Loloz so many reviews, how wonderful. Thank you everyone. Also the winner of guessing the right bidders in the last chapter and first to pm with the right answer was IILesGeMeAuxII! Who even was able to guess the announcer right as well! So IILesGeMeAuxII has a pretty amazing request for a one-shot, and I'll be able to have it done within the next two weeks or so! Thanks for the support of this story! ;9

Grimmjow X Ichigo; Along with other one-sided pairings

Darker then the Sun: Chapter 4

Ichigo swallowed hard, he could feel sweat forming in his clenched palm, ''Shit...'' He murmured as he stared at the door. The knob unlocking and slowly turning, it was without a doubt the longest one minute in his life! And then the door creaked open, and footsteps came toward him. He closed his eyes and stiffened, waiting for something to happen as he huddled in the floor. And he waited and waited as those footsteps stopped right before him.

''You shouldn't be out of you bed...'' a voice came to his ears, it was feminine but a bit deep, it was followed by more footsteps into the room, Ichigo's heart began to race as he cracked open an eye, he looked up, his eyes meeting tanned skinned legs, he looked up more as he backed away against the bedroom wall. A woman with blond hair and cold blue eyes was staring at him, with her arms crossed. She was wearing some sort of suit, but made for a woman instead. Behind her were three other women, hybrids, one with long green hair and markings under her eyes, she was a snake hybrid, Ichigo could tell because she her hair reflected of scales like a snake, sort of pretty too. The next was dark skinned with long wavy brown hair and golden eyes; she had lion ears and a long tail that had a bushy end, wavy like her hair. And the last one had short blue black hair and bi-colored eyes of red and blue, she had two small curled horns on her head, a ram. They were all wearing suits as well, and staring at him with hard eyes.

''Is this him?'' The one with different colored eyes spoke, she sneered as she looked Ichigo over, ''He doesn't look like somethin' ya spend 800,000,000 yen on.'' Ichigo blinked in confusion at her words.

Spend? On him?

''What are you talking about!'' Ichigo hissed, baring his fangs out of fear and anger.

The girl opened her mouth to speak again, but was silenced with one look from the other two next to her. The one in front didn't bat an eye lash at the confused and snarling boy, but she finally spoke, ''You were bought, by Grimmjow Jeagerjaques.'' Ichigo could feel his tail fur stand on it's end.

Was she being serious, or was this some sort of sick joke?

''He is your new master, and we are one of his many assistance, we've come to make you proper for Grimmjow's presence-''

''Shut up!'' Ichigo's voice sounded cracked and weak, ''Your lying, I have a master all ready! Urahara Kisuke!'' The orangette said as he glared at the four women before him, before he could even blink, however; he felt a sharp sting on his cheek. The girl with the short black hair had moved and quickly struck him across his face, making Ichigo fall back a little, he was stunned. He's never been struck in his whole life. He stared in shock and disbelief up at the girl who was staring at him darkly.

''How dare you speak to Ms. Halibel that way you-''

''That is enough Apacci.'' Halibel spoke and the girl quickly moved away and back to her spot from before, the other two snickering a little at the scene. Ichigo curled up against the wall he was against, his tail wrapping around him protectively as he held his throbbing cheek with one of his hands, his other clench the cloths around his chest.

''I don't know how you behaved around your last master, nor do I care, but here you will show respect.'' She said icily, Ichigo flinched at her tone, fear eating him away. ''Sung-Sun, Mila, clean him up; Apacci come with me.'' She turned and walked away, Apacci giving Ichigo one last glare before going after Halibel out the room. Leaving the other two behind, Sun-Sung and Mila.

Mila smirked, ''First of all, how about we explain a few more rules to ya, hunh? Then get ya all fixed up and then give you a tour of the place?'' she said in a bit of a scary friendly sort of way. Ichigo moved away even more, making the other frown a bit, Sun-Sung hid a giggle behind the sleeve of her shirt.

''What? And I suppose you can do better?''

''Of course.'' The snake hybrid said simply, she stared at Ichigo, moving closer then kneeling down in front of him; the orangette, feeling cornered raised his hackles, and hissed at the girl. She was undeterred and cocked her head to her side a little, Ichigo blinked in confusion as she cocked it the other way as well. The feline watched as she sway back and fourth, not noticing himself doing the same. The feeling felt calming, hypnotizing, strange...

''There, you ok now?'' she asked in a sweet voice, Ichigo blinked out of his stupor and found that he wasn't a shaking wreck like before, he slowly nodded, ''Good, my name is Sun-Sung, and that idiot is Mila Rose.'' The girl behind her, crossing her arms snorted in annoyance. ''Nice to meet you...''

Ichigo pursed his lips, un-willing to talk at first, but then parted his lips, ''Ichigo...''

Mila suddenly started laughing loudly making Ichigo scowl and Sun-Sung shake her head in shame for knowing the woman. ''Don't mind her Ichigo, I think it's a nice name, suits you.'' Sun-Sung said as she stood back up. Ichigo stared up at her as she sat down on his bed.

''...Where am I?'' He asked hesitantly, wanting to get as much information out of these girls, so he can find a way to escape as soon as possible and get back home to Shiro...and the others...

''Your in the south district of Hueco Mundo, Las Noches.'' Ichigo furrowed his brows, he read about Las Noches on maps and books, it was like a big city compared to Kara Kura Town, which is more peaceful and suburban. Urahara always told him and Shiro never to wonder into Espada Territory, a.k.a. the high powers that control Las Noches, but their is an unknown number of all the Espada Leaders or Dictators in the area, all that is fact about them is where who's territory borderlines other's territory.

''...Earlier, that girl, what was she talking about, and how did I get here?'' The neko said as he started to feel a bit more comfortable around the other two.

''Hmm? Oh, Apacci, well what she meant was that you were sold and bought by 's associate, Grimmjow Jeagerjaques, at an underground black market, it's pretty common around here. But you were sold at a Members Only one, meaning where all the big wigs spend serious money.'' She said non-chalantly, as if it didn't really matter.

Ichigo was shocked to say the least, he began to remember when he was suddenly grabbed and knocked out, he also remembered a bunch of voices from before, but none of them were recognizable. ''Was...was there another one, with me, he looks like me, but he's more pale and has white fur...'' His voice was filled with worry.

Sun-Sung thought for a moment, so did Mila, but the lioness was first to speak, ''No, if he looks like you and was caught, I'm sure he would be sold off around the same price as you, but we were there ourselves, and we didn't see any one like that...''

''Yes, but you know how Gin can be, he's quite sneaky.'' Sun-Sung said with distaste in her voice.

''But-'' Ichigo was interrupted by a grunt from Mila, the lioness starring at both of them after drawing there attention.

''That's enough questions for now, Mr. Jeagerjaques will be back soon, and Ms. Halibel wants him ready by then.'' Ichigo frowned even more, not liking his situation one bit. Sun-Sung sighed in disappointment, she was actually enjoying the conversation, but all good things must come to an end.

''Whatever.'' she said toward Mila with a wave of her hand as if dismissing her; making a tick of anger appear on the lioness's head. ''Alright Ichigo, how about a bath?''
