I'm gonna try to update on a schedule from now on. So here is my next chapter I hope you guys like it ^_^ I've been staying up late to write these for you.

BTW, thanks to all the people that subscribed…I didn't expect to get as many as I did. :)

Rukia

A while back Ichigo reluctantly agreed to split up and search for clues that might help us. He's so overprotective. I guess I should be glad for it sense he always sticks up for me and everything. The last thing I saw before Ichigo swept me in his arms was Captain of squad 2 and Icalyoda. I had to tell someone. But who could I trust? Everyone was out looking for Ichigo, Icalyoda, and me. That's when it struck me. Of course. I raced off in the direction of the person I knew I could trust no matter what. Making sure that no one was around to see me I quickly opened his door and closed it back. He turned around in surprise.

"Rukia! What are you doing here?" He asked me with wide eyes.

"I'm sorry to disturb you Captain Ukitake but you seemed to be the only person I could turn too." I said sitting in front of him. The shiro looked at me understandingly. "I have news to tell you, that I couldn't tell the Head Captain without him taking me off to prison."

"Go on Rukia." He said anxiously.

"Well sir, Ichigo and I have encountered the intruder running around Seretei. His name is Icalyoda and he is best described as tall, has long white hair with bangs framing his face, and his shirt, pants, everything! Is completely white with the exception of a blue sash." My captain rubbed his chin lost in analytical thought.

"I see. Is there anything else?"

"Yes sir. What I have just told you Head Captain Yamamoto already knows probably due to Captain Soi Fon. But, I don't think he knows the background of the intruder and the power of his Zanpakuto. Just moments ago Ichigo and I encountered him and it seems that when his sword collides with that of another Soul Reaper, he is able to copy the abilities of their Zanpakuto and uses their power against them."

"Why, that's unheard of! That has to be the strongest Zanpakuto in history!"

"I understand but I'm afraid the news gets worse. He informed Ichigo and me that…" I couldn't get the words out.

"What is it Rukia?"

"That he was made from Hogyoku and that Aizen had sent him here for the Soul purpose of killing Ichigo." I let out a sigh of relief. Now someone knows.

"Impossible! How can this be? Aizen was sealed away by Kisuke Urahara! He's back?" He stood up and I followed his actions. "Thank you for sharing this with me Rukia. I must inform Head Captain of this Icalyoda. You should go to before someone finds you here." He suggested.

"Right! Thank you captain!" I turned to leave before he called out to me.

"Be careful Rukia!" I turned and gave him a smile.

"I will Captain!" With that I was gone. With a little persuasion Ichigo agreed to meet me at the secret training ground tomorrow. I didn't know where that was but it wasn't going to be hard to find Ichigo with him leaking out spiritual pressure. It was getting dark so I decided to rest in an abandoned warehouse. In my time as a Soul Reaper no one has ever visited this place. Not even once.

Grimmjow

Dammit! Where was she? Every time I had gotten close her spiritual pressure moved. Where was she running off to? After a while her spiritual pressure ceased to move and even became harder to detect. I guessed she was hiding herself. But from who? I perched myself on one of the buildings and looked down on an old warehouse of some sort. She must be in there. I jumped down and opened the door just in time to see her jump up in surprise. I grinned to myself pleased with her reaction.

"G-Grimmjow! What are you doing here!" She grabbed her Zanpakuto and held it out in front of her.

"Hey. Hey. What's with the hostility towards the person who saved your life a while ago?" I remember that day perfectly. How cute she looked with blood on her face. The way she felt under my hands when I lifter her up. And the look of determined resistance in her eyes when I tried to help her.

"You're the one that endangered it in the first place!" She whispered angrily. "And keep your voice down idiot." I went over and sat next to her. She seemed unafraid now and put back her sword.

"Here a better question. Why are you in here? Hiding from someone are we?" I mocked earning another glare from the petite Soul Reaper.

"Why should I tell you anything Grimmjow?" She said my name with such distaste.

"Well that's just it. You don't have to tell me a thing?" She huffed. "I'll just stay right here until you do." She looked at me with disbelief. There was a brief moment of silence before she broke it.

"Ichigo and I escaped from prison so we split up and decided to meet up in the morning, satisfied?" She snarled. I nodded and rested my head back.

"Yep. So you wanna tell me what's going on?"

"What are you talking about?" She didn't bother to open her eyes.

"The Sereitei, duh." The girl beside me suddenly became tense.

"Why should I tell you anything? For all I know you're still working for Aizen." It was my turn to become tense. I flared with anger.

"Don't ever put me in the same sentence as that bastard!" A small gasp escaped her. "I'm done with him understand." She didn't respond for a while.

"Well…actually. Aizen is at work again and he has a new creation. His name is Icalyoda and he's caused Ichigo and me quite a bit of trouble." My laugh caught her off guard.

"Since Aizen's involved, I'm gonna help you out."

"Why would you do that?"

"Two reasons. 1. Because I hate Aizen. 2. Because of you." I could bring myself to say it right out the box.

"Because of…me?" I let out a long awaited sigh.

"You don't get it…do ya?"

Rukia

I was left alone in a ware house with Grimmjow. He was going to help me out? I wouldn't believe it if he didn't get so angry when I suggested he was aligned with Aizen.

"You still don't get it…do ya?" In reality I didn't. Here was my former enemy saying that he was helping me…because of me? The answer became crystal clear when the blue-haired Espada pressed his lips against mine before I had time to refuse. I could feel his hand slip around my waist and pull me into his lap. His other hand wrapped around my back holding me in place as he pushed himself into my mouth. Without hesitation I pushed him away and scurried off his lap.

"G-Grimmjow!" I said covering my mouth. "W-What d-did…w-why did—"

"Because…ever since that day back in Karakura Town…I couldn't stop thinking about you." Was it possible? Did he actually like me? An Espada? Great just what I needed. Now three guys like me. I regained my composure and put on a serious face.

"I'm with Ichigo, Grimmjow."

"Oh, so it's Strawberry I'm competing with. Don't worry I'm backing off now but I'm not quitting." He said with a rather cute smile. I decided to leave it at that, not really knowing what else to say.

"Go to sleep you idiot." With that I closed my eyes and dozed off. Waiting for what was to come tomorrow.

Ichigo

It's been hours since I agreed with Rukia to split up and hide until morning. She thought it could throw the other Soul Reapers off. I decided to go to the secret training grounds and rest there for the night hoping that Renji wouldn't come looking for me. At the top of the cliff I looked out over Sereitei. I had hoped Rukia was alright but something didn't settle with me.

'Yo! What the hell was that, dumbass?' I sighed. Not my idea of a peaceful night alone.

'What are you talking about?'

'You let that guy escape. If it were me I would've hunted 'em down and finished 'em off.'

'Yea but it wasn't you out there so just shut up!' I leaned back on one of the rocks knowing he wouldn't listen to me. I let him rant on and on about how weak I was.

'…and another thing…you're too dumb to even notice a certain someone that's with our Rukia.' I shot straight up. I tried to ignore his comment about Rukia being 'ours' and tried to concentrate on what he was talking about.

'What the hell do you mean someone's with Rukia?'

'Just like I said…and by their spiritual pressure…I'd say he's enjoyin' himself.' He enjoyed teasing and tormenting me knowing I couldn't sense spiritual pressure…at all.

'Who is it!' I shouted in my head. If anyone was with Rukia I had a right to know.

'Psh. Like I'd ever tell you. Maybe if you let me out then I'll find her for you.' He sneered.

'Whatever…forget it.' I ignored him the rest of the night. Whoever was with Rukia…I would just have to trust her not to cheat on me. But this thought didn't keep me from worrying about her safety. I knew she was capable of handling herself and didn't need me by her side to protect her every second. But still…

I woke up with renewed strength as I felt a familiar touch graze my face. My eyes opened to meet that of a violet eyed girl.

"Rukia! What're you—"

"It's morning stupid." She said giving me a loving smile. "I know you can't sense spiritual pressure so I came to you. And another thing…" I was suddenly kicked square in the cheek. The force sent me flying into the next available rock. Groaning, I picked myself off the ground and stared at an angry Rukia.

"What did you do that for Grimmjow!" She screamed. That name sent chills down my spine. Gazing over to where she was looking sure enough the 'number 6' Espada was there cheesing, his grin stretching from ear to ear.

"Oh c'mon Rukia. It was just a little wake up call." He said. Before he saw me coming I introduced my fist to his stomach. Slapping my hands together I gathered Rukia in my arms quickly brushing my lips against hers as Grimmjow was now getting off the ground.

"Guess I deserved that." I said clutching his stomach.

"What are you doing here Grimmjow?" I said not releasing my hold on Rukia. He let go of his stomach and straightened out his posture. Giving me a light grin he gave his answer.

"Not only am I here to help you out but…I'm here…to steal Rukia away from you." ….

"Rukia…you might want to place a binding spell on me…NOW!"
