A group of slaves were led down stark white halls of Las Noches which were covered in delicately painted panthers. The slaves were then filed into a throne room where a panther sat in the throne. All stared in shook at the site until the door on the other side of the room slammed into the marble wall beside it. A teal haired man walked into the room, hands in the pockets of his lose black pants. The man disappeared suddenly only to appear before the man who had been leading the slaves.
Grimmjow's point of view
"You the keeper?" A keeper is basically the person who trains and sales slaves. I hissed, baring my fangs at the smaller man before me.
"Y-Yes sir" the keeper stuttered.
"Then do your thing I'm not in the mood to wait" I growled glaring down at the man.
"Y-Yes of course. The slaves on your left are the best trained and the ones on your righ-"I ignored the keeper in favor of scanning the line of slaves standing before me. All had a defeated look in their eyes or had their heads bowed in defeat but one of those bowed heads caught my attention. One of the slaves had bright orange hair that stuck out in all directions. His body position screamed "broken" but there was an air about him the said differently. Like all the other slaves the boy stood shirtless and in a pair of tight fitting pants that acted more like a second skin. The boy was relatively tall about six inches shorter than my six three. His body was thin but was all perfectly toned muscle. A smirk made its way onto my face before I turned toward my throne where a slick black panther sat.
"Pantera" the panther jumped down from my throne and sat beside me causing the keeper to stare in shock. "Start from the left and bite every one of them" My smirk widen as the keepers eyes did the same.
"Sir-"
"I'm testing them,, is that a problem" I grinned. Pantera continued to do as I asked biting each of the slaves in the order I stated.
"N-No sir" He stuttered.
"Get the fuck away from me you fucking cat!" Pantera growled, leaping at the now infuriated orange haired boy who crouched down just. Pantera soared over the boys head; turning faster than any slave I have ever seen the boy wrapped his strong arms around pantera's neck causing the feline to thrash in his arms only to get a body forced onto it's back in return.
"Kurosaki what do you think you're doing-"
"Boy release her" The boy stared at me as if I was insane. "She won't bite yo-"
"Like hell she won't!" The boy growled. Pantera froze. "Huh?"
"See she's done. I was testing you slaves."
"I'm no slave!" He shot back.
"Then why are you with a group of slaves?" I teased and he released Pantera in favor of launching himself at me only to suddenly collapse on the floor convulsing in pain.
"I'm sorry sir –"
"ENOUGH!" My voice boomed through the room. Everything went silent except for the boy convulsing on the floor. "Shut that off now!" The keeper clicked the button on his coat.
"Y-You…..bas…tar….d" The boy gasped.
"I will take him" I stated glaring at the keeper. I may like causing others pain but not that kind it fucks with the nerves. "And you will remove that collar" I ordered. The keeper clicked another button on his coat and the collar fell from the boy still curled in a ball on the floor. "Now leave" The keeper and his slaves hurried from the room.
Pantera sat beside the boy nuzzling the side of his face with her nose. The boy shifted, his hand moving shakily to pat pantera's head. "I'll be fine in a minute; I have the thing turned on for hours before." The boy shifted again trying to stand up only to have his legs give out.
"Maybe you should wait that minute." I joked, catching him before his face connected with the floor.
"Let go" The boy wiggled free of my hold only to stumble and have Pantera stand on her hind legs, her front paws on his chest to stop him from falling over again. "I'm fine." He pushed lightly on her head the get her off him. This time when he moved he was able to keep his balance. Pantera brushed her side against his leg, purring softly before sitting down next to him. "You attack me than act affectionately toward me?" Pantera nodded her head enthusiastic causing a small smile to forum on the boys face. "Weird cat" He laughed.
"What's your name?" I grinned walking toward him his chocolate brown eyes meant my cyan blue as he looked up from Pantera.
"Ichigo Kurosaki." I stopped in front of him a little too close for his comfort apparently since he took a cautious step back.
"Strawberry? I like it." His scowl returned before he launched himself at me.
"Don't fucking call me that!" He yelled throwing a punch at my face. I caught his fist and twisting his arm behind his back forced him on to his knees. He grunted as I forced his other arm that had lashed out toward my leg in a futile attempt to get me off of him behind his back.
"I would stop moving if I were you." He grunted again as he struggled to break free of my hold, I lead forward so my lips just barely brushed his ear causing Ichigo to flinch. "Listen carefully Ichigo. I can be nice believe it or not but I can and I will punish you whenever, however and for whatever reason I please. I'll tell you what I don't like when you do it, hum?" I purred tugging on his arms slightly until I got a mumbled fine in response. "Good, Pantera show him to the bath and grab him so new cloths, any that you like." I patted her softly on the head before she got on her hind legs and pushed on his back with her front paws.
"One sec Pantera." She stopped cocking her head to the said in confusion. "How does she know how to do all that stuff?"
"She's a smart Panther" Pantera bit into Ichigo's pants forcing him to follow her out of the room through a side door.
