Angelchan2012: Ichi~! *blushes*

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Ichigo groaned as he rolled over on his side and turned off the alarm clock that was beeping irritably. He sat up on his bed and got up, grabbing some clothes as he walked over to the shower to wash up and get ready for work. Zangetsu was already awake and prowling about the apartment, most likely watching television. Yes, the berry's cat knew how to work the TV remote, that's how smart he was-just guess what channel he was watching. (A/N You gets a cookie if you guessed Discovery Channel! Lol XD) Ichigo walked out of the bathroom, dressed and ready to leave, but just before he did, he fed his pet and said, "Okay Zangetsu, I'm leaving you in charge of the place while I'm gone, so no parties got it?" Zangetsu gave him a look that said, 'Just go to work so you can continue feeding me, okay?' Ichigo smirked and left the apartment, locking the door behind him and walking to the clinic.


Grimmjow couldn't believe his luck…Aizen had given him a month off! Holy shit! Maybe bastard-sama isn't so bad after all…? Nah…he's still an asshole with a godlike complex and creepy-ass boyfriend that has slit-like eyes...the creep, the blunette thought, smirking, now to try and get the berry. He walked into his flat and saw Pantera lying on the sofa. It had been a week since I had taken this fat ass to the vet, so it wouldn't hurt to do a check-up, right? Grimmjow thought, smirking, causing Pantera to give him a, 'What do you want?' look. He laughed to himself, causing his cat to think his owner was crazy and grabbed the black furred creature, bringing him to the tycoon's car and placing the feline in it, Grimmjow said, "It's time you and I saw a certain Strawberry, dontcha think, Pantera?"

The cat turned and gave him a look that said, 'Only you want to see him because of his ass, while as I wish to see him because of his comforting personality.'

The blunette scoffed as if he heard his pet's thoughts and sped off towards the veterinary clinic, in high hopes of seeing his Strawberry.


"I told you before Rukia, Chappy doesn't need to be fed so much! Please stop doing this or he's going to get even worse!" Ichigo scolded, concern etched across his face as he talked to a petite woman with raven colored hair. Rukia Kuchiki had her pet Chappy the Bunny, and Rukia-well, while she loved the bunny…she had an awfully bad habit of feeding the poor creature too many times during the day. The rabbit looked more like an over stuffed cotton ball! "I'll stop, I promise, but please! Please try and help my poor Chappy, Ichigo! Please! If he doesn't get better, nii-sama won't get me another one!" the girl begged.

'Won't get me another one?' the berry thought, sweat dropping, what, and is the family made of money? No-I shouldn't think that! Bad Ichigo! Bad! Help her out! He placed the creature on the table and injected it with a small amount of liquid, "There…this should help the little guy, just be sure to give him plenty of water and give him a normal diet, don't over-feed him, okay?" Rukia smiled brightly at the red head, nodding and said, "Oh thank you Kurosaki-san! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Nii-sama will be so happy that Chappy is well!" Ichigo laughed nervously and said, "Okay, well, just remember what I said, and he should be fine. Take care now," letting the girl leave the building and glanced down towards the list of visitors.

"Okay, so…is there a Kenpachi Zaraki in the room?" Ichigo said softly, looking about the room curiously, only to gulp as a huge man stood, smiling like a maniac. "That's me," he-Zaraki said, his hair tied up with, bells? Ichi had to stifle a giggle, only because the man was very scary with the scars that littered his face, as well as arms. This guy definitely fights in his spare time, the red head thought, I'm so glad to have moved out of the house…no more 'surprise attacks' from goat face. Kenpachi had brought in a dog that held the name of Hanataro, for a check-up and was happy to hear a clean bill of health from the berry.

"So, Kurosaki…" the man grinned, "have ya decided to take me up on my offer yet?" Ichigo sighed as he wrote the dog's information on the file and said, "No, Kenpachi, I told you before that I refuse all my clients when they ask me out and I'm refusing you. I'm sorry," Kenpachi frowned and stood up, walking over to the berry and said, "Why? What's wrong with me?" Ichigo was surprised to be confronted this way and said, "N-nothing's wrong…I-I just don' think it's the right time for me to go out with someone right now…that's all…" The raven looked at him incredulously before saying, "I will win your heart berry, just you see. You will be mine." Ichigo stared at him wide eyed, before regaining his cool and said, "If you don't mind, I have other patients to attend to, so please. Leave."

One could say the rest of the day went pretty well, other than that.


Grimmjow arrived just about an hour before the clinic closed. Damn, just made it…I should stop procrastinating and try to get here earlier, but if I did…then I wouldn't get to spend some alone time with my Berry, ne? the blunette smirked at this last thought, opening his door, grabbing Pantera and walking to the entrance of the clinic. The bell rang, signaling the vet and any others still inside the building of the tycoon's arrival.

Ichigo walked into the front of the building and saw the teal hair colored man, and said, "Oh! It's you Grimmjow…how can I help you this time?" Grimmjow smirked, thinking, I could come up with a few answers to that question…but instead said, "Just coming in fer a follow up check-up fer Pantera." The Strawberry smiled and nodded, waving his hand for the two to follow him into the back room again.

The blunette placed the Bombay on the table and waited for the vet's further instructions. The red head examined the cat, checking his vitals and making sure nothing was wrong. "…Well, it looks like Pantera's fine, clean bill of health!" the berry said, turning to the blunette with a big smile, "He hasn't had any other stomach problems, right?" Grimmjow was momentarily stunned from the orange head's smile that he said, "Wha…? Oh, no, he hasn't. He's been eating right and everything, thanks to you, doc." The blush that graced the berry's face had the blunette wanting to taste him badly.

"W-well, that's g-good," Ichigo stuttered, mentally cursing himself, dammit! Why am I acting like this? I never stutter around clients, no matter how hot they look-no! Don't think like that! Bad Ichigo! Bad! Grimmjow smirked, liking the reactions he was getting from the red head and-deciding to be bold- said, "Say, Berry, why don't you and I go out for a drink some time?" This brought Ichi out of his stuttering stupor, as he scowled and said, "Sorry, I don't go out with clients…it's a rule of mine…" The blunette frowned and said, "C'mon…no one else will know…just give it a shot Berry…whaddaya say?"

Ichigo seemed to contemplate the pros and cons of going, his brows furrowed, as though deep in concentration. Finally he sighed and said, "I guess I'll go." Grimmjow chuckled and said, "Don't sound too excited…Strawberry." The immediate reply he got was, "DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Grimmjow barked a laugh as he gave the berry a card with his personal number on it, gaining a cute blush from the boy. He leaned forward and whispered in Ichi's ear, "Ya know berry…if ya keep blushin' like that, I might end up eating you." This only deepened the blush, putting a tomato to shame, and the grin Grimm wore threatened to split his face. He couldn't contain his laughter as he sat in the car with Pantera and speed off. Oh yes…today was a good day.


Ichigo's face threatened suicide via spontaneous combustion by the time he got home. Zangetsu had given him a look, with his head tilted that said, 'What happened at work?-Wait…that Grimmjow person showed up, right? So what happened? What did he do?' Ichigo sighed and tried to calm himself down by making some tea, but only succeeded in burning himself, so instead he got himself a glass of water and took a large gulp to calm his nerves. He then brought the glass to the living room and sat on the sofa to try-the key word try and relax.

Zangetsu hopped up on his master's lap and looked up at him, waiting patiently for an answer. Ichigo sighed, rubbing his pet's head and said, "Yeah, the guy showed up, and I gave his pet a routine check up-at least that's what I thought that's all it was gonna be. Then the guy has the nerve to go and ask me out!" Ichigo gave out a furious huff and continued on, "At first I refused, you know how I always do? But no-this guy was persistent, so I-I….oh my god…"

Zangetsu looked at him, and if Ichigo didn't know better, he would have sworn the cat was smirking at him, and giving him a look that said, 'You did something completely unlike you, didn't you? You agreed to go out with him, didn't you? But you didn't agree because you felt sorry for him…no, I'll let you figure that out on your own.' The brown feline hopped off his owner's lap and proceeded to walk into the bedroom, only to glance back to see if Ichigo was following him. Tomorrow was the weekend after all, which meant no work, so they could relax and it would allow the poor berry some time to think.

Ichigo sighed and followed his cat, thinking, who's the owner in this relationship? Me or Zangetsu? I could've sworn it was me, but oh well…I guess I'm just tired is all…maybe some sleep will do me good. The berry yawned and stretched his limbs, grabbing his night clothes and changing into them before climbing into bed, and curling into himself, allowing sleep to work her magic on him. Zangetsu purred at his master's face, thinking, 'I can't wait to see what my master's mate looks like…this man sounds promising…much better than the others that have tried to touch my master.'


Grimmjow walked into his home laughing his ass off, to say the least. He was happy that the berry at least agreed to go out with him, but now he needed to figure out an actual day to take him somewhere. Where do I take him? The blunette thought, sitting on his couch as the Bombay jumped onto his lap, and when? Hmmm…I could take him to that place-what's it called? Soul Society…yeah…I heard that place isn't too shabby…Grimmjow grinned as an idea formed in his mind for the date he wanted to take the berry on. Pantera gave him a look that said, 'You're gonna make that poor man suffer, aren't you?'

Grimmjow barked a laugh at that, saying, "Yeah Pantera, I am gonna make him suffer…suffer fer about a week when I'm through wit him." The glimmer that went through the cat's eyes at those words made the man howl with laughter. Him and that cat were so much alike. Both of them were perverts and sadistic, but very relaxed with each other…when they wanted to be. The blunette yawned and looked at his cat, saying, "Okay, well…I guess it's about time fer bed, ne?" Pantera looked at him sleepily, nodding his head and jumping out of his master's lap, prowling towards the bedroom.

The blunette changed into shorts and crawled into bed, his feline friend hopping in as well. "G'night Pantera," Grimmjow yawned, relaxing his body and letting sleep claim him. Pantera merely mewed in response before he too, drifted off to sleep, noticing that his master had fallen asleep with a smile on his face, most likely dreaming of a certain Strawberry.
