All he wanted was to sleep in because six a.m is a crime. Ichigo sighed, he had morning classes today. His roommate, Renji didn't so he didn't wake him up like he usually did. So, of course, he had enough time to throw some jeans that laid on a chair, then having to throw them off because they were Renji's and grab his and a shirt quickly. He then turned the coffee from last night on to warm up as he quickly dressed.
He grabbed his bag, sighed in relief that his salvation of the morning was warm and not cold and poured it into a mug and took off, slamming the door. Renji didn't even so much as wake up, just merely turned over and continued to sleep. No thanks to said red-head, Ichigo got to class in time. He grinned triumphantly into his coffee and took a sip.
"He made it!"
Ichigo looked over to see Rukia, Chad, Tatsuki, and Orihime. Uryu didn't have morning classes today either. Lucky Bastard. Ichigo gave a short wave and walked to his friends.
"You're 20 years old and still need a wake-up call," Tatsuki said and shook her head at her old friend.
Ichigo rolled his eyes.
"I was up late last night, I had shit to do."
"Did you work last night? " Orihime asked.
"Yeah, I had to cover Ikkaku's shift."
"You need to stop covering for him so much. " Rukia said, poking his arm.
"I get free food out of it Rukia, it's not a bad deal seeing as Ramen and microwave meals are all your boyfriend buys when I send him to get it. I can have an actual meal, stuff is too damn expensive otherwise."
Chad nodded his agreement as they were told to sit and class began. They all loved their professor, he was a cool guy and didn't pressure anyone. He taught well too so he was a favorite. His name was Shunsui Kyoraku, even though he did hit on some of the women he meant it only in fun. They all sat back and the lesson began, Ichigo drinking his coffee as they did.
"Fucking Hell, Grimmjow GET IT." Ogichi Shirosaki growled to his friend, who was currently dealing with a demon. He was currently doing the same.
"What the hell do you think I'm DOING Shiro?!" The man growled back.
The demon went for Shiro and he jumped up, using the Demon's shoulder as leverage to do a backflip. impaling his chest with the white katana he held into the blackened flesh. Grimmjow finally beheaded the demon. Shiro tsked at the action, flicking the blood off his sword. "Bout time."
"Shut up, Shirosaki." He said with a roll of his eyes towards the albino. "Let's get back before Nel has a heart-attack."
"Yeah, then we can go and get some food," Grimmjow said, grinning.
Shiro chuckled.
"Yeah, whatever floats your boat Jeagerjaques. " The bodies of the demons below started to disappear. Shiro cast them one last look before catching up with the blue-haired man. Whom of which was eager to get home and grab his boyfriend, sister and anybody else at the apartment so they could eat.
Grimmjow and himself had been out through the early morning and they both hated the morning. Shiro knew denying him food when he's normally pissy with him when they got the morning duty would result in a fight. They eventually made it to the apartment, everyone was awake except for the tall lanky man that was snoozing on the couch. Shiro kicked the couch "G'Mornin' Nnitora." Shiro said with a tsk.
Nnitora groaned and rolled off the couch and onto the couch. "You're an Asshole, Shirosaki." He grumbled while Grimmjow had an all to approving smirk on his face. Ulquiorra watched this over his coffee mug and Nel chuckled from where she was looking for something to eat. Shiro looked at Nnitora and fanned that the statement hurt him, putting his hand over his chest and gasping.
"That hurts me, deep." Nnitora snorted. Grimmjow found his wallet "Finally." Ulquiorra looked at his boyfriend and raised a brow, setting his mug down. "I found my wallet, we're going out to eat.
Shiro grinned and laughed as Ulquiorra pulled out his own wallet and looked at him as if to say "What-the-fuck." Grimmjow huffed "Well, it doesn't matter lets just go." "Good because i'm starving." Nel said and grabbed Nnitora. "Let's go, we can take Nni's car."
"Good because i sure as hell don't want to walk after being out all night dealing with my dear Father's shit." Shiro said and opened the door of the apartment. "Well come on." The five of them made their way out to the nearby cafe called Espada and Reapers. Nobody knew why it was called that but then again nobody cared.
They made it to the cafe at around 8 and made their home at a booth in the corner so everyone could sit at the table. "I'll go order, what do you guys want?" The albino said to his friends. They all responded, no surprise Grimmjow wanted the entire fucking menu. Shiro walked to the counter and placed their orders.
Shiro got the coffee that they wanted, having to wait for the food and turned to walk back their table when someone pushed him over. He steadied himself and scowled, fucking humans. A man with fiery Red hair had ran into him. When he turned to apologize he froze and stared, any apology slipping when he saw the albino and his eyes. Shiro sighed and prepared to be kicked out when he heard another man's voice.
"Jesus Renji! You're just going to bump into him then not apologize?" Shiro looked to another man, his hair as bright as the first ones but orange. He looked to Shiro and the albino was suddenly thankful for the man with tattoos for eyebrows. "I was about to, God why do you gotta be so annoying Ichigo? "
Shiro was amused at the two and their choice of words. Ichigo finally looked to Shiro, not stopping or stuttering out of discomfort because of his less than normal apperance. "I'm sorry my friend ran into you, did you spill anything? ""Nah, i'm alright. If i did my lazy ass friends can get themselves another."
Ichigo nodded. "Well if you want i can help you carry the rest." Shiro felt something in his chest and he bit the inside of his lip, shaking his head. "I got it. Thanks for the concern though."
Ichigo watched the albino escape to his table, the other albino at the strange group giving the man a concerned look before signing something with his hands. "That was weird" Renji said. Ichigo just shrugged. "I guess,now come on. Lets get some food before Tatsuki has a bitch fit about how long we took."
Later, Shiro decided to go out and leave his friends behind back the apartment. After the cafe they had decided to screw around at the Mall until Grimmjow almost decked a rude employee in a store because she asked Ulquiorra if she could help, not being able to respond due to her lack of knowledge of his language Grimmjow responded for him with a "No." To which the woman snapped "I wasn't asking you."
Nel and Ulquiorra had to drag him out of the store while Nnitora and himself flicked off the on lookers.
Now he was enjoying the air of a winters night. It refreshed his lungs with the cold gusts and cleared his head. Shiro's mind went back to the man from Espada and Reapers. He sighed and shoved his hands in his pockets. He was human, so he wasn't going to subject him to the life Shiro had to live.
So any thoughts or hopes of if he saw him again went out the window. Shiro pushed a hand through his hair and looked at the ground. "Fuck you." he growled at the ground then looked to the sky. "You're no help either."
He then heard a screech and that caused him to be woken from his thoughts. His head snapped to where he felt the foul presence and more than likely the source of the screech. He felt his katana appear in his hand after doing a quick sweep of the area. The white sword making a home in the albino's hand as he ran to the area. A gruesome sight awaited him and he saw the heads of hair from earlier but also four more heads on the ground, unconscious.
The one he remembered was Ichigo was the only one that was awake at the moment and holding a crow bar in the teeth of the demon. It looked like a wolf of sorts but its tail was that of a lizard and ended like a scorpion. The beasts spin was also evident do to the sharp bones that shot up from it. It's eyes shot to Shiro and he stopped his misson to bite Ichigo. Ichigo took the opportunity and used his remaining strength to push it off and hit it in the jaw with the crow bar.
"Bastard!" Ichigo yelled. The demon ignored him, not even phased as it crept to Shiro, it gave a huge toothy grin to the man. Ichigo looked to Shiro, horrified. "Son of the Lord."
It laughed low. "He'll be pleased to know you've grown." "You won't live to tell about it." Shiro brought the sword down through it's skull before it could attempt an attack or worse, leave and report in. Shiro looked up to Ichigo who had a gash in his head and his shirt was ripped, he was looking at his friends on the ground then he made eye contact with Shiro.
The albino sighed, taking his phone out and calling Nel. "Nel, don't ask questions. I need help and these kids wont last long if we don't." a sigh. "Where are you?" "In an alley in between that nameless liquor store and shady apartment complex." "We'll be there in five."
"Good." Shiro hung up and looked back to the man that kept staring at him. "You want answers, i get it. Not now though." "Why not?" Ichigo said, staring at the albino.
"Because you wouldn't really hear me if i told you." He was right, Ichigo was more worried about the people on the ground. He would have processed about ten percent of what he told him. Nel finally arrived with everyone and they wrapped their wounds for the trip to their apartment. It was the longest ride of Ichigo's life and the tensest one of Shiro's.
His Dad was getting desperate if he was sending demons like that one. Even though that demon didn't talk the best, it was hardly understandable. Shiro heard it however and demons that could even form words weren't something you took lightly. They were directly affiliated with Satan's army and they don't come to the human world unless under orders. Shiro sighed, catching the attention of Ulquiorra.
Shiro waved him off and they quickly made their way up to their apartment. Nnitora went down the hall and knocked on the door of Szayel. Who would be more than likely annoyed they where using him as a doctor again. Neither of them gave a shit as they set each of them in some form of a seat. Ichigo sat on the floor and leaned against a wall, quiet.
Szayel entered the apartment with a kit, shutting the door and setting to work on them. He didn't say much, not that they cared. Shiro walked over to Ichigo and sat next to him with a sigh. Ichigo looked at the man and pulled his legs to himself. Ulquiorra same over and wrapped his head up after cleaning the wound and then handed him a shirt.
Ichigo looked at him and smirked weakly. "Thank you." Ulquiorra nodded and out of habit, signed a "you're welcome." Ichigo watched him and he looked upset that he couldn't understand him. Ulquiorra bit the inside of his lip and mouthed "You're welcome."
Grimmjow looked over at the exchange and Nel stopped him from going over and being his voice. Ulquiorra patted his shoulder and got up from is squatting position and went to help Szayel in any way he could. Ichigo then looked down feeling bad. "So, i'm ready for the Q and A session." Shiro said, Ichigo looked to Shiro.
"By the way Szayel has slowed down and aloud Ulquiorra to help, they'll make it." Ichigo felt relief sweep through him. "Good.." He thought how he should start. "What did he mean by The Lord?"
"Satan." Ichigo raised his brows at the bluntness. "What?" "Satan, and if you're going to ask why he said he'll be pleased because i've grown it's because.." Shiro looked down. "Because i'm his son."
Ichigo stayed silent before he shook his head. "I can't say you're crazy because i heard it too." Shiro snorted and nodded with a smirk. "Guess not." Ichigo wanted to ask about the man he assumed was Ulquiorra. He felt that the man that was watching him from his side wouldn't be too happy about it though.
Shiro leaned over and got really close to his ear, making Ichigo tense up, he whispered sadly. "He's mute." Ichigo looked at Shiro, making him realizing that it was a bad idea because they were so close. He cared but also felt sad for the man. He didn't know much about him but now understood why the blue haired man now behind Ulquiorra and wrapping his arms around his waist was so protective. Grimmjow flicked his eyes over and made eye contact with Shiro then Ichigo.
He knew Shiro had said something but he knew the story was for Ulquiorra to tell.
And something told him that the orange haired kid would be around for him to tell it.
AN: PHEW! That was quiet a intro chapter! Not long but surely it has set the story up and wasn't boring i hoped! I hadn't originally planned on Ulquiorra being Mute..but it felt right for a back story in this story. Don't kill me for it . If it helps there will be Fluffy GrimmUlqui because of it! Not all the time but probably when there needs to be a cool down.
Review Please! Tell me what you think!
Until next time my Hollows!
