I'm so Sorry for not updating sooner! I couldn't figure out how to end this chapter. Cliffhanger or no cliffhanger? Introduce a new character or not introduce a new character?

Oh well. Here's the new Chapter for Mates For Eternity!

Shiro P.O.V.

Conciseness. That's all I was asking for at the moment. Why won't Ichi wake up? Why didn't I stay by his side like the big brother I am? I'm an idiot! So stupid!

Dammit!

I looked up to see Ichi hooked up to a bunch of machines I had no idea about. Ichi would know. He studies so he could be a doctor. Ichi's once bright sunset orange hair was slightly dulled and his beautiful, expressive, chocolate brown eyes are closed in sleep. His sun kissed skin is slightly paler than usual. His left arm is bandaged from where he was stabbed. His left shoulder, right hip, and just a few inches above his heart were bandaged as well. Some blood could be seen through the bandages.

The doc said he would also have some vision problems because when he fell he hit his head and the impact struck part of his brain or something. I didn't understand. I only want Ichi back.

I haven't been home since the attack. I think that was three days ago. Grimmjow hasn't left Ichi's side either. I'm not surprised since mean and Ichi are his Eternity Mates. Incubi and all kinds of other supernatural creatures exist. Ichi don't about them. I try to keep him in the dark so he doesn't worry more. Guess I gotta tell him when he wakes up. If he wakes up. No! Don't think like that! Ichi'll wake up! I know he will. A hand landed on my shoulder startling me out of my morbid thoughts.

"He'll be fine Shiro." Grimmjow says in a very serious yet soft voice.

"How do ya know? Fate or Destiny or whoever tha fuck is out there has screwed us over too many times ta fucking count! I-I-I don't know what I'll do wit out Ichi. He's ma King, ma baba brother, ma whole world. I love 'im and I don' wanna lose 'im, Grimm." By now I was crying on Grimmjow's shoulder. I didn't care if I looked like a wuss or a weakling. I wanted…No needed my King to wake up. I needed the comfort of my Alpha. Grimmjow's arms rose up and wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer.

"Shh. Shh. Shiro, it'll be okay. Ichigo's real strong. He'll pull through. If He doesn't-which there is a small chance of that happening- we'll just march up to Heaven and tear down the Holy Gates and take Ichi back. Besides Ichigo won't leave us here. He'll wake up. We just have to wait." Grimmjow soothed as he rubbed small circles into my back. I looked up into his face and asked,

"Really Grimm? Ya really mean tha?"

"Ya, I do, Shiro." He said. He leaned down and have me chaste kiss.

"Come on Shiro. You actually wanna be clean and – no offense- smelling good when Ichigo wakes up?" He chuckled as I wrinkled my nose. Geez. When did I start stinking so badly? As much as I wanted to stay by Ichi's side, Grimm had a point.

"Alright."

ICHIGO P.O.V.

Sluggishly, I started to awaken. Fuck. Why do I hurt so much? And what the fuck is that fucking beeping sound? I slowly opened my eyes only to shut them when a bright light nearly blinded me.

"Oh! I'm terribly sorry Mister Kurosaki! I did not notice you were awakening. Hold on a moment and I'll dim the lights a little." A woman's voice said. "There now. You can open your eyes." I slowly opened my eyes, again. I looked around and recognize the hospital décor and the antiseptic smell that only morgues and hospitals have. White walls, white ceiling, white everything. Bleck. I may not like color all that much, but I love some color, even if its black, silver, blue, and white.

I'm thrown out of thoughts when a blinding pain erupts from shoulder, hip and chest. I curled in a ball as I heard that woman start screaming for some doctor. The pain was unbearable. I want Shiro. Where's Shiro? Why isn't he here? The pain was too much. My vision blackened and I passed out.

Voices. I could hear voices coming from somewhere. Where are they coming from? And why do they sound so familiar? I tuned in to hear what they were saying.

"Go fuck ya self! There has ta be a way ta save King! Ya can't just go and pull 'im off tha life suppor' thing!" That voice. Shiro? Yeah it's Shiro. I feel it.

"Yeah! You are not pulling him off, Damnit." Who is that? It sounds familiar. A flash of sky blue hair and dark ocean eyes popped up. Grimm- Grimmjo- Grimmjow? Grimmjow! It's Grimmjow. Wait. Why do I feel giddy about him?

"I'm sorry. But it is only logical we put him out of his misery now instead of letting him lay in a vegetable like state for the rest of his life. Now move so I may, how you say in layman's terms, pull the plug." I felt anger course through me. They were going to kill me. Fuck that.

Fighting through what little pain I still felt, I opened my eyes and sat up. Clutching my chest I spoke,

"Like fuck your pulling tha plug." I panted out. "if anyone's pulling tha plug then'll it be me, when I die of old age or somethin'." I could Shiro standing there with a look of pure surprise and joy on his face. Grimmjow stood next to him with the same expression. Behind them stood some doctor who was openly glaring at me, like he was hoping he would get to pull the plug on me. Sick fuck.

"Ichi!" I couldn't even say hi before Shiro tackled me to the bed. I let out a strangled groan as my injuries were jostled. Wait…injuries? It all came back to me in flash. Rangiku, the two men I killed, that bastard who shot me, and Shiro and Grimmjow finding me in the alleyway before I passed out.

"OH! God! Ichi!I'm so sorry! I fergot abou' tha injuries!" Shiro yelps as he jumps off me.

"It's ok. Just be more careful." I groan out.

"Well now that Mister Kurosaki is up, you three can get the fuck out of my hospital." With that the doctor left.

"Fucking asshole." I muttered. Shirro laugheed alittle.

"Fuck King. Don't scare ma like tha'. I thought ya were gonna go ta Heaven wi mom an' tha others." Shiro sobbed out as he held my hand. Ignoring the pain I pulled Shiro until he was laying his head in my lap where I could stroke his hair and singhis favorite song from when we were kids.

We sat there in silence for a few minutes before I broke it.

"Shiro. What happened after I passed out?" I felt Shiro tense up. Grimmjow was the one who spoke.

"WE found you in the alleyway covered in blood. There was two bodies near ya."

"Yeah. The two bodies were my doing." I sighed. Grimmjow looked aat me with surprise while Shiro grumbled about missing my kills.

"Anyway," Grimmjow said, "We called the ambulance and you were brought here to the hospital."

"H-How long was I out?" I hesitantly asked. Shiro sat up and looked me square in the eyes. His golden eyes surrounded in an obsidian sea where uncharacteristically serious and devoid of the usual mischief and insanity.

"Ichigo. Ya've been in a coma fer three months."

Sorry about the wait and the shortness of this chapter. Anyway, putting Ichi into a coma is part of the plan please don't hate me for it!
