XXXVIII

Afraid

I can recall only one time that I was actually a bit nervous. Never had I ever been afraid.

Grimmjow had gained powers by some unknown source.

I needed to discover how.

The release sexta Espada ripped through another wall, hissing and screaming: "Ulq-Ulqu-Ulqui-Ulquiorra!"

I was not hiding. Evading this needless fight was the proper phrase for it. It would take my release to defeat this strengthened Grimmjow.

Three buildings later, we faced each other.

I spotted the reason why his strength had increased.

"Grimmjow…is that catnip?"

"Yeah! It's great!"

With that, I demolished the plant and pummeled him.


Just imagine if Grimmjow had that catnip on him when he fought Ichigo!
