"Mi Padre!" Ichigo yelled to his father.
Ichigo Jaegerjaquez was 4 years old now and had been living in Hueco Mundo since his father had found him. Currently Ichigo was running towards his father from their den. Wrapping his arms around his neck, Ichigo giggled as he swung down to sit in front of his dad. He looked into his father's big teal cat eyes, finding them filled with love.
"How was your hunt Mi Padre?" Ichigo asked.
Grimmjow laughed at his hijo's eagerness. For the past 4 years he'd looked after the cub, nursing him, holding him, bathing him, and loving him. He didn't know when he'd become so soft but it was only towards his cub. When other hollows tried to take him from Grimmjow they'd all died painful deaths. No one would take his 'cachorro pecioso' away from him.
"It was good mi cachorro pecioso, I got you something."
Ichigo's eyes lit up. "Really?! What is it? Tell me, tell me."
Grimmjow laughed as his cub jumped up and down in excitement. He loved to see the hybrid's excitement. Grimmjow hoped his hybrid cub would like what he'd gotten him. Grimmjow had recently gone to the human world in search of soul's and had seen a bow filled with human stuff. When Grimmjow had knocked the box over he'd seen a small blue stuffed cat with blue eyes like him as well as a fine silk red kimono with a blue obi. Also there was a black over coat with an orange sash that closed it up. Grimmjow felt a grin spread over his hollow face. His cachorro would love this, especially the stuffy.
Grimmjow grabbed the bag on his back that was holding the new clothes and stuffy, and set it on the ground next to his cub. Ichigo looked at the bag and was about to open it but stopped and looked at his 'father' with a pleading look in his eyes. Grimmjow nodded his head and Ichigo smiled and opened the bag.
Ichigo's eyes widened when he saw the stuffy that looked like his father. He picked it up and hugged it to his chest, snuggling into it. Grimmjow chuckled, Ichigo seemed to love his new stuffy.
"Ichigo, cub? There's more."
Ichigo took his head away from the stuffy's neck to look at his father then the bag. He put the stuffy down and looked into the bag again. His Padre was right. There was more! A new red kimono made of silk with a blue obi. Also there was black over coat with an orange sash.
Grimmjow wasn't ready for his son's sudden attack. When Ichigo launched himself at his father, Grimmjow wasn't at all ready for it. So they both landed on the sand.
"Thank you Daddy! I love it!" Ichigo squealed in happiness.
"I'm glad you like it cub." Grimmjow said, licking his cub's hair suddenly wanting to bathe his cub.
Ichigo giggled in response. He loved it when his father cleaned him. Being in Hueco Mundo guaranteed you to be dirty so a bathe was needed once and a while. Ichigo made a sweet murmuring sound in the back of his throat, turning his head so his father could clean his other side of his head. After a while he fell asleep in his Padre's big cat paws. Grimmjow nuzzled his cub's hair breathing in the strawberry sent. He picked up his cub and the bag in his mouth as well as grabbing the stuffy with his tail before walking towards their den. Putting his cub on the ground Grimmjow curled his body around him to provide him with warmth. Slowly he himself slipped into a half-like sleep. Hollows didn't really sleep or they'd be killed while doing so. This state allowed Grimmjow to rest but not sleep, he only appeared to be asleep. It worked like a charm. One time when Ichigo was 2, he'd tried to leave the den while Grimmjow was 'asleep' and had been caught. For three days Ichigo wasn't allowed to leave at all.
Grimmjow was aware that his cub was shifting in his sleep, still hugging the stuffy to his chest. Grimmjow aloud himself to rest and relax his body. He'd have to go hunting for Ichigo latter as well as himself. But that could wait till later, right now they needed rest.
