"should we really be doing this?" I asked.
Grimmjow released me from his hold nad stepped back. I expected him to yell and scream and be angry but what I saw was worse. The look of reject on his face and hitting me hard.
"What?" GRimmjow quietly breathed out.
"I..I," I stumbled," look t...this isn't easy."
"The fuck it's not easy!" he said too loudly.
"Yeah kissing is easy, stupid," I said," but don't you feel weird doing this?"
"Pft," he said," you sound like a girl."
"You're such an asshole!" I yelled.
"Gonna do something about it?" he asked then pushed me.
"I'm gonna kick your ass," I growled.
"Yeah right twinkle toes," he said.
"Bitch," I said.
"Pussy," he said
"Bastard," I retorted.
"Fag," he said.
"What the fuck your gay too," I said," man your the pussy. Starting a verbal fight."
Flexing a fist forward that I didn't even know was clenched hit Grimmjow straight in the face and because I may have caught him by surprise I quickly moved backwards and kicked the back of his knee making them buckle. Kicking the middle of his back it forced his back to be smashed into the floor. When I went to punch him he rolled over onto his back forcing me to punch the flor.
"Fuck," I said through gritted teeth.
Unfortunately my screw up made me pay. Grimmjow gave me a right uppercut make me move a little giving him the advantage as he gave a thrust of his leg straight into my stomach. Stumbling backwards even more I held my hand over my stomach.
"You're not going to win," said Grimmjow.
A huge shit eating grin sprung on my face and I started to slightly chuckled. Oh Grimmjow how you are wrong. All the fighting over the years and training for the battle against Aizen kept me in tip top shape. With the long distant running building stamina and the push ups, sit ups, bench crunches and lifting many weights. Then I would spar with Tatsuki and she typically would win. She felt pride in beating me up since she was now the strongest women in Japan and was dating a boxer who was currently holding the championship belt. Grimmjow just started getting up when I swiftly moved towards him to give his ribs a solid left hook and then a jab to the face. Stepping backwards after that I watched him waiting for the next attack. Suddenly, Grimmjow was gone in a blink of an eye and there was a powerful pain that slowly creeped from the centre of my back then shot outwards. How did Grimmjow move so fast? Before I could do anything I fell to my knees from Grimmjow's powerful attack possible one of his strongest. Did Grimmjow have the same brutal strength and agility as Nnoitra? If so I knew right there and then I was royally screwed. My vision became blurry but I couldn't go under. I wasn't going to lose to the likes as him
"Looks like this little Berry is all tuckered out," Grimmjow mocked.
"The fight isn't over yet," I said.
Using my arms to propel my body up I looked at him with determination in my eyes even though my breaths came out short and in pants. I felt his fist hit my stomach then his other hand hit my face causing me to cough. I thought I would revolt but the only think that came out was a small trickle of blood that slide down my chin.
"Bastard," I said.
Lunging at Grimmjow I swung at him having him receive a few punches with each having a depletion of power. My arms fels as heavy as if they were 40lb dumb bells instead of flesh and bone. Grimmjow smirked and began to turn around.
"Hey I'm not finished!" I yelled.
"No fun fighting someone who can't walk," he said," let alone throw a decent punch."
"Fuck you!" I spat.
"No thanks," he sneered.
I had no weapons to throw at him. Usually I did not right with weapons except for Zangetsu which was my pistol I used when I fought against Aizen, and the gangs of arrancars, espadas, bounts, hollows and sadly my fellow friends from the soul society when I had to rescue Rukia from death. I had never shot to kill only injure. The majority of the time I fought with my fists.
"Fucking cock sucking whore," I snarled.
"Give it a rest," said Grimmjow," go fuck a cow and leave me alone."
"You go fuck a cow!" I yelled.
"Sorry I ain't into that shit," he said.
Using my arm I grabbed the edge of the counter and pulled my body up. I had no weapons but it wouldn't help but to search for something. Searching frantically I found my fork but I could only get it when Grimmjow wasn't looking. He started to turn and walk away.
"Finally he understands," Grimmjow muttered to himself.
I took the fork and released it from my grasp having it hit Grimmjow in the back then hit the floor and clanked and clattered as I slide down against the counter.
"Is that really all you got?" Grimmjow asked.
When Grimmjow turned to face me and then started to walk towards me panic was taken in my body. Having me think only one thing.
Oh God! Grimmjow's going to kill me.
He stood in front of me bending down into a crouch. Fury searing through his eyes making me gulp. His fingers slightly touched my jaw forcing my body to tense and his fingers then curled around my neck tightening as me moved closer and brutally kissed me. Though just as he started to loosen his grip I thought I would be safe but he then harshly bit down on my bottom lip. Grimmjow moved away and then as he stood up he wiped the blood on his lip with the back of his hand. Grimmjow walked away and opened the door and quietly closed it. I could of sworn I heard him say ' wasn't as strong as you were last time'. What did he mean by last time? I never have seen Grimmjow except for that night at the at the sight my hands went to touch my swollen lips and then lightly brushed against my throat. I could still feel Grimmjow's hold. My heart beat was racing as fast as a race car in Nasa but I still couldn't stop thinking about him. I pulled out my phone from my pocket noticing it was 3:52p.m. I set an alarm to 6:30. Hopefully I would wake up in time because I was tired and my vision started to become blurry and darken just as I pressed the okay button.
My opens slowly opened in slits as I heard the noisy sound of Red September by Spoken blare.
My heart, my heart, is beating for you
I want you to know that I'll be thinking of you wherever I go
Tonight I am standing with you
A chance to change the world as we know it
The feeling of lights upon me feels so perfect
You are here with me and it's all I need
Before I knew you, before I saw your face
Life had its reasons for keeping love away
Spring turned to summer
And summer then turned to fall
Then came September
We began it all
Groaning at the noise it pissed me off but when I looked at the time my eyes widened. 6:40. Oh hell I'm late. Thank freaking God for the magical snooze button thing. As I moved my fingers to place the phone in my pocket my muscles ached and whined while my head throbbed violently. I took a long time to push myself up by when I did my arms felt like jell-o as I walked. My legs were fine since they weren't injured in fight but it seemed as though my upper body took the man beating. Taking a step I whined and groaned and tried to walk less painfully but the effort was practically impossible. When I opened my door with my arms I made a sound of displeasure.
"Fucking asshole," I muttered.
Twisting the door knob open I entered my room and walked to my dresser pulling out blue jeans and a grey long sleeved jacket with a collar around my neck. I also pulled out a pair of pajamas for the night I would be spending at home, I moved to my bed and sat down only grunting in response to the pain. Bending over to grab my overnight bag beneath my night stand I gritted my teeth. There was nothing in it but I had it close by in case an emergency was brought up. I was disappointed because all the pain Grimmjow caused me might make me have to quit stripping. No way I could I even do bar duty like this. I couldn't even serve and wait tables.I shoved my pajamas in my bag and stood up and carried my cloths and bag into the bathroom with me. Doing these simple tasks made me want to curl up in a ball and die. Grimmjow did hold back I could tell. That asshole wouldn't even fight me at full strength. I would get stronger and more next time I fought Grimmjow and he would be the loser and I the victor. I closed my bathroom door and locked it along with turning on the fan. I dropped my bag on the bathroom counter and placed my wallet in there and put my phone beside the bag along with placing my iPod in my overnight bag. Tonight I would be taking ibuprofen or Tylenol before I left because these injuries right now seemed like a little shock from a chair but when tomorrow rolled around the pain would feel as if I were getting struck by lightening. Unbuttoning my pants I slide out of them feeling the pain sting me though my back. My least favorite part was removing my boxers which was more excruciating then taking off my pants. Sucking in a sharp breath I closed my eyes and began to slowly remove my shirt. Now nude I could fully feel the cold tiles and air swirl around the air and chill my body. Shuffling to the tub I turned on the hot water tap on full blast before I turned on the cold water. I waited a few seconds before I ran my fingers under the water to test it. It was hot and nice. I placed the plug in now allowing the water to the fill the tub. No way in hell was I taking a shower and having the water pelt against my back. Having that happen would be like being attack by razor hail. Stepping over the tub I had the water dance around my ankles before I sat down and laid down. I was glad that the tub was long enough for me to lay in. I sighed from relaxation and focused on the hot water surrounding my body and eventually my eyelids drooped closed and I was content. I then eventually realized that I was going to fall asleep in the bathtub resulting in my head snapping forward waking me up and scaring the beejebies outta me. I saw how high the water level was. It was near the top so I had to get up and I sighed, I dropped my head underneath the tap feeling the heavy water as it splashed over my head having trails of water slide down my face. One slide down my nose while a few down my face. I somehow managed to get water trickle in my mouth but I spat it out. I was so relaxed and didn't want to move but I did turning off the taps. I wanted to fall first into the water and just lay there. I would have done that if people could breath both on land and water but instead I stayed on my hands and knees and just stayed in that position for some time. My body ruined it for me though forcing goosebumps to appear from the mix of cool air crawling on my skin and being in hot water. Frowning I moved away from the tab and laid back into the water going under and then wiped my face. I didn't need a mirror to tell me I had blood on my face. I emerged from the water and wiped the water out of my eyes. There was a cloth by the bar of soap that I think I put there last night for the next time I had a shower. Smiling at my intelligence. I grabbed the bar of soap and cloth and soaked the cloth before I rubbed the soap in it. I didn't want to clean myself or wash my hair but I did it anyways. Once I finished cleaning my body I moved on to washing my hair. Once I was finished I groaned as I stretched up, unplugging the drain and stood out of the tub. I was tempted to air dry but it would take too long and I didn't want to walk around in seme wet cloths. Taking a towel off the towel rack and started to dry my face and quickly rustled it into my hair. I began to dry other parts of my body and wanted to curse loudly but kept my mouth shut. After I was dry I placed on my new cloths which was easier than taking them off. I took my phone and dialed Karin's number.
"Hello?" asked Karin.
"Hello," I said.
"Where are you Ichi-nii?" she asked," Yuzu is almost done dinner. She made me set the table."
"I'm leaving right now," I said.
She sighed," well you better hurry up."
"Don't rush me," I said.
"Bye Ichi-nii," she said.
"Bye Karin,'I said.
Closing my phone I placed it in my pocket and zipped up my bag before I took it. I grabbed a ibuprofen and then swallowed it with a handful of water I took from y tap. I placed some in a ziploc bag and then shoved it bag in my pocket. There was four pills in there and I would last. I walked to my door and took the keys off my key rack and slipped on my shoes. I walked to my car and entered it. It was a 1985 used Honda Civic. Yeah it was a shit car but it ran and made it's way around town. I even added a radio to it. It cost me a lot of money. I placed my bag in the passenger side and started my car. my radio told me it was a little over 7. I was good. I got on the road and started for my 10-15 minute drive. It all depended on how heavy or light traffic was. I could see the sky as the sun was setting. There was an array of orange, pink and yellow throughout the sky with black silhouettes. I heard the radio play and some songs played. Hitohira no Hanabira by Stereo Pony. I started to hum along to it not knowing the lyrics that well. By the time I pulled up to the clinic the sky was over taken by dark clouds. I took my bag slinging it around my shoulder. I turned off the engine and walked into towards the house. Yuzu opened the door with a spatula in her hand.
"Onii-chan?" said Yuzu," Onii-chan!"
The second time she said Onii-chan she had a huge grin on her face and started to run up to me and gave me a hug. I hugged her back.
"Hey Yuzu," I said and kissed her head in a brotherly fashion.
She hugged me tighter and I wrapped my arm around her shoulder as we walked towards the house.
"Ichigo!" yelled my dad
I kicked him in the face and he tumbled backwards into the lightened house. When I stepped in the house I heard Yuzu gasp.
"What happened Onii-chan?" she asked.
"I got in a fight," I said.
"You shouldn't be fighting," she scowled.
"He started it," I said," I'm okay though."
Though I was actually hiding my pain for when she hugged me it hurt like hell. I walked in the the table and Yuzu left me to go get some food. On the table I already saw gyoza, Korokke, omurasi, and kare raisu and Yuzu just brought in fried shrimp.
"Thanks for dinner Yuzu," I said.
"It's great to see you around Onii-chan," she said," I miss seeing you outside of school."
"I'll try more often but it's pretty hectic with finals coming up," I said," soon it will be summer vacation and we can go to the beach and have fun."
"Yay," Yuzu said and clapped her hands.
We started to eat and have a "normal" Kurosaki dinner. Karin had asked about the poem we read in English. The literary analysis paragraph on "Because I could not stop for death" by Emily Dickinson.I was glad I got a lot of money for teaching and stripping because I bought Karin an expensive soccer ball for her birthday last month, and got Yuzu some cookbooks, a skillet and a fifty dollar gift card for a pastry shop. I got Karin one too but she said she would rather of had one for a sports shop. I noogied her for it and teased her. She stomped on my foot and I chuckled. We ended the night watching some movie and Yuzu and Karin fell asleep curled up to my sides and my arms wrapped around them. I fell asleep to near the end of the movie. I didn't mind though. I feel asleep content.
