Title: Amnesiac Love
Pairing: Grimmjow x Ichigo
Plot: Grimmjow lost Ichigo in an accident, leaving him embittered and heartbroken. Soon he meets a girl who is very much like Ichigo but she claims to be Ichigo Kurosaki. She is suffering from amnesia and does not remember her past life nor Grimmjow.

"Mom?" She was surprised, that it was her mom who died when she was fourteen. Her mom just smiled and nodded, meaning that she is really her mom though in the form of a spirit as she seemed sort of transparent. "This is a dream right?"
"Well, this is your dream but I am really talking to you in this dream." Masaki answered. "Okay." Ichigo was a little nervous. "Ichigo, well I do not mean to be like I am peeking on your everyday life but I know that you were being evasive towards Grimmjow. And I also know about you ending your relationship with him years ago." Ichigo swallowed the gasp that she almost let out her throat.
"Mom, that is..." Ichigo hesitated. "You do not need to say it. I understand why you did that, though I find it wrong." The strawberry blonde said, and Ichigo raised and eyebrow. "Ichigo, I can feel it in you that you still love him, though you wanted to end everything because you blame yourself for what happened to him. And out of guilt you broke up with him, thinking that he will do better without you burdening him."
"I can't disagree with you there. Right, that was why I broke up with him." Ichigo replied, holding her chest that was beating like a hummingbird. She couldn't deny that she really loved Grimmjow so much, so much that she could possibly die from just loving him. "But, you have to let go of the pain of the past." Masaki continued, and Ichigo widened her eyes, looking at her mother with confusion. "What did you say?"
"You have to get back together with him. Have you ever felt that despite all your achievements, there is still that void in you that is hard to fill?" She asked in return. Ichigo lowered her head, knowing that her mother was right. Even though how successful she became, she felt that there was still something missing.
"You're going me that Grimmjow is the one who can fill that void, right Mom?" Ichigo questioned, expecting that what she asked might be what her mother would say next. "Yes." I knew it!, Ichigo thought as she bit her lower lip to not say anything. She gasped, but just a little when her mother gently embraced her.
"Ichigo, you don't have to dwell into the past anymore. You know another reason why the others did not tell you anything about the truth before you remembered it all from a dream? It's because they wanted to have a fresh start with you, live a life with you where there would not be guilt or pain. And you still have a chance to live that life with others, and with Grimmjow. So, hurry to him." She whispered softly, before starting to disappear.
Before she completely faded away, she said a few more words, "You know, I love how Yuzu, Karin and my dear husband is doing right now. They do well. I'll always watch you and the others from above." Ichigo watched with sorrow as her mother disappeared, though it was better than seeing how her mother died when she was still alive.
Ichigo woke up, panting like she was drowning. "Mom..." She held her head and a tear fell out of her eyes without her knowing. She hid her face behind her legs, wrapping her arms around herself. She bit her lip and she started shaking, her hands grabbing on to herself tighter as she was thinking of all the time she and Grimmjow spent together. From the past to the present, she cherished them so much and she smiled sadly at the thought of it.
...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...
...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...
...Look, I talked to Grimmjow a while ago and he doesn't blame you or anyone for what he had been through for the whole time when he thought you were really dead. He still loves you, and I know that even you won't admit it you love him more than you think you do...
Remembering those words, she lifted up her head and walked towards the window. She rested her face on one hand, denying that it would be impossible to go back to Grimmjow since they changed their location which was unknown to her and no one else told her about their location. Her mom telling her that she still has a chance to get back together with Grimmjow? What a joke. It was just a dream caused by all the stress that she has been through.
Tired, she decided to take a shower as it was one of the few things that kept her calm and cool whenever she is stressed. After so many minutes she changed into casual clothes as she was going out for a walk. Just as she headed downstairs, the doorbell rang.
"Who could be visiting at this late hour?" She muttered and went to open it. When it was wide open, the figure that knocked was dark as first but soon the figure became clearer and Ichigo gasped, almost dropping on to her knees. "Grimmjow..." She was silenced with a passionate kiss. She did not fight back as she was very dumbfounded.
"Why are you here?" She asked as soon as the kiss was broken. Those lips were always breath-taking, that she was like out of breath. "I can't take it anymore." Was the reply, and the voice sounded desperate that Ichigo was unable to say anything but 'What?'. As an answer, Grimmjow gave a sort of long explanation that sounded like a love speech, and Ichigo could not find it in her to laugh how cheesy he sounded, because it was so honest and sincere that she was actually... touched.
"Grimmjow, I have to be honest with myself too. I still love you, so much." She answered, leaning her face on the bluenette's chest. "I told you the reason why I wanted to break up with you a long time ago. But now, I see that if I keep on holding on to the past, nothing good will happen. I always felt for these six years that there was something missing despite all the luck that happened to me, and that something is you." Grimmjow gasped quietly, feeling how honest she is now with herself as well. She accepted what her mom said to her in that dream.
"I was such an idiot for trying to break up with you. It was just all... so complicated. But life is always complicated, and I was a little immature before to see that." She said, chuckling a little. So I want to us to get back again, and this time..." She is cut off by another kiss and this time she let him go deeper into her mouth, her arms circling his neck.
"This time, we'll never be split apart, right?" The bluenette finished and Ichigo nodded. They kissed again, the door closing quietly from the wind outside. "Now I know that for those past six years, I was a fool. I blamed myself and tried to make things better but I actually didn't. I love him so much, so much that I don't want to be with anyone but him. No matter what now, even though the past held a lot of pain, I will stay with him, I'd choose to be with him. I love you, Grimmjow." The bluenette did not notice a tear of joy falling down her warm, pink cheeks.
He broke the kiss and whispered to her ear, "I love you, Ichigo." He kissed her again and unexpectedly carried her to her bedroom. She was embarrassed though she let it slip, just this once. And the night passed, which was the most perfect night of their life.
One month later, things were all good and great again. Ichigo peacefully ended dating Ulquiorra and the latter was very glad that she and Grimmjow were together again. They were absolutely meant to be together no matter what. He started dating his childhood crush, Orihime who also had a crush on him since they were kids.
Ichigo told her family about the good news, and they were very happy. Nel kept on winning cases with her unchallengeable wit. Isshin was now known very well in Australia for his doctor skills, Yuzu and Karin became very good in English by their time living there. Ichigo and Grimmjow were not the typical lovey-dovey couple but either way they were content being with each other.
The others were overjoyed as well and happy for her, all is well that it ends well.
The End!
