Chapter 3—sharing a strawberry

It's been two days and guilt was still eating away at him. Grimmjow could not remember anytime he had felt guilt, either in his life as human, hollow or arrancar. He did not know what guilt really was until now. And now, he did not know what to do with this guilt that he knew he deserved to feel. There was a knock at his door. The door opened without Grimmjow saying anything to reveal Ulquiorra standing there.

"Whatcha want? Grimmjow snapped.

"You didn't respond to the summons." The fourth Espada stated.

"Summons?"

"Aizen-sama's of course."Ulquiorra sighed and thought that Grimmjow hadn't been himself for the past week or so. But it was hardly his place to care.

"Ya, I'm comin'."

He waited for Ulquiorra to leave but he just stood there.

"We are to go together."

They arrived at the meeting room. Aizen sat on his throne with Gin and Toshen behind him, standing guard.

Grimmjow inclined his head and Ulquiorra mumbled an "Aizen sama".

"There had been a disturbance in that town down on earth. Gin will explain."

"Yes, Yes. This is about out little strawberry." The white hair man smiled creepily.

Toshen interrupted and said "Go down to earth and keep an eye on the boy."

"Thank you for explaining what I was about to say." Gin looked to be about to say something more but Aizen stopped him by saying, "But make no contact with him or anyone unless absolutely necessary."

"Hai, Aizen-sama."

Ulquiorra and Grimmjow walked out, clearly dismissed. Ulquiorra tried to make conversation, lately he felt rather lonely in this place of whiteness."There seems to be some kind of competition going on between Gin and Toshen."

"Hadn't noticed."

"Of course not, you have lived in another world for the past week."

Ulquiorra said that and walked away with a "We are leaving within an hour for earth."

Any other time, Grimmjow would have had a smart comeback but he was still taking in the news that he was supposed to observe Ichigo but not get involved, which seemed highly impossible. No involvement meant, no touching, no kissing, no sucking, no fucking. Oh, God how he missed Ichigo's sweet tight spot. He shook his head trying to clear it and walked back towards his room to get the special charm to shield his reiatsu completely and to render him invisible to even shinigami eyes. Of course if they tried to they could find him but first they had to know what to look for.

Then his worries drifted back to Ichigo and the stupid thing he did two days ago. He had lost his mind. He saw Ulquiorra walking toward him (wow, time passes fast) and asked, "What exactly are we supposed to do?"

Ulquiorra noticed that Grimmjow looked nervous. His hands were pulling at his hair and his legs shuffling. What was the mighty Grimmjow so nervous about?

"I hadn't realized you had lost the ability to hear. We do as Aizen-sama told us.

Ulquiorra, who was waiting for a snappy comeback was surprised when Grimmjow merely said, "Which is-?"

"We are to watch, observe Kurosaki's behavioral pattern and find out what is causing the disturbances."

"Huh?"

"Let me make it simple, we do basically nothing, we follow him like ghosts watching everything he does, of course we can't let him find out we are there."

"Oh. Ok."

Ulquiorra who was talking a second ago, stood speechless at how different Grimmjow was acting. Maybe they needed to keep an eye out for him too.

"Come on let's go. No time to get lost in out little worlds of fantasy."

At that Ulquiorra snapped out of his thoughts and his mouth turned up at the corners. Relief flooded in him as Grimmjow finally said something that was expected of him. Then Grimmjow ruined the moment by something so out of his character that Ulquiorra almost tripped.

"Although, I wouldn't mind spending some time in my little world."

Ichigo was mad, his hormones were chaotic, he got hard just thinking about Grimmjow. On top of it, it had been two days since and Grimmjow hadn't bothered to call, text, email or just pop in to say hey. He conveniently forgot that Grimmjow probably didn't own a phone or have an email address due to the fact that he lived in a no service zone. Also, that he had guests that had nothing to do except laze around at his house and if they saw Grimmjow they would try to kill him and that definitely was not what Ichigo wanted. He also forgot that he had asked Grimmjow to give him a little space.

One thing was for sure, Ichigo Kurosaki wasn't thinking with his big head. He had relinquished control to the little one—which was not so little-down there.

He needed release; he was throbbing just remembering Grimmjow's intense eyes boring into him. He shivered in delight at the thought was what would come after that and ran to the bathroom as fast as he could from the living room.

Renji looked over at Hitsugaya, his eyebrows raised. Hitsugaya just shrugged in return.

"Maybe he has diarrhea."

They heard the shower running.

"very bad diarrhea?" Renji asked.

"He should talk to his dad if he has a problem."

"Would you ask his dad about anything that concerns your body?" Hitsugaya deadpanned.

Renji gulped remembering Ichigo's dad and shook his head vigorously "no…but he could probably prescribe something to make him feel better?"

"uh-huh" was Hitsugaya's reply as his attention went back to the t.v. where people were talking to each other about some stupid stuff.

Renji, who got bored very easily, started talking again.

"His reiatsu is also in a whack."

"Yes, it is kind of out of control (haha, just a little?)." Then he sighed, "Fine, we'll go practice later." He said with upmost reluctance, not wanting to leave the show unfinished.

"Yaaa!" Renji got up and was about to pound on the bathroom door when Ichigo came out.

"Guess what?"

"What?" Ichigo was still pissed of. Even though he got relief, and it was pleasurable, it was nothing compared to how Grimmjow made him feel and how Grimmjow pleasured him.

"Gees, dude, just cause you got diarrhea does not mean you got to be mean."

"I got diarrhea?" Ichigo asked with disbelief.

"Ya, man, I mean why else would you run in to the bathroom every five minutes?"(ya, why else? Berry-chan?)

Ichigo turned beet red at that, then he grumbled, "that's right. why else would I?"

"Anyway," Renji said his enthusiasm back, "we are going training later."

Ichigo visibly brightened at that, 'I won't have time to think about Grimmjow when training.' He thought with glee.

Grimmjow and Ulquiorra reached the human world.

"So, where's Ichi?"

Ulquiorra 's brow raised at the familiarity. But he just brushed it off.

"They are over there."

"Alright, around the park?"

"You are familiar with the landmarks?"

Grimm chose not to answer. 'Boy, am I familiar with them.' They floated over to the park and rested on top of the slide set. Down below, the shinigamis (Hitsugaya, Matsumoto, Renji, Rukia), Ichigo's friends (Uryu, Orihime, Chad) and Ichigo were sitting on the ground talking.

They heard Renji say, "So, what was the bad food you ate that caused diarrhea. Ichigo?"

Ichigo choked on the water he was drinking. "Wha—"

"Yes, it's true." Hitsugaya said stoically, "He goes to the bathroom every five minutes."

"Maybe Orihime can heal you." Rukia suggested.

"No." Ichigo said forcefully, "I'm fine. Anyway it's not diarrhea."

"Then what is it?" Renji and Rukia asked at the same time, a wicked smiled on their faces.

They started to inch towards Ichigo. "Umm…nothing." Ichigo started to mumble denials. He started crawling backwards when Orihime joined Rukia and Renji in their mission. "What is it, Ichigo-kun, maybe I can help?" she said sweetly. (poor girl you will never be able to help Ichigo in that way.)

Ichigo's mind flashed to Grimmjow and how Grimmjow helped him. He started feeling hot and tingly as if Grimmjow was right there somewhere in the park and was watching him intently.

"No, No" Ichigo started chanting. His reiatsu grew and started to grow more chaotic, spiraling out of control and pushing everyone away.

All of a sudden, everyone was serious and they circled around Ichigo.

Matsumoto shouted, "Ichigo, control yourself."

"As if I could. I'm trying you know." He yelled back.

"Alright every one, "Hitsugaya shouted, "You all know what to do right?"

"Hai" They all replied.

"In 3." Ordered Renji.

They all took out a badge that looked like the one Ichigo had but was much bigger and was see through. Then they ran at Ichigo, holding it up, towards Ichigo where his reiatsu was causing havoc on him. The badge thing opened and his reiatsu was sucked up by the seven badges as the reiatsu split up.

Ichigo fell down, all tired and out of energy. Everyone, even Hitsugaya had a nose bleed at how Ichigo looked. His cheeks were rosy; his chocolate eyes were wide and looked to be melting. His lips looked bruised and cherry red. His hair had fallen across his face, plastered there by his sweat. His shinigami robe had fallen open, revealing his wide tanned chest and his bulging six packs. The position he was lying in was very compromising to say the least. He was lying on the ground, his head up, looking at them with pleading eyes that were telling to do God knows what.

Ichigo did not know what kind of effect he was having on his friends. All he could see was a few of them on the ground unconscious and the others facing away from him, taking a peek at him every other second. Their eyes just kept drifting back to him and admiring and lusting after him.

"Help." Ichigo rasped out, "I'm dying here, can barely move."

"uhh… ya" Renji said as he inched towards Ichigo. Then, everyone else realized that Renji was about to touch Ichigo, their ready for sex Ichigo. They all ran to Ichigo shouting, "I want to help," "no, me." "Let me help." That is with the exception of Chad of course after he found his cool he kept it.

At this time, on top of the slide set, Ulquiorra had had a nosebleed and was blushing hard; but unlike the others down below he just blatantly stared at Ichigo, his eyes filled with lust.

Grimmjow was livid with rage and lust for Ichigo. Was Ichigo doing this on purpose? What was the purpose? Did he know that Grimmjow was there? Was he trying to make Grimmjow jealous? Well, it was working. But don't get him wrong. Just cause he was mad and didn't mean that he wasn't like what he was seeing. He just didn't like that everyone was seeing it too. He would personally make sure that all those shinigamis, humans and Ulquiorra plus all those furry animals would be dead. And of course, Ichigo would be punished for his wrong doings-did that count as being unfaithful? Wait, wait to be unfaithful, they would have to have a relationship. What the fuck?

Grimmjow was still lost in his thoughts when Ulquiorra spared him a glance from viewing Ichigo. "Kurosaki is very interesting indeed." He licked his lips. Grimmjow saw that out of the corner of his eyes and knew that Ulquiorra would bring about trouble—more trouble—in Grimmjow's and Ichigo's relation ship-what relationship?—never mind, their sex life.(hmmf, no more of that either.)

"Let's go. We've seen enough to report in." growled Grimmjow. Ulquiorra just nodded noting that Grimmjow wasn't as unaffected as he thought he was. Now that he was looking deeper, Grimmjows eyes were shooting daggers at everyone even Ulquiorra, his jaw had a defined tick, once could almost see smoke coming out of his ears. But another surprising element was the bulge in Grimmjow's pants despite the anger clearly shown in his face. Who would have thought?

At Hueco Mundo, they headed towards the assembly hall where everyone was waiting for them. They were all talking amongst themselves "wonder what that was?" "What wonderful power." "The big flash of reiatsu." They quieted when Grimmjow and Ulquiorra came in.

Aizen asked, "What happened?"

Ulquiorra replied, "Kurosaki's reiatsu went of control."

"I know." Aizen nodded, "We felt it even here."

Gin leapt in and said, "Why don't you show us Ulquiorra?"

"Yes" replied Ulquiorra, his cheeks tinged the faintest of pink.

As the scene played out, almost everyone had identical nosebleeds. Many rushed off to go the bathroom or their bedroom.

"That made my day. You guys get a raise." Aizen said.

'Wait, do we even have a salary?' Ulquiorra thought. Life sucks in hell.

Grimmjow spoke out of nowhere, "Is that all or are we continuing the mission? If we are, what's the point of both of us going? I'm enough." Aizen raised his eyebrow at that. "Ulquiorra will go also, If anything like this happens again, I want to see." He said with a lecherous smile.

Grimmjow wanted so bad to knock that smile off his face but was held back by Ulquiorra look and Aizen's growing aura.

Outside the assembly room, Ulquiorra turned to Grimmjow, "Not need to feel possessive. Kurosaki does not belong to any of us."

"Ichi—"

"Ulquiorra interrupted, "I meant the mission. If belongs of both of us or to none of us." Ulquiorra was living the series of expressions going across Grimmjow's face. So, our Grimmjow had feelings for the enemy huh? He turned away and started walking away. This mission was going to be fun.

Grimmjow returned to his room and sat down on his bed. He had nothing to do and was bored to hell. (haha don't laugh, not so funny the second time). He thought back to Ichigo and his length grew hot and hard, ready to enter Ichigo. His pants were getting uncomfortable. He took them off as it was exposed to the cool air, he gasped arching his back. He laid his cool hands over his hot hardness, He groaned at the double assault. He started to move his hands up and down, all the time imagining Ichigo's sweet warm mouth on it, his tongue swirling creating patterns. "Ahh…Ichi more." He panted out. His hips bucked to the rhythm of his hands as it pumped up and down; his thumb grazing the head. He moved one of his hands to his nippes and started twisting it, turning it, pinching it, remembering Ichigo nipping at it, their body against each other. Heat unfurled within him, reaching to every corner of his body. He tensed, and then let go, coming in his hands. He flopped on his bed, dead tired and fell asleep, dreaming once again about making sweet love to his berry.

Grimmjow: dammit no sex

Ichigo: I'm dying

Grimmjow: I knew it you want me.

Ichigo: then why the hell are you not coming to me.

Grimmjow: I thought you said you wanted space. well i'm giving you space.

Ichigo: just forget it. Anyway. Read and Review please.
