Raven: Thank you all for reviewing!

Ulquiorra: She's been going nuts about it all day.

Raven: Awww don't be such a party pooper!

Ulquiorra: -_-

Raven: I own nothing! Onto the story!

Ichigo came back into Rose's room to find her on the floor sleeping. She hadn't touched her food. Ichigo sighed and picked her up, surprised at how light she was. He carefully set her down on the bed and looked at her.

Wow... she really is pretty... He thought touching her face. She mumbled something and turned to her right, facing Ichigo. Ichigo looked at her one more time before gently pressing his lips against hers. Ichigo blushed and quickly exited the room, closing the door quietly.

"Nice goin bro", Shiro said waiting outside the room. Ichigo scowled and turned away walking towards the room they had to share.

"Fuck off", Ichigo said entering the room.

"You're missing couple little details though. One, I like her to man. Two, she lives with us so she's already uncomfortable. And three, she hates our guts", Shiro said, emphasizing guts. Ichigo sighed again and nodded.

"I know but she doesn't have to know we like her."

"Wake up", a voice commanded Rose.

"Mmmmm not nowwww.", she groaned, rolling to her side.

"We're going to be late for school"

"So? You guys aren't walking with me."

"..."

Rose got up to find herself millimeters away from Shiro. She scowled and got off the bed, going out of the room into the bathroom.

"Are you German?", Shiro asked from the outside of the door.

"Half."

"Huh?"

"Do you not understand the meaning of half?", Rose yelled from behind the door rinsing her face before stepping out, "I am half German.", she said scowling even more and walking back to her room to get her uniform to wear.

"Oooooh cool. Which side?", Shiro asked leaning by the doorway.

"Why do you care?", Rose said, stopping in front of the towering man. Jesus he was tall.

"Just wondering."

"Can you please move?"

"Not until you answer my question"

"Fine.", and with that, Rose kicked Shiro. In the balls. Shiro sunk to the floor gripping his private area. Rose walked on, proud that she could finally pay the bastard back. She locked the door and undressed while Shiro streamed cuss words at her from the outside.

Rose turned on the water and closed her eyes, letting the water slowly drench her before cleaning herself fully.

Rose walked out of the house, trying to keep as far from Shiro and Ichigo.

"Rose! Come back and eat breakfast!", Ichigo yelled, waving a muffin in the air. This only encouraged Rose to walk quicker. Her stomach was not feeling good.

It's my fault nii-san died, she thought, how am I just supposed to eat like that?

Rose finally made it to the school and opened the door. She seriously wanted to cry. Everything reminded her of Ulquiorra. She dropped her hands from the doors and trudged her way to her locker. She sighed and rested her head against it.

What's the point of living now? She asked herself, feeling tears come to her eyes.

" Hime, there's a lot to live for.", a voice said from behind her. Rose turned around already knowing who it was.

"Hey Grimm...", she trailed off.

"You have a lot to live for Hime. You can get a boyfriend, get married and have kids!", He said trying to cheer her up.

"But nii-san...", Rose said, feeling a tear come down her cheek. Grimmjow wiped it away and smiled.

"From this point on if you, Rose Schiffer, cries. I personally will tickle it out of you.", Grimmjow said smiling. This girl was like another little sister to him. Nel, his real sister, was Rose's best friend. They did everything together. Grimmjow had actually begged Byakuya if they could take Rose in, but no was his answer. Nel couldn't find the Kurosaki household though she tried really hard to find it and tihs truly pissed Grimmjow off. Where the hell was this house?

Rose sniffed and wiped her eyes, trying to smile, but got nowhere. More tears fell down her eyes as she hugged Grimmjow, trying to hide her red, wet face away from the people passing by. She cried until Grimmjow pulled her back.

"See what y'av done? Ya got my shirt all wet! Now get off!", Grimmjow said lightly pulling Rose away. She still wouldn't let go though, hiding her face in Grimmjow's shirt.

In the middle of it all, her tummy growled.

Grimmjow frowned.

"You didn't eat did you"

"ummmm.", Rose paused looking down.

"Well, now you are.", Grimmjow said, hoisting Rose above his shoulder.

"H-hey!",Was all Rose could say before they were in the Cafeteria.

Grimmjow bought a breakfast meal that included an fruit, milk, and some french toast sticks. Grimmjow lifted a french toast to Rose's mouth and pushed it against her lips. Rose shook her head.

"Listen Rose! Would Ulquiorra want you starving yourself?"

Rose shook her head.

"Then open your mouth!"

Rose reluctantly opened her mouth and bit into the food Grimmjow put there. Finally, she finished eating everything. Grimmjow looked at her and smiled.

"See that wasn't so bad was it?", Grimmjow asked patting Rose's head. Rose shook her head but scowled.

"I'm gonna be late for first period bastard...", Rose said smiling, punching Grimmjow lightly on the arm. She walked and waved good bye to him.

"You can come out now boys", Grimmjow said smirking. Ichigo and Shiro slowly appeared out of the corner of the cafeteria, their eyes wide with shock.

"How-"

"Years of practice, boys. Years of practice."

"What do you mean?" Ichigo asked, cocking his head to the side.

"Well, after Rukio, Laura, and Kaien died, Ulquiorra started working. I had to babysit that brat. Forced her to eat.", Grimmjow said shrugging.

"Who're Rukio, Laura, and Kaien?", Shiro asked.

"Well...Rukio was her 's German. Laura was her mom. Japanese. And Kaien was the eldest brother. He was in the same grade as Jaque, my older brother."

The Kurosaki twins stared up at Grimmjow in surprise. Rose's whole family was dead? They had never seen Rose's parents and didn't even know she had an older brother (other than Ulquiorra of course).

Their mother had died when they had been much younger. But this? This was much worse. Rose's entire family was dead.

After School:

"Hey Rose!", Ichigo called out, seeing her at her locker.

"Hm?"

"Let's walk home together."

"No."

"That's great l- wait no?"

"Can't."

"Why?"

"Got work! Now if you'll stop minding my business I'll be on my way."

Ichigo pouted. He wanted to make up for all the teasing he had done to her but she was being seriously difficult. He watched as Rose ran down the hallway and out the door to her job. He sighed once again before walking out of the building himself to go home.

Rose made her way to work while she just thought of what happened. Why did he want to walk home with me? she wondered walking into the shop.

"Oh. Rose dear. Hello. Are you sure you want to work today?", Miaharo (Rose's boss) asked. The old lady was very kind and Rose felt like she was a mother to her.

"Of course, Miaharo-san. I'm fine", Rose lied putting on the fake smile she had held up the entire day.

"If you say so dear.", Miaharo replied smiling.

Rose got to work, taking orders from table to table.

"Hello what can I get y- SHIRO?", Rose gaped, her jaw nearly dropping to the ground. What was Shiro doing here? This was an old restaurant that very very few young people went to. Nel barely came in herself. (A/N: Nel is Grimmjow's younger sister. Same age as Rose).

"Why hello there.", Shiro said smiling from ear to ear.

"What are you doing here", Rose hissed.

"My my. Is that how you trat a paying customer?"

Rose growled but did her job.

"W-What can I get for you s-sir?", She asked, her left eye twitching.

"Well, I am here to pick you up."

"Excuse me?"

"Well let's go!", Shiro said pulling her hand.

"But-"

"Miaharo-san, Rose will be leavin early ta'day!", Shiro said dragging Rose out the door.

"Okay. That's fine dear. Have a nice night", Miaharo said smiling and waving the two off.

"Why'd you take me out of work?"

"It's not safe for a little girl to walk home alone at night", Shiro said pulling Rose on.

"First of all, I am not a 'little girl'. And two, I don't need to be escorted home. Especially from the likes of you! How am I supposed to know you aren't taking me down an ally to rape me?", Rose yelled.

"Well, if I was gonna rape ya, ya'd already be raped.", Shiro said, getting to the door. He opened it and walked inside, pulling Rose inside to. Rose sighed. This man was so weird. She walked up to her room and shut the door, laying on her bed. She closed her eyes eventually falling asleep.

What has gotten into those two?, she mused internally. She got onto her computer and sighed, checking her email. One was from... oh my gosh. It couldn't be.

RENJI?

Those two hadn't talked in ages. Renji had been transferred to a private school after getting into a fight and the public high school Rose went to now.

She opened the email, awaiting what was inside.

Yo Rose! Haven't talked to you in a while! My winter break's tomorrow so how 'bout we hang out? How's Ulquiorra?

See ya tomorrow!

~Renji =3

Rose gaped. Renji was coming tomorrow? She was so exited.

How's Ulquiorra?

Rose sighed. She'd have to explain. She sniffled once and lay her head down onto her pillow, letting sleep take over for the night.

Raven: *air pumps* DONE 0_0

Ulquiorra: I do not see why you must be so excited about petty things such as this.

Rose: Awww don't be a so stiff Ulqui nii-san!

Raven: ROSE! *hugs Rose*

Rose: Can't BREATHE

Raven; *lets go* sorry. Please review and stay tuned for the next chapter.

Ulqui&Rose&Raven: THANK YOU 3 3
