Ok I won't be updating The Forgotten for a while and to make up for it I plan on uploading my other stories and a lot of short or long one-shots. Thanks for putting up with it. ^-^
OOC-big time

"Aizen"
"I know he's getting to strong. He took down a bear by himself the other day. Hell even I can't do that." Aizen hissed and walked around his den.
"Maybe it's time to kick him out?"
"NO!" Aizen growled. "We will run out of food faster."
"But he's the one that eats the most." The fox sat down beside the pack leader.
"True." The jaguar sat down.
"It's decided then." The fox grinned and shifted into his fox form then left the den. 'This will be fun'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grimmjow smirked as his ego grew bigger and bigger. He had just taken down another black bear. He silently cheered thinking about how proud his pack leader would be when he got back. Grimmjow knew the pack wasn't the best. It was made up of many different shifters, the largest number being cats and birds. He himself was a panther. The pack didn't only have animals known to the mountain and forest regions but others as well. The forest they lived in became known for unwanted animals that came from zoos and illegal transport. Grimmjow shifted into his panther form so that it was easier to bring the dead animal back home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~o.o
"Grimmjow is back!"
"He got another bear."
Grimmjow pulled the body up to his pack leader before backing up and shifting back into his half human half animal state. It changed for everyone. Birds having wings, cat having tails, ears, senses and speed, lizards having the eyes, tongue and being able to go without food are a couple of days.
"Another great kill Grimmy." Grimmjow turned his head to the fox.
"Thanks Gin." He ran a hand through his blue hair. He never liked the fox.
"Grimmjow…" Grimmjow turned back to their pack leader.
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry to say but you are banned from ever coming back."
"…."
It took a few solid minutes until his mind was able to finally process what was said.
"WHAT!?" Grimmjow sat there stunned 'Banned?'
"Why?" a bird landed on a branch over head and many others nodded in agreement all wondering why their best hunter was being kicked out.
"He is too dangerous to keep around anymore. You would have been long gone if not for your parents."
Grimmjow hissed and his ears pressed to the back of his head. "I'm the only one who can bring enough food for this pack and now you will starve!"
"We will survive now get out."
Grimmjow panted from his outburst before he shut his mouth and growled. He shifted back to his panther form before taking off into the trees. He turned his back to the ones who he considered family even if only Aizen kicked him out it still felt as if the whole pack did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Break~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grimmjow hissed and growled as he ran. He frightened off any animal that came near him.
"How dear he. I kept them alive by bringing them food. I had to take down bears just to make sure they were all fed and what does he do? He fucking kicks me out!"
Grimmjow roared and slammed his body against a tree. He charged at another not even noticing at if fell down. He jumped at anything that moved and tore anything out of his path. Whether it was a tree or rock or some unfortunate animals. Grimmjow knocked down another tree. He paused and panted before growling and slamming into another tree. When it didn't snap he tried again and again until he sank tot eh ground. The wind picked up and blow across his fur bringing the smell of fresh water. Dragging his sore and tired body through the trees into a small meadow covered in rocks and grass. He walked over to the stream that ran through and bent down for a drink. When he came up for air he noticed something orange out of the corner of his eye. His ears stood up in curiosity as he slowly moved closer. The tiger looked up from the rocks that he was standing on. The tiger looked up and blue locked with brown before the tiger turned and walked over to where the largest pile of rocks laid. Grimmjow quickly but quietly followed him in hopes to see where he was going. He made it in time to see the tiger disappear between two rocks into what he guessed was his den.
'Wonder where his pack is?' Grimmjow sighed and spotted a large felt rock not too far away. He climbed his way up and it was high enough to watch over the tigers den and the meadow. Stretching out Grimmjow couldn't help but purr slightly at the warmth of the rock. 'Hope he comes back out soon'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~O.O
Grimmjow stretched before standing up. "Time for food."
He walked away from the meadow and further into the trees. He crouched low and jumped at a bush he came back out with a bird. Grimmjow went back proud even though there was no one to praise him. Jumping up onto his rock he began to eat. Grimmjow stopped and looked up at the sight of the tiger slowly making his way out. He couldn't take his eyes off him. Blue met brown once again. The tiger stared for a few more moments before going over to the stream and reached into the water. It took a few tries until the tiger caught a fish and made his way back to the den. Grimmjow couldn't help but snicker at the tiger while he was watching him struggle. Before the tiger went back in Grimmjow wandered back into the trees.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~POV
Ichigo laid in his den, it wasn't much on the outside but inside it was large enough to fit a small pack of ten. There were smaller places along the wall that could hold about one or two animals in either form.
'He's still here?...' Ichigo smiled and curled his tail around himself. 'Still hungry though'
Ichigo lifted his head as someone came closer. He quickly made his was to one of the hide a ways and waited for whoever it was to leave. Ichigo tried to make himself smaller in the hole when the large footsteps stopped. They paused for a moment and a light thud could be heard as it echoed in the den. Ichigo slowly let out the breath that he didn't know he had been holding. Waiting for what seemed like hours but was only a few seconds he then slipped out of his hidey hole. He moved quickly and quietly to the entrance of his den. Ichigo scanned over the area before dropping his head to look at the dead rabbit on the ground. Sniffing at it before taking it into his mouth he looked up and saw the blue panther laying on a flat rock with his back turned to him.
'Did he?' Ichigo tilted his head then dropped the rabbit back onto the ground. "Thanks" he quickly grabbed the kill and went back into his den.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~POV
Grimmjow smirked even though it was quiet he could still hear the small thank you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Break~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mating season was just around the corner and Grimmjow didn't really want it to come. It only meant the tiger would go into heat and he would choose someone other than him. The thought of it made Grimmjow mad that the tiger would chose anyone else but him. Grimmjow grumbled to himself as he followed the water flow downstream and disappear behind the trees. The meadow was quiet and the only sound there was, was the rustling to leaves.
"I know you're there." He turned to look at a large black panther.
"Seems you're better than I thought."
"What do you want?" Grimmjow stood up from his spot on his rock and walked over to the panther. He didn't want him any closer than he already was, especially because Grimmjow now stood in front on the entrance to the tigers den.
"I smelt you along the borders of my land."
"Yes and?"
The panther stared at him before trying to move past him. Grimmjow moved with the panther preventing him from coming any closer.
"Something wrong?" the panther sat back.
"This territory may not belong to anyone but I'd rather not have you close to the place I'm currently sleeping at."
The panther stayed quiet before smiling. "Alright." He turned around and headed back from where he came. "Zangetsu."
"What?"
"My name."
"Grimmjow."
Zangetsu smirked then left. Grimmjow sent a quick look over his shoulder to the tigers den. Seeing as it hadn't been disturbed by an animal sneaking up behind him, he went back to his rock.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~POV
Ichigo couldn't help but over hear the conversation.
'Thanks Zangetsu' Ichigo walked to the opening to watch the blue panther return to his perch. 'So his name is Grimmjow…'
Ichigo silently squealed on the inside at the way his name sounded in his head and couldn't wait to say it out loud. After he calmed down he saw the dark rain clouds that had been rolling in and it only meant one thing. Rain.
"I wonder if he'll be okay?" Ichigo sat at the entrance with his tail wrapped around him as the rain slowly fell from the sky.
The rocks and stones darkened with the rain and the water in the stream rippled. Shivering Ichigo sighed as the air cooled and the wind picked up. Retreating further back into the den where it would be warm Ichigo's thoughts quickly went back to Grimmjow. He grinned as a plan popped into his head and he went to see the wet panther.
"Aren't you getting cold?" Ichigo stared at the blue eyes that caught his attention.
"Aren't you?" Grimmjow shrugged.
"Why don't you come in?" Grimmjow sucked in a breath and looked down at the tiger.
"Okay." He followed Ichigo back into the den.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~POV
"Grimmjow." The tiger smiled and shook off the water.
"I know I heard you talking to Zangetsu. I'm Ichigo."
Grimmjow turned his back to Ichigo and shook out his fur before shifting into his human form. "Thanks."
There was an awkward pause between the two.
"So why are you here by the river?" Ichigo quickly shifted back to his human form as well.
"My pack leader kicked me out. Don't know why though."
Ichigo turned to him. He marveled at the sight of Grimmjow's back and how his muscles rippled under his skin. Grimmjow turned to face Ichigo and let the tiger's eyes wander his body. He started at his face, and then he looked up to see blue hair pushed back. Ichigo's eyes went lower and lower loving every inch of the panther. When he finally looked back up blue caught brown. Ichigo blushed at the thought of being caught.
Grimmjow knew Ichigo was checking him out. His large brown eyes and his bright orange hair and Grimmjow couldn't get enough of his slim body. "What?"
"Nothing." Grimmjow smirked at Ichigo's blush.
"So why are you here and how do you know Zangetsu?"
"He's my pack leader and I left." Ichigo scooted closer to Grimmjow.
"You left?" Grimmjow looked down at him.
"Yeah our pack is messed up and no one would leave me alone. I got tired of it and left. It especially got worse near mating season."
'I can understand why.' Grimmjow looked to the side to watch the rain.
'He got kicked out does that mean he doesn't have a mate?' Ichigo's eyes wandered around the den and stopped on Grimmjow's shoulder. He couldn't help but let a small smile out knowing that the panther in fact didn't have a mate.
