Chapter 1-

September 2011

"Here lays Isshin Kurosaki, he will not be forgotten." The funeral comes to a closing. With the chilled air around them everyone begins to exit the cemetery except for three kids and one teen. Yuzu had been crying on and off since she woke up this morning, her usual warm smile was hidden by her every cry and sob. Karen tried to keep up her strong appearance but would let lose a silent tear every now and then. Ichigo stayed strong in front of his baby sisters, he had already cried enough at the hospital that day. Nel stood behind Ichigo watching over everything silently. She didn't really get to meet the older man but see everyone else so sad made her depressed.

They all stood in front of the now joined burial site of Isshin and Masaki Kurosaki. Yuzu sat on her knees in front of them crying into Ichigo's handkerchief and Karen beside her wearing a frown and trying her hardest not to cry. Walking up behind them Ichigo wraps his arms around his sisters and pulls them into a tight embrace. "Dad wanted me to tell you . . . he's sorry and he loves you very much." Karen tough exterior cracks and clutches onto her brother as she cries into his shoulder with Yuzu on the opposite.

"Come on guys, if we stay out here to long we'll all catch a cold." Ichigo lifts Karen into his left arm and Yuzu into his right to carry them towards the exit with the silent Nel trailing behind. Once he got everyone outside the gate Ichigo turned around on last time to look at the engraved stone. "Goodbye . . . Dad."

"After the ceremony we have homeroom and then get to go home. You want me to show you around Grimmy-kun." The blunette growled at the nickname but continued to his assigned homeroom with Shinji. They had known each other for years but because of Edgar Jeagerjaques, Grimmjow's father, they had to move to Tokyo until his job transferred him back.

"If it wasn't you, I would have beaten you into the ground."

"Aw that's not very nice Grim and- " Shinji was about to go on until he was interrupted when a slim arm worked its way around his shoulder.

"Hey babe, who this?" I tall, lengthy guy with black hair asked. He was about 6'5 taller than Grimmjow's 6'2. He wore a wide piano toothy grin and a black bandana over his left eye. Grimmjow wasn't bothered by the fact that his childhood was gay, in fact he was gay himself. Just didn't make it as known.

"Ohh Nnoitra, his is my childhood friend Grimmjow. He just moved back into town. Grimmjow this is my boyfriend Nnoitra." Shinji said quite happily. They were all gathered in their homeroom waiting on their sensei.

"Okay everyone please take your seats! I'm your homeroom teacher, Urahara Kisuke." A man stood in the front of the class where the most ridiculous outfit. On top of his lift blonde hair was a bucket hat that had green and white stripes. On top of his grey dress shirt he wore a green robe with tan khaki pants. Upon his feet he wore traditional Japanese wooden clogs, to say the guy was weird would be an understatement.

"Okay, I'm starting roll call so please listen for your name." Grimmjow couldn't help but notice the little white fan he pulled out to cover his face as he started roll.

September 8, 2011

"Breakfast is ready! Hurry up you too you'll be late for school." Ichigo laid the food out across the table as Yuzu and Karen entered the kitchen. "Eat up before you leave. I don't want you to miss your first day."

"Thank you for the meal Oni-chan." Yuzu gave a warm smile to her brother before starting to eat.

"Thanks for the meal Ichi-nii." Karen mumbles between bites.

"Your lunch is on the counter, make sure to grab it before you leave." Ichigo went upstairs to take a quick shower and put on his uniform when he remembered something. "Where's Nel?"

"Right here Itsygo!" said teen turns in time to catch the Nel before she can head but him in the stomach.

"Nel, sit down and eat, okay." After sitting Nel down in her seat at the table Ichigo makes his way upstairs. Ten minutes later Ichigo stands downstairs saying goodbye to his two younger sisters with Nel. "Come on Nel, your starting school today as well." Nel opened up her arms to Ichigo indicating she wanted to be picked up. With a tired sigh the orange haired teen leaned down and scooped up the giggling Nel. After double checking that he had everything, Ichigo locks up the house and heads towards the local elementary school.

"Go faster Itsygo!" Nel cheered to the older teen. To emphasize her point she wiggled in his arm until his grip on her tightened and his scowl deepened.

"Nel! If you keep that up I'll end up dropping you! The school's around the corner okay." Ichigo was extremely tired. He had picked up as many shifts as he could lately to pay off his father's hospital bills and the funeral arrangements. On top of that he had been filling out form after form for Nel's adoption and school forms. She had become very attached to Ichigo and after he heard her story he couldn't turn her away.

To say he was tired would be a lie, he was exhausted. He still had to drop off Nel and sign a few more formers. Once he was down with that he had to drop by the high school to learn his classes and such. I'm so looking forward to that.

September 2011

"God he's so late! I wonder if he's gonna bother showing?"

"Well babe, why don't you text him if you're so worried?" Nnoitra offered to his distressed boyfriend. Without another word said boy pulled out his phone and stepped away to call his friend.

"Who ya talkin' 'bout?" Grimmjow had been there the whole time but his curiosity had finally got the best of him.

"Shinji's friend. Kurosaki, he's in all our classes. But sometimes he doesn't show up to school and gets him all worked up."

"Well hurry up!" Shinji hung up the phone after that and returned to the two boys that waited to hear what was going on. "He said that he's on his way. Had to stop by the elementary school." Shinji gave a worried glance at the door before redirecting his gaze back on the two.

"So he really did adopt this little brat?" The red head from their homeroom approached the group. Grimmjow recognized him as Ren, Renjo, something like that. The guy was a little shorter than him, toned, and covered in tribal tattoos. But what stood out the most was his bright red hair he had tied back and a white bandana tied around his forehead. His hair reminds me off a pineapple.

"Renji, you know he would never turn away Nel." A short girl in their first period class added before she punched him hard on the arm. He responded with an 'ow' before rubbing his soon to be bruise. "How'd he sound?" she gave a cautious glance to Shinji and the rest of the group looked back a forth between the two.

"He was yelling so he shouldn't be that bad." Shinji went on to reinsure the group that was gathered at the back of the class room.

In the front of the class room one of the sliding doors opened to reveal the man that everyone had been so concerned about. "Kurosaki-kun!" A girl that had been standing next to Rukia shouted to the front of said teen. Everyone including Grimmjow turned to see a teen with bright orange hair come their way.

"Hi Inoue, yo Shin you got my stuff right?" Grimmjow was awe struck, the teen before him had loud orange hair that was messy and hung low over his neck like he had been growing it out. His body that stood at about 5'9 was covered from head to toe in sun kissed, tan skin. He wore the school white dress shirt tucked in, and from what Grimmjow could tell was a well toned body underneath. His build wasn't overly muscular but lithe and well toned. Mile long legs were covered with the tan khaki pants (ordered by the school). But what had Grimmjow drooling at the mouth were those deep orchard auburn colored eyes that drew you in.

Overall the kid was gorgeous. "Umm, who's this?" that deep but soothing voice made Grimmjow suppress a sudden shudder. Ichigo had noticed the blunette openly looking him up and down and decided to figure out who the new guy was.

"Hey names' Grimmjow Jeagerjaques. And you are?" The blue haired teen stood to make him known to the little hottie.

"Kurosaki, Kurosaki Ichigo." Ichigo stated matter-of-factly. Strawberry hmm, suits him nicely. Ichigo stated down the blunette daring him to crack a joke about his name.

"Nice 'ta meet ya, Ichigo." Grimmjow liked the seductive way the berry's name rolled off his tongue. He held his hand out and gave a sly grin.

"Uhmm , same." Ichigo gave a quick hand shake to Grimmjow before returning his attention back to the group. Shinji was giving him a pouty glare, his boyfriend was grinning back at Grimmjow, and Renji was slightly chuckling to himself while Rukia and Inoue avoid his gaze with a faint blush on their cheeks. Ichigo questioningly looked at the group before deciding to settle on the pouting Shinji.

"What's up with you?"

"I'm just worried is all, are you sure your fine Ichigo?" Holding out the documents Ichigo needed, Shinji fixed him with a hard stare. The orange haired teen let out a sigh before grabbing his assignments.

"I'll be fine. I'm just a little tired. That's all." Ichigo gave a reassuring smile before making his way to his desk. The group (minus Grimmjow for not knowing what's going on) gave worried gazes to his retreating back as Urahara walked in. Just what the hell happened? Grimmjow thought as he looked at his orange haired berry staring out the window.

Thanks for the wait, and yes Ichigo sat in the seat next Grimmjow. I was in the car when I finished typing this so I hope it's good. I was so happy to read my reviews and see how many people followed this story.

Please keep reviewing !

I'll get up another chapter as soon as possible. ( :
