CRASH...CRASH…CRASH

"Would you stop that!"

Orihime sat up wiping the sleep from her eyes. When she heard Tatski yelling at Grimmjow she sighed, loudly. For the fifth time in the past 6 hours Tatski had to get up and yell at Grimmjow to keep it down. Grimmjow for some reason kept getting loud, turning the T.V. up, or for some reason move her furniture.

"Damn it, let go of my Hair!", Grimmjow yelled at Tatski.

Orihime scratching her neck got up and went to see what was going on this time. When she took in the site she had to try very hard not to scream. They had broken her only table, trashed her T.V., and someone, Grimmjow most likely, had scratched her couch to ribbons.

Shaking her head Orihime walked back into her room and went back to sleep. The sound of Grimmjow and Tatski's fighting taking the place of a lullaby.

/\/\/\/\

Orihime giggled when Grimmjow came out of the schools bathroom in his uniform. She had thought he would look funny and she was right. Orihime turned to ask Tatski something, but stopped when she noticed that she was, pretty much, gawking at him with her lips parted slightly. As they started to walk to class, 4th period, she laughed inwardly at what had made them so late.

\/\/\/\/

"What", Grimmjow yelled, "why do I have to go to school?"

"Because," Orihime explained, "you look like a 17-18 year old and that is the age of people that go to school."

Tatski just nodded in agreement.

"But why?, People, well most people, can't even see me!"

Orihime remembering that she hadn't even told him where they were going said, "Oh about that, we are going to see a good friend of mine to see if he can fix that."

"And who pray tell would this friend be?", Grimmjow said narrowing his eyes.

"His name is Urahara Kisuke, but you probably don't know him", Orihime said feeling a little embarrassed.

"You would be right", Grimmjow said stretching, "by the way, why has she been so quiet?"

Orihime turned to the quiet Tatski to ask but Tatski beat her to it.

"I am being quiet because I don't think she should have to put up with you again!"

"Yo, not cool. It was Nnoitra and Ulquiorra that messed with her.", he said throwing a thumb towards Orihime.

"Oh really, how so?", Tatski challenged.

"Well, I'm pretty sure Nnoitra had a thing for her and Ulquiorra was her," Grimmjow said with air quotes, "psychiatrist. He was the one that played with her mind."

"That's not true!", Orihime exclaimed, earning two WHAT-THE-HELL looks.

"Ok…", Grimmjow said shrugging, "maybe it was the other way around. Maybe it was Ulquiorra that got, once again using air quotes, "physical"

Orihime blushing yelled "SHUT UP!"

They spent the rest of the walk to Urahara's in an awkward silence. When the finally saw it Orihime made a beeline for it.

Urahara opened the door, yawning, at the second knock. After he greeted Orihime and Tatski his eyes drifted to the blue-haired former espada. It took a few moments to recognize who he was looking at, but when he remembered he fell down with eyes wide as plates.

It took a few minutes to explain to him that Grimmjow was real, and even longer to explain that he wasn't evil.

"So let me get this straight, you need a gigai for this….Espada?", Urahara said with a little smile.

"Umm yeah", Orihime said nervously, "so he can go to school…..can you help?"

It was a few minutes before he spoke again, "You are lucky that I made a gigai for all the espada in case of such an event."

"Did you give one to Ulquiorra?", Orihime asked unashamed of the pleading in her voice.

His answer made her want to cry, "Ulquiorra? Who's that?"

Orihime turned away, "Never mind"

"Well then," Tatski said breaking a new awkward silence, "since he has his gigai-thing we should get to school."

And that leads to where they are now, with the teacher talking to the class about another student.

"Now remember kids", Mrs. Nakamura scolded, "his name is what some might call odd. So please be nice to him, you may come in now Jaegerjaques-san."

Orihime sighed as, once again, all the girls whispered madly about Grimmjow. The teacher seemed annoyed by it while Grimmjow was happy beyond belief.

After Grimmjow took his seat and the class began again she tuned to look at her always unhappy neighbor Ulquiorra. She stared at him until he glanced back at her making her blush. 'How does he always know when I stare at him...wait, why do I keep staring at him in the first place?'

The rest of the day went by uneventful, until she saw Ulquiorra in a staring contest with Grimmjow. Felling the tension rolling off of Grimmjow students started to form a circle around them preparing for a fight. She started over to stop the potential fight before the first punch was thrown….she was never very lucky.
