Grimmjow's Queen Chap 3 (Patreon)

Chap 3 Where Have You Been

Grimmjow was frozen for a moment, though he had his doubts at first but there was no mistaking that scent. It was Ichigo alright, the boy had grown into the beautiful and powerful creature that was before him. Ichigo's power had certainly grown, the blue-haired Espada could feel it licking at his skin from where he stood, but there was something else. ‘Control!' There was a reign on the boy's power, so instead of a wild inferno, it was more of a controlled blaze.  

His freezing was noticed by Ichigo. “Can you speak?” he didn’t drop his guard. “Listen, I have no business with Soul Society or Las Noches, if you mean no harm please leave before you attract Soul Society's attention."   

“I can’t leave yet,” he says, finding his voice. “I’m searching for someone.”  

“So you can speak, if you intend to hurt this person I’ll have to stop you here.”  

“I’m afraid I’ve hurt this person already, I need to find him to apologize.”  

“And this person is worth more than your life?”  

Without hesitation Grimmjow said. "Yes!" Ichigo sighed and dropped his guard finally. He ruffled his orange hair.   

“Jeez, I’d better help you,” he turned his back to him. “Faster you find this guy the faster you can get out of here before Soul Reapers show up.” he took a few steps forward.

“I’ve already found him.” Grimmjow lowers his hood. “Ichigo...” Ichigo stops walking.  

“What is your name?” his hand tightens on Tsubaki.  

“Grimmjow...Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez.” he removed his cloak allowing his spiritual pressure to be felt. Ichigo turned to face him, eyes wide and hands trembling. ‘It’s different, but it feels like...’   

“Grimmjow?” he hadn’t spoken that name in so long. This wasn’t the wild beast that had become his friend this was a man. Ichigo’s eyes roamed over his form, he spotted the half broken mask and the zanpakuto.  

“It’s me Ichigo...the big cat you saved and followed you home.”  

“It can’t be...” Ichigo walked up to him, his spiritual pressure licking at Grimmjow’s skin. The bluenette blushed, his heart starting to pound. Ichigo cupped his unmasked cheeks and looked deep into his eyes. ‘The same eyes!’

“How can this be?” Ichigo asked.

“A lot happened, you see I...” Punch!  

Ichigo punched him, and damn it if he didn't hit hard. He knocked Grimmjow flat on his ass. "Damn you!" Ichigo snapped and quickly pinned Grimmjow to the ground. "Damn you!" he shouts again and punches Grimmjow's cheek once more.   

The Espada took the first hit cause he was caught off guard, the second because he was stunned that Ichigo had hit him, the third well that one he kinda deserved. "Where have you been? Damn you! Where have you been!?" Grimmjow was about to get mad when he felt tears fall and hit his face. "Where have you been...Grimmjow?" The boy had stopped hitting him and tears began to fall from him.   

Grimmjow’s eyes widened. He hadn’t seen Ichigo cry in so long, and to know he was the cause hurt worse than any blow Ichigo had thrown. “All this time, I thought...I thought...I thought,” He didn’t want to say what he thought. It had passed through his head on more than one occasion. “You promised me you would come back and you never did!”  

“I’m sorry Ichigo I...” he was cut off again as Ichigo hugged him. The boy trembled against him, just as he did as when his mother passed.   

“I thought you were gone, and I wasn’t able to do anything. Just like...just like...” he sobbed.  

Grimmjow hugged him back. “Ichigo, no more tears. I wanted to come back to you I did, not a day went by I didn’t think about you.” he rubbed the boy’s back. “I’m here now.”  

He held Ichigo until the boy calmed down. Ichigo snuggled into his warmth, and the boy’s scent in kind and spiritual pressure soothed Grimmjow.  

“Are you gonna leave me again?” Ichigo asked.

"I don't want to." he nuzzled Ichigo. ‘His scent has matured.' he took in the boy's natural aroma and felt himself purr. Ichigo chuckled and Grimmjow blushed.   

“Did you just purr?” he couldn’t help but laugh.

“I did not!” he looked away and Ichigo chuckled.  

“It’s cute.”  

“I am not cute!” he huffs.  

"You really haven't changed that much have you?" Ichigo touched his cheek again, this time his masked one. He caressed the bone like mask. "It's really you," Grimmjow smirked.   

“Yeah, it’s still me just a new kind of me.”  

"You've gotten stronger I can feel it," Ichigo says.   

“That happens when you ascend, I never made it to becoming a Vasto Lorde.”  

“I think you’re pretty great,” Ichigo hugged him again. Grimmjow smiled, hugging him back.  

"You haven't changed much at all either," he says. "Same old berry."    

“I missed you so much!” he says, and Grimmjow chuckled.  

"Really, I hadn't noticed." His time with Aizen felt like a distant memory now, he was back with his berry. Fear, doubts, and concerns about what happens next were far from Grimmjow's mind, he was enjoying the moment.   

Their moment ended as Ichigo heard a small bell. “Quick, Soul Society is coming!” he moved fast, green light sparking from his feet as he moved at high speed. Grimmjow was able to follow using sonido.  

By the time they made it to Ichigo’s house, Grimmjow could feel a gate opening up. “This way.” he brought Grimmjow inside. “The King has entered his Castle!” he says and blows a kiss. Grimmjow felt it, a powerful barrier was erected.  

“Amazing, did you make this?” Ichigo nodded.           

“My teacher told me that with my abilities, and my sisters growing powers it would be best for a barrier that can mask our presence.”  

‘He really has changed. His powers have become amazing.’ Grimmjow was impressed. ‘It’s a good thing he doesn’t want to get involved with Soul Society, not with Aizen lurking in the shadows.’ He couldn’t risk telling Ichigo, Aizen wouldn’t let the boy live if he knew anything about him or his plans. ‘I will never let Aizen get his hands on you, I’d rather die!’  

Ichigo led Grimmjow to his room, the place sure hadn’t changed much, a few more pictures by the style remained the same.

Rukia Kuchiki entered the world of the living. “Rukia Kuchiki reporting in, I’m beginning my six-month stay in the world of the living.”  

“Roger, your orders are simple. You will be covering Karakura Town, investigating the strange number of hollows that seem to flock to the area. From our scans there seems to be a powerful force dealing with hollows in the area, do not engage with it but find out what you can.”  

"Got it!" she says. She had heard the rumors read the reports. The soul reaper normally stationed in Karakura Town was no longer able to perform their duties, but despite the time it took to find a replacement hollow activity continued to occur, but no injuries or fatalities were recorded. A powerful soul was dealing with the hollows of their own accord.  

It was a mystery, could it have been a rogue soul reaper trying to get back into the good graces of soul society? A powerful human? A Quincy? So many possibilities Mayuri actually pushed for the matter to be investigated.   

“Rukia Kuchiki, we have received a recent alert, the powerful soul took out two strange hollow signatures before you arrived, however another powerful enemy appeared near the powerful soul, both vanished off our scans. Proceed with caution.”  

“Understood.” She ended the call and headed out.

Ichigo sighed. "Man, these clothes are supposed to help protect me in battle but wearing them tires me out." The bodysuit Ichigo was wearing was similar to Yoruichi's just not as skin tight. Ichigo starts to strip, and Grimmjow felt a primal urge strike him.   

His blood rushed south and his manhood began to swell. Grimmjow had to bite his lip. He took in Ichigo’s growing naked form. The muscle, the years have been good to him, Grimmjow couldn’t help but lick his lips. ‘Easy boy, we can’t go scaring our little berry can we.’  

“Coming to bed Grimmjow?” the words suddenly pierced Grimmjow’s heart. His cock jumped, pushing at the fabric of his pants.  

“What?” he got a truly impressive sight. Ichigo clad in only his boxers. The boy had truly become a fine man, one that would certainly catch an eye or two.  

“It’s late, I’m tired, and I need to get some sleep. Are you gonna join me?” he moved over to the bed and pulled back the covers. Grimmjow’s fingers itched, the beauty before him put all his fantasies to shame. He wanted to touch, wanted to lick and taste. His hollow instincts were telling him to pin the boy to the bed and ravish him. The boy was the ultimate temptation. His cock certainly knew how it wanted this to play out.  

It involved ripping the boy's underwear off and hearing him moan in pleasure, saying his name hotly. "Grimmjow?" the boy's voice pulled him back.   

"I can sleep on the floor," he says. ‘I’ve already hurt Ichigo before, I can’t jump him without knowing he wants me back.’

“That's dumb you never complained about sleeping in my bed before." Grimmjow twitched. The days he spent in Ichigo's bed was some of his happiest memories. ‘The situation is a little different now!' he thinks. ‘Seriously does he not know what's he's doing to me?' Ichigo slipped into his bed and waited for Grimmjow.   

“Just close your eyes for a moment." Ichigo tilted his head to the side in confusion but did so. Grimmjow removed his clothing, ditching the hated white garb, his hard cock sprang up. He climbed into Ichigo's bed but made sure to turn away from the boy so he didn't see his aching erection.   

Ichigo did peek a little though seeing Grimmjow’s sexy human body. A faint blush marks his cheeks and keeps his eyes closed. As soon as Grimmjow was settled in Ichigo embraced him from behind. “Grimmjow, is this a dream? If I go to sleep will you still be here?”  

Grimmjow took hold of his hand, lacing his fingers. “I’m not going anywhere.” Ichigo snuggles into him.  

“I’ve missed this.” he sighs.

"Me too," Grimmjow says, he snuggles into the warmth the boy offered.
