Well I wasn't going to write this at first because my mom said that I shouldnt write for a couple to see if it helped my wrist, but I just couldn't help myself. I'll work through the pain. Um that answer to what Kris found won't be in this chapter, but in a later one. So I won't tell ya if you're right or not, srry Abby-Flourite (Thanks for the reviews btw, keep em coming ^^) anyways I hope you enjoy this chapter either way.

"Even the Devil may cry when he looks around Hell and realizes that he's there alone."
-Acheron (Devil May Cry)
Opening my eye's proved to be one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. At least that's how I felt at this moment. Groaning, I sat up in the bed and tried to rub them open. Finally after much rubbing, they opened slightly, and I could see that we were in my Grandmother's house in the country and I was alone in the room. Throwing the blanket off me, I climbed out the twin bed. Going to the dresser against the wall, I was glad to see some of the spare clothes that were left here for when we used to stay the night. Luckily, they were clothes that I could fit in and not any of my smaller ones. Pulling out a pair of jeans, and a long sleeved Level 27 shirt, I got dressed and walked down the stairs to find out where everyone was. My main concern being a certain hot-headed Arrancar.
As I got to the bottom floor, I could hear a deep masculine voice coming from the parlor room to my right. Dodging screaming children, I followed the sounds I could hear. It almost sounded like a fight of wills was going on beyond the door. I could tell the masculine voice was Grimmjow's and the much softer one's were my mother and Great Grandmother. Sliding the door open, I walked in and they all shut up and looked at me. "Don't mind me, continue with whatever you were talking about."
Grimmjow gave me a quick once over, before glaring back down at my much shorter mother. "I don't care what you say, it isn't going to happen."
"Together you're stronger then any being, you could destroy your enemy with a single blow, and yet you refuse." Wow, my mom was pissed, and that was a rare occurrence.
"Mom," She glared over at me. "I'm not going to force him into something he doesn't want. So quick trying to mind rape him, it isn't going to work."
"Ugh," Throwing her hands in the air, she sat down in the brown leather desk chair. "If you two only knew what was coming."
That caught my attention and I went to stand next to her, my eye's narrowed. "What do you know that we don't?" She waved me off, but I wasn't having it. "Tell me what you know that I don't, Mom. Quick trying to protect me when I'm more then capable of doing it on my own."
"That healer found something yesterday, didn't she?" Grimmjow stepped up beside me, and when my mom didn't say anything to either confirm or deny he went ballistic. "I fucking knew it! I knew she was lying." Leaning down he grabbed my mom by the shoulders, his grip tight. "Tell me what she fucking found or I'll go get the information from her myself."
"Release her," My Great Grandmother's soft voice seemed to wrap around Grimmjow, and I could see the surprise in his eye's when he let go of my mother. "You seem to forget, that my power is over the dead. Your concern for Alexis is understandable, but you need to keep your calm."
He glared at the elder before moving to stand in the corner, away from all of us. I was stunned that he'd backed down so easily, that was one scary power this woman had. Shaking it off I turned to her. "You may have power over the dead, but you have nothing over me. I want to know what the hell is going on right now."
"The Soul Reapers will be back, and they will found you." She completely ignored my question. "In order for the two of you to stay hidden, we need to bin-"
"Let them find me, I'll kill 'em all." Grimmjow interrupted her. "I don't need to bind my life to another's for that."
"Listen, they can easily find us together. Our spiritual energy is enormous when we're this close. Why don't we just separate and they'll have a harder time tracking us." I looked to Grimmjow, and as hard as this was, I couldn't let him get hurt again. "You can return to Hueco Mundo, while I go back to New York. They won't be able to track us if we're in two different dimensions."
"Lex, I don't think that's a good idea." My mom stood up to look at me.
"It's the only way I can think of that doesn't involve us doing something one sided." I grinned at him, "What do you think? Does that work with you, or did you have another plan?"
"Sounds good to me. I'm ready to get out of this fucking place anyways. Too many humans around for my liking." He pushed off the wall and left the room.
Turning back to my mom, I smiled. "It's for the best anyways. We're just too different." I started to leave when she grabbed a hold of my hand to stop me. "Don't Mom, I'm checking flights tonight, and I'm on the next one back to New York. That way you and everyone else will stay safe."
"Lex wait, this doesn't have to be like this." She yelled as I left the room to find Grimmjow.
He was standing in the backyard looking up at the bright blue sky, when he heard a door open behind him, and turned around to see Alexis walking towards him. A sad smile on her face. She stopped about a foot away from him, and folded her arms across her chest. "Well I guess this is good-bye then."
"That's what it looks like." Placing his hands in his pockets, he looked down at her as she starred up at him with blue eye's just a couple shades lighter then his. Clearing his throat he opened the Garganta. "Take care of yourself, Pet."
As he stepped through he heard her call out to him and grab a hold of his arm. "Grimmjow, wait." He stopped and turned back to look at her. She gripped the edges of his white jacket in her hands and tried to pull him down to her, only she ended up pulling herself to him. "If you're ever in New York City, look me up." With one final crushing kiss, she smiled against his lips. "Take care of yourself, Arrancar."
He smirked and gave her a wink. "You don't have to worry about me. Now that all the other Espada are gone, I'll finally have to place to myself." The rip began to close and he could've sworn he saw tears tracking down her cheeks.
Rukia stood in a tree, trying to pinpoint the location of the Arrancar and the human female, when she felt the strong spiritual pressure of someone opening a Garganta. "Ichigo," she called down to the orange haired boy below. When he looked up at her, she went on. "He's opened the Garganta back to Hueco Mundo. I can't feel the female anymore either."
"You think she's gone with him?" He asked, jumping up to stand next to her.
Rukia shook her head. "No, it's as if she's disappeared entirely. His, spiritual energy is lingering, but it's not enough for him to still he around. He's left the World of the Living without her."
"Damn it," Ichigo rubbed the back of his head. "Well it looks like we'll have to wait for one of them to pop back up on the radar. Maybe we can get Captain Kurotsuchi to get us back into Hueco Mundo to go after him."
Nodding in agreement, Rukia jumped out of the tree and opened the Senkaimon gate. "I'll have a lower ranked Squad member hang around incase she shows up."
"The old man isn't going to be happy about this." Ichigo mumbled as they returned to the Soul Society.
Two days later, I was back in the northern state of New York. As I departed the airport, I couldn't shake the feeling of loneliness that I've felt since watching Grimmjow disappear, not even the company of my family could fill the void. Sighing, I grabbed my bags and looked around for the familiar face of my best friend. I spotted her waving excitedly running my way, I saw that Dalton was following closely behind her.
"Oh my god Lexie, I've missed you so much." Mia said crying as she hugged me tightly. "Don't worry about coming back to campus either. They've been informed to watch out for anyone not suppose to be there after hours."
Shrugging, I hugged Dalton before he took my bags. Now that Grimmjow wasn't around anymore, I was having trouble controlling my powers like I had been since arriving in Hueco Mundo. It looked like I'd have to do all that training anyways. "I'm not worried about it. I don't think it'll ever happen again."
"Just the same, Mia is moving in as your roommate." I started to tell him that wasn't going to necessary when he shook his head. "It's not up for agreement. Now get your ass in the car." I laughed as he tried to be tough with me.
"Alright, I'm going but I don't need a babysitter guys." I said walking out of the airport to find his Honda Civic waiting for us. Climbing in I sat in the front passenger seat. When they climbed in after me, I turned around to stare at my friend. "I really don't need you guys babying me, I'm not helpless."
"We know that Lex, we're just worried is all." Mia said with sad eye's.
I really didn't feel like arguing with them right now, so I just cave in. "Fine, but stay out of my soda's and we'll get along just fine." Turning around I listened while they both laughed.
After about twenty minutes of driving, I started to feel like something wasn't right. I've had this feeling since Grimm left, but it was little and didn't normally stick around for long. This though, was different and when I felt like something punched me in the gut, I doubled over. "What the hell?" I whispered, my arms wrapping around my stomach.
"What's wrong, Alexis?" Dalton asked, glancing over at me.
I shook my head as the feeling subsided. "Nothing, just a little hungry." I lied as we drove into the dorm parking a lot.
"Want me to go out and pick something up for us to eat?" He asked.
"No, I think I'll just order in. No need to waste your gas when we can waste someone else's."
"Good point," Parking the Honda, we all climbed out and walked to my dorm. It would take a couple days for Mia to get the transfer so I'd be alone until then. Suddenly though, I didn't want to be around my friends. Something told me they'd be in danger if they stayed around me for too much longer and the danger wouldn't be coming for the Soul Reapers, but something else.
Aww Grimmy's gone and Lex is back in NY. Hopefully he come back soon. Remember to Review ^^ BTW I don't own the quote just thought it would fit here. I might start using them before each chapter idk yet.
