Chapter 1

Pantera

(Hueco Mundo):

Ichigo and Grimmjow stood apart, preparing for combat. Orihime was out of the way atop one of the pillars, with little Nel next to her.

Giving one of his trademark slasher grins, the sixth espada unsheathed his zanpakto and ran his fingers along the flat side as it glowed. "Grind, Pantera!" Ichigo, already in bankai, remained silent, observing cautiously while a burst of energy obscured his opponent from view. However, he couldn't have been any less prepared for what happened next.

Faster than the teen could react, a blur tacked his midsection and nearly knocked him down. "Ichigo Kurosaki!" cheered a loud, unknown female voice.

"What the hell?!" Grimmjow roared in confusion upon the energy and dust dispersing, revealing him exactly how he was previously, except now without his weapon.

Both combatants set their gaze upon the person who was currently on her knees and clinging to Ichigo's waist, nuzzling her face into his stomach like a cat. She had a pair of bone white panther ears protruding from her head of similarly coloured hair and a matching, segmented tail from her lower back. Her hands and feet were covered in a thin layer of black fur with small claws. She was dressed in white, segmented suit of natural armour, with a collar of black fur.

"Oi, Pantera! What the hell are you doing?!" Grimmjow screamed in frustration at his now revealed zanpakto, much to Ichigo's confusion. "I was going to fight the guy! Get back here!"

"Buzz off!" Pantera snapped back with a glare, revealing light blue eyes with slit pupils. "He's warm and comfy! It feels nice and fuzzy doing this, find somebody else to squabble with!"

Ichigo's face fell into a look of tired exasperation. 'Why do all the weird things happen to me? And why am I getting a feeling of Déjà vu?'

The furious espada charged up a cero in his hand. "Shut up and get back here! We're having a fight to the death!"

"Denied!" Pantera shouted, instantly springing up and firing her own cero into her owner's, making it blow up in his face. "You are forbidden to hurt him again! If you try, then I'll block off access to your transformation and you'll be nothing but a whining pansy!"

Grimmjow's eye twitched and his teeth were bared, but he held his silence. Finally, he let out an annoyed scoff and turned on his heel, knowing that she would indeed follow through with the threat. "Tch. Insolent little… I'm going back to my place!"

"Sorry about that Ichigo," apologised the spirit as she turned to face the teen.

The substitute soul reaper awkwardly scratched the back of his head with his free hand. "Yeah. Not that I'm ungrateful for you calling the fight off, but why exactly did you do it?"

The feline girl instantly latched onto him again, this time standing and rubbing her cheek against his. "Simple! You have this really nice and fuzzy aura, like a warm fireplace. I wanted to enjoy it, which wouldn't happen if that idiot kept trying to rough you up."

The orange-haired youth sighed in defeat. He wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth, even if it was entirely bizarre and random. Orihime and Nel slowly descended on her orange shield, sending their friend an inquisitive glance at the girl hugging him whilst humming happily. Ichigo responded with a 'Don't ask because I'm not sure myself' look.

And finish! I hope you guys all enjoyed this. It does feel good to get back to writing after so long. For those of you waiting for updates on my 2 'main Fics' (Highschool:BLEACHED & Feeding Plan), sorry but I don't have enough time to get back to them yet. I do fully intend to update them ASAP though, so don't lose heart!

The next chapter will be involving another espada who is a fan-favourite (hint: Quatro). Stay tuned!
