Sorry guys!!! It's been a long while since I updated. It's just that I'm trying to update my artwork I put up in site. I also got hooked on these RP worlds I'm part of but now it's been really slow today so I thought I catch up on this story.

So anyway here's the long awaited chapter 13!!!!XD

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Bleach!!!!

Ikkaku stared at me for a long while and I was wondering with the tumbleweeds were going to roll by, "You're joking right?" Ikkaku finally said.

I shook my head and Ikkaku groaned, "Are you kidding me?! You can not be IN LOVE with Inoue!" He semi shouted while holding his head. "That's crazy man!"

"I know," I muttered and stuff my hand in my pocket (my right arm is in a sling remember?) "But I don't know what this is feeling I've been having lately….I never felt like this before…."

"Oh God! Don't get all fucking emotional and romantic on me bro!" Ikkaku said in disgust and I glared at him.

"Shut the fuck up!" I snapped and he looked better.

"Now that's the Grim I know." Ikkaku crossed his arms and looked at me. "So how does she make you feel different from other girls you know? Didn't you used to date a lot in Junior High?"

"Yeah but the girls I've been with are nothing like Orihime."

Ikkaku stared at me in shock. "So now you guys are on first name bases? Good God you two only knew each other for no more than three days!"

"Well she calls me Grimmjow."

"Everyone calls you Grimmjow but she uses honorifics."

"So?"

Ikkaku signs and rubs his clean shaven head. "This can't be good. Your job is to project her right?"

"Huh? What's that got to do with it?"

"You need to focus on protecting her not falling in love with her."

"I didn't plan for this! And I didn't want to become her body guard in the first place!" I snapped and looked away. This is so messed up. So many things were happening and I wasn't in control.

"Okay maybe this is really a crush you know they're often mistaken as real love. Did you fall in 'love' with her at first sight?"

I snorted, "I don't believe in love at first sight crap. At first I was just attracted to her I mean who wouldn't with her looks but I didn't plan on chasing after her. She wasn't my type."

"What is your type anyway?" Ikkaku asked.

"A woman who's strong and tough, not a girly girl someone who wouldn't be afraid to get her hands dirty and of course good looking."

Ikkaku listen to me and nodded, "Yeah except for the last part that is nothing like Inoue." He looked at me with some hope. "So maybe you only like her for just her looks?"

I shook my head, "It's more than that. I feel very happy when I see her smile and hear her laugh. And when she's sad it beats me up inside especially when it has something to do with me. And during that time when someone was shooting at us and I saw how sacred she looked I decided at that time I wanted to protect her." I looked back at Ikkaku and he gave a weird and amazed stare.

"Dude I didn't know you had a deep side. This woman got you going huh?" I didn't reply and found the floor very interesting at the moment. I heard Ikkaku chuckled and punched him with my good arm.

"Attention everyone!!! The Hollows will be performing in five minutes!" A voice on the intercom echoed.

I immediately perked up, "I am not missing this!" I ran out of the restroom with Ikkaku following behind.

I ran over to the dance floor as the Hollows entered the stage. The band members were dressed in white and black with broken skull masks concealing parts of their faces. I yelled and cheer along with everyone as the lead guitarist started to play. As the music grew louder I remember with a cringed I was supposed to look after Orihime. I moved through the throng as they sway to the music. I craned my neck and look for a familiar red head or brunette. I saw Orihime jumping up and down and waving her arms madly. Looking at her I laughed out loud. There was no way anyone could hear me with all the nose but Orihime turned to look at me and smiled. And right on cue I felt heat radiating from my face, crap get it together man!

"Hey!" Orihime shouted, weaving through people to get to me. She was knocked over again and fell right into my arms uh arm.

"You alright?" I asked her. She looked up at me and again I was taken aback by how close her face was to mine. I mentally slapped myself. Focus!!!

"Yes I am thanks" Orihime said smiling up at me. And I sucked in my breath and nodded, "Good where's Arisawa?"

"She was right next to me." We look around and didn't find her around. I figure she must be at our private booth. "Come on," I said to Orihime and took of her hand in mine. I lead us out of the dance floor we almost made it to our booth then I felt the hair on the back of my neck stood on end. There goes my Spidey Senses again. I stopped and Orihime almost bumped into me. "What's wrong Grimmjow-san?" Orihime asked me.

I didn't answer but looked around sharply. Then I saw two pairs of eyes staring at us from the shadows; one bright green and one brown. They stepped out of the shadows and one of them I recognized as Ulquiorra from school and the other was a tall guy with brown hair brushed back with one lock falling over his forehead and he had a kind fatherly smile but for some reason it irked me.

"Good evening Inoue-sama," The man addressed Orihime bowing in a respectfully and gentlemanly fashion. The said woman bowed back. "G-good evening, Aizen-sama."

Aizen? Where have I heard that name before? I looked at him and he smiled at me and well for some reason I decided I didn't like him. There was something about that smile that didn't set right with me.

"You must be Grimmjow Jaegerjaguez." The man called Aizen said to me. "You're the talk of the town."

"I am?" I said raising an eyebrow.

"Well in the under ground if you know what I mean." He smiled knowingly at me and then it hit me. He knew about me and the Yakuza. Didn't Ikkaku say he and Yamamoto knew each other?

"I hope you two are enjoying yourselves? Is this a date?" He smiled widely at that last part but to me it seem to be forced.

I quickly shook my head. "No. Arisawa's with us."

"Ah she is isn't she? So is it a three way fling?" He smiled again and I wanted to fuckin' smack him!

"Like I said NO, and why do you think it's a date?" I said caustically. Aizen raised an eyebrow and thank God didn't freakin' smile again!

"Your holding hands aren't you?"

I blinked and looked down and saw that I was still holding hands with Orihime. I quickly let go and stuff my hand in my pocket.

"Aizen-sama are you still going to the party next week?" Orihime asked him. I wasn't sure she was following the conversation we were having.

Aizen looked at her and smiled and I could feel myself getting real pissed off for some reason. I don't know the way he was looking at her made my blood boil.

"Yes I plan on attending," Aizen replied. "I hope I will see you there."

Orihime nodded, "Oji-san said that he wanted me to go. He said he wanted me to introduce me to the others properly."

"I see," Aizen nodded and looked at me again. "Are you going to the party as well Grimmjow?"

"What party?" I asked blankly.

"Oh forgive me I forgot that your new to the 'family'," He said, "The party is for people who know about our true business." Meaning the criminal business duh. "It would be a good idea if you come. You can meet the others and learn how we work."

I slowly nodded, "Uh yeah sure. Come on woman Arisawa's waiting." I was about to turned to leave but stop and saw how Mr. Emo Poker Face was looking at me. He was giving me a sharp look like he was silently ordering me to show some respect to the man. I fought the urge to roll my eyes, turned around and bowed at Aizen. "It was nice meeting you sir." I said tonelessly.

Aizen nodded and smiled, "Like wise, Grimmjow." He looked at Orihime and said with that smile that made me think of pedophiles and other nasty predators. "I hope you'll have fun tonight, Inoue-sama."

Orihime smiled back and nodded, "Thank you, Aizen-sama."

We finally went back to the private booth. Arisawa wasn't there though but our food was there waiting for us. I plopped down on the bench and pulled a deep fried onion and stuff into my mouth.

"Uh, Grimmjow-san you were rather rude to Aizen-sama." Orihime said.

"Well he kind of got under my skin." I said picking another onion.

"But you just met him."

I shrugged, "What's this party you guys were talking about? Is it some formal event?"

"Well it is you have to dress properly like suits and dresses. Most of the quests where traditional kimonos. This is the first time I'll be going after knowing the truth." Orihime grew quite and stirred the straw in her drink. I looked at her curiously, "The truth?"

Her gray eyes looked up at mine, "Just a few days ago I had no idea my family was the Yakuza let alone I was the heir." She smiled rather sadly.

I stared at her, "Really?" She nodded. "Why would they keep that from you until know?"

Orihime looked down again then looked up, "Well I was adopted by Yamamoto when I was three. And my brother Sora didn't want me to know until I was out of high school. Sora-nee was supposed to be the next heir ….but he died in a car accident a year ago."

I stared at her for a few moments and my left hand grasped her right hand that had been resting on the table between us. We looked at each other surprise; I was surprise because I did that without thinking. "Sorry," I said quickly and let go of her hand. I stared at the table and then I heard her say softly, "Thank you." I looked up at her and she had a gentle smile on her face.

There was silence as we stared at each other and it appeared the whole world had gone quiet. Then the moment was interrupted by Arisawa opening the door.

"Sorry guys, I got lost. It's been awhile since I was here and…" She stopped talking and stared at us.

"Um did I interrupt something?" Arisawa asked looking at Orihime then at me.

I looked at Orihime and she looked at me and then we looked at Arisawa, "No." We said at the same time.

"Oh," was all Arisawa said and looked a little disappointed.

NORMAL POV

"Aizen-sama what do you think of Hime-sama's new Guardian?" Ulquiorra asked his superior when they were in the private observation room that looked over at the concert taking place.

"He appears to be a strong and fiery temper fellow like a certain young man I know." Aizen said as he leans back in his chair looking at the window.

"Do you think he will be a threat to your plans sir?"

"Hm I don't know yet, he seems to be a very rebellious type. Perhaps I could use that to my advantage." The dark haired man smiled to himself and gazed out the window as the audience cheered for an encore.

That's it for now. I hope it was good enough. BTW Grimmjow isn't sure if he's really in love with Orihime he says he think he is.

So anyway Please review or I will be agonizing slow XP

Thank you for reading ^_^
