Beginning Again

Chapter 10

    When everyone else finally woke up it was to the smell of food. Stark was the first one to open his eyes and looked around to see who had woken first and saw they only Saya was missing and that's when it clicked. "Saya's cooking breakfast." That had everyone opening their eyes and looking at Stark and the empty spot on the sofa. "Fuckin awesome." Grimmjow raised an eyebrow as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "She's a good cook?" A few people looked at him like he lost his head but that's when they realized he never once had her cooking.
   "Dude her food is like the best, ya gotta eat it and you'll understand." He looked at Nnoitora and simply nodded it was then they heard Saya yelling. "Foods done come an eat!" And he swore he had never ever seen any of them move as fast as they did in his entire life. Chuckling he stood up and stretched before he went and joined everyone in the dinning room. "Woman did you cook for an army?" Along the table were four full plates of pancakes and 2 plates of bacon and sausage.
    Saya simply laughed. "You would think so, but with the way everyone here eats minus myself you would think I just fed an entire village, I don't know what your appetite is like so I made sure to make extra this time around." He blinked before he nodded, he knew how everyone in here could be when the food was good, hell even he had an insane appetite. So shrugging his shoulders he went and sat down in the chair closest to saya and that's when it clicked.
    Looking around he saw everyone was basically next to their corresponding number and or partner. Nel was next to Nnoi since they were dating. To which he was gonna have to ask how exactly that happened. Then ulquiorra was next to Syazel however he was sure if Saijin was here it would be Saijin next to him instead, Stark was across from Nnoitora and Saya was seated near Grimmjow, it was almost like the old days. Just Saya was no longer an Espada, and halibell....halibell was a dead woman walking.
     As everyone else dug into their food Grimmjow was a bit hesitant, it wasn't that he didn't trust the food, or that he didn't trust Saya, he just never had pancakes that were cooked right. Suppressing a sigh he finally fixed his own plate and tried it, what he wasn't expecting was to feel several pairs of eyes on him. "What?" He asked after swallowing. "Whatcha think grimmy?" He felt his eye twitch at nel's nickname for him but didn't snap. "It's good, I like it thanks fer cookin Saya." And he swore he never saw a smile light up her face the way one just did.
    Turning away from him she ate her own food while everyone else resumed their own meals. He wanted so badly to hold Saya at this point, to call her kitten again, grab her hand for no reason and cuddle with her like her did the night before. But this wasn't the same woman, she was different in her own rights, for one she was alive, she didn't have her sword. She had the sight but didn't fight the hollows, she didn't kill for no reason, she helped, she was still loyal, and still self sacrificing and protective. And it made him feel at home again. Like the hole in his heart was healing.
     "By the way..." several people looked up as Saya spoke. "After I clean the dishes I gotta head out okay?" Nnoi groaned and Ulquiorra spoke a frown on his face. "Why? We were planning to use today to spend it as a family." She almost grimaced. "I know but my deadline is coming up, I have to finish the book and send it off to Karin and I don't have my laptop on me." That made everyone groan, Saya was indeed the definition of a workaholic. "Besides I know two of you have work today and Nnoi I don't care you can't always work from home and Ulquiorra I'm also aware you agreed to help Urahara organize his shop."
    Both men groaned at the reminders. "Damn shes right." Nel blinked "I have work today as well ya know, I help at the daycare Monday through Friday." Nnoi nodded he knew Nel couldn't stay but he totally forgot about work. "I mean I could just tell boss man I ain't comin and I'll do all my work from home." Saya glared at him for that. "That's rude." Grimmjow almost laughed. "I'll even ask him now." And with that he turned to Grimmjow "yo boss man I ain't coming in, reason my baby sister is over." Saya blinked before looking at Grimm then Nnoi and she felt her eye twitch. "Ya know it damn well shoulda clicked in mah head earlier when The smirking kitty next to me told me he was the CEO of your job."
     Both men blinked and Grimmjow had to bite back a growl while Nnoi howled with laughter. "But..." both men looked at her and the most sickeningly sweet smile formed on her face and they felt chills. "If neither one of ya go ta work today I will personally beat the shit out each of you and I am quite sure Nnoitora that Nel will be more then willing to help." Nel nodded in agreement and both men flinched. "Okay, okay we'll all go to work." Saya smirked and went back to eating. "However Saya...ya need a break after this book."
     Putting down her fork she stared at the man in front of her and he suddenly regretted what left his mouth. "I know, that's why after this book I'm taking a year away from writing." He simply blinked and relaxed as Saya said that. "Good....now let's eat up. Saya ya can head home now if ya want. I got the dishes." Nel stood after Saya did and kissed Nnoi's cheek and ran to get ready, she was gonna be late if she didn't leave now. However before saya could leave did she stop when she felt Grimmjow grab her wrist. "Yes can i help you?" He chuckled. "I just want permission ya text ya is all." She blinked before she chewed the inside of her cheek.
     She hardly knew the man but also knew that wouldn't change if he had no way to contact her. "Ya, get my number from one of them here. I'll see ya guys. Also nnoi.." he looked at his sister with his one violet eye. "What's up?" "Im calling you later, I have a few things ta ask you when I'm not rushing around and when ya ain't busy." He nodded and watched as she literally ran out the door and grabbed her bag on the way. Turning to Grimmjow he shrugged. "So....we goin ta Work?" He blinked before he broke out laughing as Ulquiorra and the others moved to clean up and also get ready to leave.
    "Yeah man, we got meetings today and I don't wanna face the wrath of an angry Saya." Nnoitora groaned but agreed, the woman was damn scary some days, especially if she hadn't had any coffee to which he hoped she got some on her way home. "I'll get ya her number later, we should get a move on if we don't wanna be late...and ya right, she has this scary way of knowing if we don't go to work or do what we are suppose to doing and I really don't wanna have her break my hand again. Thankfully Urahara knew how to fix it but damn it hurt"
    Grimmjow flinched, he did not want anything on him broken, so he nodded and stood up, helping everyone clean the dining room he took out the trash while the others cleaned dishes and what not. Saying a quick bye he got in his car and drove off so he could go home and shower before changing for work. Driving towards his house, he was unaware that someone had been watching the house, someone who wanted bloodshed, in the worst way possible. Said person turned and walked away, hell bent on revenge and on eliminating what stood in their way.
