Ichigo groaned and peeled his eyes open, his eyes felt itchy and raw. He didn't remember falling asleep; he remembered crying and then nothing. He rolled over and looked at the clock, it read 11:20. Pulling himself off the couch he rolled his neck to try and get the kink out of it. He stood and groaned as his knees cracked, even though he was only twenty six years old he felt a lot older. As he left the living room he yawned and ran his hands through his hair, his fingers tugged at the knots and lugs that had formed while he had been asleep. Walking into the kitchen he saw that there was a plate covered for him and he smiled, he knew that Yuzu had left it. Ichigo walked over to the counter and uncovered the plate and his mouth watered as he saw what was on the plate, roast chicken with potato's and a whole lot of vegetables. Sticking it in the oven to reheat it he lent against the counter and let his mind wander.

Over the years of being a spy he had worked with hundreds of people. But one person unparticular stuck in his mind. Tall, tanned teal haired Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, a shiver passed through his body as he thought about Grimmjow. The man was a beast, he was built like a brick shit house but Ichigo would be lying if he said he didn't feel safe when he was wrapped in his arms. They had worked together over three years ago but Ichigo could remember every single moment they spent together, he knew that the bigger man had gotten out of the spy game when they were both injured on the mission that they were on and he knew where the man lived, he liked to keep tabs on the people he cared about. Images of them wrapped around each other flashed before his eyes and he let out a shaky breath. Shaking his head he cleared the images from his mind and waited for the timer to beep on the oven. Ten minutes passed and the beep sounded, pulling the food out of the oven, he let out a sigh as he smelt the aroma of the herbs that Yuzu had used. Sitting at the table, he dug into the food until there was nothing left on the plate, leaning back he placed a hand on his stomach and let out a satisfied sigh and closed his eyes.

Shiro walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, he had been sat in his and Ichigo's shared bedroom meditating when the smell of food broke him out of it. He lent against the door frame and watched his brother as he inhaled the food and sat back satisfied. A small smile appeared on his lips as he looked at his brother, Ichigo may be younger by two hours and fifteen minutes but he acted the most mature out of the both of them. Growing up they had been inseparable, most people avoided them throughout high school, they hadn't been the best behaved students but people eventually learned not to mess with them. One of his fondest memories of them is when they both came out to each other, they had both just turned sixteen and they had realized that they both preferred men. Neither of them knew how to approach the other so when they were alone they both just turned to each other and shouted 'im gay', looked at each other and broke down laughing.

Smiling, Shiro walked over to his brother and ran his hand through Ichigo's hair causing the younger Kurosaki to stiffen. Shiro sat in the chair across from his brother and waited for his brother to open his eyes and look at him, when he did, Shiro grinned,

"Sleep well King"

"Hmm" Ichigo said and opened his eyes.

Ichigo looked at his brother who was grinning and smiled himself, he had missed his brother dearly and he wanted to know why he left so suddenly so he asked.

"Ichi you know I wouldn't have left without saying goodbye but old man Yama was pretty insistent that I left straight away. I should have left a note or something I know but I couldn't risk everyone's lives especially yours"

Ichigo rested his elbows on the table and his head in his hands, "You were gone for a year and a half Shi, I didn't know if you were alive. One word was all I needed, just one"

"I know King, but im back now I promise"

Ichigo just nodded, not trusting his voice, he suddenly felt exhausted even though he had slept for hours. Lifting his head from his hands he looked at his brother who just stared back at him, his eyes looking a little bit red, Ichigo sighed and reached over, placing his hand over his brothers that was resting on the table he gave it a squeeze, the small affectionate action caused Shiro to smile. They spent the rest of the night catching up until they decided to call it a night at 5:30 in the morning.

Ichigo arrived at his home a little past half three in the afternoon, he showered and dressed in his usual attire, taking two stairs at a time, he walked into his living room as he was about sit down his phone beeped and saw that there was a text of Kisuke telling him that he needed to meet him. Sending one back saying that he was on his way, he grabbed his jacket and left the house. When he met up with Kisuke he noticed that the man looked exhausted. The blonde man didn't give Ichigo time to speak when he said,

"Yamamoto's dead"

Ichigo felt his heart plummet into his stomach, the breath that he took got lodged in his throat and he choked on it,

"W-what" he managed to get out.

"Last night around ten thirty, Yamamoto was tortured and then killed" Kisuke's eyes locked with his "there saying that it was you"

White noise appeared in his ears, he could see Kisuke's mouth moving but he couldn't hear what he was saying, he was brought back when Kisuke grabbed his arms.

"Ichigo, you need to run, I know that it wasn't you but people are going to be hunting you now, you need to get some cash and gear together and run do you understand"

Ichigo nodded numbly and ran back to his home when Kisuke gave him a push to go. He slammed his door shut and ran up his stairs taking two at a time. He grabbed a duffle bag and shoved what ever clothes he grabbed into it. He walked into his wardrobe and pushed aside some of the remaining clothes uncovering a safe, he put in the combination and grabbed all his cash and some of the hand guns and ammunition that was in there too. A glint of black caught his eye and he reached out and grabbed his sword, he hadn't used it since his second year of being a spy, it was easily recognizable. He stood and quickly looked around the room, seeing if there was anything else that he needed when he saw there wasn't the ran down the stairs, as he reached his door he could hear cars pulling up outside and he looked through the window. Seeing that he was clearly outnumbered about ten to one he decided that he wanted to live and left out of the back door.

Taking back alleyway's and back roads Ichigo reached his destination, he really didn't want to ask for help but he knew that he could trust this person impeccably. He didn't want to drag this person back into the life but he had nowhere else to go. He couldn't go to Shiro because even though his brother would know that he was innocent, he would have to take him in anyway. And there was no way in hell that he would get his father involved not a chance in hell. So he took a deep breath and jogged across the road towards his destination. When he reached the house that he wanted, he steeled himself and knocked on the door. A shudder ran through his body as he heard the gruff voice telling him that he was coming, when the door opened he couldn't help but smirk at the look of shock on the other man's face, scratching the back of his head he said,

"Hello Grimmjow"

Grimmjow blinked as he saw Ichigo stood in front of him, the man was still as good looking as he was when he last saw him. There were subtle changes such as the longer hair and he had filled out a little bit more. Doing a quick assessment of is surroundings he flicked his eyes back towards Ichigo and saw that the man seemed on edge, without thinking he stepped aside and let the slighter man into his home without question. He took a deep breath when Ichigo brushed against him and the smell of vanilla invaded his senses, he shut the door and followed Ichigo into his home. He had dreamt about this for along time but now that it seemed real he began to doubt it. Taking a deep breath Grimmjow said,

"Wha ya doin ere Ichi"

Ichigo looked at him and said," I wouldn't come to you if I didn't have another choice, I know that your out of the game and have been since the incident but you're the only person that I could turn to" Ichigo said quickly, "you see the thing is old man Yamamoto is dead and ive been framed for killing him"

Grimmjow blinked and he could see the anger and a slight hint of fear in the chocolate pools, he could tell that Ichigo was begging him to believe him and Grimmjow did, he knew that he had to do something to help Ichigo even though they hadn't seen each other in three years, he had always felt something for the orange haired man but they hadn't been able to work out what it was before they were both injured and lost contact with each other but it seemed that Ichigo had known where he lived but didn't contact him out of respect and that he was out of the game, without another thought he walked towards the other man and placed a hand on the side of Ichigo's face and the other man leaned into the touch like he did all them years ago and Grimmjow said,

"I gotcha back Ichi, always"
