Aiko woke up, her eyes itchy and dry from the tears of yesterday. She sighed softly and looked up, Grimmjow's eyes looking down at her. "G-Grimmjow…?" He smiled cockily and moved a piece of her bangs out of her face, she blushed as he had expected. "Yeah it's me, I'm sorry that I had to leave all those years ago but I promised I'd be back and so I am…" She sighed looking confused, scrunching her nose and sneezing before she spoke, "But that wasn't you-That was Ichigo…" He looked down confused and took her hand in his, lacing his fingers with her small hand, "What are you talking about? Don't you remember all the times we-" He stopped talking as if he knew something she didn't. He stared at their hands connected and got up with a frown, and she saw this, now worried. "Did I say something?" He didn't answer back as he grabbed a photo from his dresser drawer, and sat back down on the bed, showing her with patience now, "Do you see Ichigo?" Her eyes fluttered in confusion. She had this picture once before her parents died in the fire from the Yakuza…if only her dad wasn't such a gambler. She shook her head, "But I thought-" "You thought wrong Aiko, it was never Ichigo it was me the whole time…Ichigo never liked you because you would always hold my hands and not his, He got jealous and we were only kids then" He looked at the picture in his lap, sadness seemed to grab his facial expression. "How come…I don't remember anything? And why with Ichigo?" Grimmjow didn't answer yet again and got up, going to his bathroom and messing with his hair, "Your going to stay here while I go deal with your debt Aiko-chan and you don't have a choice either" She stood up on her knees on his bed, "No Grimmjow, please don't! I don't want another person dead because of my dads debt…" His eyes went cold as he glared at her, "I told you that you don't have a choice Aiko, don't mouth off to me" She looked down at her lap as she sat back down. She vaguely remembered Grimmjow never being too kind but for some reason she always cared for him either way.
He brushed his teeth and sat on the ground on the edge of the bed, handing her a comb, "Please comb my hair…You always seemed to do it nicely…" She combed through his light blue hair, running her fingers through it as well. He shut his eyes in pleasure, relaxing as she combed through it. "May I come with please Grimmjow? I'm quite hungry and I need to get my things from the house and what about school hm?" Grimmjow looked to her, "School? Fuck your school. Who at your school, including teachers, actually say something about your bruises and cuts and wounds what so ever?" He seemingly became angry at her, but she didn't take this personally, "Grimmjow, it isn't any of their business…" "Yet everyone knows about it?" He grabbed her wrists and pulled her over his shoulder and to his lap, "Your coming with me to Hueco Mundo Aiko…Because there isn't much time before I get hungry…for…" He trailed off, staring down at her grey eyes as they stared up at him, and unknowingly to her, he longed for her soul, he hungered for it every second that he was in her world. He loves her so much…
His eyes slimmed as he licked his teeth beneath his lips, holding her wrists still, "There isn't much for you here anyway, why should you stay?" "Because…Uh…I truthfully don't remember what that is or if I even knew and secondly I…have things to attend to here Grimmjow" She closed her eyes and thought to herself for a second, this could be her escape from the past, from all those people at school and especially the Yakuza. "Aiko you should come with me please, you aren't safe here" Just as he said that he thought of how hard he would have to work to keep the other espada, especially Nnoitora, away from his beloveds soul. He would have to stay here awhile he thought to himself quietly, and got up. "We won't leave now or near now either, we have to stay alittle while…" He still knew something she didn't, she isn't herself anymore. She had lost her Chain of Fate long ago once she was raped and murdered. Being filled with hate was not apart of her soul but she was filled with love instead and somehow the mixture of rage and love made her nearly impossible to defeat. But due to her meeting Ichigo and being dragged along with their group, she had disappeared from Hueco Mundo itself. Grimmjow didn't know why her memory was blanked and replaced but perhaps they purposely did it to help her become a Visored. He smiled, acting not worried as he had realized this and he searched for the Hollow whole she once had as a child, running his hand down her chest, making her slap him in the face and stand. "You pervert!" She pouted before turning and stretching, her shirt lifting from her stomach. His eyes widened in curiosity, there was the Hollow whole, right on her belly button which was gone. He slimmed his eyes, remembering the piece of her mask that laid upon her head and it was missing. He shook this off and stood, "I'm going to deal with the Yakuza and you may go if you like, but only if you listen to every word I say, no arguing" She squeeled in happiness and ran to the bathroom, washing her face and combing her hair out.
About 20 minutes later they were both in the market place, looking almost like a happy couple as they should be but Grimmjow was ready at any moment for one of her "owners" to come and try and start something. 'Why would Ichigo leave her in a place like this? I hate that asshole, but I didn't expect him just to leave her like this…He did give her to a family…' He looked around with his unforgiving eyes, right hand holding hers and his left holding the groceries. "Grimmjow, can we stop by my place? All I need is the picture of my parents and my clothes okay?" He nodded down to her as they started walking towards the bad side of town and he was careful to watch the surroundings until the got there and quickly packed her things and got out. He was surprised when everything was in order there. He expected the gangs members to have already messed up her home but just as he thought that…
Three cars pulled up below in the parking lot, five men in each exiting out with guns in each hand. He dropped the groceries carefully and held her behind him. They may have to go to Hueco Mundo quicker then expected. "Aiko you better get out here, we know your in there! You, blue haired guy, get out of the way!" He slimmed his eyes and took a moment to think. 'She is wounded and won't be able to defend herself if I go to leave and if I stay…I can simply move...Hm…' "What do you want with her?" Grimmjow yelled down, still holding her hand. "AW, boss look! Aiko has a little sweet heart~HAHAH" Everyone started laughing and he felt his want to slaughter them growing, he hates them already. "Please Grim-" "Hush.." She quieted herself and clung to his back. She doesn't want to leave yet and once he destroys those gang members and their boss, they'd have to leave immediately. "You better pray that you live through what I plan on putting you through….you bastards all must pay for what you've done. And I plan on enjoying every second of it all" He smiled insanely and began to walk away but Aiko didn't let go. Her eyes went foggy, she started remembering things,
"Jeagerjaques, don't let go please! Don't let them take me!"
She started to tremble, he turned and looked down at her, "Aiko?"
"I'll come for you I promise Aiko, I won't let them keep you!"
The remains of her mask started to come into view, to black spots forming under her right eye. She's returning to herself, he looked to the men who stared now interested. They need to go. Now. He grabs her and releases his power, now transporting to Hueco Mundo, expecting a now unwelcoming hello.
