Hey guys! Okay, so those of you following my story, Kidnappings and Love, may have noticed the...uh...announcement I made not even an hour ago. Those of you that didn't, you should go check.

Anyways, I realized I'm an idiot. Out of all the stories I've read, not once have I noticed the DISLCAIMER! Therefore, I keep forgetting to put mine up. So, here it is.

If I owned bleach, Grimm and Ichi would be married, as would Nnoitra and Shinji, and Kenpachi and Urahara would be too. And Byakuya wouldn't have a pole shoved so far up his ass. ;D

Ichigo

When we arrived at our new home, we were shocked. I had to give it to him – my dad had done good.

3 bedrooms - each with a closet, full-sized bed, and a desk - 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, a living / dining area, a pantry, a giant flat-screen in the living room along with a surround sound system, and two mustangs in the down stairs garage, one sleek black (mine) and the other a black one with pink racing stripes (Shinji's) and, since Chad didn't drive, he didn't have one. Needless to say, my father still had friends in the area.

As I was unpacking, my phone rang with an 'unknown' number. The area code was in my area, so, guessing it was Grimmjow, I answered.

"Hello?" I asked. "Yo! S'this tha Ichi-berry Grimm's always –shit!" the man yelled as I heard a loud bang in the background. I heard a further off yell and the man on the other end started speaking again. "Sorry. So, anyways. 'You the one he's always goin' on 'bout?" I was quiet through-out the whole ordeal. "Umm…I-I just…yes?" I choked out. "Hey! Great ta know yer real. Fer a while there, we all thought you Grimm's imaginary friend. Sorry I couldn't be at the airport. I had some business to attend to. So tell me 'bout yerself." I was stunned. Did I tell this man what he wanted to know? Did I hang up? I ended up choosing the safe route. "What's your name, mister?" I heard a door open, some muffled, angry shouting in the background, and a door slammed. The man chuckled over the line. "Ma name's Gin Ichimaru. I'm one a' Grimmy's bestest friends! I think he likes you better, though. I like to cause him trouble." I laughed at his mock- innocent tone. As I was going to comment that the two of us used to cause trouble, too, I heard a loud pounding on what I supposed was a door.

By now, I had picked up that 'Gin' had been running from someone and was now hiding in a closet of sorts. I guess the person he'd been running from was now the one pounding on the door.

"ICHIMARU! YOU GIVE THAT GODDAMNED PHONE BACK RIGHT NOW! I SWEAR IF YOU'RE CALLING SOMEONE IMPORTANT AGAIN, YOU WON'T LIVE TO SEE TOMORROW!" the angry voice from earlier yelled as the banging on the door continued. That angry voice was Grimmjow.

"Um…excuse me, Mr. Gin, but you don't happen to be calling from Grimmjow's phone, do you?" I heard Gin chuckle. "Why, yes. Yes, I do." I then listened as he chuckled again, a very creepy sound, and whined in a mock-pouty tone, "Well, Grimmy. I do hope ya don' count this sweet Ichi-Berry I'm talkin' to as important. That would mean I'm breakin' yer rules again." The banging stopped for a few moments before it started up again, harder than before.

"ICHI! I'M SO SORRY YOU HAVE TO TALK TO THAT BASTARD! AND, YES, GIN! YOU SHOULD KNOW I OBVIOUSLY COUNT HIM AS IMPORTANT! GIVE ME THE PHONE!" Grimmjow now sounded desperate. "Mr. Gin? Could you hand the phone to Grimmjow? I'd like to talk to him. But, I promise I'll talk to you sometime too, okay?" I said in a sweet tone before bursting into a fit of giggles when I heard the man stutter, "Uh…uh…y-yeah. Sh-sure." I listened as a lock clicked and Grimmjow stopped banging. The door was ripped open and the phone snatched from Gin's hand.

"Sorry, Ichigo. He just-." I cut him off with a laugh. "No, Grimm. It's fine. He was actually really sweet. Just wanted to know about me, my name and such. Even told me he was sorry he couldn't make it to the airport. Though…I don't think he knew you didn't know I was coming back." I giggled again. "It was funny listening to you play chase."

Before he could respond, there was a knock on my door before Chad poked his head in. "Ichigo?" I looked over and smiled. "Hold on Grimm." I put a hand over the speaker. "Yes Chad?" He opened the door and stepped in. "I'm going to explore the area, so I'm leaving Shinji with you. Is that okay?" I nodded and he quietly stepped out of the room again. "Sorry, that was Chad. Anyways, as you were saying-."

ICHIIIIIIIIII!" I heard Shinji yell as he came barreling down the hall. He slammed the (already open) door into the wall and launched himself onto my bed. "ICHI! Who ya talkin' to? Can I talk? Ichi! I wanna go out! Chad's gone! C'mon! Ichi, can we go see tha' blue-headed friend 'a yers? I wanna talk to his friend! Ya know, the tall, dark headed one! The one with the bandana! He's so hot! I think I'm in love! I mean, didja see his grin? C'mon! Let's go see tha' friend 'a yers and ask him where that sexy hottie is! Please, Ichi?" Shinji finally stopped his ranting and just sat staring at me. I sighed, giving in.

"Hey, Grimm? You heard all that, right?" I asked. "Yeah. I think he was talking about Nnoitra." I sighed again. "Do you think we could meet up in the old park we used to play in? And could you bring Nnoitra with you?" Grimmjow laughed. "Sure, Ichi-berry. When do you wanna meet up?" I looked at my watch – 3:30. "How about four?" I could just hear the grin on his face. "Sure," he told me. "see ya then!"

Thanks for reading! Love you all!
