Hi I'm EmiY-chan and this is the first fanfic that I've written so be kind please, it's also only the second fight scene that I've ever written. It will get better. I'm not the best speller so I hope that you can all forgive me for that. Please, please review, anything that you have to say would be appreciated, good or bad but I would really love it if it was good.

WARNING: this story will be a yaoi; I just love the Grimmichi pairing.

Oh yeah and the required disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or its characters, all rights go to Tite Kubo that man is a genius!

A change of Heart

Chapter I

Ichigo tensed as he felt a sudden burst of reitsu and his substitute shinigami badge started squawking at him. Pressing it to his chest to force his soul out of his body he leapt out the window as he let his body fall to the floor of his room.

Running across the rooftops he flew towards the area where he felt the powerful reitsu which felt familiar, though for the moment he just couldn't place it.

It was no surprise to him when he reached his destination and came face to face with a familiar teal haired arrancar.

"Been waiting for you Shinigami" Grimmjow smirked standing up straight; he stretched his arms above his head. His limbs had been starting to grow tired leaning up against a tree like he had been as he waited for Ichigo.

"Hey Grimmjow, come back for another ass kicking?" Ichigo asked the Teal haired Espada that had just appeared in Karakura town.

"Yeah right" Grimmjow harrumphed, "more like it's the other way around"

"We'll see" Ichigo said leaning in closer to him trying to make his presence seem intimidating, "I bet that you can't even put a scratch on me"

"Shut up you fuck- tard" Grimmjow growled throwing a punch at said strawberry's head.

Ichigo smirked and dodged the fist that came flying in his direction using shunpo to appear behind Grimmjow. The Espada turned around raising his zanpaktou above his head to block the oncoming blow.

Ichigo grinned as the force from his blow pushed Grimmjow back so that the teal haired Espada was on the defensive side of their fight.

"Give up Shinigami and let me kill you already"

"Like hell I'm gonna let you win another fight against me Grimmjow"

The Espada growled as he came swinging his sword moving erratically as he tried to cut Ichigo. He didn't care that there was no style to his attack or that his method was flawed he was overcome by a blinding rage and all he wanted was to see that annoying brat bleed, to hear him scream as his sword sliced into him.

Ichigo smiled; Grimmjow was leaving way to many openings for him to attack. Ichigo stood still, tensing as he readied himself to intercept his enemies' sword. Grimmjow sung down and Ichigo stood his ground under the immense pressure that had been behind that one blow. With a grunt he pushed himself and Grimmjow apart.

Ichigo shook his head; this was obviously getting nowhere fast. Grimmjow it seemed was having the same kind of thoughts. It was time to get a little more serious.

Ichigo raised his sword, "Bankai"

Grimmjow smirked as he waited in anticipation, now the fight was really going to start. Growling he raised his own sword and charged at the Shinigami hoping to catch him off guard. He had no such luck as Ichigo blocked him hardly seeming to feel the force that Grimmjow had put behind his swing.

Grimmjow growled, there was no way that the Shinigami hadn't felt that. Ichigo attacked back and Grimmjow revelled in the sensation of being caught up in a fight. He growled as he felt the tip of Ichigo's blade slice into his side and parried back the Strawberries blows. Seeing and opening he lunged for it and managed to cut the shinigami. He grinned as he saw blood beginning to flow from the wound that he had made.

Ichigo grimaced as he felt the blade pierce his shoulder. He swung his sword in a wide arc directing it towards Grimmjow.

"Getsuga tenshou"

Grimmjow was thrown against a tree as the burst of reitsu from Ichigo's Getsuga tenshou hit him at its full force. Grimmjow just managed to increase his own reitsu to block being killed by the force of the blast as he was knocked backwards and off his feet.

Grimmjow stood panting as he glared across at the orange headed teen before him. His shinigami uniform was torn and stained with blood that flowed from a long gash in his shoulder and countess other scratches on his body. He himself was not that much better. He smirked as Ichigo glared back at him and was glad to see that he was not the only one that seemed to be worn out from their fight.

Grimmjow straightened as he felt the reistu of some other Shinigami coming towards their location; this would have to be finished another time.

"Well Shinigami this has been fun an' all but looks like we got some company so well finish this latter 'k" Opening up a Gargantuan he disappeared and Ichigo stood down, relaxing his stance and placing his zanpaktou back in place on his back.

That blasted Grimmjow, he was always popping up wanting a fight and Ichigo was getting sick of it. He wondered what would happen if he just ignored him but he didn't want to take that chance and have some innocent person or soul be hurt because he had failed to do something. It really was inconvenient though, whether he was in class or a home, wherever it was it didn't matter to Grimmjow that he was interrupting Ichigo's life.

Don't worry I will start getting into the relationship between Ichigo and Grimmjow in the next few chapters. I hope to update soon so you hopefully won't have to wait long for the next chapter.

Please don't forget to review. Please no flames though.
