Grimmjow: Intimate Passions
Upon arrival, the two yet again rushed to the kitchen but this they were there to discuss their battle plan. The cook sat patiently alongside with them, waiting for the pizza to cook.
"What are we supposed to do about your brother Annette?"
Orihime was rattled by the whole hostage event and she felt that he was surely going to try it again.
"Leave that to me, but next time make sure to stay close to me, you'll never know what he'll try next."
Annette drew a complex diagram which explained how to trap her brother. First Orihime would act as the bait and Annette would trap him using the shinigami technique she found in the building. The rest would be up to Orihime.
"You understand the plan?"
"Yup!"
With that done the two waited for the captain to move on and one question seemed to pop up in Orihime's mind.
"Annette, why don't you go into the portal with me?"
Just as she was about to answer, they drew close to the cyan portal appeared the two had no choice but to continue their conversation along the way.
"Think about it, if I, a random stranger appears out of nowhere and follow you around, people would think I'm a stalker. That and I just don't feel like it."
Orihime seemed to understand that answer and she proceeded to look around.
She noticed the distinct dark colour residing the time stream and just as she was about to ask a question, Annette spoke up.
"My brother Lance is changing the time stream as we speak and the other Gespenst lurking about has got the influx working like crazy."
The bright light ahead indicated that they were getting closer and so the two saved their Q&A for later. They arrived in plain room where Orihime was resting on a bed and after a few seconds she woke up.
Orihime noticed that that small boy had blue hair and nestled himself at her side. He looked exactly like Grimmjow but her child seemed more innocent and cute. The door creaked open and the boy stirred.
He tugged at her night gown, his were still small but Orihime could see them turning out to be as tough as her husbands'.
"Mum I want some water."
She got up with a smile on her face and ruffled the boy's head gently.
"Wait for a bit 'kay"
"Mm 'kay"
He slumped back into his position on the bed as he sucked his thumb. She ruffled his hair affectionately. Orihime then proceeded to quietly open the door and walked down to the kitchen and she saw him.
He was sitting down at the table and his attention seemed to be on the moon. She snuck up behind him and glomped him and he turned around to hug her back.
"Hey I never knew you were up."
He chuckled before planting a kiss on her forehead.
"I'm just getting a glass of water."
Orihime was just about to head for the sink when he grabbed her shoulders and placed her on his lap.
"Grimmjow!"
She pouted and huffed before trying to get off him. He laughed and stroked her hair and she placed her head on his firm chest.
"Hime, do you remember when we met again?"
She chuckled and kissed him.
"Of course, how could I forget?"
Orihime and Annette saw exactly how she found him again through another series of flashbacks.
The moon seemed to be waning that night. The rolling sands swept across the desert, blinding those who looked too close or too far. Two figures braved the sandstorm with much conviction; they walked through the desert for hours, the torrid heat during day and the body-numbing cold at night pressed against their skin as they continued on.
"Thanks for helping Sado-kun."
"You're welcome."
The desert seemed to go on forever, Orihime made her way past the hollows thanks to Chad but now she was lost. She heard that Grimmjow survived and she felt that it was her duty to help the fallen arrancar.
"Grimmjow where are you?"
A groan was heard from under all the rubble.
"Sado-kun please help get him out"
She managed to rescue the injured arrancar from the collapsed building with the help of Chad.
Urahara's words stilled echoed in her mind.
'Use this along with your powers, it's the only way to save him'
She held the circular blue orb in her palms she chanted.
"Sōten Kisshun"
An orange shield took shape over the arrancar's injured form and a bluish glow seemed to envelope him. All of a sudden his mask had started to fade and the on his abdomen retracted.
He looked... more human.
The orb broke upon use and Orihime noted to apologise to Urahara.
The two took him back to the real world to get him a gigai and placed him inside it. Interestingly, they found out from Urahara that the orb's energy fused with Grimmjow and since it had a new container, the old container broke.
Orihime then took him to her house to recuperate and when he woke up the next day, he was shocked.
"How dare you turn me into a human!"
He gripped the collar of her shirt and looked at her menacingly; now that Aizen was gone he could pummel her face.
"I'm sorry but that was the only way to save you."
She looked downtrodden and this made him flinch. He dropped the fist he raised, that empty feeling in his chest was gone along with his animosity; it sickened him.
"..."
He let go off her polo shirt and stalked off to the bed he was assigned.
Over the months she pleaded to Sereitei to allow him to live and he was sentenced to community service, killing over 100 hollows to atone for his sins. He was still able to use his resurrección but no more than that. His hollow powers remained but that burning passion, the blood lust disappeared and his heart… wait he had a heart now.
This foreign being in his body kept on interrupting every thought he had and he wished that he could just rip it straight out of his body.
"Why would I want to help the shinigami?"
He slammed his hand on the table he and Orihime sat next to.
"If you do they said you can finally be free."
Her determination seemed unwavering; she was set on helping him.
"I can never be free!"
He glared at her.
"Not if I have to stay with you!"
He spat the words out like poison.
"If you finish their request you can move out if you want,"
Her eyes welled up and she turned away.
"Good night Grimmjow-kun."
She got up to go to bed while he was confused. His heart ached as she said those words.
He just realised, when did his heart ever feel anything? He just blamed the thing for becoming a human.
The next day he asked Urahara, the only person he could ever trust, what these feelings were.
"It's love,"
He reached out his hand to help up Grimmjow.
"Love is for fools."
Grimmjow pushed Urahara's hand away and got up by himself.
"Well you have to be a fool in love,"
He walked out of the underground training area and left Grimmjow with his thoughts.
"Bahh, next time I'll find someone else to spar with."
He grumbled before following suit. The silent walk to the surface got him thinking.
'A fool huh,'
He brushed the thought away and proceeded to kill some hollows.
The next day he apologised to Orihime and over the month he steadily progressed filling the hollow quota.
During the first two weeks he had gotten closer to and the thought of leaving filled him with more remorse.
The other two weeks he decided to get along with the others.
"What was that Grimmjow?"
"You heard me; I'll destroy you while we spar!"
"You wanna try saying that again?"
He developed a rivalry with Ichigo, became Chad's drinking buddy and well he just didn't like the way Uryū made discrete passes at Orihime. By the end of the month, he had finally finished killing all those hollows.
"That's great Grimmjow-kun!"
Orihime jumped up for joy and she hugged him.
He blushed inwardly and decided to swallow his pride.
"Orihime, remember what I said last month?"
He grabbed her shoulders firmly.
"Ohh, yeah..."
She stopped and looked down.
"Well I want you to forget it."
"I thought you wanted to be free Grimmjow."
She bit her lip and tried to suppress her need to cry.
'I thought you hated me.'
"I don't want to go because..."
His voice lowered.
"I love you."
He mumbled these three words but she heard them clearly.
"Would you go out with me?"
She blushed and decided to follow her heart.
She kissed him on the cheek.
"Does that mean yes?"
Orihime woke up thirty minutes later and remembered what her son asked.
Her husband's arms held onto her lovingly and he rested his head on hers.
"Grimm can you let go please?"
He stood up with his arms still around her hers and danced with her.
"Remember our salsa class?"
Smiling cockily he dipped her and leaned in to kiss her...
"Mom I'm thirsty!"
Their little boy was in the kitchen wailing and upon noticing his dad, he glared at him and growled.
"Shut up kid!"
He moved Orihime aside to yell at his son.
"What was that old man?"
His kid talked back and the two were so focused in their intense staring, they forget about Orihime. She giggled and sighed at the two's antics.
"Like father like son"
'I can see what you mean Annette'
Annette motioned to Orihime to get going and she let out a whisper.
"A fool in love..."
They ship moved once again and an azure orb appeared in Annette's hands.
I don't like pairing her with what I consider monsters (arrancar and hollows), so I make them human.I know this might be longer than the others but it's my way of making it up to you guys.
The reason as to why Annette's brother could travel into the future instead of the past for that one time was because he appeared the exact time the portal appeared and took the recipient (aka. Orihime) to the future making it possible for him to go.
Like it, Love it?
I love you so please,
REVIEW!
PS. Do you guys want a Q&A with Annette?
PPS. Can you guys find the song hint I put near the end? Hint: They're in Italics.
Fact of the day: Penguins have knees; they're just hidden under their feathers. I think this fact is trying to say their fat.
