Chapter 2: An angel

Ichigo stared into her innocent, lost chestnut eyes, she appeared before him as if an angel. She turned her head glancing over at Grimmjow who was now regaining his strength. Damm it this wasn't good.

"You should be running, go what are you waiting for?!" Orihime pushed her hand against Ichigo's broad shoulder. Ichigo couldn't believe it, who was this girl? Why is she trying help me?

Ichigo shrugged his thoughts and rose to his feet, No way was he going to let Grimmjow defeat him. "Look I don't know who you are, or why you're trying to help me. But I'm not leaving here until that Bastard is lying dead." He stared at the fragile girl, Man was she beautiful, no now wasn't the time for this.

"Orihime…" she whispered. Ichigo glanced at her "What?" "My name's Orihime Inoue. You're not going to defeat Grimmjow, he's too strong I'm trying to help you here. You don't deserve to die…."

Ichigo's breathing hitched. Why did she want to help him? Why would she care if he died? Shaking himself Ichigo reached for his sword "I appreciate the warning but I need to do this, Grimmjow, tried to hurt my friends, I protect my friends. I'm not going to let him get away with all he's done."

Orihime closed her eyes briefly, Why wouldn't he listen to her, he seemed stubborn, God Damn it! "By the way I'm Ichigo, Ichigo Kurosaki, formally substitute soul reaper." He grinned.

Orihime didn't know what to do, should she take a chance and leave the Espada? But what would Aizen do? He would kill all these people in his path to get to her.

Ichigo, lunched himself towards Grimmjow, the two began to fight. Meanwhile, Rukia and Renji were fighting Yammy. Their attacks were proving futile it seemed hopeless.

Orihime sat back and watched them all fight, the chaos that surrounded her. She watched Ichigo with concerned eyes. She couldn't understand why she cared for the man. She had just met him, but yet her heart raced at the mere thought of him getting hurt.

Ichigo shot his bankai at Grimmjow, he dodged Ichigo's attacks, it was a game of cat and mouse. Where in this case Ichigo was the mouse.

Grimmjow thrust his leg into Ichigo's stomach sending him flying to the stony pavement. Grimmjow chuckled. Man this was easy, he would soon snap him in two!

"At least give me a challenge soul reaper" he roared, Ichigo staggered to his feet. Grimmjow was a lot stronger than the last time they battled, he knew he had to study his movements, figure out his patterns, then attack.

"Come on soul reaper I don't have all day. Fight me!" Grimmjow expressed. Rukia glanced over at Ichigo through the corner of her eye, Oh no, he was in pain. She swallowed the lump in her throat. She was scared for him, Damn it Ichigo!

Rukia attacked Grimmjow taking him by surprise from behind. Grimmjow roared as Rukia released her zenpaktu.

"You little bitch!" he grabbed her collar and threw her across the ground. "Rukia!" Ichigo called, worried for his friend.

Grimmjow released a white blast in the air. Ichigo fell to his knees, everything went black. He heard a soft voice by his ear, "Please don't die."
