LOVE POTIONS
heh. I bet you this title is throwing you off. You'll see. Heh heh.
"Ichigo! Stop trying to throw up. It doesn't work like that. Not with thunder berries." yuroichi commanded, dragging him from the bathroom.
"I'm burning..." Ichigo whispered quietly. His skin felt so hot, he nearly wanted to crawl out of it. Yuroichi patted his head, pulling out her cell phone.
"You call Byakuya, I'll call Soi Fong." she told Grimmjow. "What we really need is something to cancel out the spell." she gestured to Ichigo in a vague way, who was now shivering uncontrollably on his bed.
"Those things haven't grown in japan for centuries. But I think Aizen still has a store of them. If he could find them, that is." Yuroichi tapped Ichigo's forehead instantly trapping him in a restless sleep. Grimmjow sighed. The two witches called came over nearly instantly.
"Yuroichi-san." Byakuya said quietly, glaring a little at Grimmjow before continuing to speak. "You are quite aware this is not my field of expertise?" he looked at the convulsing Ichigo, briefly wondering what he could do to help the human. "But I do however have a couple spells that will keep the demon prince away, for the time being."
Yuroichi squealed happily. "Thank you! Now, Grimmjow, please pay Aizen a visit. You're his favorite." these words made Grimmjow shiver. Byakuya left as well, still glaring at Grimmjow when he exited.
Witches and shape shifters didn't get along with vampires.
Yuroichi and Soi Fong discussed where they could find the leafy herb that would cancel out the thunder berries. Grimmjow returned, shaking his head and still shivering in disgust. "And?" Soi Fong asked expectantly. "What happened?"
Grimmjow shrugged. "Even if he does have them, he either has no idea where they are, or it will take him a week to find them. But he has a book on this kind of stuff, so he's researching what else we could use. But if worst comes to worst, I could get Ulquiorra to go up to the UK and get us some."
Byakuya returned as well with chalk and scrolls of paper. "I haven't done this in a long time..." he said softly, more to himself than anyone else. He pulled back his kimono sleeve, dipping a brush into an inkwell, writing kanji and runes and some other secret language that only shape shifters knew. When he was finished, he began another.
Yuroichi hung them around Ichigo's bed, on his walls and on his door and window. Byakuya sighed a little. "The demon prince does not know our language. That one spell is the last defense." he bowed slightly to Yuroichi and Soi Fong, sniffed in an irritated way at Grimmjow and turned into a cat, slinking out the open window into the night.
"Alright. Soi Fong. You and I are going up to the UK with Ulquiorra. It'll take us a while flying... but we'll get there. Grimmjow, you're staying with Aizen – ah ah ah! No complaining– I'm sure Byakuya will come check up on Ichigo. C'mon, let's get ready for our trip." Yuroichi turned into a cat, Soi Fong into an owl, leaving the room with grace. GRimmjow sighed, mentally preparing himself for the coming week. He looked at Ichigo, who had clearly calmed down now that the berries were fully absorbed in his system.
"Don't get in too much trouble." he whispered. "Or I'll kick your ass for being stupid." he kissed Ichigo's forehead. Backed up a little and left the room.
Minutes later a smiling apparition appeared before the bed. "Ichi-kun." the prince whispered. Ichigo stirred, looking up at Hichigo and smiling. "Let's go." Ichigo took the offered hand, pulling the prince down for a small kiss before vanishing.
The spells on the walls smoked and burned.
OWARI!
Hee hee. I'll explain next chapter.
