A/N: I'm sooo sorry that it's taken me so long to update! I had a really hard time thinking of a plot for this chapter. It's full of strange-ness, which is what I kinda feel lately. D; And thanks for the reviews~ Also note that this story is in 1st person instead of the usual 3rd person!
'No, no, no, no! This is impossible! Grimmjow can't be with Renji! He's with me!' I thought. This was beyond ridiculous! Grimmjow had always stayed at home before this point… right? Yuzu – she'll know!
I ran downstairs, while Grimmjow was still in the shower, to Yuzu patiently standing over a steaming pot. She smiled at me, "Ichi-nii, is something wrong? Dinner's not done yet, but make sure Grimm-chan is ready~."
"Yuzu, Grimm stays here everyday doesn't he? All day, even when I'm up in my room doing homework?" I hoped I didn't sound as restless as I thought I did.
She just looked at me funny, then turned her attention back to the pot. "Of course he stays here all day or he's with me or Karin. He waits up on the roof for you when you're at school, he comes with me to the park or the store, and he plays soccer with Karin so she'll 'shut up', as he says. I thought it was rather strange for him to leave when he did today, but he and Karin weren't getting along so well so maybe that's why."
I sighed mentally. So this was simply a random occasion then. Good, so he won't be going again tomorrow. "Ichi-nii, go get Grimmjow, dinner's done. We're just setting the table now~."
I quickly fled up back to my room to see Grimmjow just getting dressed. I could feel my face heating up when I saw him only in sporty shorts with no shirt. I couldn't stay there with him like that!
"G-Grimm, dinner's ready!" I babbled as I hauled back downstairs, nearly getting hit by my stupid old man. He really needed to stop doing that.

Dinner was quiet and somewhat tense. I couldn't help but think about how strange Grimmjow was compared to before: going to the park with Yuzu? playing soccer with Karin? waiting at home for me? Before, he probably would've died of laughter at such actions, but deep inside, I felt happy that Grimmjow wasn't a psycho killer. I mean, I really wish that we could have a fight once in a while, but letting him have his reiatsu back even once could mean that he'd disappear. I'm not for that.
I hoped that Grimmjow didn't see me staring at him the whole time either; he was just so attractive looking wearing only shorts and a white tank top. I could tell I had a blush on my face, but I hoped it really wasn't that visible.
Grimmjow seemed to be insanely hyper at night. Maybe it was a cat thing, but whenever I'd get ready for bed, he'd try time and time again to force me to stay awake doing the strangest things like run down the street or throw things at random houses.
However, this night, Grimmjow seemed to be… tired? I came into my room from brushing my teeth and he was curled up on my bed with the… cutest face I'd ever seen. It looked so calm and peaceful, which never happens when Grimm's awake. I couldn't help but want to take a picture and hide it away for myself, but unfortunately, I had no camera.
I crawled into bed next to him as swiftly as I could (I noticed that he'd not changed from dinner). I smiled as he only twitched, but was otherwise unfazed.
I was on the brink of sleep when Grimm just reached out and pulled me close to him (which made my whole body heat up). "I'll… I'll get you, Hitsu…gaya…. *snore*"
Hitsugaya? As in Toushiro Hitsugaya? Fuck no. I hate Grimmjow; not only did he have Renji in his pants, he had Toushiro, too?! Screw him! Screw them all! I don't need this!
I jumped out of bed and slept in the closet where Rukia used to stay (it was very, very cramped). I didn't want to be next to him at all.
I guess it's safe to say I didn't get that much sleep last night; the though of Grimmjow being with anyone other than me made me feel sick to my stomach. I didn't even both saying 'bye' to him as I left for school.

Grimmjow's POV
Something's definitely wrong here: Ichigo left this morning without telling me. He always told me when he left for school. I didn't do anything wrong! The jerk should've at least told me when he left!
I scolded myself for actually pouting over such a subject, but seriously! Come to think of it, Ichi had been acting a bit weird yesterday at dinner: he kept staring at me, then to random places, then back again. Not to mention he had that damn blush on his face the whole time! I could hardly stay still!
He should consider others; what if something happened to him and I didn't get to see him again? …screw that, I'll be fucked before that happens. Maybe I'll go see if he made it to school on time… but I can't just show up and search randomly for him… someone should know his schedule?
RUKIA! She'll know his schedule… but what if she's not at the shop? Oh, who cares? I'll go see. Yuzu and Karin were at school so I was free for a few hours anyway.

At Urahara's
"Ah, Grimmjow-san, why do you need Ichigo-san's schedule? You know you can't just pop in whether you know it or not."
"Right, so I'll just go out of this gigai, and get close enough to check it out, then I'll come right back here." It seemed like a simple enough plan, right?
"What if Ichigo-san sees you?"
"Well… I don't know, but I'll get outta there before that happens. I'm faster than him, remember?"
"You're the one responsible if you get caught," Urahara announced as he ducked his head in the underground training room. "Rukia-san~ you're needed."

School
I guess it was complete dumb luck that Rukia was there, ne? Well whatever, I just need to make sure he's alright. If anyone from Hueco Mundo saw me in the kind of situation… My blood boiled at the thought.
I approached a large sign that said 'Karakura High School'. Well, I guess he'll be here then, right? I headed around to the side of the school where Rukia directed. I noticed his hair immediately; it was just so bright, you'd have to be blind to miss it.

3rd Person POV
Grimmjow felt content seeing that Ichigo was there at school, perfectly sound (though he cursed at himself for overreacting… or even caring for that matter).
However, that content feeling didn't last long when the man Grimmjow was staring at locked eyes with himself. Oh, no.
A/N: I sincerely apologize for such a boring (and horribly short) update! I've seemed to enter a phase in which I have to literally FORCE myself to write. It's not fun at all, so if my work seems disgruntled, please direct a complaint to me so I can feel more motivated to please~ XD
BUT, regardless the reason, you all should leave me a review, because I enjoy them C:
BIG NOTE THAT DESERVES ALL CAPS: I have carefully thought about following chapters, and this story may go slightly farther into a school-based setting. n___n This is where my writing will go off majorly from the story line, because there will be new students, and WHO are these students? I'll list a few ;D
Grimmy~ (of course)
Ggio
Halibel (Too good to pass up/ *Will feature her Fraccion, as well~)
Tesla
Nnoitra
Nel (again, too good)
And POSSIBLY Szayel, I'm not too sure.
Thoughts~
And of course, the Soul Society crew will also reappear in Karakura High as well~
