A/N: My motivation is still holding me hostage. He's mean. He doesn't know I'm typing this. Hi.

I own the idea.

Chapter 10

As Urahara went to get the door, Grimmjow closely followed, eager to greet them. She'd been fairly bored the last few hours. She threw her jacket into a closet as they walked by it, since they were inside. She didn't even know everyone who was coming, save for Ichigo and Isshin.

When they got to do door, Grimmjow was tapping her hand against her thigh to distract her for the few moments it took for Urahara to open the door. When he did, there was more people than Grimmjow expected.

There was Big Tits, Mexican Guy, weird looking skinny kid who uses the bow, Ichigo and his dad, then some other chick with dark hair who Grimmjow never met, or at least didn't remember. She's not so great with names... or faces.

Not long after the door was opened, everyone piled in. Some, not many, mumbled so greetings to Grimmjow, to which she replied with a short 'sup'. Something she picked up on TV not to long ago. She was proud to say she was getting used to human ways, even if they were retarded.

"Hey Grimmjow," Ichigo greeting as he came in last, "There's something I want to tell you-"

He started but he was cut off by Urahara silencing everyone with a loud whistle. Everyone looked at him.

"Hello everyone, and welcome to my humble candy store. I've called you all here today for a 'welcome home' party for a certain someone! I'll let her handle it from here!" He shouted and pulled Grimmjow up to the front, much to her surprise. Everyone stared at her, some stares holding malice, while others were more neutral.

"Uh... Sup." Grimmjow said awkwardly and then walked back to where Ichigo was. Everyone was silent for a few moments before laughter erupted, causing Grimmjow to glare at the shopkeeper and blush slightly.

Ichigo, who was laughing like everyone else, put a hand on her shoulder and it didn't take long for Grimmjow herself to start laughing a bit.

"Well everyone," Ichigo said for her, "This is Grimmjow. A woman of many words, as you can tell. Make her feel at home."

Ichigo kept it short, and the hateful stares seemed to die down a bit as everyone seemed to see Grimmjow as less of a threat. She'd assumed they'd all been told of her new situation when they were on their way here, and wasn't sure how they'd react to it.

It didn't take long for the party to get started, Ichigo noticed. He stayed with Grimmjow the whole time and kind of directed the conversations in a way. He'd be willing to bet that she'd made a few friends too. He was actually surprised at how well she got along with the others.

She was currently making plans with Tatsuki for a sparring match. The two became quick friends when they found out about each others fighting obsessions. Tatsuki didn't know everything about Grimmjow actions during the war, so that might have helped their relationship.

Orihime was quick to start talking to Grimmjow after Tatsuki, seeing as she was best friends with Tatsuki too. Chad kept his pleasantness with Grimmjow after she thanked him for saving her. She promised to pay him back sometime. Uryu, however, was a different story. He was awful to Grimmjow all night. She almost hit him at one point, but Ichigo stopped her.

All in all, Grimmjow was getting accepted into their little clique, as strange as that sounds. Right now, the party was starting to die down, and people were gonna start leaving in a half hour or so. Ichigo still hadn't gotten a chance to tell Grimmjow yet.

He walked up behind her as her conversation started to end and tapped her on the shoulder. She spun around and faced him as he stared into her eyes, which was slowly becoming his favorite feature on her. He liked the color of her eyes.

"You wanna get out of here?" He asked and she got confused.

"You want me to leave? Why?" She asked, her face cocked to the right and an eyebrow raised. He thought that face was cute as hell.

"No, no... Well, kind of. I want you to leave with me. I'll take you somewhere. Just us." He sounded more nervous than he thought he was. She was quiet for a minute and looked like she was thinking, but all Ichigo could think was how cute she looked.

"I'd like that." She answered after what seemed like an eternity, but in reality was only a few seconds. Ichigo smiled at her.

"Great. Get your coat, I'll go tell dad and Kisuke." She nodded and disappeared in the crowd as Ichigo went to find his dad.

He saw him and Kisuke on the other end of the room engrossed in a conversation and made his way over, getting both of their attention.

"Hey. I wanted to tell you guys that me and Grimmjow are going to go out somewhere." He said and his dad gave him a reassuring nod while Kisuke eyed him intensely.

"Alright. Don't let anything happen to her, and you better have her back before midnight." The shopkeeper said in a stern voice that intimidated Ichigo slightly. He was a bit surprised by the shopkeepers rare blatant display of protectiveness, but smiled at him.

"Yes, sir." Ichigo said, the way a boyfriend would say to his girlfriends dad. Kisuke eyed him once more before nodding again and Ichigo took off, not looking for any reason to stay.

He made his way back to the door and saw Grimmjow standing there with her new leather coat on and picked up his pace a bit until he was right in front of her.

"Ready to go?" He asked, looking into her eyes again.

"Whenever you are, carrot top." She said with a slight grin and he smiled back. She was one of the few people who could call him that and get away with it, which was one of the things he liked most about her. He opened the door and motioned for her to go through first. He followed after.

Grimmjow was a tad bit nervous, but she made sure not to let any of it show as Ichigo followed her out of the shop. She knew he'd been trying to tell her something all night, but never got the chance much to her disappointment.

"So where are we going anyway?" She asked, turning back to look at him.

"I have an idea. You'll see. There's a lot of perks about the human world that you'll learn about soon enough. Follow me." He said and took Grimmjow's hand in his own. She smiled and blush a bit as he did, much to her own frustration. There's gotta be something wrong with this Gigai. I never blush.

The thought was lost when Ichigo started walking again. She followed beside him, not letting him take the lead all the way, and she kept their hand's at her side, making their shoulders brush against each other every once in a while. He didn't seem to mind.

"Can't you just tell me where we're going? I don't like surprises, Ichigo." Grimmjow whined a bit, but Ichigo didn't slow down, instead just chuckled a bit.

"You'll like this one." He said.

Grimmjow was steadily growing more excited as he led her towards the outskirts of the city in a comfortable silence. He ended up taking her to the very edge of town and turn around and pointed to a large wall from a building on the edge.

When Grimmjow looked, she was actually really surprised to see that the wall was a lot of different colors somehow. There was pictures and designs and names were written every where.

"Whoa," Grimmjow said as she ran her eyes from corner to corner, reading all the names, "How did all these names get here?" She demanded to know, because her cat like curiosity took over by now.

"I'll show you." He said as he led her towards the wall. In the corner were two cans, one blue and one orange. Ichigo picked up the orange one and pointed it at the wall. He made his name appear on medium sized blank spot by pushing down the top. Grimmjow got close and saw that it was spraying something out of the can. Ichigo smirked at her before throwing the blue can at her.

"You try." He said and Grimmjows eyes widened.

"Are you sure? I've never done it before." She said quietly.

"Neither have I, I was waiting for someone to take here. It's easy, give it a go." He said with a smirk.

Grimmjow walked up to it with some confidence and wrote her name under the tiny '+' sign Ichigo made under his name. It looked a tad bit sloppy, but it wasn't the messiest one on there by far. She smirked at her handiwork as she read, 'Ichigo + Grimmjow' on the wall, in it's own little area.

"See? That wasn't too bad now, was it?" Ichigo said, slightly teasing her.

In retaliation, Grimmjow kicked him in the shin.

"Ow!" He said, even though she was sure it didn't hurt that bad, he rubbed his shin a second before taking her hand again.

"Come on, no time for screwing around. Kisuke put me on a tight schedule and there's one more place I want you to see." He said and led her again. She wondered briefly what he meant by Kisuke putting him on a schedule, but forgot about it as Ichigo led her out of the city. He took her to some long steep stairs that went up a huge hill, and led her to the very top. When they got there, he gestured to the city and she looked.

The whole city was visible from this high up. She saw every light and every car driving.

"Wow, this is what it all looks like. It's beautiful." Right after she said that she regretted it, because of how girly it sounded, but if she was honest, it was true. He sat down on the grassy hilltop and she sat next to him.

"I can think of something better." Ichigo said and Grimmjow looked at him. He stared into her questioning eyes silently. Grimmjow wondered what he was thinking.

Her question was answered as he moved in and captured his lips with hers. Grimmjow was surprised but kissed back right away, enjoying his taste.

Tonight's a good night.

A/N: This is by far my favorite chapter so far. I'm happy with the way it turned out =3

I think I need to start staggering these chapters to give everyone a chance to read (and review =3) The others. Don't think just because this chap's up that I don't want reviews for the rest!

Anyway, review please. I love you all who review. Seriously. o.o
