This is just a little thing I wrote, its two chapters, but I posted both at the same day. Ha. Sorry there are a lot of enters. :D

It's a little cheesy at the end, but so what! Grimmy is cute!

The first day of meeting you

*Orihime slowly walked down the halls of Hueco Mundo, to the breakfast room. Turning a corner, walking toward her, came Grimmjow Jeagerjaques.

* Having finished eating, he stood and left. There was nothing, he thought, to do today. No missions, no nothing. Sighing Grimmjow turned the corner into the hallway.

*He saw the little human girl walking towards him. Ignoring her, Grimmjow intended on walking right past.

*Without thinking, Orihime spoke as he walked by her. "Hello Grimmjow."He didn't look at her, he didn't slow, but Orihime did notice the hand closest to her twitch. She smiled to herself. This was only the second time she saw him. The first time was when she healed his arm about a week ago.

Figuring that didn't count as a real first meeting, Orihime counted this as the first meeting.

*'Hello Grimmjow… Hello Grimmjow…'

Damn, now he had her voice in his head echoing around over and over.

So annoying.

*She walked around exploring Hueco Mundo. Orihime was free to walk around Hueco Mundo as she wished, why not explore?

She was staying extra aware, not going to the halls (or near them for that matter) with someone's reiatsu there. She stopped when she felt a familiar one. Somewhere to the right she could sense Grimmjow Jeagerjaques.

Frowning, she sped up, hoping the reason her heart sped up was fear.

The second day of your voice

*Groaning, he rolled out of bed, literally. He was always the first to breakfast.

*Brushing her hair, Orihime looking in the mirror and sighed. She opened her door and peeked around.

"Coast is clear!" Orihime spoke to herself, and headed down to breakfast with a yawn.

*Of course arrancars didn't have to eat, but Grimmjow liked that taste of food. End of story.

He looked blankly into his cup of tea, before draining it with a sigh. Standing he glared at the arrancar servant that gathered his tray. Turning into the hall, Grimmjow walked stiffly down his normal route to his room.

*'There he is again… He's coming.' She wasn't in the same hall as yesterday, but it was close.

Stopping, she spoke.

"Good morning Grimmjow." Once again he ignored her. Once again she didn't care.

She was looking for it this time, and it came.

The muscles on the arm facing her involuntary twitched and tensed to her voice.

Grimmjow turned into another hall, leaving her alone. Perplexed, Orihime turned and sighed.

*Now he was sulking, and he knew it.

Her silky voice rumbled around his head like waves. He liked the way his name sounded on her lips, and He couldn't stand it.

"Fuck, just go away." He grumbled to himself as he sat down on his bed. Maybe tomorrow he would say something to her.

Grimmjow snorted.

*Very tired, Orihime plopped down on the couch in her room, face down.

'It's been only a week, and I'm already depressed…'

Silently, she began to cry.

*Grimmjow just came back from exterminating some hollows who where against Aizen, his orders.

There was no sun here, just a fake one, but everyone slept on the same schedule, except Stark, he slept all the time.

Most the arrancars where already asleep by now. Sighing, he cracked his knuckles. He stopped mid stride beside a room.

He could sense her inside, and for a second, he thought about going in.

With a snarl, Grimmjow kept walking as her face floated around his mind.

*Deep in sleep Orihime stirred.

She dreamt of a blue eyed panther roaming a snowy desert.

I saved you, on the third day

*Grumbling his ass off for no reason, Grimmjow walked out of the breakfast hall, chewing on a green apple, idly wondering where it came from. He studied it, and only looked up when he heard it.

"Good morning Grimmjow."

He looked up just in time to see her Orange hair wisp past him.

He turned slightly toward her retreating back.

" Mornin'."

She froze, and he walked away chuckling.

*She stood shocked and his chuckles faded away. Orihime defiantly wasn't expecting him to respond. Slowly, as if a bit reluctant, she smiled.

Orihime walked in the breakfast hall, ducking her head from the other arrancar looking at her, she picked a seat.

His voice echoed around her skull.

*As he lay down on his bed, throwing the apple core aside, Grimmjow smiled hugely.

He liked her reaction today. She looked like she wasn't expecting him to answer. Still chuckling, Grimmjow took his sword out of his sash and set it on the bed next to him.

Sighing, he closed his eyes.

*Orihime left the hall, bowing to a servant that collected her tray of food. She was deep in thought and didn't notice two arrancar's get up and follow.

*Silently, Grimmjow let his thoughts wonder.

"Man… I wonder what that prick Ulquiorra is doing… "He searched around for his spiritual pressure, and found it faint; he was in the world of the living for some reason.

"He's always on missions…"

Yawning, Grimmjow thought out loud some more.

"Ulquiorra… he was supposed to watch out for Orihime…" There where no doubt arrancar that would not think twice of harming her, so Aizen told him to keep her safe. He also knew that if she didn't show at the dinning hall for a meal, the servants reported it to Ulquiorra.

If he was gone… who would watch her?

Lazily, he found her, somewhere to the east. He frowned. She was being followed…

"Those fucking bitches…" Not caring for his sword, Grimmjow got up and left.

*Peeking in open rooms, she hummed quietly to herself. Orihime was being careless; she wasn't paying attention to the people around her.

Following a hall that seemed to curve in a circle, she found her self facing a dead end. Turning, Orihime found herself staring at two arrancars leaning against the curved walls.

'Oh no...' Silently she whimpered to her self. Orihime could tell be the looks on their faces they meant trouble.

"Orihime-Chan! What are you doing all alone?" The black haired arrancar said in a mocking sing-song voice.

Stepping forward, the blond spoke up.

"I don't know Lolli…" She said in a hesitant voice, she didn't want to mess with Aizen's little pet.

Lolli glared at the other arrancar and took a step forward.

Orihime backed up until her back hit the wall; Lolli stepped forward until she was leering in her face.

"A little human like you could get hurt wandering alone…"

*Turing a corner, Grimmjow sneered. He was close now. He didn't even know why he wanted to protect her from the two arrancars. He didn't give a rat's ass about Orihime. He growled.

'This all happened when she spoke to me. Fucking woman.' She didn't utter one word when he first met her, when she healed his arm.

Grimmjow didn't even think about her for the following week, not until she spoke to him… now she wouldn't leave him alone.

Now he wanted nothing less than to beat the shit out of anyone who touched her, hell, he didn't even like her and wanted to protect her.

Finally, he started down a narrow hall that blacked the end of it with its curved structure. He knew she was there. He could sense her.

There was little light in the tunnel, but as they came into view, Grimmjow could see everything in perfect detail.

Orihime was slumped on the floor, coughing up ether blood, vomit, or both.

Melony stood off to the side, calmly watching as Lolli kicked Orihime in the stomach, turning her on her back.

Grimmjow spoke coldly.

"Are ya' really that jealous?" Instantly they both spun at his voice.

"G…Grimmjow!"

He couldn't help but smile wickedly. Taking a step forward, Grimmjow spoke. "I was just passing by… looks like you're having fun, aren't ya'?"

"What do you want Grimmjow?" Lolli's voice wavered as her fear broke in her voice.

Raising a hand, the girls flinched.

"What do I want?"

*She saw him raise his hand. "What do I want?"

Turning her head, Orihime coughed up a scary amount of blood. When the girl kicked her, something broke. It hurt.

She was having trouble breathing. Grimmjow walked forward, and his voice lost that mocking tone, it turned cold and dangerous.

"Beat it. Both of you. You know Aizen said not to harm this girl. He needs her power."

"H-how dare yo-" Without a word he promptly backhanded Melony into the wall, causing chunks to fall.

"MELONY! You bastard!" She made a lunge toward Grimmjow, with a sinister smile, he drove his hand threw her stomach.

Orihime whimpered, not because of the pain, but because of the sight she saw. With an almost graceful move, Grimmjow kicked the girl away from him. Lolli lay panting on the ground, close to death.

Orihime looked over.

'No… she can't die just for bulling me… It's not right…'

Gasping and sputtering, Orihime tried to stand; she would have collapsed if two strong hands didn't twist around her waist.

His voice didn't get any softer, his face didn't change but he held her… almost gently?

"Hey, can you hear me? Heal yourself, you can right?"

Orihime didn't nod or answer, but raised her hand to her head. Her shun-shun Rikka covered her in a soft glow.

Almost instantly, Orihime took a deep breath. A sharp pain lasted only a second as her rib moved back into place.

Her head cleared and Orihime sighed.

*Slowly he let her stand. She looked on the verge of tears as she survived the scene. Both girls weren't dead, but they would be soon, Lolli was openly bleeding all over the place, and Melony was half stuck in the wall, her arm completely shattered.

"I suggest you get goin' to your room. They'll die soon anyway."

He shrugged and smiled slightly. Holding out her hand, her Rikka went to the girls.

This irritated Grimmjow, but he just sighed.

"You're too nice for your own good." She pried Melony out of the wall and gently lay her down, passed out but healed.

Grimmjow turned from them all, "Be more aware of your surroundings, or at least defend yourself. Aizen needs that little power of yours"

"I'm sorry…" She muttered.

He looked over his shoulder calmly but didn't stop walking.

"Che, for what? I told ya', I was just passing. I saw you back here as I walked by. I figured you would let them beat you to an inch of death, so I intervened. Next time I'll just let it happen."

Okay, no he wouldn't, but he defiantly didn't want Orihime to start to feel safe around him, or start to… trust him.

Walking around the curve, he thought he heard a faint whisper.

"Thank you…"

*Orihime left the unconscious girls behind in the hall and quickly sped down the halls to her room.

She didn't think she would leave for lunch or dinner. Ulquiorra wouldn't like that.

Closing the stone door behind her, Orihime leaned against it, and fell to the floor. Hugging her knees to her chest, Orihime began to cry.

Sob after silent sob racked her body. She began to take calming breaths.

'I have to be strong...'

Wiping her face, Orihime composed herself, and started to think clearly.

"Oh Tatsuki," She spoke out loud to herself. "I miss you…" Faces from her old life flashed in front of her eyes.

She blinked away more tears.

Smiling a sad smile, Orihime thought of Grimmjow. He had been brutal today, but wasn't it to save her? Did that really matter?

With a start, she realized something. That tunnel was curved at such an angle that you wouldn't be able to see the end as you passed by.

Why had Grimmjow lied? Why was he over there in the first place…?

*He'd done nothing all day, and now he was fucking bored. The only interesting thing that happened today was when he beat those girls, and that was in the morning.

Now it was late, and almost everyone slept.

'Fuck…' Grimmjow got up and left his room, purposely going to hers.

Leaning against the wall beside her door, he cocked his head.

'Nothing…' Closing his eyes, Grimmjow focused on her spirit energy.

He stood there for awhile, ten minutes at most, just concentrating on her.

He wanted to go in… Leaning his head against the wall, Grimmjow opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling.

With a growl, he went with his better judgment and left.

A little bubble of serenity on the fourth day

*Yawning, Orihime stood and stretched like a cat.

"Man! I'm hungry!" Quickly going threw her morning routine; Shower, teeth, clothes, hair, Orihime sighed, and opened her door. Peeking out, she surveyed the hallway. Deciding it was safe, Orihime briskly walked away.

*Grimmjow left breakfast early, and started walking down his usually route down to his room. Only now did he realize it passed Orihime's room. 'Huh no wonder I see her.'

*Just three halls away, he turned a corner just as she did the opposite end.

Orihime looked scared and bowed low.

"Good morning Grimmjow!"

He lifted an eyebrow.

"Mornin' " He said slowly, like he was debating on it. She rose slowly, not meeting his eyes.

"What's with the bowing?"

"Huh?" Finally she met his eyes. "You're a... Espada right? Am I not supposed to bow?"

He smiled, showing just a hint of gum and his canine teeth.

"You've never before." Orihime started to fidget.

His smile got bigger across the hall. He was teasing her, she could tell.

"Don't fidget; it makes you seem less confident. Let them see your…" He paused "big eyes."

Startled, Orihime looked up.

"Ah…" What was she supposed to say to that? Grimmjow stepped forward a couple paces, and Orihime fidgeted even more.

A strong hand gripped her chin lightly, and pulled it up, so she was facing him.

"There. Go eat."

Smiling a little smirk that reminded Orihime of the Cheshire cat, Grimmjow strode off.

She didn't move for quite awhile. Once again, he surprised her.

She shook her head back and forth. Orihime could still feel his hand.

*Grimmjow sat in front of her door; his head leaned back, staring intently at the ceiling.

'She's asleep…' Closing his eyes, he banged his head lightly on the door.

"I am such an idiot..." Slowly sliding up the wall, Grimmjow stood and quietly opened the door.

Orihime lay on the couch, silently sleeping. Stealthily, Grimmjow shut the door and leaned against the wall across the room, watching her sleep.

*She dreamt, deep in sleep. Orihime smiled to herself, and laughed up at the pink sky. The sun was setting.

Wearing her favorite white dress from back home, Orihime twirled until she fell down giggling.

The grass was so soft. Her orange hair sprawled about her. Upon hearing a soft roar, she looked to her left. Slowly approaching, a snowy white panther walked up to her.

His blue eyes shined brilliantly in the setting sun. Orihime giggled as her licked her cheek. Sitting up, she hugged him. The cat grumbled sulkily and Orihime laughed.

*'How long have I been here?' Grimmjow knew she might wake up any moment, but he didn't want to leave. Orihime looked like an angel when she slept.

Just as he watched her, it was like everything else faded away. A little bubble of serenity.

Sighing, Grimmjow stood, walking to the door, but before he opened it, his gaze flicked back to the sleeping girl.

Slowly he shook his head and glared at nothing in particular as he left.

Five days of dreams

*Orihime left for breakfast early, thinking about nothing particular at all.

Ulquiorra came back from wherever he left to, and got frustrated with her skipping two meals the other day.

Turning a corner, Orihime felt like she ran into a boulder. Reeling back with a yelp, Orihime would have fallen if a strong arm didn't grab her wrist.

"Yeah, you should watch where you're going, it helps with walking."

Her hand went to her nose, and she looked up at a scowling but smiling Grimmjow.

At first she thought his smile was scary, but now Orihime didn't mind.

"Good morning Grimmjow." Although she was still holding her nose, so what really came out sounded more like, "Goof mornin' Grimmjow."

He let her go. "Your not bleeding are ya'?" Orihime shook her head.

With a smile, and a wave Grimmjow walked around her. "Try not to fall too much today."

He disappeared while Orihime tried to think if she was just insulted or not.

*Grimmjow stopped by his room to pick up his sword when he started to think about lunch.

Usually he didn't go; he only attended dinner and breakfast, both too early.

Shaking his head, Grimmjow wondered if he should stop going so early, to catch her while she's eating.

On the rare occasions he did, it was also too early for anyone to be there.

Sighing, Grimmjow cracked his neck.

'Stupid little girl…'

*She wasn't that hungry, but Ulquiorra would definitely be unhappy if she missed any more meals, so Orihime headed out to lunch.

She couldn't hold back a little giggle as she thought about that. Ulquiorra was always unhappy.

No one was really there when Orihime entered. She sat down and a servant set down a tray for her. The same meal everyday, rice, dumplings, soup and tea.

Ignoring the food, Orihime sipped at the tea humming a song to her favorite anime.

*Grimmjow just walked in, looking at the array of tables. Although the chairs where smaller and the tables shorter, they resembled the table in the Espada conference room.

When his eyes settled on her, he grumbled. Walking across the room, Grimmjow stood across from her, his hand resting on the chair sitting there.

Not looking up from her tea, she smiled.

"I didn't think you ate lunch Grimmjow." He rubbed his jaw and pulled the chair back. "Hey, you," He pointed at a servant. "Get me some fish and a rice bowl." She instantly scurried off.

"Of course I eat lunch, sometimes. I usually come earlier. I always come too early for meals." She seemed in a serene mood, calm and peaceful.

The servant came back then, setting down Grimmjow's food and silverware. She practically ran away.

"They're scared of you." Orihime noted.

He nodded and took a bite of food. "The servants are the weak arrancars, too weak even to split there power into a zanpaktou. Many of the higher arrancar kill them for fun."

She looked shocked for a second. "That's so cruel." Grimmjow shrugged. "I have better things to do with my time than kill them." That was not completely true, Grimmjow did almost nothing with his spare time, but he didn't kill the servants, unless they bugged him.

Better not mention that though…

*She thought of nothing in particular, just watched the steam waft up from her tea.

"Grimmjow?" He grunted. There was food in his mouth. She didn't say anything, and he looked up, the reaction she wanted.

His eyes. The sapphire blue eyes she remembered so vividly from her dreams, but then, they where not the eyes of a man, but an animal.

He swallowed. "What?"

"Your eyes… look like the eyes of an animal." He narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking she insulted him, so she went on. "A majestic animal… a sweet one, but powerful and cruel, when he wants to be." She smiled. 'What am I saying?'

He looked thrown off by her, so she laughed slightly, trying to lighten the mood.

"Sorry, I just... uh… never mind."

*He didn't say anything for awhile, and ate in silence. She didn't bother him. An animal… Grimmjow was an animal, he knew that. A powerful cruel one, but sweet and majestic? No, not at all.

He looked up as Orihime stood. "I'm sorry Grimmjow, but I'm leaving now." She smiled and waved stupidly, suddenly happy again.

Taking a few steps away, she stopped and cocked her head to the side. "Grimmjow, why do you come to your meals so early?"

He stared at her back for a second. Such a stupid question. "No one's ever there early. I don't like people. "

"Do you like me?" She looked over her shoulder and he studied her for a second. "No" He couldn't help but smile. It was a lie of course, Grimmjow liked her very much.

She smiled. "That's okay, I don't like you ether." With that, she walked away.

*"That's okay, I don't like you ether." It was a lie, of course, Orihime liked him very much.

*Grimmjow fell onto his bed. "What would she have said… if I told her yes?" Slowly, he closed his eyes, and smiled.

YAY! One more chapter. :)
