Chapter 2

A/N: Hey guys and gals, I'm back :D I was able to get the fourth installment of Hakai No Ai done and published so go read and enjoy. Now it's time for chapter number 2 of Blood & Honey and I'm excited to get it started. I'm happy to start this chapter and its supernatural goodness plus there are new characters coming into the story :3 hahahaha

Have you guessed what kind of genetic weres Ichigo and Shiro are? If so then I should say that that animal embodies them in a way mainly because of their hair colors and attitudes xD

Were/weres- is short for werewolf, werelion, weretiger, werepanther, etc…..

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach, Tite Kudo does and I'm jealous!

We don't know what we've done

We must be killers

Children of the wild ones

Killers

Where we got left to run?

"You know a nap would be great right now, it sounds so much better than being on patrol" A deep voice yawned.

"Shut up Starrk! I brought you along because it's better than you sleeping all fucking day, you're an alpha so you better start acting like one!" Grimmjow snapped walking through the brush of the forest.

"Come on Grimmjow, you know this is technically you're job not mine" Starrk replied looking around the surrounding area for anything suspicious.

Grimmjow's piercing blue eyes looked at his companion with his sharp gaze only getting ignored by the brown haired man beside him. Starrk stood 6'1 his wavy dark brown reaching the nape of his neck framing his masculine face. His body was lean and muscular with his long torso that made him look even taller. He wore a white long sleeved button shirt, a few buttons undone to expose his muscular chest as the shirt fit loosely on him leaving a mystery to the imagination. A necklace hung around his neck containing several large canine teeth that glowed white again his slightly tan skin. Starrk wore loose fitting jeans that hung low on his hips, holes torn at his knees adding more to his lazy persona.

"No it's all of our responsibility! The other alphas know their places in the pack, but you have no sense of anything but sleep..." Grimmjow snapped back listening to his surroundings.

Starrk lazily rolled his eyes at Grimmjow's statement as his eyes scoped the surrounding area using his inhuman vision to make sure that nothing was missed. Before he could retort a loud thunder was heard in the distance catching the attention of both alphas as their heads snapped up in the direction of the loud boom. The sky itself was clear that morning as the sun had barely peaked out of the west shining brightly over the mountains in the distance. As far as one could see a cloud in the sky was scarce from probing eyes as confusion spread across the alpha's faces.

"What do you think that could be? Because that sure as hell was no thunderstorm" Grimmjow asked still looking in the direction of the noise.

Starrk's face went rigid as he continued to look in the distance not seeing anything, "I don't know. Do you think it could be Weres in an argument of some kind?" Starrk replied his eyes searching for answers in the distance.

Suddenly another loud crash was heard closer to them as the trees could be heard breaking and falling onto the forest floor. Grimmjow's stiffened as he crouched into a defensive stance glancing at Starrk as he did the same. Using their heightened senses they were not able to determine the threat that was quickly making its way towards them as the forest screamed in destruction. The two weres were ready for what was to come as they searched the cloud of destruction traveling towards them for the cause of it.

Two figures escaped from the cloud traveling at abnormally fast speeds as the two weres in front of them could only see orange and white. Grimmjow's eyes widened as he witnessed the two figures skid to a halt before him revealing themselves to him and Starrk. The only thing that caught his attention was the orange haired male standing before him. He had amber eyes that glared fiercely in his own raising the hairs on his body with the intensity of it as a scowl appeared on his face. The young male had a lithe form under the torn clothes that he wore, his muscles clearly visible under the fabric. Scratches and bruises covered his body as him and his white copy looked though they had been through hell.

The white haired male looked like the mirror image of the orange haired male as he growled fiercely at the two weres before them. Starrk raised a brow at the pale man as he started to become more interested in the two males before them. Their eyes glowed a golden yellow as they observed the two male weres before them, distracting them from their pursuers.

Ichigo's eyes locked with Grimmjow's as he looked with wonder in the deep cyan eyes that seemed to strangely pull him in. Confusion filled his being as he looked into the piercing blue eyes seeing the fierceness and savagery within them that set him on edge yet intrigued him. Shiro on the other hand looked at them with unease as he did not know whether they were a threat or a distraction to their escape. His yellow eyes met with Starrk's greyish eyes as he continued to feel nervous due to his inability to read the two weres. In the back of his mind all he could think about was getting lost within Starrk's eyes by staring at them all day. Ichigo scowled as he realized that he and his twin brother had a task at hand and that was escaping their pursuers that they had seemingly forgotten.

A sudden cackle coming from the cloud of destruction broke them out of their trance as four pairs of eyes stared into the cloud searching for the source of the cackling. Glowing eyes stared back at them as a large figure exploded out of the dust and ran at them with intense speed targeting the twins. Ichigo and Shiro growled at the figure as they prepared for the massive creature that approached them with incredible speed. In a blur the creature punched Shiro sending him skidding into the trees crashing through them violently as his body took out the trees like a wrecking ball.

"Shiro!" Ichigo yelled looking in the direction that Shiro had gone.

A large hand tightened around Ichigo's throat hauling him into the air, "finally got my hands on you! You're mine now little berry" the large figure growled.

Ichigo clawed at the hand on his throat realizing that he was in a bad position to try and pry it off.

"Fuck you Kenpachi! I'm not going back to the facility, so let me go!" he wheezed looking at Kenpachi in defiance.

The tall man laughed, "I came all this way to get you, you little fuck. You really should escape more often cuz that is the most fun I've had in a long while. And the doctor would be really disappointed if I roughed you up to much before bringing you back in." Kenpachi's hand tightening around his neck.

Grimmjow and Starrk stared in shock at the scene before them realizing that they had gotten themselves in the middle of something bigger than they had predicted. Grimmjow looked at the large were named Kenpachi in awe at his intimidating size. Kenpachi stood at almost 7' tall his black hair spiked almost like a mane around his head. He wore a tight sleeveless shirt that seemed molded on his skin showing the massive muscles of his upper body that disappeared into loose black cargo pants. His outfit was exactly the same as the twin's clothing, down to the pants, and the way that it formed to their bodies as well.

Kenpachi caught sight of the two men staring at him, "Who the fuck are you?" he grumbled still holding Ichigo.

Grimmjow snapped out of his awe and glared and him, "I could ask you the same thing asshole".

Kenpachi slightly grinned at the retort, "You got quite the mouth on you don't you blue boy? Such a smart mouth for such a weakling" he grinned.

Starrk stared at from Grimmjow to kenpachi slightly wide eyed as he saw the blue haired male smile like a Cheshire cat knowing that trouble was about to ensue. No one had ever called Grimmjow a weakling and those that knew that to say those words would be to eat them. Starrk knew that the blue eyed male was on the edge of joining the situation if Kenpachi continued to taunt him.

"You wanna run that by me again you tall piece of shit?" Grimmjow growled through his grin.

Kenpachi laughed adding to Grimmjow's anger as he sniffed the power coming off the man, "Ahhh I smell big cat from you blue boy, smells like panther" he said surprising Starrk with his accurate answer.

A blast of power surrounded them like a thick blanket making Kenpachi's grin falter as he felt Grimmjow's power make thick and hard to breathe. Kenpachi glared into Grimmjow's glowing blue eyes realizing that he might have underestimated the blue haired were before him.

Starrk huffed a bored expression reappearing on his face, "This is bothersome" he whispered under his breath.

Ichigo stared at Grimmjow in the middle of his struggle feeling the power radiating from the blue haired male. He noticed that Kenpachi actually felt that power as he stiffened while continuing to hold him in an iron grasp. He tried to think of ways to escape and find Shiro as the two weres had their power struggle in front of him.

A loud roar rumbled from the forest sending groups of birds into the air as Ichigo's eyes widened and look in the direction of the noise. He knew that Shiro had transformed from anger that Kenpachi had landed a good punch on him. A devilish cackle bellowed out of Kenpachi as Grimmjow and Starrk looked at the giant in confusion, Grimmjow snapping out of his anger.

Kenpachi looked at Ichigo, "Looks like Shiro wants to come and play berry. I knew that punch was a good idea now I can have some fun!" he cackled some more angering.

A lone figure appeared from the debris of the direction that Shiro had been sent flying through earlier. A were stood tall with a muscular lean build as he wore a tight black sleeveless shirt similar to Ichigo's own shirt along with the black cargo pants. White and black fur covered his body as he stood upright, eyes glowing gold as they looked directly at Kenpachi with hatred. Shiro had transformed into a form that surprised Grimmjow and Starrk as they looked in shock at the beast that ignored them as if they did not exist.

'He has a third form!? Only alphas have that form, but something tells me that these two twins are no ordinary weres. Let alone the fact that they are weretigers, I thought they were extinct?!' Grimmjow thought looking at the two weres in front of him with suspicion.

Shiro had revealed his true form to the weres, surprising both Starrk and Grimmjow with his appearance as Ichigo realized that being in human form was no longer an option for him. Ichigo's hands transformed into claws as he dug them into kenpachi's skin shredding his forearm from his elbow to his wrist making the giant were release him from its grasp. Ichigo dropped to the scurrying away from Kenpachi never taking his eyes away from him as he heard Shiro charging in the distance. Shiro in anger set his sights on Kenpachi as he charged from the edge of the forest traveling at the inhuman speed that only a were-creature of his caliber could produce.

Ichigo put a safe distance between Kenpachi and himself knowing that Shiro had made claim on the giant, guessing by the roar that he had released earlier. Kenpachi looked at Shiro charging towards him ignoring his bloody arm smiling like a maniac as he prepared for the attacker making its way towards him.

Suddenly a dark red blur crashed into Shiro smashing him into the ground beneath him creating a crater with the impact.

"Shiro!" Ichigo watching in surprise as his twin was covered in a dust cloud produced from the explosion.

Kenpachi laughed as he realized that his comrades had finally decided to join him and come out of hiding. Grimmjow and Starrk watched in shock as the white weretiger was taken down by a mysterious attacker that had not shown him mercy.

'What the hell was that?' they both thought watching the dust cloud start to disperse.

In the cloud stood two figures, one standing tall seemingly holding something down as the other was on all fours growling maliciously at whatever was on the ground. The dust cleared as a red Wolman was revealed holding Shiro to the ground with one foot digging into his back and a hand burying his face in to the dirt. The other figure revealed was a black panther baring its teeth snarling into Shiro's ear as if it was talking to him.

"Looks like it's just you and me, berry" Kenpachi stated turning his eyes on to Ichigo, "I've been itching to fight you so you better give me a good fight before I take you and snowball over there back to the doc".

Ichigo glared back at the large man knowing deep inside that him and Shiro had not come all this way to be capture and taken back to the lab. His deep brown eyes looked at Grimmjow and Starrk realizing that they had still not left the area after witnessing all they had seen. Normal weres would have left, but they proved to not be normal weres.

"Get out of here!" Ichigo shouted at them, "There's no need for you both to get involved".

Grimmjow was taken aback by Ichigo's words as he stared at him in confusion, noticing that the orange haired male was asking them to leave.

"You know Grimm maybe we should just leave, this is none of our business" Starrk whisper to the blue haired male.

Grimmjow snapped out of his confusion realizing that he had two choices before him. One being that he and Starrk could make their escape forgetting everything that they had witnessed. Then there was two where he would risk his life as well as Starrk's life to save the lives of two weres that they had the misfortune of running into.

Ichigo stared into Kenpachi's gleaming black orbs knowing that in order to save Shiro from their other two pursuers he would need to defeat the large were. His eyes burned to life as his chocolate brown gaze glowed piercing the giant man before him. His nails sharpened into claws as he clenched his fists ready to fight. Kenpachi's grin widened as he anxiously waited with excitement for the orange haired male to make his first move. The giant were knew that the twins were more powerful than they were leading on, he wanted to see what he berry really had to offer.

Suddenly a blue blur rushed Kenpachi as a fist struck his jaw sending him skidding across the clearing with the force of the punch.

In his place stood Grimmjow, "Looks like I just got involved" The azure haired male stated standing in front of Ichigo eyes glowing bright blue.

Ichigo looked at the were-panther in confusion, 'what the hell?' he thought 'I thought I told him and the wolf to not to get involved'.

He glanced in Starrk's direction noticing that he had disappeared from his spot next to Grimmjow. His eyes frantically searched for as the spotted the brunette fight off the red wolf-man and the black panther by himself. His eyes widened in disbelief as he returned his gaze back to Grimmjow whose power radiated around him.

"I thought I told you to go, why are you helping us?" Ichigo asked, "We don't owe you anything"

Grimmjow glanced at him slightly grinning, "I guess I decided to take a gamble on you" he replied.

A light blush appeared on Ichigo's cheeks before a maniacal laugh broke through their moment. Their eyes turned to Kenpachi as he made his way to his feet, his chest shaking with laughter as he stood tall looking at the scar that he left on the earth. He brought his arm to his face wiping away the blood that dripped from his mouth inspecting it on his arm before smiling gleefully.

"Looks like blue boy can pack a punch huh Ichigo?" Kenpachi stated sending chills down the boy's spine with the sound of his name. "It's been a long time since I've had this much fun"

Grimmjow glanced at Ichigo making sure not to take his eyes off of Kenpachi, "So what is he?" he asked.

"Kenpachi is a werelion, he's strong, fierce, and not really something to fuck with" Ichigo replied tensing up as he readied himself to fight kenpachi.

"I was also thinking the same thing about you" Grimmjow stated staring hard at Ichigo.

A scowl appeared on Ichigo's face "Did I say something wrong? Ichigo was it?" Grimmjow added seeing Ichigo's scowl deepen.

It had been the truth, Grimmjow stared back into the chocolate brown eyes his instincts going into overdrive as he wondered if he had made the right choice. He had owed nothing to Ichigo and his pale copy, in reality he should have left them to their own devices and been on his way with Starrk in tow. The only thing that had changed his mind was look of defiance that Ichigo had in his eyes when Kenpachi confronted him and the look that he was giving him in that moment. That look in Ichigo's eyes had made something stir in his loins as he continued to get lost in the deep brown eyes that bored into his cerulean ones.

Kenpachi broke their eye contact as he appeared in front of Ichigo slamming his fist in to the berry's stomach knocking that air out of him. Ichigo had forgotten the surprising strength of Kenpachi as he bent forward trying to retrieve the air that had escaped his lungs. He could not recover in time as Kenpachi twisted his body delivering a kick to Ichigo's chest sending Ichigo across the clearing. Grimmjow was surprised at the strength of the giant as Kenpachi jumped in to the air towards the blue haired were with his fist pulled back. Kenpachi smashed into the earth as Grimmjow jumped back out the way as a crater formed from the impact.

'Shit I didn't think he would be this strong' Grimmjow thought before looking in Ichigo's direction 'I need to see if he's not dead'

Ichigo was somewhat unconscious as he tried to regain his breath while in a dent in the ground from when he was kicked. He knew he had to get back on his feet and help the blue haired were that he had just met, but his breath still eluded him as he tried to move. Kenpachi's strength was something that Ichigo had not expected since the last time he had come in contact with the giant were.

Back at the lab Ichigo had been forced to fight the other test subjects not including his brother to test his strength and success under the supervision of Kurotsuchi. In the beginning Ichigo proved to best the majority of the experiments except for a select few that were stronger than him and his brother. In the end they had surpassed all of the other experiments as they started to rely more on their animal instincts, becoming blood thirsty fighters as a result.

"C'mon blue boy, give me something to make my day" Kenpachi laughed walking towards Grimmjow antagonizing him.

Grimmjow grinned as he realized that he would really have to fight the werelion, something that he hadn't done in a long time. He rushed forward surprising Kenpachi as he appeared in front of the large man sending his leg into his face. Kenpachi's face snapped to the side as the force of the kick sent him skidding across the clearing away from the rest of the fighting. The werelion used his clawed hands as he dug them into the ground stopping himself leaving scars on the earth as he stopped. Grimmjow appeared again above him staring down into his shocked eyes before plummeting his fist into the large man's stomach.

The earth cracked at the force of the punch as the air was knocked out of Kenpachi, his eyes bugging out just like Ichigo's had moments ago. Ichigo watched in shock from his perch on the ground as he had finally regained his breathing.

'How did he do that?! Kenpachi is even hard for ME to take down' Ichigo thought watching Grimmjow pull Kenpachi up by his shirt, 'Something isn't right…'

Grimmjow pulled his fist back ready to deliver the final blow as Kenpachi started shake with a throaty chuckle looking up into his cerulean eyes.

"What's so funny werelion?" Grimmjow asked.

"I'm kind of disappointed blue boy" Kenpachi replied making Grimmjow raise a brow, "Your blows felt like bee stings"

Grimmjow's eyes widened as he felt a sharp pain in his side as the werelion's transformed hand stabbed into him. He looked into Kenpachi's maniacal face as a large hand gripped his throat and in one swift motion he was lifted into the air. Grimmjow dangled in the air as he started to bleed out over the large hand in his side. Ichigo stared in horror as he watched the blue haired male before his body flooded with guilt knowing that the sight before him was his fault.

"You see blue boy, I was expecting you to put up a hell of a fight so that chasing after that orange little shit over there wouldn't have been as boring as it was until now" Kenpachi explained before yanking his hand out Grimmjow.

"Fuck!" Grimmjow yelled as he winced at the giant before him.

"Now, sadly, I have to end our little fun" the werelion grinned, "Any last words blue boy?"

Grimmjow peered down at Kenpachi looking into his eyes, "Yeah, Fuck you" he spat spitting blood into his attacker's face.

Kenpachi looked at the cerulean haired male with a stone like face as he was annoyed that the man spit on him. Grimmjow closed his eyes awaiting the pain that was going to befall him at the hands of the werelion holding him. Kenpachi froze as he looked beside him looking directly into the glowing amber eyes of Ichigo that were only several inches from him. The look of contained rage radiated from his stare and warmed the air around him. The tall man felt the air become thick with power as he continued to look into Ichigo's cold heated stare.

Even with his eyes closed Grimmjow became intoxicated from the power that suddenly overwhelm as he waited for his end from Kenpachi. Ichigo moved quickly, shattering the arm holding the cerulean haired man as he punched the werelion in the face with his transformed hand. The punch exploded with power as Kenpachi flew out of the clearing laying a path of destruction as he took trees, boulders and the earth with him.

Grimmjow looked in awe at Ichigo as he turned his gaze towards the path of destruction that kenpachi had made with his body. His eyes turned back towards Ichigo as he noticed the change in the orange haired male, noticing the pissed look on his face. Ichigo's eyes glowed in anger and determination as a low growl of a tiger erupted from his chest as he stared into the dust cloud where Kenpachi hid. Grimmjow frowned as he realized that he looked weak in front of the mysterious attackers and twins that he had just met.

A large roar rumbled through the forest sending chills down both of their spines as a massive creature exploded out of the dust. A lion-like humanoid with a black mane charged at Ichigo with intense velocity claws out and teeth ready.

Grimmjow's eyes widened, 'He has a second form?! The only creatures that have enough power to gain a second for are alphas… this can't be' he thought.

Ichigo met Kenpachi head on dodging the claws as he slammed his fist in to the lions face a slight crunch being heard. Blood gushed from its nose as it splattered on Ichigo's as used his transformed hand to slash at Kenpachi's abdomen slicing deep. Ichigo jumped back as the lions claws swiped at him missing him by just a hair as he crouched low in a predatory stance. He had had enough of Kenpachi and the others that were after him and his brother as he growled once more at his prey. He had now made Kenpachi his prey as he stalked around the massive lion-man assessing how he would end the fight never taking his glowing eyes off of his target.

Grimmjow's skin shivered again as Ichigo's power washed over him again, this time greater than before as it slightly choked him with its heat. He had not felt power like that in a long time as he watched the orange headed male with awe wondering what he truly was. Ichigo was nothing like anything Grimmjow had seen before. Ichigo reacted quickly moving faster than he had before taking Kenpachi by surprise as he slashed his chest. Blood coated the grass as Ichigo appeared behind the werelion plunging his forearm through his midsection surprising both of the men in front of him. Ichigo pulled his arm out of the wound quickly stepping away from Kenpachi has the large man fell to him knees growling at the hole in his midsection.

"It's over Kenpachi" Ichigo stated, "You've already reached your limit as I have mine. Even with your healing Kurotsuchi will have to work on you before you can come chase me again"

Ichigo walked around to stand between Grimmjow and Kenpachi once more watching the werelion with an intense stare that only made Kenpachi angry. Kenpachi growled once more before his eyes drooped and rolled to the back of his head as he fell to the ground limp. Relief washed over Ichigo as he realized that the chase was over for the time being as his shoulders relaxed as did his face. The power radiating from his body crept into his body as it disappeared from Grimmjow's senses all together.

Grimmjow looked at Ichigo with confusion as he turned around revealing his glazed over chocolate eyes as he stumbled to the side. Ichigo looked at the ground as his body started to shut down from exhaustion. He had been on the run for days with Shiro fighting off their pursuers ever since they had left the facility. Grimmjow rushed to Ichigo's side as he fell catching him in his arms as the orange headed male fell into a deep coma-like slumber.

"He pass out on you too?" a deep voice said catching Grimmjow's attention.

He looked up to see Starrk in front of him with Shiro on his back asleep like his twin brother. Shiro looked peaceful resting against Starrk unlike his actions earlier that had put Grimmjow and Starrk on edge.

"Yeah, let's get them back to the village" Grimmjow replied, "Nel is going to have a field day with this one".
