Woo two updates in two days. This chapter is dedicated to Grimmjow who is oh so close to double digits. Sorry but I do believe I will let the tattoos heal before we get any harem action. Now be warned this chapter I have decided to break Grimmjow's mould meaning he will have something more than lust. No Grimichi action this time either, sorry yet another mostly dry update.

Grimmjow: 9

Harem: 8

Renji: 4

Shuuhei: 3

…When I update the polls I feel like I am watching a race where the lead pack broke away then there are the troopers who are in the middle that have no real chance of getting further than that. On with the chapter!


Chapter 11

Switch

Slowly Grimmjow awoke on the side of the bed closest to the door. Taking down his wall blocking Renji from him he went out to sneak a peak at Ichigo. Grimmjow walked out of the bedroom to see Ichigo pacing deep in thought. "Umm Ichigo? Why are you up so early?"

Snapped out of his thought pattern Ichigo blushed. His thoughts went from how to approach his kin to trying to figure out how Grimmjow would repay him. Lets just say Ichigo has…interesting…fantasies. "Good, your awake. I can't really shower because I still hurt in places. Now I notice you slept in your clothes from yesterday. Would you like to change before we leave?"

"No I'm fine, but I thought Renji and Shuuhei got to pick where they went?"

"I saved the best for last, you don't get a choice. Now lets get going. I want this over with as soon as I can. I left a note in case we aren't home today."

"Why wouldn't be home today? Where are you taking me? It isn't some motel is it?" Grimmjow smirks.

"Enough questions." Ichigo said blushing a tiny bit from Grimmjow's last question.

Ichigo led Grimmjow through the town to an abandoned warehouse. Where he gently knocked on thing air. A barrier shimmered at Ichigo's touch. Grimmjow noticed Ichigo letting his spirit energy spike. A few minutes a very sleepy looking teen wandered out of the warehouse.

"Ichigo what do you want?"

"Shinji I have a favour to ask of you." Ichigo said walking through the hole in the barrier that appeared. Grimmjow quickly followed.

"What is this favour Ichigo?" Shinji asked.

Ichigo took him out of Grimmjow's hearing range and mumbled something in Shinji's ear.

"Are you nuts? Do you have any idea how much energy would be needed? I'm not even sure if it's possible." Shinji yelled at Ichigo.

"Shinji please, it breaks my heart doing nothing about it. He will be forever on a leash if it doesn't get switched." Ichigo said, sadness laced on the last sentence.

"But if the hollow is dominant when it is switched it most likely means his personality will be switched too. Take you and Shirosaki for instance, if he was in control you most likely would be locked in a box in the back of his mind. Grimmjow most likely won't be Grimmjow if we succeed."

It finally hit him what Ichigo was begging Shinji to do. "Ichigo what the hell! Did I tell you I wanted to change? Maybe I like being evil and an outcast." Grimmjow yelled at the boy.

Ichigo rounded on Grimmjow went up and kissed him passionately. "Well, what did your heart feel like? What did I taste like? What emotions are you capable of?"

Grimmjow understood why Ichigo was doing this. His mouth was hanging open. Ichigo wanted Grimmjow to feel their sex, taste him, enjoy it as much as everyone else.

"Shinji wake the others, I want this done as soon as possible."

"But we have school."

"We are skipping it, I can't wait one day longer."

Shinji ran inside to wake the others as Ichigo led a still shocked Grimmjow in to the vizard haven.

"Grimmjow these are the other vizard. Hiyori, Hachi, Lisa, Love, Rose, Kensei, Mashiro. They will be helping you hopefully."

Everyone gathers around Grimmjow down in the basement. "Hachi put a barrier between us and Grimmjow, we don't know what will happen." Shinji ordered. "Alright now everyone standby while I explore Grimmjow's inner place and find his shinigami." Shinji somehow entered Grimmjow's mind, and Grimmjow started thrashing.

"Grimmjow let him search!" Ichigo pleaded, hoping Grimmjow could hear.

Grimmjow collapsed right before Shinji came out sweating bullets. "Ok I managed to find the shinigami part and tear the hollow from consciousness. Now I need everyone else to put a hand on Grimmjow, search for the shinigami part and bring it to the surface. Hachi's barrier dropped letting everyone put a hand on the collapsed body. They managed to find and surface the shinigami Grimmjow but it wasn't what they were expecting.

"Took you long enough, now can you leave so I can give Ichigo my thanks. That means get the fuck out."

"The hell?" Shinji said confused.

"Wasn't there supposed to be another conscious instead of the old one? I'm not complaining I just don't understand how it works." Ichigo said scratching his head.

"Well when you were pulling him out he is a weak shit and pleaded to trade conscious places with me. So now I'm the shinigami half."

"I need to test this." Ichigo said as he pulled out his shinigami badge. He thrust it against Grimmjow who popped out of his gigai in a shinigami uniform. Ichigo proceeded to tackle the man and strip him to the waist to check for a hole. "Wow no hole. I guess you really are shinigami now."

Grimmjow smirked, "Are you sure you didn't just want to screw me?"

"In your dreams."

Grimmjow's new stomach growled at the man. "Right, since the holes gone I have an appetite. Ichigo FEED ME!"

Ichigo waved his goodbyes before going back to their house. It was a little after noon. Shuuhei and Renji wouldn't be there for a couple hours. "Grimmjow something occurred to me. If you couldn't eat before why can you cook?"

"I used to cook and dream about tasting food, I know it was stupid but it helped." Grimmjow said glaring at Ichigo so he would laugh at his expense.

"So the was it, well as long as you were happy I'm fine with it. Now what would you like for lunch?"

"Anything, I haven't had food before so make as much as you can. But be fast so I don't pass out."

Ichigo set to work cooking when Grimmjow got a great idea. "Ichigo can you come here for a second?"

"Yeah what is it?" Ichigo asked walking out of the kitchen with a pink frilly apron.

Grimmjow burst into laughter; he laughed so hard tears streamed down his face. When he regained his composure he ran up and embraced Ichigo kissing him fiercely but gently. His tongue pleading entrance to Ichigo's mouth, they played trying to gain dominance. Of course Grimmjow with his expert tongue won easily but Grimmjow savoured Ichigo's flavour. He had lied when he stole Ichigo's first kiss about the flavour just guessing because of Ichigo's name but my god it was true. It was like right before every kiss he ate strawberries but maybe it was because of his name. Grimmjow didn't know nor care as long as it was Ichigo he was fine. Grimmjow wrapped his arms around Ichigo and forced them closer. Ichigo's warmth was exhilarating! His heart was going to jump out of his body beating so fast. Was this the love Ichigo and the others talk about? No wonder everyone fights so dearly for Ichigo's attention. Not only did he feel love he felt anger for sharing Ichigo and fear of losing him again and just so many emotions. Grimmjow was lost in a whirlpool and loving it. Finally parting he gave Ichigo his first true smile, his first time being truly happy in all his life. Grimmjow felt tears starting to well up again. He was in a euphoria of emotions and he didn't care. His body started shaking with glee, happy tears made rivers in his warm skin. He was actually warm!

"Grimmjow what's wrong? You're shaking and crying. Is this not what you wanted?" Ichigo said concern filled his voice.

Grimmjow didn't speak right away, he held Ichigo in such a loving embrace Ichigo was having his breath taken away from him. When Grimmjow let go he laughed. "Ichigo this is the best present anyone has given me, ever! Not that I got any presents but I doubt any could be as great as this. These are tears of joy and my body is trembling from happiness."

'Wow I took my emotions for granted. It must feel similar to reuniting with someone you thought was dead and forgot about until they appear on your porch with smiles. I wonder how he going to take to food? Well I better get cooking if I want to find out.' "Grimmjow, I'm going back to the kitchen."

Grimmjow waited patiently on the couch Ichigo had slept in smelling it absorbing Ichigo's scent, which again was strawberries. Grimmjow really must ask Ichigo why he tastes/smells like strawberries.

"Grimmjow, food is done!" Ichigo yelled from the kitchen.

Grimmjow gaped at the sight. The kitchen table was filled with everything from the fridge cooked in different styles. The aroma's mixed creating an irresistible smell. "You made all of this?"

"Yeah, I didn't know what you would like so I made everything, and this isn't even the dessert. We may need to shop for food after you eat though. I emptied the fridge and most cupboards."

The table had things as plain to a PBJ sandwich to pizza to sushi. Pretty much everything Ichigo could think of.

Grimmjow bit into a pizza slice and his eyes popped. His taste buds were running rampant. Pretty soon the entire table was all dishes, even the desserts were gone. Grimmjow patted his stomach. Ichigo's mouth had been open since he inhaled the whole pizza and the entire tray of six different kinds of sushi. "You know if you stay like that much longer insects may start to make a home there."

Ichigo closed his mouth. "You do realize you ate enough to feed one person for about a week and a half. No wonder your hole was where your stomach was, I really don't see a difference now. You aren't still hungry are you?"

"No, but remember I haven't eaten in ages. I guess I was just refuelling my empty tank."

"Well we better go buy more food before the others get back, then we have to do the heap of dishes you left in your wake."

They went to the grocery store after doing the dishes. Well most of the dishes. They tricked Renji and Shuuhei into doing the rest of them when they got back. At the store they ran into a familiar face, I mean literally ran into them.

"God, Ichigo watch where you were going!"

"Tatsuki?"

"Yes Ichigo it's me. So tell me why weren't you at school? Orihime and Uryu were greatly disappointed and attacked Renji and Shuuhei for answers." Tatsuki normally then went into a whisper, "Is it true you're a man whore?"

"No! Why would you think that? I've been your friend for the longest time yet you asked that horrible question!"

"Well as the head of the fangirl third section I have to ask these questions. I have heard from the second and first section leaders that you have been seen intimate with two different men. I assume he is the third?"

"Yes I am and we share Ichigo, so back off girly." Grimmjow growled.

Ichigo slapped his hand on his forehead and sighs; calling Tatsuki 'girly' wasn't the smartest move ever.

"What did you say?" Tatsuki asked anger evident in her face and voice.

"Grimmjow drop it, we don't want to buy the store just food. Tatsuki calm down let's act reasonable."

"Fine Itchi, I am in too good of a mood to fight now anyways."

"Fine Ichigo, but I want a show like Uryu and Orihime. I'm the only section leader who hasn't had a free performance." Tatsuki whined.

"Maybe later, if you didn't notice by the bandages I've gotten tattoos, and I'm a little sore from them."

Tatsuki's eyes widened, "Ichigo what will your father think?"

'Oh shit forgot about him.'

"Renji, Shuuhei and I will protect him from Isshin."

"Tatsuki we really must be going. It was nice, chatting with you. Hurry up Grimmjow."

On the way home Ichigo became increasingly agitated. "Ichigo, what's wrong?"

"Did switching races hinder your senses that much? Tatsuki has been following us home. I'd rather not let them know where we live otherwise they may break in and take us hostage. I can't figure out who would be worse, Aizen or fangirls taping us." Ichigo shivered, neither ended with Ichigo or his lovers being happy.

"Well what should we do about her?"

"Well we could ditch out bodies and carry them on the roofs."

"No she has a higher spirit energy than normal humans, not much but enough to notice souls."

"Then let's go talk to her, and if we have to resort to a 'show' be gentle."

The two men hid in a nearby alley and waited for Tatsuki to wander past.

"Who are you hiding from?"

Both men jumped and turned around to face Rangiku. "God Matsumoto you scared us. Why are you in the human world anyway?" Ichigo asked.

"Well through two different grapevines I'm here for two reasons, one official shinigami business and the other personal business."

"What business?" Grimmjow asked intrigued by what shingami's do before/after battles.

"Well you for one, Ichigo for another, and You, Ichigo, Shuuhei, and Renji for the last one."

"Well, tell us why your business involves us."

"Well Grimmjow here happens to be like us now so he needs training as do you. I am ordered to take you both back to Soul Society for training, unfortunately that means you must die Ichigo. My last reason here is that the fangirl section leaders in this town have informed the Soul Society fangirl sections about you four lovers. We insist a free show of what the humans are getting from you."

"Not before I get my free show Damn it! I have waited long enough Ichigo!" Tatsuki screams at the alley mouth.

'Just bloody great, stuck between fangirls and I have to die. This is turning out to be a fabulous afternoon.' Ichigo thought bitterly.

"What have we here? Tatsuki, you didn't inform us you have them trapped." Uryu said with Orihime and other fangirls crowding the alley mouth.

"Rangiku!" A female shinigami shouts landing beside her. "We came as soon as the hell butterflies reached us. We obtained the other two as well."

Shuuhei and Renji were thrown into the middle with Grimmjow and Ichigo.

"How did you two get caught by low class shinigami?" Ichigo asked trying to find an escape route.

"Shuuhei here wouldn't hit a girl and held me back from saving us both." Renji muttered angrily.

"Well we all seem to be trapped and Ichigo doesn't look able to make them happy. What does anyone suggest we do?" Shuuhei asked.

"I'm in my human body so we can't just bolt our souls out of here."

"Are all of you stupid enough not to notice the door beside us?" Grimmjow asked.

The other three weren't expecting something that easy. They bolted through the door that was thankfully unlocked still carrying the groceries. Of course a shrieking rampage of girls –and Uryu-- followed them. They bolted for the house managing to lock the door and windows from the girls –and Uryu as always-- just before the group surrounded the house. The odd thing was that most of the humans could see the shinigami yet they gave them the space at the back. After an hour the crowd dwindled to two fangirls watching from each group. Ichigo settled in the couch and the other three made their walls again. The second night in a row with no sex or nakedness, poor starved men. Well they will make up for lost time tomorrow, when Ichigo finally takes off his bandages.


Chapter end!

Yes the long awaited tattoo revealing is next chapter. What will happen to poor Ichigo and his lovers? Only the Fangirls know… or do they? R&R and you may get something unexpected… at least from the fanfics I've read it's unexpected. Then again I have to have something to replace the tattoos as the prize for getting 10 votes.
