It's A Dog's Life
Chapter One: Enter The Dog
The world consisted of a sewer pipe.
Komamura yawned, stretched, and shook himself awake. It had been a while since he'd needed a gigai, and he found that his new one fit much more snugly than he remembered. His nails clacked against concrete as he walked to the end of the pipe for a better look.
He peered out at a sullen gray world. Rebar bristled like spines from the unfinished building above him, while piles of debris and building materials formed an alien landscape below. He himself was on a pyramid of pipes waiting to be installed underground. He carefully swung himself out of the opening and struggled to the pavement.
Hm. Either the living world had grown much larger than he'd anticipated, or…
He padded over to a nearby shop window, half certain what he would see.
A furry red puppy face stared unhappily back at him with his golden eyes.
I hate you, Urahara.
This is up here primarily so I can figure out how the author bit of this site works. And because reading some of the great stories on here made this poor schmuck want to write. But I also wanted to give Komamura a little love. (I'm not the only one who wants a puppy-taichou, am I? Well, there's that Yachiru-Komamura fic which was kinda fun… and probably others. Dunno. Enjoy anyway!)
