A/N: Thank you for continuing to read Tiger's Wish On the Moon. This story is oddly enough moving along nicely and i'm very happy with it. Your thoughts on this story are also apprciated.
Bleach and its respective characters belong to Kubo-sensei and not myself. Kaguya hime is an ancient Japanese fairy tale that I do not claim to own either. And just recently I have realized i never gave ownership to Nanao Boha for her one shot Love Snatcher that inspired this story.
Anyway I don't own of the things listed above. And make no money doing this. It's just for pure expression of an odd idea and to help me grow as a writer.
A/N: end
Chapter 7: An Attack from All Sides
Grimmjow groaned as he tried to roll over. His ears were very close to his head and he snarled as something touched him. 'Fucking dogs.' he growled turning quickly and swatting two wolves away from his rear end. He looked up and saw Ulquiorra and Hichigo up in a tree. All he had to do was get rid of these mangy bastards. He growls as the two wolves he'd hit got back up growling at him. Both wolves snarled as two more circled around Grimmjow's back side.
Grimmjow felt the wolves enclosing on him. He did not like the idea of dying by wolves slaughter. He was so much better then that and had so much more pride.
Help is coming. Hold on a bit longer! A voice cheered in Grimmjow's head. He looked around confused by the woman's voice. He looked around wide eyed just in time to catch an assault from the left throwing the wolf down that came for his throat and he bit the dog in the neck then moved a bit away from the tree.
The others howled and rushed at Grimmjow.
He backed up only to be hit from the side and knocked to the ground.
He felt them biting at his neck. he felt more and more bites coming in contract with his body. He rolled suddenly and turned to stand letting out a loud roar that echoed off into the jungle.
The wolves continued their encroachment on Grimmjow then paused as the sound carried back on the wind.
A deep roar carried from the west and it was echoed by others.
The wolves looked at Grimmjow then took off leaving their wounded behind to fend for themselves.
Grimmjow turned forms and slowly walked over to the tree Ulquiorra had been holding Hichigo in. "Yeah can come down it's safe." He said pressing against the tree and passing out.
Ulquiorra waited in the tree holding an unconscious Hichigo in his arms as help arrived.
Ichigo was first to break through the brush followed by several males. They spread half to Ulquiorra to get Hichgo out of the tree then Ichigo and two others went to Grimmjow.
Grimmjow was badly wounded bites to his neck and chest with some substantial bleeding.
"We have to get him home quickly." Ichigo ordered as two males went to carry Grimmjow back as quickly as they could while another ran ahead to warn a healer of Grimmjow's condition.
As they departed Uloquiorra came out of the tree still supporting Hichigo by himself. He didn't seem quite willing to let go of the younger male.
Ichigo walked over and inspected his brother.
Ulquiorra gave a warning growl causing Ichigo to back off a bit. Ulquiorra appeared on high guard now that Grimmjow had been taken away.
Ichigo told two others to collect the surviving wolves and take them back to the village and that he and Ulquiorra would be going ahead.
Ichigo kept his distance as he flanked Ulquiorra back to the village. He had to keep his space since Ulquiorra much like Grimmjow marched to the beat of his own drum and had more fighting skill. He could end up lamed if he decided to cross Ulquiorra.
Hichigo moaned out as he laid on Ulquiorra's back.
The feline stopped for a moment as if debating something then continued forward.
Back at the temple Urahara was helping lift Masaki on a bed. "Are you sure he's dead? Bring him here."
The other lion motioned with his hands. "Akuron says he greeted them at the temple entrance and the maltese was dead. To spare the family grief he said just to dispose of the body."
Renji growled. "Dead or not he deserves respect. I will deal with Grimmjow's remains you tell my father to meet me with Akuron at the temple entrance."
The other lion nodded and ran off quickly.
Renji looked at Shuuhei and Masaki once before heading out.
Akuron had never liked Grimmjow.
Not far from the temple Grimmjow staggered to his feet letting out a weak growl. His injuries were being exacerbated by the attack he was receiving from the elder lion Akuron.
Akuron laughed. "I can finally erase all of that evil wench from this world." he approached Grimmjow ready to kill him changing forms to his feline self.
Grimmjow hissed and readied himself for the attack. he braced himself for a hit as Akuron lunged at him but nothing hit.
Grimmjow opened an eye to see Renji standing over him while Isshin battled it out with his father across the field.
Renji seeing Grimmjow's wounds instantly went to lick them as saliva washed over the wounds they slowly began to heal. Once all the wounds closed Grimmjow's eyes drifted shut. He was in a lot of pain. Renji changed forms and sat in the field petting his brother's head. His injuries were great but he would hopefully make a full recovery.
Isshin threw Akuron to the ground and stood over him. Once Akuron got back on his feet he ran with Isshin giving a close chase. They took off into the underbrush and out of sight.
They had not been sitting in the field long when Ulquiorra carrying Hichigo came up a mountain path and into view. Ulquiorra's green eyes seemed to pierce Renji as he made his way over. He snarled at Renji and pushed him away from Grimmjow. He lowered HIchigo to lay next to Grimmjow then continued to push Renji away.
Renji changed forms and stood higher then Ulquiorra being tigers are large and stronger then pumas.
Ulquiorra did not back down but instead bore his fangs at Renji. It was odd behavior to say the least. Ulquiorra was acting like Renji was some sort of competition. This is how he had once treated Hichigo.
Don't be angry with him. A voice gently soothed Renji's growing anger. Leave him alone for now. Go back to the temple and tell the others Grimmjow is alive. Go back to your own mate and leave Ulquiorra to his.
Ulquiorra hissed as Renji slowly turned to leave.
Just as Renji turned to go he turned back and pinned Ulquiorra just to show he was still the more dominant male then left back towards the temple. He stopped and alerted two guards to await Isshin's return and to stay near Ulquiorra.
Renji made his way through the temple pausing when he heard Isshin's roar echo from the forest. His ears went down and after a moment continued forward. He would speak with his father later about that matter.
He slowly made his way back to the make shift medical room where Shuuhei was now awake and speaking quietly with Urahara.
'That can't be right.' Renji's ears twitched at the desperation in Shuuhei's voice. Renji's left ear twitched. ' He wouldn't-'
'I didn't say he would do anything. I said you must be prepared for something like that should it happen.' Urahara's voice replied.
Renji's left ear twitched as he walked a bit faster. He turned into the arch way leading to the room and paused.
Urahara was examining Shuuhei's abdomen and they had been speaking quietly.
Both human's attention was on him. "Grimmjow is not dead." He said quietly after changing forms. "Akuron appears to have deceived us in hopes of killing Grimmjow and blaming it on the wolves." He explained quietly. "Akuron was chased off by father and Grimmjow is in need of medical assistance in the field near the temple's east entrance. Leave me with Shuuhei and go tend to him. I will tell mother when she awakens."
Urahara nodded leaving quickly to assist Grimmjow.
Once the blonde human was gone Renji walked forward and gently touched Shuuhei's face.
Shuuhei brought his hand up to meet Renji's.
"Are you feeling better?" The red head asked moving to sit on the cot his hip gently resting against Shuuhei's.
Shuuhei nodded gently rubbing his cheek against the warmth of Renji's hand.
Renji smiled at him. "That makes me happy." He said using his other hand to ghost over Shuuhei's abdomen. He pulled his hand away quickly when he noted the pained expression on Shuuhei's face.
"It's still very painful?" He sighed quietly comforting Shuuhei.
Shuuhei nodded then as if suddenly remembering opened the balled fist at his side. He brought his hand up and showed the object in his hand to Renji.
Renji looked at the silver fan shaped ornament. He slowly removed his hand from Shuuhei's abdomen and took it out of his hand. "For me?" he asked observing the hair piece.
Shuuhei nodded. "It seemed like something you'd like." He said quietly not sure how to explain he'd gotten it while dreaming.
Renji positioned the kanzashi in his hair and smiled at Shuuhei. "thank you. I accept your gift." He leaned forward pressing his lips to Shuuhei's.
A brief shock passed between the two of them. It seemed to spark Renji onward as he pushed Shuuhei back and continued to attack his mouth.
Shuuhei leaned back down and watched as Renji straddled his hips before attacking his mouth again. Shuuhei was shocked by the intensely sweet taste that was Renji.
Renji leaned back to breath and Shuuhei found himself pulling the red head back down for another kiss.
Renji did not object and returned full force to try and dominate the human's mouth. Even though he knew Shuuhei's abdomen was injuried he couldn't help himself. Renji rocked his hips slowly against Shuuhei's.
Shuuhei groaned into Renji's mouth as he body seemed to have a will of its own began rocking against the red head.
Renji's eyes were clouded with lust. He leaned down and panted heavily in Shuuhei's ear. "Now..." He said quietly. "Let's ..." He wasn't able to form a coherent sentence as he began to undo Shuuhei's pants feeling the human's responsive organ.
Shuuhei let out a grown as his hand went to meet Renji's "Ah... that's..."
"Will you?" Renji asked looking at Shuuhei with this suddenly uneasy look. "Cubs are-" he stopped and turned suddenly.
"Renji what is it you think you're doing?" Came a calm yet commanding tone as a hand moved back a long strand of black hair into place and a pair of steel grey eyes seemed to pierce through the seated pair.
Renji turned instantly from Shuuhei and his ears went down in a submissive position. "I.."
