A/N: Hehe, so many reviews~! *loves them*. I do have some responses for a few reviews in particular though:
happygirl24 – Normally, I would surely do the lemon at the end, but I really want this story to go on forever… or at least until summer ends. XD Which gives me another month or so to use the last of my writing abilities. So, lemon at the end is highly unlikely. Or, I'll use the lemon as a story closer! New ideas, yay! *squeal*
MuffinzRBeast24 – Well, that is an idea, but I don't like avoidances, they make me sad, so I'll think of a proper type of awkwardness. T_T Also, I don't know about preaching undying love, since that's not Grimmy's style, and is it undying love if he's already dead? O_o The plot thickens. *Shocked Face*
Thanks again for all the reviews~!
"W-what did you say?" Grimmjow said, just above a whisper. Both he and Ichigo had temporarily forgotten that Grimmjow was still bleeding rather profusely from his wounds.
Ichigo quickly shifted his attention to something random in the desert, far away. "I didn't say anything that concerns you," he said with a flushed face. 'Dammit! How could I have slipped like that! This sucks!'
"The hell it doesn't concern me! You can't just say, 'I love you', then claim it doesn't concern the other person!"
"Oh, so you did hear me?" Ichigo scoffed. "I thought you did with those big, stupid ears of yours."
"You damned shinigami! I'll—" Grimmjow's retort was cut off as he spat quite a bit of blood out.
Ichigo's expression turned to slight panic. He withdrew his sword from Grimmjow's abdomen, causing more blood to flow out.
Ichigo called to Inoue as he floated down to the sand with Grimmjow slumped over his shoulder.
--
Inoue's Sōten Kisshun surrounded Grimmjow's body. He had reverted back to his normal appearance.
Ichigo watched completely expressionless; he had too many emotions running through him that his face couldn't pick one to show completely.
Well, the good news was that Grimmjow sure as hell wasn't going anywhere, and Ichigo was slowly forming a plan to keep Grimmjow in his sights at all time.
It was Friday, so he had all weekend to finish thinking.
Sunday
"What the hell is that…?" Grimmjow asked with a severely perplexed look on his face.
Ichigo just smirked as he responded, "It's a school uniform, of course. I thought since you had a very high intelligence that you'd know one when you saw one, or are you just stupid?"
"Che, don't be a smartass. But I'm flattered you said I had a high intelligence. You were right about that," Grimmjow shot back with just a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Ichigo and Grimmjow had a temporary stare-down until Ichigo spoke first, "Whatever, but you're gonna put that uniform on and you're gonna go to school with me tomorrow."
"Says who?"
"Says me. I won our battle, now you have to do what we agreed to!"
Grimmjow folded his arms and turned his head away. "Fine, I'll keep to my word, but I'm telling you, you just got lucky. I haven't fought in a while after all."
Monday
"Wake up, Grimm! You'll make us late."
"Goddammit *yawn*, do I have to go to school? Why does it have to start so early?"
Ichigo threw the uniform at Grimmjow. "Hurry up and get ready."
Grimmjow grumbled something quite vulgar at Ichigo under his breath but got up and headed to the bathroom nonetheless.

At School, Early Morning
Rukia, Chad, Ishida and Inoue all looked at each other with puzzled expressions. Ichigo didn't normally smile, hardly at all in fact, but this morning he had quite the smirk on his face. It was a little creepy.
The teacher walked into the room with a slightly flushed face. "Students, we have a new student today~. I'll say, he is quite handsome...." the last part was nearly an inaudible whisper.
The door to the class slid open and the whole class silenced in anticipation.
Grimmjow walked through the door with his sex aura going on all cylinders. Most, if not all, the girls ogled and giggled when he walked in (even a few of the guys).
Grimmjow put on his usual smug grin as he stood at the front of the class. He obviously didn't bother to be perfect with his uniform: his white T-Shirt underneath his pale yellow sweater vest wasn't tucked in and the top buttons weren't buttoned at all. His tie was also askew and not properly tied. (A/N: Pure hotness, in my opinion. ;D)
Ishida, Rukia, Chad and Inoue all looked at each other with wide eyes and partially opened mouths. What the heck is he doing here, in a uniform no less!?
"Would you like to introduce yourself?" the teacher asked, her face more flushed than before. The class silenced again.
"Ehh, I'm Grimmjow Jeagerjaques," Grimmjow said with an air of condescension.
"You can pick a seat anywhere, Mr. Jeagerjaques," the teacher swooned.
"Just Grimmjow is best," Grimmjow said walking to a seat next to Ichigo.
Later During Class…
"Grimmjow-kun, would you mind staying awake? No cat-naps in class~," the teacher said. Her face was still slightly flushed.
"I'm not napping; I remember your entire speech," Grimmjow said, though he yawned quite obviously after claiming he was completely awake.
"Really? Then won't you tell me what I said?" the teacher sounded skeptical.
Grimmjow didn't bother to straighten up or appear even slightly like he was interested as he recited the teacher's lecture, practically word for word.
The class stared at Grimmjow, even Ichigo was surprised.
Once the teacher turned back around and started teaching again, Ichigo leaned over to whisper, "Wow, Grimmjow. You're smarter than I thought!"
"Just because I knew what she said doesn't mean I understand it. This shit's boring as hell!" Ichigo just smirked.
Lunch Time
"I feel like I'm dying again! I have to do this everyday? I'd rather go to Soul Society," Grimmjow whined.
Ichigo opened his mouth to remark but someone beat him to it: "Grimmjow, what the hell are you doing here?"
Ichigo, Grimmjow and the others turned to see Renji, Rangiku, Ikkaku, Toushiro, and Yumichika heading towards them wearing school uniforms.
At the exact moment, Rangiku and Grimmjow did the "up-down"* look at each other. He was staring mainly at her breasts, and she was admiring his whole body figure.
"I haven't seen you before," Grimmjow commented.
"I've been away shopping~ though I'm quite sad we haven't met before. I'm Rangiku, Matsumoto Rangiku, and you are?"
Grimmjow stuck his hands in his pockets. "Grimmjow."
"Well, how about we go out for drinks sometime?"
Ichigo's usual frowned increased severely at this invite. Of course Grimm was gonna go out with her! Ichigo's blurt of "I love you" might not have been the best approach, but did it mean anything? Was Grimmjow going to even respect Ichigo's confession?
Not once after the fight did Grimmjow say anything about loving him back, or even a rejection. Ichigo prepared himself for the letdown.
"I'm involved with someone already, but I'll definitely head out for some drinking," Grimmjow responded.
Ichigo looked up at Grimmjow with a completely blank expression on his face. What? Did that mean that Grimmjow liked him back, even if just a little?
Ichigo slightly bushed for a moment, then quickly wiped it off his face.
A bunch of random girls from behind a random tree jumped out with very loud "Awes!"
Grimmjow leaned down to Ichigo's ear level and whispered, "Ichi, you got some creep-ass chicks in your school."
Ichigo flushed with Grimmjow being so closed to him, though he was thankful Grimm didn't notice as the former Espada looked back to the shinigami group. "Why weren't any of you in class earlier?"
"Not that it matters to you, Grimmjow, but we were having meetings in Soul Society," Renji shot back.
"I don't give a shit about your Soul Society. Just a buncha hypocrites," Grimmjow muttered.
Heading Back Home
Grimmjow walked in front of everyone else. He wanted to get home and get a good nap in. The ones at school weren't very satisfying.
Finally, it was just Rukia, Grimmjow and Ichigo walking along. They could see their house coming into view, but… something was different: Neliel was standing right outside the clinic talking with Yuzu.
"What're you doing here?" Grimmjow inquired with a somewhat harsh tone.
"Grimm-chan, I didn't know you had a big sister!"
A/N: Haha, yeah... Well, I think that Nel and Grimmjow really do look similar. I didn't like the ending to this chapter, but I lost my train of though intensely, and I couldn't recapture it. So I improvised.
I think the next chapter will have more fun and livliness. Plus, some random school problems that I hope will make you laugh.
Trouble is though, I dunno what types of classes there are in Bleach. Whenever you see them in school, it's for a second, then they run out to go get a Hollow. D:
Another thing is, in the latest Bleach (subbed), Ichigo said he would be back at noon... does that mean he's out at noon or goes home? But then Inoue and her friends eat lunch at school... GAH so confusing D:
So I'll definitely be improvising, so bear with me~
Review Please~!
