Chapter two! Still haven't drew Melati and Manami yet ^^' sketch is there though, mya enjoy, chap 2

The lynx and the Panther.

"There all set, hopefully it wasn't all too bad, maah I guess the bandaging looks screwed up since I don't know where to bind them" Melati laughed nervously.

"Che" Grimmjow looked away dissatisfied, knowing a blind human being treated him, a woman on top of that. "Why did you help in the first place, woman"

Melati looked surprised. "Why you ask…" Melati put away the aid kit. "Hm, I don't know I felt like it" She smiled. "Anyway, Grimmjow why are you here, if I may ask."

"Like the hell I am going to tell" Grimmjow answered still annoyed.

Melati sighed "Well when those wounds are healed up, you can leave anytime from this place, but as long as you are wounded, I can't let you go outside."

"Don't fucking underestimate me, human! Even with these wounds I can kill you easily!"

Manami jumped in front of Melati, growling back to the panther, not showing any fear. Melati petted Manami, thanking for her concern.

"You know, I presume you are one of the strongest of your kind, but so is my Manami, the last of her own clan. I understand I that I won't stand a chance against you, I already knew the first time I saw you outside. But even so, you won't be able to scare me away with foul words." Not anymore that is. Melati left the two big cats in the large living room. Silence entered the room, only the hard breathing of Grimmjow was clearly to hear.

"What the hell do you want? Huh! Can't you say a damn thing?"

It is as my master says; foul words won't scare us away! Not her, not me, as long my master isn't afraid then neither shall I, when she is, I will protect her from that fear!

"So you can talk though telepathy, some sick technique." Grimmjow muttered.

Only when the other is a big cat, like yourself, I am able to communicate, though you aren't a cat, or a big cat. That form what is it? That hole you have, means you are a Hollow, though don't looks like those weird creatures my master has come across very often.

"Don't you fucking dare to compare me to a damn Gillian! I'll fucking tear you to shreds!" Grimmjow growled.

What the hell is that? Gillian?

"Go protect your damn master; I got other shit to do." Grimmjow turned away, walking to the porch, finding himself in an old Japanese mansion. "The hell!"

Manami simply followed. Watching the birds sing in the big sakura tree in the middle of the garden. Taking a seat next to Grimmjow.

Akemi Melati, she is eldest daughter of an old generation of mediums. Many people who grieve for the lost of their beloved ones come here for consoles. Though after the death of the latest master of this place, everything else became my masters', as she is the last one of this clan. You do understand, even if she can't see a damned thing in this god forsaken world, she is able to fight on equal grounds with souls, spirits, even Hollows.

"Why the fuck are you here then?" Grimmjow asked,

I am her guardian, when she goes outside she needs eyes to see the world. Those eyes, is me. I am her eyes.

"Grimmjow, it appears you already found the best place in the house." Melati took a seat next to both big cats. Placing one hand on Manami's head. The other next to Grimmjow's left paw. Softly she starts humming, hearing the birds sing along with the melody, Melati is humming. "This place brings back memories; perhaps that is why I like it this much here. Though it can be very lonely, such a big place, for only one person and a big cat."

"Why are you telling me this?" Grimmjow leaned forward, placing his head on his front paws.

"Because I can't communicate with Manami, though I have a feeling she understands what I am saying, but I am afraid I can't understand her feelings. How hard I pray, that wish hasn't come true yet. You on the other hand I can hear, maybe because you are a Hollow, I don't know, but it soothes." Doubting if she should place a hand on Grimmjow's head. Melati kept her hand where it was.

Manami watched her master, closing her eyes after seeing Melati didn't pet Grimmjow on his head as well. The three relaxed for a while on the porch, Melati felt her energy fade, slowly her head dropped.

She overdid herself again. Manami sighed. Grimmjow, mind helping me with carrying her to her room? It is the least you can do after she healed you.

"I don't owe her damn thing." Grimmjow grunted, ignoring the lynx, he watched the female try to lift the young woman. He sighed. "You're worthless guardian."

Shut up!

Grimmjow helped the lynx, grabbing Melati at her collar, pulling her towards the lynx placing the human body over the lynx.

That ain't that hard was it?

"Shut the hell up," Grimmjow followed the lynx to the appointed room. The room was filled with dozens of stuffed animals, their shapes varied from tigers to panthers.

As you can see, my master's favorite type of animal is big cats. According to the neighbor, my master always has loved big cats. Never fearing the fact she could be tore to shreds if she came to close. It never held her back. I guess the sole reason you are still alive and treated by her is thanks to this.

The lynx placed the girl on top of the bed, taking a seat next to her, making sure she wouldn't be cold. Manami looked up to Grimmjow, who was still sitting at the door entrance of the room.

So what are you going to do now, Grimmjow? My master is asleep now; you can do as you wish, either to her or to me. You can go if you wish to go.

"Like I am going to tell you, what the hell I am going to do." Grimmjow left the room, minding his won business, discovering the vast mansion. This place is fucking large only for one damned human! If only I could change back to my normal form I could get the fuck out of this place. When that damned Ulquiorra finds out about this place, he is defiantly going to take all credit for this shit. Like hell I am going to let that happen.

Grimmjow walked back to the same place where the three sat. Resting, hoping his powers would come back earlier.

Time went by slowly, midday became night. Slowly the birds stopped their singing, the garden went silent for a while before the cicada started to liven up the vast place. Manami woke up from the tjirping noise.

Damn not again. Those fucking, insects! Manami watched her master, still sleeping softly, deciding to ignore the insects; Manami watched the dark blue sky the light of the moon entered the room. Feeling the cold sneakily enter the room. Manami left her place next to Melati, finding a blanket to cover her master. Shoving away the door to the next room, filled with dozens of fabric, Manami found the blanket quickly. Not noticing Grimmjow watching her take care of Melati.

Che, why the fuck do I even care about this damn human? Grimmjow walked away, finding his own place within the premises. Finding his place, he rested, waiting for his powers to return.

The next morning, the sun find her way into Melati's bedroom, waking her up. Slowly Melati open her eyes finding the same darkness she sees every time of the day or night. The empty feeling the room, felt uneasy.

"Manami, where are you girl?" Melati got out of the bed. Carefully she walks out of her room to the porch. Step by step Melati keeps on walking, moving her hands randomly in the air, to feel where she is. "Manami? Sayang?"

"Did the lynx ditch you?" Grimmjow came around the corner finding Melati at the living room entrance.

Melati turned her face to where the voice came from, finding Grimmjow in human form, his blue eyes were the first thing that caught Melati's attention. Ice blue eyes together with blue hair. Surprised she walked over to the man. Questionably she asked;

"Grimmjow? Is that you?"

"What you're even more blind, than you already are huh, foolish human." Grimmjow answered bluntly.

Melati smiled at ease. "Cat or human, your attitude doesn't change"

Grimmjow turned his head away to the garden, ignoring the comment made by the young woman. One hand at his waist the other relaxed next to his body. He glanced to Melati's right hand, finding the silver colored bracelet, the small hole took his attention. Looking back to the garden, he glanced back to Melati once more, finding red liquid flowing down her right hand.

"What did you do to your right hand?" He asked curiously.

Melati reacted surprised, leveling her hand to her head, feeling the sticky liquid with her left hand. "I guess when I tried to find Manami I cut myself to one of the sharp edges" Melati placed her left hand behind her head, laughing embarrassed.

Grimmjow walked over to the woman, finding her at least one head shorter than himself. Reaching out to Melati's right hand, bringing it to his mouth, licking away the blood. "Stay here, don't you fucking dare to move from this spot!"

Melati did as told, knowing she couldn't do much without the help of her lynx. Grimmjow remember clearly where Melati hid the aid kit. Opening the small cabin, taking out the even smaller box. He searched for the band aid, after he found what he searched for, he placed the kit back to where it belonged. Walking back to Melati find her sitting on the porch, already humming again. "Show me that hand."

Melati didn't stopped humming, giving Grimmjow the hand with the cut.

Grimmjow stitched the band aid on the cut. "Don't you dare to use the excuse fore helping me again. This is a repayment for treating me."

Manami snorted, finding the panther calm, helping her master. Grimmjow turned his head. "You worthless guardian, shouldn't you be the one treating her?" he said.

Manami didn't say a word, walking to her master, taking place in front her. The warm feeling of the animal soothed Melati. Manami faced Grimmjow, looking him right in the eye. Now that wasn't all to hard to do was it?

Grimmjow twitched his eye, knowing the female lynx set him up to repay his debt to Melati. "Che, females…" he grunted.

Melati plainly smiled, enjoying the morning with the two big cats. "Grimmjow before I forget you do need some new clothes if you want to fill in here…"

"Who the fuck told you I'm staying here? I got my own stuff to do!" Grimmjow sighed. I should've left when she was still asleep.

For your info:

Sayang: honey, darling, is an Indonesian word, you use to someone who is close to you, example, mother to daughter, or in this case human to a very close animal friend, hopefully this makes the word clear ^^'
