Thunder and lightening cracked in the sky. The lightening painted the sky purple and the rain continued to fall. Twenty six year old Ichigo Kurosaki pulled his coat tighter around himself; he forced himself not to flinch every time thunder rolled through the sky. He shoved his hands further into his pockets, he could feel his badge bounce against his chest with each step he took and he could feel his holster rub against his hip. Ichigo had just finished a double shift when the skies had opened up and added to his already shitty day. He was getting a new partner tomorrow; he didn't particularly want a new partner, not after what happened with his last one. That was one of the reasons he hated the rain. He rounded the corner and walked to his house and pulled his keys out of his pocket and unlocked the door, he pulled the key out and shut the door and reset the alarm. He toed off his shoes and took off his jacket and hung it up. He through his keys on the counter top and walked up the stairs to his bedroom. He flicked on the bedroom light and took off his badge and holster and placed them on the nightstand and began to strip off his soaked clothes. He walked past the full length mirror and spotted the scar in the middle of his chest, he unconsciously rubbed at the scar. Sighing he walked into the bathroom connected to his bedroom and turned it on. He stripped off his boxers and socks and climbed into the already heated shower. He groaned when the hot water hit his back, taking the ache out of his muscles. He washed his hair and body and climbed out after half an hour. He wrapped a towel around his waist and walked into the bedroom and over to his dresser and pulled out a pair of sweats and dropped his towel and pulled on the sweats. Ichigo bent down and grabbed his soaked jeans and pulled out his phone, he made sure that the alarm was set before he switched off the bedroom light and climbed into bed. He pulled the quilt tight around his shoulders so that it rested over his ears and he let out a sigh and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The alarm blared, getting louder and louder with each second that passed. Ichigo groaned and reached over to the other side of the bed where his phone was rested and slammed his hand down on it, effectively shutting the horrible noise off. Ichigo peeled his eyes open and blinked the sleep out of his eyes, he yawned and stretched, his joints popped and he let out a content sigh. He stayed in his cocoon of warmth for a few minutes more before he pulled himself out of the cocoon and into the brisk morning air that was in his bedroom. He padded over to the bathroom to relieve himself, when he was finished he washed his hands and brushed his teeth. Ichigo rinsed his mouth and spat out the toothpaste and walked back into his bedroom to dress. He dressed in a pair of stone washed Levi jeans, a black t-shier and a pair of clack chucks. He walked over to his bedside table and grabbed his badge and put it over his head and then he grabbed his holster and clipped it to his waistband, he pulled out his standard issues 9mm glock and checked it and then put it back in his holster. He reached over and grabbed his phone and slipped it in his pocket and left the bedroom. He jogged down the stairs and grabbed a dry jacket off the hanger and pulled it on. He grabbed his keys and opened the door, he walked out and locked it and he waited for the alarm to beep before he left. While Ichigo walked to work he wondered what his new partner would be like, he hoped that his partner didn't mind getting their hands dirty. Ichigo may be a cop but sometimes he got a little too rough with suspects, he also hoped that his partner would be able to handle themselves in any situation, not that he minded having to watch his partners back, that's what partners do.

It took Ichigo just under half an hour to get to Karakura police station; he knew that when he got in there would be a cup of coffee and a bagel waiting for him on his desk that would have been left by Orihime. Ichigo had gone to school with Orihime, the girl had had a crush on him through out highscool, until he told her that he preferred dick. Orihime had took it well and they had stayed friends ever since. Ichigo walked to the police station and smiled at Orihime who waddled over to him and he embraced her tightly.

"You look like your about to burst Hime" Ichigo said to her when they pulled apart

Orihime chuckled and said, "I wish I would Ichigo, it will be great to not have to pee every five minutes"

Ichigo laughed, "You just take care of yourself and my goddaughter okay, now go sit before you fall down"

Orihime smiled and nodded and waddled back to her chair at the front desk. Ichigo shook his head and walked over to his desk and sat in his chair. He smiled when he saw a cup of steaming hot coffee and a ham and cheese bagel waiting for him. He reached for the cup and turned on his computer and waited for it to load up, he took a mouthful of the hot liquid and sighed when he felt it burn down his throat. It was quiet in the office, the others hadn't come in yet as it was still pretty early but he knew that his boss, Kisuke Urahara, would be in and he would be called to his office some time soon, so he put his cup down and grabbed the bagel, it was gone in five bites. Just as he was about to finish his coffee, Ichigo saw Kisuke's door open and he stood before the man could shout him. He walked over to Kisuke and the older man stepped aside. Ichigo walked into the man's office and saw that there was another occupant sat in one of the chairs. Ichigo walked over to the other chair and sat in it and he glanced at the man that would be his new partner.

Chocolate brown eyes locked with teal and Ichigo knew that he was done for. His new partner was a god, the man was tanned and muscular, even though the man was sat down, Ichigo could tell he was muscular from the way the fabric of his long sleeved t-shirt strained against the mans muscles. Ichigo watched as a lazy smirk passed over the mans lips, revealing pointed fangs. Ichigo swallowed thickly and looked back over to Kisuke who had just sat down. Kisuke looked between the two men and he knew that the partnership could either turn out one of two ways, they would kill each other or fuck each other … he didn't know which, yet. He hoped that it was the second choice.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, this is your new partner, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez."

"Heh, nice ta meet ya, strawberry" said Grimmjow.

Ichigo felt his eye twitch at being called strawberry, he was used to it, he got called it his whole life, what he did pay attention to was the voice that came from the man, it was like Grimmjow had gargled gravel. Ichigo felt a shudder run through his body. He looked over to the teal eyed man and noticed that his hair was the same colour and said,

"Do the curtains match the drapes?"

Grimmjow grinned and said, " ill show ya if ya like, any excuse to get my dick out"

Ichigo barked out a laugh and looked back to Kisuke who had raised an amused eyebrow. Kisuke cleared his throat and said,

"I have a high profile case that I need you both on, what is discussed doesn't leave this room and it isn't talked about until you are both alone, understood" both men nodded " Good, there is a new drug that has been released onto the streets called Hogykou. It's a very powerful drug; it makes the user feel like they are invincible and that they can do anything. In small doses the side effects are nausea, blank spots and headaches but if it is taken in a large dose, once the high has worn off, it causes a high fever to set in and if it isn't treated within twelve hours of the drug wearing off, the user dies."

Grimmjow and Ichigo blinked, they took in the information that they had just been given and looked at each other, a silent agreement passed between the two and they looked back to Kisuke. Kisuke pushed three files over to them and Ichigo grabbed them without a word and waited for Kisuke to talk again.

"Inside the files are pictures and names of people who may have information on who is distributing the drug. I assigned Grimmjow to you because he worked in narcotics for four years before moving to special operations unit. Hogykou is being dealt out of Hueco Mundo, Grimmjow knows his way around that part of Karakura so he will be an asset to you." Kisuke looked straight at Ichigo and said, "Ichigo, you may run into Aizen while you are out there, please don't do anything rash"

Ichigo stiffened in his chair, his fingers clenched around the manila folders and he clenched his jaw. Ichigo could feel Grimmjow's eyes on him but he didn't dare take his eyes off Kisuke when he said,

"If I see him, im going to put a bullet in his head"

With that, Ichigo rose and walked out of the room leaving the two men left to stare after him. Grimmjow turned to Kisuke and said,

"Wha was that about"

Kisuke sighed and said, "About two years ago, Ichigo and his partner Renji were called out to a man beating his girlfriend, when they arrived, and they saw that it was Aizen, he was a repeat offender, Ichigo and Renji had brought him in numerous times on domestic violence charges, the girlfriend always dropped the charges. Anyway, they got there and tried to stop Aizen from killing his girlfriend, what they didn't know was that Aizen was strapped, he pulled a gun on them, they had tired to calm Aizen down but he shot them both, Renji died on the way to the hospital and Ichigo nearly didn't make it. Ichigo was in a coma for three months. When he woke up the first person he asked for was Renji. When we told him what had happened, he wasn't the same after that, he swore revenge on Aizen. He rarely smiled or laughed; only a select few people got him to smile or laugh, you being one. He trained harder than he did before, pushing himself to get stronger and he did. He's even more reckless than he used to be, he takes stupid risks and one day he will get himself killed" Kisuke took a deep breath and locked eyes with Grimmjow, " Watch out for him, Grimmjow"

Grimmjow took in what Kisuke had said and let out a long breath, he nodded and stood and went to find his new partner. Grimmjow found Ichigo outside leaning against the wall with his head back and eyes closed. Grimmjow walked over to him and lent next to him and said,

"Boss told me what happened, he asked me to watch ya back. If we bump into Aizen, ill keep people distracted"

Ichigo opened one of his eyes and looked at Grimmjow and said, "Why"

"Because that's wha partners do"

Ichigo let out a deep breath and stood up from the wall. " We should go back to my place and look over the files, there's nothing else that we can do till later on tonight"

Grimmjow just nodded and waved his hand and let Ichigo lead the way back to his house. They walked in silence; each man didn't know what to say. Ichigo thought that he would hate working with Grimmjow, but they had already established a trust unit and they hadn't even knew each other an hour. Ichigo was grateful to have a partner to watch his back, he just wish he did the same for Renji. Ichigo still blames himself every day, what people didn't know about him and Renji was that their relationship went further than just partners and friends; they had been sleeping together for three years, they shared a house under the pretext that it was cheaper to pay the rent. People thought that Renji stayed in his own bed when he spent his nights in bed with Ichigo. Ichigo had moved out of their shared house as soon as he got back on his feet, there were too many memories in the house he shared with Renji. Ichigo looked at Grimmjow, and knew that Renji would approve of Grimmjow being his partner.

Grimmjow watched Ichigo out of the corner of his eye, he could tell that the berry was thinking hard about something, probably Renji, his eyes flicked to the sky and he thought, ill keep him safe, he doesn't know why he did that but he had an urge to do so. Grimmjow could tell by the way that Ichigo reacted to Kisuke mentioning Renji that there was something more between the two men, and if Kisuke didn't know, Grimmjow wasn't going to point it out, it wasn't his place to. As they walked, it gave Grimmjow time to get a proper look at Ichigo, the man was beautiful, deep brown chocolate eye, peachy skin, fire red hair and he held himself like a fighter and Grimmjow appreciated that. He would like to spar with Ichigo one day, maybe it will be some time soon. They turned the corner to Ichigo's house and the orange haired man pulled out his keys and opened the door, the alarm beeped and Ichigo reset it and let Grimmjow walk past him.

Grimmjow looked around the house, he walked into the living room and he saw pictures of two young girls hung on the wall; there was also a picture of Ichigo with the girls and his parents. There were pictures from his graduation from the academy and on the mantle piece there was a picture of him and Renji. Grimmjow stepped closer and looked at it, Ichigo had his head thrown back in laughter and Grimmjow could see the adoration in Renji's eyes as he looked at the man laugh. Grimmjow was brought out of his musings by Ichigo's voice.

"Want a coffee"

"Sure"

Grimmjow walked into the kitchen and sat at the table, he reached for one of the files and flicked it open, he noticed that there were about twenty pages and he groaned. He heard Ichigo put the cup down next to him and sit across from him; Grimmjow looked up and said,

"This is gonna be a long fucking morning".

Ichigo opened one of the other files and let out a groan of his own as he noticed that there were another twenty pages,

"Long fucking morning indeed" he said and they got to work.
