Chapter 11: Wanna Spar?
After a great weekend, Monday comes around and it's a school day. Today, Sakura, Orihime, Grimmjow, and Neji have had a great day so far. Right now all of them are in eighth period and we take our story to Sakura and Grimmjow in their Specialty class. Everyone in Ninja skills get to pick their sparring partners whether it is a boy or girl. Grimmjow and Sakura looked at each other and grinned. "So, Sakura wanna spar with me?," Grimmjow asked in a sexy tone while raising his eyebrows. Sakura punched his shoulder, "You think you can beat me?" He smirked then wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her in close, "If I can catch you off guard like this, I know I can beat you." Sakura's cheeks flushed and she squirmed out of his embrace, "Next time it will not be so easy." "We'll see," he chuckled back at her. The instructor called each pair up to spar and each of them went by quickly. Grimmjow and Sakura were finally called up. "Alright you two, it's time to show us what you've got, all out, and no mercy," the instructor said. Sakura and Grimmjow glared at each other, preparing to be on guard. The instructor looked at both of them, raised his hand, and yelled, "Fight!"
Grimmjow was first to make a move, he charged at Sakura with full force and tried to punch her in the stomach but Sakura was able to grab his fist, twist it to the side quickly, and execute the move he was trying to use on her. She punched him so hard that it knocked the wind out of him. Sakura removed her fist quickly from his stomach, picked up her leg from the ground and kicked him in the chest hard enough to move him away from her a few feet. She analyzed Grimmjow closely and was being careful of his movements. Grimmjow lifted his head and looked angry. "Well Sakura it seems as though I really am going to have to hurt you," he said in a dangerous voice. Sakura began to feel uneasy but she kept her guard up. Grimmjow's eyes got big and wild, he began to run at her faster than before. She prepared herself for a huge offensive attack. When Grimmjow got almost right in front of her, he jumped up, flipped over her, landed right behind her and kicked her as hard as he could in the back. He sent her flying straight into the wall, hitying the wall hard and falling to the floor. Grimmjow put his leg down and looked at Sakura. He saw that she wasn't moving and thought, "I can't believe I just used my full force on a girl, and the worst part is that it was the girl I like!" Grimmjow started running over to Sakura, but before he got to her Sakura got up quickly and used the quickest movement she knew which is called "flash step." Sakura moved so fast that she caught Grimmjow in running motion. Without holding back Sakura pulled back her arm and punched Grimmjow in the face. Before he could go flying, she used flash step again, ended up in midair above him, and kicked him down to the ground, cracking the floor beneath him. Grimmjow laid there motionless and began to cough up blood. "Sakura! What have you done?," the instructor yelled. "Someone call an ambulance, hurry!" Sakura ran to Grimmjow and kneeled beside him, "Grimmjow, Grimmjow! Please Grimmjow, can you hear me?" There was no response but a small urking noise. Sakura's eyes welled up with tears and she began to cry. Grimmjow opened his eyes slowly and looked at her sadly with blood still coming out of his mouth, "S-sakura…," he said softly. She didn't hear him say her name. Grimmjow kept looking at her, he was crushed watching her cry, he was so crushed that a single tear came from his eye. Before he could utter another word, the EMS came rushing inside to put him on a stretcher. "Please let me come to the hospital with you," Sakura pleaded with tears streaming down her face. One of the EMS crew looked and her and said, "You can come, just make sure you contact a parent." She nodded and ran to the locker room to grab her belongings. She gathered her stuff and ran towards the ambulance with the EMS. The crew got Grimmjow inside, one crew member and Sakura went inside the ambulance with him while the other two crew members shut the doors, got inside, and drove off.
"Could you tell me what happened to him?," the crew member asked. Sakura could feel her eyes well up with tears again and answered, "He was sparring with a student during our Ninja Skills class and the student kicked him down to the ground hard enough to crack the floor below." The crew member's eyes got wide, "Well that is something you don't hear every day."
They all reached the hospital and hauled Grimmjow up to the third floor to put him in a room and hook him up with what was needed for him. One of the nurses approached Sakura and said, "Sweetheart you can sit right over in one of those chairs next to him while you are waiting for the doctor." "Thank you," Sakura replied. She walked over to one of the blue chairs next to Grimmjow's bed and sat in it. She put her bag down next to her chair then looked at Grimmjow. He looked calm laying in the bed, but Sakura noticed that he was out cold. "All of this is happening because of me," she said out loud. "If I wouldn't have had such a drive to beat you, this would have never happened." Sakura looked at him, with tears coming down her cheeks, "If you can hear me Grimmjow… I want you to know how sorry I am, I didn't want to hurt you this bad, I really didn't." She couldn't hold back anymore, Sakura broke down and began to sob. She grabbed his hand and held it close to her.
Grimmjow's door opened and a doctor entered the room. "Are you the girl that traveled to the hospital with him?" Sakura looked up and wiped her eyes, "Yes doctor." "I see. Well would you mind stepping outside for a moment? I need to take a few x-rays to see if anything has been broken." Sakura nodded, walked out the door into the hall, and shut it quietly behind her. She stood in the hallway and pulled out her phone from her pocket. She unlocked it, scrolled down to Orihime's name and typed, "Orihime I know you're in class but I have to tell you to come to the hospital after school, Grimmjow has been injured and is not waking up." She sent the message and put her phone back in her pocket. A few minutes later the doctor opened the door and closed it behind him. "How is he doctor?," Sakura asked eagerly. "Well the good news is nothing is broken or seriously damaged," the doctor replied. "What's the bad news?," Sakura asked feeling worried. "The bad news is that his lungs are a bit bruised from the kick and he is in a coma from the impact to the floor, I do not know when he will wake up." Sakura froze in fear, "This is all my fault, I should have gotten beat up by him and be laying in that bed," she thought to herself. "Thank you for telling me doctor," she told him flatly. The doctor nodded and walked away. Sakura opened Grimmjow's door, closed it behind her, and sat back down in her chair. She looked at him again, took his hand and held it. "Grimmjow, I want to apologize to you again, for this whole mess I have made. If I could take your place, I would in a heartbeat," she said to him. "I hope you don't hate me after you wake up. Honestly, I would be heartbroken if you lost your feelings for me." She began to cry again but continued to speak, "I don't want this to screw up my chance to actually be with you as a girlfriend. I have had a crush on you since I first met you. I do all the weird things girls do when they really like a guy, I squeal when you text me, I feel really happy when I see you or hear your voice, and stuff like that. I just want you to know that I do have true feelings for you and that I never meant to hurt you." She turned his hand over and stroked it with her other hand. The more time passed by, the more depressed and worried Sakura felt. She did not ever take her eyes off of him or let go of his hand. Sakura wanted Grimmjow to know that she was there for him, waiting for him to wake up. As it began to get late Sakura felt tired. She decided to scoot the chair up closer to Grimmjow's bed and rest her head on the side of his bed. She fell asleep at his bedside hoping that he would wake up soon.
