukia protested.

Hallibel looked thoughtful, playing with Toshiro's hair; she leaned forward and whispered in his ear, he nodded

"Grimmjow is the Espada of destruction," she said evenly "so what do you think is going to happen when he realizes the one he loves betrayed him? If he truly represents despair the ramifications will be extreme."

"Fuck, Ichigo! " Renji said, continuing to squirm in Starrks grasp.

"Renji! Settle down, there isn't much we can do and we still feel him. It seems the fighting has slowed, we can go check on them soon but any earlier and we are going to get dragged into this mess too!" Uryu explained.

Renji started to protest but was cut off by Byakuya

"it is obvious there is a score to settle here, Ichigo has to fight his own battles and atone for what he did. Grimmjow will do it violently, as usual, we know Ichigo can handle, especially since Grimmjow still has his collar on." Renji's face fell, he knew his captain was right but he still wanted to go help his friend. He felt Starrks hand tighten on his shoulder

"it will be alright" he said softly to Renji "he may hurt him but he won't kill him."

The doors flew open and there stood Grimmjow with Ichigo hanging limply in his arms. His body covered in the other man's blood, his face splattered with it. Ichigo wasn't moving, wasn't speaking, hell you could hardly tell he was breathing.

"Grimm!" Nel started towards him, the man looked wild, eyes darting around the room. He began to back up

"No, just…help him" he said in a broken voice barely above a whisper. "Please, please!"

Szayeal went to Ichigo and immediately took him from his arms and went to the lab, Grimmjow visibly relaxed. Renji started toward him

"what the fuck did you do asshole?! He better not be dead! If he dies"he said pointing Zabimaru at the Espada's chest "you die."

Grimmjow backed out of the room and fled into the night.
