Okay first i would like to apologize once again for the unnecessarily long wait for this update. I have had a lot on my plate at the moment. I have started to fall behind in school and am currently struggling not to fail my classes so i hope you can all understand that my first priority must be my school. I sat down and started writing this at like 11:53 pm and finished it around 3. So i apologize for any and all the mistakes that i have made. I am also sorry if at the end it seems kind of rushed. I hope you like this chapter because i have had fun writing it. I would really appreciate any and all reviews/feedback that i can get on this chapter. I really need the feedback to know what I need to work on more. Suggestions for my writing style that could help me later would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you to all who reviewed the last chapter. After i read the reviews i jumped right into writing the next chapter and got half way done with it when i didn't really do that chapter justice and i put it off for a while to let my thoughts sit for a while and to contemplate how to have this fic proceed in an appropriate manner (my writing that is not the story because come on it's rated M for a reason XD)\

Chapter 4: A Visit to Kisuke Urahara
Ichigo was sitting on a bench in the park watching his sisters play with some of their friends; they were kicking around a soccer ball and having the time of their lives. The next thing he knew two hands covered and he heard that familiar chuckle he knows so well.
"Guess who." Grimmjow said from behind Ichigo.
Ichigo chuckled fondly at Grimmjow's playfulness. He brought his hands up to the hands that were covering his eyes and pulled them away and turned around to see Grimmjow staring at him like a predator looks at its prey. It made a shiver run down Ichigo's spine.
"Grimmjow!" Yuzu yelled as she ran up to Grimmjow and jumped into his arms giggling happily. Grimmjow just held her and spun her around and was laughing along with her like he was her father.
"What are you doing here?" Yuzu asked excitedly while hugging Grimmjow tightly
Grimmjow kissed her cheek and set her back down on the ground after she stopped hugging him. He kneeled down so he was eye level with.
"Well, I came here to spend the day with all of you." Grimmjow said with a smile the made Ichigo's heart flutter. Yuzu smiled and leaned in and kissed Grimmjow's cheek before she turned around and ran back to her friends. Grimmjow just smiled and turned around to face Ichigo giving him that grin that always made his heart flutter in his chest. He walked towards Ichigo and sat down on the bench next to him and wrapped his arms around Ichigo. He leaned towards Ichigo and kissed the side of Ichigo's head, which made Ichigo blush. When Grimmjow turned away from Ichigo to watch Yuzu and Karin play soccer Ichigo leaned over and layed is head on Grimmjow's shoulder smiling happily as he watched his sisters, and every now and then he would look at the man that had his arms wrapped around him which filled him with a sense of security.
"Thank you, Grimmjow." Ichigo said as he looked back towards where his sisters were playing.
Grimmjow looked down at Ichigo and smiled. He kissed his temple then proceeded to nuzzle Ichigo's neck making Ichigo shudder.
"For what?" Grimmjow asked as he was nuzzling Ichigo's neck. Ichigo chuckled when he felt Grimmjow's smile against his neck.
"For coming out here to spend the day with my family and making my sister smile." Ichigo said with a bright smile of his own.
"Anytime, besides you mean the world to me, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for you, and to top it off your sisters have grown on me on me and I like to make them smile." Grimmjow said a faint blush painting his cheeks as he smiled and gazed deeply into Ichigo's glowing amber eyes. The same eyes that were constantly taking his breath away.
Ichigo's heart swelled with pride at hearing Grimmjow confess his feeling for him, and he couldn't help the smile that spread across his face as his cheeks turned a faint pink. Ichigo brought his hand to Grimmjow's face. He leaned in and brought his lips to Grimmjow's locking him in a passionate kiss.
"I love you Grimmjow." Ichigo said as he pulled away smiling at his boyfriend.
"I love you too, Ichi, with all of my heart." Grimmjow said with a smile and kissed Ichigo's forehead.
*BEEP, BEEP, BEEP*
Ichigo opened his eyes to the sound of his alarm clock going off. He reached over to his night stand and hit the off button on his alarm clock. He sat up with a groan and looked around his dark room. That's when he started to remembered the dream and he couldn't help but smile at his dream. His heart swelled with how Grimmjow acted in his dream.
"If only he could act like that in real life." Ichigo said with a small chuckle
Ichigo got out of bed and moved toward his closet to get his school clothes out. He opened his closet door only to receive a kick to his gut that sent him flying back towards his bed.
'GOOD MOOORNING ICHIGO!" Isshin said as he jumped out of the closet with a big goofy grin on is face.
"WHAT THE HELL DAD!" Ichigo screamed as he sat up from where he landed on the floor clutching his stomach.
"My son, you must be ready for anything. You can be attacked at any moment at any place" Isshin said
"OTHER THAN YOU, WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO ATTACK ME FROM MY CLOSET?!"Ichigo screamed in exasperation.
"My son, that is not the point of these lessons that I gi-…" Isshin got cut off by a kick to his head that knocked him unconscious
"SHUT UP OLD MAN AND LEAVE ME ALONE!" Ichigo said as he stepped over his dad's unconscious body and grabbed out his school uniform and walked out of his room down the hall to the bathroom to take a shower and get dressed
Ichigo walked into the bathroom and closed and locked the door behind him. He walked over to the shower and pulled back the curtain. He turned the water on then he began to undress. He tossed is clothes into the hamper next to the sink. Ichigo grabbed a towel from the cupboard under the sink and set it on the back of the toilet and once Ichigo deemed the water hot enough he stepped into the shower closing the curtain behind him. Once the curtain was closed Ichigo pulled the lever that redirected the water from the faucet to the shower head up.
As the water cascaded over Ichigo's body soothing is tired muscles and joint Ichigo's mind began to drift back toward his dream.
"That dream was by far the weirdest I have had." Ichigo thought to himself his smile returned as he washed his hair.
Once Ichigo had finished washing his hairhe shut of the water and stepped out of the shower and grabbed the towel to dry himself off. Once Ichigo had dried off he put on his clothes and walked out of the bathroom and back to his bedroom. His dad was still lying on the floor unconscious and Ichigo had to step of his body to grab his bag that he needed for school. Once he had his bag in his hand he walked back out of his room and downstairs.
"Good morning Ichigo." Yuzu said with a smile on her face as Ichigo walked into the kitchen. She proceeded to put his breakfast on the table for him to eat.
'Morning, Yuzu, sorry but today I'm running late and I don't have time to eat, thanks though."
"That's ok Ichigo. Oh I almost forgot your dinner is in the fridge." Yuzu said with a smile
"My dinner? Are you not going to be here tonight?' Ichigo asked
"No me and Karin are going to a sleep over at a friend's house"
"Oh, well I hope you have fun, and remember to behave." Ichigo said and walked over to his sister to give her a hug and proceeded to kiss her forehead, and with that he walked to the door, opened it, walked outside and closed it behind him.
Ichigo's walk to school was filled with a relaxing, and calming silence. He made it to school just in time for the bell to ring. Cursing Ichigo sprinted inside the school and made his way to is class as fast as he could. Ichigo managed to make it to his class before his teacher and got into his seat just in time.
The day was uneventful and was quite boring. Nothing new happened; it was just another average day at school. When lunch came around he found himself on the lying down on the school roof looking up at the clouds. He heard the door to the roof open and turned to see Tatsuki walk in and close the door behind her. She walked over to Ichigo with a smile on her face and sat down next to Ichigo.
"Hey Ichigo, I got some good news for you." Tatsuki said smile still on her face
"Yeah, and what might that be?" Ichigo asked as he looked up at her
"You know that guy you old me about the other day? The one with the blue hair and god-like appearance?" Tatsuki asked
"Yeah…?" Ichigo said skeptically not sure where Tatsuki was going with this
"I think I found him." Tatsuki said excitedly her smile so big her eyes were closed
Ichigo sat up abruptly at what Tatsuki had said. Although he didn't let his hopes get too high because Grimmjow was after all an espada and like shinigami couldn't be seen by average humans, but he knew that most of his friends after he had become a substitute soul reaper had begun to gain the ability to see them, so Ichigo couldn't help the swell of hope that he felt.
"Where?" Ichigo asked excitement and anticipation plain in his voice
"I think I found him working at a store that is owned by a guy named Kisuke Urahara. When I walked past the shop I saw him carrying in boxes wile that weird blonde guy just sat on the porch with a fan in front of his face." Tatsuki told Ichigo
Ichigo got up and ran to the door and opened it, and just as he was about to walk through the door he turned back to Tatsuki
"Thank you, Tatsuki" Ichigo said with a smile
"Don't mention it, now go and get your man Ichigo Kurosaki!" Tatsuki said with a wide smile
Ichigo turned around and ran through the door with a blush on his face. He ran down the steps. He ran out the front doors of the school and ran down the path and out through the gates. He ran as fast as he could to Urahara's shop. He didn't know exactly why he was so eager to see his greatest rival again, he just knew that he had to or he would go mad.
He was half way there when it hit him. What would he say to Grimmjow? He couldn't exactly go up to Grimmjow and say "Kiss me" could he? No, he could definitely not do that. Ichigo slowed his run down to a walk, and slowed even more until he was just standing on the sidewalk
"I guess I could always play dumb and ask Kisuke to open a Garganta to go to Hueco Mundo and have him introduce us I guess, and I can work with that. Yeah I'll do that." Ichigo thought nervously.
Ichigo chuckled at himself. When had he turned from Mr. Macho into a sixteen year old girl nervously thinking of ways to talk to her first crush? Ichigo shook that thought from his head and continued on his way to Kisuke's shop.
Ichigo arrived at Urahara's fifteen minutes later. He would have gotten their sooner but he decided that he wanted to walk the rest of the way. He opened the doors and walked inside
"Kisuke!" Ichigo shouted.
Kisuke Urahara appeared second later with that fan in front of his face.
"Ahh. Ichigo what can I do for you today, hmm? Kisuke asked as he lead Ichigo to his sitting room where he sat down with a cup of tea in front of him like he had been expecting Ichigo
"I need you to open a Garganta for me." Ichigo said
"Oh, and may I inquire as to why you need to go to Hueco Mundo?" Kisuke asked
"There is just somebody there I need to see, and as far as I know that is where he is at the moment." Ichigo lied
"Who do you need to see, Ichigo?" Kisuke asked playfully
"Grimmjow Jeagerjaques." Ichigo stated calmly
"I'm afraid to say that you going to Hueco Mundo to see Grimmjow would be a waste of time" Kisuke said after the brief moment of shock.
"Huh? Why is that?" Ichigo asked know already full well that Grimmjow was no longer in Hueco Mundo
Kisuke hesitated for a moment before he replied "That's because he is wor-" Kisuke was cut off when the door was thrown open.
"Hey, Kisuke, where do you want that new shipment of soul pills? Grimmjow asked as he walked in. he stopped dead in his tracks once he noticed that Ichigo was there and that he was looking at him.
"Shit!" Grimmjow muttered under his breath
Ichigo looked away as he felt himself start to blush at the sight of Grimmjow.
Kisuke noticed Ichigo blush, and smiled maniacally behind his fan
"As I was saying, there is no need for you to go to Hueco Mundo looking him, because he is already here." Kisuke said as he motioned to Grimmjow with his fan that maniacal smile clearly seen on his face
Grimmjow just barely managed to push away his look of pure shock that Ichigo was looking for him just as Ichigo looked at him with those eyes that had Grimmjow's heart beating faster. Yes Grimmjow was attracted to Ichigo, but who couldn't be. He had that thing about him that made it impossible NOT to fall head over heels for him. He was also the main reason Grimmjow was here in the world of the living. He just wanted to be closer to the orange headed man that had managed to capture the heart he never thought he had.
After their fight in Hueco Mundo Grimmjow's hallow hole had closed up and his bone mask had disappeared. This had puzzled Grimmjow for a while until he realized it happened when he admitted to himself that he had fallen in love with Ichigo bit by bit just by fighting with him
After he had fully healed he had opened a Garganta and came to the world of the living, and of course the first person he encountered happened to be Kisuke Urahara. Naturally he had been curious as to how Grimmjow's hollow hole and bone mask had disappeared. His curiosity had also led him to asking Grimmjow why he was in the world of the living. Grimmjow was hesitant to tell Kisuke why, but decided that this man could help him get closer to the man he had fallen in love with so he told him, and after the man had managed to stop his laughing Grimmjow punched him in the face. Kisuke agreed to help Grimmjow and gave him a job in his shop.
"You were looking for me?" Grimmjow asked as a light blush started to dust his face
"Yeah, I guess was." Ichigo said with a smile as he noticed that Grimmjow was starting to blush
"Why were you looking for me?" Grimmjow asked innocently trying desperately to stop from blushing
"Well according to one of Ichigo's friends that came to visit me the other day asking about you, our Ichigo has a crush on you." Kisuke said chuckling to himself.
Ichigo broke into the biggest blush Grimmjow had ever seen, as he began to fidget in his seat looking anywhere but at Grimmjow.
Grimmjow's face broke into that signature shit-eating grin of his as he walked forward and he grabbed Ichigo by the arm and yanked him up onto his feet.
"Good, at least me that saves me some time." Grimmjow said with a wide smile
"What are you tal-"Ichigo began to say but was cut off when Grimmjow crashed his lips against his with such ferocity Ichigo couldn't help but gasp which allowed Grimmjow to shove his tongue into Ichigo's mouth.
Ichigo moaned into the kiss. He brought his arms up and wrapped them around Grimmjow's neck. Ichigo and Grimmjow's tongues began to fight for dominance which Grimmjow quickly won. His tongue began to explore Ichigo's mouth mapping out every inch of the orangette's mouth committing it to memory.
"Ahem!" Kisuke cleared cleared his throat which caused Ichigo and Grimmjow to break their heated kiss when they realized that they were no alone in the room. Both were gasping for air, and both of their faces were bright red from the blush that was painting their cheeks. Grimmjow and Ichigo were staring into each other's lust filled eyes. Ichigo broke their little staring contest contest and ran out the door.
"Crap, I did something wrong didn't I?" Grimmjow asked Kisuke who appeared to be uncomfortable with what just occurred.
"No, I just think Ichigo has a lot on his mind right now. His friend told me that Ichigo has never had a romantic relationship with anybody before. So I think it is safe to assume that he just needs time to sort out his feelings, just give him time." Kisuke said as he got up and walked over to Grimmjow and put his hand on Grimmjow's shoulder, then he walked out of the room leaving Grimmjow alone.
