A Change of Heart

Chapter X



As Ichigo raced to meet Grimmjow he felt another reitsu that was close by.

Uryū.

What was that stupid Quincy doing! He was going to get in the way. Ichigo had no idea what he had planned to do once he saw Grimmjow again or even what the Espada's own plans were. Maybe he should be grateful that that choice was being taken away from him by Uryū's interference. He would have to fight.

Uryū was ahead of him and so reached the area where the gate had opened in the park.

"Ichigo" he acknowledged him. Ichigo gave a sharp nod in return before turning his gaze on Grimmjow who looked as cocky as always.

Had their night together meant anything to him?

Ichigo couldn't tell and was given no more time to ponder the situation as Uryū aimed and let a flurry of arrows go, arching towards the Espada.

Grimmjow just smirked and without even unsheathing his zanpakutou leapt up into the air to dodge the onslaught. Ichigo tensed, he couldn't just stand by, he had to do something. Scowling he leapt up to follow the grinning blue haired man.

"Ahh, why if it isn't Ichigo" Grimmjow greeted him and Ichigo felt a tingle go up his spine as the Espada leered at him. He was confused and his emotions conflicted. He hated Grimmjow and yet he didn't and he wasn't sure which of his battling emotions was going to win in the end. It didn't matter though because whichever one it was was going to cause trouble for him in the end. Ignoring the internal debate that was waging inside him he held his zanpakutou out in front of him and prepared to duel with Grimmjow.

Grimmjow grinned at him and flew towards Ichigo his own zanpakutou suddenly in hand pushing Ichigo backwards as he parried the blow and dealt one of his own back.

Uryū was still on the ground, his arrows no good now in this kind of situation. He watched as Ichigo and Grimmjow traded blows in the air above him. Ichigo and Grimmjow, Ichigo especially were letting off massive bursts of reitsu, he knew if this fight was not finished soon then they would soon have company as other hollows felt the reitsu and came to investigate.

He was right as he watched the fight taking place above him he felt another reitsu coming closer. It wasn't very powerful but it was a hollow and not the first that was going to be attracted to the power that was radiating off the two fighters.

The hollow came into view and he killed it his arrows piercing through it as if it was nothing.

Ichigo was oblivious to what was going on below him ensconced as he was in his own fight. As the fight went on Ichigo let out all his frustration at the situation that he found himself in pouring it into his blows.

Grimmjow himself was just as conflicted as Ichigo was he hadn't come to Karakura with a clear goal in his mind after all just the feeling that he needed to see Ichigo. No he was here but that stupid Quincy was here as well but still he had no idea what it was that he wanted to achieve with his presence here. As it was he let himself go falling into the familiar pattern that was fighting with Ichigo. Though he was finding that as he fought him he was noticing things that he had never noticed before he had shagged him, things that were very distracting. He could see that Ichigo was feeling similar to himself and he found that he thought it made the substitute shinigami look rather cute. He was also noticing things such as the colour of Ichigo's eyes and how his hair fell over his face as he fought. He also found himself admiring the way that Ichigo held himself and the way that he fought, all things that he was sure that he should not be noticing at all.

Meanwhile the hollows on the ground were coming closer and Uryū could tell that there were quite a few of them. As soon as one came into sight he fired at it but more just seemed to keep on coming.

Soon the entire park was covered in Hollows and Uryū stood in the middle of them firing off arrows in a constant stream.

Grimmjow noticed as the other hollows were drawn to the park because of the massive amounts of reitsu and watched out of the corner of one eyes as the Quincy boy tried to fight them off on his own. He was surprised as a massive ball of energy roared through the amassed hollows killing several and another taller figure joined the Quincy.

Uryū pushed his glasses up his nose with one finger and looked over to where Chad was standing nodding in greeting he turned his back and continued on firing arrows at the hollows with Chad besides him.

Grimmjow saw his chance he knew that Ichigo had seen the arrival of his other friends and knew that the hollows would keep them occupied for some time. With a backwards look towards Ichigo he turned and ran knowing that Ichigo would follow him.

He did. Ichigo had seen the arrival of Chad and knew that his friends should have no problem with dealing with all the hollows that had appeared. He on the other hand could not let Grimmjow get away.

He followed Grimmjow into a secluded area where there were no other people. When he stopped running he stood and stared at Grimmjow who seemed quite content to just watch him and showed no signs of wanting to continue their fight from before. He was just watching him and Ichigo could not discern what was going on behind his eyes at all.

Unconsciously Ichigo took a step closer and then before he could blink Grimmjow was on him and he was pinned back onto a tree and Grimmjow's mouth was on his. Then his mouth was opening and Grimmjow's tongue was forcing its way inside and he was kissing him back.

Ichigo felt himself growing weaker as he gave into the other man's ministrations and so did not protest as he was lifted up against the tree and his pants were being pulled down.

"I need you" the words were spoken low and guttural and though Ichigo had not spoken them he knew they were true for him as well.

Then he was screaming as Grimmjow entered him and his fingers were digging into Grimmjow's shoulders.
