"Well, lookie lookie who decided to show up..."you chided Grimmjow in sociology. He had missed French class earlier and you had already planned on giving him a hard time. He lowered his head, trying to hide a smile.
"Get off my back Saya, you're not my mom."
"You left me and Ichi alone to deal with the dead cat yesterday! We almost cried. I hope you feel good about yourself," you crossed your arms.
"Guilt tripping me ain't gonna work."
"Fine then, don't talk to me anymore," you turned your head away.
"Tch..." he turned away as well, acting like it didn't bother him. "...Alright I'm sorry Saya," he grumbled. You didn't answer, you thought you'd make him suffer a bit longer. He sighed.
"I just didn't feel like going to anatomy ok-"
"-or French-"
"Ya, and French," he rolled his eyes.
"I don't want to come to school either Grimmjow, and you don't see me ditching," you scolded.
"Well excuse me for not being Miss goodie-two-shoes," he mocked.
"Hey!" you defended, "I want to get somewhere in life. I'm not gonna start screwing up my future by slacking in highschool."
"Tch."
"Don't your parents yell at you for skipping?"
"My parents are dead Saya, I live by myself." That one caught you off guard.
"Oh...sorry, I didn't mean-"
"Don't worry about it. I don't even remember them, so it doesn't bother me," he said as he leaned back in his desk. You studied him, wondering how hard that must have been. You couldn't imagine not having your Mom around.
"How can you afford to live by yourself?" You tired altering the conversation. He shifted uncomfortably in his chair.
"Eh..the were pretty rich and left me a good chunk of cash."
"Really?" you were kinda doubting he could survive on left overs of a will. He heard the doubt in your voice and looked at you with his signature smirk, raising his chin up.
"You could say I'm a millionaire."
"PSSSH!"
"Have you seen my car?"
"...ya."
"I've got that, a ferrari, and a corvette. My house is the one past that weird little shop."
"The shop Kisuke owns?" your eyes widened, "You mean that MANSION?!"
"Yes Ma'am" he nodded, grinning.
"Bull shit." He simply laughed, still nodding. "...wow..." You felt significantly MORE inferior to him. You had already guessed he was wealthier than you, I mean who wasn't? But this...He's rich enough where I should be cleaning the toilet of the guy who cleans HIS toilet.
"Well, goes to show you how much your parents loved you.-But you still need to show up for class!" You wanted off the subject of your financial differences. He rolled his eyes again.
"C'mon, Anatomy's not that bad..."
"Yes it is.." he muttered.
*Lightbulb*
"Oh I see! Your a cat-lover aren't you?"
"NO!" he said defensively, raising his chin.
"AWWW! That's so sweet Grimmjow," you patted his head, making him blink with every tap. "I didn't know you were the type."
"It just ain't right..." he shook his head in disgust, "cats are people too ya kno..."
"Do you have a cat?"
"Actually I have a dog, but I am more of a cat person I guess."
"That doesn't make sense."
"It's a long story-"
"OKAY CLASS!" Kaien finally showed up, "Open your books to Chpt.14, Teen Adolescence!" The class groaned, and you saw Nnoritora, glaring in your direction.
…...
At lunch, you pulled out a ton of cookies from your lunch box.
"My Mom was an angel and bought my some baking ingredients yesterday, so I made everyone cookies!" Everybody grabbed some, Ichigo and Ikkaku fought over the last cookie.
"You bake a lot ya know.." Grimmjow observed.
"Thank you Captain Obvious." He shoved you and you bumped into Ichigo on your left, who was in the middle of taking a bite of the last cookie he had won.
"Watch it Saya!" he shoved you back and you then bumped into Grimmjow. He shouldered you back into Ichigo.
"Cut it out Saya."
"But you were the one-"
"Stop bumping into me Saya!" Ichigo shouldered you back.
"WHY IS EVERYONE YELLING AT ME?! ALL I EVER DID WAS CARE!" You slammed your arms on the table and cried into them. Grimmjow patted your back.
"Hate to break it to you, but no one really cares." You smacked him upside the head.
"Oh shut up Grimmjow, you're just jealous that everyone loves me-OH SHOOT! I have a rough draft I need to start on!"
Grimmjow's P.O.V.
Saya did her homework while eating her lunch. It amazed you how she VOLUNTARILY stayed ahead in her classes. (The rough draft wasn't due till next week.)
"See you in Anatomy?" she raised an eyebrow after she had finished.
"I'll be there." She smiled brightly, then left to put her lunch away. She always left the cafeteria early to go to her locker. You watched her exit the lunchroom. Suspicion rose inside of you as you saw Nnoritora leave the cafeteria seconds after her.
…...
Saya's P.O.V.
You grabbed your Anatomy textbook and slammed the locker closed, checking it to make sure it was locked. You didn't have anything valuable in there, but you were just paranoid about that kind of stuff.
"This area is off limits during lunch, Saya." Oh puke, you thought as Nnoritora approached you.
"Ya I know ,that's why I'm leaving." He stepped in front of you, blocking your way.
"Now hang on pet. I'm not done with you," he stroked your cheek and you jerked your head away.
"Just leave me alone Nnoritora!"
"Whose gonna make me, huh?" he took a step closer. "Everyone's at lunch Saya. No one can hear us."
Your uneasiness grew at the truth in his words. The hallway was empty, all the classrooms empty. The entire 2nd floor was at lunch, leaving the only two people in this wing to be-.
"It's just you and me," he finished your train of thought and grabbed for your wrist, but you smacked him away.
"PISS OFF ASSHOLE." A twisted grin appeared on his face and he grabbed you by the throat and rammed you into the wall of lockers. Your back stung, one of the locker handles cutting into your spine and you winced.
His eyes burned with sick desire and he licked your cheek. EW! DOES HE HAVE A TATOO ON HIS TONGUE? SICK!With the hand that wasn't choking you, he took your hand and tried to shove it down his pants.
You snapped out of your paralyzed state of shock and fear, the adrenaline kicking in, and before he could bring your hand down you ripped your arm away from his grasp, brought your knee up and kicked him in the gut. He fell to his knees in pain.
"Fucking bitch," he spat and lunged at you again.
"SAYA!" a voice yelled down the hallway. You punched Nnoritora in the jaw, knocking him out onto the floor.
"What the hell did he do?" Grimmjow demanded. "God dam son-of-a-bitch," he snarled as he went over to Nnoritora, then realized he was unconscious. "Holy shit ...he's out cold..." He looked at you and his blue eyes flashed with concern. "You alright Saya? You don't look so good."
"I...feel a bit nauseous..." You were a bit disappointed in yourself at how shaky your voice sounded.
"Let's get you to the nurse."
"No."
Grimmjow blinked.
"I want to take him to the office."
"What?!"
"You think I'm gonna just leave him here so he can wake up and do God knows what to some other poor girl?! Or boy?!"
"Oh...I hadn't thought about that..."
Grimmjow dragged Nnoritora tot he main office where you explained most of what happened. The Old Man had seen to it that Nnoritora was suspended.
"You sure you don't want to call your Mother?" Unohana asked, Grimmjow was sitting next to you in the nurse's office.
"I don't' want to bother her at work...I don't even want to tell her about this at all. You know how she would freak out."
"Saya, she's your Mother. Of course she's going to react strongly to this sort of situation."
"But nothing even really happened, so please don't bother her about it. She has enough stuff to worry about. Please?" Uno sighed and patted your hand.
"Alright, but if anything is bothering you, come tell me."
"Thanks Uno," you nodded. "Well we should get back to class, we're already late as it is."
"You don't have to go back to class if you don't feel like it Saya," Grimmjow said. You gave him a doubtful look.
"We are GOING Grimmjow. I am not going to be your excuse for missing ANOTHER class period."
"Tch..." he looked disappointed.
…...
Grimmjow's P.O.V.
The 2 of you were walking back to class. You noticed Saya was walking a little slower than usual.
"You sure you're ok?"
"I'm not gonna let what that pervert did stop me from going to class, got it?" You stared back at her fiery glance, then her eyes flickered away. "I do still feel pretty creeped out though..."
Rage burned inside of you. Nnoritora would pay big time for what he had done.
"Well I'm your bodyguard from now on Saya, so you don't gotta worry about guys coming on to you like that anymore."
"Are you saying I can't handle myself?" She stopped, her normal challenging gleam back in her eyes.
"Alright," you nodded, "you got me there. I'm actually pretty impressed you were able to knock him out."
"That was cake compared to fighting Kenny...would have done it sooner if I hadn't been so grossed out...Grimmjow?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't tell Ichigo about this ok? He would flip a lid if he found out." A question that you had dying to ask popped into your head.
"I won't...Waht's up with you 2 anyway?"
"What'd ya mean?" she blinked.
"Are you 2 dating or something?" She snorted with laughter,
"Ichigo?!NO!HAHAHAHA! Me and Ichigo are to much like family, He's just my best friend...hmhmhahAHAh!" she wiped away a tear of laughter, "That's so weird that you would say that..." she shook her head smiling.
