Ichigo smiled as he woke up, that was until he felt the stinging pain in his lower back and butt cheek. Last night had been amazing, even though he'd laid down with a stranger.
"Grimmjow." he whispered to himself. "Grimmjow Jaegerjaques."
The orange head stretched his arms above his head as he yawned and amazingly had no urge to smoke his ritual cigarette. He sat up and stared out of the window at what looked like early afternoon sun. He'd felt an instant connection with Grimmjow, they'd been so in sync they were practically one soul. He wondered if he was one of the Soul Reaper tribe.
Ichigo startled as his cell phone rang. Looking at it, he saw that it was Renji calling.
"What?" he asked.
"Are you alright, Ichigo? Where were you last night?"
Renji's voice was strained and worried like he was in a panic. Ichigo sat up straighter in response as well as blushed at the thought of last nights activities.
"I'm fine." The urge to smoke was starting to eat at him. Reality choking him. "Why do you ask?"
"We felt a small flare of Grimmjow's presence, and yours was so bright it was like a forest fire. What happened?"
Ichigo's heart quickened.
"I was on a date. What does this Grimmjow look like?"
"Great. I'm glad. I thought the two of you had gotten in a fight or something. He has blue hair and eyes, you can't miss him. Uhhhh, I think his last name is Jaeger something…"
Ichigo's fist clenched and his blood ran hot.
"We need to meet. In front of my house in ten."

Grimmjow wore a feral grin as he met gazes with Arai. His skin tingled in memory of his sweet berry. Arai grinned back knowingly.
"Find some good meat?" he asked.
Grimmjow nodded, remembering how the boy had felt and tasted.
"Ya didn't eat 'em?"
Grimmjow's smile froze and dropped into a frown. He hadn't eaten the boy. He'd bitten him, marked him, but no eating was done. Already in his thoughts he'd been claiming the boy as his, he even dressed him and taken him home. In fact, he couldn't wait to get back to him for another taste. He shook his head. No. He wasn't going to fall prey to his subconscious. He was King of Hueco Mundo and he couldn't stand humans. Next time he saw the boy, he would really eat him.
"The way is clear." He told Arai. "Hopefully we'll get to eat some Soul Reapers too."
Grimmjow's Espada rose to their feet and Arai opened a Gargantua. Grimmjow led the way through.

Ichigo glared at Renji. His hands were clenched in the pockets of his leather jacket. Renji was wearing slightly baggy black jeans, a black beater, black suede Timberland boots, and a black bandana over his forehead. His red hair was pulled in a ponytail and he wore a black, unzipped cotton jacket.
"Tell me about this Grimmjow." Ichigo ordered.
Renji shrugged.
"Well, he's the King of Hueco Mundo, the Espada, and the Hollows. He controls them all. Hollow activity has been picking up. Especially since early this morning. Byakuya thinks that they've already crossed over." He turned and started to walk up the sidewalk. Ichigo followed. "I didn't just call to check on you, but to try and get you to change your mind. We need your help."
Ichigo was stiff with fury. He'd let the king of monsters touch him, mark him. He'd done it willingly and he'd enjoyed it, been happy about it. Grimmjow had saved him though…
No, a monster was a monster through and through. Maybe he would change his mind, maybe-
His thoughts were broken into by a mournful wail. A wail that froze his bones and took him back in time to the death of his mother. Up ahead was a monster as tall as a skyscraper. It's body was long and black like a cloak and it wore a large mask on it's face. A red beam grew in it's mouth and flew towards them. Renji pushed him out of the way and deflected the hit with a toothed sword that materialized in his hand. Another beam came at them, knocking Renji down. Ichigo stood shakily, helping Renji to his feet.
"Damn, Menos!" Renji hissed as he fixed his body into a fighting stance. He ran forward into the direction of the next beam and was knocked sideways just as Ichigo was knocked forward. Renji's sword broke apart as his body turned, the blades ripped across and embedded themselves in Ichigo's torso.
Ichigo's body cried out in pain as Renji looked at him with shocked, but satisfied burgundy eyes. Blue light erupted from Ichigo's body as a sword appeared in his hand.

Grimmjow went about feeding his Espada until he felt the spiritual pressure of his boy. It seemed much stronger than before, much more appetizing. He used his Sonido technique to stand above him. The boy was wearing an outfit almost identical to Arai's. This shocked Grimmjow and also gave him some insight into his Arai's ambitions while training in Hueco Mundo. The boy was with a red haired soul reaper and they were killing a Menos together, but Grimmjow didn't want the berry's attention on a measly Menos, he wanted his attention all on him. So he sent a Cero into the face of the Menos and watched it crumble into nothing as the berry turned to look at him.
Grimmjow had never felt a glare like that one; it made him shiver in anticipation.

Ichigo screamed up at Grimmjow, anger and hatred tensing his entire body.
"How could you have lied to me! I trusted you and you turn out to be King of the Monsters and I slept with you!"
Grimmjow shrugged, unconcerned. Sure Ichigo was something amazing to look at and he felt so good it was beyond description, but he wasn't entitled to Grimmjow's personal shit.
"No one told you to get so attached, little berry. I know I didn't."
"You fuck! How could you eat your own kind, Grimmjow? You used to be Human too."
Grimmjow's eyes widened and he stared at Ichigo incredulously, then broke out into cackling laughter. The longer he cackled, the angrier Ichigo got, and Grimmjow cackled for a long time. Once he stopped, he stuck his hands in the pockets of his hakama.
"You're a fucking idiot, Ichigo. Look at me! Do I look like I've ever been human? I am a soul, but not a human soul. I'm the soul of Hueco Mundo and I am her King."
Ichigo screamed in absolute rage, hurt, and betrayal as he pushed off of the ground towards the blue haired bastard. His black hakama billowed around his legs while he raised his sword over his head with both hands. He brought it down towards Grimmjow's smirking face and it angered him even more that he just stood there smirking, not even trying to dodge. Just when Ichigo thought he was going to cut through Grimmjow's skull, the descent of his sword was stopped by another. It was white and identical to his own Zangetsu. He quickly moved away, back to his former position on the ground.
Ichigo looked at the man, standing in the sky, white hakama billowing in the wind. Pure white skin, spiky white hair, and the most terrifying and striking eyes he'd ever seen. Eyes that he recognized from his nightmares.
"Who are you?"
The monsters manic grin became even crazier; a predator ready to eat its meal. The voice that came from his throat made this moment all the more real, that watery and wavering voice.
"I'm you, King. Just you."
"You're nothing like me!" Ichigo screamed. "You're nothing but a hallucination!"
The white, grinning creature frowned mockingly.
"That hurts, King. You don't remember me, but I remember you."
Ichigo held his sword tighter in the palm of his hand. He glared at Grimmjow, but the blue haired monster was watching the white haired one with intense interest. Ichigo brought his glare back to his nightmare.
"What are you? Answer me. Why do you haunt my dreams when I sleep?"
The creatures face became serious. "I guess you could call me your twin brother, though we're closer than twins could ever be. When our mother died, you did too, for just three minutes. When the doctors pulled you back, you left half of yourself behind, you left me behind."
Ichigo gasped and stepped back, entire body shaking and heart jumping erratically. It couldn't be, the monster had to be lying, but one can't deny truth when it stands in front of them. It was likely, he couldn't believe he'd ever thought he'd escaped that attack almost completely unscathed. That scar was there for a reason and his father probably hadn't told him the whole story because he didn't want to scare him. No wonder he always felt so empty and lethargic like nothing had any meaning. He had thought it was because of his mothers death, but it had been because of his own.
"You grew up in the Human World." The monster continued. "While I grew up in Hueco Mundo. I might have been eaten if it wasn't for Grimm. I'm not gonna sit here and let you attack him. I'm gonna kill you instead."
