Ever so slightly then, a new figure rose up to challenge me. His bright blue hair flickered dangerously in the light as he somewhat smirked\somewhat glared at me.

"Try me."

~Suffering Comes In Many Forms ch2~

I cocked my head to the side, my narrowed gaze zeroed in on the strong form that challenged me on. Grimmjow was acting weird today. Yes, he was an arrogant bastard, but…still. He could tell the other wanted, or needed, this fight, I just didn't know why.

Figures.

Shinji suddenly whooped out of nowhere and cheered, grinning his….awkward piano grin while patting down on my shoulder. I shook it off with a raised eyebrow as he gave me 'that' look, the one that knew it all. I blushed. Shit, I hate when shinji likes to point things out like I don't already know this. And besides, I was sure most of the people I knew well already figured out my obsession, all but….shiro, I guess. Grimmjow didn't count, because I didn't think he knew, and I also wasn't close to him at all. Shiro was just an idiot.

"Ya gonna come at me, or are ya gonna stand there like a fuckin' idiot?" the other sneered, his blue hair flowing along with the breeze. I raised a delicate eyebrow at his antics, my off-shade brown eyes flickering dangerously as I saw a few stiffen from the corner of my eye. I ignored it.

"Inpatient little shit, aren't you?" I muttered humorously to myself. Well, at least, he was better than Luppi, that little piece of crap thought he had a piece of me. Guy wanted me to fuck him yes, but sorry honey, I play for the Uke side. Shocker, I know. Like, 'whats a gang affiliated guy doing as bottoms?' well, to be honest, I love being dominated. Maybe that was why I was obsessed with grimmjow.

"You know it." Grimmjow smirked ruefully as he charged at me. He was quick, I'll give him that, and he had power and skill behind his fighting style, but I was trained by yoruichi and urahura kisuke. Sorry, man, but that just doesn't end up well when you're trained by two people of mass destruction. I was their weapon now, too, since I personally beat the shit out of them two a while back. My dad was so proud of me. (trust me, it didn't go unnoticed.)

He threw a punch to my side, which I let him have, followed by a kick to the ankle. I wasn't going easy on him, no, but I was going to let him have a couple of boosters to push up his ego. Like he needed it. I then kicked him in a roundhouse motion across the neck, his body jerking to the side as I fell gracefully to my feet. He then blocked a few more punches I threw, and likewise for me.

(Sorry, don't like fighting scenes too much Dx hard to do)

About fifteen minutes later, grimmjow was pinned to the ground by me, both of us panting as our muscles were strained. After a glance into his wavering eyes, I blushed slightly and rolled off of him, standing up feebly. I regained my balance just as quickly, and raised an eyebrow to grimmjows gang. "Why is he a rank of six?" I asked stark. Sure, he wasn't as strong as stark, (which I could also beat) but he was stronger than anyone else there. I should know, I fought them all.

"We needed a replacement for luppi, and I can't just go out and ruin the whole class status we have, so I just replaced him. You should be glad I kicked luppi out." Stark explained to him. Ichigo nodded and shook his head.

Before ichigo could talk, nnoitra cut in. "the lil' shit was all up yo ass. Thinkin' he was gonna get fucked by ya any time soon, what a damn idiot…" this made ichigo cackle as he grinned at the taken man.

"What, jealous?" he teased nnoitra. Kensei was smirking from the side of him.

"Oh, you know it, Ichi…" nnoitra husked, teasing his boyfriend without looking at him. Kensei bristled. Ah, idiot. He fell right into the trap.

"Nnoitra….get your fucking ass over here right now before I personally beat the shit out of your ass." He told the other, moving forward to yank the tall guy by him.

"But I want so many things done to my ass, ken, and you know them all." Nnoitra smirked as he nibbled on the other.

"TMI, Nnoi." I muttered, moving away from the cheesy couple. I then cracked my neck again. "Well, nice seein' ya all, but I gotta get ta my home, ne? See ya later, and Shiro, get your bleeding ass over here!" as I yanked shiro up off the ground, I moved to turn. Just before I did, I caught grimmjows gaze again, this time trained on me, and blushed again. With an in-furious huff of air, I turned away just barely catching something that flickered in his eyes. Humor? I couldn't tell. Anyway, I let me cheeks flare again, before I proceeded out of the alley with shiro in my hands.

As soon as I left the alley, I let shiro go. He stood on his own, for once, a serious look on his face. "Ya like grimmjow, don't ya?" he stated out to me as we walked almost silently back towards our house. I bristled.

"And if I do? Are you going to stop me now, too?" I hissed, turning my head to the side as I spit on the ground. My hands found my pockets as I was looking away.

"nah. He aint too bad fer a kitty." Shiro chuckled, still not meeting my eyes as I looked at him. "To be honest, I think he needs it." I furrowed my eyebrow at that. Why would he need it? Grimmjow didn't even seem like he liked me at all, let alone like that. I must creep him out as much as I stare at him. I really do have a hopeless obsession.

"Why?"

I found myself stopping when shiro didn't give me an answer. Shiro stopped also when he noticed I wasn't following him, and turned to me with a delicate smile. "Since you seem to already know his life story, I just think he needs something to lift him up. Stalker." Shiro snorted an afterthought, making me hiss like a dog growing shackles of defense.

"Oh shut up." I said. "I doubt I know shit about his life. Can't even place how many let downs he had in his life." I muttered as I looked up, facing the moon as another breeze left the air. Talk about cliché.

"Not like you're too far off." Shiro muttered, also, under his breath. I sighed. He wasn't going to understand. Sure, Ive had a few let downs in my own life, but nothing compared to grimmjow.

"Don't say anything else." I growled as we neared our home. Outside, our dad was looking at us expectedly, making me flinch. I was annoyed urahura told him about my gang affiliations.

"Took you long enough." My dad stated, for once calm as he smirked as us. Shiro rolled his eyes.

"Come on old man, you're getting too old for this shit. Get yer fat ass to bed, ya idiot." I snickered, along with shiro as our dad gawked at us. He then smiled and opened the door for us.

"come on kids, I got something to talk to you about."
