A/N: Ok, I screwed up the naming for the chapters. That was a prequel to chapter seven. So… anything I need to say…? I don't own Bleach. Actually a topic I wanted to put up; Grimmjow's reappearance in the manga. I mean, it didn't "show" him coming back… necessarily. But it did show a sword, in the chapter 'Rescuer from the deep dark' or something, at the end of chapter 500, an anonymous zanpakatou saves Urahara and Ichigo. Urahara has the O.O face on him but it doesn't show t!he owner of the zanpakatou. Cliff hangers piss me off (T.T) But I am really really anticipate that it will be Grimmjow. Real close to smut warning. But not smut yet. As always I appreciate the people who plan on reviewing this chapter or have reviewed any of the previous chapters, anybody who is fav-ing or following this story. "I DEED DIS FO' U!" Julian Smith. And I don't own babies r' us.

"Ok," Orihime hung up the phone.

"Hey, Inoue, can I use your shower?" I asked Inoue, because that douchebag, Nnoitora, poured sake on my head… and then attempted to set it on fire. Damn arsonist.

"Sure, Espada-san, it's the first door on your left." I pulled my jacket off on the couch and handed Ichigo to Nnoitora. I stuffed my hands in my pockets and stalked over to the bathroom and opened the door. I pulled off my T-shirt, and I sat down on the toilet. (THE TOILET SEAT WAS DOWN JUST INCASE YOU WERE WONDERING WHY I DIDN'T TAKE MY PANTS OF TOO (T.T) ~Grimmjow~) Then I took off the rest of my clothing and stepped into the shower.

The warm water felt sooo good. I ran a finger down my abs and thought twice before going down any lower.

~~Back at orihime's apartment.~~ NnOITORA POV

"Are you hungry?" The girl asked me, hell yeah, I was fucking starving, I hadn't eaten anything today, I did drink half a bottle of sake before pouring it on Grimmjow's head, but that doesn't count. I put the kid down next to me before answering, I was at risk of being shot in the face with his cero at any given moment, and he fired them without warning. Especially around ME.

"Yeah," I replied, trying to hold back from saying 'bitch' at the end.

"Here," she said with setting a plate of cookies down on the coffee table. I grabbed one and ALMOST took a bite. Then, I remembered the food that she made in huenco mundo. All of that shit, at first the food tastes okay, and then either the after taste or the consequences made you want commit suicide. Not to mention she used chocolate laxatives in my food once… that day… I will never forget that day, no matter how badly I want to forget about it.

"Did… did you use normal chocolate?" I asked her.

"Huh? Oh," she giggled a little that caused me to burn up because she was thinking about THAT DAY, "Yeah, I did."

I took a bite of the cookie, "Wait, Inoue, what did you put in here?"

"Just the usual ingredients, flour, eggs, chocolate chips…"

"Yeah, yeah, no unusual shit, right? Like worms or jalapenos…"

"No, nothing like that," she replied, "Oh and Espada-san—"

"The name's Nnoitora," I told her.

"Nnoitora-sama," sounding a whole lot like Tesla,"I'm going to pick up a few things from the grocery store, okay?"

"Yeah, sure," I told her. So with that she grabbed her purse and headed out the door. I'm actually pretty surprised that she didn't ask about Ichigo yet. I continued my way, eating the cookie; it didn't taste bad, at all.

Oh god, I shouldn't have drunk that sake.

I ran to the bathroom, but of course, Grimmjow was taking his sweet fucking time in there.

"Grimmjow?" I said politely knocking on the door, once.

"What?" he called back. I could still here the water running. Shit. One, the water noises were making my urgent situation even more urgent. Two, the running water meant that Grimmjow wasn't done. How long that egotistical idiot need to get CLEAN?

"Can you please fucking hurry?"

"Why?"

"I'm in a crisis here."

"What?"

He's a guy. Isn't he supposed to understand this kind of stuff?

"I need to use the fucking bathroom! RETARD!"

"Oh. One sec."

"No. No one second! I'm gonna wet myself in one second. I drank half that bottle of sake before pouring it on your head."

"Ok, ok," he replied and I heard the water stop. C'mon! Get the hell outta the bathroom.

"What the hell are you doing now?" I asked him.

"Drying, putting my clothes on."

"OH MY GOD. JUST GET A TOWEL ON YOURSELF AND GET THE FUCK OUT BEFORE-"

"Fine," he called. GET OUT!

~~~Back to Grimmjow's POV, because I suck with Nnoitora's POV.~~

What the hell is this guy's problem? Sure he had to use the bathroom, probably like really, really badly, but sitting outside begging me to come out and banging on the door? I got it the first time, I just grabbed my clothes and wrapped a towel around myself and came out.

"IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME!" Nnoitora yelled as he ran into the bathroom. He didn't even shut the door as he relieved himself.

"Wow," I stated.

"Shut up!" He snapped, "You don't know how fucking good that felt."

"I think I do," I told him while pulling on my jeans, "Once I went out to have a little drinking session and I came back. I was a little tipsy but I had to pee really, really badly. Aizen was having my toilet fixed by some arrancars because I stuffed Yammy's stash of chocolate in it (Why, because he's too fat and it was april fools day). They wouldn't budge even though I told them."

"What did you do? Use your litter box?"

"I DON'T HAVE A LITTER BOX. No, I bugged the crap outta Ulquiorra to use his bathroom."

I pulled my shirt on and grabbed a cookie and Ichigo. I put him on my lap and put the cookie up to my mouth, "Did he eat?" I asked Nnoitora.

"How the hell am I supposed to know, I was busy trying to keep my bladder from bursting."

"Never mind…" I sighed. I brought the cookie down from my mouth and gave it to Ichigo. I took another cook and took a bite. Slowly chewing it, I remembered that Inoue had baked it.

"Um…" I started with my mouth full, "This is a normal cookie… right?"

"Yeah, it's not like her usual cooking. I asked."

I still had one doubt, "With normal chocolate?" I could stop a little chuckle that escaped my mouth that managed to piss Nnoitora off.

"You dare say one fucking thing about that shitty day, and I will stick your tongue in an electrical socket."

"Ok," I smiled. Shitty, the best way to describe that day for Nnoitora. I made the mistake of thinking of that thought because I couldn't hold back the laughter.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" He screamed at me.

"Ok, ok," I motioned him to calm down with my hands. I looked down at Ichigo to make sure he wasn't crying. He had a tendency to cry every time that utensil decided to scream at me or Ulquiorra. But he wasn't; looks like he's grown immune.

"Did the girl ask about Ichigo?"

"No."

"Good."

Just then Inoue walked in.

"Espada-san, I'm home," she called.

"My name is Grimmjow, you know that," I told her. The whole 'Espada-san' superficial respect scheme was getting on my nerves.

"Ok, Grimmjow-san," she said, she set her groceries down on the counter and came and sat across from me, "what did you—" she glanced at Ichigo- "Why is kurosaki-kun with you?"

"Yeah, he died and went to Huenco Mundo."

Her face was aghast. AGAIN.

"Kurosaki-kun…" she gulped, "is dead?"

"Only as dead as your soul reaper buddies," I tried to explain, c'mon wipe that I'm-gonna-cry-face off!

"So," I continued, "I found him and took him to Las Noches, there, we… er… used the hougyoku on him."

"Then why is he a little kid?" she pressed on.

"Well… I think something went wrong in the arrancarification process. The mask broke and he became a little kid."

"Oh," she said, I think that means she understands, "Then why do you need my help?"

"I'm getting to that, so you know how little kids need all kinds of little kid stuff…?""

"Yeah."

"Ulquiorra sent me and Nnoitora to go and buy all of that stuff, and we don't really…"

"Know how to find the stuff?" She finished for me, "Sure!"

"Thanks."

I was happy that I didn't have to explain anymore, and that she didn't try to take Ichigo. Just then the door opened… Shit. It's that Quincy boy.

"Hey, Orihime," he said in his Quincy ways.

Nnoitora leaned closer to me and whispered in my ear, "Damn, that's the Quincy boy, right?"

"Yeah," I told him.

The Quincy looked over at me; his eyes went wide and his pupils, small. Like he couldn't take the radiance emitted from me as I gave him my famous I-don't –care glare. It's this expression where I take one look at you but my irises float ever so slowly through the whites of my eyes.

"Espada?" He said in disbelief.

No shit, Sherlock.

And his eyes shifted to look at Ichigo, "Kurosaki?" He exclaimed with even more disbelief.

"Yeah, no shit," Nnoitora said the same thing I was thinking, "Ishida, right?"

"Yeah," he said, luckily he seemed pretty cool with his enemies at his girlfriend's house with his late best friend as a three-year-old tagged along with his enemies. Yeah, that sounds about right.

"Grimmjow?" he asked me.

"Yeah, I don't think we've officially met. You only met Ulquiorra."

"Why is Kurosaki with you?"

"Because, he died and went to Huenco Mundo so we made him into an Arrancar. Even though we are hollows, we aren't necessarily 'bad guys'. We are actually in opposition to Aizen's ways. And Ichigo, his mask broke during the arrancarification. That's why he's a little kid, he will go back to normal. Soon."

"… Why are you here?"

It was a fair question but I was really tired of answering the same question, so I was glad that Inoue decided to answer the question.

"They need our help, see, they have a list of things that Ulquiorra-san wanted them to get from the real world for Kurosaki-kun," she told Ishida. I just noticed that she was sitting on top of Ishida. Oh well, it's not my problem as long as they don't start fucking in front of me.

"Like, mostly baby stuff," Inoue added.

"Oh, wait," he looked at us, "How do we know that you are not trying to trick us?"

"And I thought you were smart," Nnoitora retorted.

"Ok," he admitted, "Point taken."

"Ok," I said getting up, grabbing my jacket and throwing it over my jacket and Ichigo in the other hand, "Let's go."

Nnoitora followed. Ishida and Inoue stood up; Inoue grabbed her purse and came to the door.

While on the way… to wherever Inoue was taking us, I felt a vibration in my pocket. I put my hand inside and pulled out my cell and flipped it open. It read: One new Message from Ulquiorra

I was extremely overjoyed. I thought I was gonna squeal like a little girl, but you know, I have to keep my cool.

The message read: …

Um… a blank message…? THE BEST KIND! Because, here's a little secret, if someone sends you a blank message, it gives you room to imagine whatever you want the other person saying. Like in this case, Hi, Grimmjow, I just wanted to see how it was going, or Grimmjow, I need to confess, you know what? Never mind. I need to get these unrealistic thoughts out of my head, dammit!

G:

U: What did you think I was saying?

U: Idiot.

G: So cold.

U: That was my intention.

U: Trash.

G: Nevermind. Wht do u need?

U: Just making sure…

U: That u were getting everything done.

G: Ya. We're fine.

U: k. good.

G: So, u do care?

U: Trash.

"Grimmjow-san," somebody was tapping me on the shoulder while I was indulged in my texting world, "Um, Grimmjow-san? We're here."

"Oh, right," I flipped the phone and put it in my pocket. I looked up to see a store called "Misaki's Nekko Store", what the fuck… who named these stores. (A/N~actually, this is purely a result of my lack of knowledge when it comes naming Japanese stores. So I stuck the word 'nekko' and the name of that character in Junjou Romantica to come up with a poor excuse of a store name.)(ACTUALLY good news, I found out they have babies R us in Japan.)

Nnoitora was leaning against the wall, also on his phone. He looked up as well and the WTF facial expression came across him, as well as the word escaping his mouth, "What the fuck… Is this some store that sells kittens?"

"Yeah," Ishida pointed, "This one sells kittens; we are going to that one."

I realized Ishida was pointing to the store next to it, Babies R us, "Right," I sighed. Sometimes… never mind.

We entered the store, "Here," Inoue said, taking Ichigo out of my hands and placed him inside the shopping cart.

"Thanks," I told her, I put my hand in my pocket and pulled out a list, "hmm… the first thing that we need are… diapers?"

"Hah, diapers," Nnoitora said, "Isn't he a little old for diapers?"

"Yeah, isn't he?" I asked Ishida.

"You tell me," he said.

"Then we can use pull-ups!" Inoue told me, she held up something that read Huggies, pull-ups. For ages 3 and up.

Damn, I was really grateful that she was there, no matter how much I loathed her.

"So, what's next?" Ishida asked me.

"Um… Crib and feeding chair."

"That's over here," Inoue walked into a different isle, pushing the cart in front of her. Nnoitora grabbed something on while they were walking.

"Hey Grimmjow, what the hell is this?" Nnoitora asked.

"How should I know?" I answered. You know how Nnoitora likes pressing buttons? So he pressed a button. The device looked like a small radio and it emitted a heartbeat that sounded like it was traveling through liquid when you pressed the turned the knob to the first option.

"That," Mr. walking-encyclopedia started, "Is a mother's heartbeat, it helps calm down really young infants."

Nnoitora turned it to the second notch, it started playing a lullaby, the lullaby could lull anyone to sleep, the first one it affected was Ichigo, his drowsy eyes were closing and opening before he finally succumbed to the over-powering slumber. I heard a small yawn escape from my mouth. Is this some sort of hypnosis machine?

"Turn it off," I said dryly and switched the thing off. I looked at Ichigo and the shopping cart was pressing against his skin, he was sleeping in the most awkward position.

"One second," I stopped Inoue and picked up Ichigo, "Ok, we can keep going."

I had Ichigo head in the crook of my neck on one side; I felt something hit the other side too.

"I'm sleeeeepy," Nnoitora groaned.

"Get off my shoulder," I growled at him, "You don't seem like you are sleepy, you seem like you are drunk."

"Mmmmm…" Nnoitora was drifting off. I kicked him in the shin, "Wake the fuck up!"

"Fine, fine. Hell, ya didn't have ta kick me."

I gave him a glare and just kept walking, it's good to learn how to walk off things that Nnoitora does or says.

"Hey Nnoitora," I said without looking back.

"Yeah?"

"Put that radio-thing in the cart, 'cause, you know," I looked back at him with mischievous eyes, "It might be useful under some circumstances."

"Ok," he replied, "I won't ask what you are thinking. But, I'll put the thing in the cart."

"That's a good boy," I told him.

"Don't push it," he growled.

"What's next?" Inoue asked.

"Baby monitor…?" I had no clue what the hell any of these things were. I think it had to do something with monitoring Ichigo.

"Oh those are those speaker things, right?" Ishida asked Inoue upon hearing me.

"Yup!" she replied.

"How do you know so much about this stuff?" Ishida asked.

Cuz Ishida, she cheated on you with that Sado guy and they had a baby. Hah!

"I was helping Tatsuki and Keigo shop for her first baby," She replied. (A~N~ they aren't that young anymore cuz I don't want you to think that this is some sorta teen mom thing.)

"Here it is, next to those radios!" she exclaimed, like she exclaimed everything else that made me want to shoot myself around her.

She picked up something that looked like a walkie talkie, she started explaining how it works, "You put one by Ichigo when he's sleeping and you hold onto the other one so you can hear if he wakes up."

"Ok. We still didn't get the crib and the feeding chair thingy," I pointed out. Suddenly, I felt Ichigo's little head rising and his hand tugging on my shirt.

"What is it?" I asked him quietly. He just made his eyes into puppy eyes, pursed his lips, and whimpered. I could see his legs getting twisted up.

"Oh... ok." I understood what he meant. He had to go to the bathroom.

I turned to Orihime. "I'm gonna take him to the bathrooms," where are they?"

"Oh the bathrooms~! They're right over there," she pointed a femine finger at the end of the store where the bathrooms were. I put Ichigo on the ground and took him by the hand and made him WALK. YEAH, I made him WALK! I am evil. I just didn't want to be at the risk of him getting wet all over me. I walked him over to the bathrooms and as soon as he saw the stall, he rushed over. I just stood outside the stall and took the moment to splash some cold water on my face. At first, I was about to walk into the stall with him, but... "I can go by myself!" the three-year-old said confidently.

I just stared at the door of the stall, it wasn't locked because he couldn't lock it. His little legs were swinging back and forth. When I thought he was done, I asked him, "You done?"

"No!" It took him a good five minutes to finish. I just stood around for FIVE GODDAMN BORING MINUTES... I flipped out my phone and noticed I had a text from Nnoitra. No joke, this guy is more impatient than I am. The text read, Are you done yet?

Ichigo came out of the stall and had me lift him up so he could wash his hands and all that other stuff.

I carried him again and came back to find (Not surprisingly) a confused Orihime looking around.

"Did you find the cribs?"

"Oh, right! Um… cribs… cribs," she talked to herself while looking around frantically to find the cribs.

"It's over here, Orihime-chan," Ishida told her.

"You're so helpful," she replied. She placed a hand on his chest -oh no, it's getting all lovey dovey and shit—Ishida placed his hand on the side of her face, caressing her cheek and went in for a kiss.

"Hey," Nnoitora interrupted, "Can you… not do that here?"

"Oh right," they said at the same time. Finally, we got to the cribs and feeding chairs.

"Are you sure you can get these back to Huenco Mundo?"

"No problem," I told Ishida, "I'll just ring Szayel and tell him to set up a gargantua in front of Inoue's apartment."

"Yo, Nnoitora, can you tell Szayel to set up a gargantua in front of Inoue's apartment in about 30 minutes?"

"Sure, what the heck," he pulled out his cell and called Szayel, "Hey, Szayel, can you set up a gargantua in front of Inoue's apartment, yeah, ok, no, I said no. WHAT THE FUCK! NO! WE WON'T GET YOU ARSENIC POISON, GODDAMNIT!"
