Chapter 22 – Forced to Decide on Who to Save the Lives Of, After One is Told One is Bearing a Child (Grimmjow Part), Never Mess with a Stray Dog and Losing a Former Enemy, who Made the Decision to Save and Not Kill, Instead (Renji Part)
(Author's Note – In this Chapter Grimmjow and Renji, have been kidnapped by the Enemy and they are taken to Heuco Mundo, along with Ichigo's Family and Children. This is because Aizen, wants Ichigo to be trapped in Heuco Mundo, while he sends a team of well selected Arrancar destroy the Soul Society. While a Jealous Gin Ichimaru, tries to seduce Renji for his own reasons, yet to be explained.)
Renji's P.O.V:
"Hold him down, Yumi."
"Gahhh!... GET HIM OFF ME, NNOTRIA GILGA?!"
"Dammit, hold still…will you."
Grimmjow, I can hear him shouting. Yet, it sounds muffled like I'm under water of something and try to move my body, only to feel like I was pushed down by something as I manage to weakly raise myself up on my elbows then my vision soon clears to reveal a large hallway of a throne room, with two other Shielded boxes.
I'm in one of the shielded boxes' and not alone, seeing others were Ichigo's family and his children as Grimmjow is dragged past the one I'm in then forced to kneel on both knees, by a large Arrancar as another one stands close by, tall and lanky looking with eyepatch covering one of their eyes.
Did this mean that all Arrancars that were part of Aizen's Army, had their Hollow Holes in different places?
Depending on their powers they had?
How do get out of here?
How is it possible they got past Urahara-san's Shield on the Shop?
Ulquiorra!?
He couldn't have, unless of course threatened to do it by Aizen.
I come out of those thoughts, the questions that need answers and look up at the stairs that lead up to a throne, while even though it muffled everything – his Spiritual Pressure – makes my eyes go wide as I look over to Li-Li, Rye and Kieo, who are huddling together as they look around in Fear at where they are.
"Oh, what's this. Abarai-Kun, concerned, are we?" The voice of Gin Ichimaru says, which makes me see that he is standing right in front of me, placing a hand right on the shield which suddenly shatters into million fragments of red crystals then I'm being hauled to my feet by him, somehow without him moving from where he is standing in front of me.
"You Bastard, Gin. After what all you've done and him, betraying the Soul So…...DON'T TOUCH ME?!" I begin to say, only to shout at him when I feel a hand touch my abdomen where Shiro's child is growing within me and flinch away from him as he opens one eye in surprise.
"Oh, I thought as much. Pregnant, Abarai-kun, with Shiro's child, hmm." He places his hand right over the slightly small bump, which makes me tremble at it and soon he places his lips to my ear, making me turn my face away from him.
Because my hair was still undone, it falls and covers my face from his sight, yet his lips are still against my ear then he bites my ear, lightly between his teeth, making me wrench free from him. I stumble to one side, breathing heavily and bring a hand to my ear at the violation of it as he watches amused with that fox-face of his.
He walks up to me, forcing me up against the wall, while Grimmjow, is struggling to get free from the large Arrancar 's only to suddenly be slapped across the face hard by Aizen – who it seemed had been standing there the all-time, without me ever noticing. Until now.
What?
How?
He wasn't there before
How could be there now?
Grimmjow's P.O.V:
The slap that Aizen, gives me echoes in the silence of the Heuco Mundo Throne Room, making Li-Li in the Shielded box, cry out my name in fear as her Brothers hold her tightly soon hugging her close as they cover her eyes, so she sees me not getting hurt.
I had promised to protect them and yet, could not protect myself now, because of his Spiritual Pressure, which was pushing down on my own then suddenly his hand reaches for my chin, tilting it up to look straight into his brown eyes.
He bends down to my ear, his breath warm against my neck and the words he whispers to me, makes a cold fire go right through my body as I forget how to breathe, my heart skipping a beat in my chest when he does.
"I expected, my Son to be stronger. But, it seems your just like a Mother, after all."
I can't speak, say anything in reply to him. All I can feel is a numbing sensation that makes me, just continue to kneel there as he pulls back to look at me, while I try to deny that what he just whispered to me wasn't true.
No…it can't be true.
He can't be my Father…He can't.
I don't believe it.
Why?
Why…tell me now?
"WHY? WHY TELL ME NOW?!" I begin to shout at him, managing to get up in Yumi's grip and feeling my Spiritual Pressure, rising so high that it makes his brown eyes go wide then he glares at me with anger, soon grabbing hold of my throat.
He lifts me up by it, tightening his hand around it so tight that it makes me place my hands to his wrist to try and pry it off me, my mouth opening and closing like when a fish is taken out of water, gasping for air. Black spots, are appearing before my eyes, blood rushing in my ears It then he suddenly flings me on the steps.
I land on the steps, feeling him brush past me and lift my head to glare fully at him as he comes to the top step, turning to look down at me. His eyes, cold and expressionless have no warmth in them and he has not heart at all.
"I do not need to tell you. Only this, you must decide of who's lives you going to save – Ichigo's Family or Ichigo's children who you care deeply about and sworn with your life to protect or Renji Abarai's life and that of his unborn Child. Or, that of your unborn child that is growing within you right now." He says, pointing straight at my abdomen and shakily I place a hand to my abdomen, feeling the faint signs of the Spiritual Pressure of the child, which was growing within me.
I'm pregnant?!
I…...should have told that guy in the Nightclub to wear protection.
That white spikey haired Soul Reaper, that was in the Nightclub just hanging in the back. Doing nothing at all.
I was drunk…I laid with them.
An unknown Soul Reaper.
What do I do?
Do I save the child, growing within me?
Do I save Ichigo's family or his Children?
Do I save Renji and his unborn child?
What do I do?
I…...don't know what to do.
Renji's P.O.V:
Pregnant?!
Grimmjow is pregnant.
Is Shiro the Father of his unborn child?
But, then he went out to the one of the Nightclubs for Soul Reapers in the town.
It's possible that someone who was there is the Father.
Gin, is still near me.
I can't move for some reason.
Did he use a binding spell on me?
"Oh, What's wrong, Abarai-kun? Puzzled as why you can't move?" He says, which makes my eyes go wide at him and can feel my heartrate now pounding against my ribcage as he steps closer to me, so close that his chest is right up against mine.
What?!
He intentionally me set me free, only to corner me so that Grimmjow is forced to decide between saving either me and my little one, or Ichigo's children or family or his unborn child.
He planned this already.
"You are thinking too much, Abarai-kun. Let's sort that out, shall we." He says, bringing his hand to my cheek, moving a thumb over my bottom lip – which causes it to quiver under the touch – then moves his fingers into my mouth, pushing them inside.
I give muffled moan of protest, which makes him press down on my tongue with his two fingers then feeling them move away, soon making me bring my teeth down. I bite down, causing him to stiffen as he feels the fangs that have formed, puncture slightly and draw blood, which fills my mouth slightly with an iron taste.
He pulls them out, looking at the puncture marks with curiosity and see that Aizen, is watching with interest then he brings the saliva coated fingers to his lips. His tongue peeks out, soon swirling around the two fingers and suddenly, heat floods right through me as I place my hands on the wall to stabilise myself.
What….is this?
I feel hot, burning as though…No!?
He couldn't have, placed something in my mouth with his fingers.
"Feeling flushed, Abarai-kun. Burning up, inside. Simple little drop of this one's tongue and it affects them straightaway." He says, bringing up a small bottle and showing me what it is as I suddenly slide down the wall, collapsing on both knees in front of him.
"You…Uhhh!?...What have done to me? Wh…" I begin to say, only for him to place a finger on my lips and shush me then lean down as he takes hold of the back of my head, roughly gripping my hair in his hand, soon covering his lips with mine
No?!
Stop?!
I don't want this.
No, he's….
I can't think, properly.
I'm so hot.
No!
It's the drug inside me and I must get free from him.
Bringing my hands up to his chest, with the strength that I still have left in me, I bite down on his lower lip with the fangs then wrench with my own hard, causing a cry to echo in the Throne room as I spit out the piece of lip that I've managed to rip off his mouth.
I spit onto the ground, looking at him as he holds his bleeding lip with one hand and see that Grimmjow, has managed to get up. Aizen, is still watching silently from his position on the top step, near the plain white throne and is not touching his sword at all then Grimmjow, takes hold of his sword.
He unsheathes it, placing his hand on the sword and I can see that his chest is rising and falling, under the black shirt that he wears. Gin, is watching to with curiousity at to what he is going to do.
"Growl, Panthera Jaquerus." He whispers, that was like a breeze ruffling the top of the trees and suddenly it happens, an explosion of pure blue energy surging up into a spiralling column that swirls faster and faster around as I see him, disappear from my view.
As the gap of the clouds, close in on him, blue lightening suddenly, crackles and sparks, sending a shockwave up the steps, which begin to crack and splinter apart as Aizen, suddenly gets hit by one. Only to it be a to reveal another Arrancar – who is not Aizen, yet looked like Kaien Shiba, who been taken over by a Hollow, all those years ago and killed by Rukia.
Suddenly the swirling mass of blue clouds, shoot outwards in all directions, sending a shockwave right through the large Throne-room and making me bring my hands up to cover my face as I feel the intense wave of his Spiritual pressure, makes everything blur around me.
Grimmjow, stands there in a form that I have not seen before and soon flash-steps, that I'm in his arms and being held by him, away from Gin. I'm near the half destroyed Shielded box that holds Ichigo's children in it and him suddenly, pulls out his sword from his sheathe.
"Shinso, Skewer him." He says, to his sword which suddenly extends towards Grimmjow, nearly reaching him and it happens, so fast that when blood shoots upwards into the air that my eyes go wide when he says the name, only to shout it.
"Ul...ULQUIORRA!?"
He turns, slightly to look at the both of us. No, at Grimmjow, with an expression that makes Grimmjow, let go of me and grab hold of him, when he falls backwards in slow motion as the other Arrancar brings his hand to his cheek, holding it gently in the palm of their hand.
"Ulquiorra, why? Why, you fool?" Grimmjow says to him, while blood drips onto the floor, spreading outwards like crimson petals as Li-Li, Rye and Keio, come to Grimmjow, who shoulders are starting to shake with emotion.
"Because, I decided that they deserve to live and to save the person, that deep…. cough…down inside. Even though, I tried to deny it. I wanted to save the one person who has managed to un-freeze the ice over my heart." Ulquiorra says, coughing up blood and looking up at Grimmjow, with his eyes which have started to change colour due to him, now dying then moves his thumb to wipe away tears that have formed in Grimmjow's eyes, from running down his cheeks.
He smiles weakly, chest rising and falling then goes still, hand sliding limply down his cheek as Grimmjow, looks down at him with wide eyes then tilting heads backwards screams the one name of the person who had ruined his life.
"AIZENNNNNNNNNN?!"
A primal cry, that is neither Human or animal that comes from him and I can feel my own Spiritual Pressure, boiling inside me, now to a point of no return.
