Just a little something for you guys.

Line Break

Leaving with Grimmjow a year ago was the best decision of Orihime's life. The worries of her past, present, and future were all on the back of her mind. All that mattered was him and her. The next morning she left Karakura Town, Orihime called Rangiku to let her know what happened. she was happy for her auburn friend. Orihime had sheltered herself from everything because Taksuki and Ichigo didn't want her to be exposed to stuff. Rangiku always hated that. Of course, she was worried for her friend. She was leaving the state with a stranger she met at a bar. That was dangerous and irresponsible.

So Rangiku talked to Grimmjow personally.

11 months ago

They were driving in the car. Grimmjow and Orihime had left Karakura and it was around 10 in the morning. Orihime was staring out the window as Grimmjow kept his eyes on the road. Some Starset song played softly over the radio. Orihime's phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and took in a sharp breath and groaned.

"What is it?" questioned Grimmjow.

"Rangiku."

"Who the fuck is that?"

"My friend."

"Is that the one that won't talk to you, or the one that ditched you last night." He smirked.

Orihime puffed out her cheeks and sighed, "She didn't ditch me! She had work!"

"So it's the ditcher."

"Stop it!"

"Answer the phone Princess, your ringtone is annoying."

So when she did, Rangiku screamed Orihime's ear off.

"ORIHIME! I WENT BY YOUR DORM AND YOU WERENT THERE! YOU WERENT IN CLASS WHERE ARE YOU?"

Orihime held the phone from her ear," G-good morning Rangiku. Umm, I'm not at school."

"THEN WHERE AR-..."

Rangiku didn't finish her sentence. It got oddly quiet. Orihime got worried and started biting in her nail.

Grimmjow pulled up to a gas station pump. Orihime got that stupid look on her face. That meant something was up.

And he didn't want to stick around to see.

"I'm going in. You want anything Princess."

Orihime didn't pay him any attention.

"Princess."

Silence

"Orihime."

No response.

He was just about knock her on her head. Then he heard a scream on the other line. Orihime jumped and held the phone away from her ear. Grimmjow raised an eyebrow and left. As long as she was breathing.

"YOU SLEPT AT A BOY'S HOUSE!"

"Rangiku that's not what happened."

"I knew going to a bar would be the best therapy! Is he tall, is he hot? Well of course he probably is, its you!"

"W-well he is pretty cute, b-but that's not where I am!"

"Ok then where are you?"

Orihime sighed,"I'm on the road. I left Karakura."

"What do you mean left? For a vacation? In the middle of the school year?"

"No, I'll be gone for a long time. Until I can clear my head."

"Ok have fun."

"I know you are going- wait what?"

"Have fun."

"You're not mad?"

Orihime heard Rangiku giggle.

"Of course not. You need this more than anything. Just be safe alright. And call me often."

A huge grin displayed on Orihime's face. Her friend was accepting of the situation. She didn't say that Orihime couldn't handle it or for her to come back home.

"Are you alone."

"No, I'm with Grimmjow!" Slowly, Orihime realized something extremely bad.

"Who is Grimmjow?"

Her happy expression turned into one of fear. She was so happy, she slipped and said his name.

"Orihime...who is Grimmjow?"

She quickly came up with a believable lie.

"An old friend of mine." Hopefully she bought it.

"Orihime, I have known you a long time, you have never mentioned a Grimmjow once."

Shoot.

"W-well an old childhood friend."

"Orihime, you told me Taksuki was the only friend you had as a kid."

Double Shoot. She caught red handed.

"The truth Hime. Now." Rangiku's voice was demanding and left no room for games.

There was brief moment of silence.

"Ok. You deserve to know", she took a deep breath, "I-I met him at the bar last night."

Line Break

A/N: Well you guys requested more, so here is more. I decided this will be a 4 maybe 5 chapter mini story. Next chapter will have Rangiku talking to Grimmjow and timeskips of his and Orihime' relationship during each month together. Chapter 3 will mostly be Ichigo and the others reactions to Orihime's leaving. Chapter 4 will be all romance, makeouts and possibly a lemon between Grimmjow and Orihime.

Thanks for everyone's support even though I am not the best author or the best person to keep up with a steady updating schedule. Sorry for the delay in my other stories too for those who read Rikka and The Princess and the Panther. I will try to get those update on Friday and Saturday.
