I wrote this because I thought it would be a good way to reignite the rivalry and hatred between Grimmjow and Ichigo and because this scene was very well done in the roleplay so I decided to adapt it. XD

The OC has changed to another arrancar called Aiko, who has just taken the place of Espada #9 and betrayed her feelings for Ichigo. Drabble really.

Pouring from the sky, the rain splashed against Aiko's cold cheeks, dissolving her tears as she lowered her eyes to the mangled body of the shinigami.

"I HATE YOU." She spat brutely, but the orange-haired teen could only struggle to move, a small pained whimper cut from his lips. This enraged her more.

"WHY CAN'T YOU JUST DIE ICHIGO!?" There was a pleading tone in her voice that made him glance up at her weakly. Her expression was pained and her eyes red with crying. His brow furrowed as much as it could as he watched her features change into confusion.

Before he could open his mouth to speak, he was crippled by a familar reistu that had just approached. Although it was not flared out in angry force, Ichigo's weakened state still found the presence hard to handle.

"Aiko, let's get moving."

A small gasp escaped her throat as she looked up at the Espada, the Sexta Espada, her Espada. She swallowed, giving a shaking nod and rose from her kneeling position over her fallen enemy. Aiko's eyes traveled down to the feeble Ichigo once more before she stepped over his body and towards the man in white.

"Wait.." She paused, the loud whisper from Ichigo made her obey his command, even if it was the last thing she ever did for him. Slowly, she craned her neck, her eyes on him as he spoke: "..Aiko. Why?"

She stared at him for a moment, unable to answer for the breif hesitation, in front of her she could sense that He was getting impatient and spoke up.

"Because they offer me what you can't."

"Heh, and what's that eh?"

She swallowed. "Security."

Security. Ichigo's eyes fell to the floor once again as his head lay in a forming puddle. Defeated and unable to move. Aiko turned sharply back to the Espada who was looking over at the scene with terrific boredom.

"Are you done being nice to the bastard?" His arm instinctively moved around her shoulders and pulled her in close to his torso, as if claiming his prize.

Aiko did not look back at Ichigo as the portal opened up in front of her, instead she disappeared, the portal closing on the black ink against the bone of her hip.

'9.'

Grimmjow glanced at the pink-haired woman beside him as the portal closed, "You're not going to cry again are you?" Aiko looked back at him with an amused frown.

"Of course not darling, now shut up and take me home." Eventhough being called 'darling' made his blood boil, Grimmjow happily accepted her request because he knew that she was never going back to the Shinigami.
