I'm back with a new chapter, I've been very tired lately from work to be honest so I haven't really bothered to try to write the chapter till around the time of whenever I post this. I don't like how the chapter turned out to be honest, I worked on it for a couple of days but I couldn't get it to come out like I wanted it to so I settled for this. Don't expect anything on the same level of writing as the last couple of chapters, so far I'd have to say for this story this chapter isn't my best work, so far.
I don't have much to say here but I do gotta give a shoutout to Beastgirl05 for leaving her review on my original story. I honestly didn't think that story would get any new reviews, especially one that would say that story was the "Best BleachxFairyTail Crossover story" I don't see it really. I'd have to say that "Into the Realm of Magic" by IIIIIIIIII or "Protector of the Fairies" by Takei Daloui are top contenders for that title. If you haven't read them you should definitely do that.
Anyway the Fairy Tail cast finally appear! It's been a long time since I've written any of them, like two years since I stopped with the original story so they're gonna be a little OoC so I apologize in advance. The same goes with Ichigo, Grimmjow, and Nelliel, the fact that so far I've managed to get them pretty close to themselves is a miracle in it of itself.
Enjoy the chapter

Chapter 6 The Panthers Scent
"So this is where Fairy Tail is located? I wasn't expecting it to be surrounded by a huge town." Ichigo said as he overlooked the town in his soul reaper form with his body over his right shoulder. To his sides were Grimmjow on his right, and Nelliel on his left. He turned to see Nelliel eye the big town with a thinking expression on her face.
The town seemed to be have a western style to it and had a series of large roads that split the town both vertically and horizontally. In the center of town was a large building that seemed to appear to be a church. It has three large rivers that connect into one river to the far left side of the town that leads into the humongous lake that sits behind the town. The main road appears to be the road that splits the town down the middle. The main road seemed to lead to a decorative building on the shore of the lake and the edge of town.
"Judging from the amount of signatures gathered at the edge of this town, it's safe to assume that's where Fairy Tail is." Nelliel said as she sensed around the town and could sense a several large signatures gathered together in the building at the shore of the lake.
"Do you think they have a way for us to get back to our world?" Ichigo asked as he got back into his body dusting himself off.
"In a world where 'mages' exist, you'd think they have a way to traverse between worlds." Grimmjow said with a bored expression on his face. Nelliel looked at Grimmjow and could see the anger from the day before hiding behind his bored expression in his eyes.
She looked away from him and focused on the task ahead. Nelliel lowered her spiritual pressure to a near undetectable level, Grimmjow following right after her. "Remember Ichigo, all you have to do is wonder around this guild and see what you gather about them." Nelliel said as she got into a crouching position.
"Even you should be able to not screw this up Kurosaki." Grimmjow said as he put his hands in his pockets. Ichigo gave him a scowling look then let out a small sigh before he started walking into the town.
"The only thing that could cause this to go wrong is you draw any attention to yourself Grimmjow." Ichigo said from over his shoulder heading towards main road of the town.
The blue haired man clicked his tongue with some annoyance but didn't say anything. Before he could leave to do his part of the plan he felt a hand on his shoulder knowing full well who it belonged to.
"If you want to keep that hand I suggest you keep to yourself from now on." Grimmjow said as he jerked his shoulder from Nelliel's grip with a deep scowl on his face.
"Grimmjow can you put aside your personal feelings for Ulquiorra till we get back to Hueco Mundo so Ichigo can get back home to his family?" The green haired beauty asked in an almost sympathetic tone.
"For someone who wondered the endless desert of Hueco Mundo and know how difficult it is to survive, you gotta stop acting like you're above everyone else. You're a hollow I think it's time you start acting like who you really are." Grimmjow said turning away from her and disappearing followed by a buzzing noise.
Nelliel was left wide eyed by his response. "How can I make you understand you don't have to be that animal you once were in the past?" She asked herself before she disappeared from sight with the same buzzing.
On the other side of town
After a while Ichigo reached the building at the edge of town where he could sense some large signatures gathered inside. 'It's a good thing my body lowers my spiritual pressure to low levels when I enter it. The training I received from the Royal Guard also allows me to nearly be invisible to everyone if they're not looking for me.' Ichigo thought to himself as he stared at the building before him.
The building had three floors, with each floor smaller than the floor below it. The roofs for each floor consisted of long arched tiles lined up one after the other with simple protrusions jutting upwards on the buildings angles. On the highest roof, topping off the building was a simple, round and pointed dome. A flagpole sat on top of the point on the dome with the symbol of the guild on the flag. The middle roof housed a large banner the same symbol on it held by a pair of vertical poles. The windows were pentagonal in shape and each had stylized hearts visible on the frame of each window which covered each floor. The entrance of the building had a similar shape to the dome sitting at the top of the building, above the entrance was the guild's name engraved with a stylized heart protruding above it with a pair of fairies flanking each side of the sign.
"It doesn't seem like they're very subtle about who they are." Ichigo said with a deadpan look on his face. As he was about to enter the inside something hit his senses. Turning around he could see someone walking towards him with giant horn about twice the size of their body in one hand.
'Who is that? Are they part of Fairy Tail? From what I can sense their power alone is about as high as the combined power inside the building. Am I gonna have to fight them?' Ichigo thought to himself as the person stopped before him still holding the giant horn in one hand over head.
The person in front of him was a young woman with long bright scarlet hair, brown eyes, and a skin tone similar to his own. They wore a set of armor on their upper body, metal gauntlets on their forearms, shoulder plates and a breastplate. The woman had a blue skirt and black boots that reached to her knees. She seemed to have a slender body and Ichigo could tell she was well endowed just from her breastplate.
As the last thought crossed his mind his face started to turn red, causing him to quickly turned around confusing the women standing behind him.
"Is there something I can help you with?" The woman asked him with a curious look on her face. This prompted Ichigo to turn back around to answer her question.
"Are you a member of Fairy Tail?" Ichigo asked her with a straight face, leaving no trace that he was blushing earlier.
"Indeed, I am Erza Scarlet." The woman answered now identifying as Erza.
"Ichigo Kurosaki, I'm here because I'm interested in seeing what kind of place this Fairy Tail is." Ichigo said as he pointed a thumb at the door.
"Than allow me to welcome you to our guild." Erza said as she opened the door then began to walk inside and having no trouble getting the giant horn inside.
"Seems nice enough." Ichigo said as he followed after her.
As he got inside he could see that it resembled mainly a large lunch hall and consisted of mainly wood. It had several long wooden tables with benches stretched along its length with a bar positioned at the end of the tables. He could see a board on the wall next to the bar with sheets of paper covering it.
Just as Ichigo had finished taking in his surroundings he noticed that everyone in the building was trembling with terrified expressions on their faces, all looking at Erza.
"Is the master here?" Erza asked out loud but to no one specifically dropping the horn on the ground.
"Welcome back! He's at the masters meeting." Ichigo could hear someone yell out from the bar. "I see..." Erza said as she closed her eyes.
"Hey Erza what's up with that giant horn?" A random member asked her from a table not too far from her.
"Oh this? It's a gift from the townspeople, it's from the monster I had subdued so I decided to take it as a souvenir." Erza said as she put a resting hand on the horn.
'Subdue in what way?' Ichigo thought to himself with a sweatdrop.
"Anyway I've heard that someone has been causing trouble lately, and even if the master forgives your actions I won't." Erza said with a strict tone causing the atmosphere to become more tense.
"Speaking of which I actually came here to talk to someone about a fire in a port town not far from here." Ichigo said interrupting whatever Erza was going to talking about.
"I had heard about the fire in Hargeon from a couple days ago as well. I think I know who the culprit is as well." Erza said as she turned her sights to three people standing next to each other with more terrified looks than everyone else in the guild.
There was a young women with shoulder length blonde hair with small patch of hair tied with a blue ribbon to the right in the form of a ponytail. She had brown eyes, she was of fair height, has a curvaceous body with a big bust. She wore a white collared sleeveless shirt with a blue cross in the middle of the shirt, it had a blue trim. She had a blue skirt and knee high brown boots. On her belt was hanging she had several keys that varied from gold to silver on her right and a whip with a heart shaped end on her left.
Next to her was a young man in black underwear with spiky black hair. He has dark blue eyes, his body was tone and muscular. He was taller than the woman next to him, about as tall as Ichigo himself. He wore a silver necklace that resembled a sword or a cross. He had the guild's symbol on his right pectoral in a dark blue color.
Ichigo noticed that the blonde woman had the same symbol on the back of her right hand with a pink color instead. He than noticed that the same symbol was on the guy next to the black haired guy.
The symbol was positioned on the right shoulder and colored red. The young man had pink spiky hair, a slightly tan skin tone, black eyes. He had a lean and muscular body about as tall as the black haired guy. He wore a white scarf with a scale-pattern. A sleeveless, gold-trimmed, black waist coat that was left open exposing his bare chest. On his left wrist he had thick black wristband. He had a black, gold-trimmed cloth around his waist held up by a brown belt with an oval shaped silver buckle. He had white knee-length trousers with black ribbon ties and black open toed sandals.
As Erza walked towards the three, Ichigo could only think how Erza seemed different before coming inside.
The pink haired man was starting to sweat profusely as Erza walked. "Well you see Erza I heard a rumor about a salamander being there and I thought it could've been Igneel so I went to check it out with Happy." The pink haired guy said as he seemed to be shrinking under Erza's gaze.
"We didn't find anything about Igneel but we did manage to stop Bora from trafficking young girls into slavery." A blue cat with pink ears, a white tipped tail and a green pouch tied around its neck said, as it spoke up.
"THAT CAT CAN TALK?!" Ichigo blurted out without thinking causing everyone to look at him.
"AYE!" The cat responded as a pair of feathery wings appeared from its back allowing it to fly up to Ichigo's face.
"IT CAN FLY TOO?!" Ichigo was further taken aback by this development.
"AYE!" The cat said as it brought one of its arms up as it answered his question.
'I probably should be use to a talking cat by this point but I'm definitely not use to a flying cat!' Ichigo thought to himself as the cat had flown to being in front of Erza.
"Back to the topic at hand. I must congratulate Natsu and Happy for helping out some unfortunate women from getting sold into slavery." Erza said with a smirk on her face and a tone that made the tension in the air slightly more bearable.
"But I can't let Natsu go unpunished for burning down most of Hargeon in the process." Erza said causing the tension to return full force. "Do you have anything to say for yourself Natsu?" Erza said as she got in face of the one Ichigo presumed was Natsu.
"Ehhh..." Was the only thing could escape Natsu's mouth as he was sweating bullets.
"Lucy here helped us take down Bora with her magic" The cat interrupted putting Erza's attention on the blonde.
"LEAVE ME OUT OF THIS YOU STUPID CAT!" the blonde yelled as Erza closed in on her.
"So Fairy Tail managed to get a new member out of the ordeal." Erza said as she looked Lucy up and down thinking on what to do.
Something clicked in Ichigo's mind as he was listening to the conversation. He looked at Natsu and managed to get his attention.
"You were the one that caused that fire in that town?" Ichigo asked him.
"Of course flamebrain here is the only one to leave behind all that destruction while trying to help." The black haired guy next to Natsu answered for him.
"What'd you say stripper?" Natsu said as he got into the other guys face.
"You heard me! or did all those flames finally melt what little brain you had left?" He threw back as he got in Natsu's face. Before it could get any further Erza slammed her fist unto the two knocking them to the ground.
"That's enough from you two, we have a guest now behave. And Gray put on some clothes." Erza said as bumps started to form on their heads. Ichigo learned the name of the near naked black haired guy through Erza's actions and words.
"Yes ma'am" The two said from the floor as Erza looked back over to Ichigo.
'I don't think these people will be of any help getting anyone into another world.' Ichigo thought to himself as he watched ever the whole thing go down with a sweatdrop.
Before anyone could say anything more Natsu shot up from the ground sniffing the air around him. "What's the matter Natsu?" The cat asked him as he flew over to him.
"I smell something, it reeks of something bad and its close too, it's coming from outside." Natsu said as he ran towards the door. As he made it outside he continued sniffing the air. "Happy!" Natsu said he looked up.
"AYE!" The cat now identified to Ichigo as Happy flew onto Natsu's back, grabbing on and flew him into the air. As everyone else made it outside to see what Natsu was smelling, Ichigo sensed around to and got an idea of what Natsu might have picked up on.
'This isn't good at all!' Ichigo thought to himself as he looked at the roof of the nearby building as Natsu floated in the air thanks to Happy and had his hands on fire surprising Ichigo.
"Who are you?" Natsu asked as the someone stepped into view for the people below. All they could catch a glimpse of was a white jacket it and blue hair.
"That's actually surprising, I didn't think you'd be able to find me with how much I was hiding my presence." Grimmjow said as a small smirk had made it's way onto his face.
"I have a good nose." Natsu said as he glared at Grimmjow.
"Is that so? What do I smell like?" Grimmjow asked the hovering pink man in front of him as a smile was now in place on his face.
"Like death" Natsu said as his face showed clear disgust at what he as smelling.
"So much for the plan" Ichigo said as he could feel Grimmjow's excitement from the ground below.
AN: Like I said at the beginning at the chapter the characters were gonna be a OoC, I tried for so long to try to get the chapter how I wanted it which it didn't happen so by the time I got to the end I was too tired to do much else so this chapter is just bad in my opinion. I know for the next chapter I'll really try to make it a good chapter especially since it'll involve a fight scene.
I know I'm gonna get some things about how the fairy tail cast was written but I'm gonna be honest here getting back into writing them will be the most difficult thing for me to pull it off since it's been so long honestly. I think that's all I gotta say for the time being so till next time Maniac out.
