Thank you for the reviews! :D As I promised, this chapter is longer =3= I'm so lazy, that's why I never write long chapters like this xD I'll try to get in the habit again~

Hmm, I keep getting ideas for things that happen later on in this story :O I don't know if I'm going to use any of them, though... xD

Well, that's it, so on with the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach.

After they settled in the room, all the while blushing, though Grimmjow tried his best to hide it, the awkward atmosphere was still apparent as they both sat on the opposite sides of the bed, avoiding each other's gaze.

They sat in silence until Grimmjow jumped, making the mattress bounce in the process. He stuffed his hand down his pant's pocket and pulled it out, a cell phone in his hand. It was vibrating, that being the reason he jumped.

Raising an eyebrow at the caller, he flipped his phone open, bringing it to his ear with a scowl.

"Yes?"

"Where are you today? And where is Inoue?" Ulquiorra's monotone voice came through the phone.

Out of his peripheral vision, Grimmjow could see Orihime, turned around and watching him curiously. She lightly played with the comforter on the bed, subconsciously, and looked around the hotel room.

"We're... out." Grimmjow didn't feel like disclosing where they were, partly because he felt that it was none if Ulquiorra's business.

"I thought you were going to have us all rob that video game store across the school today."

"Yeah, I was, but I'm out, and I won't be back for a few days, neither will Inoue." He said, hanging his head down as he let his free hand comb through his unruly blue hair.

"But you said-"

Grimmjow's head shot up. "Shut the fuck up! I already told you! I won't be back for a few days!" His grip tightened on his phone as he was ready to crush it in his hand if Ulquiorra didn't shut up.

"Ohh, who is that, Grimmjow-kun?" Orihime crawled across the bed to him and sat by him, trying to listen in on the conversation.

"Yes, I get that you are gone, but should the rest of us still rob that store? Unlike you, I'm not ignorant, and I happen to be quite intelligent, despite my associations with this gang."

The orange-haired girl jumped up and own, excited at hearing Ulquiorra's bland voice through the phone. "It's Ulquiorra-kun!" She squealed, still jumping up and down. She started adding 'kun' to their names, knowing that they wouldn't mind. Though she had not known them for long, she knew that they wouldn't get angry with her for using such familiar terms with them.

"Yeah, yeah, what the fuck ever." Grimmjow pressed 'end' on his phone before Ulquiorra could get another word in. He slipped his phone back in his pocket and looked at the now crestfallen Inoue.

"What?" He spat out.

"I just wanted to talk to Ulquiorra-kun..." She said softly, though sad at the same time.

He had to suppress a frustrated sigh. He didn't like it when she was sad, especially when he was the cause, but this probably was the first time he's ever saddened her.

He scratched the back of his head, awkwardly, and looked away from her. Oh great, she was making him go all soft. No, he would not let his feelings for her get in the way of his reputation! He was the leader of the Espada! He had to retain his whole bad-ass image!

He quickly got up off the bed and turned to face her. "So, what do you want to do first?"

Orihime, still sitting on the bed, stayed silent for a moment, before saying, "There are hot springs here?" She asked, tilting her head to the side.

He nodded.

"Then let's go to the hot springs!" She jumped off the bed and started towards the bathroom, but stopped midway. She turned around, "Wait... I didn't bring a towel with me." Once again, she looked crestfallen. "I didn't bring anything with me because we left without you telling me where we're going!"

She crossed her arms and stared at him, pouting cutely as she tried to make herself appear irritated. He smirked, knowing that she didn't have the heart to become irritated with anybody. She was too innocent to have such negative emotions.

"Relax, they gave towels here that you can use," he said, going to the door. "Let's go get them right now, for both of us." He opened the door and shut it once Orihime came out with him.

Their room wasn't far from the lobby, so it didn't take long to reach the lobby, where Chihiro still was. She looked up from her paperwork, which she was still working on, and smiled.

"Chihiro-baasama, can we have a towel for her?" He pointed to Orihime, who watched the old woman with interest. "And one for me too." He tried to keep his voice gentle as possible with the old woman.

She nodded, and went to the back where a large shelf was. On the shelf was a stack of towels that were almost too high for her to reach. She grabbed two, though, without much difficulty, even though she was short.

She came back to the front desk and gave them to Grimmjow. "By the way, Grimmjow-kun, you remember Loly-chan, don't you?"

"Grimmy-kun!" A voice screamed from the hallway.

Grimmjow froze in terror. "Oh, u-um, let's go, I-inoue." He turned around and grabbed Orihime by the arm and started to a door that was right next to Chihiro's front desk.

All of a sudden Grimmjow felt a weight on his back and froze once more. He let go of Orihime, who looked at him, confused.

The weight got off of him and pulled on his arm, forcing him to turn around to look at the offender.

A girl, about Orihime's age, stood in front of him, a flirtatious smile on her face. Her long, black hair was tied up into pigtails that flowed down to her back. Her pink eyes were looking up at him, trying to stare into his own eyes. She was clad in a pair of short shorts that barely covered up ass (or that's what he was assuming). On her chest was something that looked like a bar, but a little longer, though her stomach still could be shown. Her breasts (almost as big as Orihime's) were bulging out of her shirt, as if the shirt couldn't contain them.

This girl was Loly, his childhood friend that he would play with when they were kids. She is the granddaughter of Chihiro, unfortunately for him. But now she looked like something akin to... a slut.

"Grimmy-kun, it's been years since I've last seen you!" She pouted, but it didn't come out anything close to as cute as Orihime's to him. Her eyes were moving up and down on his body, appreciatively, though they stopped on his face. "My, how you've... grown, Grimmy-kun."

He nodded, getting the urge to roll his eyes, but stopped himself when he remembered that Chihiro was watching. "Yeah, it's nice to see you, Loly, but me and Orihime are gonna go now." He took a hold of the orange-haired girl, his grip tightening on her when he saw Loly approaching him, almost as if he was her prey.

Loly's face dropped at the sound of another person's name. "Orihime? Who's that?"

Grimmjow sighed, quietly, and pushed Orihime in front of him. She blushed and kept her eyes on the ground. For some reason, this girl intimidated her, but she didn't know why. She looked fierce, and looked like the type to harm you if you angered her in any way.

Loly's face, which was confused before, now took on a whole new expression. Her eyes narrowed slightly, though she tried her best not to let it show, and she tensed up. Grimmjow almost smirked at the look on her face. From what he could see, she looked almost jealous, but that was a plus for him.

As long as she was off his back, then he was fine. He almost forgot about the obvious crush she on him when they were young, but it looks like it never faded away, the crush.

She stuck her nose up in the air, haughtily, and marched right past her and to Grimmjow. She put a hand on his arm, lightly tracing it, sensually, trying to look seductive.

"So Grimmy-kun, I was wondering if we could go on a date later, maybe catch up on a few things..." She kept tracing his arm and looking at him, never letting her gaze go down.

He pulled back immediately. "I can't." Looks like it was time for him to use his skills in deceit. He was going to have to lie his way out of this. Loly was not his type of woman. She looked and acted like too much of a slut for him.

"Why not?" She demanded, her fists were balled up at her sides as they clenched.

And he almost forgot she had a temper, especially if she wasn't getting what she wanted. She was also just a spoiled brat that got everything she desired.

"Because." Here was the lie, "Orihime is my girlfriend."

Orihime's mouth dropped open, as did Loly's. The orange-haired girl's face went red as she brought her hands up to her face, desperately trying to hide her embarrassment. Loly's face also went red, not from embarrassment, but from anger.

"Oh, I see." Her voice was just above a whisper.

Orihime inched closer to Grimmjow, starting to fear the dark-haired girl. As she got closer to him, she grabbed and clung on to his arm, almost like what a little girl would do to their mother.

Grimmjow, deciding enough was enough, pulled Orihime along and started in the direction of the entrance to the hot springs. As they walked past Loly, they stopped at the sound of her voice.

"Let's see a kiss then." Venom was laced in her voice, no hint of emotion except for jealousy.

"What?" They said at the same time, looking at each other, then back to her.

"I said, let's see a kiss."

The two looked at each other again, and Grimmjow, knowing that he of course did not want Loly on his back the whole time they were there, nodded to the orange-haired girl next to him. Orihime looked down, nervous about having to kiss Grimmjow.

She understood that he didn't want this girl to annoy him the whole time they were at this resort. It was supposed to be relaxing, not an anger inducing getaway.

She was doing this for his sake.

He grabbed her arms again, for what seemed like the billionth time that day, causing her to look up at him, and into his eyes. He leaned his head down, so that his face was near hers, considering that he was noticeably taller than her.

Staring deep into her eyes, as did she, the two failed to notice Loly watching, in shock, but still moving in closer to take a good look. He captured Orihime's full, pink lips in a sweet, gentle kiss.

Orihime kissed back, enjoying the feeling of his lips on hers. But they soon pulled apart, both of their cheeks aflame with a crimson color, while staring at each other a little longer.

"B-but... Nnnghh!" Loly seethed, stomping her feet in rage. She stopped though, and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

Silence ensued. Chihiro witnessed the whole thing and couldn't smirk to herself as she filed out yet more paperwork. Things at her little resort were about to get interesting. Her granddaughter had a crush on Grimmjow, but it seemed that he was taken by a beautiful orange-haired girl.

She shook her head all knowingly. Plus, that girl, Orihime, had far bigger breasts than Loly. Her smirk turned into a smile at this thought. Breasts were good.

"Well, let's go in the hot springs now, Orihime." He dragged her to the doors and went through them before Loly did something else. She was a real pain in the ass, always was, always will be.

Heat pricked at their skin as soon as they arrived in the hot springs area. In front of them was three signs, each pointing in a direction. One said, "Men" the other said, "Women" and the last one said, "Shared."

"Shared?" Orihime asked.

"It means men and women can go in there, together."

She nodded, not knowing if they were going... together. Almost as if he read her mind, he looked in the direction of the men's hot spring. "Well, I'm going into the guy's section, but maybe, you know, if you want, later we can..." He mumbled the last part as he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.

"O-okay," she stuttered, clutching the towel tightly to her chest as his words repeated in her head over and over. Her body grew hot, but not from the overwhelming heat in the area. She often got heat flashes when she was embarrassed, and now was just another time.

He gave a small grunt, then headed off into the mens area. That left Orihime standing there, but she went into the women's hot spring too. She walked down a short path, and ended up overlooking a hot spring.

Steam was rising from the body of water, and plants and many beautiful flowers were surrounding the water. It looked very relaxing, something she would greatly enjoy.

She took a look around, making sure nobody was within sight of her. She didn't want to be peeped on by any perverts. Once she knew that nobody was around, she began to peel off her shirt from her some what sweaty body.

She hadn't had a shower since yesterday morning, before she went to school. She slid her skirt down so that it pooled around her feet, then stepped out of it and flung it off to the side with her foot. Now all she was in was her bra and panties. She unhooked her bra and put it with her other clothes, then took off her panties as well.

She took another glance around, this time becoming paranoid that somebody could see her naked body. She hurriedly wrapped the towel around her torso and went to the edge of the hot spring. She dipped her foot in, testing it's temperature. Knowing that it wasn't too hot, she started going into the hot spring and sighed in pleasure at how good it felt.

With one hand holding the towel together, she swam around in it with her free hand, but went back to the edge of it and dunked her head down in the water.

She brought her head back to the surface of the water, but other than her head, her whole body was submerged in the water, including her neck. She had her feet on the bottom of the hot spring as she was sitting down in the water, rather than sitting at the side of the hot spring.

Orihime closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling of water all around her. The heat felt good on her body, almost refreshing, like something new. She had been to a hot springs before, but only once. She couldn't afford to take vacations like this. Some of her relatives were paying for her house, since her parents were gone and her brother was dead. She had no money, except to buy food and necessities, never for anything fun like this.

Orihime opened her eyes, screaming as something landed on her. She was dunked down underwater, but brought her head back up to see what had done that to her. Loly, clad in a towel too, was right next to her, smiling evilly.

"Hey, Orihime-chan~" For some reason, she emphasized the 'chan.' She put an arm around the bewildered Orihime with a fake, sweet smile on her face. From where she was, she was in perfect view of Orihime's torso, as she was eying in with interest.

She grabbed Orihime's boobs and started squeezing, making Orihime jump and scream from surprise. "Your boobs are so soft and big! Why can't mine be this big?" She was groping more, getting a good feel of them.

"Hey, what's going on here?"

Grimmjow came running into the women's hot spring. Loly stopped as soon as he came in, and stood up. Her towel fell from her, showing her naked body in full glory.

"Oh god!" Grimmjow covered his eyes and tried to take a step back, but slipped from the water that was on the floor from when Loly jumped into the hot spring.

"Shit!" He cursed, now on his back on the hard, stone cobbled surface. He writhed and tried to slowly stand up, but ended up falling again.

Loly, seeing what she did to the fallen Grimmjow and the scarred for life Orihime, quickly left the hot springs so that nobody knew that she was the cause of their pain, especially her grandma.

After that fiasco, both of them got dressed in their room. Grimmjow in the bathroom, Orihime in the bedroom. As he came out, they both looked at each other, unsure of what to was pissed, while Orihime was mortified at what had just happened. If Loly was a guy, Grimmjow would of beaten her ass by now, but he didn't hit women, no matter how much they pissed him off.

Orihime wanted to ask him what they were going to do next, but he looked like raging he was raging, so she kept quiet. So far, the their trip was fun, despite that Loly girl surprising her like that in the hot spring and Grimmjow's fall.

She sat on the bed while Grimmjow paced around the room, almost as if he was in a trance. He paced when he was thinking sometimes, or when he was pissed, but right now it was because he was pissed. He wanted to just get rid of Loly. She still came on to him even though Orihime was his 'girlfriend.'

That threw him off. She was still so persistent. He stopped, having an idea come into mind. They would have to go some where else, not to stay, but to have fun at. He would take Orihime to the Osaka shopping district. She probably liked to shop, so it sounded like a good idea to him.

"Orihime, how about we go shopping for a bit?" He dug his hand into his pant pocket, feeling around for his wallet. Once he felt it there, he got his hand out of his pocket.

"That sounds fun." She felt bad that they would be spending even more money, but she didn't want to hurt his feelings and say no. She didn't like it when people spent money on her, so she just realized that Grimmjow was paying for their trip as well.

She up off the bed and followed him out the door. They left the lodging building quickly, in hopes of not running into Loly again, and walked down the side walk. Shopping districts were full of mostly people walking, never driving a car, so they didn't call for a taxi or rental car.

They weren't far from the shopping district, so it didn't take them long to come into contact with a large crowd of people. People were walking everywhere, almost as if it were a mob. Many stores aligned the wide, vast street. Cars were very close together, as there was much traffic going on.

The area was very busy, as that was obviously apparent.

Orihime's jaw was open as they walked down past the many shops. There were so many brand names she had heard of down the street, other she had never heard of before, but she guessed that they were for the upperclass.

Going through the mob of people was some what difficult, but before they could walk any further, Grimmjow pulled them into a random store. He hated crowds, and he just had to get away from this one. Orihime looked around the store, her eyes widening in fascination. There were mannequins everywhere, displaying the clothing that was sold at the store. The clothing looked very sophisticated, obviously for the wealthy.

Curious as to what store they were in, she looked to where the cashier person was. Above the area where you pay, was a sign in large, white letters. The sign read "Gucci."

"Oh my..." Orihime covered her open mouth with her hand at what store they were in.

She had seen and heard of Gucci. It was a very expensive designer brand that she would often hear about celebrities wearing it.

"U-um, Grimmjow-kun, I think we should leave the store. It's very expensive and-"

"We're not leaving, I can buy anything here for you." Grimmjow held up his credit card in his hand, smirking at the fact that he could afford almost anything in here. Okay, so having rich ass parents had its benefits.

"Okay..." Yet again, she felt bad for having him spend money on her.

She walked around the store, browsing at the many items they had. The store was mostly dominated by handbags, shoes, and other accessories. Very little of it was actual clothing itself.

She examined the handbags, admiring the elegant designs on the bags. She knew the brand was expensive, but when she picked up the bag to look at its price, she nearly dropped it from pure shock.

The bag was six hundred dollars.

She hurriedly put it back down, looking around to make sure nobody saw her. She didn't want to make a fool of herself, especially not in this store.

Looking back, she saw Grimmjow also looking around, but not touching anything. Most of the items in the store were for women, so apparently the demographic was aiming more towards women than men.

She went past the handbags, ignoring them now that she knew just how expensive they could get. She noticed that she was now in the scarves section. She smiled. She loved scarves, even though she didn't own any herself.

Orihime grabbed one of the scarves that hung off a hook. She closed her eyes before she took a glance at its price, praying that it was at least some what decent. The price said four hundred dollars, but it was still too expensive for her.

Sighing, she looked all around herself, noticing that she was surrounded by scarves. She browsed a bit more, her eyes sweeping over them, not giving much thought to any of them. But when her eyes landed on one, she stopped and let her gaze rest on it.

The scarf was a mint green sort of color, and when she went up to it and grabbed it, feeling it, she awed at how soft and silky it felt in her hand. She had to have it, she wanted it. She checked the price and bit her lip when she saw how much it was.

It was three hundred dollars, which was more reasonable than the handbag and the other scarf, but still pricey nonetheless. She took it off the hook and crushed up against her chest, squeezing it for dear life.

She would feel so bad if Grimmjow bought it for her, but still so happy at the same. She gulped, and turned away, looking for Grimmjow. Once she found him, he was looking at the many pairs of shoes with mild interest.

Once he saw her, he looked relieved, almost as if he didn't want to be in the store. He eyed the article of clothing in her arms, curious as to what it was.

"What's that?"

She bit her lip, again, and looked away. "It's a scarf..."

Seeing the hesitant look on her face, he knew something was up. "Okay? It's a scarf, so what?" He asked, crossing his arms and throwing her a stern look.

"B-but... It's three hundred dollars..." She mumbled. She clutched the scarf tighter to her chest, still not looking up at him in fear that he would get mad at her for picking out such a spendy item.

"So?" He deadpanned.

"B-but it's expensive!"

Before she could say anything more, he snatched the scarf from her hands and went straight to the cashier counter. He slammed the scarf down on the counter with a fierce glare on her face.

The cashier lady, seemingly intimidated, quickly scanned the scarf through the scanner and looked at the computer next to her. "Your total will be three hundred dollars." She tried her best to sound as professional as possible, but he detected a small quiver of her lip as she spoke, implying that she was at least slightly afraid of the blue-haired teen.

He reached into his wallet, looking for his credit card among the many receipts he had from other places back in Hueco Mundo. The whole time he was searching for it, from the corner of his eye, he could see the cashier have a smug smile on her face, almost as if she was thinking that a gruff looking teenager like him couldn't afford this scarf.

Once he found that piece of plastic he was searching for, he slammed it on the counter, this time in pride, and watched as that annoyingly smug smile disappear and was replaced with a small frown.

She scanned the credit card, a receipt coming out from the machine. She told him to sign on the computer pad thing (AN: Sorry I don't know what they call it xD) and proceeded to do so with pride swelling up in him. It felt kinda good to buy something that expensive for somebody, though he guessed that maybe only because it was Orihime he was buying it for.

He took the receipt that she handed to him, and practically ripped the bag from her hand that contained the now bought scarf. He cast one final small glare and went to find Orihime. He saw her looking at the hats on a few mannequins and poked her to get her attention.

Once she turned around, he shoved the bag into her hands and looked away, feeling his face grow warm. Damn it, why was he blushing? There was no reason to blush! He only bought something for her, so why was he blushing?

She looked inside the bag, gasping at the mint scarf that lay in there, and crushed the bag in her arms.

"Thank you, Grimmjow-kun!" She exclaimed, twirling around in a circle in the spot she stood in.

"No problem." Fuck, he still had that damned blush painting his cheeks! He could feel it.

They were out of the store a few minutes later, and were once again trying to make their way through a huge crowd of people. They were pushed and shoved as they went by, making Grimmjow become highly aggravated, but he ignored the rage that was building up in him for Orihime's sake.

When they finally came to an area with not as many people, Grimmjow raised an eyebrow when he heard a weird rumbling sound. "What the fuck was that?" He asked, his eyes moving from place to place to survey the area.

Orihime looked down at her stomach, covering it with her hands. "It's me... I'm hungry." at that exact moment, her stomach made another low growl from hunger.

"Yeah I am too, I guess." Grimmjow said, but he knew the perfect place they could eat at. It was a restaurant his parents would take him when he was a kid and visiting Osaka, and he could almost taste the delicious food that he remembered eating there.

"Follow me." He grabbed her hand, the hand that wasn't holding the bag, and pulled her through more waves of people quickly.

After a few more minutes, he pulled her into what she thought was another store, but when they went inside, it turned out to be a restaurant. She didn't see the name of the restaurant, but when she took a look at the menu that hung on the wall, she could immediately see that it was an Italian restaurant.

Since this was Japan they resided in, she hadn't experienced eating much Italian food, but she has had it, of course. They were seated a few minutes later and began to look through the menus of the many exquisite cuisines they had.

About an hour and a half later, they came out of the restaurant, their stomachs full with food. Grimmjow was old enough to legally drink, so he let Orihime have a sip of his wine, even though she wasn't old enough. It tasted weird to her, for some reason, but she guessed that was because she wasn't used to its rich flavor.

The food was good as well, no doubt about that. She found that she greatly enjoyed Italian food, but she just had to add some of own unique flavorings to it. she had pasta, but she thought it would taste better with a dab of ketchup, so that's what she put in it.

Now with their stomachs full with food, it was time to continue the expensive adventure of shopping!

Haha, I know, crappy way to end the chapter xD But it was where I wanted to stop it at =3=

That girl, Loly, is an actual character from Bleach, if any of you didn't know that. She beat up Orihime once because she was jealous that Aizen was interested in her (Loly had a crush on Aizen).

And this was a long chapter! (For me at least xD) So I hope you enjoyed that! :O

I actually did research, and there us in fact a Gucci in Ginza, the largest shopping district in Tokyo, but I put it in Osaka with the help of my magical powers! Mwuahaha~

Oh and sorry for any spelling mistakes! x_x

Ehh, I don't know what else to say, so... please r&r! :D

Oh and... Disclaimer: I don't own Gucci as well.
