Disclaimer: I do not own any of Bleach nor its characters. And to add, this is an AU but I hope you like the story.
Ichigo checked Nel for a while and heard from Grimmjow and Ulquiorra that she was in a train and something went off, causing everybody in it to get in an accident. Nel suffered severe blood loss and is very weak, her injuries almost killed her but she pulled through. Right now she is unable to move, talk or wake up for a couple of weeks or hopefully, days. Ichigo and Grimmjow talked no more than Nel's condition. But they acted a little awkward towards each other, as it has been six years.
A week passed, and there was no sign of waking up from Nel. Ichigo took a break from work as she worked for five days, 120 hours straight without sleeping. Applying an eye lightener around her dark circles and eye bags she sighed and collapsed on the couch, wanting to take a break from all that exhausting work. Even drinking strong coffee wouldn't keep her awake.
Three hours went by and she woke up, finishing the last of her coffee. She took a bath, put back on her white coat and left the house, locking it. Her dad and sisters left for Australia where her dad continued to work as a doctor, and her sisters starting their high school life there in the foreign country. But they still get in touch with each other via the internet, phone and airmail.
Back in the big hospital, she took medical files and checked on many patients who were suffering from minor to slightly major illnesses before going to the room where Nel was sleeping peacefully. Ichigo took a chair and placed it next to the hospital bed. SHe sat down, and read the file section that contained all the symptoms and all the others that Nel showed. After re-reading it she narrowed her eyes. They had no choice but to make an operation on her, which will either save her life or take it away. Because if they don't do it, then she'll die within a week or two.
"I heard from the others that you guys have to operate on her. Even though it is risky, it was the only way to bring her back." A voice spoke behind her. She didn't turn around but she heard what Grimmjow said and got it, her eyes full of bitter sorrow. Not wanting to stay stuck in the same room with Grimmjow, she quickly stood up and almost left the room, though a hand grabbed her wrist and pushed her back.
"Ngh, Grimmjow. What are you doing? I'm busy..." Before she could say more her lips got taken and she fought back, pushing her ex-boyfriend away while glaring at him. "What the hell?" She hissed, touching her lips in shock. The warmth of those lips, she felt it again after so long.
"Ichigo, are you trying to avoid me?" Grimmjow growled in a low voice, taking a step towards her. Ichigo gasped, not answering him. "Don't try to hide it. I know you keep on avoiding me. You always walk out when you are alone with me, you never talk to me about anything but Nel's condition, it's more than enough to prove you are avoiding me." Ichigo clenched her fists, not wanting this to happen.
"So what? It's been six years, Grimmjow. We can't go back anymore." Ichigo said wanting to escape before she could fall into him again just like before. "Please stop this. Okay. It's no more." But Grimmjow would not accept it. He shut the door and pinned her to the wall, regretting to be this violent and forcing towards his ex-girlfriend but there was no other way to get through her.
"You think I was able to do better when you disappeared after breaking up with me? You thought that I was having a better life for the past six years of being apart from you?" He asked, his voice sounding cross. Ichigo flinched and struggled to break free of his grip but he was stronger than she is.
"For those six years I never talked to anyone but Nel. And you were the only one I could think of. Yes, I finally got into college and making a good living but without you there it's not complete. And it's not your fault that I went down for those eleven months, thinking that you were gone forever." Grimmjow swore that he would laugh at himself for sounding cheesy, but he had to say it for her to be honest with herself as well.
"Grimmjow..." Ichigo murmured, her voice shaking like an earthquake. "I... I..." She could not continue as she heard a beeping sound from the machine that recorded the pulse rate of Nel. The green-haired girl was also shaking involuntarily. "Shit." Ichigo cursed, checking on what was happening to her. "What's happening?" Grimmjow asked, worried.
"Her pulse is soaring through the roof, and she's on a seizure. We have to operate her, now." Ichigo said just as Ulquiorra accompanied by a few surgeons and nurses rushed in to help the orange head. "Grimmjow, you have to leave. We need to do it right away." She requested her ex-boyfriend, her top priority is to help Nel stay alive.
Grimmjow stayed there for a minute before complying, going outside. For hours he sat on the chair, not eating or drinking anything, not even going to the bathroom. He waited, his hands clasped together like he was praying. He prayed to God with all his heart even though he wasn't much of a praying guy, that his sister would live.
Finally, the operation was over and Ichigo went outside to talk to Grimmjow about the outcome. She removed her bloody gloves, tossing it into the trash can. "Grimmjow, we're finished." Ichigo said, sighing from how long they took to operate."So?" Grimmjow asked, hoping that Nel lived. "Nel is alright. It took long but she lived. She's well again, but she has to rest here for a few more days before we can release her."
Ichigo widened her eyes as Grimmjow hugged Ichigo; he was very happy that he needed to hug Ichigo as a part of thank you. "Thanks for saving my sister." He said, tightening the embrace. From the happiness that Nel is alive, Ichigo hugged Grimmjow as well.
Hotaru: Yay! Nel is alive. Well some of you said that I rushed the story and I know I did; but I am still making sure that the story stays good. To those who watch Kuroshitsuji I made a fanficiton which serves as my idea of the third season of Kuroshitsuji. Thank you to all who review and keep reviewing.
