Ten minutes later found them just entering the ally that housed Urahara’s shop. Ichigo approached it nonchalantly with his hands shoved in his pockets while Grimmjow almost seemed to be dragging his feet unhappily.
“If he didn’t want to come, why didn’t he say something earlier?” Ichigo groused.
“Because he can’t King,” Hollow Zangetsu spoke up, pulling a scowl onto Ichigo’s face.
“What do you mean by that?” Ichigo demanded.
“You came out on top, you are the Alpha. If you wanted to fuck him right now all he could do was ask in what position you want him in,” Hollow Zangetsu cackled in delight.
As much as the thought sickened him, the mental image that quickly came to mind brought a blush to his cheeks.
“That…. you…” he spluttered in anger, “that is disgusting!” he settled for.
“Really king? You didn’t seem to have any problems ordering him to let you fuck him this morning before pounding into Pet’s ass like a bitch in heat,” Hollow Zangetsu taunted.
“Enough,” Zangetsu spoke up before Ichigo could make the rather furious response back that he wanted to. “What’s done is done. What have I told you, Ichigo?” he demanded.
“Always look forwards, don’t look back. If you hesitate too long and fear everything you will help and save no one,” he responded automatically.
He felt the satisfaction from his Zanpakuto at his response and his Hollow half remained blissfully silent for the rest of the trip. He was still furious with his Hollow half, not only because he refused to shut up, but because he had taken control of his body.
He was still smarting over that, and was honestly almost as pissed about it as he was scared. It had been a long time since he had lost control like that, and it was terrifying to think it could happen again, that the next time he might not be able to stop it before his Hollow managed to do something terrible.
He wasn’t actually worried his hollow half would kill Grimmjow, in some ways that would have been more relieving, but it was clear his Hollow had no qualms about forcing himself on the other, and from what Ichigo had managed to understand about the situation, Grimmjow would probably not even fight back. The thought of someone as powerful and prideful as Grimmjow was silently remaining still while he was raped left a very sick feeling in Ichigo’s stomach.
“If you ever try and force yourself on him, I swear I will find a way to destroy you,” he promised coldly.
He felt his Hollow still at the threat, and after a moment he felt the other retreat, leaving Zangetsu as the only one whose presence remained at the back of his mind, an extremely comfortable feeling.
Ichigo was honestly surprised not to see the two children that lived with Kisuke working out front of the shop as they approached. The door was open and as they stepped into the shop they spotted Kisuke waiting for them.
“Let me guess, you already know everything,” Ichigo scowled at him.
Kisuke whipped out his fan and began to fan himself rather vigorously while attaching a wide smile to his face.
“Now what makes you think that?” he asked innocently, his eyes darting to the silent Espada standing behind him.
“Because if Ishida could figure most of it out, than you probably got it all,” he snapped in irritation.
“You flatter me, Kurosaki-kun,” Kisuke beamed happily, snapping his fan shut and rising to his feet.
Behind him, Ichigo could feel Grimmjow’s displeasure rolling off of the Espada in waves. In fact, he half suspected the other was ready to either bolt or tear into Kisuke to remove a perceived threat.
“Why don’t you join me for a cup of tea and…..”
“No!” Grimmjow suddenly growled with a sharp snap, interrupting Kisuke and causing Ichigo to jump a bit in surprise at the sudden venom and loathing the other was exuding.
Kisuke pulled his hat down, shading his eyes and stared at the Espada silently for a moment before speaking again.
“Of course. Perhaps coffee would be better,” he offered.
“Coffee?” Grimmjow questioned.
“Coffee it is than. Perhaps with a bit of catnip,” Kisuke questioned, once more back to his goofy self while Ichigo tried to figure out what the hell had just occurred.
“Fuck no. That stuff taste like shit. Bloody Nnoitra tried to get me to eat it one time, dumb ass,” he growled as they followed Kisuke further into the shop.
Some of the tension seemed to have been relieved, and a fair amount more left as they sat drinking the coffee Kisuke had prepared. Ichigo wasn’t much of a fan of the bitter stuff, but Grimmjow seemed to like it.
“So, what can I do for you?” Kisuke asked once they had all calmed down and felt slightly more at ease.
“I don’t even know where to start,” Ichigo sighed in embarrassment, tossing a look at Grimmjow.
The other glared back at him before sighing in frustration and turned his attention to the former Shinigami sitting across from them.
“How much do you know about Hollow Mating?” he questioned.
Kisuke’s eyes widened in complete shock and his entire body actually froze as he stared at them in disbelief. It took almost 30 seconds for him to regain his composure.
“Not much I am afraid. Soul Society didn’t find the need to research it, and given how dangerous it would be to ‘go out into the field,’ funding for such research was never approved. From the research done on the Hollows Soul Society has managed to capture and study over the yeas, it was determined that, physically speaking, Hollows have no gender and thus the very idea of offspring was impossible, even if you happened to find one with parental instincts,” Kiskue answered honesty.
“Well, ya got some of it right,” he grunted. “Here’s the rest.”
Kisuke leaned forward eagerly as Grimmjow reiterated everything he had told Ichigo earlier. Ichigo did not like the excitement that was quickly rising in Kisuke, it made him feel rather uncomfortable.
“So what happens after the egg is laid?” Kisuke asked eagerly.
“It should hatch after a month, and the cub will be hungry and needing to eat,”
“So, no breastfeeding than hmm?” Kisuke asked amused.
“No, it will be born ready to eat meat and capable of hunting the small animals that roam the desert.”
“You mean like that small lizard we saw?” Ichigo asked.
He realized after saying it how stupid he sort of sounded seeing as how neither of these two were there when Chad, Ishida and himself first entered Hueco Mundo.
“Yeah, something like that,” Grimmjow answered. “Not everyone sticks around after laying. Staying in one spot is dangerous if you don’t got the sire around to defend you and bring you food.”
“So if the sire does stick around, than the ‘mothering parent’ is more likely to remain?” Kisuke asked curiously.
“Yeah. Otherwise by the time the egg is laid you are too damn hungry and depleted to stay in one spot to guard it. You need to eat or you will start to regress, and quickly. So you burry it in the sand and go your way. If it’s lucky, it will survive, if not, oh well,” Grimmjow shrugged.
“And if you had managed to top Ichigo, would you have stuck around?” Kisuke asked seriously.
Ichigo was growing increasingly uncomfortable with the conversation, and the last question caused a fair amount of inner turmoil as he waited for Grimmjow’s answer. Kiskue was also staring at Grimmjow with a rather serious expression on his face, one Ichigo didn’t see the Shopkeeper use very often.
“Of course I would,” Grimmjow snorted. “I am far more evolved than those pussy ass weaklings. Stupid fuckers just couldn’t survive the damn Mating,” he growled in obvious agitation.
Ichigo looked at the Espda in surprise, not because of the venom in his voice, but because of the small hint of regret, possibly even loss, he had picked up. Kisuke must have picked it up as well, for it was the Shopkeeper that was daring enough to ask the question Ichgio was also suddenly desperate to know and yet to scared to ask.
“How many have you lost over the years, Grimmjow?” Kisuke asked softly.
“I don’t know, fifteen, maybe sixteen. I gave up trying after a while. No one was strong enough to survive Mating with me so what was the point in wasting a meal?” he snorted in disgust, poorly hiding the faint trace of regret and lose.
He was doing his best to hide it, but Ichigo could clearly see that this was a very touchy subject for the Espada and not one he wanted, not was ready, to talk about. Maybe later, but not right now and not to someone like Kisuke.
“I see,” Kisuke took a sip of his coffee. “So you must be positively thrilled to have succeeded this time!” Kisuke cheered happily.
Both of them spluttered in surprise at Kisuke’s sudden excitement.
“Kurosaki-san will be pleased to learn he is going to be a Grandfather, but aren’t you a bit young, Kuros…..”
“Don’t talk about it that way!” Ichigo scowled as he nailed Kisuke on the top of the head with his fist, hard.
Kisuke retreated to a corner pouting with fake tears streaming down his face and clutching his head.
“What’s all the commotion?” a new voice entered the fray.
“Yoruichi-san, Kurosaki-kun is being mean to me,” Kisuke sobbed as he clutched the squirming black cat to his body like a teddy bear.
His loving attention was rewarded with a swipe of sharp claws across the bridge of his nose. There was a moment of shock before he dropped Yoruichi, who landed gracefully on her paws, while Kisuke clutched his bleeding face and sobbed some more.
Grimmjow let out a bark of a laugh at Kisuke misfortune while Ichigo smirked in amusement.
“You’re my type of cat,” Grimmjow declared.
Yoruichi turned her attention to the Espada before shimmering and returning to her true form.
“For the love of god, Yoruichi!” Ichigo wailed, covering his quickly reddening face, “put some damn clothes on!”
“Definitely my kind of woman,” Grimmjow laughed.
“Thank you, Espada,” Yoruichi sent him a dangerous smirk, “but you ain’t my type,” she tossed over her shoulder as she retreated to find some clothes.
Kisuke regained control over his senses and Yoruichi returned a moment later fully dressed.
“So, can you help us or not?” Ichigo demanded once they were all seated again.
“I might be able to do something,” Kisuke offered. “But in all honesty, Kurosaki-kun, returning to Hueco Mundo would probably be the better option. I would not want to risk putting him in a gigai. I should be able to come up with something to cover his scent from other Hollow’s, but you do realize how Hollow’s feed, right?”
“What of it?” Ichigo asked nervously.
“He means I live off of eating my own kind, and they need to be at least Adjucus class to sustain me. How many of them do you see running around here?” Grimmjow snorted.
“And worse, the further alone Grimmjow gets, the weaker he will become as his body draws more of his strength to create the new life. He will eventually reach a point where he will be unable to effectively hunt for himself without risking serious harm or death; meaning someone will have to do it for him,” Kisuke said seriously.
Could he do that? Hunt down other Adjucus and drag them back to be eaten. The very notion made him feel sick to his stomach. Despite their violent nature they were still people.
“Also, recall the air here is very thin to a hollow, unlike Hueco Mundo which is thick with reishi. Staying here is like staying in a thin oxygen environment and will slowly sap his strength where as in Hueco Mundo just breathing will act like a sort of soft feeding,” Kisuke added.
He did recall Ishida mentioning something about the air and how the little lizard could probably survive on it alone.
“How did Aizen feed you all? I don’t remember seeing any prisoners or holding pens at Las Noches and with the sheer number of Arrancar there would have had to be hundreds kept for food,” Ichigo suddenly demanded, desperately trying to think of a way out of needing to hunt.
That seemed to pique Kisuke’s interest as well and he turned his attention to Grimmjow, clearly expecting an answer.
“He fed us some sort of food. I don’t know what was in it, but it worked to curb the hunger. I know Szayel was experimenting with making different flavours since it was rather tasteless,” Grimmjow answered with a shrug.
“Would any of it remain?” Kisuke asked suddenly curious.
“Possibly. No one really ate the stuff because they wanted to,” he shrugged. “No one has been hanging out there much since Aizen’s fall. Other than the Shinigami camp they got set up near Szayel‘s old lab nothing wants anything to do with the place.”
“Yes, I can understand why Kurostuchi would be reluctant to give up such a treasure trove of information. Still, I wonder if the Sotaichou knows about the continued operations,” Kisuke mused. “Would the ‘food’ be near the lab or far enough away to retrieve some without drawing attention to yourself?” he asked.
“Possibly,” Grimmjow said slowly. “The food stores are on the other end of the complex but Szayel had security monitors set up all over the place and if those damn Shinigami got into that system and are monitoring it they might spot any intruders. Not that they are any threat to me,” he sniffed, “but in my weakened state and with enough numbers they could be an annoyance,” he finished reluctantly.
He did not like to admit being weak, but there was a difference between putting up a strong front and being stupid. While Ichigo was horrible at sensing reiatsu, most Shinigami were not and he could tell that Kisuke already knew just how weakened he already was.
“I should be able to come up with something myself, but I would advice you to take a trip to Las Noches if you deem it safe enough and see if you can’t get your hands on a store of it as it will take some time for me to make something useable. It’s either that or start hunting, and I got a feeling Grimmjow is going to need a lot of food over the next two months.”
The thought of hunting was not appealing.
“Can you still open a portal?” Ichigo asked Grimmjow.
“I could, but with my reiatsu so off it would possibly be unstable,” Grimmjow answered reluctantly.
“I can make a portal, but it will take about a week. Will you be okay for that long?” Kisuke asked seriously.
“As long as I can eat the weak fuckers that show up around here I should make it that long,” he assured them, “longer if Kurosaki lets me feed off of him if it gets too close,” he added hesitantly.
Ichigo felt his eyes widen in shock at the idea shortly before the feeling of relief that perhaps he wouldn’t need to hunt overcame him.
“Why can’t we just do that instead of hunting?” Ichigo questioned.
“Because whatever I consume off of you is going to take a long time to return. We are not talking about eating some of your reiatsu, I am talking about eating a part of your soul, and souls take a long time to heal,” Grimmjow snapped.
Obviously the idea didn’t please him any either, granted if Grimmjow could eat the Hollow part of his soul it might be considered a blessing and very worthwhile.
“Awe King, you couldn’t do that,” Hollow Zangetsu complained. “Regardless of your feelings, you and I both know that I am a part of you, not matter what you think, say, or do,” he pointed out.
“Don’t tempt me,” Ichigo threatened before turning his attention back to Kisuke.
“Well, I will get working on the Garganta. I will send something by later to hide your scent. For now it should be alright and anything close enough to detect it would be a threat anyway,” Kisuke stood up. “Or a meal,” he added thoughtfully.
It was a clear dismissal and they stood up as well.
“Thanks Kisuke,” Ichigo thanked, and meant it.
“No problem, and Kurosaki-kun.”
“Yeah?”
“Congratulations on becoming a father.”
Ichigo spluttered for a moment before sighing and thanking Kisuke.
Wow, so many reviews, thank you all so much. As I stated before, Prize of Victory has my attention so this one may not receive regular updates as I do not have much worked on it at the moment.
Pretty much all of the Arrancar are either dead or locked up in the 12th. I only have a small plot idea for this story as it was really only intended as a one shot for Black Storm, but for some reason I seem incapable of writing a one shot.
