Disclaimer: I am not the creator of Bleach, aka Tite Kubo. I am only using the wonderful characters to sate my insatiable urge to have Grimmjow and Ichigo together.

A/N: This is one of the sequels to my 'cat' series. No actual dog was hurt in the writing of this, and I do like dogs its just that cats don't necessarily get along with them at first, at least my cats don't.

Part one:

I don't think that I am too unreasonable, when the strawberry requested he go home, I let him, even though I didn't want him away from my side. When he was gone for two days and I became bored, I went to go retrieve him, and wasn't too upset that he was enjoying himself with his friends. What got me upset though was when he got home, me trailing him without him knowing, he got attacked by a strange dog. It was a ugly mutt.

And he was laughing… What was the idea of him becoming friendly with a mutt? He was not suppose to get attached to dogs, I was a cat after all and cats and dogs do not get along too well. Proof was when Aizen had been around still and Gin had gotten a dog Arancar that would continually yip and be a pain in my back side. Everyone fawned over the stupid dog. Everyone that is except me.

One day I had followed the idiot dog out into the barren landscape, watched as it slobbered all over some trees. At the time I didn't know why I had decided to follow it, maybe it had something to do with the fact that it was vulnerable and I had already planned on what I was going to do, however I plead my case that consciously I didn't plan on it. It just so happened that it was ideal that I run my sharp claws into his side, and my fangs just wanted to taste him to see if he tasted good. Call it instinct, call it self preservation, whatever you decide to call it, know that I did not set out to kill that dog.

It just so happens that the dog died, it Was Not My Fault.

When Gin found out that the dog was "missing," no one knew what to say. Aizen questioned all of us, no one had a clue, I did feel a few sets of eyes study me though. I think everyone knew what had happened to the "precious" dog, no one though had the guts to call me out on it, or get too upset other than that damn fake smile man.

Now I know that all dogs are not evil, hell some can fight as good as me, this dog that was attacking my strawberry though was getting on my last nerves. I wanted to be the one that made him smile like that, I wanted to be the one that was that close to him.

"You can show yourself Grimmjow." Ichigo said.

Startled, I stepped down from the roof of his house, my eyes never once leaving that mutt. "How the hell did you know I was here?"

"It's not too hard to sense your reiatsu considering how close we become in less than a week."

True, I thought to myself, plus he was a substitute Shinigami, and if he was lax in that then what good could he be?

The mutt looked over to me and had its tongue lolling out. To me it looked evil, to Ichigo it must have been amusing for he laughed. What the hell was he laughing about? The dog looked ready to pounce on me. Was this divine retribution for the "accident" that happened to that dog in Hueco Mundo?

I could tell the hair on the back of my neck was standing on end, it prickled me. My teeth sharpened and I crouched down.

"Grimmjow," Ichigo's voice broke through to me as the dog made his move, "please don't kill Yuzu's puppy."

At his words, the attack I was getting aimed to strike fizzled, the dog sniffed my leg and was getting ready to attack it with slobber when my leg involuntarily, of its own free accord kicked. A small smile was visible on my face as I watched the dog roll away from my leg.

Ichigo, that damn fool, was rushing to the dog, as if it were about to die from a meager kick.

"Grimmjow!" Ichigo was near a panic state, "Yuzu will kill me if her dog gets hurt."

"Who the hell is Yuzu?" I felt rage towards this Yuzu that would dare hurt Ichigo, "And the mutt is fine, it didn't even get damaged from the roll."

"Yuzu is my sister." Ichigo was touching the dog all over to make sure no bones were broken. "You didn't need to kick the dog."

His sister huh… I didn't know that he had a sister that would kill him. How brutal was his family? Should I even let him come back here again?

"Well if she is going to kill you, how should I let you stay here?"

"That's not the point Grimmjow."

Harrumphing, I thought to myself, that is the point. "Well the thing is clearly fine." I sneered down at the mutt that was looking at me with soulful brown eyes and if I hadn't known better, I would have thought the dog had tears, as if…

"Well it is clearly traumatized." the dog was wagging its tail and licking Ichigo's face.

I couldn't help it, I snorted, if this was how it was traumatized, then why couldn't I be traumatized by the vicious attack it did to my leg? I should be the one getting comforted and petted, not the mutt.

"If that thing hadn't attacked my leg, then it would have been fine now wouldn't it?"

"It did not attack your leg."

Glaring down at the thing, I begged to differ. I was about to plead my case when around the corner came three kids, one blond, one brunette, and a red headed boy that looked a awful lot like the pineapple.

The little blond girl ran towards Ichigo and the mutt, throwing her slender arms around the thing, "Jack…" she giggled which irritated me. "Has Ichi-nee-san taken good care of you?"

"Grimmjow, this is Yuzu." he motioned towards the blond, "That over there is her twin Karin. And the red headed punk is Jinta from Urahara's shop."

Glaring at the blond, I growled, "If you kill Ichigo I will kill you, am I clear?"

"Wh-" the girl cowered at my glare.

"Mister," the brunette said, I had already forgotten her name, "Don't talk like that to my sister."

"Ass wipe," the boy made a fist with his hand, "I don't like you threatening the goddess."

"Moron." the dark headed girl was shielding this Yuzu from me.

"Grimmjow," Ichigo sighed in exasperation, "Its not like that…"

What the hell, this was one confusing day. First the strawberry gets mad at me for defending myself against the vicious mutt, then when I try to protect what is mine from his blood thirsty family I get told its not like that… what am I suppose to do? Just let the petite girl kill my strawberry? Hell no, would I allow that to happen.

The sobs caused me to lose my train of thought, glancing over I noticed the blond girl start to cry.

"Bastard." the dark haired girl said to me as she turned around to comfort her sister.

"You should go find a way to kill yourself ass hole." the punk red head said as he too turned to comfort the girl. Between the two of them, they helped her up and led her and the smelly mutt into the house. Good riddance.

"Grimmjow…" Ichigo sadly said, "You just caused my sister to cry."

"She threatened you…"

"Not literally, not like you did to her."

His words stung, couldn't I defend what was mine? Was I suppose to let her threaten Ichigo and not do anything to protect what was dear to me?

"I think you should go home." Ichigo pointed up to the sky, indicating back to Hueco Mundo.

"No!" I crossed my arms over my chest, "Not without you."

"I need to stay here." Ichigo looked at me as if accusing me of all the evils.

"I'll stay here too then."

"No you wont."

"Why not?"

"You are not wanted right now."

Startled at his words, I glanced at him. Was he saying what I thought he was saying? Was he choosing that dog over me?

Growling, I turned and in a flash left him, not saying a word.
