AN: Thank you all so much for reviewing my story. It's made me keep on writing and I value your comments so much. This chapter will be in Ichigo's Point of View. Just think it will be good to get Ichi's feelings in the chapter.

Grimmichi goodness! Also it is in an AU. I don't have a beta yet so I am sorry if there is any mistakes.

Warning: Yaoi, Male x Male, Slash, slight OOC, Lemons in story but not this chapter.

Chapter Three

What?! What the hell had happened? One minute I was planning my escape from that blonde guy's place and the next minute I am waking up. I was going to creep out as everyone was asleep as I knew that Grimmjow was dangerous.

I had to get out while he was asleep or I would have no chance of getting out while he was awake. I can remember the strength in his hands as he held my face in his hands and I can remember how he carried me on his back for so long as he was running.

Though he hadn't hurt me...much. Yeah it was a little painful when he dropped me on his shoulder. Also I had to be thankful that he hadn't killed me I guess. But that was no reason to be nice to him and stay around so I can get sucked into his insane view of the world.

Vampires, my ass.

I looked over to his sleeping form and I saw that he was asleep. His shirt that had some blood on it, like mine, was open a little and I could see a small sight of his chest. I followed the skin up over his neck and saw a raised scar, darker than the pale skin that was around it.

It was just a scar, it didn't mean that he was a vampire.

...

...

Shit. I had to get out of there. If not then I was going to start believing that this guy really was a vampire and I was the ultimate freaky vampire.

I pushed the covers off me and scrabbled down to the bottom of the futon I had crashed out on. I must have been really tired. It had been one hell of a night. I was walking over to the door, quietly as well quieter than ever before in my life. Before I knew what was happening my face hit the ground and I felt a strong hand encircling my ankle.

"Hello. Going somewhere nice?" He asked me and I whipped my head round to see him grinning at me. I just wanted to plant my foot in his face like I did with my dad. "It's good to know that I am still stronger and quicker than you. Where were you going?"

"Home. I've got classes this morning." I replied. "I'm going to be late."

"You're very late for your classes. It must be about eight in the evening. Anyway you can't go home and you can't go to your classes." Grimmjow stated with a look on his face that told me that I was very very stupid.

I returned the look and pushed myself up from the floor as he finally let go of my foot. "Eight?! I don't care. I'm leaving." I couldn't stay here anymore. I was getting a feeling of increasing danger and I didn't want to be any part of this craziness that was going on.

"You can't. If you go home then they will find you. That will be the first thing they do. There will be someone at your house or apartment as soon as the sun went down. They'll be waiting for you. I know how they operate."

"Fine then I'll go to my dad's or a friend's place." I made my way to the door again before he was up and holding onto my arm. His fingers were around my bicep and they felt warm. Odd, I thought vamps were colder than a ice pop in a snowstorm.

"They will have done their homework on you. If I don't know them better they will have got addresses of everyone y'know just in case you went to their place. People will have been watching their houses. They know how people work, well Ulquiorra does."

"So I've got no choice but to stay with you. Thanks but no thanks." I tried to pull away but hsi fingers tightened.

"For fuck's sake! Aren't you getting it? I'm your best chance at staying alive for more than an hour out there. Or worse. They give you to Syazel. If you want to live and not be experimented on then stop whining like some depressed chick. I'm your best option. DEAL with it!"

I really didn't like this but I shut up. I had nowhere else to go. I definitely did not want to bring my family and friends into this. Shit, I was going to have to stay with him. He was still looking at me so I looked into his eyes which were the colour of the sky in the summer, no they were brighter than that.

His hand was still holding onto my arm so when he walked out of the room I had to follow him. There was a deathly silence in the store. I couldn't hear anything from the whole of the house. My hearing was expanding to take in a larger distance. I could hear police sirens a couple of streets away and I could hear people talking a little way away. So why couldn't I hear anything?

I couldn't even hear Grimmjow breathing, yet I could hear his heart pumping blood sluggishly. Thu-dud...thu-dud. Okay so maybe that wasn't normal but neither was the super hearing. I was frowning again as we stood there. The silence surrounding us.

He looked at me and mouthed 'Something is very wrong.'

I knew that. The blanket of noiseless air was clogging my senses and making me very anxious. I gritted my teeth and ignored the feeling to give into the fear. I would not be defeated by it.

It could have only been a minute but it felt like we were standing there for an eternity. I held my breath, though I had been doing that all the time that I had been around Grimmjow I realised. I hadn't breathed, I couldn't breathe. I'm not going along that train of thought.

The blue haired guy, I was refusing to call him a vampire, began to walk slowly along the corridor we were in. His fingers were beginning to hurt but I didn't say a word, I daren't. I wasn't that stupid that I didn't know they we needed to be silent. My own heart was sluggishly thumping but it was louder and faster than Grimmjow's.

It was so loud that it thumping in my ears.

Thu-DUD...Thu-DUD. Our footsteps didn't make a noise against the wooden flooring. I half expected some man to jump out and attack us as we creeped into the main area of the shop.

They were playing with us. The men that Grimmjow had said would find me and would know everything about me were here. They knew that I would be here. Now I was just a little bit happy that Grimmjow was here. He was obviously very strong and hopefully if they had come to kill me then he would help me out.

I was strong but I had a feeling that these guys were stronger.

It was so quiet and my heart thumped loudly and the minutes ticked by.

"FUCK THIS! Where the hell are you, you bastards?!" Grimmjow roared next to me, causing me to jump and angrily look in his direction.

Did he have a death wish?

...

Scrap that question.

Obviously yes, seeing as he carried on yelling, stupid jackass. "I know you are there. I'm going to rip you to pieces anyway so you-"

"So loud Grimmjow. You always were a blabbermouth." A guy with black as night hair which just past his ears and emerald green eyes stepped into view. Under his eyes were two scars which had been tattooed to look green. Green teartracks.

I didn't like him from the instant I saw him. His whole look screamed out that if he killed me he wouldn't show any remorse or guilt for terminating a life. He would not cry. His tattoo was a trick.

Behind him stepped out another man. Blonde hair cascaded over his shoulders and I got a slightly different vibe from him. It was like he didn't want to be here. He had something better to do but that might just be a cover for something else.

"Yeah and you were always a whiny bitch, Ulquiorra." Grimmjow retorted as he grinned. Why the hell was he grinning?! "Yylfordt. I see they got to you."

"Brother, you know what it is like. If I didn't then I would end up with the same fate as you. My allegiance has always rested with you but when you do something that goes against vampire law-" There was that word again. Vampire. "-then I'm afraid I just can't be loyal to someone who disrespects everything we stand for."

Grimmjow didn't look scared. In fact he looked more than happy, full with joy. I was starting to think that maybe he was missing a few screws.

"Grimmjow this does not matter. I have orders from Aizen-sama to take you back so he can deal with you himself. Also to kill the victim. If you get in the way then I shall only just keep you alive." Ulquiorra had stepped closer to us, his face was still in a frown and I saw no emotion behind his green eyes. If eyes are the gateway to the soul then his was bleak, empty and desolate.

Do vampires have souls? Was he a vampire?

Argghhh! Stop it! I am not going down that track. i won't for fear of losing everything that links me to normality.

"And I shall only just kick your ass." Grimmjow was insane or psychotic or both. I was betting both but the way he leapt at Ulquiorra was psychotic. He jumped at the tear tattooed male with such a fierosity that I had ever seen once before in my life, moments before I had blacked out. Grimmjow could be likened to a big cat going for his prey. Feline qualities as he moved with both grace and strength.

Ulquiorra moved so quick that my eyes were following him but I still couldn't see the whole of him. My eyes were a second behind. He moved towards me, going to attack and I saw his wide green eyes pierce into mine. No feelings, numbness inside him. Grimmjow leapt again and Ulquiorra just moved out the way.

His first job was to kill me and he would do everything to deal with me first.

I could hear Grimmjow growling as he threw himself at Ulquiorra once more. "You're like a bug I can't stamp on!"

Ulquiorra said nothing but this time he blocked Grimmjow's attack, throwing him to the side. The blue haired male rolled over with the speed of his attack pushed back on him and thwacked against a wall. A few bones must have been broken from the sound of snapping.

I backed away slowly but Ulquiorra just advanced on me just as fast as he had done before. Grimmjow was only getting up as Ulquiorra's hands went for my chest.

I blacked out. That was happening a lot.

Clear skies with white clouds were crossing my vision and glass with steel was everywhere. Where was I?

Stranger and stranger. This was turning out to be on crazy day or two.

I stood up as I had been lying on the ground. I could hear a cackling so I whipped around to see...me.

He looked just like me except he was all white. His hair was as white as my hair was orange. Gold eyes surrounded with black stared right back at me.

"Hello king it is about time we met." Gold eyes said.

"King?! What do you mean?"

"Yes, king. You are what should have died when the beast attacked you. I should have taken over but you survived and kept your body. I have been trying to get out but something won't except me. You're too...stubborn to let me, kingy." He said, his voice echoed inside itself as he grinned with malicious glee.

It clicked. Just like that and I knew what was going on. I just had to accept what was happening to me. But I wouldn't. I couldn't.

"You're nothing more than some hallucination I am having from the fear. An escape from the reality I was experincing."

"I am no hallucination but a part of you. A new part of you that was created when it's teeth entered your neck but wasn't allowed to take control when his blood entered your body. I am still here though. Let me out and you have no need to fear anyone. Except me of course." He cackled again. Glaring gold eyes slitted with humour.

I could hear the stepping of his feet against the glass and he walked closer to me. I couldn't move so he stepped all the way until his face was inches away from mine.

"Ichigo. Let me out of the cage you have constructed. Free me and watch them flee."

My brown eyes were reflected in his gold ones. I could see myself in the darkness of what should have been the whites of his eyes.

Shifting. Brown to gold.

A sudden loud noise jolted me out of wherever I had been and I was back. Lying on the floor several feet from Grimmjow who was already pushing himself onto his feet. I couldn't see much else thanks to the smoke that had filled the room. Debris was everywhere and Grimmjow was kicking it out of the way.

"Come on Kurosaki we have to get out." He said to me pulling me up. "I knew that he was still under me."

"Never again Grimmjow." Came a smooth voice from in the smoke before the blonde man stepped forward, Yylfordt. He smiled serenely though I think the smile was hiding something.

We stepped out of the store through a large hole in the wall. Outside there were a few people who were standing around to see the show. I ignored them as I stumbled out into the street. Grimmjow was still holding onto me as the three of us walked towards the blonde guy from early this morning, Urahara I think his name was and a group of others.

"We had noticed something was up and moved outside. Also we found out that you were being targeted by your friend here." Hat and clogs motioned to the right of him with his fan, pointing to yet another man with black hair which reached his shoulders and an eyepatch.

"Hey Grimmy! I had to help a friend in need." He said before he was punched in the face by an angry Grimmjow.

"Fuck off Nnoitra. I know you enough to know that the only reason you are here is to act as Aizen's spy."

"It is not true Grimmjow." Yylfordt stopped Grimmjow from hitting Nnoitra and I was having trouble standing up by myself. "He found out that you were going against Aizen's orders and respected you for it. He is on our side."

"Yeah Grimmy-", "It's Grimmjow Jaegerjaques. Not Grimmy." Grimmjow said through gritted teeth. I thought I had it difficult with the name Ichigo, Jaegerjaques?

"As I was going to say, Grimmy, I'm here for you. I've been wanting to go against Aizen since day one. Was just waiting for the fireworks to start."

"If you go against me-" Grimmjow started.

Nnoitra interrupted. "Yeah yeah I know. New asshole and all that. Now let's go get some food. I am starving."

Can they eat?

"Yes we can eat Kurosaki." Grimmjow had visibly calmed down and was once again propping me up. He was a little close for comfort but I didn't fancy falling over on my ass in front of these guys. "We just have to drink blood as well. I like my steak rare that's all. You will find this all out as it happens to you. We'll go hunting later."

"Let's go get some food and we can discuss where we are going to stay as we eat." Yylfordt said calmly as he walked off.

How come I got the feeling that this was not the end? But far from it?

AN: Hope you like this chapter. Sorry it goes a bit too much into detail in places and not others. Please review!

Next Chapter: Where will the four of them stay? They guess they aren't welcome at Urahara's anymore. The first place to hide is the last place that they would guess you would ever go. The society of souls faction.
