So Sorry if you waited such a long time for this one...

I had some tests going on at school and my mum banned me from using the computer...

But I wrote a really long chapter for this one~! ^_^

Forgive me please~!

Enjoy!


Isane groaned as she dumped her bag near the side of her bed. She was tired and pissed but mostly tired. Unohana-sensei made her stay back for class for extra lessons and Isane couldn't say no. (More like shouldn't. Her smiles are enough to kill someone)

She canon-balled onto her bed headfirst and moaned as she felt the soft and fluffiness of her bed. She was dying to get some shut eye but her art project isn't complete and she has to do 2 essays on the history of Rukongai. Seems like she'll be up with the help of caffeine.

Isane rolled face up and grumbled at the ceiling. If only she could hang out with someone right now. But that would be stupid as it was already nearing 7 and twilight was settling in the horizon outside her window. With a determined huff, Isane jumped out of her bed and headed to her study desk with a will to strive. (Kekeke)

She grabbed her art project from the corner of her room towards her, pulled out some A4 sized lined paper and a HUGE history book all towards her small and pitiful study desk. Her brain reminded Isane and she grabbed two packets of gummy bears from her secret stash. She'll be needing the sugar rush to keep going on for Kami-knows how many hours.

"Let's GO!" Isane yelled and punched the air. Almost immediately, her pen started scribbling onto the A4 paper.

~4 Hours Later~

"Ahh~! Finished!" Isane yelled groggily and slumped onto her small roller chair. A pencil was stuck behind her ear and bits of glued paper were covered on her school uniform she was wearing. A complete art project sculpture of a blind man with a helping dog stood magnificently next to the two history essays. The two packets of gummy bears were empty and were in the trash bin.

Isane glanced over at the clock that hanged above a picture of her and Kiyone and it showed 10:43 pm. She still has time to bathe and take a walk outside. Standing up and cracking her backbone, she grabbed her towel and had a quick bath.

The warm water pelted onto her body and her muscles relaxed and her breathing slowed. Steam rose up to the ceiling and the mirror was fogged up. Isane shampooed her messy grey hair and laughed slightly. She took out the beads that were on her hair and quickly laid them near the sink.

Now, with her hair unclipped and free from the beads, Isane finally felt so calm. As she bathed, she thought through all the things that were happening in her life right now. Grimmjow was finally convinced to stay as her penpal. Izuru tried to chat her up during lunch break (Unfortunately, the situation was soo awkward, it resulted the both of them just staring at the floor and not looking at each other.) and she felt a lil fluttery at the thought.

Isane giggled to herself when she replayed the cute scene where Izuru stammered and tripped over his own words. She wasn't spared though, she too had a shaky voice and her face wouldn't stop burning. She thanked Momo for giving her the escape she needed at that moment.

But all the while, she truly treasured those small 5 minutes of her life. It was the first time she ever had a conversation with a boy. Even if it was short convo. Sure Grimmjow is a boy and they conversed together but they did it indirectly. Isane's good in indirect convos. It's the direct ones that has her palm clammy. Why was she born so meek?

Isane sighed and turned off the tap. She dried herself with the towel and wore a T-shirt and slightly tight sweat pants. She didn't bother wearing her beads and she wanted her hair to breathe for a while. Once she was dressed, she grabbed her phone and made a move out of her house.

Before leaving, Isane made a point to check on her lil sister. She entered Kiyone's dark room and smiled as she saw her lil sister sleeping with her head on top of her History book. Quietly and gently, Isane carried her sister from her study desk and onto her bed. She took off Kiyone's gloves and socks and tucked her in. Isane kissed Kiyone's forehead as a goodnight and closed the door quietly as she headed out for her daily night walk.

After locking the doors of her house, Isane started walking towards the park. The night was calm and silent as a tomb but in a peaceful manner. The owls hooted sleepily and the crickets chirped their melodious rhythms. A few cars were driving past and few shops were still opened. Isane inhaled the night air and exhaled. She always loved the night time.

Not wanting to waste anymore time, she started jogging to the park. Her short unkempt hair bounced as the cold wind gushed to her face. There were reasons why she wanted to reach the park quickly. The first time she started this daily night walk, she met a few cats at the park. She named them and bought them food from the 24 hour shop nearby. She longed to bring one home as a pet but since Kiyone disagreed firmly, Isane had to make do with just seeing them in the park.

Isane started slowing down from her jog when she saw a familiar ball of brown fur next to the lamp post. Isane giggled and made two clicking noises with her mouth. The brown fur snapped its head towards Isane meowed happily as it walked towards her. The medium-sized cat rubbed its head to Isane's legging and Isane crouched down to stroke its chin.

"Hey Kashoku. Missed me?" Isane asked and Kashoku meowed in delight. Isane chuckled lightly and stood back up. "Come on. I wanna see the others." Isane spoke and walked towards the playground.

As Isane jogged to the playground, also known as the Cat's hiding spot, she clicked a rhythm with her mouth and the cats that were in hiding appeared from their hiding spots. All of them approached Isane as she squat down to pet them. Isane recognized each of their faces and they meowed hungrily. Isane raised an eyebrow. She should have brought some food with her but usually someone had already beat her to it.

"Seems like Fish-guy is late." Isane cooed at the cats. Fish-guy was a name Isane had given to the mysterious man who had always came to give food to the cats. Fish-guy would usually leave out food near the playground and Isane was grateful for him. Since the food he or she had always gave to the cats were sardines, tunas and other kinds of fish, Isane named him/her 'Fish-guy'.

Isane sighed. "Sorry guys. I didn't bring any food."

Just then, a scrawny and brown cat otherwise known as Kitsune, meowed loudly and dashed out. The other cats after smelling the fishy scent in the air, followed in suit with Kitsune towards the source of the smell. Isane turned to face where the cats were going and squinted. The man appears to be below her height and is carrying two plastic bags in both hands. He wore long denim jeans and a hoodie jacket. Due to the darkness of the night, Isane couldn't make out his facial features. The man having his jacket hoodie up was no help either. He stopped and laid the plastic bags near the swing and the cats started meowing loudly, demanding to have the fish.

Curious, Isane approached the man as he distributed the fishes. With each step Isane took, the more familiar the man seem to be. Finally, Isane was standing right behind the man as he still distractingly gave out the fish. When the man dropped his hood to his shoulders, there was no mistaking the vibrant blond hair.

"Kira-san?" Isane gasped.

"Aghh!"

"Aghh!"

Izuru fell down on his butt in surprise and Isane took a step back, covering her mouth in shock.

"Oww…" Izuru whimpered and turned to Isane. "Why did you scream?"

"Because you screamed. What are you doing here late at night?" Isane asked and approached Izuru as he stood back up.

"Me? I was just giving these cats some food. What are you doing here?" Izuru asked her and brushed some dirt of his butt.

"Wait, you're Fish-guy?"

"Excuse me?" Izuru raised his eyebrow.

"No no, it's just that someone has been feeding the cats food every now and then and since it was mostly fish food, I called you Fish-guy. Sorry." Isane spoke and rubbed the back of her neck.

Izuru chuckled lightly. "Fish-guy. That's cute." Instantly, Isane's cheeks bloomed red and seeing those pints of red, Izuru started blushing as well.

"Ahh, I mean the name is cute. I didn't mean that you were cute. But of course you're cute! Who wouldn't think you're cute? I would but that doesn't mean that…" Izuru spoke those stream of words and the atmosphere turned icily awkward. Isane blinked her eyes in surprise and Izuru mentally knocked himself in the head.

I should shut up now. Izuru thought and brought his hood up to cover his embarrassment. Izuru looked down to the ground to avoid Isane's eyes and silence followed them.

She must really think I'm a weirdo by now. Cute. I'll curse those words forever. Ugh, I can never look at her the same again. This really takes first place in my Most Embarrassing Moments. Why am I such a weirdo? I'm really going to die alone aren't I?

"Thanks."

Izuru snapped his head to Isane's direction. "What?"

"Thanks. Y'know, for feeding the cats when I couldn't. It's really nice of you to do that." Isane spoke and smiled.

Izuru smiled back. "I don't actually mind doing it. I like the cats though I'm more of a dog person." Izuru shrugged and sat at one of the swings. Isane followed in suit and both of them started swinging together.

"It's actually weird right now." Isane admitted as her loose hair swayed gently.

"How so?"

"You weren't this talkative when we're at school."

"You're one to talk. Last time I checked, you and I were stuttering like Professor Quirrell."

Isane blinked and her face twitched to a smile. "You read Harry Potter?"

Izuru rubbed his head. "Who doesn't?" He spoke sheepishly.

"True. At least I'm not the only person in school who reads books like a maniac." Isane admitted. "Which book is your favorite?"

Izuru was silent for a split second. "The Chamber of Secrets."

"Oh. Why?" Isane pried.

Izuru stopped swinging at once. "My parents bought me that book on my 10th birthday."

Isane gazed at Izuru thoughtfully as he looked remorseful.

"Oh… I'm sorry for that, Kira-san…"

"Nah, it's no biggie. It's only just a book. I could have bought it with my own money but they bought it for me anyway…"

Isane shook her head. "Kira-san, be grateful for what you have. Kiyone and I were orphaned at a very young age and we didn't have any memory to link us to our parents. Be happy that you have something to remember you're parents by. Kiyone and I have nothing at all…"

Izuru glanced at Isane's sudden sad expression and sniffed. "I guess you're right. Something is better then nothing…"

Isane nodded her head and continued swinging. Izuru followed in suit and the peacefulness of the night serenaded them. Izuru felt lighter then he have ever felt before and he knew being with Isane helps him in so many ways that he knew not how to describe.

"Hey Isane?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you, I don't know, wanna hang out after school tomorrow?" Izuru asked, his heart hammering against his ribcage.

Isane's spine chilled and her pulse rocketed. O My Gosh! A boy is asking me out! A Boy is asking me out! She thought in her head and she had to bite her tongue to surpress her excitement.

"S-Sure. I'd love to." Isane whispered out to mask the excitement in her voice.

"Great! That's great. How about we go to this frozen yoghurt shop or-" Izuru stopped himself. Yoghurt shop? DUDE!

"Sure. I like frozen yoghurt. I'll meet you at the entrance gate." Isane spoke.

"No. Not at the entrance gate. Too many people are there and I kinda want to go out without people bombarding me with questions… If that's okay with you." Izuru trailed off the last sentence.

"I can totally relate to that. It'll really be a hot topic if people see the two of us, who are probably the most anti-social people in the school going out together." Isane agreed and looked at the time.

"Shit!" Isane cursed to herself. It was way past midnight and she can't afford losing anymore sleep. She quickly turned to Izuru. "Uh, Kira-san? As much as I want to stay here with you, but I really need to go back home." Isane spoke and quickly got off the swing.

"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow then." Izuru spoke and waved goodbye ad Isane ran away and waved at the same time. As she saw the entrance of her home, she decided to check the mailbox. She didn't checked it the day before since she was too tired.

"Oh! Grimmjow's letter!" Isane gasped to herself. Gripping the letter of her penpal, she ran to her as quietly as she could and entered her room. She closed the door and quickly opened the letter.

After reading the letter, Isane smiled and headed to her bed. Satisfied by reading the letter, she can finally go to sleep.

Switching the lights off, Isane fell asleep. Grimmjow's letter was laid on her study desk and the moonlight from the open window shone on the letter's surface.

The letter reads…


Yo, Isane

Sheesh, calm down with the Thank you's dude! You're giving me a headache with your big writings!

Fine, I'll stop being hurtful to myself and say mean words about myself. You're really starting to act like a mom (I think…)

Phew, guess the re-introductions are over. Now, I can give you some tips on love. Not that I'm good at it.

Okay, this asking out a dude to a date thing will totally be weird at first. But it depends on the person you're wanting to have a date with. Is he a douchebag or is he totally cool or is he nice? You've gotta check if he's nice. You don't wanna get stuck with a dude who's a total douche, y'know?

Okay, if you really wanna go out with some, ask them if their free sometime after school or during the weekends and ask them out. Just be positive and don't freak out. Dude's will totally think you're weird. You can just say that you wanna go out an have lunch as friends or something. That's okay enough for a guy.

Okay, now my turn for some story telling.

Turns out, I found a friend. I'll tell you my story about her. I even named her.

Okay, I was on the way to the post office to buy more stamps and there was a girl who works there too. I vaguely remembered her because apparently, she was from my school. Her rank's adjuchas and her hair was so black but the tips were blue. She's as thin as bone and she's around 160 cm. Just looking at her makes me think of a kitten. So innocent.

I growled at her angrily because she kept giving me stares and she quickly just scanned the packs of stamps I wanted to buy. She called me a 'Big-head' without flinching! That's really an abnormal thing for an Adjuchas to do towards an Espada. She had guts and I liked that. I asked for her name but she told she didn't have one. It's quite common here in Hueco Mundo for a person to not have a name. So, I told her that I'll come back tomorrow to give her a name.

I couldn't think of a name right now but I'm sure I'll figure something out. She's a really nice girl. Don't think that I'm going to fuck her! No WAY! Even I can't fuck a girl that has those kind of eyes on her. Nah, I'm not that desperate to have a fuck every time. Instead, I think that she's like a lil sister to me. When we talked, I felt as though I was there to protect her like a big brother or something. It felt good to chat with her freely. It's nice. I'd really like to hang out with her again and I think you'll like her.

Well, that the end of my part. Fuck it. Why is that every time I finish writing a letter my wrist hurts like fuck? Ugh… Guess that's what I get for replying to your mushy letters. But I don't mind it. Who else is there to listen to my lame stories? XD Jk Jk

Nah, I don't mind if you want to explain you're school with me. Just write it in a different letter, y'know? So that I can read you're actual letter before reading the school explanation letter. I want to have a clear and un-headached head when I read your letters. I have a feeling it'll be worse then mine.

C ya,

Grimmjow

PS: I can't cook so just make me the porridge if we ever meet.


Heheh, Hoped you liked it!

Peace out, Hombres~! ^_^
