Ichigo Pov

I'm sitting on the floor of the shower with me knees towards my chest, the water that's falling on me is welcoming and yet why do I still sob?

I'm sobbing as I rock myself back and forth, I feel insecure, scared and yet I just want to die.

Water mixed with blood slowly runs down the drain, I don't want to stand up; I just want to lie down and die.

In my mind I'm still reliving the nightmare over and over again, the event feels so real that the welcoming water has no meaning.


Grimmjow Pov

I'm walking back and forth like a caged animal, I'm pissed as fuck even though I got back at that so what Shiro calls an illiterate ass-licking swine! The image was still fresh in my mind, I can remember every detail, including scent, color and...

"He's still in the shower..." Shiro said startling me from my thoughts.

"Did he say anything to you?" I ask.

Shiro shook his head and Mr. Urahara walked on passed us, he had no clue about the whole situation and yet we were all a bit uneasy about telling him.

I'm not sure what Ichi is hiding, however none of us want him to get into trouble; for all we know he could of been into gangs or drugs or something like that.

We were all staying over, Nnoitra was already asleep next to Renji on the couch and Szayel was doing some crazy research on the berry.

"He's either stuck in shock or he could be traumatized by what had happened." Shiro continued as he leaned against the wall.

What had happened? Who wouldn't go mad at what had happened...?


Flash back

Kicking the door down a startled shriek filled my ears.

My eyes widened and my heart pounded losing beat with every second at the twisted nightmarish vision.

Anger... rage... destruction slowly built up inside me.

"YOU PUTRID BITCH!" I suddenly yelled releasing my furry all at once.

I can't even explain the situation without making myself sick; cameras were everywhere, rotting drug-hording rapist were all around the room alongside a couple of hoes who were just there for the photos, however that wasn't what set me off.

Chained to a queen sized bed with several guys taking advantage of him was no other that Ichigo Kurosaki, he stared at me with wide scared eyes before his broken voice cried out to me.

"Please... make them stop!" his broken voice barely shouted.

I lost it, the first guy that was in front of me suddenly slammed against the floor as I decked him. The second and third guy I made sure to grab one of them by his sacks and flip him onto the next guy.

Another guy took me from behind, but I managed to flip him over as well before mercilessly punching the crap out of him.

His body soon came at me to take advantage of the situation, however his face was crushed into the floor almost instantly. Shiro was an art in itself when it came to combat, no matter the situation he was always radiant as he moved and thrashed his enemies around.

Taking down the guy who was about to attack me, he literally spinned like a top hitting three guys at once before decking one of Shuhei's best friend/ body guard.

Marechiyo is almost 6'11'' and weighs over 150 kg and yet Shiro who I might add is about 5'9'' and weighs about 134 lbs last time I checked, had actually knocked the beast down to the ground.

I nodded towards him before running for Ichigo, Nnoitra on the other hand was enjoying himself as he beat the living day lights out of anybody that got into his way.

Reaching Ichigo, I quickly put my jacket over his naked frame before I tried fiddling with the chains. It needed a key and it was making me even more agitated.

"I didn't quit this time... I didn't stop fighting..." Ichigo suddenly sobbed in a hoarse yet broken tone.

I suddenly looked back at his beautiful flushed red face, his cheeks were still wet from crying and yet his large brilliant almond eyes held intelligence and mirth.

I didn't realize it, but at the moment we had been staring at each other for a while now until-

"Look out!" he screamed.

I turned and Shuhei hit me in the gut with his brass knuckles, I gasped as he knocked the air out of me. For a brief moment I couldn't breath and yet I could hear Ichigo's voice whimpering and begging for Shuhei to stop.

One punch came after another until I finally caught my balance and slammed my fist delivering a hook punch straight for his jaw. I grinned as it made contact, blood oozed down the sides of my mouth and yet I didn't give a damn.

Szayel suddenly slid beneath us in a dancing manner as he snatched the keys from Shuhei's pocket like a sly fox, saluting me he quickly went to unchain Ichigo.

Looking back at Shuhei, we both began to exchange fists and hits when suddenly a loud whine caught my attention; I lost concentration for a brief moment just in time to see everything go in slow-motion.

Marechiyo was up and crushing Shiro as he held him down, mean while his buddy was punching him in the gut.

"Shiro!" I suddenly screamed and was hit to the floor.

With both Shuhei and Iba on me, they began to beat me until my world started to spin. Renji almost instantly popped out of nowhere and jumped kicked Iba right into the face.

It looked worse that a marsh pit gone wrong, a kick to the face caused me to roll and push myself back onto my feet when the second guy was tackled by Nnoitra.

A gunshot caused all of us to stop and stare at the man holding the gun. Shuhei had blood all over his face, a black eye and a cut up lip as he pointed the gun at me.

One of the hoe's screamed and one of the emo bystanders with blonde hair gasped.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Back off Izuru, I'm doing business here." Shuhei said as I stand my ground.

"Put the gun down!" his friend begged, but Shuhei wasn't hearing it.

"You should listen to your friend Shuhei." Shiro suddenly wheezed out still in Marechiyo's grasps.

"Shut the fuck up or I'll kill you!" Shuhei yelled nervously as Shiro only grinned wider.

"I'd like to see things from your point of view, but I can't seem to get my head that far up my ass." Shiro retorted making me feel sick to my stomach.

He had a gun and yet it was as if Shiro had wanted him to shoot at him.

"What the fuck, are seriously going to try to get smart with me?" Shuhei asked shaking the gun around as he spoke.

"Am I getting smart with you? How would you know?" He shot back making Shuhei even more annoyed.

"Your a little fuck-ass-bitch, you know that you little fag; say one more thing just one more thing to piss me off and I'll blow your brains out!" Shuhei finally lost it getting ready with the trigger.

"Shiro!" I called out.

"Bang!" Shiro challenged.

"No!" I screamed when all of a sudden Shuhei was hit so hard to the side that the bullet had missed Shiro only by a hair and literally only cutting a few strains of hair.

Ichigo had hit Shuhei with a mallet, however it did not stop there; he hit him over and over and over again until blood was covering the floor.

I dashed for him, as much as he deserved death Ichigo did not deserve to go through jail nor did he deserve to live with the guilt that he had killed somebody.

Picking him up he squirmed violently as he screamed angrily like a wild animal.

Kugo suddenly came in alongside Ganju and an extra guest which made my bones shiver... My father.

He gave me a cold glance and then signaled me with his eyes to leave; I quickly nodded as my friends all began to move around people.

Shiro instantly head butted Marechiyo with the back of his own head causing him to release him before running after me. My dad stayed behind and no one dared to say or move while we left that room...

End Flash back.


I'm staring at the floor and Shiro soft hands massages my shoulders.

"You must really like him don't you?" Shiro suddenly asked making me glance up at him.

He seemed a bit uneasy and yet almost shy, deep down I really hope that he didn't see me staring.

"He's a really sweet guy once you get to know him." I say.

Shiro chuckles a bit before turning around to leave, I catch him by the wrist and he pauses.

"You know... That I will forever love you, right?" I asked and Shiro turns to look at me for a brief moment.

I pull him into a strong embrace and he lays his head on my chest; as radiant as he always looks, it really pains me to see him get hurt.

So far my father never called me to update me if I was grounded or not and yet almost all of us were pretty fine despite some bruises and light cuts and so we could of called it a success.

"Eureka!" Called out Szayel.

Me and Shiro almost instantly ran over, Shiro jumped on the couch waking up Nnoitra and Renji and I leaned against the wall.

"You all ready?" Szayel said.

"Just read it." I demanded.

"Ichigo Kurosaki has many many cases, his first case was when he was nine years old... apparently his mother had drowned in the river in attempt to save him." he said causing my eyes to bolt wide.

"Shit... that must've sucked..." Nnoitra said now a bit interested.

"It say's here that he was a very difficult student and that he was a delinquent since the fifth grade..." Szayel said slightly nerved by the stuff he was reading.

"We're do you get this crap?" Renji asked.

"Have you forgotten that MY father is the head of the police department? Why do you think Nnoitra's not in jail yet?" he said before looking back at his laptop.

"It says he has a really bad reputation for starting stuff and bullying younger kids? Well, he sure doesn't look like the type... oh how interesting..." he suddenly said making me raise my eyebrow.

"What?" I asked.

"It says here that he shows symptoms of either a catalyst or schizophrenia, it also mentions that the tale of Kaien Shiba had a repeat of history with his family causing the death of his two younger sisters..." He continued making my jaw drop.

"That's just sad..." Renji said looking quite sympathetic.

"He endured rehab for a while and then... Hey this is the same school Shuhei used to attend, I remember it because of that soccer game." Szayel said showing the boys the picture.

"Holy shit, your right!" I responded shocked at the info.

Shiro suddenly stood up and walked away without saying a word, I just watch him and look back and Szayel.

"Oh my goodness... It says here that Ichigo Kurosaki suffered from Cyberbulling and was also bullied from his whole school for sleeping with another Rangiku Matsumoto's boyfriend Shuhei Hisagi."

"Damn I used to know that girl, shit that is just plane crazy." Renji said getting closer.

"The angry riot left the boy in a ditch and police nor his father could find him... it wasn't until a soccer championship game in which Shihiro Urahara the opposing teams leader found the boy... that... Shiro?" Szayel said looking up from reading.

I also stared and looked back to see no one there...


Ichigo Pov

I feel so numb now, I don't want to move, I don't want to talk, I don't want to live any longer...

The door opens and I ignore the person who steps in.

"I brought you some towels..." Shiro said as he laid them nicely on the side.

I say nothing, hugging my knees I just continue to rock myself. The room goes silence and I close my eyes embracing the silence.

Tears drop down my face and I try not to whimper as I try to breath.

A warm body presses against my own, my eyes snap open wide and I feel thin arms wrap around me surrounding me in a mist of Daisy Eau de Parfum a scent my mother used to have.

My face flushes even brighter as I realize what he was doing.

He still had clothes on and yet despite my nudity I found nothing but warmth and care, it was almost brotherly and I loved it. He was hugging me from behind and yet his cold face stuck out from the base of my neck.

"I'm sorry..." he whispered. "I'm so sorry..."

More tears fell down my face and I immediately turned and embraced him, I cried and I cried like I have never done before. Bawling like a lost child, he kept me in his arms even though he was getting soaked.

"It's not fair, it's not fair!" I cried over and over again.

"Shh... it's soon to be over..." he said.

I didn't know what he meant by that, but at the time I didn't care; I was so scared and I thought that I was going to die and then I really wished I had and now I... I don't know what I want anymore...

Bawling and screaming, he held me close causing me to slightly whimper.

"I'll protect you... I promise." he soon whispered in my ear and I can hear a door close.

I don't know who it was, but at the time I didn't care.


Folding my arms I'm pouting like a little kid as my scowl deepens.

"What?" I ask in annoyance.

"Well My angry little souvenir, seeing as though your father wont be home for some time and seeing as though you have no relatives around. I'm going to have to keep you here for a while." Kisuke said fanning himself in amusement.

"And what if I say no." I asked stubbornly as I raise an eyebrow.

"Simple I'll make you." said Shiro with a wide grin.

I turn my face not wanting to make contact with the albino, already I feel embarrassed as can be with the event that occurred earlier and him just acting natural makes me even more nervous.

"Let me guess, I'm getting the couch then huh?" Grimmjow questions and I slightly blush.

This is just perfect, I'm stuck in a house with my home-coming teacher, the guy who saved my life and my crush; what could get any worse.

"Actually, Ichi's getting my room. I'm getting the couch and you get the floor." Shiro pointed out causing Grimmjow to slightly chuckle.

To be honest I feel speechless, but I am way too shy to show it. Kisuke pats me on the back and I glare at him as he smiles.

"Well hows about some dinner?" Kisuke asks

I suddenly feel that my stomach had ate my stomach, if that had even made sense. I was so hungry that I could have eaten everyone's share combined.

I quickly followed him to the kitchen, Szayel, Nnoitra and Renji were all gone.

The table was set up with four plates, we were eating general tso chicken with pork fried rice. It smelt delicious, I uneasily stood there and waited to be seated.

Kisuke politely pulled out my chair and I sat down feeling much more submissive that I was before. I slightly noticed Grimmjow do the same to Shiro, but I didn't pay too much attention for I really felt as though I was about to pass out.

"Go on, go on; dig in until your hearts content." He said and I complied.

It tasted so good, I just swallowed everything as if it was nothing; in the end I felt a bit embarrassed because I finished a lot faster than they could get started.

Shiro chuckled and poured more food in my plate without asking. Grimmjow was just quiet and Kisuke whacked him with his fan.

"As my papa said, dig in until your hearts content." Shiro said with an amused grin on his face, causing me to slightly flush out of embarrassment.


Sitting on Shiro's bed wearing Shiro's bed clothes, I feel a bit awkward. I don't know why these guys are helping me and yet I am truly grateful.

My face flushes as I feel how soft the cushions are, I can't believe this is how a real bed actually feels like. His room smells just like him... just like my moms.

I'm stuffed, I'm clean and now for the first time in a long time I really feel loved. I wished this really was my room, that this really was my clothes, that my father was his father... I would have been so much happier.

As my eyes clothes, I slowly drip off into a deep and calming sleep.

'I'll protect you... I promise.'


Grimmjow pov

I lay the futon down on the living room floor as Shiro is laying down stomach first reading a book on the couch. I smirk a bit as I smack his soft ass and he hits me back in the leg.

"Ouch, asshole." I insult.

"Dickhead." he muses as he chuckles again.

We were both in the living room and yet it so provoked me to do other inappropriate things to him. Bending down I kiss his neck and he groans giving me more access as he turns to face me.

His skin is so soft and luscious that I wanted to drool all over him. Laying on top of him, his breathing increased and I began to kiss down lower towards the base of his necks bone.

His groaning quickly turned to pants and he slightly mewed when my fingers played with his nipples, his body slightly bucked and we grinded against each other.

"Oh Grimmjow... huh... uh..." he breathed out breathlessly.

I almost instantly went for his pants however what he said next made me panic.

"I can't... I can't... breath..." he said already worn out.

I quickly stopped in my tracks and got off of him, giving him space to breath.

He coughs a bit and then pants as he tries to regulate his own breathing.

"I'm sorry." I say feeling terrible.

I really didn't mean to crush him.

"It's not you... It's alright." Shiro says as he stands up and walks into the kitchen.

I sit down on the couch feeling frustrated with myself, Shiro always tried to find a way to please me and yet I always seem to screw it up when I try to please him.

My eyes close and I can feel a light weight upon me, sitting on my lap. My eyes snap open and I see Shiro with a wide grin on his face.

"It will hurt a bit more if we do it this way, however..." Shiro whispered in my ear before slightly licking my ear. "If your not pressing against my chest at least I can breath." he continued causing me to chuckle.

"What, your gonna give me a lap dance?" I ask him.

With a flicker of the lights and his gold eyes glowing, I can see him smirk even in the darkness.
