"Maybe you're not willing to give up a lover who's colder than you are."
-Narcissus in Chains

"Don't die Ichigo!" Orihime cried out, tears pouring down her cheeks.

I looked over at her stunned for a moment, until Grimmjow's yelling pulled me back. He was running towards Ichigo at full speed, his arm out, ready to shove his hand through the boy's body. Before he could make contact through, Ichigo grabbed hold of his hand, stopping him. I could see from here the stunned looked on Grimmjow's face.

They stood there for a second. From here I couldn't tell what was going on, but it seemed to me, that Ichigo was saying something. I stopped paying attention when I saw his black blade rising up, just before it slashed down across Grimmjow's chest.

"No!" I cried out. Both Orihime and Nel turned to looked at me. "Grimmjow," his name was said on a whisper. I couldn't believe it, he'd been beaten.

Suddenly, his hand reached out and grabbed Ichigo's blade. "You're a fool Ichigo, I'm still here. You think that you've won. You think that you've beaten me. I'll scatter your bones in the sand!" Even from this distance we could plainly hear him yelling.

"Ichigo, look out!" Orihime shouted out.

My heart began to pound in my chest as Grimmjow punched his hand into Ichigo's stomach. As he rushed Ichigo again, it looked as if he'd gain the upper hand, and as he kicked Ichigo in the gut, I knew that I wasn't going to be able to stand around to wait for something to happen. I needed to find a way down from this building.

Running to the other side, away from Orihime and Nel, I searched for some way down, finding nothing. "I guess I'm going to have to make my own way." I said sighing, as the atmosphere around us changed from bright and sunny to midnight blue. Shrugging it off I concentrated on getting down.

As I formed the cyclone that would take me down to the ground I could vaguely hear Ichigo yelling in the disgruntled voice. "I'm going to take Orihime and Alexis, all of my friends and bring them home safe with me! I won't lose to you!"

Turning around, I watched in horror as Grimmjow began to fall out of the sky. If not for Ichigo catching him, he'd have plummeted to the ground faster then I could've caught him. As I screamed out, the swirling wind and dust, behind me grew in speed and size. I felt like my entire world was crashing down upon me. Just like the day my mother called to tell me my dad was gone. I wouldn't be able to stand going through something like that again, only difference about this time was, I watched helplessly as Grimmjow was killed before my eye's.

Jumping into the twister, I closed my eye's to keep the dirt from stinging them, and the tears from spilling out. As I landed on the ground smoothly, I threw my hand in front of me to catch that orange haired bastard in it's grasp. I saw the look of shock and disbelief in his brown eye's. That mask was no longer in place, it may have helped him defeat Grimmjow, but it wasn't going to save him from my wraith.

"What the hell are you doing, you psycho!" He yelled out. "I'm here to save you!"

"I never asked for you to save me!" I yelled, dropping my hand so the tornado disappeared. "Maybe I never wanted or needed saving."

He stood up using his sword. "They kidnapped you just like they did Orihime, they're the bad guys and you're defending him!"

"Shut up!" A thin sheet of ice formed over his mouth. "They may have kidnapped me from my home, but most of the people here have been nothing but nice to me." I was pissed, and I knew that. But as the air around me went from hot to cold, and the rain began a slight drizzle, I knew I could control it. Use it as I saw fit. Right now, I wanted to kill this kid. "For all I know, you and your friends could be the bad guys."

"Alexis, please stop." Orihime's voice came from my right. She was running towards us, with Nel at her side. I don't know how she managed to get down by herself, but at the moment she was in my way. "Ichigo, is a good guy. Don't hurt him."

"Stop right there, Orihime." A thick wall of ice formed in front of her. Keeping her from coming any closer. "I don't want to hurt you, so stay out of my way."

When I looked back at the boy, I noticed that his eye's had gone wide. Too fast for me to react, he took the handle of his sword and cracked it over the ice, breaking it. "It's Grimmjow." He said, his eye's narrowing.

Turning around, I starred in disbelief as Grimmjow stood before us. Blood pouring unchecked from his many wounds. As his cat form vanished off his body, turning into his sword, I felt my whole body stiffen, and the wall of ice that I placed in front of Orihime melted away.

"You can't defeat me. Look at you, you're too weak." Grimmjow rushed Ichigo, only this time, it was slow enough for me to watch. I felted someone's hand grabbing my shoulder and shoving me out of the way. "I'll never lose to you!"

Ichigo caught his wrist. "Just let it go Grimmjow, you've already lost. You say you're some kind of king, but killing everyone you happen to dislike, makes you a king with no subjects. If you truly hate me, then I'll fight you whenever you want, but for now you need to give up."

At first I thought he was going to do just that, but his muscles tensed and he yanked his wrist out of Ichigo's grasp. "Never! I'll show you-"

Out of nowhere, a large double moon shaped weapon slammed into Grimmjow's shoulder/neck, knocking him to the ground. Looking over I saw that it was the same guy that had pulled me out of Grimm's bed a couple days ago. Nnoitra.

"You just don't know when to call it quiets." He said pulling his sword back to him and catching the large weapon in one hand. "Hurry up and die, I want him for myself."

"What the hell? Who are you?" Ichigo asked. "Are you an Espada? I asked you a question."

"Nnoitra, you bastard." Grimmjow growled out, trying to sit up.

"What is this? Are you still alive?" He asked, beginning to attack him. Ichigo jumped in the way blocking it. "Huh, well what are you doing?"

"You tell me first, why would you attack a guy who can't even move." He asked, before Nnoitra knocked him away.

"Grimmjow, you are a miserable sight." Nnoitra looked back at me, and I glared back, not going to let this man scare. He smiled and winked before looking back down at Grimm. "First you lose to this guy then he protects you. You are ridiculous. I told you once before that I would show that pet of yours what a real man is like, and after I finish killing you and this brat off, I'll show both of them." He cast him off and turned back to Ichigo. "Alright Soul Reaper, what's your name?"

Turning my attention off the new fight, I started towards Grimmjow while Orihime tried to get to Ichigo, only to have a man appear behind her and I. I recognized him as one of Nnoitra's servants, Tesra. Has he tried to grab a hold of the two of us, I generated a gust of wind to push my body just out of his reach. As I looked back to him, I saw that he now a tight hold on Orihime.

I was at a crossroad. I could either go back and try to help the girl, or I could get to my blue haired lover. Making my decision, I gave the girl a sympatric look. "I'm sorry Orihime, we're just on different pages." Turning on my heel, I left her behind, eye's wide and tears staining her cheeks. Strangely, I didn't feel guilty about my choose.

Sliding on the dirt, like I was coming in for a home run, I came up to Grimmjow's side. Looking down at him, I could feel my heart breaking, if I didn't do something soon, I'd loose him forever. I never used to believe that someone could fall for another as fast as those couples do in romance novels, until I came here and meet this man. I would never make fun of those dumb heroines again.

I gave him a quick once over before commenting, "You look like hell, Grimmjow."

"Tsk," His blue eye's locked with mine, and I could tell by looking into them that he was in pain. "What the hell are you doing here, I thought you would've been long gone by now."

I shrugged, "Well, I was thinking about it, but my plans were ruined when Ulquiorra attacked me from behind." Sighing, I touched his forehead. "Can you move at all?"

His eye's narrowed, "Why do you care?"

"You're seriously asking me that?" He just continued to stare at me. Shaking my head I brushed his blue strands back. "I don't know why, but I care what happens to you. Now if you can get us back to my world, more specifically, my mom's place, then I can get you healed."

Those beautiful blue eye's widened in surprise. "But how, you can't-"

"No I can't, but I'm also not the only woman in my family with unique abilities. My Aunt Kris has the power to heal any wounds. But you have to get me back to Florida, and not die on me."

He carefully began to sit up and I wrapped my arm around his shoulders, supporting most of his weight. Once he was completely on his feet, I looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to us. I felt him take a deep breath, looking up at him I waited for him to speak. "I can get us there, but it's going to take the last bit of my energy," He looked down at me. "You'll have to get us through the Garganta and once through, you'll have to get us to the ground. I can't guarantee that we'll come out where you want, but I'll damn sure try."

Shrugging him to a more comfortable position on my shoulders, I nodded. "Well, like my Great-grandma always says; trying is better then failing. Should we go somewhere else, or can you open it here?"

He shook his head, "Here's fine." Before me, a black cavernous hole opened up. As far a I could see, there was nothing but a dark blackness. "You're going to have to focus on using the energy inside the Garganta to get us through."

"Does wind work inside there?" I asked, my voice shaking a bit. It wasn't like I was afraid of the dark, but that wasn't a normal darkness.

"I don't see why not," His voice wasn't as strong as I liked to hear it and I could feel his body leaning more on me.

Nodding, I created a large enough cyclone to carry both mine and Grimmjow's weight through. Taking a deep breath I bucked up my courage and said, "Alright, hold on tight, this could get bumpy. Keep you're arms and legs inside the ride." We were swept up inside, and I maneuvered us towards the middle where it wasn't as hectic.

My control of the twister wasn't as good as it could've been, but for just learning it in the last 5 hours, I thought I was doing damn good. The Garganta wasn't as dark as I thought it was going to be, with a slight light coming from somewhere inside. Beside me though, Grimmjow's breathing was beginning to fade, if I didn't get us out of here soon, he'd die. Narrowing my eye's and tightening my hold on him, I pushed us faster forwards. Sighing with relief when I saw a silver of light ahead.

"Hang on Grimm, we're almost there." His only response was a low groan.

I expected us to be close to my mom's home, but was shocked to see exactly where we'd landed. Just above my mom's home. Lowering the tornado, to the concrete around the pool in the backyard, I gently laid Grimmjow down, and stood up. Looking down at my clothes, I winced at the state I was in. Blood stained the crisp white outfit, it looked like I'd just left a bloody gang fight. Thinking about it, I had been in a gang fight, just not in the middle of it.

Sighing, I squared my shoulders and started to the back door. I just hoped someone was home.

Remember to review, might get another out tonight but I've got friends over so maybe tomorrow.
