Kasumi

I almost screamed when I saw Grimmjow beside me with his bare chest in my face. Having spaced out that we overexerted ourselves sparring that we both crumbled to the floor and passed out. My muscles ached horribly being on the floor, I could feel every movement scream in agony and looked at the welts on my arms knowing they will bruise.
"I haven't sparred like this in forever…" feeling pretty good even with the soreness, it was uplifting. And it was a bonus that I managed to sleep! "I'm starving…" my stomach growled angrily; I slowly pushed myself up to stand when I yelped to being grabbed onto and pulled into a tight hug!
Seriously…?! Seeing how he grabbed me and looked like I was made into some kind of body pillow, I sighed and was stumped on what to do. Tapping on my knee and pondering this situation, I stared at his face and really 'looked' at him. His hair was disheveled, face was scrunched as he slept, but his robust features was attractive. I wanted to draw him out, to really get the image down on paper, but that would be super strange! I felt my face burn thinking about it and faced a different direction, but as his arm tensed to pull me closer I couldn't help but let out a small yelp to how easily he moved me. "Just how strong are you?" I weigh a ton and not even the boys could move me if they tried it!
His grip loosened, I tried prying his arm off slowly so I could get up and found myself hardly able to really move him. Like a lead weight his arm was not going anywhere. Giving up for the time being and not paying attention, when I thought I was scotch free I felt him shift and my body moved with him as he pulled me underneath his torso!

"Mmm…" groaning as he moved, his arm tensing and pulling me under, I was far too freaked out by this sudden intimacy and couldn't make a sound. He was not awake, his eyes barely open with full grogginess and he yawned deeply while nudging his face closer to my chest. "Mmm…princess…" whispering in his sleep and not knowing why it was a pet name, he hugged me tighter and came towards my face before grinning and nibbled my collarbone!

"G-Grimmjow!" Gasping to the action and hard to get out of his death-vice, the next thing I felt put me into a stupor when he began kissing and sucking on my nape! "NOPE, Wake up! W-Wake up!" Frazzled at this point and squirming, he groaned to the sudden thrashing and started to open his eyes a bit more. "Grimmjow!" Yelling, his eyes snapped open and his face changed to a sudden realization of his actions.

"Shit…sorry," unwrapping himself from me and scooting away from him quickly, I touched the place he kissed and felt my neck burning from the touch. "…you could've punched me…" abashed as he got up, he popped his neck and glanced down at me.

"It was rather difficult to do that…" eyes averting his open torso, he gave an aloft sigh before he leaned in and looked at my neck.

"Damn…looks like a marked ya."

"O/O" My face lit up and I scrambled over to the mirror to see the red mark forming into a hickey. "This is going to be hard to hide…" mumbling to myself, my first thought went to Kyoya, but then I recalled I broke it all off. There was no need to worry about him any longer, but I didn't want to seem like some loose woman either. This is going to be a hard coverup operation, especially with the ball being so close now.

"If you're worried about what Kim might say I'll speak with her and say it's my fault. I mean it is, but it won't seem as bad if I confront her bout it."

"That—" stopping myself, I faced him and shook my head. "No, that won't be necessary. I can hide it for the time being."
Hopefully.

His expression changed again to being a little dark and he rubbed his neck. "…won't that boyfriend of yours be askin' you questions?"
Freezing up a little and averting my gaze from his, there was nothing really for me to feel guilty about, but the fact that it's really over between us was still fresh. I can't be thinking of such lude thoughts when around this man. He's clearly messing with me half the time and doesn't mean what he says at all! I'm just…

"….no," I turned away and felt naked before Grimmjow. He doesn't do much of anything to get me to talk, but somehow I feel exposed to him with everything. These two weeks have been so awkwardly strange that somehow I'm more comfortable with a stranger than with people I've known and go to school with. I'm a mess.

"What, you two got into a fight?" He prodded.

"…I broke it off entirely. His father took things too far with the papers and all the announcements of a marriage that never was fully accepted that I just lost it. I broke off with him, the company, his scheming father...I'm just me right now. Hence why I wanted to come down here and blow off some steam."

"Did you now? I don't know your life, but it seems you really had it rough with him if you're willing to go that far." Scratching his head and moving around, I picked up the equipment we thrashed around and put them away when he came close enough to feel the heat radiating off his chest. "You're a woman with many aspects, and though I don't know you well enough, even I can see that much." he said this without any underline meaning and it made me happy. A genuine compliment was given and I felt no remorse or anger from him saying it. "Let's hit the showers and grab something to eat. I'm starving here."

"Right," laughing at his expression and leading the way to the guest bath, it took a moment for me to head to mine when I touched the hickey on my neck. I could still feel his lips on my neck and the crazy sensation it brought. This feeling of infatuation should bury itself deep inside my soul. Having gone through enough heartache to last me a lifetime, I shut my eyes and kept the emotion buried. I am not going to be a woman that bounces from men to men no matter how they stir me up!

After getting dressed and eating breakfast Kim had left for us thanks to the note I found, a thought came to me that made no logical sense to do and I looked to him and spoke bluntly.
"I can take you to Karakura Town myself after I graduate." He stopped eating to look at me. "After the last two weeks I figure helping you get home is the least I can do for you. You merely have to wait after the graduation ball is over with and me getting my diploma with Kim to take you back home."

"You'd do that?" Unable to hide a smile, his eyes lit up and the way he moved across the table to see if I was lying to him made my heart jump. "You'll really take me to Karakura town?"

"Y-yes," getting flustered having him so close, he grinned and went back to his meal. "When we get our diplomas, we'll be free birds to do as we like. Just give me time to get work settled while I'm away and I'll prepare the trip. I was going to have it arranged for you to take a bus or something but you seem so unfamiliar with anything that I was worried you'd get lost somehow."

"Having a way home is good enough. Don't know about this bus you speak of, but having you take me is a big help." He thanked me gratefully.
We ate our meals and I gathered my things to head to the Academy to do a few errands for the ball. With little stuff to do before it though I kind of laughed to myself thinking it was going to be a rather interesting topic to bring up with Kim about a road trip we'll be taking. I mean I already had plans to do something of the like, just not of taking Grimmjow back to his town and getting more involved.

~OoOoO~

It was chaotic going to school and having Kyoya there for the entire day trying to speak with me. But each time he tried I managed to avoid the topic or go and do something else that needed my attention. Kim was nowhere to be seen strangely enough and I had a hard time reaching her on her cell. Though she's more than capable enough to handle herself, she still worries me from time to time. To think the hardest part of the day was really just staying out of Kyoya's sight and dislodging myself from him without worrying the others. Haruhi is too smart and clever to really hide anything from her, so telling her in small detail that Kyoya and I were no longer a thing was a shock to her. Though I thought my news was big, she told me she found out Kim and Kaoru had a falling out thanks to Hikaru telling Haruhi of it. SO now that this was out in the open I figured Kim was cooling off and not wanting anything to do with the twins right now until she could compose herself.
I finished the majority of the construction idea that was needing attention. Once the paperwork fell through and the setting was done, the outfits Tamaki had planned for us all was the only thing left but he had everything under control while Kim also had her own idea for my dress as well as hers. Knowing nothing more to do at school and noticing the time was already 5pm, it was high time to head home and plan out the road trip Kim and I will be taking with Grimmjow. In retrospect it has been thanks to him that I've been able to be a little more open to myself and what's around me. Hopefully taking him home is enough of a thanks to him for all he's done without him realizing he's done anything for me.
