Author's Note: Here's chappie six! Wow! This is the first time I ever reached chapter six in a multi-chapter story! Yay! *happy dance with plot bunnies* ^^ LOL!

Please forgive me if this is a little delayed, I've been so caught up with Glee, a show I'm currently addicted with, that I almost forgot about this. I'm such a horrible author. :'(

Thanks for all those who have stuck with me and supported this fic from the very start, DEMONIC BLACKMAGIC, XIce-and-SnowX, Manga reader 125, krito1389, and the newest addition, PaintedinAllColors, as well as all those who fav and alert. You guys are awesome, as always. :)

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the crazy concoctions my mind comes up with.

Now I'll stop my rambling and on to the story!

Nel blew into a tissue as she got the last piece of snot out of her nose. After her meeting with Grimmjow, she wanted to go home and cry her eyes out, but then she remembered that her dad was home and working so that meant he'd notice and being the concerned parent he is, interrogate her.

So this is where Nel is now, in a public toilet, one block away from her house, crying her eyes out and successfully finishing the stall's tissue. She then brought out her small mirror, checked her appearance if she looked fine and exited the tiny bathroom to head home.

When Nel entered the apartment, she hoped that Ichigo was too busy with work and wouldn't notice her entering, but she had no such luck because the second she stepped inside, a baritone voice stopped her, "Why'd you take so long?"

She nervously put a hand behind her neck and rubbed it while giving him a faltering smile and said, "Well, while I was at the market and I met and old friend from middle school who remembered me and both of us ate ice cream, had a small chat and went home." At least it was partially true, Nel could bear to fully lie to Ichigo, ever.

Ichigo just sighed, knowing his daughter wouldn't want to talk about it so he instead nodded and let it slide.

Nel let out a happy grin at her father's response and went to her room and locked the door.

So what could she do now? Homework, check. Chores, check. Shopping, check. Talking with her dad's ex, check. Making a plan to let her dads get back together.

Nel smiled evilly which she probably got from her crazy, biological dad, time to work on that last one. And after twenty minutes of mindlessly, rolling on her bed to create a plan, nothing. She wasn't made out for this. So instead, she called the one person she knew would help her, Ulquiorra.

*Ring* *Ring*

After the second ring, a deep teen voice answered, "Hi, Nel."

She giggled and answered right back, "Hi there, Ulqui?"

"So why'd you call?", Ulquiorra questioned since Nel usually visited him instead of called.

"Why, is it so bad to want to call your boyfriend every once in a while just to hear his dreamy voice?", Nel answered in a mock hurt voice.

She could imagine her boyfriend raising a slender black brow at what she just said, "Okay. I need you to help me with something."

"With your dads?", Ulquiorra questioned.

"Yup!", Nel confirmed happily. The pale teen almost let out a sigh, he thought this was a bad idea because he was the kind of guy to just let things go at its own pace and not to interfere, but he didn't want to make Nel unhappy. Another thing that Ulquiorra loved about Nel was that she was so kind and giving like her dad. She hated seeing anyone troubled or in pain because of her.

"So, I was able to meet him today.", Nel stopped hearing the gasp of surprise from the other side.

"Sorry, please continue.", the other said.

"Then I invited him for ice cream and I found out that he really is my dad and he even said himself that all he wants is to be able to love Ichigo again.", Nel ended in a romantic tone.

"Now, what's the plan?", Ulquiorra asked, if Grimmjow still had feeling for Kurosaki-san, this could work.

"Well, that's the thing. I was trying to think of a plan but I came out with none so I called you to see if you had any suggestions.", the green haired teen replied sheepishly.

She then heard an amused chuckled from the other person, but before she could say anything, he spoke, "Okay, maybe we could get the two together in a certain place and they can talk their feelings out with each other. We can't force them together automatically, if they want to take it slow or if they want to be friends at all is their choice not ours."

"Ulqui, that's perfect!", Nel exclaimed in a jovial tone.

"But you also have a part here, you need to speak to Grimmjow again and ask him to join the plan and ask him as well if there are any places he would recommend. We really need Kurosaki-san to feel all those emotions he felt in the past to come back if we want this to work.", Ulquiorra said in an authoritative voice.

Nel then agreed and she said, "Ulqui?"

"Hmm?", he answered, their conversation took longer than expected and it was almost 7 o'clock.

"Thanks.", she said in a thankful voice.

He smiled and replied, "Anything to make you happy."

Nel's face turned a shade of red at this and she stuttered out, "I-I love you."

"I love you to.", was the last thing said before the line was cut.

Monday came and Nel and Ulquiorra's mind was distracted from Grimmjow and Ichigo a bit because of their quarterly exams, but once the weekend began, Nel immediately asked her dad if she could go shopping hoping that she would bump into her second dad once again. Ichigo raised a suspicious brow at this for various reasons such as: first, there was nothing that she had to buy; and second, shopping wasn't her favourite chore.

And when he questioned Nel about this, she said that she merely wanted some fresh air. At hearing this, the orange haired man agreed since she was probably exhausted from studying, landing herself a place in the top 10 of their batch, Ulquiorra just ahead of her.

When Nel reached the mall, she immediately started looking for a mop of blue hair that could easily stand out. After finding none, she proceeded to search around the entire mall with her efforts going in vain once again.

She then gave up her expedition and headed home since it was getting late, she certainly didn't want another replay of what happened the other night.

Just as she started to see the building ahead of her, she also noticed a figure just standing at the side, staring at the apartment complex, seemingly waiting for someone.

Upon closer inspection, she then realized it was the man she'd been looking for the whole day! Instead of feeling anger and frustration, she approached the man happily.

Before she could get his attention, his eyes suddenly widened and filled itself with love and longing. Nel then turned her head, wanting to see what caused such and expression on the man's face. She was then pleasantly shocked to find out that he was staring at her father who had taken a break from his work.

'So, this is what true love looks like.', Nel thought to herself with a smile.

Once Ichigo, was able to relax himself for a while, he headed back inside and out of sight. Nel then saw the other man's head lower in mild disappointment, though when he turned around to leave, he had a small smile of contentment on his face.

But that soft look on the man's face was quickly wiped off his face once he spotted the eye-catching sea green haired girl. His face now showed astonishment, bewilderment, a bit of joy, regret, sadness and just a pinch of fear. Fear of what? Nel would never know.

"Umm…Grimmjow?", Nel asked nervously because this was the first time they would meet ever since the ice cream shop episode.

"Yeah?", Grimmjow said casually, trying to hide the anxiety he held inside his heart. He was afraid that she would scream how much she hated him and ask why did he leave them? The blue haired adult knew that his heart wouldn't be able to take the pain of that.

To his surprise, Nel instead apologised by saying, "So, sorry for running off on you like that the other day. I just didn't know how to react, you know."

The other just silently nodded figuring that it must be hard to find out that the guys who saved you from almost being rapped was your gay dad's ex boyfriend. Yup, definitely not a walk in the park.

"And there's one more thing.", Nel quickly said as the man started to make his leave.

"I was wondering his you could help me with something.", she said nervously.

"What?", he asked.

"Well..", Nel nervously twiddled her thumbs and said while nearly jumbling on the words, "I-um win, I mean want, to, -um, maybe ... getyouandmydadbacktogether"

A blue brow was raised in confusion, but when his mind finally deciphered her words, he questioned, "Why? Why would you want your father to get back together with me, the guy who hurt him and refused to take you in?

Nel then raised her head to show wide onyz eyes filled with hope and replied, "Because I want dad to be happy? And I see in both of you that you two still have unrequited feelings for each other."

At this new information, Grimmjow's heart nearly jumped for joy, Ichigo still loved him? He still had a chance?

Without any further hesitation, he agreed and they both made a plan and settled the place, time, and date. Operation get "Ichigo and Grimmjow back together" was a go!

Later that night, Nel called Ulquiorra to inform him that everything was set and all they needed to was sit back, watch, and let nature take its course.

Author's Note: Sorry guys for the delay and shortness. I went to the beach again with my family and I had to sleep in the same room as my cousin who had a bad cold. Inevitably, I got the cold and I'm now sneezing the crap put of me. Just this morning, I finished one box of tissue and a pack f tissue as well. *achoo!*

Hopefully your reviews will make me feel better! :D
