One push is all you need.

I'm back. After all these years I'm home again.

After I graduated, my parents divorced. I lived with my mom in Tokyo while the bastard that I called father stayed here, in Karakura. I despised him. He broke mom's heart and left her for some cheap skank.

And still, my home was here, not in Tokyo. I inhaled; fresh air filled my lungs together with hopes. Hopes to see Ichigo. I wanted to apologize to him. To talk with him. To see his eyes, his smile, hell, even that scowl!

Sure, there's no guarantee that he still lives in this town. And there was no guarantee that he's still with Shirosaki. God, every time the thought crossed my mind, my heart skipped beat. Maybe, just maybe I do have a chance?

'Grimmjow?' I was walking to hotel where I stayed direction when I heard someone calling me. I turned my head and saw Kisuke Urahara, my homeroom teacher.

'Kisuke – jii! How are you?'

Urahara sighed. 'Seriously, will you drop that? Even now, I'm not that old.'

I chuckled.

'So how long have you been in Karakura?' the man asked me.

'I arrived four days ago. I'm not planning to stay much longer, though.' I answered.

'What bought you here?' my former homeroom teacher asked again. 'Last time I saw you, I was young and handsome. Now I'm only handsome.'

I laughed. 'Didn't you just say that you're not old?' I liked him. He was my favorite teacher after all.

'I just wanted to visit my hometown, to see old friends.'

'By old friends, do you mean Kurosaki – san, by any chance?' I shivered. His serious tone always gave me creeps.

'Y-Yes, what about that?'

'Would you like to drink some tea? My house is nearby. There we could chit – chat for a bit.'

I nodded. Something's wrong. I was afraid to know what he wanted to tell me, but it involved Ichi, so it was important and I had to leave my fear behind.

It was small house but the moment I stepped in I felt warm, cozy atmosphere. We sat in the living – room. Urahara's wife, dark skinned exotic chick with purple hair and golden eyes (how in the freezing hell did this old man marry that?) served us tea.

'So what's so important, that you couldn't say it to me back there?' I asked, hesitating a bit.

'About Kurosaki – san… as I recall, you were really close friends, right?'

'Yeah', I responded and lowered my eyes to the floor. 'But we… umm… Started to argue in the last grade, so we ended our friendship.' My heart tightened. I was such a jerk.

'I see… And you didn't contact him ever since, right?'

'Yeah.'

'You know, he lives in Tokyo, too.'

'Wha-'

'After he graduated he went to university in Tokyo and he visited Karakura at least once in a month, until…' he trailed off.

'Until what, Kisuke – jii?' curiosity spiced with fear ate me from inside.

Urahara closed his eyes for a moment and inhaled slowly.

'Until his family died three years ago.'

My heart sank somewhere in my guts.

'Family..? Does it mean…'

'His both sisters and father.' Urahara's voice was so quiet, but still, it couldn't be unheard.

'How?'

'In a fire. There was short circuit in the electrical system; they all were sleeping and no one felt nothing until it was too late.' The teacher was looking through window, I saw his eyes water, even though, they were hidden by the shadow of his hat.

'Kisuke – jii?'

'Yes?'

'Do you know Ichigo's address?'

'Yes, I don't know if he still lives there, but I guess it's better than nothing.'

He stood in front of the house. Actually, in front of remains of it. Burnt constructions, ashes, carbons. Nothing alike the house where he had met the weirdest and probably the most loving father ever. Isshin Kurosaki. Where he had met youngest mother (not literally) he had ever seen. Yuzu Kurosaki. And the girl that he wished to be his younger sister. Karin Kurosaki. Geez, they were his family too. To know they were no longer apart teared him inside. It was painful even to think what Ichigo had gone through with this loss. 'Cause his family was epicenter of his world.

No, it was his world itself…

Grimmjow didn't want to think about anything anymore. He headed to the hotel to pack his things and order a ticket back to Tokyo.
