Shortly after Aizen kicked Grimmjow out, he ended the party and sent everyone out of the room.

I was left sitting in my seat, holding my head in my hands, and thinking about what had just happened. I couldn't bear the thought of Aizen hurting Grimmjow. I just couldn't. But what was I supposed to do? I had really made a mess of things.

"Brooke," I heard Aizen say, as he gently placed his fingers under my chin and tilted my head upwards to look at him, "What's wrong?"

What's wrong? Every thing is wrong. I think I love you, but I also love Grimmjow. And I don't want anyone to get hurt, but I know that, no matter what I do, somebody will get hurt. It may even be me.

"Nothing. My head just hurts." I responded dishonestly.

Aizen's eyes narrowed as he examined my face. "Did that bastard hurt you?"

I sighed. "No. I would have kicked his ass if he did. I'm fine."

Aizen nodded. "Okay. You can go back to my room and rest." I watched as an angry and passionate fire burst into his eyes. "I will go and take care of Grimmjow."

I looked down to hide the tears swelling in my tired, lifeless hazel eyes and whispered, "Alright."

I made my way to Aizen's room, and when I finally got inside and was alone, I let the tears pour down my face and let out a frustrated cry.

"Gah! What am I supposed to do? I can't let him hurt Grimmjow!"

Suddenly the door opened and Tohru walked inside, shutting the door behind her.

"You're not going to let him hurt him, are you?" She asked in a serious tone.

I didn't bother questioning why it mattered to her, Tohru was impossible. I simply shook my head. "No, I can't let him hurt him, Tohru. But what do I do?!"

Tohru let out a frustrated sigh.

"He's your fiance, Brooke! If anyone can talk some sense into him, it's you. Stop sitting around and letting all of the decisions be made for you. If you don't want Grimmjow to get hurt, don't let him get hurt! Aizen is already at his room though, so I would suggest you hurry!"

I gasped and quickly dashed out of Aizen's room, and into Grimmjow's and saw Aizen and Grimmjow standing with their swords, in fighting stances. Obviously a fight was about to start. Neither of them noticed me come in.

Grimmjow yelled at Aizen, "I told you, you bastard, she doesn't really love you! She loves me! I can make her happy! You can only make her think she's happy!"

Aizen glared. "I'm telling you again, Grimmjow, do not speak to me with such disrespect. She loves me. Except it, Espada."

I stared at them both in horror. What have I done..?

Without another word, Aizen swung his sword at Grimmjow, but Grimmjow quickly dodged it and attempted to stab Aizen in the chest. Aizen vanished just before the sword made contact with his flesh, only to reappear behind Grimmjow and slice directly into his right shoulder. Grimmjow fell to the floor with a groan, holding his bleeding shoulder.

"Tch, weak." Aizen scoffed.

I screamed and ran to Grimmjow's side.

"STOP! Both of you, stop it!"

Aizen's eyes widened at me. "Brooke? What are you doing? It's not safe for you to be here. Go back to my room!"

I growled and continued to kneel beside Grimmjow. "NO."

Aizen's eyes narrowed at me dangerously, and I felt a nervous chill run up my spine.

"Brooke..." Grimmjow said as he stood up, "Please... Go. I don't want you to get hurt."

I defiantly stood between Grimmjow and Aizen.

"No! Now both of you, stop!"

Grimmjow stared at me, "Brooke, you can't interfere in a fight like this. If you interfere, you're in the fight. And neither of us are going to fight you."

"Dammit, no! You two are NOT fighting!" I yelled impatiently.

Aizen cut in viciously, "Fine! I won't bother wasting my time fighting him. I'll kill him right now!" His head lowered, "Cero 95," He began mumbling off words in a language I wasn't familiar with, preparing to use an advanced cero on Grimmjow.

I screamed and blocked Grimmjow with my own body, "No!'

Aizen stopped and slowly lifted his head to look at me, the look in his eyes was deadly. "Brooke... What are you doing?"

Grimmjow placed his hands on my shoulders. "I told you, Aizen. Even if she won't admit it, she still loves me. By killing me, all you will do is hurt her."

I shut my eyes and didn't say a thing. Why couldn't it all just stop?

Grimmjow squeezed my shoulders. "Brooke, just tell him. Tell him who you really love."

"...Brooke...?" Aizen urged me.

I snapped at them angrily, "I do love Grimmjow, Okay?! DAMMIT."

I didn't dare look into Aizen's eyes.

"Finally..." Grimmjow breathed.

"But I..." Aizen's voice mumbled, "You... No. No, no, no! You can't love him. You love me!"

I looked down and quietly replied, "I do love you... But I just can't find the strength to let him go."

Aizen's voice sounded pained, "No, we are getting married... No..."

I didn't look at him, but turned and gently touched Grimmjow's wound, getting blood on my hands.

I heard Aizen growl, and suddenly I was gone, standing in another room, just me and Aizen.

"Brooke..." Aizen sighed. "I am very unhappy with you."

I glared at him. "I'm sorry, Azien. But I can't help how I feel."

"Well, you're going to have to." He said menacingly.

I arched a brow. "What do you mean by that...?"

"Well, it's very important that we get married, so I need you to forget about these feelings for Grimmjow."

I rolled my eyes. "I can't do that! I'm not going to marry you, Aizen."

Aizen smirked. "If you don't want Grimmjow to die, you will marry me."

My eyes widened. "Excuse me?"

"You saw that just now," Aizen said, "I could have killed Grimmjow easily had you not so rudely interfered. Obviously you don't want him to die, so I propose we make a little deal." Aizen's smirk turned to an insane grin. "You marry me, and I won't lay a finger on Grimmjow. But you refuse me, and I'll hand you his head on a platter."

I gasped and felt tears form in my eyes.

"You wouldn't!"

"Oh, but I would." He chuckled.

Aizen was mad. Absolutely mad. Why did he want to marry me this bad? He couldn't possibly love me that much. The way he was treating me now, he couldn't possibly love me at all. But I couldn't let Grimmjow die. I would rather spend eternity under Aizen's arm, than know Grimmjow died, when I could have stopped it. I had to do this. He was giving me no real choice.

I glared at Aizen and said through clenched teeth, "Fine."

"Fine, what?" Aizen whispered.

"Fine, Aizen, I will marry you."

Aizen's grin widened. "Excellent." Suddenly he was directly in front of me, his hand stroking my cheek. "Shall we seal the deal with a kiss?"

My lip quivered as I nodded and Aizen's head inclined towards mine. He pressed his lips to mine in the most torturous and emotionless kiss I had ever experienced. What have I gotten myself into?

______________

Wow! Crazy chapter. Loved writing it. Tell me, were you expecting that?

I think we all already knew that Aizen was a little Cocoa for Cocoa Puffs, but this just got legit! I think he needs to be sent to a room with lots of pillows and nice men with nets, right?

I hope you enjoyed the chapter. We're getting close to the end of the series!

I know, it's sad. ):

Please vote and leave comments and motivate me to write the rest!

Thanks for being awesome.
