Grimmjow says you're not allowed to throw anything at me. He's just found out that he gets Ichigo naked in a couple of chapters and doesn't want me put off. :-P

Sorry, actually got so caught up writing naughty stuff that I didn't get a chance to put this up. I did it as soon as I got home.

So we're seeing what happened to Ichigo and meeting more of his family in this chapter.

Chapter 10

Grimmjow watched Ichigo impact onto the car, his hips slamming onto the bonnet before rolling slightly so his shoulder shattered the windscreen. His momentum carried him up, over the roof, where he stopped and teetered for a moment, before sliding down the side. Grimmjow had been on his feet before Ichigo had been hit, but was still not in time to stop him crashing into the tarmac.

Grimmjow made it to his side just as the passenger's door opened, nearly smacking Yachiro on the head, as she lay on top of her cousin. Grimmjow kicked the door closed with his feet, putting a bit more effort than was absolutely necessary in. The large dent in the door was nothing compared to the damage on the front end. He bared his teeth at the woman behind the glass, warning her to not open her door again.

Ichigo's eyes were open in slits and unfocused. Yachiro was clinging to him, not letting Grimmjow pull her away. The driver got out of the car and stood wringing his hands as Grimmjow tried to get a better look at his friend. Eventually Grimmjow just snapped at him to call an ambulance, but the pathetic man just jumped in fear at the threat in his voice before apologising some more.

Grimmjow ripped the phone out of his pocket, using the emergency dialler for the first time. The lady on the phone got an earful as he demanded an ambulance. When he was asked about the victim, he told the girl as much as he could about Ichigo but couldn't answer even the most basic questions like his date of birth or his parent's number.

As he got off the phone he noticed that a fair sized crowd was gathering around. He even noticed a couple of people holding their phones out, clearly taking pictures of the accident. He growled at them and covered Ichigo's unmoving body better with his own. There was a lot of blood around, some from his clearly broken nose, some from his arm that had a worrying shaped lump between his wrist and elbow, a compound fracture. Thankfully for the small girl still clutching at him, the black shirt was disguising most of the damage, but he still needed her to let go and give him some room. One of the mother's from the park, with her own small girl came over.

"Can I help? Are you alright?" She concentrated on Grimmjow, who was entering shock at what he had witnessed.

"I need to look at him, but 'Chiro won't let go, I don't know what to do, she's probably hurt too." Grimmjow barely felt the hand on his shoulder, not taking his eyes off the man in front of him. He put two fingers in the curled hand in front of him and held on, trying to let the man know he wasn't alone.

"Hey baby girl, c-mon, we need to look at him, and he needs you to be a really good girl just now. He'll want you to get checked out first wouldn't he?" The woman smiled at the girl as she looked through her pink hair.

"He ok?" 'Chiro let the woman lift her off, mindful of the fact that she might have been injured. There is no evident blood or broken bones, but she still is very young and shouldn't be moved around much.

Finally the siren can be heard in the distance. The driver of the car moves towards his vehicle but the onlookers stop him from being able to get in the car. Grimmjow didn't know if he planned on driving off, to avoid getting into trouble but he didn't waste any time worrying about the prat. Grimmjow was forced back as the paramedics swarmed round Ichigo. He was quickly scooped onto a silver back brace, a huge purple collar round his neck to hold him steady. His eyes were still barely open, still conscious but unable to communicate. They stabbed him with IV's and hooked up bags of liquid to the long pole on the gurney. Yachiro was bawling loudly as they put needles into him, the woman holding her doing her best to keep her quiet and calm.

The police arrived soon after Ichigo was tended to. They wanted to speak to those involved, starting with the driver of the vehicle. Grimmjow wasn't letting that man paint Ichigo as irresponsible, he wanted the real events to be the first heard.

"Excuse me, the little girl ran out onto the road to fetch her bucket, and he didn't even attempt to slow down as he approached. Her big cousin was lucky enough to be fast enough to grab her before getting knocked down himself. If he'd been a second slower, you'd be scraping a three year old off his fucking bumper."

"And you are sir?"

"I'm Mr Kurosaki's boyfriend. We were just to the side of the park, watching the kid play."

"Thank you Mr?"

"Jeaggerjaques," Grimmjow supplied.

"Right, will you be going with Mr Kurosaki and Ms Zaraki to the hospital?" The other nodded an affirmative. "We will catch up with you there and get a full statement. Mr Hiarako, may I see your mobile phone, I need to trace when the last call, text message and email was sent."

Grimmjow snorted in disgust. If that rat bastard had been using his phone when driving through a park he should get banged up. Grimmjow looked over at Ichigo, watching the other get wheeled over to the waiting ambulance. Yachiro was being seen to by a female paramedic who had arrived in a Landrover to help at the scene.

Grimmjow climbed into the back of the ambulance only to find himself with a lapful of upset three year old.

"She really should go to the children's hospital but she is getting quite distressed."

"The docs can check her over at the emergency room and if she needs to be transferred we can arrange that. I think it is more important that she stays calm and we get the boy to the hospital."

Grimmjow wasn't pleased about the delay but soon enough, the chatter of the paramedics getting on his nerves but he remained silent. He finally felt the ambulance start to move off and he gave the helpful woman a wave out of the window before cuddling the upset little girl on his lap.

The next few hours were a blur to Grimmjow. 'Chiro was taken away from him at the hospital and he was placed on a chair in the waiting room. Eventually he was moved to a private waiting room for families as he was pacing and being overly aggressive.

The door opened after 40 minutes of pacing in the small room and Grimmjow was taken aback by the man who entered. Grimmjow knew he was considered tall, and he was well built so he hadn't felt physically intimidated in a long time. The man that walked in had to duck under the door frame, his shoulder tilted to make it through the width. One eye narrowed as he took in Grimmjow's panicked look.

"Well boy, you want to tell me what happened to my daughter and nephew? Apparently you are his boyfriend, yet I have no fucking clue who you are. Funny that Ichi didn't mention you."

Grimmjow swallowed tightly. "Ichigo grabbed the girl out of the way of a car, and got hit. He tried to protect her, but I don't know if she is alright. No one has come near me in ages." Grimmjow could actually feel himself getting a bit upset, the unknown way scarier than any possible outcome.

The large man came over and put a hand on his shoulder, pushing him into the seat behind him. "Hey kid, calm down. I'm Ichigo's uncle, Kenpachi Zaraki. They called me when 'Chiro was signed in. I'm glad you were with them." He squeezed the shoulder before removing his hand.

"Grimmjow Jaeggerjaque. I'm not really Ichigo's boyfriend. I just wanted them to take me with them and tell me stuff. We're just friends." Grimmjow felt an ache in his chest as he said the last statement.

The door opened, grabbing the two men's attention immediately. A young male nurse came in hesitantly. The two men towered over him. "Hello, I'm Hannatero; I've been taking care of Yachiro. I'm looking for her father; she wants someone with her."

Kenpachi looked back at the stricken blunette, leaving him in the room to follow the nurse.

"Wait," the blunette could let them go without asking. "Is there any news about Ichigo? I've not heard anything yet."

"Are you a relative?"

"Yes, he's his fiancé. We are both very worried about the boy." Kenpachi winked at Grimmjow who smiled in relief at getting an official entitlement to news.

"Well, Mr Kurosaki has gone into surgery to fix his compound fracture of his arm and to investigate damage to his hip. The x ray showed some sort of abnormality but nothing conclusive. He will be in recovery in a couple of hours."

"Thanks. Grimm, you want to come see 'Chiro?"

Grimmjow nodded his head, glad to be getting out of the small room.

The small pink haired girl had suffered no major injuries, a few bruises and a cut to her face from the glass but she was bouncing when her daddy came into sight. Kenpachi had to put a restraining hand on her shoulder to stop her jumping up to him.

"Daddy, where have you been? I've been here for so long, and I got a sucker that turned my tongue pink, look!" The little girl stuck her tongue out, and it was dyed bright pink. "Hey Blue, where's Ichi? I thought he'd be coming too. I've not see him yet."

The two men exchanged glances, not wanting to upset the girl. "Ichi's still with the doctor. He'd hurt his arm and his hips so they are still working to fix him. He would be here if he could. I bet he's so worried about you." Grimmjow had knelt down at the bedside to bring himself down to her level.

"Aw, why are you not there with him. You need to go kiss him better. And hold his hand. Just like you were doing at the park today!"

Grimmjow's eyes snapped wide and he slowly turned to the taller man, seeing his raised eyebrow.

Oh shit.
