Once Grimmjow entered the forest he felt…strange. Most people would be terrified, or at least a little scared about being here but no, the blunette felt…calm. "Hmm…weird," he muttered, continuing deeper into the jungle. Little did he know that certain tiger twins were following him.
Shiro looked over to Ichigo and telepathically spoke to him. 'Hey King, what are we gonna do 'bout this guy?' 'I don't know,' Ichigo replied, 'He hasn't broken any of the laws yet, so I suppose he's fine for now.' 'Something's off 'bout 'em though, don't ya feel it?' 'Ya, but as to what I'm just not sure.' The twins kept to the bush, making sure to remain hidden. The blunette went deeper and deeper into the forest and sure enough, he got lost. Man, Grimmjow thought, mentally slapping himself, I knew there was nothing here, why did I come?
Ichigo looked at his brother wide eyed, 'Did you hear that?' 'Ya, but…why? I thought only our kind could hear each other's thoughts.' 'I don't know, but I want you to go home…I'll keep an eye on him, got it?' Shiro looked at his brother, worry in his feline features, and nodded, 'I'll go, but call me if there's any trouble okay? I don't want my brother bein' killed by something stupid.' Ichi rolled his eyes and nodded his head. "God dammit! How the fuck do I get outta here?" the blunette shrieked, causing Ichigo to flinch at the sheer ferocity of his voice. 'Damn, this guy's loud enough to wake the dead,' Ichigo thought. Grimmjow stopped in his tracks and looked around, he then asked, "Who said that?"
The berry's eyes widened, 'He heard me?' "Ya I heard ya, and I still can…now where are you?" Grimm asked, getting impatient. 'You shouldn't be able to hear me though,' "But I can, so who are you?" 'I'm afraid I can't tell you that.' "And why the hell not?" the blunette growled, getting frustrated, the voice he was hearing was not anyone's he's ever heard before, so who-or rather, what was it?
'I can't tell you because it's against the law; even talking to you like this is… I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you better get going, and don't come back, for your own safety.' "I'm not some lil' brat that needs protecting! I can do that on my own! Now just show me where you're at, at least!" 'Hmm…I don't know…no, I'm sorry, but I can't.' Grimmjow huffed and sat against a tree, at least he could kill some time talking with whoever he was talking with. "You can trust me-I know how to keep a secret," he mumbled. 'I wish I could trust you, but the laws of my people forbid it.' Grimmjow just noticed that the voice he heard was very soothing, almost like a brother or parent caring for its young, and he liked it-not only because it was soothing, but also because it was sexy.
"Wait," Grimm said, coming to realization, "You said the 'laws of your people,' does that mean…are you one of those Children of the Wild I've heard so much about?" Ichigo stared at the human; wide eyed…he couldn't possibly continue to answer any more questions unless he wanted to be caught! He took a step back on his paws, only to flinch at the sound of a branch snapping. "Found ya," Grimmjow smirked, walking in the direction of the noise. Ichi froze, 'No! Don't come any closer or else!' "Or else what? I already know you're there, so there's no point in trying to hide," the blunette retorted, moving closer to the red head's hiding place.
Once he got to the bush the cat was hiding in, Grimmjow moved some of the branches out of the way, only to gasp at the sight he was met with. What he saw was not a boy, no, but a man-and a sexy one at that! The boy was sitting upright, warm chocolate brown eyes wide in shock; he was toned in color and had a lithe frame-he was obviously able to take care of himself. What surprised Grimmjow more was that he had cat-like ears and a tail. "Y-you are one of…so…so the legends…they're true?" he asked, shock evident in his voice. The neko just continued to stare at him as though Grimm had grown a second head; but what really shocked him was what the blunette said next. "Do all of you look this beautiful?"
Ichigo snapped out of his daze and said in that smooth, baritone voice, "Y-you can see me? You can see my human form?" Grimmjow nodded slowly, "Ya, why? Is that bad?" Ichigo groaned and thought, 'this is bad…I'm gonna be in soo much trouble for this…' "Trouble for what?" the blunette questioned, tilting his head to the side. Ichigo sighed and stood-revealing his height of 5'9"-and said, "You're not supposed to be able to see this form, only my mate is, as well as my family…and sense you can see me..." "I'm your mate." Grimmjow finished, receiving a nod in response. "But that can't be right; it's not very often that our mates are human!" Ichigo muttered, his tail flicking in aggravation. He stood for a while, scowling in thought.
Ichigo's eyes widened when he finally came to the answer. "Duh!" he said while face palming, "That's why you seemed different!" "Wha?" Grimm said, wondering what the teen was talking about. "Earlier, I sensed there was something different about you, didn't you feel it too? When you came into the forest did you feel strange?" the berry asked, looking at Grimm with curious eyes. "Well, ya, I did…it was weird, it felt like…I don't know…like I belonged here." The blunette answered, feeling calmer around the boy. Said boy smiled softly and said, "You were meant to be with us, but I guess your animal spirit didn't wake up."
Hearing this, Grimmjow promptly fainted.
When he came to, he was surprised to see the oranget again, only this time, the boy was sitting against the wall of some sort of housing they were in. "Ugh…what happened?" he groaned. "You fainted after I answered your question." Ichigo answered nonchalantly. There was a small fire illuminating the cavern, and allowing Grimmjow to see better. When the blunette looked around, he realized that he was in a small cave. When he recalled the conversation yesterday, he looked over to the red head and said, "Ya know, after everything we said yesterday, we never did introduce ourselves."
Ichigo closed his eyes and smirked, shaking his head, instead he responded with, "You pass out and when you wake up, you want proper introductions? You're a strange one, you know that?" Grimmjow smirked and said, "You're the strange one, you're one of the freaking Children of the Wild." Ichigo smiled and nodded in agreement, "Yup, I guess I am stranger than you…my name's Ichigo, Ichigo Kurosaki." Grimmjow's eyes widened, he just met the Guardian of the Children! "Grimmjow, Grimmjow Jeagerjaques." Ichigo nodded, smiling at the blunette saying, "Nice to meet you Grimmjow."
Seeing the boy smile like that made Grimmjow's heart flutter for some reason. "So," the blunette said, "you said that my spirit animal didn't wake up…how do I fix that?" Ichigo looked at him, taken aback by the question. "Uh…well, do you honestly and full heartedly want to become one of us? Because once you do, there's no going back, and you'll have to stay here for the rest of your life." Ichigo answered.
"And if I don't?" Grimmjow asked, considering the possibilities. Ichigo sighed and said sadly, "I'd have to take you prisoner or kill you." "Why?" "Because our people don't want anyone to know of our human forms or names, and by having someone find out and live…that can put the whole civilization at risk…that's why I told you yesterday that I couldn't tell you…well, it's too late for that now." Grimmjow grabbed Ichigo's chin and lifted it so they were face to face. The blunette said, "I'd much rather stay willingly," before sealing the gap between them with his lips.
