A night of blue flames.

Ichigo made his way home after a long stressful day at school. Orihime got confused between hazelnut chocolate spread and normal, Ishida had given him a lecture on him day dreaming again ,and the day had been well...boring. No hollows were seen throughout the whole day, not one.

So he couldn't help but let himself drift into yet another daydream whilst he walked.

"this was just to easy", Grimmjow thought to himself, as he watched Ichigo walk down the street from a lamp post he was perched on. The teen seemed to be lost in thought, because when ever he was, he got a crease just at the bridge of his nose, and ichigo must be in deep thought the espada mused, as he wouldn't normally be able to get this close without ichigo sensing his reiatsu.

Grimmjow decided to test his luck and moved closer...

Itchigo was lost in thought when he suddenly heard a deep voice right next to his ear.

" Why hey there, strawberry" Grimmjow said in a dark and humured tone. Ichigo lept to the side only to be face to face with the grinning espada, Grimmjow.

"How could he not have sensed Grimmjow, and at so close!" Ichigo thought to himself, his confusion evident on his face. " What do you want!" Ichigo snarled out as he reached for his combat pass. "well I'm not here to fight, if that's what your thinking" Grimmjow growled back crossing his arms in defence. Ichigo's hand froze just above his combat pass as he processed what Grimmjow had said. "Well why are you here then?" Ichigo asked confusion etched even more onto his face.

Grimmjow couldn't believe it, he had gotten so close to Ichigo that he could have killed him, if that was his intention. The confusion and anger shown in the substitute shinigami's face was priceless, however he knew that if he took one wrong step, he would be stuck in a tight situation.

"Actually, I need a place to stay" Grimmjow said and waited for the reaction to come...

" You..wait...what!" was the response he got from ichigo the confusion on his face replaced with one of shock. "I said, I need a place to stay" Grimmjow reiterated.
