My reaction upon finding the challenge: "." Uhm. I'll give it a shot.
This is a PM challenge, if you decide to take it, contact ShiroHollow96. I'm sure he'd be excited to read it.
Due to not actually ever finishing Bleach (Only got to meet Kitty... erm. *Cough cough* Shinji.) and a very confusing conversation where we talked about flames, kik, teenage paranoia, phones, Sailor Moon, NCIS, gender, and PMs coming in at the same time, we settled down with Hollow powers for Ichigo and Shikai/Bankai for Grimmjow for now. Until I get more information.
Chapter 1 To Namimori
All Ichigo remembered was a fighting the Quincy king and the next thing he knew, he was having a hazy chat with the Soul King along with Grimmjow and two other people. A flash of white light and rainbows. Then pain, a whole lot of it.
He felt like he was being boiled, his bones felt like they were shrinking. Well, pain was something he was used to. He heard screaming, he didn't know if it was his. There seemed to be more than one.
When he woke, the first thing he saw was white. A LOT of white. Urgh, hospitals. He really preferred his family clinic.
Ichigo rolled over in an attempt to get out of the bed and find out what was going on. Emphasis on attempt.
His vision was covered by light blue. His nose and mouth were covered by cat hair. He jerked back.
A panther cub. A light blue panther cub.
Ichigo only knew of one cat with that colored hair. "Gr-Grimmjow?" he asked uncertainly.
The cub groggily opened an eye to look at him grumpily. "What?" it asked.
The cub that was apparently Grimmjow had a high-pitched voice comparable to that of a five-year old girl.
Ichigo stared in shock for a moment as his mind caught up, once it did, he burst out laughing like there was no tomorrow, tears gathering at the edges of his eyes. He clutched his sides in the pain of laughing too much.
Right up to the point Grimmjow bit his leg. To which the carrot headed shinigami yelped in pain.
"You're going to pay for that!" Ichigo yelled as he lunged at the cub, who merely jumped out of the way.
"Not while you're in that state, brat."
"What the hell are you talking about! I'm completely fine! And who're you callin' a brat!"
Grimmjow hummed. "Notice anything different?"
Ichigo looked around. Now that he pointed it out, everything was a lot bigger than he was used to.
...
?
Ichigo looked into the (badly placed) mirror behind the bed. What he saw was a child looking back at him. A seven year old orange haired child.
...
"What. The. Fuck?!" he bit out.
Grimmjow laughed. "Least I'm not a kid."
"I think I'm better off as a kid than a blue panther cub with the voice of a female toddler." Ichigo retorted.
"What are you going on about?!" Grimmjow growled out.
"You clearly haven't seen a mirror." Ichigo said with a grin. He picked up Grimmjow, who struggled in his grasp, and brought him up to a mirror. Grimmjow stopped struggling and stared in horror.
"MMMMRRRRRYYYYAAAAAAOOOWWWWW!"
It seems that the noise they made finally caused someone to check up on them.
A nurse came and she screamed. "PUT THAT THING DOWN!"
"What'd you just call me?! You did not just call me a thing! Let me go, Kurosaki, I need to rip her apart!"
Ichigo froze. Talking panther cub. (Probably) Normal woman. Not a good mix.
Luckily it seemed she couldn't understand him. It must be only the ones with high spiritual energy who could understand the animal changed people... arrancar... things... come to think of it, what category did they fall under?
A sigh of relief escaped Ichigo and he held onto Grimmjow tighter. He muttered an order for the cub to calm down. Not that Grimmjow listened. He glared at the woman and continued hissing. At least he stopped struggling.
Ichigo wondered...
He scratched the back of Grimmjow's ear. The light blue kitten melted and began purring.
The woman seemed to snap out of her stupor. "P-put it down, b-boy." she said.
"No." Ichigo said. Making sure he seemed like a stubborn child. No one would believe it if he said he was really a high school teen, after all. At worst, he'd be thrown in a mental hospital and at best, they'd think that it was nothing but a child's rambling of an imaginary world. Until he left the hospital, he'd pretend to be a child. After all, knowing him, he'd be unable to keep up that rouse for long.
"Kid, that thing is dangerous." a doctor said from behind the nurse.
He scratched the underside of the cub's chin. "Jaquez won't hurt anyone who doesn't annoy him."
Grimmjow gave Ichigo an irritated look that was soon forgotten in favor of the scratching.
Ichigo snickered. If only he'd known this about Grimmjow during while they went to save Orihime.
"What's your name, kid." asked a different doctor who was eyeing Grimmjow warily. Grimmjow, however, was sulking.
"Ichigo." he replied shortly.
"How old are you," he asked.
"Don't know." Ichigo replied.
The interrogation continued with Ichigo answering the majority of the questions with don't know. It would have to do until he had a chance to talk to Grimmjow about what the soul king had said. He vaguely recalled something about different worlds...
A week later and Ichigo and Grimmjow were left at an orphanage. One they left as soon as night fell. Ichigo felt a bit bad about that but there was no way he was staying at an orphanage, they'd forget him soon anyway.
Now, a month later, Ichigo and Grimmjow were wandering the around the Japan so like their own but not.
They had made sense that the world was a different one and that the Soul King had sent them there for some reason, but neither remembered why.
Ichigo was unsure of why Grimmjow hadn't left but grateful for the familiar company.
Sort of.
The two fell into a familiar banter as they reached a town called Namimori.
They walked around the town of Namimori, both dirty and slightly hungry. Both were used to it so it didn't bother either of them. As it turned out, when there wasn't much to worry about, Ichigo could be very manipulative.
He played an innocent child with a pet cat that had been kicked out of an orphanage because someone had been allergic to cats. Oddly enough, no one realized that Grimmjow was a panther not a cat. No one even commented on his odd coloring.
When Grimmjow pointed this out, Ichigo shrugged. "Most Japanese don't care for oddities like that, it's the human physical oddities that get to them. Not anything like disorders but more like hair and eye colors. Things like spiritual energy are brushed off for the most part. We're just like that."
"Weird humans." had been the feline's reply.
Ichigo would clean the dishes and some rooms and slip away with Grimmjow during the night.
Neither of them knew, but it had been on the news. If a strange orphan with an odd cat approaches your house, take them in, you'll get good luck. However, if you do it with the thought of greedily getting luck, bad things will befall.
Not an hour of walking around Namimori and Ichigo had seen a kid being bullied.
An image of the same thing happening to Yuzu had Ichigo taking down the bullies without a second thought.
When Ichigo got a better view of the kid, he realized it was a boy, one two years younger than his physical age. "Oi, kid, you okay?"
"Tsu-kun is fine." the apparent 'Tsu-kun' said with tears in his eyes.
"You're getting soft, Kurosaki." Grimmjow stated.
"Hiee! The cat talks!" Tsu-kun yelped. Ichigo blinked in surprise.
Grimmjow looked at the kid in a new light. "Brat, you can understand me? Heh, that's interesting. What's your name?"
"Sawada Tsunayoshi!" he yelped again.
If I got anything wrong on the Bleach side, I haven't watched Bleach in a LONG time. If I got anything wrong on the KHR side, send someone to make sure I haven't committed suicide.
1,610 I know it's super short, but someone is impatient.
ShiroHollow96, I hope you don't mind. I'm pretty sure KHR and Bleach don't really have pairings, so I'll BS them a bit. As for the other two, you know who one is but can you guess the other?
To the readers, I'll post the next chapter when one of you guess who the two are. Good Luck~. (Minimum time is one month. I still have my life and other stories, after all.)
