Significantly smaller then when he had placed it in the fire the bone was shaped like a stalking panther, half black the other white. Grimm rubbed his thumb across the black part wondering if it would come off, it didn't make sense to him since he was a white panther. Grandfather motioned for him to pass it back over, a smile on his lips. He examined it carefully; reading the bone like one would a book. Grandfather carefully sat the small bone on a flat slab of rock, staring at it intently before he tapped it with a finger. They watched it intently, nothing happened for the first few seconds but then the bone slowly started to move. It looked like a real panther stalking around the rock and as it did the colour slowly from white to black and then back again. Once it completed the circle three times it stopped colour resettling back to what it started out as. Grimmjow reached out and poked it, hoping it would move again but it didn't.
"It won't move for you son, the magic that drove it to do so is gone. Now the ability that you have was highly sought after by your people few were ever gifted with it either. Ultimate stealth, if you believe you are a weak skinny man people will see you as a weak skinny man. You should try it on someone who knows you really well the results will surprise you son." Yoruichi, she was a master of disguise and could recognise him instantly no matter how much he dressed differently. One time she recognised him by smell alone. The woman was insane. Grimm was definitely going to have to try it with her. Ichigo could tell by the smirk alone that he was going to mess with Yoruichi, the woman had a knack for finding people, if he can fool her it would be amazing. She definitely wanted to be there when he tried it out on her, to see the shock on her face when he finally revealed himself would be the icing on the cake for her.
"Thank you Grandfather," Ichigo murmured, bowing her head to him.
"Always Ichigo, you've brought hope to this old fool. Now get going! You have lots to learn Grimmjow and Ichigo here is the perfect teacher to learn it from," he said, slowly standing, shooing them out as he did.
"Thank you," Grimmjow said as he stood, questions circling through his mind. He followed ichigo out silently, thumb rubbing against the panther charm in his hand. Ulimate stealth. It sounded amazing but then again so did turning into a monster.
"Can I see ya beast form?" he asked, shocking Ichigo with the sudden question. She paused leaning up against one of the moss covered trees.
"Only if you race me," She bargained, Ichigo didn't really like to reveal her second form. That was something he could agree to, he had beaten her before and Grimmjow reckoned he could push himself further. The red head snickered at his grin.
"Let me rephrase that, race against the monster as a panther."
