Hidden Behind the Blue
Chapter Nine_ Torn

She walked into Las Noches exhausted beside him. Makota had lost to him. She was no match for him in his Resurrección Form. She gave everything she had. "I think you broke something," She told him, rubbing her sore arm.

"No I didn't," He said.

"Hey Papa…"

"SHUT UP!" He roared suddenly.

"W-What's the matter?" Makota asked, startled by Grimmjow's sudden anger.

"THE MATTER IS YOU!"

"Me, what did I do?" Makota was confused. One minute ago he was totally calm and now he was furious.

"YOU ALWAYS FOLLOW ME AROUND AND TALK SOME SENSELESS GARBAGE WHEN YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HINT; I DON'T WANT YOU ANYWHERE NEAR ME! I DON'T WANT YOU HERE! I MADE A MISTAKE BY LETTING YOU STAY HERE! YOU DON'T BELONG HERE! I DON'T GIVE A BLOODY DAMN WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU, SO STOP BOTHERING ME ALREADY, YA BAKA HANYOU!" He shouted at her.

Makota looked up at him with sadness, heartbreak, and hurt in her gray eyes. Huge tears were threatening to gush from her eyes and flow down her cheeks. She walked past him and towards the door. She opened the door, "I actually thought you were different from the others, I thought maybe you could actually love me and Mama but it turns out I was wrong. You should have just killed me if you don't care about me."

"You're not worth killing. It would be a waste of energy."

Makota didn't look at him, she left the room. She went to her room and grabbed what little stuff she had. Milo meowed at her. "Come on Milo, we're going home." Milo meowed and followed her out of the room.

She slipped through the back door after she found the spare key in the flowerbed. "Ichigo-sama," She called as she went into the living room.

He stood up when he saw her, "Makota, hey, welcome back," He smiled then it faded when he saw her face, "Makota what's wrong?"

"Ichigo-sama…" She tried to keep her voice from wavering, "Could you please not say I told you so? Please?" She started to sob, the huge tears gushed down her cheeks.

"Oh, Makota, I'm so sorry," Ichigo pulled her into a tight hug. Makota clung to him tightly and cried into his chest.

"I should've listened to you," She cried, "I'm so stupid."

"No, you're not stupid," Ichigo rubbed her back. Makota hugged him tighter and cried so hard. Grimmjow broke her heart. He pretended to care about her.

"Why couldn't you have been my daddy?" She asked Ichigo.

He took her in his arms and carried her to the guest bedroom after Makota cried herself to sleep. He tucked her in and kissed her forehead. "Damn you Grimmjow," Ichigo snarled to himself as he left the room and closed the door.

She sat at the table silent, she didn't touch her food. "Makota, please eat sweetheart," Orihime said. Makota had gone home that morning after she woke up.

"I'm not hungry Mama," She said. She stood up and threw away the food before putting her plate in the sink. She sighed. "Mama," She said before she choked up on a sob.

"Makota, baby," Orihime pulled her into hug when she whimpered. Makota hugged her closely.

He sat in the throne room alone. His words kept replaying in his mind. Her face… "The way she looked at me…" He said. She was about to cry but she left before she did, just like Orihime did.

"I thought you were different… I thought you could actually love me and Mama… But I was wrong…" She said to him.

His face contorted with guilt, "What's wrong with me?"

"I love you, so much, Papa…"
