Thanks for the reviews!!! x3 Here's chapter 2! So enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach.

Orihime had just came back from Home Ec. with Unohana-sensei. All they had done was bake chocolate chip cookies and they were so good! She had a few extras in the plastic bag in her hand.

Fortunately for her, it was now time for lunch. She decided not to study with Ichimaru-sensei, since it was really an option for her. She could get help from him some other time.

Yay! I can eat the rest of these now!She flashed an angelic smile at nobody in particular.

She was now currently in the middle of the lunch room looking for an open table. She hadn't made any friends yet, except for that Grimmjow guy. Well, if you could call them 'friends.'

He's spoken to her a few times but nothing really friendly.

The chestnut haired girl observed the tables while tapping her foot lightly. She was nervous.

I don't have anyone to sit with. I'm just standing here, looking like a blind fool! I don't like being stared at!Her faced flushed in embarrassment. She looked down and hid her face behind her hair.

Through all her strands of auburn hair, she saw a table in the very back of the room that seemed like nobody was occupying.

There!

She ran over there, nearly knocking over a student in the process. Yeah, embarrassment really made her more out of character.

She claimed her seat and let out a sigh in relief. Ah, now I won't be stared at. I can also enjoy my cookies!With a smile to herself, she opened the plastic baggy and took out one of the cookies.

She took a bite out of the baked good and chewed. It was delicious! It was so chewy and good. It was still slightly warm too.

The cookie was good. Too good.

Her grey eyes widened.

The little blue men! They poisoned my cookie! They had to! How else could this cookie taste so good?

While all these ridiculous thoughts ran through her head, she failed to notice the eight people taking seats around the table.

"Hey, Inoue."

No reply.

"Inoue."

Again, no reply.

"INOUE!"

Orihime was awoken out of her 'little blue men' thoughts by the all to familiar Grimmjow Jeagerjaques.

The girl gave Grimmjow a clueless look.

His fists that were laying on the table clenched angrily. "Get. Out. Of. Our. Table. Now."

She shook her head in a panicky way, making her auburn tresses fly all over the place. Her hands were waving in front of her in a apologetic gesture.

"Oh I'm sorry! I didn't know anyone sat here! I'll move!"

The teal haired teen nodded, "Yeah, now get the fuck out of here."

Orihime swallowed nervously and started to get up off her seat, grabbing her cookies with her.

"Wait a minute."

She turned back to the person who spoke.

"Grimmjow, let her sit here with us. She looks...Hm, how to put it? ....Ah, fascinating." A man with pink hair and glasses spoke.

He sat across from Grimmjow, who was sitting beside Orihime's previous spot.

Orihime stared at him oddly. Even this was weird for her. Who has pink hair? Seriously, this is not normal.

The said man gave her a smirk and a little wink.

"What was that, Szayel?" Grimmjow growled.

All the other members of the table just kept on eating their lunches, ignoring the little squabble between the two.

The said person, Szayel, rested his chin into the palm of his propped up hand. He just smirked and gave no answer.

The teal haired man gave one last growl aimed at Szayel and looked back to the girl.

"Alright, you can sit with us." He glared at her, sending shivers down her spine.

"H-hai," she stuttered.

He just shot her an irritated look and began to dig into his meal.

Inoue looked around at the other occupants of the table.

On the left to her was the guy with pink hair, Szayel. To the right, Grimmjow. Next to Szayel was a dark haired guy with a white path over his eye and a smile that was almost as creepy as Ichimaru-sensei's.

Beside him was a guy with shoulder length brown hair who also had a goatee. He took a glance at her, an uninterested look, and looked back to the girl he was talking to.

The girl he was speaking to sat right across from her and had darker skin, piercing green eyes, and messy blonde hair which had three braided locks. Her uniform shirt was cut off just barley an inch above her large breasts. It's not even appropriate, yet the teachers don't do a thing about it for unknown reasons.

Orihime looked at the guy on the girl's right.

He has short, messy black hair and the most beautiful green eyes Orihime had ever seen. He has teal lines that descend from his eyes, making it appear as if he's crying. He looked as if he didn't give a crap about anything.

Last but not least, was giant man, way bigger than Grimmjow. This guy had darker skin with long bushy sideburns and a thin pony tail. Aside from that, he was bald. Another odd feature was that he has orange eyebrows and red markings under his eyes.

What a strange group of people,She thought. She kept staring at them all, not even touching her cookies again.

Szayel seemed to have noticed her wandering eyes.

"Curious, I see?"

She lightly blushed in embarrassment and nodded her head slowly. He smirked at her reaction.

"Well, this fellow next to me is Nnoitra Jiruga." He pointed his thumb. Nnoitra looked over to the pink haired guy and gave him a questioning look. He noticed Orihime and looked down at her chest with a pervy smile.

Szayel, who was very observant, seemed to noticed where his gaze was directed at. He swatted Nnoitra on the shoulder in a scolding manner.

He cowered and returned his gaze to the blonde girl's chest.

Orihime cringed,He's really disgusting.

Szayel coughed a bit, "Yes, well, on to the next person." He turned towards the guy with the goatee. "That is Stark."

Stark just continued on talking to the girl, not paying any attention to the introductions that the pink haired man was making.

"The girl next to Stark is Halibel."

Halibel's eyes flashed to Szayel, then Orihime. Her eyes lingered on her with interest before turning back to Stark.

"That emo guy over there is Ulquiorra Schiffer," he pointed out.

Ulquiorra sent a small glare Szayel's way. "For the last time, I'm not emo." He eyed Inoue for a moment but then continued glaring at Szayel.

He hunched his shoulders and lifted a pink eyebrow. "Right..."

Quickly regaining his posture, he then introduced the last member of the table. "Lastly, that's Yammy Rialgo."

Yammy grunted in acknowledgement and continued on eating his big ass sandwich. The sandwich looked like it could feed 10 people. It was about 3 feet long and 4 inches thick.

"Oh!"

Orihime turned her attention back to Szayel, who just sounded like he remembered something.

He began to chuckle a bit, "My, how rude of me. I forgot to introduce myself, Inoue-san."

She smiled in reply, "It's alright." She was wringing her hands in anxiety. She was a little nervous with all these new people around her. They were kind of intimidating to her.

"Well, I'm Szayel Aporro Grantz."

The girl blushed a bit, "I haven't introduced myself properly either." She seemed to be blushing a lot today. "I'm Orihime Inoue."

He reached out and gently took her hand that was on the table. He brought it to his lips and lightly kissed it.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Orihime-chan."

Inoue's face was a deep scarlet by then, brighter than any of her blushes today. He released her hand, as she slowly brought it to her chest. Her heart was thumping loudly.

He's such a gentleman, and he added 'chan' to my name,She thought in awe.

Everyone in the lunch room started to get up off their seats and dump the rest of their lunch in the trash cans. Lunch was over, back to class.

The rest of the table members also got up off their seats and walked on straight ahead.

What they didn't notice was that a certain pair of icy blue eyes was watching them.

"Time sure goes by fast, no?" The pink haired teen made it seem more like a statement than a question.

"Yeah, it does," she replied. They were at their lockers (his happened to be right next to hers) when Szayel asked her what her next class was.

"I have science next with Kurotsuchi-sensei," she gathered the necessary books and shut the locker.

He smirked in satisfaction, also gathering his science stuff.

"Same." Science happened to be his favorite class, something he greatly excelled in.

After gathering their books, they soon were at the door of the science room. Szayel was following in right after Inoue, but was stopped by a hand gripping him roughly on his shoulder. The hand spun him around, only to come face to face with Grimmjow.

"What do you think you were doing with Inoue during lunch?" He snarled. He was watching the whole thing between them. It made him sick.

"Oh, what are you talking about? There's nothing going on between her and I. Maybe just...casual flirting?" The pink haired teen smirked, something he did a lot. He was finding Grimmjow's reaction very amusing, to say the least.

Grimmjow tightened his grip on Szayel's shoulder, but then removed his hand so that it was placed on his neck instead. He shoved him up against the wall and glared while making growling noises, making him seem like a panther.

"Are you jealous, Grimmjow? Do you like her?" Szayel tilted his head in an innocent gesture.

"Of course I don't like her! I've only known her for a few hours you dumbass! Unlike you, I'm not using her to try to get over my ex-girlfriend!" He was pissed off.

Szayel looked offended, "I'm not using her to get over Nel! Why would you think that?!" It was his turn to glare.

"Uh, well, let me see... She just dumped you a few days ago! That's why she left the gang!" The teal haired teen said sarcastically. He still hadn't relequinshed his hold on the other teen's neck.

The amber eyed teen grabbed at Grimmjow's arms, trying to release himself. "I'm not using Orihime-chan to get over her! I still like Nel! I was just being polite to her that's all."

"Polite my ass," Grimmjow scoffed.

Szayel moved his arm up to fiddle with his glasses. "Would you mind removing me from me your hold? It's gotten quite uncomfortable."

Grimmjow let him go but still had an irritated expression. "I'm not gonna forget about this," he said.

He walked away without waiting for Szayel to say anything else.

Pink bangs covered Szayel's amber eyes, giving him a dark look.

"This is going to be fun," he chuckled quietly.

The bell rang. He had to be back in class by now.

"That is what we call a genetic mutation class," Mayuri Kurotsuchi concluded. He was teaching his science class about genetics, even though they had learned all of this long ago.

Orihime had gotten to sit by Szayel, which she was happy about. So far, he was her only real friend that actually spoke to her and was nice.

Students began to walk out of the classroom after the bell rang. It was another boring class; a teacher teaching them stuff they've known since middle school. They all excitedly left and chattered.

The auburn haired girl and the pink haired guy chatted until they reached their lockers. She checked her schedule and saw that she had gym next. Her and Szayel compared schedules, only to find that Szayel also had gym, along with the rest of the gang.

"See ya in gym," they said to eachother.

Orihime arrived in the girl's locker room and started to undress. She took off the school uniform and changed into the mandatory gym uniform. The uniform was just a grey t-shirt with the school name on the front, and black shorts that went down to the knees.

She looked around at the other girls in the locker room and spotted Halibel who was leaning against the open door with her arms crossed against her chest.

I wonder if I should say hi to her,she wondered. She thought for a moment but decided not to. She and Halibel weren't really friends, thus having no point in greeting her.

Other girls started to walk out and into the gym. Inoue followed suit. She walked past Halibel when all of a sudden she stopped her. "Inoue-san."

She turned back to face the blonde girl. "Uh, yes Halibel-san?" She said. Her stomach had butterflies in them. Something about Halibel's striking green eyes intimidated her.

Halibel uncrossed her arms and stood up off the wall. "Let's talk for a bit."

Orihime hesitated, "Um, ok."

"Come on! Get a move on out of there girls!" The gym teacher roared from the gym. The two girls left the gym and gathered in with the rest of the students.

Orihime saw Szayel waving over to her with the rest of the gang. But Halibel had other plans. She grabbed Orihime's wrist and dragged her over to a corner in the room.

Halibel brought her hand lips to Inoue's ear.

"You do know what your getting yourself into, don't you?" She whispered. She pulled back and looked into gray eyes. She let a small smile grace her features.

"Wha-" Inoue began to say.

"Hey! You two girls! Get your butts over here!" Kenpachi Zaraki, the teacher, yelled . He was standing in the center of the gym with the rest of the students sitting around him.

The two girls walked back to the center and sat by the Grimmjow and the others, who happened to have the same period gym class.

Grimmjow and Szyael were stitting by eachother, so the pink haired teen moved over a bit to let her sit in between them.

"Hello Orihime-chan!" He was happy to see her.

"Inoue," was all Grimmjow said. It sounded as if he didn't like her, but that wasn't the case at all. He sort of liked her as a friend, but not really. Although he did treat most of his friends like that.

Well, not all of them.

He treats Halibel, Stark, Szayel, and Yammy with respect. It was really just Nnoitra and Ulquiorra that irked him. Ulquiorra has a stick up his ass and Nnoitra is just a dumbass perv.

But they were both great at fighting, something than Grimmjow needed.

"Ok, well were all gonna run 5 laps around the football field with no walking what so ever." Kenpachi stated with a malicious smile plastered across his face.

Grimmjow was brought out of his thoughts with a light tap on his shoulder. Auburn hair draped down on his shoulder. Orihime was leaning over him with a grin.

"Cmon' Grimmjow-san! It's time to go outside to the field." She seemed oddly happy about this.

He got up and walked beside her out to the field.

They reached the field and stood at the beginning of the track where the white line was. Zaraki stood on the sideline of the track and had the whistle ready in his hand.

"Alright! Run all 5 laps with no walking! If I catch you walking...." He began to chuckle.

"You'll have to deal with me later on." He grinned. Nobody wanted to face Zaraki's wrath. He was the most terrifying teacher in the school.

Most students gulped, except for the gang. They all just stood their, indifferent, except for Grimmjow who had a smirk on his face.

"Now get running!" He blew the whistle, making a loud screeching noise. All of them began to run. The gang always stuck with each other no matter what. They were ahead of the rest of the students and Orihime. Or so they thought.

An orange blur shot out of the mob of teens and ran right past the gang. This happened on each lap, where the orange blur would run past them without stopping.

The gang were about to cross the finishing line when they saw Orihime already sitting on the grass. That meant she was already done. All 5. Done. She wasn't even sweating or panting.

They all hurried over to her with questions rising in their throats.

"Inoue-san how did you finish so fast?!"

"Whats your secret?"

"How did you do that?"

"Will you go out with me?"

A pause. Everyone looked at Nnoitra like he was crazy. He put his hands up near his shoulders. "What? I was bored." He arched an eyebrow and had that creepy smile on his face. That meant he didn't mean it.

Everyone just kept staring at him, much to his displeasure.

"..."

Szayel decided to break the silence with a cough. "Uh, so how did you manage to get here so fast Orihime-chan?" He adjusted his glasses.

Orihime patted the grass next to her, signaling them all to sit down from their standing positions. They all did what she asked of them.

"Well, at my old school I was in track and I hung out with many athletic people. I also enjoy running. But I guess they just rubbed of on me," she scratched the back of her head.

"So...you don't work out or anything?" Stark piped up. He was laying down on the grass lazily, staring at the clouds with Halibel by his side.

"Nope, I don't," Inoue replied.

They all sat their with their mouths open, except for Ulquiorra and Halibel.

All of a sudden Szayel grabbed Grimmjow by the shoulder.

"Hey everyone lets have a group meeting over here quickly," Szayel ushered everyone a little farther away. By this time, more students had arrived and sat down on the grass panting like a dog.

Orihime was starting to get up when Szayel called out to her. "Sorry Orihime-chan, but can you just sit over there for a few minutes? I promise it won't take long!"

"Um, ok!" She sat back down. Her mind began to wonder. I wonder what Halibel-san was talking about a few minutes ago. I also wonder what they're talking about over there. She glanced back at the gang, still curious as to what they're saying.

The gang all leaned in toward each other, curious of what Szayel had to say.

"Well, to put it simply, I think Orihime-chan should join The Espada." He inquired towards Grimmjow.

The Espada was the gangs name. It consisted of 7 members, originally 8, but one had defected a few days before Inoue had arrived. The Espada was the strongest gang in all of Hueco Mundo, the town that they resided in.

"No way! Why should I let her join?" Grimmjow whispered loudly.

"Why not let her join?! I bet she would be useful to us! Besides she's so nice! It would be a great change for all of us!" Szayel whispered back.

Grimmjow was taken aback. He really wasn't expecting the 'change' thing.

Szayel has been acting unusual since Inoue came,he thought.

He crossed his arms to his chest, "What does everyone else think about this?" He asked.

"I wouldn't mind having her with us," Halibel stated. Everyone else nodded in agreement.

"Let's have a vote! Everyone raise your hand if you want Orihime-chan to stay with us!" Szayel said as he raised his hand. Halibel did, Nnoitra did, Yammy did. Stark raised his lazily and Ulquiorra raised his with no emotion.

Everyone wanted her in.

"Alright! She can join! But if anything bad happens from this it's not my fault!" Grimmjow stood up suddenly. Szayel clapped and cheered in ecstasy, the rest just clapped quietly.

Other students were staring at them, wondering what they were so happy about. But they knew to stay out of The Espada's way. Or else they would pay for it.

Grimmjow walked over to Orihime and stopped right on front her. He leaned in towards her.

"Congrats. Your in The Espada."

Well that was chapter 2! I hope you enjoyed it! But I'm sorry if Szayel or Grimmjow or if any of the characters sounded too OOC. ^^;

But please review! :D
