(Edit: What the hell is up with my hands writing 'plain' instead of 'plane'? I think I'm going to cut them off.. Would serve them right, HAH!)

Finally, a chapter! And: my finals are over! *does the Ikkaku-lucky-dance* I know I fucked up math, but I don't care.. I hate math from the bottom of my poor heart, so.. .

And I'm sorry it took so long for me to write this chapter.. No other excuses than that goddamn school. OTL But now it's over, so~
I hope the length of this ch will make up for it a little? Just a little bit.. :)

Warnings: Bad language, stupidity, typos and grammatical errors and something drastic and sad is about to happen..
Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach.

In this chappy we'll finally get to invade other character's heads to hear about their thoughts as well! Sometimes just to get another opinion on things or to see what to expect from a certain character in the later chapters (=how I'm going to make them act in this fic). Sometimes the story actually goes forward while I'm harassing somebody else's poor mind. Ichigo's will still be the main POV but I'll make short (or a little longer) visits to others.. And when I do so, I'll let you now~ AND if there's no mention whose POV it is (after that grey line-thingy), then it's the same point of view than in the previous part.

Anyway, let's start. Enjoy :)

Chapter 3: The price of negligence

Ichigo's POV

"Oh just shut up already, Rukia.." I groaned as I lounged on a sofa in one of our favorite cafés in Karakura. It was nice and small, the atmosphere there was welcoming and their café lattes were out of this world. Well actually the main reason why we always came here was that Renji wanted to see the waiter, who was a cute green-haired girl.

It was warm and sunny, the ideal weather basically, but deep in my mind there was dark and stormy as hell.

It was the day after the one when I was forced to jump out of a plain for the first time. Yeah I know we were supposed to meet in the same day, but Rukia called Renji and told that her beloved nii-sama had told her to attend to this meeting they were about to have. Apparently it concerned a part of the Kuchiki co, Sode no Shirayuki, which was one day going to be led by Rukia. Good for her, she's going to swim in money. Well she was rich already as the Kuchiki family in general was wealthy as hell. By the way, I know she almost worships his big brother, but still.. Nii-sama? Seriously.

So here I was, surrounded by cackling laughter, wearing a huge scowl on my face, as usual. Renji and Rukia found the story of my previous day extremely amusing. Well Renji's laugh stopped abruptly when I told about Rangiku's huge ass breasts and her habit of trying to suffocate people with them. The fucker was jealous. Oh I would have rubbed it into his face if I wouldn't have disliked Rangiku's actions so much. Rukia found my story and Renji's reaction funny whereas I sure as hell didn't so in my opinion this whole thing is pure shit. But I guess I deserve it, because.. Wait. Now that I think about it properly.. No, I fucking don't deserve this. My friends are just being assholes at the moment. No, they're always assholes.

Rukia wiped tears of pure joy from her eyes as she finally stopped laughing. She sighed contently, then looked at me suggestively and cleared her voice.

"So.. Did anything else happen? You know, like.. Were there any nice looking girls besides Rangiku..? Or guys?" There she went again, laughing her ass off. She was obsessed with yaoi and I, of course, was the one to suffer from it. I haven't told them about the episodes with Grimmjow and I sure as hell am not going to. Ever. I could imagine the gleam in that woman's eyes and the devilish smile the information would create. I shuddered. No way, I'm not going to tell. Besides, it's not like there's anything to tell about, he was just.. I relived the moment in Grimmjow's office. His words and expressions hit me again like a train. "I'll let ya slip this time, but next time ya might not be so lucky." Hmm, yeah nice. I'm screwed.

Later that day we went to kill some time at a local park. It was a nice evening, so all three of us decided not to go home yet. Once we got there Rukia spotted a big tree and declared that she wanted to climb to it. Both Renji and I rolled our eyes but followed her anyway.

The park was located near a lake, so we had a nice view of the sunset. Renji and Rukia were talking about something trivial whereas I just enjoyed the moment. Even though I always scowled and yelled at my friends, the truth was that I really loved them. In a friendly and manly way, of course. It was nice just to lie on the grass, listening to birds as they sang and just feel the light wind caressing your skin. My mind was light and I felt content.

My happytime was interrupted when I heard Rukia squealing so loud that it hurt my ears. I rolled to my stomach to see what was happening and actually let a faint smile tug up my lips. Renji was pulling Rukia's leg to get her down from the tree, probably to get revenge on something Rukia had said. I decided not to interfere and shifted my eyes to look at the lake and the beautiful sunset, which was coloring the sky with different shades of red, orange and pink.

I followed two persons as they walked along the coastline, holding hands. Well wasn't that sappy or what. I couldn't tell who they were because of the sunlight behind them made their figures black as a shadow. My eyes kept absently following them until something woke my interest in one of the two figures. If I saw right, it looked like the other would have had a sword or something. I blinked my eyes to get rid of the blurriness and looked again. Yeah, it still looked like a sword.

"Hey, you two, look at those two over there" I pointed my finger at the right direction.

Renji stopped his tickle-attack on Rukia to look at where my finger was pointing. Rukia was still giggling but turned her head to the same direction as well.

"Yeah, what about them?" Renji asked when I didn't say anything but just kept pointing my finger.

"Huh? Oh yeah, tell me, doesn't it look like the other would have a sword or something with him?" It was a he, that I was able to tell. But about the other one.. I wasn't so sure. Might be a feminine he or a she, who knows?

"Oh, it really looks like it, cool" Renji said with a grin. Rukia just glanced at the red-haired man and then shifted her gaze back at the two lovebirds.

"Isn't that kind of a mood spoiler? I mean, if you were having a romantic dinner with somebody, who would suddenly start to run around with gun.. I don't know. But still, to me that's somewhat weird." Rukia thought aloud.

I hummed in agreement and kept looking at the man with the sword. Somehow he reminded me of somebody, but I couldn't tell who. Renji and Rukia shifted their attentions to somewhere else but I was still bothered with the sword dude. Just when I was going to let it be a thought hit me.

"Fuck!" I abruptly got to my feet and started to walk towards the shore.

"Oi, Ichigo, where the hell are you going?" Renji yelled after me but I didn't answer. If only my conjecture is right..

I felt like a ninja when I crouched behind a bush to get a better look at the two without being noticed. But of course I managed to step on a branch which made a loud cracking sound. I held my breath hoping I wasn't detected. As if.

"Yeah yeah, Ichigo you can come out of the fucking bush. I saw your sorry ass already when you tried to sneak down here."

Shit. I felt heat creeping its way on my face and knew that I had gained a massive blush. Oh man, this is embarrassing. I stood up and took a good look at the two. Even though I already had a hunch who they were, my jaw still dropped a bit when I recognized the two as Ikkaku and Yumi. The one mentioned later stared at me with a pleasant smile.

"Oh, nice to see you Ichigo. But I'd like to know what were you doing in that bush?" Just the question I wanted to answer.

"Well I just.." I trailed off when I realized I didn't have any believable excuse for my idiotic actions. I just stared like a fucking moron and waited for death to end my misery.

Well death didn't come but Renji did and Rukia was running after him.

"Ichigo, what the hell?" Renji asked as he reached my side. Yeah, ask a little more about this already awkward situation you goddamn bastard! I didn't answer, which was obvious. At least to me.

Rukia, however, turned out to be my savior as she took the attention away from me. "Who are you guys? Do you know Ichigo?" She asked and every now and then glanced at the (turned out to be) wooden sword, which Ikkaku was carrying.

Ikkaku tore his eyes off of my humiliated face and looked at Rukia with a wide grin.

"Yeah we know the Berry. He's the newest addition to our skydiving club. Poor guy" He laughed and threw an arm around Yumichika's shoulders. Yumi smiled at Rukia and nodded.

That got my attention. "Hey wait, I'm not a part of your fucking club or anything. It's supposed to be a skydiving class or something, right? Where you jump a couple of times and then that's it."

Ikkaku's grin faltered a little and then he threw his head back with a cackling laughter. That bastard, what the fuck was so funny about what I said? Yumi turned his head to the side and giggled and then looked back at me.

"Oh, is that what Grimmjow told you? You filled some papers right? Did you read what was written in them?" He asked with an amused tint to his voice.

My face paled. What? I was about to say my thought aloud but didn't have the chance as Yumi continued.

"You, my dear Ichigo, are a full member of our club. There's no such thing as a school or class or whatever in KASKY. That's why we don't have the simulator either. And that's why you were forced to jump with Grimmjow. The reason though why Grimmjow took you in the club, when you don't have any experience in skydiving, is unclear to me."

"What? W-what the fuck, that grinning bastard, what the hell his name was.. Ichimaru, or something, talked about us being classmates when I first met him! He didn't say anything that there's no such thing!" I yelled in confusion. Oh fuck there's no way I could be a member to that fucking club or whatever they called it.

Ikkaku kept laughing and Yumi giggled. "You believe Gin? Oh, poor you" I felt hopeless. I turned to my friends to see that devilish glint in Rukia's eyes. Urgh, now what.

"Did he.. umm.." Rukia looked at Yumi, silently asking his name.

"Oh, forgive my rudeness, my name is Yumichika and this is Ikkaku" Yumi said between giggles. I was planning different ways to kill both of them. It would be a slow and painful death.

Rukia's face brightened for a second in acknowledgement only to take that smirking expression again, which didn't promise anything good for me. She turned towards me.

"So, did Yumichika just tell me that you didn't jump alone? That you jumped tandem? With another man?"

Oh not this..

"Rukia, what the hell" I groaned and turned my head away. Ikkaku wanted to deepen my awkwardness and was about to make good progress in it. He seemed to understand why Rukia was so interested about the fact that I had been tied to another man.

"Oh yeah he jumped with our unofficial leader, Grimmjow. Damn he is a good looking guy, let me say that. And he seems to have taken a liking to our Ichi" He stared right into my wide eyes as he said those words.

"What? WHAT? Oh shut up baldy, you don't know what you're dealing with!" I fumed at ikkaku. He seriously didn't. When that woman saw anything that had something to do with that yaoi-shit, she would turn into a fangirl-beast. Then an idea hit me. I smirked. Damn, this was going to save me.

"Hmm, Rukia, you do know that Ikkaku and yumi are a couple, right?" Rukia's head snapped towards me and then to the two fucktards in front of us. I sighed. How stupid can she be? They were walking on the beach, holding hands and everything and.. My thoughts were cut off when a fist was slammed to my shoulder. I yelped at the pain it caused.

"Idiot, of course I knew! I have eyes!" Rukia shouted and then smiled smugly. "And I was having an inner fangirl-moment before I heard that my beloved friend might also have something going on. Tell me, Ichigo, why didn't you tell us that you jumped tandem? Do you have something to hide?"

Okay, now what. How can I explain why I might have left some parts untold from my story.. If I tell the truth, hell will come on earth. If I try to change the subject, I won't even have to tell anything about Grimmjow, she'd figure it out herself. And then hell would come on earth anyway.

I shrugged and turned my red face away. "Dunno, guess I just forgot. It's not important considering the whole picture, so.." I hoped that would satisfy her and at the same time cursed my never-ending tendency to blush.

Rukia was quiet for a moment and then when she was about to open her mouth, I cut her off before she could say a word.

"You know Rukia, don't. Just don't." Without saying anything else, I turned away and walked away, leaving my friends and those two behind. I hate beaches and sunsets and stuff.

It was getting dark so I decided to walk home. After I left those bastards behind, Renji tried to call me. I ignored his call. Then he sent me a text, telling me he was sorry for everything. I ignored his text message. I'm so tired of this already.

Besides, what the hell am I going to do with that club thing? Is a situation like this even possible? Is it possible to just drop out? Then again I will be forced to pay for it, so maybe I should just suck it up and keep going there until I feel like I can stop without having thoughts about wasting money for nothing. But I think that the membership will be so expensive (yeah, I didn't read the fucking paper, so I don't know) that I'll be forced to jump many times and I'm not sure if I'm able to maintain my mental stability when surrounded by those dickheads. And especially by that one blue-haired asshole, who keeps harassing me.

I sighed and kicked a tin can as I walked along an empty road. I'm too young to deal with this shit. Or too lazy.

The air was humid and it seemed that it was going to rain soon so I hastened my walk. Where went the nice warm wind and the birds and all? Down the toilet, like my good mood.

As I reached our front door I stopped and took a deep breath. My dad was the most fucked up person there was. He fucking attacks his own son! And I knew he was in there, getting ready to kick my face in. But I happened to be a quite good fighter (due to my dad and the many fights in school because of my damned hair color) so I knew that the one getting beaten up was not going to be me. But it still demanded concentration because I didn't know where he would attack.

My scowl deepened and I opened the door only to slam it back closed as I saw a glimpse of my dad running towards me. Fuck, I really don't want to deal with this right now. Goatface slammed against the door and cried out something about his son being so cruel. I huffed and opened the door again. There he was on the floor clutching to his nose, which was bleeding.

"Ichigo, my son.. umpf!" I kicked him to his side, stepped over him and walked away.

"Yuzu, Karin! I'm going to my room, don't disturb me, okay?" I shouted over my shoulder as I walked up the stairs. "Okay. Oh, but do you want something to eat first?" Yuzu's head popped from the living room. I smiled and waved her off. "No need, good night Yuzu"

Her smile faltered and she looked down for a second until she lifted her eyes back to look at me. Then she ran to me and wrapped her little arms around my waist. I chuckled and ruffled her hair.

"Good night, onii-chan" With that she once again smiled at me and then went back to the living room.

I don't know how Yuzu is able to keep that cheerful personality of hers but I'm so glad that she does. Our mother died a long time ago and now she has taken over the position of a mother. For example she almost always cooks our meals. Everybody does offer their help to her, but she refuses to have any. And it seems that she likes to cook, so I guess it's okay. I still hope that she won't overdo it.. She's so young after all.

I walked to my room and closed the door. With a prolonged sigh I dropped onto my bed and buried my face into a pillow. I just want to sleep and ponder over everything tomorrow. I was too tired to even change my clothes so I just lay on my bed, waiting for sweet sleep to take me away. If Yuzu knew, she would scold me. I smiled warmly into the pillow and then drifted off to sleep.

Gin's POV

For a creative mind like mine, being bored is the worst punishment. Normally I can come up with different ways to amuse myself, but oddly enough it seems that everybody at KASKY keep avoiding me or act overall cautiously when I enter the scene. I can't understand why it is like this. I thought that maybe I smell bad. To test my hypothesis, I once hid a fish under my shirt to see if it would create a different reaction.

Well okay, I just wanted to see how uncomfortable the others would become. With a serious face I visited everybody and made sure to lean close, so that the smell of the fish would make it to their noses. Grimmjow's reaction was the funniest, even though I thought he'd like fish since he reminds me of a cat. And cats like fish, don't they? Still, I didn't know his face could twist so much.

After I had milked every drop of amusement from my idea, I really had to take the shirt off. It smelled like death and it was starting to get harder to breathe when wearing it. Though I still wanted to do something with it so later I hid the smelling shirt (and the fish) into Yumichika's locker.

It took days to get the smell away from the building. Today I'm not allowed to bring any food to the club area. I didn't get an answer to my original question, but I did learn that Grimmjow doesn't act like an average cat would. Maybe I should bring him a ball of yarn and see what happens.

But the last time I arrived to the KASKY grounds, a flash of bright orange met my eyes. I was delighted: a new member. And after I learned that he was forced to come here, I was even more delighted. When I noticed that he was easily embarrassed and blushed easily, I took the time to dance a happydance in my head.

This young boy would bring some light to my days every time I come here.

I immediately started to think different ways to play around with our newest member. As I once wandered around the building, trying to get ideas, my eyes landed on the air conditioning system.

No, I couldn't use it anymore. I once put tear gas in it because I was curious about how fast a person would react to the gas. And what would it look like to an outsider. It wasn't easy to get the gas into the air conditioning system without being detected and it took some careful planning. But it was well worth it. The others didn't seem to appreciate my practice of entertainment but luckily they didn't have any proof that it was me… until Ikkaku found my gasmask from my locker. I ended up running, fast.

Afterwards Grimmjow threatened me to "stop screwing around with the members or I'll cut yer throat!" So boring, ne?

But now with this Ichigo around, I think I can have some fun. I want to see what kind of situations I can put him into. Besides, Grimmjow haven't said a word about him (he came in after his threat), so I won't get in trouble even if I tease him a little. I wonder what would make him the most uncomfortable… Today the members were about to come here again, so I'm going to see that orange-haired youth. Maybe I should play with him today. What should I do..

Then a light bulb lit above my head. For this to work, I need to keep my ears and eyes sharp to catch the right moment. I wonder where I have put my camera… I'd like to take a picture of Ichigo's reaction.

I walked to my locker and rummaged through it to find my camera. It should be around here somewhere. Or maybe I should just take Rangiku's and tell that it has gone missing if she asks something.. Then I'll return it someday. She won't mind.

Rangiku's POV

Oh, did you see that lovely new boy? He's such a cutie! The first reaction I had when I saw him was that I want to stuff him into a bottle and put him in my bookshelf. And then I could take him out of it whenever I want and cuddle with him! And if he'd try to escape I'd just put him back into the bottle and forbid him from any food for a day.

It isn't considered illegal, is it? Because, in my opinion, everybody has the right to decorate their house like they please, right? And of course I'd remember to dust his bottle so that he'd have a clear view out…and so that I'd have a clear view in..

And I have to make him drink with us sometime! I believe that deep down Ichigo has the urge to do the naughty with me and that's why he wouldn't want to stop staring at my perfect self, but out of politeness he keeps his hands and eyes away.

When I first met him I thought I'd give him a peek at what could be his for a night as I hugged him tightly, but his morals didn't allow him to act the way he would have wanted. Well there were others around us, so maybe that was the reason. So a little bit of sake might bring out his true nature.

I can't wait.

I giggled at my own thoughts as I walked towards our small club building. I wonder if Gin is here already. I can't understand how he is able to be everywhere so early. I, on the other hand, am almost always late, but in a classy way of course. It's not that I'm lazy or anything, I just want to take my time on things. This time my manicure ended earlier than usually, so I decided to come here.

I opened the door and stepped in.

"Gin? Are you here?" No answer so I started to look for him. As I got to the room where our lockers were, Gin walked towards me, fixing his shirt.

"How come yer 'ere so early, Rangiku?" He sang and stopped in front of me when he couldn't get past because I was blocking his way.

"My manicure ended so.. Gin, what were you doing?" I suddenly asked as I studied his grinning face. We were old friends so I had a hunch every time he was up to something, even though he was extremely hard to read.

Gin looked at me and his smile got wider.

"Wha' do ya mean? Nothin', I was just tryin' to get past ya 'cause this room's got a funny vibe to it" With that he slipped past me and padded away. I just stared at his back, wondering where he might be going but didn't ask. He wouldn't answer anyway.

I turned around and took my locker's key from between my breasts. As I was going to open my locker, my eyes shifted to the table where my camera should be. It wasn't there. How is this possible, I'm sure I left it there last time.

I ran out of the room and got a glimpse of Gin's retreating back before it disappeared outside. I followed him and put my head out of the door.

"Gin! My camera isn't on the table. Do you happen to know where it is?" I shouted to him. Gin stopped on his tracks and stayed still for a moment. Then he turned slowly and looked at me through his slitted eyes.

"Maa, Rangiku, how should I know? Ya shouldn' be so careless of yer own things" He waved his hand and turned around to walk away.

I pouted and was about to argue but decided not to. Now that Gin went somewhere, I was alone. Maybe I should help the others and start packing our things. No, I think I'll go take a nap on the couch and wait for someone else to come here and do the job. Hopefully that 'someone' would be the cute orange head..

Ichigo's POV

Here I was again, standing in front of the Karakura Skydiving –club's building. I'm going to kill that blue-haired fucktard. Why didn't he say anything to me, when I was filling the papers, that I was actually joining a fucking club?

I huffed in agitation and kicked a rock. I started making my way towards the front door.

I really hope that Yumi ja Ikkaku will keep their mouths shut about the day before yesterday. I don't really look forward to being humiliated by my failed ninja-spy-moves back then. I'm not in the mood for that.

I took my phone out from my pocket to check the time. The background image reminded me of my idiot friends. Renji called me again yesterday and I decided to stop acting like a ten-year-old brat and answered the phone. Nothing special about the call, I called him an asshole and he said he was sorry. The thing is I don't know why he was the one to apologize; he had been the only one who didn't get involved in that tandem-crap talk. The reason why I still called him an asshole was because he, in general, was one.

I was just going to open the door to go in to the building when a hand on my shoulder stopped me. I looked behind me and the sight of that grinning face scared the shit out of me.

"Oh my, I was just goin' in 'n wha' do I find.." He cooed.

I just looked at him with disgust and didn't respond.

"That look on yer face, it's hurtin' my feelings, ya know" He cocked his head, keeping his hand on my shoulder.

"Oh, well that's just too bad for you" I slapped his hand off and turned around to open the door. I didn't want to have a fucking conversation with this creepy-ass man.

This time he didn't try to stop me but as I walked I could tell he was following me. It was getting on my nerves.

"What? Why are you following me?" I asked and emphasized my frustration by throwing my hands up in the air.

"Followin'? I'm just goin' to the basement to feed my sex slaves." He grinned and opened his eyes a little to show his icy blue eyes. Even though I have seen his eyes once before, they still make me gape at their cold color… No, wait. What did he say? And what did I just think?

"Huh?" I looked at him with wide eyes before it sunk in what he had said. Okay now I feel stupid. My face was nice and red as I turned around and left. There wasn't even a goddamn basement in here.

Gin's POV

This was going to be so good. I smiled widely as I watched Ichigo's retreating back as he stomped away from me. Now he was agitated enough to be an easy target.

I put my hand on Rangiku's camera, which was under my shirt, as I went to put everything ready for the main event and chuckled as I went.

Everyone was already putting their equipment together. Ichigo was sitting on the sofa as Grimmjow had told him that he didn't need to do anything this time either. Perfect.

I raised my head and glanced around. Everything seemed to be like it should be.

"Ichigo?" I called him with a singing voice. His head snapped towards me but he didn't respond to me. I still knew I had gained his attention.

"I was thinkin' if ya could do me a favor. I forgot my gloves in the closet at the end of the corridor. Ya mind getting' them fer me?" I smiled sincerely but I think that he won't buy my faked innocence.

"Why the fuck don't you go and get them yourself?" He only snapped at me. He seemed to be mad at me. I have no idea why..

"Maa, I really can't jump without my gloves. Ya don't wanna take my enjoyment from me now do ya?" I whined and tore off my usual grin to replace it with a pout

"What?" Ichigo stared at my pitiful face and then sighed. "Fucking idiot" He mumbled as he got up from the couch. As he disappeared behind the corner, I got up from the floor and followed quietly behind him. Rangiku gave me a look but I just waved her off with the widest grin ever. I think my cheeks are going into a cramp.

I peeked behind the corner to catch Ichigo wandering along the corridor. Aw, how cute, he was really trying to find the right closet to get me my gloves, which actually didn't even exist.

I took Rangiku's camera under my shirt and tiptoed closer. His back was towards me so he didn't see me.

Ichigo's POV

I scratched the back of my neck. That fucking prick. Making others run around fetching his stuff. Besides, I don't recall seeing him with gloves. But then again, I try to avoid him as much as I can so it's possible that I just haven't noticed them. The gloves I mean.

I stopped in front of a door. It seems to be the last door in the end of this corridor so I guess it's the right one. I grabbed the door knob and opened the door.

The sight that welcomed me pierced my brain and made me comatose for a few seconds.

Ikkaku was sitting on a table, leaning back on his hands, growling and grunting lustfully. My eyes went wide as I saw something moving back and forth in his lap. Yumi was kneeling between Ikkaku's legs and was at the moment deep throating Ikkaku and making the bigger man moaning his name.

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

"I.. I'm.. Oh shit" My face was burning and went even redder as Ikkaku slowly turned his half lidded eyes towards me. That was it.

"I'm s-sorry" I stuttered and turned around to close the door when my eyes were assaulted with a bright light.

"What the..?" I threw my hands in front of my face and took a step backwards. I heard a hearty laugh and instantly recognized the voice.

"Gin! You fucking bastard I'm going to snap you in half!" I roared and started running after him.

"Oh my, such harsh words!" He sang while he hurtled towards the front door. He was pretty fast. I guess he has been doing this before – running away I mean.

"Look Rangiku, I found yer camera!" He shouted over his shoulder and waved the mentioned thing in his hand. Rangiku's head shot up and she smiled. Huh? It was a fucking photoflash that made me almost blind? Wait, so he took a picture of me? My anger was multiplied by nine thousand.

"You fucking cock sucker, I'm going to smash that camera to your head!" I fumed and picked up my speed, but was stopped when a hand grabbed my arm.

"What..? Oi, OI!"

Gin's POV

It had worked like a dream. And Rangiku played her part perfectly – even though she didn't know she had one.

"Hands.. AAR! B-OOBS OFF!" I heard Ichigo scream behind me.

"Oh no cutie~ That is my camera and you're not going to break it." Rangiku whined and supposedly had Ichigo in a nice headlock – between her breasts. Don't ask me, I don't know how she does it but when she does, there's no chance of getting away. I know it, I have experienced it.

I laughed openly as I got out from the building and shut the door behind me, silencing the yells that came from inside.

I knew that closet was Ikkaku and Yumi's place. So when Ikkaku got that pervy expression on his face and suddenly they both vanished, I knew it was time to put my prank in action.

The grin on my face stretched to impossible widths as I looked at the picture I took. Ichigo's face was priceless. I knew he was going to brighten up my day.

My feet took me to a big rock and I climbed on it and sat down.

I think I'm going to print this out and frame it. Then I'll hang it on the wall where Ichigo will see it every time he comes in.

Ichigo's POV

"Don't just come like that and try to kill me with those..those.." I shrieked but abruptly went silent as I heard a loud crash. Automatically my head turned to the direction where the voice came.

"I just don't get along with that bitch!" Grimmjow fumed as he entered the room. Bitch? Who was he talking about, Rangiku was right behind me so..?

Rangiku leaned closer to me and whispered to my ear. "It's Soifon again" And then giggled when I jerked away from her. I can't help it, it's a reflex.

Grimmjow was scowling fiercely and a menacing aura surrounded him. Nobody had the nerve to ask what had happened between him and the fiery pilot. He sat down on the sofa and sighed loudly, running his hands through his blue hair. Then he suddenly raised his head and locked eyes with me. His whole face stretched as it was taken over by a wide grin.

"C'mere" He waved his index finger in front of his face, beckoning me to come to him.

"Huh? Why?" I asked stupidly. Why did he always wear that damn grin?

"Because I have something for ya to do. S'not like ya can always just sit around watching others" Well, he had a point. I raised an eyebrow, silently asking him to continue.

"We'll go help that one fucking moron with her plane. She keeps whining about some shit and I don't wanna listen to it alone. So yer gonna suffer with me." He got up from the sofa and started walking towards the front door. "Ya coming?" He asked and looked at me over his shoulder. I just nodded and followed him.

Maybe, just maybe he could act like a normal human being.

"What? Hell no I'm going to get up on your shoulders" I don't care if one or two of the plain's lights don't work but this is a definite no. End of the conversation.

Grimmjow just glanced at me and then sighed. "Well I guess it's okay if the police starts to compl.." I interrupted him by throwing my hands up and yelled "Okay okay, fine.." My voice got lower and a smirk crept up on my face. It's not bad if I screw around a little, right?

"Kneel down." Grimmjow's grin faltered because of my strict order and he looked at me with wide eyes. I didn't think I'll ever see him like that.

"The Berry wants me to go down on my knees? I wouldn't have guessed ya had a pervy side to ya, but I think I like it." He was again smiling widely as he walked in front of me and kneeled. I laughed a little.

"Now remember this. This is the way you should act whenever I'm around." I think I'm beginning to learn how to handle him.

"Yeah? Being humble in front of my master?" He joked and looked at me from the ground.

"Bastard. But yeah." I laughed as I placed my hands on his head and sat on his shoulders. Grimmjow grabbed my thighs and carefully stood up. "Ya okay?" He asked as he got all the way up. I just hummed in response.

"Guess that's a yes" He said and walked closer to the old plane.

While I was changing the broken led lamps, a thought hit me. It actually made me a bit annoyed. No, a lot annoyed.

"Hey, when I signed that one paper last time, what did I actually agree to?" I asked as I was fumbling with the tiny light bulbs. The bigger man under me kept quiet so I continued.

"Because, you see, I heard somewhere that there is no such thing as a class or school or whatever here. That I actually joined your club as a permanent member. I really do hope, for your own health, that this is not true." I actually succeeded to sound threatening, usually I failed miserably at it.

Grimmjow cleared his throat. "Well.. Where did you hear that?" Was he nervous? Whoa..

"It's not important. But the thing is that you and Gin were both bullshitting me and it pisses me off. I sure as hell didn't want to join a club or anything. Besides, why the hell did you want me to join your stupid club when I don't even have any experience in skydiving?" My anger was starting to get the better of me.

The blue-haired bastard actually looked up at me and, to my surprise, he looked really confused.

"Gin? What the hell does he have to do with this?" Huh? They weren't both in this?

"What? He was the first one I met here and when I started to talk to him about this class he just said that we'd be classmates or something. He didn't correct me, so I thought.." I trailed off. I really did think these two fucktards were together behind this.

"I didn't talk to him about this.. But to think that he actually thought the same thing as me." He barked a laugh. "Interesting, I'm starting to like him more!" Then his face went serious, almost angry. "As long as he's not competition.."

"Hey, don't try to change the subject you fucking idiot" I hit him in the head, making him grunt at the sudden pain. I chose to ignore his previous words about competition.

"Guess I deserved that..." He moved his hand to rub the sore spot before grabbing my leg once again.

"You sure as hell did. How are you going to make this up to me? Now I'm forced to come here who knows how many times. " I huffed in my anger and frustration. Grimmjow just shrugged and then looked at me, his eyes full with twisted amusement.

"Well that was kinda the idea behind this. I'm so fucking glad ya didn't read the paper. When I saw ya for the first time I instantly decided that yer gonna join our club – whether ya like it or not" He grinned smugly. So he was actually proud of his actions? I can't believe he can be such a fucking jerk..

"So you really are not even trying to explain yourself out of this shit? I think I want to kill you." Maybe I should break one if these tiny bulbs and try to slice his throat with it.

"Why should I? When there's a fine piece of ass coming to us – to me, it's fucking natural for me to want to get my hands to it." He was actually being serious about this.

I stared the back of his head in disbelief. Even though I had known him only for a short period of time, I knew he was a fucking ass. But for him to be such an ass… For a brief moment I had thought he could act more like a normal person. That I could actually talk to him without him instantly trying to harass me. I felt a little disappointed, to tell the truth. He deceived me into joining their fucking club and he was actually proud of it? And I was such an idiot to fall for it. Or maybe I was just overreacting? No, I don't think so.

I angrily pushed myself off of his shoulders. "What the fuck do you want from me, huh? I fucking loathe you!" I roared as I turned to leave but was stopped by a hand on my arm.

Rage flared inside of me and I tried to swat his hand away with an angry yell, but instead I was thrown against the fuselage of the plane. I winced when my back slammed against the hard material and slumped a little. Grimmjow walked in front of me and looked down on me, his face looking serious but his cyan eyes were glinting with something else, I couldn't tell what it was.

"Yer asking me what I want form ya? Are ya acting stupid or.." He was cut off by a female's voice yelling from behind the plane.

"Grimmjow Jaegerjaques!" The blue-haired man's lip curled in a snarl and he tore his eyes off of me to face the woman calling his name. I frowned and looked at his back. What the hell was the fucktard about to say…

"What?" He yelled in rage towards the direction of the female voice and spread out his hands for emphasis.

It was the pilot. Soifon, was it? She walked to Grimmjow and stared at him with narrowed eyes. "Are the lights working again?"

"Yes, they are. Now, would ya just fuck off, I had something important going on here." He glanced at me and I scowled at him.

"No, I won't. There's something about the engine that should be fixed. I only came here to tell you to call Starrk so that he can come here. I won't even bother to ask for you to look at it since you're such an inefficient wimp." Her eyes bore holes through Grimmjows head and if his posture was any indication, he was also furious as fuck. Actually I don't even have to look at his posture to know that he's so pissed off that he could shit sticks.

"Ya can shove yer problems up yer ass for all I care. I don't have time to listen yer bitching. As I told before; fuck off. No actually.." Grimmjow bellowed and then turned to me. "Get up, Berry" He gestured me to get on my feet. I actually hadn't noticed that I had sat down. Not feeling the urge to argue at the moment, I stood up and raised an eyebrow in silent question.

My question was answered as Grimmjow suddenly grabbed my arm and started to drag me away from the beast of a woman. Why do I feel like I've lived this dragging-scenario before…?

I pulled my hand away from his grasp, making him turn to me. I scowled at him. "You know I can walk by myself. You don't have to guide me." I grumbled and averted his gaze.

"Ya wouldn't have followed me if I had asked ya to and ya know it." He stated and continued to walk towards the club building. I rolled my eyes but kept walking behind him.

We didn't get far when suddenly Rangiku ran to us, waving her hand furiously above her head. Grimmjow stopped walking and I, deep in my own thoughts, almost succeeded to bump into his back.

"Why the hell are ya running like that?" Grimmjow asked. He seemed to have calmed down a little from his anger. I wonder how long it will last until he's roaring again.

Rangiku stopped in front of him and breathed heavily. "I.. I just.." She was out of breath. Can't blame her; try to run with those boobs attached to your body and see if you are out of breath.

Grimmjow was getting annoyed once again. "Yeah? Ya what?" He tapped his foot against the ground.

The two breasts, which had a woman grown behind them, took a deep breath and then straightened her posture. "Gin told me that he'd seen a weather forecast, which told that in about three hours it would start raining quite a lot. So if and when we're going to jump today, we should hurry.

I glanced at Grimmjow, who was now frowning and rubbing his chin. Even though my fear of heights wasn't as bad as it was, I didn't want to be midair when it would start pouring down.

Grimmjow met my gaze and pointed a finger at me. "We will have our conversation, Berry"

With that he started jogging towards the worn out building and yelled: "Don't just stare there, Rangiku. Move yer ass so that we can get going!" Then he abruptly stopped, brought his hands to his mouth and yelled towards the plane: "Soifon, get the fucking plane ready, we're leaving in five minutes!" Without waiting an answer he once again headed towards the building.

I stood there for a while, but then decided to follow the two of them. It's not like I'd have anything better to do.

We were sitting on the plane, which was taking off. The sky was getting darker but because Grimmjow was hell-bent on the fact that we were going to jump today, the impending storm didn't matter. I didn't have a good feeling about it, but nobody's going to listen to me anyway, so I just kept my mouth shut. It was almost the same as last time; Ikkaku was grinning, Rangiku was trying to hug me, Yumi was giggling at Rangiku's efforts, Gin was being Gin and Grimmjow was watching me from the opposite side of the plane. Yeah, I wasn't seated between Rangiku and Grimmjow like last time. Now the other one beside me was Yumi, not Grimmjow. Rangiku insisted that she wanted to sit beside me, so…here the bitch was.

I just rolled my eyes between snapping at her and tried to avoid being touched by her. I just can't get my head around her. Why the hell does she feel like she has to be all over me? And it's constant.

"I do not fucking want you to glue yourself on me, so please just stop already!" I said one word at a time, making sure that it sounded like I was talking to someone who didn't have the brain to understand normal speech. Oh, but that actually was the case. How ironic.

She pouted her lips and crossed her arms over her chest, making her breasts almost bursting out of her shirt. "Ichi, you're so mean" I didn't even bother answering that.

The rest of the flight went in a surprisingly relaxed manner until all of a sudden a loud crash was heard from the front of the plane. My eyes went wide and my head snapped at the direction, just like everyone else's too.

"What the hell? Soifon?" Grimmjow frowned when suddenly the plane swung abruptly to the left, making Rangiku, Yumi and me fall to the floor. Yumi scrambled back to our bench whereas Rangiku stayed on the floor, her eyes wide in terror. I took a hold on a metal bar and squeezed it so hard my knuckles were white. This wasn't happening. This can't be happening. It must be turbulence or something. I chanted in my head as panic was starting to engulf me. My almost defeated fear of heights made a grand comeback. I knew we were high enough, almost 900 meters from ground level, to make some serious wreckage if we were about to crash. Unless Soifon would be able to make a miraculous landing.

The whole plane was shaking. I could faintly hear Grimmjow yelling Soifon's name. I glanced up to see him standing in front of the door, which took to the cockpit and where Soifon was. He was trying to hold on to something so that he wouldn't fall down.

Another loud crash. I heard Rangiku scream and I scrunched my eyes closed, trying to separate my terror-filled mind from the current happenings. My heart was racing. I could hear my heart beating and my breathing was quick and shallow.

I could feel the plane starting to dive down nose first and it was shaking violently. I let out a strangled gasp as I realized what really was going to happen.

Please, oh dear God. Don't let it end this way. Don't let this be the end on everything.

Yumichika's POV
(kept replaying this song while I wrote this part: http: / www. youtube. com/ watch?v= im5CIpMFo4Q )

It was so quiet. Only the harsh wind was making noise.

I slowly opened my eyes and tried to look around me.

The plane was in pieces, actually, a part of the left side of the plane wasn't even there. I parted my lips and inhaled shakily. There was trash and dust everywhere, the air was thick. Pale beams of light from the cloud-covered sun danced in the wrecked aircraft…

Our plane had crashed.

I relived the moments which felt like they happened just a few minutes ago. But I couldn't tell how long I had been unconscious. My mind was fuzzy and my eyelids felt heavy. This can't be happening.

Where are we?

I looked out of a shattered window. All I saw was tree trunks and leaves and bushes. We must have landed into a forest. So Soifon wasn't able to find a field to land on. But at least she succeeded to bring the plane down without the aircraft exploding and killing us all at the same time. Talking about us:

Is everyone okay?

I tentatively moved my limbs. It didn't hurt too much so I think I hadn't broken any bones or worse. Thank god.

I licked my bruised and dry lips and opened my mouth, trying to force a sound from my throat. Nothing. Only a hoarse wheeze came out. I settled to only glance around to look for the others.

I saw Grimmjow lying on the floor. My eyes widened; his body looked limp. He looked… I tried not to panic but squinted a little and held my breath. I centered my scattered thoughts on staring at his body – to see if there are any movements. Seconds felt like hours, but finally I was able to see it; his chest was moving – he was breathing. He was alive. I let out the breath I was holding.

Rangiku was near Grimmjow, she was starting to wake up and was moving a little. Ichigo was outside of the plane, lying on the forest floor. But he was moving also. At least they were alive. Thank god.

Then a wave of horror hit me. Ikkaku. He had been sitting on the left side of the plane. The part, which now wasn't there. W-where is he. I can't see him.

I leaned forward, trying to get to my feet but fell forward onto all fours. That didn't matter. I crawled forward, looking at the spot where Ikkaku once sat.

My whole body shook. My head pounded. My heart wrenched.

"Y-yumi…?" A faint voice called me. It was Rangiku. I didn't answer.

I had reached the other side of the plane and was now watching out in the forest, trying to look for Ikkaku. I didn't see him. I was starting to panic. I frantically looked left, then right.

Finally my eyes caught something black and red. It was his jacket. I stumbled forward and fell out of the plane with a thump. I landed painfully on my side and my arm twisted under me. Tears were stinging in the back of my eyes and I let out a strangled howl. I lied there for a few minutes, breathing heavily and trying to ignore the dull pain of my arm. I squeezed my eyes shut and forced my body to move towards the sight of Ikkaku's jacket. I have to get to him. I need to ensure that he was okay – that he was alive.

As I crawled closer I saw Ikkaku's whole body. He was lying on his stomach on the ground, face turned away from me. I let out a strained laugh between my weeps as relief washed over me. It really was him. I found him.

"I-Ikkaku" I was able to squeeze a weak voice. Ikkaku didn't respond.

Once I got to him I put my hand on his shoulder and put a little pressure on the hand, being careful not to push too hard in case he was hurt.

"Ikkaku" I tried again, this time being able to voice his name out little louder.

He wasn't moving, so I, in my growing panic, tried to turn him over so that I could see his face. It wasn't easy because his unmoving body was heavy and my shaking body wasn't obeying my every command.

My arm hurt and the pounding in my head was getting worse from my struggling to move my lover. A few tears trickled down my cheek and my breathing was heavy and shaky. Finally with a strangled yell I was able to turn him over to his back.

I lifted myself and looked at his face. He was so pale. I gasped in horror as I saw the blood on his forehead.

"…Ikkaku?" I shook his shoulder a little. Silence. Around me there wasn't anything else than silence. Even the birds were quiet – they weren't singing like they ususally would. Maybe it was because the impending storm. Darker clouds were gathering to the sky, making the sunlight fade away. I turned my head back towards my lover and let out a shaky breath.

Why isn't he answering? Why can't he hear me calling his name?

"Ikkaku?" I tried again but got no answer.

He wasn't even moving.

The tears started flowing freely as my desperate calls echoed in the silent forest. No answer. No movement. Nothing.

Then suddenly my crying stopped. I blinked a few timed as I lifted my head and stared into nothingness with glazed eyes. The wind was drying my soaked cheeks and I swallowed hard. I had to do this to make sure that he wasn't…

I moved my trembling hand to his chest and lied still. My eyes went wider and I started to whine, before it turned out into a loud heart wrenching cry. His chest wasn't moving. He wasn't breathing.

My throat burned as I howled his name, praying him to open his eyes. To look at me. To just move his finger to indicate that he was still here with me. Something. Anything. Please…

My whole body was shaking violently from my wailing. I moved my hand on his neck, trying to find a pulse. I forced myself to stop crying, calming myself until I was only sniffing loudly, as I concentrated on feeling his heartbeat.

I couldn't feel it.

Fat, bitter tears poured down my cheeks and I let out a loud scream of desperate agony. I screamed his name over and over again, wrapped my hands around his still frame and refused to let go.

"Ikkaku please, please open your eyes! Don't leave me! Please… D-don't leave me…" I yelled with a broken voice. I knew he wasn't going to answer. He wasn't going to wake up. He wasn't going to take my hand and smile at me, telling everything was alright. Nothing was alright. Everything was…

I felt like my heart was being ripped from my chest. My life was slipping through my fingers. I..

I can't do this.. I.. Without Ikkaku by my side, I don't know what to do. I don't have anything left if… What should I do.. My thoughts whirled in my head.

I looked at his face. He looked…peaceful. His eyes were closed and his lips were parted a little. I buried my face into his jacket.

Darkness and desperation was taking over my heart. I felt empty. I felt alone. Abandoned.

I felt like a dying tree; trying desperately to hold on to life while its leaves were turning red and falling off, its trunk rotting and all life fading, leaving only a hollow core.

My hopeless mind was shattered. My heart was filled with pain. I felt defeated. I couldn't lift a finger.

It started raining. The rainwater mixed with my tears, washing them away. But the pain in my heart couldn't be washed away. It would stay there forever.

I kept quietly repeating his name between my sobs until I felt my consciousness slipping from my grasp.

My vision, blurry from the tears and raindrops, was starting to go black. I didn't have the strength to fight back.

I looked up at the sky, seeing a glimpse of a flock of white doves, flying towards the dark sky. Maybe it was real, maybe it was a hallucination. It didn't matter, nothing did.

My now soaked body went limp as I lied on the forest floor next to my lover, who was never going to wake up from his eternal sleep.

So, we had to forget about the fact that this story is supposed to be under the category of "humor". Well it wasn't now. Or maybe it was? It depends on how badly I screwed up writing that last part, hah..

I watched all three LOTRs and bawled my eyes out. I always do when I watch them. Too many epic or sad moments in those movies.. And after I had watched the last one of them (The return of the king) and had cried at least for the last half an hour, I had the right mood to write this mentioned last part.
This also explains why I had listened to that particular song while writing.. The OSTs of those movies are so beautiful~

Oh, and as you can see, even though I'm writing in Gin's POV, I won't be writing with that damn accent unless he's talking out loud. It would be hell to write his thoughts and all with it.. T-T

What did you think about the way I kept bouncing from a POV to another? I'd like to hear your opinions about that and of course in general what you thought about this chappy :)
So, reviews, anyone? :)
