Weapon Fight..with No Weapon

Ichigo backed up still holding onto Rukia. He wasnt going to run..but he wasnt going toHo start the fight.

"Renji!" Rukia whispered angerily. "Stop it!"

He didnt. Instead he gave her a glare before drawing his sword and catching the eyes of several people attending the ball.

"HE HAS A SWORD!" Someone screamed.

"Hes going to kill us!"

"HELP!"

Ichigo focused on renji as everyone in the garden began to panic and run around.

"Put the sword down." Ichigo said.

"No. How about, you leave..and you leave in one peice."

Ichigo cackled a laugh. "Take your own advice."

Renji pointed the sword at Ichigo. Strangely, it was the second weapon he had pointed at his face today.

"Rukia, take a few steps back please." Ichigo gently pushed her aside toward a small cement bench. Once she sat he turned his attention back to Renji.

"So, if were going to do this. You get one free hit." He took off his mask.

Renji pressed the blade of his sword into Ichigos chest. "Dont insult me Kurosaki."

Ichigo grinned. "Your loss."

"NO! STOP!" Rukia screamed

Renji pulled his sword back and swung down at ichigo. Out of reflex ichigo brought his forearm out to cover his face from being hit. Ichigo knew how to fight, he was a prince..he had to learn. But it was very rare when he was in a weapon fight with no weapon. He felt the blade dig into his arm. Forcefully he pushed his sword to the side.

Ichigo looked down at his bloody arm. The sword had cut his nice button up.

"Dammit."

"Renji stop!" Rukia pulled at his arm. "Stop!"

Renji easily pushed her aside & swung again. But this time, Ichigo grabbed his blade mid air and held onto it tightly. He squeezed and pulled. He felt the blade slicing his hand but kept pulling against renji's will to give up the sword. Finally he pulled the sword free of Renji's grip. And he felt impowered! So he tossed the bloody blade aside and grinned.

"Ichigo stop!" Rukia cried. "Stop please."

Ichigo looked at his hand. "Fuck this hurts." He mumbled low enough for only his ears.

Rukia grabbed Ichigo's arm pulling him. "Ichigo!" He looked at her..he saw her mouth moving..but couldnt quite hear her. "ICHIGO!"

He looked at her eyes, they were so beautiful he thought. Slowly he turned to her... then he pulled her by the arm into his chest and kissed her. He didnt know why..but why argue with a good thing right? He pulled away with a deep inhale.

Renji was frozen. He didnt know what to say or do.

Ichigo turned back ro renji. "Come at me bro."

Renji hesitating before rushing Ichigo. But ichigo was faster, he pulled back and punched him square in the chest knocking his wind out. Before Renji could even get a full breath of air Ichigo had layed another punch into his stomach. Ichigo stepped back, his hand was actually shaky...but it couldve been the the blood that was rushing out that made him feel this way.

As he was staring down at his hand he hadnt realized Renji gathered himself together and was coming. He looked up to late. He felt Renji's body being thrown against him but even then he was still fighting as they flew back.

Ichigo groaned as he was slammed back into a near by planter. They landed on the floor with Ichigo on top. Renji started throwing random punches at Ichigo. One in his rib, then stomach. Then he reached out and grabbed his collar and punched him once in the jaw.

Ichigo grabbed Renji's throat and squeezed. But his grip failed when his right hand stared burning and more blood gushed out onto renji's neck. Where was rukia? Ichigo looked around.

She was sitting on the floor crying, holding her face and crying. The blood was pumping through his ears so hard he couldnt hear again. But he could see, and he saw her screaming his name.

In the meantime renji pushed ichigo off him and onto the floor. He stood and began kicking him as hard as he could.

"HIM!" Someone screamed. "He had the sword!"

"HES KILLING HIM! STOP HIM!"

Ichigo watched as a big man grabbed ahold of Renji and dragged him back. The man was big..very big... and had the number 10 tatooed on his shoulder.

Ichigo rolled onto his knees and pushed himself up off the floor. His hand was dripping alot of blood... thats when he noticed how big the cut was on his forearm.

Rukia was shaking as she looked between the two men. Who would she attend? Her bestfriend? Or Ichigo?

Ichigo made the decision for her. He walked over to her and touched her face with his blood free hand.

"Are you okay Rukia?"

Rukia's eyes widened. "AM I OKAY?"She grabbed his hand "ARE YOU OKAY!"

Renji was standing still. He had lost the fight.

"Young Man. Do you need medical Attention?" The big man asked.

Ichigo shook his head. "No. Thank you..."

"Yammy."

"Yammy. Im fine."

"Thats a awful lot of blood on my floor kid."

Ichigo looked around. Was that all of his blood? "Im sorry."

"Ichigo." Rukia whispered. "I have to go."

Ichigo looked down at his feet. "I know."

"Ichigo look at me."

He did. And she kissed him softly.

"Goodbye."

And she walked off towards renji. Yammy held onto him as they exited the garden and were gone.

Ichigo looked around to find everone was staring. He slowly picked up the planter he had ruined.

"Hey kid."

Ichigo turned around. "Ya."

"You sure know how to fight." The man grinned. He had blue hair. Which didnt seem weird because he had orange. He was wearing a white jacket with the sleeves rolled up. His mask, if you can call it a mask, was small and only covered the right side of his jaw.

"Is there something you need?" Ichigo asked bluntly.

"My name is Grimmjow." He continued to grin.

"Nice to meet you." Ichigo said.

"Your Ichigo Kurosaki. Future king right."

Ichigo eyed Grimmjow. The way he said it...it wasnt a question more of a statement.

"Why do you ask."

Grimmjow's eyes fell down to his own sword hanging on his waist. Then his grin got even bigger..and a bit wild. Ichigo swallowed.

"Im not looking for another fight."

Grimmjow began laughing. "Well..then we have a problem dont we."

Ichigo bit the inside of his cheek. He watched grimmjow grab his sword handle. Fuck...

"Hey!" A lady pushed her way between ichigo and grimmjow. "Grimmjow... stop."

She was a very attractive lady. Her hair was a beautiful green, she was curvy and had a large chest. So you know what that means.

"Grimmjow! I told you no. And here you are harrassing this poor boy."

Grimmjow rolled his eyes. "Get off me woman."

She put her hands on her hips. "Excuse me."

Ichigo stood looking at her back, her green dress didnt have one. Maybe thats what caught his attention, or maybe it was the 3 tatooed on her back.

"Grimmjow Jagger Jack! Do not speak to me like im one of your little trolls!" She stomped her foot with a huff.

Grimmjow let go of his handle and sighed. "Fine."

"Oh your the best Grimmjow!" Her arms flung around his neck and she kissed his cheek.

Grimmjow blushed a bit. "Get off me Nel!" He pushed her off and stuff his hands in his pockets.

Nel hugged his waist and turned back to Ichigo. "Im sorry Prince. My grimmjow gets a little ferral when he sees a good fight." Her hand traced over grimmjows heart. "But hes a good person."

"I am not." He mumbled.

Ichigo nodded and backed up "I better be going."

"No!" She cried. "I mean... that girl you were with.. Shes a Kuchiki yes?"

Ichigo eyed her. "Yeah."

"I knew it. So howd you get that." Grimmjow asked.

"Grimmjow!" Nel smacked his arm. "Thats so rude!"

"But isnt she the one with the-"

"Shhh!" Nel smacked him again. "Yes, now be quiet."

Grimmjow ignored her. "So..what...your like her pay back?"

"Her what?"

Nel rolled her eyes. "Grimmjow! Why did you do that!" Grimmjow shrugged. "Ugh your sucha brat!"

Ichigo blinked. "So.. are you going to tell me..or what?"

Nel looked around then leaned in. "Rumor has it, Kaien shiba was in here the other day with some girl. Not Rukia Kuchiki."

Ichigo nodded. "I see... so..what your saying is... he isnt gay? Cause when we hung out, i swear he was making passes at me!"

Grimmjow laughed. "I thought the same thing. But he's just a really friendly guy." He laughed again.

Nel scoffed. "Your so tasteless grimmjow."

He pulled nel infront of her and began grinding her body against his. "Really? Cause i was tasting pretty fine last night eh?" His hands squeeze her ass.

Nel pushed him away and turned around to face ichigo. "Your so dirty grimmjow!"

"So what your saying is Kaien is cheating on Rukia?" Ichigo asked.

"Rumor has it." Nel said again.

"What does that even mean?"

"It means," Grimmjow interupted. "It means either rukia grew a foot and changed hair color, or Starrk had a little to much to drink on the job."

"Or! Kaien is unfaithful." Nel added.

Ichigo nodded. "Rukia didnt say anything about that." His shoulders fell a bit.

"Well..maybe she doesnt know..."

Grimmjow nodded in agreement. "Yeah..thats a possibility."

Ichigo looked down at his hand. The blood was still running..but it was also scabbing. "I better go." He walked away before they could say anything else.

"I think that was a little to hard for him." Nel whispered.

"I know whats a little hard. Lets go back and attend to me." Grimmjow whispered.
