"Work. I'm keeping him here." He said as he began walking away. "No you're not." Grimmjow blocks the door. "You promised Nel that you'd take care of him. Either you suck it up and take Midnight back, or you take Berry. She'll have your ass when she finds out how you treated the kitty." Ulquiorra visibly stiffened at the thought. He turned his head to see both Berry and Midnight in the doorway. Berry glared and Midnight hid behind Berry. "Whose it gonna be?" He asked folding his arms.

Kurai curled into a ball, fast asleep, atop the refrigerator. "Midnight." A melancholic voice called. Kurai yawned and flattened his ears. "Get down from there." Kurai stretched and looked down at his owner. He was holding a box full of books and papers. "Come down here." Kurai jumped off the fridge and landed on his feet. He sat cross legged in front of Ulquiorra. He waved hi.s tail back and forth with his ears standing at attention. "Have you eaten?" Kurai shook his head. "Good. You're going out to eat with Ichigo, and Grimmjow. Hurry up and get dressed, Midnight. They'll be here soon." Ulquiorra spoke and headed for his room. Kurai frowned and his ears flattened against his head.
It's been two weeks and Ulquiorra still insisted on calling him, his pet name. Kurai was completely aware of who he was, but he couldn't remember what happened on their way home and it was the same as Ichigo. He missed his uncle dearly and would rather be home with him, than his high school heartbreaker. He was still the same heartless man from school, and he hated it. He wasn't aware of who the man was as a kitten, but as soon as he transformed, memories hit him like a punch in the face. He slowly stood up and walked over to the guest room. He pulled some clothes out of his dresser and threw them on the bed.

"Come on, Ich!" Ichigo held onto the bedpost as Grimmjow pulled Ichigo by the waist. "We're just going to eat. You can wear a hat! What's your problem?" Ichigo still refused to let go. He didn't want to go out, especially with a tail and ears. He hated them both. Ichigo shook his head no and held on as tightly as he could. 'Why the hell is he so damn strong?' He moved closer to the kitsune until his chest touched Ichigo's back.
He pulled even harder and Ichigo still wouldn't let go. "Berry, where did you go?" Grimmjow continued trying to pull Ichigo away from the bed post. "Oh, Mr. Grimmj-" He stopped pulling the kitsune and turned around. His pet sitter stood in the doorway with a beet red face. "I'm sorry." She ran off. He went back to pulling Ichigo off the bed. He stopped when he felt eyes on him, so he turned to the panther, who sat watching the whole scene. "What's up, Pant?"He stopped when he felt eyes on him, so he turned to the panther, who sat watching the whole scene. "What's up, Pant?" Pantera looked at the doorway to see Kurai, standing in the doorway and holding a duffle bag.
"Hey, we were supposed to pick you up. What are you doing here? Why do you have that bag?" Kurai holds out a folded piece of paper for the blue haired man to take. Grimmjow finally let go of Ichigo and sat on the edge of the bed. "Ya don't have to stand in the doorway. Come here." Kurai hesitantly walked over to the man with a beat red face. When he was close enough, Grimmjow yanked him into his lap. "What ya nervous for?" Kurai covered his eyes with one hand and pointed down with the other. The man shrugged. "Nothin to be ashamed of." Kurai was suddenly yanked off the naked man's lap, and into Ichigo's. "What's up with ya, Ichi." The orange kitsune glared while holding Kurai. "Whatever." Grimmjow opened the note and read it. "Are you fucking serious?!"
'I have an important matter to attend to and will not be home until further notice.' Was typed in the middle of the page. He signed his name at the bottom. Grimmjow balled up the paper and tossed it in a random direction. "Fucking." He dragged his hand down his face. "Damn that man." He looked at Kurai. "He's never called you by his name, has he?" Kurai's ears flattened and he shook his head no. "Emotionless prick." He muttered to himself. "Look, Kurai. You can stay in Ichigo's room." Kurai smiled and jumped back into the man's lap. He hugged the man tightly and kissed his cheek.
"You're welcome." Kurai rubbed his cheek against Grimmjow's chest. "You still hungry?" Kurai nods. "Why don't ya get Ichi to get dressed and we'll go out to eat. You'll get to meet one of my coworkers." Kurai crawled off his lap and sat in front of Ichigo. "Be right back."

Grimmjow pulled up in front of a large warehouse. Different bright lights flashed through the windows and there was loud music blaring. "What the-?" He pulled the paper out of his pocket and read the address. 'This is it. What the hell is this?'
He turned around to look at Ichigo and Kurai. Ichigo folded his arms and pouted. "I don't know what this place is. But, we won't be here long. Come on."
Ichigo held on to Kurai's hand as they followed Grimmjow through the front door. "The fuck?!" There were hundreds of people dancing against each other. They were uniformed in neon colors with fuzzy leg warmers, fuzzy ears, and a tail. The women wore bejeweled bras, tube tops, with miniskirts, shorts. Some even wore skin tight leggings. The men wore mesh shirts, muscle shirts, half shirts, leather pants, and colorful jeans. There was paint all over the place and their hair was dyed in different colors.
Grimmjow looked at Kurai and Ichigo nervously. Kurai wore a grey and white hoodie with thumb holes and black jeans. His hood was pulled over his head. Ichigo wore a black t shirt with a white skull on it and black jeans. He wore a hat with a white stripe going around the hat. Their tails were wrapped around their waists, under their stomach, but that won't do much.
"Stay behind me. Don't get lost and don't wander off." They nod and Kurai gripped onto the back of his shirt. They maneuvered through the crowd of people. Ichigo gripped his friend's hands tightly as stranger's hands rubbed all over his and Kurai's body. Finally, getting through the crowd, they stop in front of the V.I.P section. There was a body guard standing in the way. 'State your purpose." He said.
"I'm looking for Christine. It's Jaegerjaques."
"What about those kids?" The man pointed at Kurai and Ichigo. "They're with me." The man moved out of the way and let the three in. The V.I.P room was like a small lounge, but was filled with people kissing and rubbing against each other. Ichigo and Kurai was slightly uncomfortable at the scene. Kurai squeezed Grimmjow's arm. "Grimmjow?" He turned to his left to see a woman with wavy blonde hair, and honey brown eyes. There was a gold star under her left eye. She wore a white corset tied in the front, a white miniskirt, black knee high socks, and white laced up boots. She sat on a nearby sofa with a girl in her lap. Her hand was in between the girls legs and her other hand squeezing her breasts.
The girl squirmed in the woman's lap. "Hey, Grimmjow. I'm glad you made it."
"Christine, what the hell? You said we were going to eat. Why'd you send me here?" He was beyond irritated with the woman. "You always seem tense at work. Loosen up and have fun."
"Your kind of fun is not my kind of fun, Christine." The woman pouted and then her eyes moved to Kurai and Ichigo. Ichigo glared and Kurai hid behind Grimmjow. "Who are they? They're adorable."
"None of your business."
"But they're so cute." Christine argued. Of course, the kitsunes weren't sure if they should take it as a compliment. Ichigo jumped at the feeling of someone grabbing his ass. The fur on Kurai's tail bristled as something rubbed against his ass. Ichigo turned around and punched the harasser in the face, but his hand was caught. He was suddenly pulled against someone's chest. An arm wrapped around his waist and a hand grabbed his package. Two fingers were forced into his mouth and something was pushed down his throat. Kurai hurried to his friend's side and pulled the harasser away. Ichigo then punched the harasser in the face. He held his throat and tried to cough up whatever was in his throat. Kurai hit his back hoping whatever was lodged down his throat would come out. He spit it out on the floor and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
"Feisty ones, too." Christine chuckled. Grimmjow turned around and pulled both kitsunes into his arms. "The hell is wrong with you?!" Christine only smiled. "Why don't you stay, we can have fun."
"No way. They're not staying here." Christine frowned again. "Fine. Always so uptight."
xXx
Ichigo and Kurai sat across from Grimmjow in a diner. "You two okay?" He asked the kitsunes. Kurai nodded in happiness, while eating. Ichigo only shrugged. "What's wrong with you, Ich?" He watched Ichigo push his food around the plate. "You not hungry?" Ichigo shrugged and Grimmjow scowled at the difficult kitsune. Kurai reached forward and tugged at Grimmjow's sleeve. He looked at Kurai, who pointed to his plate. "Still hungry?" Kurai nods. Ichigo pushed his plate over to Kurai, but Kurai pushed it back. Ichigo shook his head no and pushed it back. "Just eat it, Ich. You know you're going to be hungry later." He only glared at the blue haired man. "We'll just order some more food for your friend. But we gotta hurry up. We have another stop to make." The kitsunes tilt their head in confusion

Grimmjow pulled up in front of a large mansion. Ichigo was lost, he had no idea where we were, but Kurai did. In excitement, he pulled the handle to open the door, but it was locked. "Calm down, kid. You'll get to see him, soon." As soon as Grimmjow unlocked the door, Kurai opened it and dashed to the front door with Ichigo following. Grimmjow only sighed and followed suit.
Kurai excitedly knocked on the door. HE bounced up and down waiting for someone to answer the door. "I'm coming. I'm coming." Called a tired voice. The door opened and Kurai smiled brightly as the blonde rubbed his eyes. "Do you know how late it is?" The man looked down and his eyes widened. "Kurai?"
