Mizuki POV
" You know you're not really that pretty. So what if you've got long, silky hair? You're not even a real yokai. And your hands are way too soft you've never worked a day in your life have you?" the annoying girl asked.
" No I haven't," I said dully.
" Plus you have like no personality am I right Lolli?" she asked her friend who did my nails.
" Definitely you don't deserve Sosuke Aizen at all. Do you know he is the strongest Yokai in all of Japan? A mere human with a yokai like him? It's an atrocity," the second said.
I didn't respond. The two backed off and looked me over. " I guess this will do. Now then let's bring you to the master."
I looked into the mirror and saw my white kimono and hair done up in buns. I followed down the halls obediently and in silence until we got to the courtyard where a few yokai were gathered with Sosuke at the front smiling at me. Today is the day I'm getting married, bound to this disgusting man. This was the only way I could protect my friends and save myself. I stopped in front of the Aizen and he looked down on me happily, grabbing my hair and running his fingers through it. " You made the right decision Mizuki."
I shut my eyes tightly and waited. "Oi" I open my eyes and turn my head at the familiar voice. " You touch her one more time and I rip your head off," Grimmjow said tersely on the other side of the courtyard.
I stepped forward to go to him but Sosuke grabbed my arm. " I don't remember inviting you to the wedding," Sosuke said still calm.
" And I don't remember inviting you to steal my hogyoku," a blonde said stepping out from behind Grimmjow. I looked back at Sosuke and saw genuine fear come across his force before focusing again and tightening his grip on me.
" I haven't seen you in quite some time. How long has it been now? 5 centuries?"
" Oh don't worry it's only been 4. And now that you've had your fun I'm going to have to ask you for the hogyoku back."
" Finders keepers," Sosuke said patting his pocket.
" Oh Mizuki-kun," he blonde shouted out to me, " that man has no actual powers. It's all in the hogyoku."
I turned back to Sosuke and now his composed look was gone and replaced with pure anger. " Well if it's finders keepers," Grimmjow said cracking his knuckles, " I guess we better 'find it'."
Sosuke scoffed and let go of me. " You think YOU can stop me? A filthy half-blood? I have the all the power you can imagine at my fingertips," he said then pulled out the hogyoku.
" You can't stop all of us," the blonde said then transformed into a fully formed owl yokai followed by a black yokai, Grimmjow in his half form, and the rest of the girls. They charged forward and Sosuke began fighting them off. Never before have I not wanted to be human so badly. I could only watch helplessly as the others fought and they were losing badly. Sosuke DID have a lot more power than even all the yokai and half yokai present. Grimmjow was flung across the courtyard and I ran over and knelt beside him.
" Please if you go now he won't you hurt you anymore," I begged Grimmjow.
Grimmjow spat out some blood and turned towards me, pieces of his white armor falling off. " I'm not… giving you up," Grimmjow panted, " I never… want to lose you… again."
" Don't do this please!" I begged
" I'd rather die now… than be without the woman I love forever."
I blinked. " What?"
" I love you Mizuki, and I'm going to kill this bastard and turn you human again no matter what it takes."
Grimmjow began to glow and I took a step back as he grew bigger. Suddenly a large panther yokai stood before with recognizable white armor. " Grimmjow?" I questioned.
He growled then jumped after Sosuke who was noticeably surprised by the new Grimmjow. Grimmjow was much stronger now, matching Sosuke in power. In a tumble the hogyoku fell out of Sosuke's hand. I ran over to grab it but Sosuke pushed Grimmjow off and dove for it. We both grabbed it at the same time and fought for it, me tugging as hard as I could. Sosuke smirked and suddenly the hogyoku glowed. I looked down and saw my furry paws begin to form and suddenly I was a fox again. " You stupid bitch!" Sosuke shouted and kicked me. I yelped in pain as I flew a few feet back from the kick. " You could have had everything! But now, after I kill all your friends, you will be nothing more than my slave."
Sosuke raised his hand holding the hogyoku, about to strike me, when Grimmjow jumped over and bit Sosuke's hand off! He then flung the arm across the yard. Sosuke roared and pulled a dagger out from his belt then went after Grimmjow. I ran across the yard and looked at the hogyoku. What do I do? I exerted my yokai energy down on it and increased the pressure until a crack formed growing larger and larger. " No!" Sosuke shouted.
Then the hogyoku shattered into a million pieces. I looked over and saw Sosuke began to glow. He looked at his hands as he glowed brighter and brighter until in a poof he turned into a humble, normal, brown fox. " A fox?" I asked.
" Yes," the blonde said walking over and picking up the fox Sosuke before he could scurry away. " This fox snuck into my house and stole my artifact, turning himself into the powerful yokai from earlier. I did want the hogyoku back but this is much better," Kisuke said then looked over his fox smiling.
" Mizuki," Grimmjow called out.
I ran over to him as he lay on the ground. " I'm here Grimm," I replied.
" It hurts," he groaned. " Why do I urgh hurt so badly?"
I looked at Grimmjow and saw no wounds. " He turned into full yokai form while only a half yokai," the blonde said.
" What?"
" A full yokai can transform between half yokai form to full form effortlessly because of our healing powers. Half yokai that attempt to turn to full form then turn back can't because of the lack of healing. He's used all his energy and now when he turns back… he'll die."
I turned back to Grimmjow as he panted in pain. I sat beside Grimmjow and cradled his head the best I could in this form. " Please, please don't leave me," I murmured.
" I'm sorry," Grimmjow panted.
" Don't be sorry just stay with me," I begged.
" I love you Mizuki."
" Grimmjow?" I asked. He was silent. I climbed over Grimmjow and saw he wasn't breathing. " Grimmjow!"
" I'm so sorry," the blonde said.
I sniffled a little and looked down at a seemingly lifeless Grimmjow. " I love you too Grimmjow," I said and put my nose to his, the animal form of a kiss.
Suddenly Grimmjow and I both began to glow. I shut my eyes at the brightness and when I finally opened them again I saw Grimmjow back to his normal self. " My oh my," the blonde said.
" Grimmjow? Grimmjow!" I shouted shaking him. Grimmjow groaned and opened his eyes. He blinked and looked up at me.
" Mizuki?" he asked
I smiled and covered my mouth in joy nodding. I had him back! " Well look at you two! A half yokai turned into a full yokai and a human turned into a full yokai," the blonde said.
I looked down and saw my human hands but then saw a foxtail flick forward. Grimmjow sat and felt his ears as well then looked to me. " Sorry I couldn't transform you back into a normal human Mizuki I-"
" No Grimmjow no! This, this is exactly what I wanted," I said cupping his face, " I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you."
Grimmjow smirked. " Sure you can handle being with a beast like me?"
I laughed and leaned forward, giving Grimmjow a real kiss. " Only another beast can handle this beauty."
Grimmjow laughed and leaned forward kissing me again. And so the beautiful beast lived happily ever after, the end.
