Chapter Five: Decisions

"I know who did this…" Soi Fon stated carefully. She could see I was on edge and didn't want me to get more stressed. I was rather violent when I was stressed and the young assassin knew that all too well, she had seen me break my office desk in half after one very stressful meeting with some, idiot gang members who just wouldn't get what I was saying.

Taking a deep breath I nodded for her to continue and tell me who stupid bastards were that attacked my little sister and Ichigo. "It was the Hollows sir. It would seem that they may have gone after Nel in an attempt to force you into a confrontation." The lithe assassin explained, giving her own hypothesis as to why the growing gang would go after my sister. She was close but knowing who was behind the attempt, the real reason was to force me to rejoin them.

When I was seventeen I had been lead out of the hollows and set free from their leaders rule after a year. I had been a good fighter then and was a fair better one now, so now the Hollows leader was likely trying to use Nel to get me to come back to the hollows, now that he actually has a tool; Nel to use to do it. Before there was really nothing the bastard could use to get me to return after someone got me out of the warehouse that night.

"I don't believe that's it. The hollows likely want to use Nel to force me to rejoin them, now that she's available for them to use." I paused for a second letting that information sink into the minds of the two women. Soi Fon seemed shocked by the new information, that I had been a member of the Hollows but it didn't last long as she simply accepted that it was a part of my past and waited for me to continue talking. While Shearia seemed to except the new information without a second thought, though I guess that was just like her, nothing really caught her be surprise, in terms of information anyway. "I don't think it's safe for Nel to be staying at the house without me there anymore. I think it would be best for her to stay at the office where if something happens any one of my employees could make sure nothing happens, if for some reason I can't get to her in time." I sipped my tea and waited for Shearia or Soi Fon to say something, though the former was the one who was most likely to say something.

"Sounds like a plan. Though you are welcome to leave her in my care if that would work better for you Grimm." Shearia offered, as I knew she would.

I shook my head. "No I'd prefer her to stay at the office and I'll have Ichigo take care of her while she's there too, so she has someone to play with." Shearia nodded. Her face was oddly serious like she had something on her mind but I shrugged it off as an effect of the nights events. "Thanks for finding out that information Soi Fon, you can leave now there is something I would like to discus with Shearia privately." With a curt nod the blacked haired woman was off leaving me and Shearia alone at the bar.

"So what is it that you want to discus Grimm?" She inquired, leaning forward to place her elbows on the bar top as she bent at the waist so the position was more comfortable. Blue eyes starred into mine waiting patiently for me to answer her question.

"What happened to Ichigo the other night?" With a sad sigh Shearia took a sip from my tea and leaned back against the back bar cabinets. She obviously didn't want to tell me, but she was going to have to weather she liked it or not.

"I think you'd better ask him but I don't think he'd tell you anything. He wouldn't want to trouble anyone with it who wasn't involved…" She sighed again when I simply waited for her to tell me what I wanted to know. "And that's why you came to me…alright." She paused again as if what she had to say was going to be difficult for her. Whatever happened must have affected her greatly too, not just Ichigo. "Last night a new V.I.P member, who had cleared all of my requirements, injured and abused one of our Females here and Ichigo who had his shift up there after her was next to become his victim. He pinned Ichigo and took him dry. He beat and cut the poor boy up before I realized something was wrong when the girl didn't come down to have something to drink after her shift like she was supposed to. By the time I had made it half way up the stairs I heard Ichigo scream for me to help him and I burst into the room. Ichigo was treated by Unohona and the man was thoroughly punished for his actions and left a few blocks down blooded in the street. " On the last sentence a small grin played across Shearia's face before disappearing again. I was furious. Who would dare do such a thing? The fact that it was Ichigo just made me even more angry. But...Shearia could be a real sick bitch when she was pissed and she damn well enjoy punishing those who deserved it and this guy fucking did and if it wasn't Shearia who had punished the bastard I would have demanded to beat the shit out of the guy myself. But whatever she did had likely been far worse than anything I could dish out. As much as I hated to admit it Shearia was far more creative with her punishments than I was.

"I have given him two weeks off to recover from it but I think I'll up it to three because of how his leg is. I'll be paying him for his shifts still of course but for now he needs to take it easy and heal." I nodded in agreement before lightly flicking her in the forehand.

"Stop being so serious it's freaking me out. Cheer up things will be fine." I chuckled trying to lighten the sour mood, it was just making me worry. I needed Shearia to be all Hyper to take my mind off things for a little bit, even if it was just a few minutes so I could calm down some more. I could still see my hands shaking from the panic and rage I was in earlier.

"Is that so? Well then stop your hands from shaking Grimm." She teased flicking me in the forehead, getting a growl from me. "Don't growl at me. You just did that to me so I returned the favour."

"Bitch…" I hissed, but I couldn't stop the smile that snuck onto my face. No clue how but this little spats of ours always cheered me up, even if just a little bit.

"Was there anything else Grimm? Cuz' you should problem go check on your sister and Ichigo." Shearia asked as she sipped at my tea again.

"Get your own tea bitch, and yeah. Keep Ichigo on the first floor when you or I aren't up in the V.I.P. room. Okay?" I said finishing off the tea and standing up, waiting for a response from the woman.

"Awww how cute, big bad Grimmy is worried about my pretty little hacker." She coed, taunting me before stating more seriously. "I'll do that, when he gets back to work in three weeks." With one final nod I left the bar heading back to the room Ichigo was resting in.

Meanwhile in Unohona's Office

Ichigo's point of view

My eyes flutter open and slowly they adjust to the white lights overhead. I glance around looking for Nel but can't find her anywhere. Panic wells in my chest and I rash from the bed and out the door, into the hall only to run head first into the purple haired lady from the alley. My eyes widen and I back pedal towards the door but end up backing past it instead. 'Shit! This woman killed four men! I have to get away from her. But to where!? Shit! Shit! Shit!'

"Ichigo please calm down. I'm not going to hurt y-"

"Like hell you won't." I screamed, continuing to back away from the woman.

Grimmjow's point of view

As I headed back towards Unahona's office the woman was headed down the hall towards me. "Ah Grimmjow I was just looking for you. Ichigo is sleeping now and I thought it best to let you know that he is fine. His injuries where nothing serious and the bullet missed bone so the wound should heal quickly. He should be good as new in about a week. Just try to keep him off his fe-" A scream broke through Unahona's explanation of Ichigo's injures and both the doctor and I started sprinting down the hall towards the source.

When we turned the corner into the hall where Unohona's office was we spotted Yuroichi pinning Ichigo to the ground with her knees on his thighs and hands pinning his hands above his head greeted us. "Ichigo just let me explain. I'm not going to hurt you. Stop struggling so I can explain damn it. If you keep trying get away you're going to reopen your wounds. Stupid boy!" The assassin growled in frustration as the man continued to struggle.

"Having some trouble there Yuroichi?" I teased finding the situation rather comical as Ichigo's eyes widened once he realized I was addressing his "attacker" like a friend. "Ichigo quite struggling and she'll get off. She saved you, she isn't going to hurt you. Her and Soi Fon both work for me."

"They work for you!? But I saw them kill those guys! Why the hell would they be working for you!" Ichigo screamed still struggling under the master assassin.

I blinked at him. I could have sworn he knew I was involved in the underworld, so why the heck was this so unbelievable. "Ichigo, I told you Grimmjow is like me with ties to gangs and all that so having two assassins working for him isn't that odd. Calm down, your freaking out and it's making you not think clearly." Shearia ordered from behind me. Guess she followed after me without me noticing. Damn she walked quiet.

Almost instantly Ichigo closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths getting a hold of himself. "Better?" She asked raising a brow at the now still male.

"Yeah, sorry. I woke up and Nel wasn't anywhere in sight so I panicked than run into her and the last thing I saw her do was kill someone." He explained and nodded to Yuroichi to let her know she could get off of him.

"Understandable." Yuroichi stated as she got up off Ichigo and helped him to his feet.

"Ichigo." I called getting his attention.

"Yes?"

"You'll be taking care of Nel at my Office from now on I don't want to risk another incident like this again." He nodded, not arguing with me, which was good because he wouldn't win. "Shearia is giving you three weeks' time off to recover with pay so you aren't to go to Nishikata Byakko" Another nod. "Alight, now go rest. Nel is with Soi Fon for the time being. So she's fine." Yet another nod. 'Why was he being so quiet all of a sudden. ' I thought as he walked back into Unahona's office.

Somewhere else

A dark laugh rang through the dark office as a man laughed. "So those idiots died. I told them to be careful about it but they didn't listen. Guess I'll have to send you… my precious…." Another dark chuckle sounded, as a pale shadow stepped out from a dark corner to heed its masters wishes.
