They both sat on the ground silently, heads leaning on the wall behind them. Then out of nowhere, Orihime shouted, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Grimmjow jumped and said, not facing her, "I... I think I thought of a way to get us back to normal.."

Without warning, Inoue twisted her broad body and grasped both of Grimmjow's scrawny shoulders and proclaimed, "Are you serious? Don't mess with me, because if you are, I swea-" "I'm serious!" he cut her off, "I think it had something to do with the building we were behind. If we were to go there again..." Even though it was his own body gripping him, Grimmjow blushed needlessly and stared fixedly at one spot on the ground, avoiding Inoue's eyes. Orihime's face contorted, confusedly and said, "Obaa-san?"

Now it was Grimmjow who blinked in surprise, "That building belongs to your grandma?" "No, baka. I've known that obaa-san ever since I've lived in my apartment, I just call her my grandma. She always gives me free ramen on Thursday nights. Of course, my food was loads better than that hag's." she bragged, "What do you mean, though? I don't remember anything happening there." "That's because I knocked you out.. sorry about that anyways.." Grimmjow replied, turning his head to stare at the ground again.

After a moment of silence, Orihime shook Grimmjow ferociously and asked, "Well! Aren't you gonna finish?" That snapped Grimmjow out of his reverie and he began again, "Right, sorry. Well when we were leaving the alley, I felt a strange, warm tingling along the bottom of my spine and I think that had something to do with us switching.." As Inoue stared blankly at him, he finished by saying, "That's it."

"That's it?" Orihime repeated. "That's it." he said again. Inoue released her grip on Grimmjow's shoulder and fell back onto the wall, and cried ludicrously, "That's it? There is nothing to go on! Just a hunch and a sappy tingling feeling in your back, SO WHAT? This is ridiculous." She stood up and brushed herself off, looking absolutely ready to leave.

Grimmjow felt immensely disheartened. He believed his theory good enough to return to the human world on. 'Was I really this stubborn?' he asked in his mind. He believed it was his growing human instincts that he wanted to return to the living world, his possible home. It was obvious why Orihime didn't want to go back, she didn't particularly enjoy humans at the moment. Inoue began striding away and Grimmjow called out, "Wait! Don't you notice anything about our feelings and personality fading away more rapidly than ever? It'll soon be gone!" Nothing broke this girl's concentration. So what would?

Finally, Grimmjow ripped out the big guns, "Think about Kurosaki!"

She froze where she stood. Grimmjow smiled in relief, 'If anything was going to get through that girl's head, it would be that orange haired weirdo.'

Inoue turned slowly to face Grimmjow, and grimaced, "I don't care about that idiotic mama's boy."

Grimmjow's mouth popped open. Orihime turned to walk away and Grimmjow just couldn't give up now. He sprinted down the hall and attached himself to her chiseled leg, yelling, "I don't like this body as much as you do! Please! Just-" She was cut off when Inoue kicked her leg upwards and Grimmjow's grip loosened, sending her flying across the hall, crashing into Szayel's door, going through it into his dark room, deafeningly loud.

One by one, the Espada's doors slid open and curious onlookers pried into the situation. Some shouting profanities, others snickering quietly, their voices carrying across the narrow hall. A piece of rubble shot out from the demolished, quiet room and headed straight for Orihime. She easily caught the rock in one hand and increased her hold on it, grinding it into dust with her bare hand.

Szayel came out of the pitch black which was his room, holding the lifeless figure by the collar and addressed Grimmjow, "As much as I would to examine this body, I can't because she's Aizen-sama's pet. And would kindly explain to me what happened here?" He threw the dirty human onto the ground face first and placed his hands on his hips. "Why do you care? This isn't any of your business." Inoue answered.

The mussed body stirred on the ground and groaned. "Ah, she's alive. Pity, I would like to see her die so you would go receive the death penalty from Aizen-sama, and leave along with her." Szayel said casually.

Orihime lost her temper and made for the pink haired Espada, but was blocked by a golden shield and she looked down grimly at the struggling woman. Grimmjow controlled his powers correctly this time and raised a hand which had ultimate power over the cage she had just built surrounding the aggrieved Espada. He used his free hand to shift into a kneeling position and glared intently at Inoue. Inoue rebelled against the cage holding her in and rapped repeatedly on the shield saying, "Mind letting me out, human?"

Grimmjow staggered next to the shield and put a hand on it and whispered, "Open a garganta to the human world, and we have a deal." Orihime's eyes widened and whispered in turn, "Are you crazy? We could both die if we leave Hueco Mundo now!"

Aaroniero shouted, "Talk louder! I can't hear a thing you're saying!" He was ignored.

This time, Grimmjow begged her, "Please. If I don't return to my body, I don't know what I'll do." He smiled weakly and chuckled. Inoue paused, staring into Grimmjow's amber colored eyes and caved in finally. Grimmjow released her from her bonds and trotted along carefully to the dungeon. The Espadas murmured among themselves, complaining how there was no more violence and disappeared into their rooms.

From behind them, Grimmjow and Orihime could hear Szayel's desperate cries, "Wha- what about my room? Grimmjow! Grimmy?"

The door slid closed and Grimmjow was already healed, seeing as how he healed his shattered leg while on the way. "So, are we-" Grimmjow again was cut off by Inoue, this time strangling him by the neck and passing out soon after. Holding Grimmjow under her arm, she opened a garganta as if it were second nature to her. Stepping through the parallel dimension, she said, "I want to be awake going through this thing this time around." Hopping out and stepping onto the cool concrete, she noticed it was night again.

'I wonder how long I've been in Hueco Mundo.' she pondered. The next few steps she took toward the restaurant were automatic, and she stepped right inside. The obaa-san leaned against the counter and attacked Orihime with a genuinely mischievous smile.

She rested her head upon her hands and croaked, "I've been expecting you." Pause. "Inoue."


The old lady is BACK! I made Orihime especially cruel. I can't believe she kicked poor defenseless Grimmjow! This chapter wasn't really funny, but it WILL be especially entertaining next chapter. I already have an idea in mind.

Oh, and before I forget, I won't be home tomorrow and I doubt I'll be able to upload on Saturday and I don't use the computer on Sundays so... no new chapter until Monday. :( I know, I'm sad too. Thanks for the WONDERFUL reviews! I've been able to use them for my future chapters, and YES, they will involve Kurosaki-kun. :)

More reviews would be STUPENDOUS. Thanks for reading!
