Frost

When the soul reapers were finished at the lake I was pleased to see that they didn't make numerous side stops, like the females had, and were headed right to Kurosaki's house as it became early evening.

"Hey Renji, wanna go out for saki tonight?"

"Nah, Urahara said I could use his training room tonight." Renji's posture slacked, probably at the thought that he had previous arrangements.

"Wait," The bald man grabbed a hold of his companions arm and stopped making him stop too. "There's a training ground here?"

"Yeah."

"Yumichika, change of plans. Tonight we train!"

Maybe this wasn't going to be such a waste of time if we were able to catch them training and talking about their battle plans.

"You may train because you're less than appealing but I want to protect my face." Yumichika didn't really come off to me as a powerful soul reaper but I can't really judge people.

After that the groups conversation basically went to random things that had nothing to do with us so my ears basically tuned everything out. As we got further into the living area of Karakura town the amount of powder still remaining on the ground grew.

"Ulquiorra." Grimmjow pulled my attention from the group, "Should we find a way to get into the house or wait outside."

By being pulled from my thoughts I noted that Kurosaki's house was just at the end of the street. "We'll probably be outside. When the group disperses again we'll follow those two to their training area." I stopped, and Grimmjow copied my lead, so as to put some space between us to not look suspicious. "We need to find a window that will be looking in on their meeting."

"Well their pressure is all on the ground floor so it shouldn't be that hard." We made sure that the group had entered the house before heading over; going up the side to keep out of the neighbors sight. From the shadows being casted in the lighted windows we found one that would most likely be the one to see into the meeting.

The window, however, was crusted with a kind of smudge and after a quick sweep I knew that we wouldn't be able to see in the house since the cold substance kept its place. From where we were standing the rest of the windows were also covered in the icy substance. "Looks like we'll just be listening tonight."

"Great, freaking great." Grimmjow leaned with his back against the wall, "Why the fuck do we have to wear these bodies? I'm freezing my ass off."

I knew the feeling as a cold wind blew through me. Rembering when my hands had frozen I unconsciously glanced at Grimmjow remembering how warm his hands and body had been then. No, no I am not weak I will not think about that.

I leaned up against the wall on the opposite side of the window and closed my eyes to concentrate better on the voices in the room.

At first it was just a jumble of voiced as everyone talked at once but after a minute or two only one person was speaking; Kurosaki.

"So hat and clogs believes that it will take about three more months before the hogyoku opens." His statement came out muffled and every time Grimmjow shifted he temporarily blocked out the conversation.

"Will you stop moving."

"You stop moving. Eevery time you rub your hands together I miss something."

"Shut up." I hadn't noticed that I had been rubbing my hands till the Sexta pointed it out. It was just so damn cold.

Grimmjow slid down the wall so that he was now sitting on the powered ground, "Fine."

After that it was substantially quieter and I was able to listen in on the groups different ideas on how to handle us when the moment came.

My body was freezing as it grew darker and I started shivering, a strange feeling that I didn't like as occasional chills ran up my back and arms.

"Are you alright Ulquiorra?" Grimmjow had a strange expression on his face that, if I didn't know the Sexta only cared about himself, I would think he was worried about me.

"I'm cold that's all." There was a pause before the Sexta grabbed a hold of my hand and pulled me down so I landed on his lap. "Let me go," I growled and attempted to free myself from the others grasp but due to my height I was at a disadvantage.

"Don't take this the wrong way I'm just doing this to keep you warm.

From the way Grimmjow had me positioned on his lap I was protected from the cold ground with his arms wrapped around my waist and his legs caging me in from the sides; he even rested his head between my shoulder blades.

We didn't talk and the silence wasn't awkward like it should have been but more like comfortable as we heated up.

I was even able to relax into the Sexta's chest as the time passed on and the conversation in the house changed from war strategies to something called Christmas that was coming up.

Grimmjow shifted behind me and in doing so pulled me more into his and moved his head so it rested on my shoulder with his face turned into my neck.

Another shiver ran down my spine and settled in my stomach.

"Ulquiorra?" I nodded, "Are you still cold or are you nervous."

"…Cold," I was never nervous.

"Hmp, alright. Don't worry no one will know about this as long as both of us keep our mouths shut."

I was fine with keeping this moment a secrete between the two of us.

Cute moment! My god it was cold today and I take the bus in the morning so the seats were freezing!
