Wow, it's been awhile since I've written something. weird... Anyway, I hope you like this, all my other stories are currently under wrap, but hopefully I start those up again.

Once again, I do not own this series and anything written is pure fiction.


Chapter 1

"Mistress... mistress... MISTRESS NOT AGAIN!" I could hear my poor butler yell angrily as my feet landed against the soft, damp ground.

"Shoot. I'm already caught, and I haven't even made it past the garden. Maybe I can run..." I sighed bitterly as my feet continued to follow through my already botched plan.

Half-hidden amongst the red rose bushes, I silently tip-toed until I could make out the almost unreal pathway to the main road. A feeling of excitment rushed through my veins as it came closer and closer into view. It almost felt to good to be true-

"Princess! Come out, come out wherever you are!" I could hear him say, chuckling as he started running over bushes and the small, running creek behind me.

"Crap!" I screamed and laughed, as the cold sweat of defeat ran down my neck and back.

My footsteps slowly came to a halt, and my body naturally waited for him to pick me up and carry me all the way back to the house. Which did happen, I must say, and not very gently.

"Found you Primrose!" He laughed wholeheartedly, his shoulders shaking as he gently picked me up like a feather in the wind.

"The name's Ayu, and you know it Grimmjow!" I sighed tiredly, wipping my eyes so I could stay awake and not fall asleep even though school was about thirty minutes away.

"I know you want to keep that, but you weren't born with it first." He sighed, pushing that electric blue hair that I had known since forever out of his face, so his matching sky-blue eyes could laugh at me.

"Ayuko." He winked at me, making his eyes sparkle for some ungodly reason in the early morning light.

I had to look away, the fear of letting him see my bright red blush with that smug look on his face terrified me. Plus, he was just too much for me to handle in the morning, with his overly-happy emotions since his birthday was soon... Plus the fact he was happy for my birthday as well. The day my parents named me with the most western name of them all...

Primrose Ayuko. The name, Ayuko, comes from my mother, while Primrose comes from my father of all people. At school, no one ever calls me Primrose, except Grimm, Ulqui, and my best friend Daiya. Well... Prim comes close, but everyone else calls me Ayu or Ayuko.

It doesn't matter, they know better than to say my full name in front of me...

I think...


"Ayuko, why must you run this early in the morning?" Ulquiorra sighed angrily, walking back and forth behind my back and trying to clean the kitchen at the same time he was lecturing me.

My head was down, and I tried to avert my eyes away everytime he looked to me. Even after living with the same people for nearly my entire life, I was still unable to look Ulquiorra in the eyes. Especially when he was angry, and not in the best of moods (which was everyday). He had his soft moments, most of them happened when I was younger, but every now and then he would smile.

But other times he was down right scary as hell.

"I'm sorry...I just didn't want to go by car today. Can't I walk like a normal person?" I asked Ulquiorra, looking up to him with my best try at puppy-dog eyes, which never really worked.

"Since when were you normal?" He said to me, ignoring my look, and nearly dropping my heavy schoolbag directly onto my face with no remorse what so ever.

I caught the bag just inches away from crushing my glasses into my eyeballs. A bittersweet sigh passed my lips as the words sunk deep withing myself, that jerkwad. I hate it when he told me that, but it was true... I was and will never be a normal person..

Because a normal person didn't have my kind of blood running through their veins. Like Grimmjow and Ulquiorra, I was a demon lost in a world full of humans, and tried my very hardest to stay "normal." But unlike my servants, I also had human blood running through my veins, which wasn't a normal thing in the demon world. So to put it bluntly, he was basically saying I could never be normal amongst humans nor amongst demons.

Not that it mattered to demons, because they liked "halfers" like me. Well... they liked my blood.

How did they know I was a halfer? Well, one: my smell is a lot diffrent, because of the sweet scent of human wafting with the spicy scent of demon. And B: If you let me hold any kind of flower in my hands, they will stay bright and fragrant as if it was on a bush. While others like Grimm, it would die instantly for the lack of "warmth" as my mother told me. And since people tended to notice, they have tried coming after me to take my blood and either drink it or sell it at very high costs.

But before that actually happens to me, Grimmjow and Ulquiorra were ordered to protect my life until my eighteenth birthday. And on that day, I will wed Grimmjow and everything will fall back into "normalcy..." Maybe.

If the number one enemy besides Class A demons come and decide to kill me. What's worse than a major-ranking demon?

Slayers.

I've never really met a slayer, or at least I don't remember. But from what I was told, Slayers were humans who spend their entire lives training just to kill people like me for no apparent reason. Unless there is a reason, but I think it's because of the rumour my father told me as a child. The rumour that a human girl fell in love with a demon, or was it the other way around?

I'm starting a tangent here, and I apologize. Now.. back to my life.

To put it more simply, as long as you did not mess with each other, then the other would not come after you and destroy you. Unless you mess with the wrong kind of person.

"Prim, it's time for school. Please don't be late this time." Ulquiorra scolded and urged at me as he walked behind the door to retrieve my lunch box for the day.

"Please can I walk this time? I will never try to do what I did today ever again!" I jumped out of my chair just as he returned with the still-warm box in his grasp.

I held his gaze with mine, hoping he would realize that I was serious and there was no way I was going to go by car. Yes, I hate to admit it, but I was acting like a child but with Ulquiorra, you kinda had to. As the clock ticked slowly, his gaze started getting weaker and weaker until he had to look away from me. Carefully choosing his words, he sighed in defeat and turned back to me.

"...Fine." He finally said, smiling a crooked smile at me with a sweet look in his eyes for once.

The most hugest grin appeared on my face as his words went through my head. I had won for once! My body started jumping up and down, and took me all the way to the door. Just as I grasped the door handle in my hand, Ulqui shouted to me,

"But Grimmjow must walk with you. And get you after school."

"What? NO." I shouted, turning back to glare evily at him, but he wasn't paying attention to me at all. Instead, he was re-polishing an already polished cabinet without a care in the world.

"Come on midget, it's time for school!" Grimmjow laughed into my ear as he lifted me off the ground and started carrying me out of the door. In his free hand, was my schoolbag, and a pair of gloves sticking from the pockets.

"This doesn't count Ulquiorra! I won't allow it!" I shouted angrily to Ulquiorra, but was staring at Grimmjow obviously so he would put me down.

But as I thought... he ignored me too.

"...Children." I heard Ulquiorra sigh in bittersweetness, and for once, I had to agree with him.


"Grimm...I'll see you later." I smiled warmly to him as he walked hand-in-hand with me all the way to the outside gate of my school.

"Of course Prim, behave yourself." He winked mischievously to me, as his fan-club awed at our closeness.

What made it even worse, was that he pulled me against his hard chest, and gripped under my chin so I was looking up to him. Without warning, he lightly kissed my lips, making the girls scream blood-murder at the two of us. I pulled away quickly, and glared up to him, arranging him to chuckle lightly at me and his fan-club.

"Kitty got claws." He whispered to me, as sort of a farewell I supposed as he started walking away back home.

He turned back to me, and waited until I caved in a waved goodbye to him from the gate. Grinning slightly, he waved back, turned on his heels, and walked away from my sight. Carefully, I made my way through the gate, when all of a sudden, his fan-club ambushed me and started throwing questions in all directions. Feeling panic rushing through my veins, I tried getting away, but failed as they started surrounding me and letting no escape come to mind. I nearly gave up if a hand hadn't grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of the crowd and into safety.

"Man. He knows how to pull a crowd together huh?" My very dearest friend Daiya Mushima laughed nervously, shaking her soft curls into the chilly winter air without breaking a sweat.

"Ha-ha yeah...Thanks Dai." I smiled to her as she and I tried calming ourselves down to the point of just being "chill."

"Well...come on! There's a new student transferring into our class!" She squealed with glee, pulling and tugging me harder as we arrived to the acutal school doors.

"Oh Dai, you're amazing." I laughed as we ran wildly to the lockers and then to our classrooms.

She started telling me everything about who was coming, but I couldn't help myself from gawking at how amazing she was. Daiya "Dai" Mushima was my oldest and closest friend since I moved from my world for safety reasons. Despite finding about what I really was when we were in elementary school, she has kept my secret to herself like she promised. Not that I was worried or anything, but it just proves how much she really does care about me.

And since she found out in second grade, that must mean she cares a lot.

And there was how amazingly pretty she was compared to others in the school. Those long, black curls came naturally to her, while to others, it would take hours for them to be perfect like hers. Even though he eyes were plain black, they were a shiny black that seemed to brightened up everytime she was with me.

Oh, plus how she was able to be so calm with others around her. Ever since middle school, she was chosen to be the class represenative each and every year. And with her saying, she made me her vice-captain as I liked to call myself. But that was something that I would've not put with myself.

Since I found humans annoying beyond annoying. Except for Daiya, she's an exception.

"Good morning everyone!" Dai greeted with our class, smiling with such pure giddiness that she seemed to glow like the sun against out dim classroom.

"Morning Daiya. Morning Ayu!" The entire class greeted just as whole-heartedly as Daiya, but not as bright.

"Morning to ya'll as well." I yawned softly, waving my hand in random directions to them. Some of my friends laughed, while others silently waved back to me.

Moving slowly, I barley made it to my seat when our homeroom and algebra teacher came in, Mr. Hakomo. He went to his desk, and like on cue, he waved for Dai and I to come over to him. At first, I banged my head against the desk, but Dai grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards the desk with a stern look in her eye. Many people in and out of our class though Mr. Hakomo was the greatest teacher in the world, especially when we were freshman.

Daiya was no exception to thinking he was cool. Me on the other hand, I though he was a creeper.

"Ayuko, Mushima, as you may have heard, we have a new student." Mr. Hakomo told us descretly, leaning in to us with his creepy eyes only looking at me.

I looked away, to see everyone whispering silently to one another. The girls were giggling, while the guys were betting on if the guy was going to take every girl in the class. Shifting my attention back to Hakomo, I saw he was explaining the student to Daiya in a low voice again. How he was acting irritated me, since everyone in the class already knew who was coming, he was still trying to keep it a secret. This was one of the reasons I found humans annoying as hell, but for Daiya's sake, I had to indure it with a plesant grin on my face.

"Well, I was hoping you could make sure he knows what were doing in class. I realize that school is almost over, but help him out the best he can please?"

Hakomo was now grasping his hands together, and looked at the two of us with puppy-eyes. My teeth started griting together, and I bit my tounge so I wouldn't yell,

"Then you baby him, cause I'm busy."

But, I shook the urge off with a small smile to him and a gentle look. I refused to speak, because I knew that I would say what I wanted to say. Plus, if Ulquiorra found out, he would hang me upside down for a month with fire underneath me.

"Sure. No problem sir." Dai answered for the both of us, gripping hand so she could make a note that I had to answer as well.

"Excellent! You girls are amazing!" Mr. Hakomo praised us, smiling his usual buisness-man smile with those creepy eyes.

"No worries." I replied finally, pulling Dai away from him so he couldn't take to us anymore.

As we sat down, Daiya glared disapprovingly, but she had a pleased smile on her face, so I could tell she wasn't all that mad at me. Grinning, we laughed together until Mr. Hakomo brought our attention to him.

"Ah-hem...Class..." He said loudly, quieting everyone to the point of an erie silence.

"We have a new transfer student. I realize that the school ends in half a year, but he has already caught up with everything up until now." He continued, as he walked to the door, and peered outside for the student.

While he was out, everyone started frantically talking in whispers, especially to Daiya. She tried her best to answer them but even she was flustered at the time. Ignoring everyone, I turned my attention the lovely winter weather and watched the clouds slowly move through the sky. The door closed, and everyone was hushed just by his presence, even Hakomo was silent at the moment.

"Please tell the class your name." I could hear Hakomo stutter slightly to the boy, who had yet started talking to the class.

Surprisingly, I found myself curious about this guy, but my boredom had a really strong hold on me that day. Until I heard an extremely unfamilar deep voice say to our class,

"My name is Ichigo Kurosaki. I'm almost seventeen, and I used to live here until about four years ago."

His voice alone brought my attention, but even if I had looked before, his hair would have forced me to stare at the boy. This guy was waaay taller than anyone I knew, besides Grimmjow. He had light sun-kissed skin that seemed to go well with that mass of bright orange hair on top of his head.

Again, I must point out... Orange. Hair.

Under that mass of hair, he had gentle brown eyes that looked to me with a passionate glare. A blush grew on my face as he continued to look only at me as he spoke about himself.

"I lived in a small town in the mountain surrounded by a forest for quite some time. So if I do anything crazy, blame the mountain air."

People laughed at his little bit, even I had to laugh softly at his words. But there wsa something about him that made him seem diffrent from others. Maybe it was the bright natural hair, maybe the fact he was a freaking giant compared to our 5"2 teacher. But the aura he emitted, kinda scared me a bit honestly, and he knew that somehow.

"Well...why don't you take the seat right in front of Ayuko...Ayuko? Please stand up." Mr. Hakomo called out to me, smiling at me as if this was what he was talking about earlier.

With a sigh and a sudden urge of confidence, I stood up and stared at him with my eyes until he arrived at his seat. Now that I think about it, he probably thought I was really short compared to him. But there was no way I was going to let him think I was like any normal girl, I was going to stand out in his mind. But obviously, I'm going to smile at him to let him know I wasn't a yankee* or anything, I just won't take crap from him.

He stood for a second, looking at me as I smiled to him, and with a small grin of his own, nodded to me and sat in his seat. As I sat down, I found myself unable to see anything past his broad shoulders that seemed to want to break free from the uniform. Surpessing my laugher, I turned away and tried to think of something else until class was over. Yet, I still couldn't help myself from thinking about the stange boy in front of me, and from time to time, I caught myself looking at those broad shoulders again.

"...Interesting." I laughed quietly, turning my attention away for the third time and watched the gray clouds move across the sky lazily again.


Well... that's it for now, and I hoped you liked it. What's with this new boy in school, is he good or is he bad?
And does he have something she shouldn't know yet?
Wait and see!
