Next chapter is finally up! That doesn't mean you get to know who those people were. But two people got it right. One was the person who requested and the other was... telling you would give it away.
KingYohannE - Right now.
C.S.Y. Shadows - Congrats on getting the right answer!
Hibarilova18 - First, love the name. Second, 18 is awesome. Third, 18 is will always be the coolest. Fourth, thanks for the review. ;P
Bl4ze777 - How many times do you win at slot machines? Sorry, I couldn't resist. Yes, I do realize my sense of humor sucks. Thanks for the review and I hope I didn't offend you somehow.
Chapter 2 Moving in
It didn't take long for Ichigo and Grimmjow to take a liking to the little, helpless brunette. At least, not for Ichigo. After all, Tsuna was still in awe over the talking blue feline.
However, it did seem that Grimmjow had taken pleasure in scaring the brunette, which led to said brunette running to Ichigo for help, leading to a fight between Ichigo and Grimmjow. Never once did they fail to fight in a flashy and spectacular fashion that somehow didn't blow up the entire country.
Ichigo suspected two things.
One, Japan and its civilians - no matter what world - were made out of some strange substance that was highly resistant to destruction by... scratch that. Highly resistant to mass destruction in general and could rebuild itself overnight. And said mass destruction happened often. It would certainly explain a lot. Like how no bat an eyelash at a kid fighting a panther cub, and blown up parks that somehow fixed themselves overnight. Of course, everything had a limit, which was why people still died by mundane things. Or maybe it was something that activated only during times of mass destruction. Either way worked.
Two, Grimmjow and Tsuna were doing this on purpose. Grimmjow wanted a fight with a bonus of scaring a rabbit-like brunette and Tsuna liked watching them and cheering them on. The first one was very plausible, but the second one had developed after the twenty second fight. Tsuna had freaked out during the first ten, gotten used to them by the fifteenth, and was quite comfortable causing them by the thirtieth one... In one month.
He was sure of one thing.
These two were going to drive him insane.
Grimmjow found he could return to his humanoid form. He just hadn't figured out how to do it completely so he stuck to staying as a cub for the most part.
The first time he had successfully changed back had been humiliating.
Tsuna had flipped out. First, the feline could talk, now he could turn into a person?!
Ichigo laughed harder than he had in his entire laugh when he realized Grimmjow had kept his tail, ears, whiskers, and paws. This, of course, led to another fight, in which Grimmjow put his claws to good use, that destroyed a mountain. And of course, it being in Japan, the damn thing was back by the next day.
It had been a huge WTF?! moment for both Ichigo and Tsuna. Grimmjow didn't see anything wrong with it. In the end, they chalked it up to the mysteries of Japan and ignored everything of that sort that came after.
...
...
...
For the most part.
All the fighting had caught the attention of a certain demon of Namimori.
It had started out like any other day. With Tsuna running to Ichigo to stop Grimmjow from chasing him and a fight broke out at the park. At this point, Grimmjow only had ears and a tail that could easily be hidden away. Midway, there had been an interruption.
"Herbivores. You have destroyed Namimori property, prepared to be bitten to death!"
"Hieee! It's Hibari!"
"...Bitten to death?" asked Ichigo.
"Oi, kid, you're perfectly fine watching us fight but you're afraid of him?" Grimmjow asked.
"'Cause Tsu-kun know you aren't going to hit Tsu-kun when you two are fighting." he replied simply, hiding behind Ichigo.
Luckily for Tsuna, Hibari attack Grimmjow first.
However, Grimmjow dodged each and every one of the attacks. Occasionally, Grimmjow threw in an attack but he was mostly fooling around.
"Ne. Ichi-nii, how long do you think this is going to take?"
"Until Grimmjow decides to stop messing around probably. He's pretty good, but he... damn, I can't say anything about it without being a hypocrite. Uh, let's just say he doesn't have enough experience."
"...In other words, a long time?"
"I'd give it about five to ten minutes."
In actuality, it took three minutes for Grimmjow to get bored and pass Hibari to Ichigo.
Ichigo had to admit, the kid was good. He was fast - not shunpo fast but fast for a six year old - and light on his feet, his hits were on par with the average person twice his age. But, he was full of openings and...
Ichigo made a sudden swerved to his left.
Hibari tripped and fell over.
His balance sucked and usually the kid ran in a straight line.
The black haired male glared at him.
It wasn't as scary as it was cute. And Ichigo said so.
The glare turned into a scowl.
"You should really work on your balance." Ichigo offered. "Cover your left side more but don't neglect the right side. And don't make so many unnecessary movements. You'll tire out faster and give more openings. Bye!" He grabbed Tsuna and hightailed out of the park with Hibari chasing after him.
"Oi! Grimmjow, hurry up."
"What? You're running from this brat?"
Grimmjow, as a panther cub, stared an Tsuna.
Tsuna gripped Ichigo's sleeve in fear.
"Grimmjow, stop scaring him." Honestly, it felt like he was looking after pre-schoolers... well with their physical ages it wasn't all that far off.
"Ichigo, we need to teach this brat how to fight."
"Hah?"
"He's weak and his confidence is annoyingly low. He's a coward."
"Grimmjow, he's five."
"So what?"
"He's just a kid! He shouldn't be fighting!"
"What about that lieutenant girl, Yachi whatsit."
"Yachiru, and she's different!"
"Or that little captain with the white hair."
"Toushiro?"
"Yeah, him."
"Yachiru and Toushiro are part of the Gotei 13 and technically, neither of them are kids."
"That kid from yesterday?"
"..."
"I'm not saying we should make him a fighter, just build some confidence and the ability to defend himself. Although, turning this kid into fighter would be..."
"Tsuna, what do you think?" Ichigo asked leaving Grimmjow to his musings
"Tsu-kun doesn't want to hurt anybody."
"Not to hurt, to protect yourself and others."
"Like you?"
"Uh, sure?"
"Okay." That was easy.
So chapter two is up and everyone seems out of character. 'Specially Grimmjow.
Care to tell me what you think?
