Hellooooo my loves. FF is still janky with the updates so please make sure you are current=)

now we are getting to the good stuff. =)

War is overdue

The time has come for you

To shoot your leaders down

Join forces underground

Lose control

Increasing pace

Warped and bewitched

And time to erase

Whatever they say

These people are torn

Wild and bereft

Assassin is born

Muse-Assassin

POV

Something was shaking him, something….pink…fuck, Szayel that annoying little shit why couldn't he just let him sleep? He thought somehow he shouldn't be sleeping but he wanted to badly if only he could be left alone. He snarled at the intrusion and then he heard a silky voice that sent shivers down his spine.

"Now now, it figures you would be the first to find him doesn't it Szayel?" The Octava espada's name was said with dripping sweetness. Oh shit, that voice, Aizen. He slit his eyes to better see what was going on and saw Aizen walking towards the man, slowly, like a predator. No he thought, no, run Szayel, move, anything. He felt Szayel's reiatsu flare dangerously and was immediately smothered by Aizen's, he found he could hardly breathe. Damnnit I can't fucking do anything he thought angrily. He cried out, hunched over in pain and looked up into two pairs of eyes.

"You need me" Szayel muttered "I have to help Grimmjow deliver the baby." Aizen paused to consider this

"Is it normally like this?" Szayel shook his head negative.

"He is abused and malnourished" he sneered at the brunette, more self-assured than a few moments ago" thanks to you. And now is suffering a difficult birth." Grimmjow ground his teeth and bit back another cry but his eyes started to water. Fucking damnnit could someone just get a painkiller on board here?! Szayel was getting bolder but he had to admit he had Aizen by the balls here, the birth was proving problematic and at the moment Szayel was the only one who could really be of some use. He didn't want to beg, but he needed relief and if this child stayed in him much longer it was going to kill them both.

"P-p-please let him" he managed between sharp intakes of breath. Aizen nodded curtly.

"Fine but that child is mine, one wrong move Granz and I kill you, Grimmjow and the child is this understood?" He looked at each espada pointedly. They both nodded. Szayel began to rummage immediately in the room searching for what he needed, finding it he came at Grimmjow with a damn big needle, the last thing he saw before the darkness overtook him was Szayel's worried face bent over him mouthing something…what was that he was saying? Ichigo….Ichigos what?

POV

He was scared shitless, he had managed to escape to come and attempt to help Grimmjow only to run into Aizen. The man was going to kill him right on the spot, he could sense it until a stroke of genius flitted across his mind.

"You need me" he stated with more confidence than he felt "I have to help Grimmjow deliver the baby." He saw the man turning it around in his mind

"Is it normally like this?" The asshole asked. Of course not you dickbag he wanted to yell, you've beaten him bloody and fuck knows what else oh and he's not eating and looks like he spent years in a concentration camp he's so drained of reiatsu yeah this is totally normal. Pausing he pushed his glasses up

"He is abused and malnourished, thanks to you. And will now be suffering a difficult birth." He said with a sneer letting the man know his disapproval. Aizen's eyes narrowed dangerously and just as he seemed ready to strike out Grimmjow let out a small whimper and begged for help.

Which is how he found himself, needle in hand knocking Grimmjow out with a heavy dose of Morphine, Demerol, Midazolam and various other narcotics. He was going to have to perform a C-section, due to his weakened state he would be unable to deliver normally which would be to expel the child's reiatsu out of his abdomen with the help of his partner, seeing as his partner wasn't here he was going to have to go in and fish that kid out. This was not what he wanted to do; he had hoped of course that Ichigo would manage to get his orange headed ass down here and save the day. Sighing he realized that even if he did do that there was still Aizen to contend with any honestly Grimmjow was reaching the point where he may lose his and the baby's life. If that reiatsu stayed in him too long it the child would die and the reiatsu from the child would turn toxic and gradually infiltrate his systems effectively shutting his organs down; a horrible way to die.

Hesitantly and slower than necessary he cleaned Grimmjow's abdomen with iodine, hoping to sweet kami Ichigo was coming. Aizen stood behind him, watching every move he made; there was no way he could get out of this he had to do this. Resigning himself he dragged the scalpel over the man's abdomen and saw the angry welts of blood as he cut deeper.

POV

He saw when the first group joined the fray; a sea of pink flew by him followed by a cackle and the quick glimpse of Nnoitra and Santa Teresa. He never thought he would be so glad to see that damn toothpick in his life, wiping the blood and sweat off his brow Renji readied his stance and stared at his opponent, Tousen, if you want to call it staring he could hardly see for all the blood, he knew Tousen was strong and was glad to see that damned toothpick take over; Renji knew he wasn't a match for the captain he could hardly stand. He looked down, the front of his body was slowly becoming soaked with blood and he felt a dribble creep out of his mouth. He smiled heh he thought this is all like déjà vu. He remembered the last time he had been this beat up was when he had first met Starrk, he looked for the brunette and quickly saw him fighting off some hollows. His form perfect as he aimed Lilynette at them and blasted them the whole time looking bored and tired.

Pain, searing pain, in his stomach. He clutched it and looked down, fuck Tousen.

His opponents sword was buried in his gut, he coughed and looked down again trying to discern if it was real, he thought Nnoitra was fighting him now, how the hell? Nnoitra looked just as shocked and released his sword in anger and outrage at not being taken seriously by Tousen.

"Oh, I'm not done with your friend, but your guard was down. Impossible to resist this chance."

"And this is your idea of just?! Stabbing someone in the back?" He asked weakly coughing up blood. Tousen removed the sword with a sickening squishing sound and Renji began to fall down into darkness, he felt a pulse on his neck and then strong arms enclosed him. He looked up to see Starrk, sighing he put his head on the man's chest.

"Just like last time ne?" He whispered, clutching the man's shirt.

"Whenever you fall Renji, I will catch you." Starrk said never taking his eyes off Tousen. Gently putting Renji he down away from the battle he brushed the red hair back from the man's forehead where it was matted with blood.

"Rest, I will take care of this."

"Starrk…." The brunette raised his eyebrows. "Be careful, I…I need you." He muttered. He saw a smile tug at Starrk's lips.

"I will Renji, I find that I need you as well." And before he could say more he was gone, Renji let the darkness overtake him as his mate avenged him.

POV

There were too many fucking hollows everywhere. Tousen was busy fighting Starrk and Gin was only pretending to fight Matsumoto and had let Szayel and himself sneak through. Aizen was nowhere to be seen which to him meant one thing, Aizen was wherever Grimmjow was. He felt the frantic pulsing of Szayels' reiatsu, almost as if in warning but he was unable to move any faster constantly slowed down by these hollows. He couldn't feel anything more from Grimmjow which had him on edge, either he was dead, or that weak.

Finally he made it through and rushed to where he felt the pink haired espada. Throwing the door open he took in the scene, Aizen stood behind Szayel, dangerously close in fact he could kill the man with a flick of the wrist and Szayel was bent over a prostrate body, his hands wet with blood.

Wait, that was Grimmjow.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" He roared, marching up toward the table not even batting an eyelash at Aizen.

"Ichigo, I had to, he needed to" Szayel began.

Aizen moved in front of Szayel so that he was between the two men.

"Grimmjow needs to have a c-section to birth the child, and Szayel is doing just that since you weren't here."

"I'm here now" Ichigo grumbled, "now move Aizen!"

"Ah Ichigo, I don't think so, this is my child."

"The hell it is!" He brandished his sword ready for a fight. He looked to Szayel who was busily helping Grimmjow.

"It is, you can have Grimmjow back, if he lives, when I am done. This is nothing just a child you will never meet, and a lover that probably won't survive the birth." Aizen said smoothly, Ichigo was slowly becoming more agitated.

"IT IS EVERYTHING! YOU CAN'T TAKE AWAY WHAT I LOVE YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!" He roared so loud even the fighters on the first floor stopped for a moment. His reiastu became dangerous and dark, crackling and flickering around him. His eyes began to turn black and he called all his strength.

"Ichi…." He snapped his head toward the table to see Grimmjow reaching out with a hand. The man wasn't supposed to be awake!

"Ichi…." He murmured again "I…Ichi I love you, you fuckin bastard." He got out before he collapsed into unconsciousness again. Szayel's mouth hung open as he saw a light in Grimmjow's chest pulse faintly and push toward the surface. The light was coming from his left shoulder….Ichigo and Aizen watched as it burst free and bucked the man's body upward with the force of it.

"The hogoyku…" Ichigo breathed. Did his body just expel it? Aizen for his part seemed to not know what was going on either. The small orb flashed for a moment before it settled before Ichigo hovering in front of his heart for a moment before plunging inside him.
