As soon as Grimmjow and Ulquiorra walked through the door, they both could tell that something was wrong. Shiro and Ichigo were just staring down at the floor while Ggio sat in the chair next to them crying silent. Grimmjow then looked down the hallway where he saw Nnoitra walking down slowly. He told Ulquiorra to go sit down then he walked down to meet Nnoitra to see what the hell was going on. But his friend just brushed past him and headed towards Ulquiorra who was just walking over to sit down. He grabbed the raven's shoulder hand punched him right in the jaw. Ulquiorra crash landed onto the floor on his side.
"Nnoitra what the fuck is your problem?" Grimmjow yelled as he ran over to help Ulquiorra to his feet. The other looked daze for a minute his eyes unfocused for a second, Grimmjow wiped the blood from Ulquiorra's chin that was coming from his busted lip.
"It's your damn fault….it's all his fault!" Nnoitra yelled his eyes red from crying too much, his voice a little hoarse. Ggio suddenly stood up and grabbed Nnoitra so he was a few feet away from Ulquiorra, he knew where this was going and the way Ulquiorra is now that didn't need to happen.
"Listen I know what happened is…..bad but don't go blaming people," Ggio said. Nnoitra looked at him from the corner of his eyes, a scowl on his lips; looking back over to Grimmjow he could see that he was worried but right now he couldn't care less.
"It's his entire fault; they were after you weren't they?" Nnoitra suddenly asked. This is exactly what Ggio was talking about; he knew that Ulquiorra was blaming himself for this. I mean they'd known each other for a while now and he knew that going out with Grimmjow and hanging out with him and his friends could put them all at risk. So for Nnoitra to say this out loud…let's just say things are probably going to get out of hand.
"Nnoitra you need to calm down," Ichigo said from his chair, "Yah ya causing a scene ere'," Shiro added.
"I don't give a damn!" Nnoitra shouted, he looked back over to Ulquiorra who still didn't say anything yet, but his whole body was trembling.
"It's because of him that Telsa's is dead," he said screamed, "Are you happy….he's dead now," he added.
"Nnoitra STOP!" Grimmjow bellowed he was getting angry and really frustrated. Seeing the Notorious Nnoitra breaking down, hearing that Telsa just died for his sake, and seeing Ulquiorra withdrawal into him-self is just too much for him to handle.
Everybody was quiet, no one saying anything until a nurse came and asked if Telsa had any family members. Ggio said that they were on their way there, and nurse just nodded her head before walking to the back again.
"I…..I'm sorry," Everyone turned their heads to Ulquiorra who was looking at the ground, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Ulquiorra," Ggio started but the raven moved out of Grimmjow's arms and ran for the door. Grimmjow reached out trying to grab Ulquiorra's arm, but he was too fast and was outside in minutes. He was going to follow him but Ggio grabbed his shoulder before he could leave.
"Just let him go," he said; moving from Nnoitra who now walking over to sit in one of the chairs, he pulled Grimmjow away from the others so they could speak privately.
"Listen I know you want to go out there and comfort him, but you need to give him space," Ggio stated firmly.
"So you expect to me to just leave him out there?" Grimmjow asked incredulous. He knew that if Ulquiorra stayed out there alone in the cold, something was bound to happen.
"Grimmjow please understand this," Ggio said, "Ulquiorra is very…..sensitive, he needs time to process all the things that happened and because Nnoitra yelled at him….im pretty sure that he just wants to be alone," he concluded. Grimmjow looked at Ggio warily not really sure what that this was a good idea, but in the end he just nodded his head in agreement. He knew really hoped that Ulquiorra would be okay.
"Alright," Grimmjow muttered.
-Outside-
It was cold, it was snowing, and it was raining, was that even possible; for it to rain and snow at the same time. It didn't matter to him; the weather was the complete mirror of his mood. Ulquiorra was sitting down in the park on one of the swings, his hair was matted to his head, his clothes soaked through and through but he didn't care. His mind was still set on what happened tonight, everything was a complete disaster. Because of him, because he got too close to Grimmjow and his friends, it was because of him that Telsa was dead. He's dead, no longer in this world, and it was his fault; Nnoitra said it all ready.
He was happy that Grimmjow lived, but that just gave Gin and Aizen another chance to get him. In Ulquiorra's eyes he knew that if he stayed here than people are going to end up hurt or worse dead like Telsa and Ulquiorra did want that. He didn't want anybody dying on his accord; he can't let that happen…..again. Tears were streaming down his cheeks he knew what he was about to do could kill his relationship with Grimmjow, but it was worth it. He got off the swings and started to walk down the street.
-4:30 a.m.-
Grimmjow was finally home but Ulquiorra wasn't when Ggio said that Ulquiorra needed to time. But it's been what almost three hours since his boyfriend left, and he was worrying sick. Not only was this the worst New Years of his life, Ulquiorra was out there in that snow and the last time he checked the other didn't have on jacket at all. He tried calling, he tried going out there and looking for him but with no luck at all.
"Goddanmit!" He yelled is frustration, he punched the wall with his fist the dry all scattering to the floor. There was a knock at his door; getting excited he ran over thinking that it would be Ulquiorra, he opened the door to see Nnoitra. Grimmjow thought about hitting his friend in the face for what he said to Ulquiorra.
"Im sorry," he said simply. Grimmjow looked at Nnoitra surprised for a second; did he just seriously apologize to me? "I know what I said to Ulquiorra was pretty out of line, I didn't mean it," he started again. "It's just that I was mad because of Telsa and all the shit that happened ya know?' he asked.
Grimmjow raked a hand through his long hair and sighed, he really didn't expect that from Nnoitra of all people.
"Its fine," he muttered under his breath. "Is he here?" he suddenly asked. Grimmjow's face instantly turned into a scowl, he really couldn't help but get mad at Nnoitra because he is the reason why Ulquiorra is out there somewhere. However Nnoitra did say he was very sorry so he couldn't be too pissed off about it.
"He's out there somewhere I don't know, Ggio said that he needed to clear his mind," Grimmjow growled.
Nnoitra looked a little taken aback, "He's gone….in that?" he asked as he pointed over his shoulder where it was snowing and raining…..awful weather really it was. Grimmjow looked outside again….Ulquiorra was in that, probably cold, lost, and hungry and what was he doing, sitting here in home. What if something happened? What if he being mugged or something? "Grimmjow?" Nnoitra said. But the other didn't hear him, he was too wrapped up and thinking about Ulquiorra.
What if he gets sick? Or what if he gets raped or worse what if he meets Gin again? Oh god he couldn't take that, he just couldn't. He needed Ulquiorra next to him now; he needed him by his side.
"Dude Grimmjow…calm down," Nnoitra said, but Grimmjow didn't hear. His breaths coming in hitches, he was pretty sure he was having a panic attack, or hyperventilating it was something because the next the thing he knows he's falling. Thankfully Nnoitra caught him just in time before he fell onto the ground.
"Grimmjow…..hey come on wake up!" he shouted as he shook Grimmjow's shoulders but the only response was him whispering Ulquiorra name. Nnoitra didn't know what to do in this situation he really wasn't the type to babysit anybody especially if that person is Grimmjow. He dragged his blue headed friend inside and kicked the door close with his foot. He lifted Grimmjow the best he could and placed him on the couch, he sighed before taking out his phone. There was no way in hell was he dealing with alone.
-Meanwhile-
"That was terrible," Gin muttered as he watched Yyfordt tie the part of his sleeve to his brother's shoulder. Things couldn't have gone worse for them the whole plan was to get to Ulquiorra and that went horribly wrong.
"At least the bleeding stopped," Szayel pointed out as he looked down at his clothed shoulder. Gin gave them an icy stare he really wished that Aizen would have chosen somebody else for their little plan of theirs. They were currently sitting by one of the parks hiding behind all the trees and bushes; he was kind of surprised that the police haven't come for them yet.
"You guys do realize that we can't go back to Aizen empty handed right?" Gin said pointedly. The brothers nodded their heads in understanding, and as if on cue something caught Szayel's eyes. It might have been snowing and a little hard to see, but those piercing emeralds eyes were pretty hard to miss.
"I think we won't have to go empty-handing after all," he said as he pointed over to Ulquiorra who was walking away from the park. Gin looked over and a smile formed on his lips, maybe it was fate…..well it's gonna be Ulquiorra fate when he meets Aizen again.
"Stay here…..I'll do this," Gin said that exciting feeling flowing through his body again. He ran over quietly as he could and once he was close enough behind Ulquiorra he grabbed him from behind. His hand over his mouth and nose so he couldn't breathe after a minute the raven stopped struggling and fell limp into Gin's arms.
"Nicely done," Yyfordt commented as he and Szayel walked up to Gin's side who was smiling like a Cheshire cat. He lifted Ulquiorra onto his back and secured him to make sure he wouldn't fall.
"Hmm shall we go then?" he asked the brother who shook their heads approvingly.
-Phone call later-
"What?" Ggio exclaimed as he paced Grimmjow's living room. Nnoitra had called Ggio and told him what happened and now he was freaking out.
"Yah he said that you said that Ulquiorra needed some time….he took it and he's still not back," Nnoitra explained. "And because of that king over here overreacted and had a fucking panic attack and fainted," he added as he looked over at the still knocked out Grimmjow. He looked pretty bad, the color in his face is all drained leaving him with a sick color, and his hair was a tangled mess.
"This is bad you…real bad," Ggio in a nervous voice, "Where are the twins?" he suddenly asked Nnoitra, he gave and I don't know look; his phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Nnoitra where's Grimmjow?" Shiro asked in a panicky voice.
"Uh, he's lying on the couch, he passed out a couple minutes ago, where the hell are you guys?" Nnoitra asked.
"Listen Ichigo found Ulquiorra….well he saw Ulquiorra being dragged somewhere and he's following them now," Shiro started, "He told me to go ahead and come get you guys so be outside," he said before hanging up. Nnoitra shoved his phone back in his pocket and looked over to Grimmjow who still knocked out.
"What's going on, what did Shiro say?" Ggio asked hurriedly.
"Ichigo found Ulquiorra and he's following them and Shiro is on his way to come get…..and we need to wake him up." Nnoitra explained. Ggio nodded his head before walking over to Grimmjow; he gave Nnoitra a knowing looked before grabbing a fistful of blue hair and yanked it. Teal eyes snapped opened in an instant.
"The fuck is your damn problem?" Grimmjow shirked as he rubbed his sore head. Ggio quickly explained everything as he walked over to the door; Grimmjow got up to and walked over to the door. Once he opened it he saw Shiro, and the look of terror was written all over his face.
"What's wrong?" Grimmjow asked. He watched as Shiro catch his breath for a minute, "its Ichigo….and Ulquiorra."
-In Pursuit- (couple minutes before)
Ichigo did his best to keep up; it's pretty hard to run after car for over two blocks now. He saw the car pull into a long driveway that led up to a huge house. He saw the street sign and pulled out his phone to call his brother.
"Ichigo,"
"Shiro I found out where Ulquiorra is," he said quickly. He told him what street they were on and everything that happened so far.
"You guy's better hurry because Ulquiorra's not really in good shape he looks real sick," Ichigo said not aware of somebody behind him.
"I got it, just stay there and—there was a loud scream from the other end of the line—….Ichi, what's going on" Shiro asked. There was loud cracking sound and then the call ended, "Ichigo!"
