Chapter Six - Dim Lighted Room

Nnoitra threw Grimmjow in front of Aizen just as Szayel slammed Ichigo on the ground. Grimmjow glaced over at Ichigo's eyes rolling into the back of his head. He growled as he glared back at Szayel, who ignored him.

"Grimmjow." Aizen kept his chin in his hand as he looked down at him. "What's the meaning of this?"

Grimmjow looked up at Aizen, glaring.

"We found him in this Shinigami's room, putting thier cloths back on." Szayel spat.

"I do believe I asked Grimmjow." Aizen said coldly.

"Sumimasen, Aizen-sama." Szayel apologized.

"Grimmjow?" Aizen looked back down at him with disappointed eyes. "What were you doing with this young man?"

"None of your fucking buisness." Grimmjow muttered.

Suddenly, Grimmjow found Tosen's blade at his throat, his eyes wide.

"How dare you speak to Lord Aizen like that." He growled.

"Kaname." Aizen waved a hand at the former Captain.

"But, sir-" Tosen began.

"Are you arguing with me, Kaname?" Aizen asked.

"No, sir." Tosen sighed before stepping back.

"Grimmjow, you're acts cannot be excused." Aizen said. "You will be imprisoned for the time being, as will your...Shinigami. Your punishment will be decided shortly."

Grimmjow growled as Aizen nodded to Ichimaru to pick up Ichigo. Gin kicked his limp body lightly before grabbing Ichigo by the hair.

Ichigo's eyes rolled back as he did this, crying out and struggling as Gin dragged him away. Grimmjow tried to go after him, rage filling him instantly before Ulquiorra was suddenly there, grabbing his arm.

"Stop." He demanded.

Ulquiorra dragged Grimmjow off after Ichigo.

(-_-)

Grimmjow through rocks at the bars as he sat on the floor next to the wall. Ichigo lay on the other side of the bars, unconcious.

He had been knocked out for a while, but Grimmjow began to wonder if he was dead or not. His breathing was unnoticable and his heart rate was slowing and he was unbelievablly pale. He had seen corpses with more color than he had now.

When Grimmjow threw a rock at Ichigo threw the bars and it hit him on the nose, Ichigo's eyes fluttered open.

"Morning, Sleeping Beauty." Grimmjow sighed.

Ichigo sat up, sore. "Itai...Where are we?"

"We are in containment." Grimmjow said, as if it was obvious. "If you didn't notice, we got caught, and we're going to be 'punished' which is Aizen-slang for executed. He's just letting us bask in our own self-pity for a while before he carries out his nice little plan, no doubt. Bastard."

Ichigo chucked, stopping immediantly when pain radiated throughout his body. He reached up and rubbed his aching head, wincing at the tenderness.

"This is stupid." Ichigo sneered at the door to the outside. "Are those spiritual pressure blocking bars?"

"No, dumbass, they're made of rainbows." Grimmjow said sarcastically.

"Figured." Ichigo hit his head against the wall.

"Come here." Grimmjow said before Ichigo looked up.

"Grimmjow, there are bars between us, I doubt I'm going to be able to get over there." Ichigo said.

Grimmjow grimaced. He motioned to the bars right beside him as he leaned back against the wall, but Ichigo saw that he meant to go next to him, on his side of the bars.

He sighed before almost crawling to where he could lean against the wall. He held onto the bar to keep from totally collapsing, and Grimmjow took the chance to remove his hand from the bar and pull it over to his side.

Ichigo raised an eyebrow at Grimmjow, figuring he took it for something sexual, but was shocked when Grimmjow just twined thier fingers together. Grimmjow leaned against the bars as he looked up at the ceiling.

Ichigo thought he looked peaceful, and it was very rare for Grimmjow to be associated with something as soft as "peace." Ichigo smiled as he leaned against the bars, too, thier heads barely touching.

"Sorry, Ichigo." Grimmjow muttered.

Ichigo's eyes went wide. "For what?"

But his mind was screaming things like: oh, my God, did he just say sorry? What is he on? This can't be the real Grimmjow! Holy fuck, he just apologized! Wait...for what?

"Getting you involved in this." He closed his eyes. "It may sound stupid, but I feel like you're in danger and it's all my fault."

Ichigo reached through the bars with his other hand, touching the Arrancar's face softly. "It's not your fault, and I'm not in danger. I'm going to get both of us out of here."

He sighed. "Yeah. Right."

Ichigo rolled his eyes, wishing he could kiss Grimmjow and make it all better. But those stupid bars were in his way.

Damn it. He thought.

"I love you." Grimmjow said out of the blue.

"I love you, too." Ichigo sighed.

There was silence for a second.

"Fuck, thank God that's over." Grimmjow smirked. "Now I don't feel so bad."

Ichigo rolled his eyes again. Well, the loving and sweet Grimmjow was gone, and the smartass and aggresive Grimmjow was back. But that was okay. Ichigo liked this one better.
