Emerald Sun

The two finally looked at the clock for the final time. It was now 6:45. Tatsuki would be there in 34 minutes. Ulquiorra rose to his feet and offered a hand to his lover and spoke "Probably go clean up eh?"



"Do you mind if I take a shower first?" She asked.



"Be my guest." He gestured towards the bathroom.



"Light a candle? It probably smells like...yeah...the obvious." She said moving her hair over her head in a tousled manner...it looked like a hairstyle and 80's American singer would have had. She hurried away and went in the shower. Soon after he went in after her. She set up the table and waited for Ulquiorra to come to help. Soon enough Tatsuki was there 5 minutes early. She didn't say anything but the house smelled great...so the candle worked.



"Thank you, Ulquiorra is drying his hair and then he will be out here." She smiled.



"He dries his hair?"



"Yes, he does." She said pouting and being protective over him.



Tatsuki laughed " What a girl."



"Shh!!" She shushed.



Soon enough Ulquiorra served the dinner he had prepped and heat up the sauce. He portioned the food neatly and then brought it to the table. Everyone beamed with happiness. Tatsuki ate it with gratitude and was surprised at how good the dish was. "This is really good!" She complimented.



"Thank you." Ulquiorra closed his eyes.



"Man! Is there more?"



"Of course." He nodded getting up getting her some more.



When he returned Orihime cleared her throat and looked at Ulquiorra and finally spoke " Tatsuki. I have something I want to tell you." She admitted.



"Oh? Is it good?" She asked curious.



"We think its great." Orihime confirmed. " But I do ask that you...keep this quiet."



Tatsuki looked up " You never ask that. This must be pretty serious."



"Its going to be obvious soon enough...so I want you to know before I come out and tell others."



"Obvious? What are you talking about?"



"Tatsuki...I'm pregnant." She sighed heavily almost like she was holding her breath forever.

Ichigo was close to his house and finally asked Grimmjow " You want to come in for a little or you busy?" He offered.



"Well...I...probably am needed for something." He nodded.



"Urahara?"



"Yeah..."He groaned.



"Do you like living there?" He asked.



"Its a house right?" Grimmjow pointed.



"Say...maybe you could stay with me." He commented.



"Y-you want me to stay with you?"



"I owe you that Grimmjow.You paid 250,000 yen!" He urged.



Grimmjow shrugged " Its just paper. You needed it."



Ichigo rolled his eyes" Just paper."



Grimmjow stopped in front of the Kurosaki clinic and turned to the bruised teen. " Take care." he waved and began to walk away.



Ichigo looked at him confused and jogged a bit towards him " Wait w-" He fell over his bruised and sore legs and Grimmjow turned around and caught him safely. The two looked at one another and looked away fast. Ichigo bit his lower lip and continued " That wasn't much of an answer." Ichigo poked.



"I don't know if it would be a good idea." He shrugged.



"Oh ok. I just thought I would offer...you know...well I will see you later then?" He nodded turning away.



Grimmjow scoffed "Yeah."

"Your what?!"



"To harsh..."Ulquiorra rolled his eyes at Orihime.



"oh...Tatsuki I have a baby in my tummy."She assured.



"Orihime!? You two are not even married and she is in high school are you crazy!?" She first directed it to Orihime then without even stopping turned it to Ulquiorra.



"Married?" Ulquiorra asked.



"Yes married!" She yelled.



Ulquiorra was obviously confused at the word and looked at Orihime for clarification, but Orihime looked away. Ulquiorra shrugged...he figured it meant old.He sat there an silently watched as the two ladies talked.



"Orihime...I am sur-



"Tatsuki...I really need your support more then ever right now." Orihime spoke confidently.



Tatsuki stopped and breathed looking down at her empty plate. " I never said I didn't support you...I am just shocked."



Orihime looked away feeling ashamed, she looked down at the plate on the table. Ulquiorra's hand moved to grasp her hand and he spoke " Its ok 'Hime" He whispered.



Tatsuki closed her eyes " Alright its out of my system." She breathed and looked at the couple. " I am glad its with him and not-



Ulquiorra glared at Tatsuki, stunning her in her words. She was about to say Aizen. Tatsuki knew what had happen...and he didn't want to chance her crying. Tatsuki finished " Some douchebag." She ended.



Orihime looked up "We love each other...I don't know what else to say..."She added.



"I know you guys do. But what ARE you guys going to do when its later on in the year?" Tatsuki asked?



"Well luckily I will be getting bigger towards the end of the year.Hopefully I won't get to big."

It was night time, Ichigo went upstairs to his room and shut the lights of swiftly.He crawled into his bed and got under the covers. It was cold and he could feel the air chill at night.He automatically thought of Toshiro and his icy powers. He wondered ' How is everybody I wonder. They probably don't even miss me truthfully.' he turned over. It was so cold, the next thought was colors and the first thought was Grimmjow's hair. 'WHAT THE FUCK!?' he thought grabbing at his head.



"You ok there fruit?" a voice spoke in a low voice.



Ichigo jumped at the sudden intrusion and turned over towards the window "What the hell!" He paused and quieted " G-grimmjow?"



"I brought my stuff."



"I thought you said you didn't want to stay?"



"I figured you are pretty stupid without your shinigami powers...you know...so I thought it might be a good idea." He paused " Plus I hated doing all that petty cleaning."



Ichigo rose from the bed and shuddered " Well let me go try to fix you up a room-"He was cut short by Grimmjow pushing the door shut. Ichigo turned around and felt his warmth so close it radiated heat. "What the hell Grimmjow?" He laughed nervously turning to see Grimmjow over him.



"I will sleep in here for the night." Grimmjow spoke almost heated.



Normally Ichigo would have protested but tonight he was cold,tired and sore and didn't feel like running around. Ichigo shrugged and limped over to his bed. " Sleep where ever, goodnight." He said rolling over and closing his eyes. Grimmjow set his things in the corner and walked over to the bed and sat on it. Ichigo's eyes shot open " Not with me you weirdo?!"



"You said anywhere. Plus" he added taking his shoes off. It was his normal old arrancar outfit he wore when at home. It was a natural uniform to him. He threw off the jacket and tossed it aside "Your cold...so come here." He gestured wrapping his arms around Ichigo before he could protest.



Ichigo bit his lip and was about to pull away but felt his body fall into the perfect fitting mold of Grimmjow's body as he shut his eyes and relaxed against Grimmjow's chest. Grimmjow blushed and looked down at Ichigo seeing he was already sound asleep. He was just raped the night before and did some running around that day...it was a go fig that he was tired. Grimmjow swallowed hard and brushed his soft orange hair aside of his face and relaxed a bit. Ichigo's body tensed up and almost instinctively Grimmjow felt a low and deep gargle build up in his throat and pronounce itself as it radiated through the room...he was purring. This noise made Ichigo slip back into a deep sleep, and Grimmjow as well fell asleep, holding his fruit.

Ulquiorra got up to use the restroom and left the girls alone for a moment and Tatsuki turned to Orihime " I am really happy you two are having it. I really am. Just if you need anything please let me know ok?"



"I will, he is really trying you know that right?" She added.



"I can see that. Get some rest tonight ok?" Tatsuki added.



"I will. Be safe on your way home." She added hearing the door click shut. She locked the door and walked to through the house and began to shut off the lights and saw her room was flickering light. She tilted her head in confusion and walked down to see Ulquiorra had lit a bunch of candles. Orihime looked confused even more.

"What is going on Ulquiorra."



"The lights went out."



She looked back to see the VCR was still on and then looked at the light switch was on the on position. " No hun, the light bulb went out." She laughed.



"yes it did."



"We just need to change it silly." she smiled and then shook her head. " I don't mind sleeping with this kind of setting though." She blushed.



Ulquiorra led her to the bed and the two crawled in and cuddled for what seemed like hours before she shut her eyes. He held her tightly in an embrace. He brought his left hand up and stretched his pale appendages and the brought them into a fist quickly. The candles blew out as if the oxygen had been sucked out of the room quickly and he nuzzled into her sleeping as well.
