Chapter 2 : Hot Tempered

By the time the sun had set into the mountains of the home town of Karakura, Ren had finally finished her laundry & began to fold them into her dresser, smiling & humming as she did so, until she heard a knock on her bedroom, & turned away from her piles of scented clothing.

"Hai?"

The door slowly opened to reveal Tessai, giving her a bit of a frown, "Pardon my intrusion, but Urahara-Sama would like to give you some other news that he may have forgotten to mention."

She cocked a brow at him & sighed frustrated, already knowing what was going to happen & scoffed at him hunching her back in disbelief.

"You've got to be kidding me!"

"I'm afraid not Ms. Shinju. Kisuke wants Grimmjow to stay in here for the time being until they can get the other rooms ready, since Renji won't stop complaining about him having to deal with the new comer." Her brows slanted with sadness.

She was being really patient, but this new idea of Kisuke's was becoming insanely asinine. "I'm only doing this because I have no choice EITHER!" She sighed in defeat.

"Bring him in."

Tessai bowed his head & smiled softly at her, "I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you."

With that comment, it was hard to stay mad, in the end Ren could only smile at Tessai & bowed her head, "It's no trouble, just tell Kisuke he owes me two favors for the crap he's put me through today."

Tessai understood & chuckled before letting the Espada into her white canopied covered room.

When he was actually in the room, her back turned to him not hearing a sound from the new arrancar.

"You can sit on the bed for now until we can figure out an arrangement, until then be quiet, don't bother me, & let me finish. I'd really appreciate it."

The blue haired man growled at her muttering something like a 'whatever' under his breath before laying back on Ren's black satin sheets with his hands behind his head.

She wasn't really paying attention after that, but Ren could already feel his eyes on her, studying her from afar before he turned his gaze up at the ceiling.

It was getting way too quiet in the room now, so much so, that Ren had to at least try to welcome the new comer. It probably wasn't easy being in a place that he wasn't use to, so Ren finally looked back at him from her half folded laundry & smiled at him.

"So, Los Noches eh? That's where you're from?"

There was silence from the Arrancar, "Not a big talker eh? That's okay, when I first came here I was quiet myself. I'm not from around here, you know? Nope, came from Los Noches myself. East side of Los Noches at least. Boy, I use to get myself into a lot of trouble back then, but I'm sure you don't want to hear about that. Sorry, if I'm talking too much just let me know. I'm just trying to keep the mood elevated…"

Ren felt a little silly talking to someone who obviously didn't want to talk to her, but it was better than being like everyone else & thinking of him as an enemy, just like everyone use to treat her when she first arrived in the Living World.

"Do you always make small talk with people you don't know?" He asked in rather gruff & annoyed voice, which made Ren look back at him, a little surprise to hear him for the first.

Well, we know he's not a mute…

Ren smiled at the thought, but smiled even wider at the Arrancar who only glared back at her.

"Yeah, I guess you could say that. Only the people that aren't afraid of me, you know?"

He growled silently to himself before looking back up at the ceiling, "This is retarded..."

Ren looked back at him, again from her laundry that was now completed, "What is?"

"This...Stupid judgment, maybe I should have just let them kill me."

"And give up so easily? That's not the way of an Arrancar." Was all she could replied before silence took over them again.

With that, Ren closed all her drawers & grabbed one of her fresh scented towels that was laying just at the end of the bed.

The Espada watched her carefully while she put her reading glasses on the black tall dresser before walking over to the bathroom that was just a couple feet away, "If you want, I can grab some comforters for the floor if needed, or would you rather share the bed with me?" Ren asked turning to him with a sly smirk.

"Should I just lie on the floor like a dog?" He retorted looking away, only to let out a 'che,' once again.

"Jeez, chill out dude, I was just asking whether you wanted the floor or the bed, for me it works either way."

"Do whatever you want." Was all he muttered back before the girl sighed & closed the door to the bathroom behind her.

Okay, can we say…Rude much?

The Espada had some nerve, but what else could Ren do at this point? Leaving the situation alone for moments on end, Ren decided it wasn't worth the effort & energy, & began her shower to only finished up shortly afterwards, wrapping a blood red towel around her body.

Ren walked out seeing that Grimmjow still hadn't move. His front was still towards the wall, & his back turned to the closet. He almost look like he was pouting in the corner, which made Ren sigh, only hoping that he'd fallen asleep by now. All the while the girl ran to her dresser again, quietly putting on her blue underwear, & a navy blue night gown over her before yawning & pulling out the towel from her damp cherry scented hair, again yawning to sleep that was calling her heavily. It was then she began to set up a small bed on the floor for her or Grimmjow. Well, she still wasn't sure which one was sleeping on the floor…So, she needed to check, somehow…

"Hey, Grimmy...Out of the bed, I got to get up early in the morning to open shop...Hey! Are you sleep with me then?" There was still no answer…

She attempted to shake him awake but he only smacked her hand away, & that definitely was starting to put the icing on the cake.

This time, Ren growled & sat down on the bed harshly, causing the bed to shake violently to have the Espada, Grimmjow sit up with an irritated look on his face, "What the hell are you doing woman?"

"Uh, duh, sleeping. I said you could sleep in here, I didn't say the room was yours, now. You may be an Espada, but I'm from the same damn generation as you, so don't treat me any differently!"

With that said, Ren turned over grabbing the comforter that was at the end of the bed & covered herself with it warmth, "If you wish to sleep in the same bed as me be my guest, but I'm not letting you have the entire bed tonight."

"I thought you said you didn't care you slept in the bed or not!"

Ren grinned, "Yeah, but I change my mind. I want my bed. It's comfier than the floor."

With that Ren made herself more comfortable, hearing a few curse words come from Grimmjow.

Ren was so lucky to have better control of her temper, because if it was any earlier that he came, she would've gave him a fist in the mouth, but considering also how drowsy she was getting, & the girl could only nuzzle the side of her cheek into her fluffy pillow & doze off into sleep. Well, at least she tried to, feeling the bed shift little by little, still knowing that the Arrancar was sleeping on the side of the bed, unsoundly now.

Oh, Ren Shinju could already tell this was going to be a long years worth with this new comer. And to make matters worse, he had just as hot of a tempered as she did! ~2 Days Later~

Mid-morning, Ren had fallen asleep at desk. For some reason it was getting more & more difficult to sleep in her own bed now, & ever since that Grimmjow guy moved in, it had been harder & harder for Ren to get anything done with him just laying around everywhere or getting in the way of something.

She couldn't make her bed, she couldn't change the sheets even though it'd only been a few days since the last wash. She was always on top of things, now it was nearly impossible! And this guy hadn't even been there that long!

Finally, Ren had opened her eyes to the sun beaming in through the windows, yawning as she raised her hair up to remove some of her strands to the back of her ear; all the while she didn't seem to notice another person sitting right next to her, which startled her greatly when she actually noticed the shadow out of the corner of her eye.

Unfortunately it wasn't a face Ren really wanted to see at the moment of waking up…

"Oh jeez, can't you be outside or something? God, maybe go out for a walk?"

Grimmjow just snorted leaning back in his chair with a sigh, "Yeah, right, so I can mingle with the Humans? No thanks."

Ren couldn't help but glare at his comment before hunching over the counter to re-open another book to help her pass the time. As she began to read, she moved her glasses up the bridge of her nose to get a better focus of the black ink before her.

"Then read a book, that's something to do."

"I'm not a book worm like you."

That was the last straw.

Ren slammed the book on the table & turned around to him, lap removing her glasses completely off your face with a quick flick of her wrist & fingers, "Look here, 'Mr. I have a stick up my ass'! Just because you don't like the deal that you ended up with, having to be here & what not, doesn't mean you get to treat people the way you do! Especially me! If you don't like me, go hang out somewhere else, up in the room, outside on the porch, in the kitchen, downstairs in the training room! That's what you like to do right? Then do that, & get out of my face, Jack!" She wasn't sure how much serious she could look, she looked royally pissed, internally wanted to grit her teeth together till there was nothing left, but the roots.

But this guy, he just couldn't help but push another button. It was too enthralling…

"That's it, that's what I like to see on your face. Anger, although you look so much hotter when your mouth is shut." He grinned up at her, mockingly, knowing that he had literally pissed her off now.

Ren straddled his hips harshly & pulled him up by his open collar that curled into her tighten fists when she pulled his face ever so closely to hers...

Almost threatening…No, she was threatening him.

Their noses were just barely touching one another's for goodness sake.

And Grimmjow didn't seem too happy about that either, glaring at Ren with just as much of a deadly gaze as her.

"What do you think you're doing, Onna?" He growled tilting his head at her as he began to grit his teeth in utter annoyance, but that didn't stop Ren, "I'm warning you...Sexta...You may have the same blood as me...And you may be very well be an Arrancar...Just like me. But, don't ever, ever think you're better than me... Oh, & by the way..."

Ren suddenly trailed off & beginning to bring her face even closer than their face could already be before starting to stare into his light blue, frantic looking eyes, which seemed to now notice the reitsu whirl within the woman straddled on top of him.

He was frozen in place, wondering what would be this girl's next move, considering that he could already feel her sweetened breath over his lips as her lavender iris's began spill into his orbs of confusion.

It was funny too, Ren didn't know why, but even though she was purposely trying to throw off Grimmjow's game, she couldn't help but admire the aggression behind his confused, intent stare.

She could see that this Espada was strong willed, & she looked up to ones with high spirits. Suddenly, with a quick thought of realization, she only smirked devilishly down at the memorized panther before slowly pulling away…

"Don't piss me off again, & you'll do just fine, Grimmjow Jeagerjagues." Ren patted his bare chest firmly now removing herself completely off of him to give him a breather, but not before back flipping gracefully over the counter to walk off for a drink of water, not even looking back to see Grimmjow still had that goofy look on his face.

*Grimmjows POV*

You have got be kidding me? A woman like her had spiritual pressure that intense? She was just as powerful as I was! It was, unbelievable.

But, I wouldn't let that change anything.

For the meantime, I would have to wave it off since I was much more eager to fight that Shinigami bastard, Kurosaki more than anything.

Already I could feel my fist curling from just thinking about it; knowing that I would have my challenge soon…Maybe even soon that I thought…
