Aizen was defeated, the winter war was over. To say things were normal was a slight understatement. Yes Ichigo was still a substitute soul reaper, had regained his power, had retained his friendships with the soul reapers. But one thing stood out... Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez was one of the only survivors from the espadas.

It was a bit of a surprise that he had survived Nnoitra's attack, and even a bigger surprise that Soul Society had decided to take him and place judgement on him. But the biggest surprise, there's a lot of surprises, was that it wasn't Captain- Commander Yamato that would judge the situation, it was you.

You would be a liar if you couldn't admit to yourself that you had fallen for Grimmjow. Your time spent in Hueco Mundo, he was the one that was always there, always looking for you, always protecting you. You had fallen in love with him, and he with you.

Grimmjow had then been sentenced under house arrest in Karakura Town with Urahara. However, your duties in Soul Society don't stop for anyone, so you had only gotten permission to visit the world of the living for 1 week every month.

It always seemed like a enough, having that 1 week with Grimmjow. Not much had changed really, he was still a lazy, sarcastic, grumpy, and blunt espada he's always been. And you, had gladly accepted that... he'll probably never change.

However, those times spent with Grimmjow, there was a change in his actions. He often stared at other women, even continue conversations with them as they flirted with him. He always reassured you that it was nothing, that you were just seeing things or having negative thoughts. And you being you, believed him.

Not soon after, your questions were answered. You stood outside your shared room with Grimmjow and listened as he had a sexual relationship with another woman. Perhaps this was why he was different, why he acted a certain way now a days. To say you weren't bothered was a lie. To say you weren't heart broken was an even bigger lie. Without much thought anymore, you returned back to Soul Society.

Grimmjow never picked up on your disappearance. In fact, he didn't even know he had been caught. The only reason he noticed you were gone, was when he didn't see you for the present month at the time. And then another, then another, and then another. After 4 months, Grimmjow had come to conclude for sure that you were never coming back. He grinded his teeth in annoyance, and only one thought crossed his mind every time a new month began... "Where the fuck is she?"

9 months later .

"Seriously Yachiru, do we have to take our vacation in the World of the Living?" You asked aggravated by the choice in vacation destinations. Of all the places in the world to go, why Karakura Town? Whyyyy?

"Don't you want to see Ichi?" Yachiru asked as she sat up perched up on Zaraki's shoulder. "Pachinko head and YunYun are here too."

"I wouldn't mind seeing Ichigo." You admitted. "But we see Ikkaku and Yumichika everyday back home."

"Yeah, but families vacation together Mimi- chan!"

"Ok, ok." You held your hands up on surrender. Yachiru was right, family vacation together. Plus there was no point in arguing with her, she had a comeback for everything.

Zaraki simply just followed Kagami to Urahara's place of residence, while listening in on the conversation. They were annoying, arguing about a vacation. Who needs a vacation from fighting? Fighting is the vacation! But as annoying as they sounded, he would never admit to enjoying their company, his families company. Cause if there was one anything that he loved more then fighting, it was these 2. But he would never admit that.

"Urahara-san!" You called out as the three of you walked into the small shop.
"Why are we here?" Zaraki asked annoyed as the spikes of his hair hit the door frame as he leaned down to get in. Must suck to be so tall.
"We have to get gigais to roam around." You answered as you walked further into the shop. "We can't just roam around without a gigai, Captain- Commander will get mad. That was the condition given while we vacation here."
"Fine, but let's hurry up. I want to sleep."
"I told you to sleep last night."
"I was busy."
"With what?"
"Paper work."
"You don't do paper work!" You answered back.

"Ahh! Captain Zaraki, Lieutenant, Kagami." Yumichika praised as he heard the sounds of you and Zaraki yelling at each other. What's new.
"Yumichika!" You said with a smile as you headed towards him. "Where's Urahara-san?"
"Oh he's getting the gigai's ready. Follow me."

"It feels weird to be wearing a gigai again after so long." You said as you stetched. Lucky for you, you didn't have to wait for your gigai to be made. You were fortunate enough to have a gigai previously made for all the times you had come to the world of the living before.
"Kagami-chan, do you mind going to the grocery store for me? I'm busy with finishing Zaraki-sans gigai." Urahara said nicely as he held a gentle smile on his face. Typical.
"Yeah sure why not." You replied as Tessai handed you the money and list. "I'll be back." You called out as you headed for the door.
"And buy some clothes for these 2 as well!"
"Kay!"
"You're barely wearing any clothes!" Zaraki called out annoyed.
"I'm wearing a dress." You replied annoyed.
"People can clearly see your chest and your legs."
"Leave me alone onii- chan!" You yelled back with the slam of the front sliding door.

Everyday it was almost the exactly the same. He went to work. Came home. Picked up girls. Went to a hotel. Sex. Then back home once more. Then the day would start over once more. The only difference was that every night, it was a different girl. There was nothing that was really interesting in his life. Except the fact he got a lot of looks from different the women on the street. Lustful and attractive looks. For a man with genetic blue hair and eyebrows, he was strangely attractive. Weird. Oh well, he enjoyed the looks he received.

He was heading back to the Urahara shop, wanting to get ready for a night of fun once again. Although he enjoyed the night life he lived, he wished for a surprise of what not. Something that would throw off his way of living. What he wanted was something to distract him, something to keep his mind on. Anything, however small. Cause even fights with Ichigo didn't seem that tempting anymore, well not that much.

Then he saw her. A surprise he had actually been waiting for. A big surprise. Just as he was about to turn into the entrance to the shop, he heard a loud female voice and a loud slam of the door. Grimmjow peeked from behind the fence to see you, leaving the shop in what seemed like a rush. Grimmjow pressed himself against the fence, in hopes you wouldn't see him... thank lawd you turned the other way. He couldn't help but stare at you, you hadn't changed at all. But what Grimmjow couldn't believe was that you were here, you came back. After so many months, you returned.

While shopping around for some clothes for Yachiru and Zaraki, as well as picking up the groceries for Urahara, you received attention from a lot of the young men. It was the first time since you received such attention since Zaraki made sure it never happened in Seireitei, and Grimmjow made sure it never happened when you were in the human world. But with Zaraki back in the shop waiting for his gigai, and Grimmjow doing who the cares what he's doing, it was a rather free feeling.

You quickly made your way back to the shop, not wanting Zaraki getting mad at you for taking so long, which you did... you took your damn time getting back to the shop.

On your way back to the shop, it began to rain. Dammnit. If you caught a cold, Zaraki would surely not be happy, and you would be scolded once more for not taking care of yourself. You didn't mind being scolded, all he ever really did was scream. It's what happened after the screaming that you feared... the fighting. Whenever Zaraki scolded you, he was always screaming, which led to fighting. Which meant you as his opponent. Meaning, you vs. Zaraki, meant you running for your life. Cause there was no way in hell, you were going to fight a man who loved to fight.

You reached the porch of the small shop, putting down the bags just for a moment. There was so much to carry since you needed to buy the groceries, multiples clothes, undergarments, and all other necessities that Tessai had written on the back of the grocery list.

Picking up your things once again, you reached for the handle of the door, only for it to be opened as you reached for it. In front of you stood a man with blue hair and blue eyes. It almost seemed like you could get lost in them, which you almost did. You were distracted.

You continued to stare for a moment, he wasn't much different physically. Except for the fact he didn't seem to complain about his gigai, and the outfit he was wearing, it wasn't something you really expected on him. Black pants and black dress shoes, made him look rather professional. To add on to all this, a dark blue dress shirt, the collar of the shirt wide open, exposing most of his chest. Maybe not that professional...

You stood there in front of him, bent down slightly at the weight of the things you had just bought. You hadn't even realize that Grimmjow was already letting his eyes wonder on you, and then finally let them rest on your slightly exposed breast.

"Sorry." You said with a small smile and a bow. "Please excuse me." You replied as you walked past Grimmjow, pretending you didn't know him.

Grimmjow only stared after you as you walked into the shop where that smile never left your lips. Grimmjow couldn't help but continue to stare as you closed the door behind you with a slam in his face, causing Grimmjow to growl in return. You had done it on purpose, and Grimmjow knew that.

But Grimmjow continued to stare at the door a little longer, he had been completely taken off guard by your presence. How long had it been since you had returned to the World of the Living? Grimmjow had then vowed to himself that he would do whatever it takes, to get you back.

End.
