Gomen for not updating in forever... For some reason I've had absolutely no inspiration for this story.. The lack of reviews don't help either! Well instead of blaming others for my shortcomings I'm just gonna get on with the usual!

Disclaimer: Don't own Bleach, wish I did.

References to chapters in the beginning!

Ichigo walked hand in hand with Ishida, looking back on the past week. It had been a quiet sort of week, with the exception that they received a "Transfer Student" who was actually yet another rogue Espada. They were dropping from Aizen in amazing rates. The only thing Soul Society could hope for is that more disbanded from the evil brunette and that he wouldn't be able to build up his forces fast enough.

The only thing that marred this almost perfect week was the fact that the Espada, Ulquiorra Schiffer, was now Grimmjow's new boyfriend. Ichigo had to admit it; he was jealous. But every time he tried to voice his opinions to himself he just found denial. No he was perfectly happy with Ishida; At least that's what he was telling himself.

Ichigo felt Ishida's hand pull out of his and noticed that they were at the raven haired teen's apartment. Ichigo leaned down to kiss him but was stopped by the Quincy pushing against his chest. "Ichigo... Come in.. we have to talk." Ichigo looked down at him in confusion. What did he do? Had he been caught when he was staring at the teal haired Espada kissing the raven haired one?

Ichigo sat down on the couch and looked at his partner, who sat across from him in the love seat.

"Ichigo... We can't go out anymore." Ichigo's eyes widened at the bluntness of the statement. What did the Quincy mean by it?

"I know you're jealous that Grimmjow has moved on... And I don't want to tie you down. I mean he can break up with his new boy-toy anytime.. I don't want to be in the way. Besides, I know you never really stopped loving him. Even if you showed enthusiasm in everything we did, I know you've craved a different set of arms... A different pair of lips,"

Uryuu looked up at the stunned Shinigami. How could that blockhead not even realize his own feelings? Ichigo really could be dense.

"Uryuu..." Ichigo was speechless. He couldn't come up with a response; it was all true. Every single thing that came out of Uryuu's mouth was true. He had craved Grimmjow's strong arms. His supple lips.

"...."

Both boys stared at each other. Ichigo got out of his stupor when he saw a tear making it's way down the pale skin of his friend's cheek. Then everything happened really fast.

Ichigo moved over to the love seat and took Uryuu in his arms. "Gomen... Gomen.. I didn't want it to turn out this way... Please forgive me..."

He stroked the raven colored hair soothingly, knowing that no words of regret could suffice for the damage he had done. He had led Uryuu on and gotten together with him on a rebound from Grimmjow. He had taken advantage of Uryuu's feelings and in the end he still loved that idiot Espada!

What was wrong with him? He was truly the worst.

He felt Uryuu lift his head and then his hand was moved off of the smaller man's back.

"Go to him. If you don't do it now, I won't forgive you, Kurosaki!" He pushed off Ichigo and Ichigo was immediately running. He paused at the doorway and looked back inside. "I won't forget this, Ishida." With a coy wink Ichigo was gone, leaving the heartbroken Quincy to his musings.

Grimmjow laid on his temporary bed in the Shinigami Women's Association Headquarters. After he had been chewed out by the fourth squad captain, she had deemed it necessary to move him so that he had no more further 'temptation'. He had scoffed at the time, but it had proved dead useful when he had gotten together with Ulquiorra.

Yes he had gotten together with the black haired man to make Ichigo jealous. Not that the smaller man wasn't all that he wished Ichigo could be. He was soft spoken,calm and sensitive to his emotions. Yes.. this was so much better than hot headed, passionate, idiot, callous Ichigo. At least that was what he was telling himself.

Not that he wasn't happy with his results. Ichigo had been staring at him every time that he had been with Ulquiorra. It made him somewhat happy to know that Ichigo hadn't been left without some emotional damage on his part. Ch, it was that idiot's fault anyways... It's not like Grimmjow had broken up with him..

Grimmjow looked up in surprise as his door was opened and immediately fell to the floor. On his bed was the Eleventh Squad Vice Captain.

"Kusajishi-fukutaichou!" Yachiru looked down at the Espada with a bemused expression. And then the tantrum began.

"No! Grimm-chan! I've told you! Call me Ya-chan!!!!" She was in chibi mode, waving her hands up and down; this had happened every single time that she had come into his room. He called her by her last name and she had a fit.

"Gomen.. I forgot. What's up Ya-chan?" Yachiru smiled when her nickname was used, and then she jumped onto a nearby chair, perching on the edge of it.

"Someone is downstairs for you.."She had an evil grin on her face and according to the other Shinigami, that wasn't a good sign.

"Who is it?" She shook her head and merely giggled again. Grimmjow sighed and got up off the floor.

"Yo," He looked down the stairs and saw a familiar head of orange hair. Ichigo had come.

Ichigo sat at the foot of the stairs. He knew that if he wanted to talk to Grimmjow he would have to corner him; that man, according to others, was a mastermind when it came to escaping.

"H-hi... What's up Berry?" Ichigo smiled despite himself. Even though he despised the nickname it was the first thing Grimm had called him...

"I wanted to talk," Could he have been more obvious? He had thought that showing up at your ex-boyfriend's house unannounced while they both were in relationships (granted his had ended before he had begun speaking) had been blunt enough to seep into the Espada's 'superior' brain!

Grimmjow scowled. He knew that one of these days Ichigo would come to talk to him. It was inevitable.

"Well.. I broke up with Ishida.." More like he had broken up with him, but Grimmjow didn't need to know that.

"And?" What did he mean 'And?'! It almost made it sound as though he was no longer important!

"I'm jealous of Ulquiorra." It went against the grain to admit his jealousy, and it seemed as though Grimmjow reveled in seeing him struggle.

"So?" Ichigo was beginning to get mad. How much more obvious could he make it?! He wanted to get back with him!

Grimmjow was pretending to act cool. Inside he was really jumping for joy. Ichigo wanted him back! But he wasn't going to take him back that easily. He wanted to see the boy beg for him. After all his ego had been deflated and who better but Ichigo to reinflate it?

"Never mind. You're either playing cool or are just an idiot. Either way I'm not going to look like an idiot begging for you to come back to me. I have pride you know,"

Ichigo began to walk away but Grimmjow caught his arm.

"What Grimmjow?"

"I want to hear you say sorry."

Ichigo's eyes widened and then narrowed.

"For what?!"

"For breaking my heart! I have feelings too!"

He searched Ichigo's face for any sign of remorse. He didn't find any.

"I broke you're heart!? Are you kidding me? Are you seriously that stupid?!"

Ichigo ripped his arm out of the taller man's grip and proceeded to the door.

"I'm not stupid. And yes you did. You played with my feelings!"

Ichigo stared at him hotly. He knew it was time to back down and he didn't care. He wanted Ichigo to realize the harm he had done. He wanted Ichigo to suffer as he had.

"I played with your feelings?" Ichigo's tone was livid. He still didn't back down.

Ichigo turned around on his heel and walked towards the idiot Espada.

"I played. With. Your feelings?" Ichigo closed his eyes. He needed to stay calm, it wouldn't do him any good to start yelling.

"Have you ever stopped to think about the events that led to this? Because I have. Millions upon millions of times. And you know what I realized every single time? This all happened after that first night you came here; think back. Do you see anything that you did that was wrong?"

Grimmjow didn't respond. Ichigo knew that he had long since realized the wrong that he had done.

"The day after we got together you decided to broadcast what we did the night before! If you hadn't done that I wouldn't have gone to Hueco Mundo!"

"I admit I was stupid. I shouldn't have let my anger rule me. But the next thing that happened is entirely your fault."

Ichigo clenched his fists. "I have nightmares. Every. Single. Night. I talked to Unohana and I know that you were given orders. But no! Why let Ichigo recover from something he didn't remember? No! As long as Grimmjow is satisfied! And all for what? The next day you lied to me. I know that little mating mark disappeared. And I'm glad it did. Because now I realize what an idiot I've been. I'm way better off without you!"

Ichigo turned to leave when he heard Grimmjow's voice.

"I didn't... Not.. No... But... I really... Gah! You're so frustrating!" Grimmjow looked at him, fury and sadness mingling his eyes.

Grimmjow was speechless. He was mad, but he didn't want to yell. Ichigo was right, he had been the cause of it all. If only he hadn't made Ichigo mad. If only he hadn't let his ego rule him so entirely. All the 'if onlies' in the universe couldn't fix that he had already done them all.

"I'm frustrating?! Frustrating isn't even a strong enough word to describe you! You make me so mad! You know I'm glad that we're through, at least now you have someone who submits to you entirely. I thought that I would come back to you and you'd apologize for everything. I guess I must have been dreaming. I had thought you were different, well I guess not!"

Ichigo walked away from Grimmjow. This time he didn't stop him. Ichigo was right. He was always right.

Ichigo opened the door and then without looking back uttered the words that he was sure he would never regret. "Sayonara,zettai no itsumademo." He slammed the door leaving a withered and broken Grimmjow on his knees.

Agh! I am so dissapointed in myself.. this chapter is pathetically short! I felt like I was going to produce this amazing fight scene and it turned out into this... Not one of my better chapters and if I must say so myself it S***ed!

Notes: Sayonara. Zettai no itsumademo. This is my crude translation on what is supposed to be 'Goodbye,definitely forever." I hope it's right!

Don't blame you if you don't wanna review.. I appreciate them all the same...
