Ahoy there! Another chapter! Oh, yes, they DO do some stuff in bed, but I decided not to go into the details. :)Mauhahahaha!

Oh, yeah, for the first half, Grimmjow is still calling Chad "Sado" and Uryuu "The geek"

I guess the teach wasn't in yet, so kids stood in groups around the room.

"Who's the new kid?" "He looks scary." "I don't know… he's kinda cute!" "I don't like the look of this guy…"

Damn, people talked loud.

"Okay, okay, quiet down." The teacher walked past me and Kurosaki in the door.

"So, Ichigo, you've finally come back from another little trip, I see you've brought your friends back." She glanced around the room and Orihime, the geek, Sado, and Rukia. Apparently Rukia didn't wipe that from memory. "And who is this?"

Kurosaki walked away to his seat and I glared after his back. "Grimmjow, I'm guessing since you're the teacher you should know that." I growled, and turned to glare at her. She didn't seem disturbed.

"Do you have a last name Grimmjow?" She probably thought I was just another kid with an attitude problem. "Jeagerjaques." I responded. She raised an eyebrow. "It's French."

"Yes. The new student. You may sit in the back row, last seat on the left." She pointed and I sulked back there. I caught Orihime's eye, but she looked away, twiddling with her thumbs. She looked pale.

I sat in the back, watching the back of Orihime's head. I wondered if she was hungry. The familiar hunger was creeping on me too, since we left Hueco Mundo, filled with spirit partials in the air. There's hardly any here. She's a new arrancar, she must be hungry.

I glared slightly. If she gets too hungry she might lose control. I closed my eyes against that thought and looked out the window. "School is boring." I mutter. Several kids look around to me and childishly I stick my tongue out. "What the hell are you looking at?" They looked away quickly.

"I'm off to lunch!" The teacher said, strolling out of the room. Almost instantly everyone started to babble. Orihime stood and walked over.

"Grimmjow how's your first day of school going?" I was aware of several people staring. She smiled and closed her eyes. I could see past the façade that she put on.

"Are ya' hungry yet?" She blinked at me.

"It is lunch…" She mumbled. I raised an eye brow at her.

"You know what I mean." I said softly, so no one would hear. Orihime opened her mouth to speak, but tons o f girls came and almost knocked her down.

"Orihime, where have you been?!" A girl with short black hair said. "Oh! No, I've been fine!" Orihime said. I noticed she avoided all the questions about where she was.

"Do you know him?" The same girl asked, looking down at me. Orihime smiled.

"Yeah, I met Grimmjow before I left." She spoke. The girl turned to Orihime.

"He doesn't look like the guy's you usually hang out with… he looks mean. Does he bother you?"

Orihime opened her mouth to speak when I interrupted. "Ya' know I can hear you."

The girl looked annoyed, turning her gaze to me. "Was I talking to you?"

"Tatsuki! Grimmjow!" We both looked at Orihime as she pleaded. "It would be really bad for me if you two didn't get along!" I growled as the Tatsuki girl abruptly pulled Orihime to the side.

"Don't you eat, like, at all?" I looked over at Kurosaki, followed be Rukia and Sado. The geek was, once again, nowhere to be found, although I was sure I saw him when I came in.

"Not your food, but I am hungry." Looked over at the girl with black hair talking to Orihime. "Who's she?"

"Don't. Even. Think. About. It." Ichigo said fiercely. I smiled at the two girls and out of the corner of my eye saw the punch coming.

I grabbed his fist and turned. "Chill out. I'll just eat a hollow later. It should satisfy me."

Some of the people in the room muttered and looked over. Almost as if it was meant to happen, I smelt it just as the skull on Kurosaki's pants lit up. I let go of his fist.

"A hollow's near."

"We know." Rukia spoke up, glaring. I wondered briefly where Renji was.

"Time to get lunch." I stood and waved. Just as I left, I noticed Orihime watching me, her nostrils flared slightly. No doubt she could smell every soul in this room. I would have to tell Urahara about her later.

The hollow was easy to kill, just with my bare hands. (Urahara has my sword at his house; Ichigo didn't want it on me.) I had to slip off the bracelet to eat it, which the clasp finally appeared when I reached to take it off. It was powerful enough for a decent meal.

I clasped the metal thing back on and cursed when the clasp disappeared.

Fucking thing, must only come off sometimes… I walked back slowly to the school. I would have plenty of time before lunch was over.

I walked into the class room and sighed when Ichigo wasn't present. Nether was Orihime. The geek was.

Without thinking, I went over and sat on the desk next to him.

Nether of us spoke for a long while, and then he turned slightly in my direction. "What do you want hollow?"

I leaned in close, so our faces where close. "You hate me don't you? Quincy." I smiled. I was feeling oddly pissed off, and wanted to mess with someone.

"You know I hate you." He said, finally looking at me. My smiled got wider and I leaned closer, whispering into his ear.

"Do you want to kill me?" I said, low and dangerously.

"I will kill you if you ever give me reason." I smiled and my voice turned lower as I growled.

"Do you think you can? I'll give you a shot if you want, or do I need to make you mad first?" I looked over at a random girl still in the room. "Should I kill her? Or how about him?" I jerked my chin towards another guy as I backed up a couple inches, to look at his face.

Sliding his chair over, the Quincy stood and turned toward me. I laughed a cold, mean laugh. "You get worked up so easily!" He reached for his wrist, and I straightened my spine just as someone's voice rang out.

"What are you shit heads doing?" I turned to look at the Tatsuki girl glaring at us, Orihime behind her.

"Nothing." I growled, turning from the Quincy. Orihime walked around Tatsuki and took my arm, whispering in my ear. "Please don't hurt my friends."

I smiled and kissed her head. "Of course not."

I was aware of the five or so people in the room staring at us with open mouths. People started to pour into the room then. I suspected lunch was almost over.

Orihime's hand twined with mine and I squeezed it before walking away.

I sat down heavily in my desk, glaring at the also glaring Tatsuki. Man, she annoys me. Ichigo walked in and she grabbed his fore arm and whispered something. Ichigo nodded.

This really pissed me off, but I didn't have a chance to say anything, because the teach walked in.

Class never seems to end! How can humans bare it?! It's like a prison! When a bell rang I finally raise my head from my desk. Ichigo seemed to materialize at my desk.

"I have to stay and get some make up work. Chad will take you to my house."

I growled. "I'm not a child, and I think I can get home without killing anyone if that's what you're implying."

He looked down his nose at me. "I know you're not a child, but I also know you're a monster. Not because you're an arrancar, because you, you personally, are cold, and whatever you're using Orihime for, it's not going to work." With that, he turned. I grabbed his wrist and jerked him around. Now my patience is entirely gone with him. I'm flat out pissed off.

Slamming him against the wall I growl over him. The few kids still here stand in the corner. Chad's hand comes down on my shoulder.

"I don't care what you think. I'm not here for you. I'm not using her in some grand plan Aizen told me or whatever. You should be glad, if it wasn't for her, I would kill you right now." I growl in his face, the hand on my shoulder tightens and jerks me back a little. I don't care. I'm too pissed at the boy in front of me to care to snap Chad's arm. "Don't test my patience Kurosaki; I wouldn't mind fighting you again." Turning, I shrug out of Chad's strong grip and stalk out the room.

A few people edged away from me as I left. Good. They should be scared. This is who I really am.

Walking off the sidewalk, I turn into the thin trees. I hear Chad following. I try to sonido away, but pain laced up my arm and instead I fell to my knees. Looking at the bracelet, a stream of profanities escaped my lips.

"Grimmjow?" Chad's gruff voice came from almost directly behind me.

"Oh fuck off. I'm going to go see Urahara." I knew he would follow.

"Yo! Anyone here?" I yell, popping my head into the shop. A black cat sitting on the counter opened an eye and sighed. "Wait here." Jumping off, he walked around a corner. I stared after it. "Cats can talk here? I never knew that."

"No, that's just her." Chad said. I frown. Her? Sounded like a dude to me.

A dark woman I take to be the cat (She changed fast) and Urahara came down the hall.

"Ah, Mr. Grimmjow, what can I do for you today?" He said pleasantly. I sat on the counter and leaned against the wall holding out my hand. "What does this do other than what you told me?"

"It makes it so you can't form gargantuas and sonido. It only comes off when you are hungry so you can absorb sprit energy and eat." He said matter of fact.

"So you took measures to make sure I can't go running off to Hueco Mundo?" I growl. No one answered. "You should make one for Orihime." The cat woman looked at me. "What for?"

"How much do you know about arrancars?" I ask her. She shook her head.

"Only how to make them, and what to use. The process. Aizen only knows the rest" Urahara said. I shook my head.

"New arrancars tend to feed more than the older ones, especially if they have a lot of power. I'm not entirely sure only hollows will state her hunger. She might lose control. She's also very powerful."

"How much power does she have?" The cat lady asked.

"Too much. She had a serious rise in power no one could explain. Aizen bound her before we came here, took her memories away and her free will. She's gained them back through my help, and her friends."

"But you still think he has hold of her." Urahara stated. I nod.

"And her own power. It's still growing I think. It will consume her and she will lose her hold on humanity, like many arrancars before her. She holds more power than the top Espada, and I'm not sure if it's grater than Aizen's or not."

An uncomfortable silence settled between us.

"I don't think you're giving Inoue-san much credit." I turned to see… Ishida.

"And what are you doing here?" I growl. He ignores me.

"I think Inoue-san is much stronger than you give her credit for."

"Think what you want, I know she won't last long with Aizen's taint on her. It's happened before. Her power will grow until it breaks her, and Aizen will control her mind. I know arrancars, you don't" An image came back to me. Orihime's sword at my thought as she woke up from a dream.

"Enough. We should call everyone here, other than Orihime." The cat lady turned and walked away.

"Urahara. I have one more thing." He looked over at me because I whispered. "I should have noticed before…. When a hollow turns into an arrancar, its power splits. Usually into a sword. Her power didn't spilt. She has no Zanpaktou. She can form one with her power, but it always fades away, never separating from her. She's purposely holding on to her power, which causes it to grow." I turn from him. "Nothing like that's ever happened before."

Sighing, the shop keeper turned. "Come. I need some coffee." Everyone followed.

I had broken some of the tension in the air. "What's coffee?" Sitting around the same table, a little girl brought a pot and cups. She poured a black liquid into mine.

'I wonder if it's harmful…' I sniff it. Holding it to my lips, I gingerly take a sip. I couldn't help it. Tilting my head back, I drained it all.

"Man that tasted good." I poured another glass and gulped it down.

"Don't let him have too much of that, He'll stay up all night." Ichigo walked in as I started my fourth cup, followed by Rukia and Renji.

Everyone stared at me as I studied the liquid. "How do you make it?"

"I hate that shit…" Renji muttered next to me, not answering.

Urahara moved the pot out of my reach inconspicuously as I drain my sixth cup.

"He sure likes caffeine doesn't he?" Rukia muttered. I could tell there was a little amusement in her voice.

"They should give you this before battles or something. It makes you all…" I trailed off, not knowing the word. I'm pretty sure my fingers are twitching.

Cat lady walks in and I work through the buzz of coffee to listen as she repeats what I told her. Urahara repeats the sword bit.

"Is there anything we can do?" Rukia asks.

I shrug. "It's never been stopped before. It's the natural course. You turn into an arrancar, your power splits. It grows as you gain experience, like anyone else's skills. She's a first to me." I burp and continue. "Aizen never had to bind anyone before either, I wasn't there and wouldn't know how to reverse it, only one here who was there is Orihime."

Another silence came over us.

"Can't we just ask?" I turned to glare at Ishida.

"Sure, just ask. I'm sure whatever Aizen did makes it so she won't answer."

"Are you saying she's loyal to him?" Ichigo snarled. I throw my hands up in exasperation.

"Of course she is! But not willingly! That's what I've been telling you! Yeah, she's broken most of it, yeah she's more herself, but it's still there!" I shouted. Renji rests his hand on my shoulder. Why do people keep doing that when I lose my temper? It just pisses me off more.

"Calm down. Okay, we get it." He said. I took a deep breath and realized I had stood. Renji did too. I sat down.

"Sorry..." I muttered glaring at the ceiling. "I'm used to anger, so it seems like I keep going to that emotion when I'm confused."

There was a sigh and Ichigo rubbed his temples. "I want to talk about him for a second." He said. "How can we trust him? I know he says he loves her, but really?" Slowly, my head rolls to the side.

"I. Love. Her. Yeah, get used to it. Fuck off."

Ichigo opens his mouth, but was interrupted. "I believe him." His head whirled around to Rukia.

"Look, Ichigo, I know it seems impossible, but I see how he looks at her, how he acts around her. I don't like him anymore than you do, but I've accepted that fact."

"It's a trick!" Ishida said.

"No it's not." Renji stated. Chad still said nothing.

The two boys looked at each other, then quickly away. Ichigo squeezed Rukia's hand under the table.

"Urahara, how are we going to help Inoue?" Ichigo said ignoring me.

Said man paused for a minute. "I'm going to work on something that will retain her powers like Grimmjow-san's bracelet and try to work an artificial food for them. I have to make a couple of tests." With that he stood and walked off. The cat woman followed.

I hit my head against the table and sat like that. The cold surface felt nice. "Damn mysterious shop keeper…" I mutter. No one moved, and I reached and grabbed the coffee pot, pouring another cup. Lifting my head, I sat straight and gulped down another one.

"Alright, alright. No more." Renji grabbed the nearly empty pot. "You've seemed to have grown an addiction."

I shrugged. "I'm full of energy."

"Yeah, it does that to you." Ichigo said coldly. "I'm going home, I don't care if you come or not." With that, he stalked out of the room followed by Rukia and Ishida.

I didn't even bother to growl or glare. I reached past Renji as he was distracted and poured another cup.

I gulped it down when he finally noticed. "Hey! What?! No more!"

Going to the window, he dumped the rest out. This time I did growl. "I like coffee."

"You're going to be up all night." Chad said, before standing and walking out the door. He grunted a good bye.

"Are you going to go to Ichigo's soon?" Renji asked once alone.

"Naw, I don't wanna spend the night with him." I laughed.

"That wasn't even funny. Where are ya' going?" He asked.

"Why, you want company?" Looking over at him lazily, I smiled. "Cause I believe I already made it clear Orihime and I are a thing."

He glared and his eyebrow twitched. "Fuck. You."

"You would like too." I laughed at his expression. "Ah, whatever. I'm just playing… man… I want to hit something… What do you guys kill for fun around here?"

Renji looked at me weird. "Kill? For fun?"

"Yeah, when I got too much energy I usually go kill hollows. There are a couple around here… not enough for sport. I suppose you kill animals or something?"

Renji smacked the side of my head. "No! We kill nothing but hollows. It's good there aren't many around here! Do you have to kill something everyday or what?!" I bite his hand and he yelps.

"Then… I want to…" I was coffee drunk and my mind was jumbled.

'Is this what it feels like for humans when they get drunk?' I wondered.

"I'm going to see Orihime! That's what Ima do." I stood and walked out the door, leaving a muttering Renji. I caught. "Crazy" and "stupid coffee"

Searching Orihime's sprit pressure I was disappointed she wasn't alone, and pissed that I recognized the person's pressure with her. Tatsuki.

Walking outside, the sun was low in the sky.

Running behind buildings and in alleys, I reached her place and smiled to see the window open. Doors? Not for me.

Climbing through the small apartment's window, no one is in the front room. I smell something from the kitchen and hear voices. She's cooking.

Peeking inside, Tatsuki's standing, looking over Orihime's shoulder into a pot.

"What are you cooking? Smells weird."

Orihime jumps and squeals and the other girl jumps back and throws a metal stirring tool. I catch it easily and lick off the residue from the pot.

"Oh, that is disgusting." I said, and spit in the sink.

"Grimmjow? What are you doing here?" Orihime gave me a smile, and sighed. "I thought a ghost got in!"

"Eh, just wanted to see you. You shouldn't keep windows open." I plopped the stirrer in the pot again. "That's stupid. Ghosts." I snorted.

"You licked that! Ew!" Orihime threw it out.

Finally Tatsuki speaks. "Orihime! He just broke in to your apartment and you're not going to do anything?"

"I didn't break anything. So it's not a break in. It's more like a… climb in." I laughed meanly, still buzzed on coffee. Speaking of coffee… "You got any coffee? Renji threw mine out."

"Orihime!" Tatsuki said threw her teeth.

"Tatsuki, Grimmjow would never hurt me. I'm not surprised he's here. I'm just glad he didn't do something like break the door." She smiled and bounced over to the coffee maker. "Should be done in about five minutes… Why did Renji throw your coffee out?"

Not looking away from Tatsuki's glare, I spoke. "Oh, he said I couldn't have anymore."

"Why?"

"No reason. He wanted it for himself." I smiled and Tatsuki looked away.

"Weird… I thought he didn't like coffee… Soups done!" I looked at the thick liquid with odd chunks. 'Soup?'

"None for me…" I said not because technically, I don't need food, but because it tastes gross.

"I'll eat at home…" Tatsuki said, eyeing the soup.

"More for me!" She put a glob in her mouth, and despite myself, I shared a disgusted look with Tatsuki. We both looked away quickly. "Come, come. Let's go sit."

We sat for a couple minutes listening to Orihime's chatter. Both of us only said about a sentence each. I jumped up when a ding came from the kitchen.

"Ah, that's the coffee." Orihime said.

"I'll get it!" I strode to the kitchen and grabbed a mug and the pot, carrying it out. I gulp down a cup not caring it burned my tongue.

Sighing, I refill my cup.

"I think that's why you're not allowed to have coffee." Tatsuki said after my third cup.

I looked to see them both staring at me. "What?"

"You're twitching."

"Oh… hm..." I drained another cup. Orihime leaned over and whispered something to Tatsuki. Her eyebrows knotted together, but she nodded. "Grimmjow, Orihime and I want to know why you have that on your shirt." I looked down and examined my shirt.

"Nothings there." I looked back up to see Orihime was already at the kitchen door with the pot of coffee, trying to hold in her giggles and Tatsuki smiling.

"Hey! My coffee!" I stand and follow her in there. She pours it down the sink and laughs as my hands snake around her waist.

"What was that for?" I said, nuzzling I her hair. 'I must be really coffee drunk…'

"I agree with Renji. You shouldn't have coffee." She said, turning in my grasp. I kissed her hard and she gasped pushing me away.

"That's just gross. At least wait till I'm gone." Tatsuki still sat in her spot, but we are easily seen from there. Making her voice a little too loud, so Tatsuki would hear, Orihime spoke.

"That's very improper Grimmjow." She bit back a smile and set the pot down.

I chuckled and ran back to my seat, jumping over a shocked Tatsuki. I smiled a mean smile, showing all my teeth.

"You're hyper." She noted dryly.

I shrugged. "So. I like it."

Orihime sat next to the girl, just as Tatsuki stood. "I should be going now." She hugged Orihime fast and glared at me as she walked to the door.

"Oh, really? I would love for you to stay." I say to her. She grunts at me.

"Grimmjow, shush." Orihime says to me. I snort but turn my head away from them both.

"Bye Tatsuki. I'm sorry you two don't get along." Orihime said, and Tatsuki laughed humorlessly.

"See you." The door shuts.

I turn my head back around when I hear Orihime sigh again. Hand on one hip, she studies me.

"What?" I ask.

"Do you think you could at least be nice to Tatsuki? I mean, please don't antagonize her." She says politely.

"What? I didn't do anything to her." I say. Orihime just sighs and sits across from me again, slurping up her soup. I decide to start up a new conversation, one that I can be sneaky with.

"Orihime, do you feel alright?" I ask with fake concern.

She looks up. "Of course. What do you mean?"

'How could I ask about Aizen without asking directly?' I wonder.

"Oh, it's nothing. You look a little pale" That wasn't a lie, and the concern this time wasn't either. I look at her food. "You must be hungry, and don't play dumb. I know that doesn't do anything."

Orihime did something I've never seen her do before. She sort of growled a low grunt and stood, taking her bowl with her. I follow into the kitchen.

"I don't want to talk about it Grimmjow." She said, dumping the soup in her sink.

I glare. "Well why not? It's not something we can avoid. You have to-" She interrupted, turning to face me.

"Well what am I supposed to do?!" She yells in my face. I stand there, completely shocked. I didn't even know she was capable of yelling. Another thing that made me unable to reply was the sparkling tears running down her cheeks.

Since I said nothing, Orihime continued.

"Oh, I'm sure it comes so easy for you. Sucking out the souls of humans for food." She said sarcastically. Now I react.

"There are other ways, and you know that. You can live off weaker hollows and control your hunger." I growl. Not only was the coffee wearing off and leaving me drained, she was giving me a head ache with her yelling. I wonder if Ichigo and Urahara will be mad at me for even mentioning this subject.

Turning her back on me, Orihime scrubs her dishes furiously in the sink.

"I can't do that either."

"Why?" I ask, trying to keep calm. "You've killed hollows before."

Her hands stopped there washing. "No. I haven't. I purified hollows. Now I can't even do that anymore. My Rikka don't obey me anymore. All I can do is… eat them, or absorb them for food. They're still people Grimmjow." She turned back around, no longer mad. "I would just be killing them… they would never find peace."

I stand there, not knowing what to say. She never told me she can't use her Shun-shun Rikka anymore.

Tears still streamed down her cheeks. Without thinking, I opened my arms towards her, and she obediently came to me in comfort. I hugged her to my chest, and lay my cheek on her head.

"Do… do you think they don't like me anymore? Ever since I came to the world of the living, they stopped coming to me. I can still feel them there, but…" Orihime broke off sobbing.

She was shaking. Picking Orihime up, I carried her to her room, switching off lights on my way.

"Shh. It's okay Orihime." She continued to sob into my chest. 'Man, she has it hard.'

"Gr- Grimm... Grimmjow, I'm… s-sorry." I laughed and sat down on her bed, turning off the lamp. She cuddled into my lap like a puppy, still crying, but not as hard.

"There isn't anything to be sorry about." I said gruffly in the dark. Absent minded I pet her head and didn't even notice she stopped crying until she moved and kissed me unexpectedly. (Not that I complained.)

I was instantly aware of how close we where, and once again my desire burst through me, hotter than ever. She seemed to feel it too.

"Orihime…" I pulled back and she sighed a questioning sigh. "You know I love you, right?"

From the dim light seeping from the crack in he curtains, I saw her brows knit together. "Of course." I smiled. "That's all I need to hear."

My hands trailed her body, and she finally got my meaning. Wrapping her hands around my neck and into my hair, she kissed me softly. That was not working. Crushing my lips against hers, I felt her smile against them. He hands, ever so hesitant went up my shirts and rested against my chest. One hand tangled itself in her hair, holding her close to me, the other rested on Orihime's thigh.

Tonight I would finally take her, and she would be mine. The night was lost in passion and love.

A crack of sunlight streamed across my face, and I groaned, waking up. "Fucking sun…." I muttered.

Orihime muttered something, lying on my chest. I think it was "We have school today Grimmjow…" She sighed and opened her eyes, looking up at me, a faint blush on her cheeks. "Your clothes are at Ichigo's?" She asked. I just grunted and sat up as she did. "You should go get your extra uniform." She said and yawned. I smiled and leaned over kissing her and ran a hand down her back. Orihime shivered. "See you at school." I said, grinning as I picked up my clothes, quickly pulling them on.

I guess I should, change, although these seemed fine, only a little wrinkled. Anyway, off to Kurosaki's house. With a final kiss goodbye, and a few laughs and giggles from Orihime, I parted. For the first time since I was turned into a hollow, I felt… whole.
