I know I said something about an Elricest, but I've got writer's block. This plot was actually produced through text with M, my muse and sister, on a really long car ride to Colorado to see relatives. Since we couldn't talk aloud, we texted, Grimmichi came into view and we made this.

K, so don't kill me, but, Isshin is not Ichi's father at first. Please R&R! Hope you like it!

Kidnappings and Love

PROLOGUE

Grimmjow-

Here we go. So, I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Grimmjow Jeagerjaques. I've got blue (yes, it's natural) hair and blue eyes and my hobby -other than making my mum happy- is fighting with the strawberry at school. I hate him because he's an ass. He always gets under my skin and we usually end up yelling at each other. I moved to Japan with my mum, Nel, after her divorce right before second grade. She won full custody over me. And I haven't seen my old man since I was seven because of that. I'm 16 now, though, so I don't really remember anything about him. Lately, Mum's been seeing a guy -Aizen I think it was- and he seemed nice at first. As I got some alone time to talk to him, though, he started to frighten me (for my mum's sake, not mine!) because he's really cold and mysterious. I have yet to meet his teenage son though and I don't even know the guy's name because that Aizen bastard avoids that question.

He pulled me aside the last time he, mum, and I went out to eat together and asked if I was okay with him proposing to Mum. "Why not? You seem to love her and, trust me, she loves you, too." And then I walked away. About 20 minutes into dinner, he finally did it. Mum immediately said yes and everyone around us clapped and Mum grinned like an idiot the rest of dinner. I might be wary of the guy, but if he could make my mum smile like that, I could accept him.

Now, we've only got a week until the wedding and I'm excited. I'll get to meet my soon-to-be step-brother. Of course, Mum told me to invite Ulquiorra, Nnoitra, Starrk, and Yami, my best friends to be groomsmen along with me and they all accepted. Though, the reason I'm excited for the wedding isn't because they'll be there, it's because of Aizen's kid. When I asked why he wouldn't be one of the groomsmen, she told me he was going as one of the bride's maids along with four of his other friends, two of which were boys, two girls. "Don't worry, though. All is fair. He'll be the maid of honor so you'll both be honorable." She giggled after she told me that. Then, her face got serious. "You have to support him though. He's…he's gay, OK? Please try." I just laughed and said, "Have you forgotten I'm the same?" After that, I got more excited. I even put up with being fitted for my suit I'm so happy. I mean, c'mon. Any gay guy's dream brother would be one that was not only gay as well, but would gladly put on a dress for his soon-to-be step-mother who he hadn't even know a full six months. I can't wait to meet him, though I wonder what he'll be like…

Ichigo-

Call me Kurosaki. Or Ichigo, either is fine. Anything else and you'll get your ass kicked faster than you can say 'strawberry.' Anyways, I think I'm supposed to introduce myself. Since you know my name, I'll start with school, then family, then current events.

First of all, I'm a great student. I get along with few people, though, because I tend to scowl a lot. I can't help it because I've been doing it since my mum was murdered. There are some I get along with, though. Just four: Ishida, Orihime, Renji, and Rukia. Then there's Grimmjow. I hate him, like, with a fire passion. He's an ass - that's all there is to it. We always fight and yell. (Ah! Before I go any further, I should go ahead and tell you I'm gay. Just, you know, needed to tell you so you aren't confused.) I only have a dad. His name is Aizen and, even though he's my father, I'm terrified of him. Mum died when I was seven -during second grade- and he didn't even care. After she was murdered, the case went cold with no more leads and no more D.N.A. to collect three months later. Then, he started touching me in places he shouldn't have. It was living hell for almost nine years.

Lately, though, he hasn't touched me. I was so very happy…until I found out the reason. It's because he's been seeing a woman. Now, don't get me wrong, she's all I could ever hope for and more as a mother (she's even letting me have some fun with the wedding! I get to go as one of the bride's maids, along with Renji, Ishida, Orihime, and Rukia. And yes, we'll be in dresses.), but I don't trust Aizen with other people and this situation makes me scared (for Nel's sake, not mine!). I wasn't there when he proposed, but Nel burst through the door one night last month and told me the news and we immediately started planning the wedding –after a happy dance, course. Personally, I think I might be more excited for this than the actual bride because she's got a teenage son of her own and I've always wanted a brother my age since I'm an only child. Now, I'll have one! I hope he's cool, but I wonder…what will he be like?
