Hello, lovlies. This was going to be a oneshot, but i can see it going farther, maybe only a few chapters though. Not much. I just wanted to let you all know im alive and kicking, just busy as hell. Haha. The next chapter for Houspet is up next followed by Merry go round and DWATCIHT. So look forward to it! I know this is very short btw. Im too lazy to get on my new computer or my laptop so forgive me for writing on my phone.

I don't own bleach yadda yadda but damn if I did, Grimm would be blowing Ichi's back out.

The small kitten mewed in distress, tiny paws nudging the prone body of its golden orange mother. Struggling, she sat up as her body began to change, the tigress becoming a beautiful woman. But she was very ill and could no longer feed her children unless she got help. Struggling to her feet, she gently picked him and his brother up and pressed them to her chest, limping off towards the humans camp where they had set up not too far from her den to watch her. She had mated, secretly, all those months ago with the expedition leader. He was a kind lover, she thought with a small smile. It was not long now and she could feel herself growing weak. But lady luck seemed to be on her side, for her lover spotted her and quickly called for help, running over to catch her as she fainted. "Misaki! Your burning up... Why didn't you come to me?!" Cradling her limp form, he quickly rushed her back to their makeshift village.

By the end of the day she was stable, but asleep. Isshin, the leader, had discovered the two cubs held in her arms and tears welled in his eyes as he looked at them sleeping now, pressed close to their mother. One as bright as the sun, his fur a bright traffic cone orange and as fluffy as a dandelion. He was extremely affectionate towards his father, purring and licking at his fingers as he rubbed a hand down his back. The other, white as snow with no striped to be seen. He had hissed at him at first, moving to stand (as best he could) over his smaller brother before giving in to the petting. A feisty one if Isshin had ever seen one. They brought a smile to his face as he held Misaki's hand, a gentle smile gracing beautiful features even in her sleep. Things would be OK.

Several years later

Ichigo clung to his mother's dress as she led him a and his brother up to the school, tears welling in cocoa eyes. After taking Misaki and the boys in, Isshin had flown them all back to his home town, Karakura, Japan. Misaki took to human life beautifully, despite having been a wild hybrid before. Now her boys were going on 6 and she had just had another pair of twins, both little girls who took after their father's breed and were house cats. She smiled at the thought of them, stepping into the school as she reached down to pet between triangular ears. "Now now, Ichigo. You'll love this school. Won't he, Shirosaki?" His older twin nodded, grinning manically at some errant students and sending them scampering away in fear. "Yes Ma. I'll protect em! Donchu worry bout us!" The albino cub stated proudly, jabbing a thumb at himself as he puffed out his chest. Ichigo whimpered, striped tail wrapping tightly around his legs in fear. Smiling good naturedly, his mother picked him up and headed to the front office before heading to their class, setting him down in front of the door. "Go on boys, I'll be right here." Kissing them both on the forehead, she gently coaxed them inside, smiling happily.

Ichigo clung to his brother as the teacher waved them in, smiling at the rest of the students. "Class, this is Shirosaki and Ichigo Kurosaki. Their twins, even though they have different breeds. Say hello." A loud chorus of greeting rose before the teacher looked down at the boys. "Shiro is what's known as a white tiger, though in his case, even his stripes are white. His particular breed is the Amur tiger, also known as Siberian tigers." The white haired boy puffed his chest out proudly, smirking. "Ichigo on the other hand is a more rare breed, the Bali tiger. There aren't many known Bali's left these days, so treat him kindly." The rest of the children called an affirmative, Ichigo daring to glance past his brother. Immediately his eyes locked with the brightest blue he had ever seen and he smiled widely at the boy they belonged to, walking over to him as his brother growled in irritation at the loss of his presence. "I... I like your eyes." He shyly whispered, the older panther hybrid grinning devilishly. "I like yours too, Ichigo." He purred, looking down at the boy. Ichigo felt his heart skip a beat, swallowing thickly as chocolate eyes stared up into aquamarine irises filled with amusement and curiosity. "What's your name?"

"Grimmjow Jeagerjaques, kitten. But you can call me Big Brother Grimm~"
