Grimmjow came flying in to stab Ichigo in the face with his claws. Ichigo caught his hand and glared at him with his new golden eyes.

"It'd suck if my mask broke? That's my line, Grimmjow!"

Even though Ichigo had slashed him across the chest with his sword and sent Grimmjow flying, he didn't care. He'd gotten really close to Ichigo at that moment. He let himself go backwards, then flipped over to land on the ground. He called up to Ichigo.

"Oi, Ichigo! You know what? You should be an Espada! I know Halibel is thinking it!"

He pointed to where the blonde was standing in the distance. He could just feel the glare she was sending his way, but he ignored it. Ichigo was staring at him weird too.

"What are you talking about?"

Grimmjow crossed his arms.

"Well, you see, it's like this," He began conversationally. He pointed to the headpiece that he was now sporting. "See this? Remember that I used to have teeth on my cheek, right here?" He pointed to his cheek.

Ichigo warily nodded.

"Uh, yeah... How could I forget? What's your point?"

"My point is, that my teeth were my panther teeth, right? Well, I just got this close up of your mask. It looks like a lion's skull."

He couldn't see but he was positive that Ichigo had just raised one of his eyebrows; one of his eyes had gotten wider.

"Your point...?"

"Well, you probably have a Resureccion."

Ichigo crossed his arms.

"I don't."

"You probably do!" Grimmjow insisted.

"Why do you think that?"

"Well, since your mask looks like a lion's skull, right? Well, maybe if you tried to release your sword again, your mask would change again!"

Ichigo rolled his eyes.

"If we're just going on appearance here, then you shouldn't be a panther or whatever the hell you are."

"Why?"

Ichigo pointed at him.

"Your ears! You're an elf!"

Grimmjow glared at him.

"We aren't talking about me, we're talking about you and the fact that your sword can be released again!"

Orihime looked down at the conversation with a confused expression on her face. She had no idea what was going on, and it seemed that Ichigo didn't either. She saw him look down at his sword, then back at Grimmjow.

"I'm pretty sure that this is as far as it goes, Grimmjow."

"No, no! Try saying something like 'slash' or 'cut' or maybe even 'scratch their faces'!"

Ichigo couldn't believe the immaturity Grimmjow had hidden deep inside him.

"Are you kidding me? 'Scratch their faces'?"

Grimmjow shrugged.

"It's worth a try."


Suffice it to say that Ichigo didn't even think about trying to 'find' his Resureccion. He knew that there was no point. He only beat Grimmjow to shut him up about having a Resureccion.
