Chapter 8: Search and Find
Before Ishida could locate the Arrancar and shinigami from earlier, he was greeted by them along with a man in hat and clogs, a female shinigami, Orihime, and Chad. He looked a bit confused but shook that off. He would ask later and inform the group now. "I have something to share with you if you don't mind." A small grin surfaced on Urahara's face. So the Quincy had information to share. That was great. Question is, what could it be though? "Do share with us all. It'll help us greatly, Ishida-kun." The man in hat and clogs said with a slight nod. "I was doing a bit of my own investigation about this Kurosaki-san character. And I believe I came across him with his captor. Well, more like I just happen to be in the area when they showed up. I do not know what this suspicious shinigami has planned or has done. But I think perhaps he's behind the memory alteration. Also, he did a pretty good number on Kurosaki-san as well. They took off North-West from the Kurosaki house hold. Possibly in the mountain area somewhere.." As he finished giving his input, he pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose.
Grimmjow gave a derisive snort which came with an aggravate look as well. "Well whaddaya know. Four-eyes is right. I can sense Kurosaki's reiatsu from here. Or what's left of it.."
The Quincy rolled his eyes as he gave an annoyed look the Arrancar's way. "Of course I'm right. And I'm not four-eyes, stalker.." He quickly retorted. It was not his way of usually dealing those types but in this case, the Arrancar annoyed him a lot more than a shinigami would.
The ex-Espada leaped forward, grabbing at Ishida's collar. "Wanna say that again, four-eyes?" Urahara pulled Grimmjow away from the Quincy. "No need to get upset over a little taunting, Grimmjow. Now isn't the time." He then turned around partly, grinning at the Arrancar. "Besides, Ishida-kun is right about the stalker thing. Not sure what he meant by it but.." The man in hat and clogs chuckled in pure mirth. "I do know that you have stalked Kurosaki-san more than once." That shut the ex-Espada up real good. A few snickers could be heard from Gin and Rukia. Chad just stood there quietly and Orihime seemed a bit confused at this.
"Shall we be on our way then?" Gin asked, grinning the whole time. He snickered one last time as he look over in Grimmjow's direction.
All six of them began to head of in the direction of North-West. The directions that Ishida had mentioned earlier. Grimmjow sneered in Gin's direction flipping him off. "Piss off, Ichimaru!" He snarled crudely. Being the instigator he was, the ex-captain decided to egg this on. "Our second course of action after rescuing Kurosaki-kun and restoring everyone's memories is to get you laid And Kurosaki-kun should handle that for you."
Everyone froze at Gin's statement and just sorta stared at him in disbelief. The ex-Espada looked rather displeased after hearing that bit from the white haired shinigami. Urahara looked back, looking back and forth between the two. He could only smile and chuckle at this. By the time they arrived it was completely dark out. No light could reach this area. The forest's canapy covered the small group, blocking out the faint light that emitted from the pale white moon. The hidden lair in the mountain cave was just a few feet away. At this point usually Urahara would have something to say. Like instructing them to keep their guard up. But something else seemed to be preoccupying his mind at the time. As the small group journeyed up the mountain side, he began to feel uneasy about something. Something quite ominous, he hoped it would subside and be nothing in particular though. Of course none of this had to do with the rescue within itself but... Maybe before, during, or even after the rescue something or someone will interfere. The only one who actually noticed this was the ex-Espada himself.
As Ishida, Chad, Inoue, Rukia, and Gin continued on both Grimmjow and Urahara stood behind for a bit. Gray eyes met with blue eyes, both looked concerned and wary. "Ya have this uneasy feeling too, huh?" The hat and clogs man's eyes darkened with a playful look. "I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this uneasiness." The ex-Espada's eyes glistened dangerously with a feral like smirk. "Yeah.. Like the very minute we exited the forest something started bothering me.." The blonde nodded his head. Again, he hopes this uneasiness comes down to nothing and the feeling ebbs out. "Just in case though, let us both keep our guard up. We can't afford for any screw ups." Both the Arrancar and former shinigami quickly made their way back up to the group before anyone could notice.
As they reached the entrance they all stood there quietly. All eyes carefully looking over the place, for traps or the sign of the ex-shinigami. Just as Chad, Inoue, and Rukia could waltz in, Ishida had stopped them. "Wait! Not yet..." He told them while reaching into a small pouch attached to his belt. He took out a small spray can of black paint. Chad took notice and looked at him questioningly. "What's that for..?" The Quincy pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose, giving a light sigh. "There may not be any infrared sensors but it doesn't mean this place isn't rigged of some sorts. I'll use this can of black spray paint to reveal to see if there are any wires laid out.."
Gin lightly tilted his head to the side with his trademark grin. "Ya always come prepared don't ya, Quincy?" Urahara stood beside the silver haired shinigami, hand resting on his shoulder as he peered over. "That's actually a very good call, Ishida-kun." Ishida took this chance and spray the black paint over the wires to reveal them. Orihime took this chance to use her Shun Shun Rikka to destroy the wire layout. "Koten Zanshun!" She called out. "I reject!" After that, Tsubaki appeared and immediately and effortlessly knocked down all the wires that were set up. The group then proceed inside it was only a little more further until they came across a severely injured Ichigo.
His clothes wore torn more, he was covered in dirt and blood stains, and his breathing was hoarse and ragged. There were a few new wounds but most of them were old. His body shifted a little and a faint groan could be heard. Urahara knelt down beside him to get a better look at the orange haired teen. "Kurosaki-kun, can you hear me..?" At first there was no response, he just sat there quietly on his knees only breathing. His eyes opened and took a small glance up at the man in hat and clogs and smiled lightly. "Sorry to make you guys worry like this.. And yeah.. I can hear you." The blonde signaled Grimmjow to kneel beside him. The blue haired male shifted over to where Urahara was kneeling and crouched down. "Do me a favor, take Kurosaki-kun and Inoue-san away from here and return to my shop so he can be properly healed." Much to the ex-Espada's disdain he gave a light nod, scowling. "Fine. Whatever..." He looked rather unpleased. "Grimmjow. I'm counting on you now." Tsubaki zipped through the remaining wires that bind and constricted around the substitute shinigami and freed him from it.
Without any hesitation the Arrancar hauled Ichigo's beaten body over his shoulder and held Orihime at his waist. "Don't worry about us." The hat and clogs man called out as he waved to Grimmjow. "Ishida-kun, Sado-kun, Gin, and I will deal with everything else from here." Without a second to spare the ex-Espada took off quickly. He effortlessly zipped through the sky with his sonido. It only took a total of maybe five minutes at the most to get back to Urahara's Shop. The second Grimmjow got inside the shop, he carefully set Orihime down on her feet and then carefully laid down Ichigo onto a bed. "Do ya thing, princess.." The blue haired male left those two in the room alone so Orihime can properly heal the orange haired teen.
"Souten Kisshun.." The auburn girl said softly with a look of hurt in her eyes. "I reject." She quickly finished. Ayame and Shun'ou appeared and immediately went to work. The orange healing barrier covered the substitute shinigami's body and began healing all his woulds. He frowned slightly seeing the sad look upon her face. "I'm alive aren't I?" Ichigo looked up at her, his eyes staring into her's. "There's no need to be sad at all, Inoue." A sad smile appeared on her face. "I'm sorry." He blinked, looking a bit confused. "For what?" She looked off to the side for a second. "For forgetting or not remembering you at all." Orihime then looked back at him. "It must be awful. For you to remember everyone and have mostly everyone forget who you are."
The orange haired teen grinned, looking away as he waved a hand. "It is sad but I think I'll be alright." He then looked back at her. "So wait..." He paused, slightly frowning. "Exactly who does remember me then or rather didn't forget about me..?" The auburn girl giggled and smiled. "Gin-san, Urahara-san, Kuchiki-san, and Grimmjow haven't." And then it suddenly hit him. He knew something was odd about the group of people that came to help him. Gin and Grimmjow were in it. But how? He had thought that Gin died from Aizen's blow. Aizen did cut and then ripped the man's arm off. And he wasn't certain if Grimmjow had lived or not after saving him from Nnoitra's underhand attack. But if he had to guess, Urahara probably took them in, made a deal with them of some sorts and restored them to full health again. The substitute shinigami couldn't comprehend why Grimmjow would agree to help any shinigami or human out. He worked for Aizen at one point in time. And he still was confused about Gin and his decision to help or even team up.
While Ichigo laid there on the bed resting and off in his own zone thinking, he didn't notice that Grimmjow entered back in the room. "How's the brat doing..?" Orihime turned to look up at the Arrancar. "He's doing well now. Most of his injuries are gone." Upon hearing himself being called 'brat', he snapped his attention over towards the ex-Espada with a scowl. "Oi, Grimmjow. I'm not a brat you asshat!" His bright blue eyes lit up with a playful look in them. "Back to yer'self are ya?" Ichigo shot up a glare in the blue haired male's direction but it quickly disappeared.
So if Grimmjow and Gin were still alive then maybe there was a chance that Nel was still around. "Oi, Grimmjow.. Is Nel still around..?" He asked carefully, his brown eyes meeting with those of blue. The Arrancar's playful expression changed to that of a more serious look. "Yeah. She is. She's hiding somewhere in Urahara's underground training room." He looked relieved for a second when Grimmjow assured him that Nel was alright and around somewhere. "May I ask why she's down there..?" An annoyed look took place on the face of the ex-Espada. "Two words, brat. Eternal. Tag." The substitute shinigami gave the Arrancar a flat look. "You're kidding me right..? How is she even playing that by? Isn't she by herself..?"
"Do ya really want me to answer that..?" Grimmjow asked with a smirk, raising a brow. His smirk grew wider when he noticed that the other was looking a bit nervous.
"Sure. Go for it." A light snort came from Ichigo as he shrugged his shoulders. "I don't think anything else could surprise me at this point."
"HA!" The ex-Espada gave a derisive snort before letting out a loud laughter. "Urahara requested a few watermelon anti-hollows from Seireitei for supposed 'training' purposes."
The moment watermelon anti-hollows were mentioned, the orange haired teen grew pale. That sparked the Arrancar's interest though. He wondered if the orange haired brat had a bad experience with one. The look on his face certainly spelled it out as clear as day to him though. "Yo princess, done healing him..?"
Orihime looked down at Ichigo who was fully healed and back to himself. No cuts, bruises, deep wounds, or torn clothes can be seen. The dried blood stains along with the dirt stains however stood on his restored clothes. "Yep. He's all better." She replied with a big smile.
"Great then." That's when the ex-Espada grabbed the orange haired teen and hauled him over his shoulder again. As he held the boy, his hand was unknowingly placed firmly on his ass. However, that caused Ichigo to squirm uncomfortably and struggle. "Oi! Grimmjow! Watch what you're touching! And put me down you idiot!" The Arrancar ignored the others shouting and complaining and headed towards the backroom that lead to the underground training room.
