So sorry that it took me so long to get this up it's been like two weeks or something! I'm SORRY! I have no excuse other then laziness and that's not an excuse. This is another slower chapter I think but it's still got some good parts in it so please read and enjoy. Unfortunately this one is also a tad shorter then the last two, it's nearer the length of the first chapters.
I DON'T OWN BLEACH OR ANY OF THE SONGS OR THE MOVIE THAT IS/ARE MENTIONED!

last chapter
"Grimmy-kun? What the hell kinda of a name is that?!" Grimmjow mumbled angrily forgetting about the boyfriend part of the conversation.
"Haha one that Atsuko-san has decided to call you. And don't bother trying to get him to stop it wont work. He's also the owner of this place. This is where Yue got her musical start." She got Grimmjow a menu, "Here this has all the food in it, when some one comes by and asks for your order tell them what off of here you want. If you can't figure it out I'll help you or you can ask for the sampler. I have to set up the sound system"
Grimmjow looked through the menu boredly, he wasn't sure what most of the stuff was. 'Guess I'll wait for Clair…' A teen in a uniform came over and asked what he'd like to drink in a cheery voice. "Uh… you got Mtn. Dew?"
"Sure do I'll bring a glass right out for you." The teen left and Grimmjow went back to looking at the menu trying to figure out what half the food actually was.
"Grimmjow? What are you doing here?" Grimmjow looked up in search of the voice.
"Kurosaki?" 'What the hell is he doing here? Wait he can't be.'
"Clair where are you?" he heard Tora call as she went over to the stage.
'No frickin' way!' "You're that crazy chick's boyfriend?!"
Chapter 7: Music, Friends, and Food(I really don't like this title someone help me out)
"Heh, yeah she can be a bit crazy can't she?" Ichigo said rubbing the back of his neck in slight embarrassment. "We started going out officially…on Sunday and today's Tuesday so three days ago. But have known each other for roughly a month maybe less I'm not sure." All Grimmjow could do was gawk at him but as he thought about the two did seem to fit together as they both had tempers that would flair randomly. "Were you about to order?"
"Huh? Oh yeah well sorta… I don't really know that much about human food. I've just been eating what Clair's given me." He mumbled.
"Why not just order sampler. It has a bit of everything." Ichigo repeated Clair's suggestion unknowingly as he pointed to a picture in the menu. "Or seeing as how you're a cat in your release form, maybe try the salmon." He pointed at another picture chuckling at Grimmjow's blush.
"Just because my release is a panther doesn't mean anything towards my likes or dislikes!" Grimmjow bristled.
"Right~" Ichigo said unbelievingly as he took the seat next to him as Clair came back out to the front of the stage.
"Hey Kurosaki what's up?" He waved to her then turned back to the menu. Clair looked down at Tora and with a knowing grin asked, "So~ where's your boyfriend hmm~?"
"He's right there!" She pointed at Ichigo without actually looking. "How do you know each other already?!" She demanded. Clair simply point in the direction of Grimmjow and Ichigo causing Tora to turn and look. Her jaw dropped when she saw Grimmjow sitting next to Ichigo as they scanned through the menu. "How, but, when did, and why are? EXPLAIN NOW!"
"I could say the same to you." Clair gave her a quick four sentence summery of everything that happened, "He flew in through my window two days ago. Some shinigami were after him, but I let him stay so they left. He followed me around yesterday and we got attacked by hollows –which him and Kurosaki killed. Urahara asked us a bunch of questions then gave Grimm a gigia. Your turn how'd you meet Kurosaki?"
Tora blinked soaking up all the information those four sentences provided her with before answering. "I went to Yue's album signing at the beginning of the month and saw him there with his sisters…Wait hollows! You mean it's all real? He's the real honest to goodness Kurosaki Ichigo Substitute Shinigami?!"
"Yes he is… you seriously never brought it up and you've known him for a month shame on you. Kurosaki, Tora watches Bleach to she even writes fanfiction about it!" Tora tried to shush her but failed.
"Seriously and you never told me about the anime how rude." Ichigo fake pouted/scowled at her. But started to laugh when she blushed and started stuttering.
"Oh by the way," Grimmjow spoke up his evil grin plastered on his face as he remembered one of his reasons for coming, "I was there yesterday when she was giving you that picture she had drawn of me and Kurosaki." Tora's blush got deeper. "Are you bipolar?"
"NO I AM NOT BIPOLAR YOU ASS!"
"Are you sure 'cause you sure seem bipolar to me." Grimmjow asked again, while Ichigo and Clair tried not to laugh at her.
"Yes I'm sure! Clair you suck why didn't you tell me was there!?"
"Because then I wouldn't have the pleasure of telling you now and seeing this lovely reaction." Clair said in a sickly sweet voice.
"You are by far the most evil being in existence! Sadist!"
"Only a little." Clair relied with an innocent but straight face. Ichigo and Grimmjow gaped at her.
"Only a little my ass you still suck!" Tora pouted crossing her arms.
"Oh so many perverted things I could say to that!" Clair laughed as she grabbed her violin.
"Tora you gonna come sit down or you gonna stand there all night?" Ichigo asked as the waiter came back with Grimmjow's drink and asked for Ichigo's dink order and Grimmjow's food order. Tora sat next to Ichigo leaving a chair open between herself and Grimmjow for Clair when she finished. She ordered her drink and food as well.
As the waiter left Atsuko's voice was heard. "Tora-chan! Where are you and your lovely new boyfriend?" He was practically skipping out of the kitchen to come over to them. And Ichigo could swear he saw little flowers and sparkles surrounding him.
'He's so gay…' Was what crossed both boys' minds as he came to stop by Tora's side.
"Well it looks like I was right! He is quite the handsome catch isn't he?" Ichigo scowled at him, wanting him to go away. "You, Clair, and Yue have such nice taste in boys!"
"I'm still single so I'm not sure why my name was in there." Clair said as she tended to her violin.
"Yes but look at the hunk of a man you've managed to catch! Knowing you I bet he's rather muscular under that shirt of his too." He said in a sly voice as his eyes scanned Grimmjow.
"OKAY! You are getting way to gay on me right now tone it down about three notches!" Clair said glaring at him.
"How about ten notches." Grimmjow whispered quiet enough that only Ichigo heard him.
"Joy kill…" Atsuko complained but carried on talking with Tora. After about two minutes Clair came to the front of the stage, and everyone started to quiet down besides for the occasional whisperings: "I wonder what she'll sing today?" "Shh she's starting!" "I love her violin solos." Were just a few that Grimmjow managed to pick out.
The two boys exchanged a look both wondering how much better she was with her instrument in hand. Then she started playing.
"Ah… Ave Maria… She's been practicing…" Atsuko said his voice just barely above a whisper as he closed his eye's to listen. Ichigo propped his elbows on the table and laced his fingers together so he could rest his chin on the as he too closed his eyes and listened.
Grimmjow however couldn't take his eyes off of Clair. She looked so peaceful as she played as if the music was all there was. Her eyes closed and a small pleased smile touched her lips. He managed to pry his eyes away from her to look around at others in the building.
Most had their eyes closed as they listened to the melody that floated through the air. Others were watching Clair in awe. No one dared break the peaceful moment that had wrapped itself around them.
Grimmjow's eyes turned back to Clair as she played the last few bars of the slow melody. When she finished her eyes opened half way as if she had only just woken from a pleasant dream, a soft smile gracing her lips. She looked over at their table and locked on his eyes for a moment before looking away slightly blushing.
Tora jumped up and clapped over excitedly the first to break the silence that had followed the song. "Tora…" Ichigo complained at her antics, but smile in spite of himself. Clair was very good with a violin. He looked over at Grimmjow who was still wide-eyed in awe and poked him in the ribs.
"Ow! What was that for?"
"You were spacing out!" Ichigo replied with a grin, "So what did you think?"
"Really really good." He said looking the other way as the clapping died down.
"Thank you! Now I shall sing and play several love songs in order to embarrass my friend and her new boyfriend." Clair grinned mischievously at them. She began singing Kiss the Girl.
Ichigo and Tora blushed causing Grimmjow to laugh, which earned him an elbow to his ribs via Starwberry. 'Heehee he really looks like one right now too.' Grimmjow thought to himself still laughing.
Clair looked over at them and had to try really hard not to laugh at them. If they thought this was the only one well ye be warned, she had at least four other songs ready to use.
"Me wonders if the two of you have kissed yet?" Clair asked after finishing a wicked grin on her face. Both of their blushes became deeper. "More blush I'm not sure if that's a yes or not."
"SHUT UP CLAIR! It is none of your business!"
"Yes then." Even deeper blushes appeared-if that was even possible- "Very yes it seems." She and Grimmjow lost it.
"Shut it!" Tora told her crossing her arms defiantly as she looked away. Ichigo let his head hit the table.
"How about ~Can You Feel the Love Tonight~ next." Clair suggested singing the title.
"I will hate you till the end of time if you do! Not like you could you don't have anyone to help you sing the different parts."
"I'll just sing them myself."
"Don't you dare!"
"Too late!" She started playing the song. Ichigo slid down in his chair slightly and Tora buried her face in his shoulder mumbling about the different ways she was going to kill her.
Depending on who was singing in the song Clair would change the pitch of her voice to give the impression of more people singing. Tora continued to mutter until Atsuko put a hand on her shoulder and smiled gently at her. "Fine I guess I don't hate her that much." She grumbled as they finished listening.
Ichigo put his arm around her and whispered something to her making her cheer up. Grimmjow was amazed by how gentle Ichigo could be after seeing how fierce he could be in battle. He wondered if he was like that around Clair. 'That might explain how he's able to tell I like her… it's still strange to admit it…' 'You haven't admitted it until you've said it out loud idiot.' 'No one asked for your opinion.'
Right after finishing the song she started a violin only song. It was a tad faster paced then Ave Maria, but not so fast that it lost it's peaceful feeling. "Ah! I wonder if this is that new song she told me she was working on!" Tora said brightening up. Her eyes sparkled as she let the melody wrap around her. "It makes me think of a creek in the deep forest."
"Yeah and wildlife roaming around, birds chirping, and fawns playing the water… I wonder if she'll help me with my one assignment." Ichigo commented with his eyes closed as he imagined the forest that the music described.
"Assignment?" Grimmjow mumbled, unsure of anything the two had just said. 'What do they mean a forest and wildlife and shit?'
"Close your eyes and let the music take hold of your mind." Atsuko whispered seeing the confused look on his face. Grimmjow nodded slowly and did as he was told. It took a few second but as he listened he was indeed able to see what Tora and Ichigo had described to him. The trees, the birds, the creek everything… but he felt something was missing from the scene.
"Well that was my newest creation, I haven't titled it yet, or thought of any lyrics but it should be done within the next few weeks." A few whooped and hollered in excitement. Clair smiled sheepishly at the attention. "The next song my 'to sing list' Not Just Make-Believe." She said with a wink to her friends.
Said friends tried hard not to laugh at how well the song fit since Clair and Tora had both thought that Grimmjow and Ichigo were fictional, or rather just make-believe. It was just then that Tora caught sight of someone new coming over to their table.
He was tall, maybe six feet. His sleeveless coat showed off lightly sun kissed arms that were wrapped in lithe but powerful looking mussel. The coat itself was such a dark red it almost looked black aside from the red fire burst in the front. It was zipped closed and the tall collar was standing up hiding the sides of his lower face. The front stopped at his waist but from the side of his hips back was long reaching down past mid calf by an inch or two. He wore dark jeans that were a bit baggy and slightly ripped in a few places. His hair was covered by a black cap that had red cross on it, but from the looks of it, it was either dark red or black. His eyes were shadowed by the lip of the hat.
He leaned down and whispered something in Tora's ear. She gasped then giggled drawing Ichigo's attention. "Hey Ichi, does Grimmjow like like Clair?"
"Yeah why and who is-?"
"You'll see." She whispered back to the newcomer who nodded then left heading for the sound system on the other side of the stage.
Grimmjow poked Ichigo's shoulder, "What and who was that?" Ichigo shrugged just as confused. He had never seen this man before.
Just as Clair finished her song there was the clicking sound of something being plugged into the sound system. And new beat began to play. Clair turned ready to yell at who ever messed with it but stopped as the man jumped onto the stage. He took off his hat revealing dark blood red hair and electric green eyes that flicked in the direction of the table her friends were at.
Clair glanced over her shoulder as he began singing For Your Entertainment. Tora was smirking, Ichigo looked confused, and Grimmjow was starting to look irritated and that irritation only increased as Clair started to dance with the green-eyed stranger.
Grimmjow's fist clenched as he watched the man dance and sing with Clair. 'Who the Frick does he think he is?! And what the Frick does he think he's doing dancing with Clair?! She's mine!' 'No she's not, not till you tell her how you feel and she accepts you as her ma- boyfriend I guess is what it's call here huh?' 'Shut it Pantera!' He had this pain in his chest that he really didn't like and the more he watched Clair dance with that man the more it hurt. He didn't like it, not one bit.
Ichigo began to catch one to what was happening when Clair started to dance after glancing back at them. 'They're trying to make Grimmjow jealous. That's why Tora asked if he liked her she was making sure.' He looked at Grimmjow, he looked like he was about to explode. His jaw and fist were clenched as tight as possible, and he was glaring daggers at the man on stage. 'Looks like their little plan succeeded.'
The song finished and Clair hugged the man, and Ichigo could feel the waves of jealousy rolling off Grimmjow. People all over the restaurant were asking each other if they knew who he was but no one seemed to have the answer.
Clair took the mike, "Ok that was unplanned but a nice little surprise. Everyone I'd like to introduce someone very special to me," Ichigo saw Grimmjow grow more tense with the four words, "This is Phoenix, my older brother."
All the tension and fight instantly melted from Grimmjow's frame it be replaced with utter confusion. "Older… Brother…" his face contorted into a WTF face, "Who the Frick dances with their little sister like that while singing a song like That!" He spat a little loader then he had meant too.
Phoenix took the mike from Clair, "An older brother that wants to piss off, torment, and just plain out mind f*** the guy who is likes his sister. OW!"
"Don't swear!" Clair slapped the back of his head.
"Whatever. Anyway it's the unwritten rule of all older brothers: screw with any guy coming after little sister. I'm sure all the older brothers in here would agree with me on that."
Ichigo nodded and smiled sheepishly, "I do it all the time to Toshiro." He told Grimmjow who still seemed confused. Others in the room were nodding in agreement about the rule.
"While it's nice to know that you have probably scared away half the boys who would have otherwise asked me out," Clair said glaring at her brother who looked the other way and whistled a random tune, "it doesn't explain what you are doing here in Japan."
"Do I need a reason to see my little sister?" He asked innocently.
A pause, "Yes." She said plainly and bluntly.
"I'm wounded!" He grabbed the area over his heart, but laughed. Well till he saw Clair glaring at him suspiciously. He sighed in resignation, "Okay… I'll tell you Clair…" He started as he got his Itouch from the sound board, "After Yue's concert this weekend! HAHAHAH!" He jumped off the stage and ran to the door far from Clair's reach. "I'm going to go unpack my stuffs at your place see ya!" and then he was gone.
"Jerkface…" Clair muttered but smiled anyway she was truly happy to see her brother though she'd never admit it aloud… at least not to his face. "Well… on with the torture of my dearest friends Tora and Kurosaki!"
"Shit!" Tora said under her breath. Ichigo laughed however making her glare at him, but he was unfazed.
"It's not that bad, I'm sure she wouldn't do this if she didn't care." She nodded at his words know he was right teasing each other was just how those in their circle of friends showed they cared. Her breath caught in her throat as Clair began her next song.
"Brand New Breeze." She whispered, it was the opening song for one of her favorite animes, she and Clair had watched it two or three times already just for the music. After the song was over Clair put her violin away and got down off the stage and sat in the empty seat.
"Hey Atsuko can you ask the kitchen for a glass of Mtn. Dew and the shrimp platter please?"
"Sure can be back in a jiff!"
"And the magical fairy pranced away." Ichigo said blandly as he watched the man retreat, this however got him a nice hard slap to the back of his head from Tora. "OW! You know it's true!"
"Doesn't mean you can say it with such a boring tone." She told him trying not to laugh.
"Yeah you need to say it a bit more like: And the dazzling fairy prince skipped through the air with an unmatched grace about him~" Clair restated dramatically using her hands to emphasize. They all laughed as they tried to out do each others dramatic telling till eventually they ended up with a three minute story told by none other then Grimmjow.
"You're surprisingly very good at storytelling Grimmjow." Ichigo commented as he wiped some tears from the corner of his eyes.
"I had to do something to keep that little twerp Nel occupied." He shrugged as he began eating again. "She wasn't so bad when she was in her adult form but as a kid uhg." He shivered at the memory.
"I can't say which I like better I she's nearly killed me in both forms… but I'd say adult Nel is better 'cause she can fight." Ichigo sat back in his chair as he remembered back to his time in Las Noches.
"So what have you been up to all day then Clair?" Tora asked taking a sip of her water.
"Well I was working on the next chapter's manuscript, and Grimm was awestruck by Lord of the Rings."
"I was Not awestruck!" Grimmjow protested.
"Coulda' fooled me, what with all the questions and stuff."
"So what they were the first movies I've ever seen! I just really like the fighting and stuff."
"The 'and stuff' being the plot, the costumes, the special effects, the landscapes, the weapons, oh and Araw-"
"OKAY WE GET IT!" Grimmjow cut her off or tried to anyway.
"Arwen."
"Seriously!? Grimmjow you have a fantasy crush and you haven't even been in the living world for a week." Ichigo wiped a fake tear away from his eye, "I'm so proud, you have very good taste too it seems."
"Shut up Kurosaki!" Grimmjow huffed blushing in embarrassment.
"So other then the obvious who is your favorite character?" Tora asked, "Or rather who is everyone's favorite?"
"I think Aragorn and Sam are cool." Ichigo stated before he took a bite of his food.
"Sam? Why Sam?" Tora asked confused, "I get Aragorn, but I would have thought you'd say Gandalf or Legolas."
"Well I like them too, but Sam stands out to me more. I mean he was just always there you know."
"Agreed," Grimmjow started, "But I think Legolas and Merry and Pippin are my favorites."
"Merry and Pippin?" Now Tora was really confused, "You Grimmjow like Merry and Pippin?"
"Yeah so what? They were kind of lame at the beginning but during the second one they showed what they were made of. They didn't take no for an answer and started a freaking uprising. They were able to do what no one thought they could." Ichigo and Tora were agape by everything that had just come out of Grimmjow's mouth.
"I think you just described Kurosaki to a T personally." All eyes turned to Clair, "I mean think about it, by breaking into the Soul Society you managed to change everything. When you were told you couldn't or that you wouldn't be able to you did it anyway. I.E. learning bankai, rescuing Inoue, and defeating Aizen. Just to name a few. Though at the same time you could be compared to Sam as well. He's Loyal, he stood by Frodo through everything, and he never gave up even in the darkest times… well you did have a few moments of depression but hey we can't all be perfect." She waved her hand at the last bit like it didn't really matter to her.
"Wow… now that you mention it I think you're right…" Tora said staring at Ichigo who was shifting uncomfortably in his seat.
"And he does have those random funny moments like Merry and Pippin." Grimmjow added smirking. Ichigo glared at him. "I got to watch some Bleach at Clair's yesterday."
"Whatever… you haven said your favorite Clair."
"Legolas and Aragon."
"Why?" Grimmjow asked Clair waited till he took a drink.
"Because they're hot." That drink Grimmjow took yeah he was choking on it now. "I mean come on, a graceful Elvin archer of the woodlands, and a Ranger turned King who can still look that good even though he's eighty-seven, what girl wouldn't fall head over heels?" Tora was trying not to laugh as Clair spoke as if only discussing the weather. Ichigo was rubbing Grimmjow's back to help him recover from choking. "I'm not entirely sure what you are freaking out about. I said they're hot, but I'm fairly sure I told you on Monday that you were at the top of my 'hot and badass guys' list."
Tora burst out laughing at Grimmjow's horrified face that was completely covered in blush. Ichigo was laughing at him now too as he sputtered trying to sound out a coherent sentence. Clair simply smiled a charming smile and continued eating. "So Tora who's your favorite?" Grimmjow hung his head in mass embarrassment.
"Hmm… I'd have to agree with you on your choices and reasonings, but I also like Faramir."
They continued to talk -Grimmjow eventually joining back in- for the next hour or so. They shared their favorite and lest favorite scenes and told some quotes. Though after awhile the inevitable happened and Ichigo and Grimmjow started to fight, garneted it was only with words but Clair was done hearing them argue over which fight was the best. She stood up and went to stand between the two, she placed a hand on their heads making them pause in confusion. Then WACK!
"OW DAMNIT!" Both yell hold their heads that had just been slammed into the others.
"I don't want to hear it! You are noisy and annoying so shut up! I'm tired of listening to you bicker like little kids on a playground!" Clair told them her tone low and threatening, they looked up to see a very pissed off woman glaring down at them. A dangerous aura rolling off her daring them to start fighting again. Neither were brave enough –Gimmjow 'cause he didn't want to get kicked out or get on her bad side any further, and Ichigo 'cause he knew how scary and angry chick could be(lots of experience)- to take her up on that challenge and apologized.
"Haha you guys better watch it! When she wants to Clair can kick ass, she's way stronger then she let's on!" Tora chuckled at their reactions as Clair sat back down. "She could probably kick both your guys asses!" Ichigo and Grimmjow stared at Clair expectantly.
"I haven't a clue as to what you could possibly be referring to Tora so kindly shut it."
"You know exactly what I'm talking about, why just last week you beat that gang of what eight guys in all of two minutes flat." Tora stated proudly as if she had done it herself.
"I'm not the only one here who can take on a gang by myself Tora, or are you forgetting that Kurosaki gets attacked too." Tora shrugged and waved her off, "Besides I know my limits I'd probably only last two or so minutes against either of them way less if I went against both at the same time. I may be a black belt but I'm not that good."
"Aw you don't give yourself enough credit. The only people I've seen you lose too are our brothers."
"Speaking of brothers have you told yours that you have a boyfriend now?" Tora cringed. "Didn't think so. Good luck Kurosaki, you'll be lucky if he doesn't try to beat you to a bloody pulp just to see if you are worthy enough of his sister. Though he may just try and kill you. He is her older brother after all." Clair sighed as she pushed her now empty plate away from herself.
"Um… thank for the heads up…" He said nervously as he shot Tora a glare for not warning him. He turned to the front when he saw something being waved in front of him. "The tickets?"
"Yep, I threw one in for your dad too, since I figure if he doesn't get one he'll ball like a little baby."
"Heh …true enough… I honestly have no idea how the three of us came out so normal with him as our father…"
"We all wonder the same thing Kurosaki don't worry you are not alone."
"Thanks and 'Ichigo' is fine." He smiled as he put the tickets in his pocket.
"Sure thing, you ready to go Grimm?" Clair asked standing.
"Yeah." He stood as well, "See ya Kurosaki."
"That earlier statement applies to you too Grimmjow." Grimmjow looked confused. "Ichigo is fine, I hate formality and shit like that." He still looked confused but nodded as he followed Clair to the door.
"See ya at the concert Tora, Ichigo." Clair waved over her shoulder as she left.
"Alright Mr. spill. Why didn't you tell me you were a shinigami? I told you I can sometimes feel the presence of spirits and you were just like 'oh that's cool'." Tora asked Ichigo.
"Why didn't you tell me I was an anime?" Ichigo countered.
"Crap…"

*Sigh*
Grimmjow looked at Clair wondering why she had given such a large sigh. "What's up?"
"I have no idea how Phoenix is going to react to learning that you are living with me. Though I suspect he already knows." She let out another sigh.
"So what's the problem?"
"Well the way I see it he'll react one of two ways: he'll either tease me about it and be all dramatic saying how I've become a real woman or something. Or he'll yell at me asking if I'm insane. Neither appeal to me." Clair explained as the came to the house.
As they entered they heard laughter, following the sound they found Phoenix on the floor laughing and the TV screen paused on Ichigo freaking out. "Wait what epi-oh Yuroichi showing her true form." Phoenix could only manage a nod a first, but eventually calmed down.
"No matter how many times I see it I still laugh his reaction is just too funny."
"So are you unpacked?" He nodded sitting up but staying on the floor. "How long are you staying?" Shrug, "Are you planning on getting your own place or are you planning on mooching off of me?"
"I have a job thank you I'm not a moocher. I can pay for stuff." He told as he un-paused the episode. "I put my things in the bedroom by the bathroom."
"Oh…um…ok well…"
"I will want a full explanation on how Grimmjow came to stay here but not right now that can wait till tomorrow. I'm busy at the moment." He told her completely nonchalantly.
Clair was dumbfounded by his lack of reaction to her living with a man. "Ok…Well I have to go finish some work then I'm going to bed. No fighting I have to wake up early in the morning."
"Can do sleep tight." Phoenix waved at her eyes glued on the screen. Grimmjow nodded and she left for her art room. Grimmjow sat on the opposite side of the couch from her brother.
The sat in silence aside from the occasional snickering at Ichigo's silliness till the episode and the next was over. Phoenix stood up and stretched, he shoved his hands in his pockets and headed toward the hallway but stopped short.
"I don't know about you but I know my sister cares for you, so a word to the wise. If you lead her on in to thinking you care for her but actually don't, or so much a scratch her," He paused long enough to turn slightly and send a threatening look at Grimmjow, "I swear I will personally escort you to the gates of Hell and shove you through. Do you understand?" Grimmjow held his gaze and nodded. "Good, then we shouldn't have a problem, you and I. Good night." He went to his room leaving Grimmjow to his thoughts.
'He has a very strong presence but I don't think it's spiritual pressure. Maybe it's just a big brother thing, cause he only had it just now.' 'No there is something more to that boy.' 'What do you mean?' Grimmjow asked Pantera as he headed for his room.
'I'm not completely sure myself but, now that he's here I'm getting a strange feeling from both of them. Keep an eye out okay?'
"I really don't think it's anything to worry about," Grimmjow said aloud more to himself then to Pantera, "Besides I have no intention of hurting Clair." He curled up and went to sleep.

The big Brother enters! DUN DUN DU~N! And yes he is based off of my real big brother that I have mentioned before in these little author's notes that I really don't think anyone takes the time to read because they never answer the questions I ask.
So what did you all think? Good? Bad? Too slow? Too boring? Too random? Were my song choices ok? Were Ichigo and Grimmjow to out of character? Should I write the three minute story that Grimmjow told about the dazzling fairy prince named Atsuko?
Also if you go to my profile there is a link to my deviantart gallery where I have pictures of my oc's
