Honey Bunny UruhaXRuki Part 1

"Uruha, I can't believe you forgot about tomorrow! You're the VP of the company and you signed off for it," Reita complained as he paced his friends office.
"I've been a little busy and do you have any idea how many things I sign off each week?" the honey blonde said as he looked at his overflowing inbox pointedly.
"Yeah but how could you forget about 'Bring Your Hybrid to Work' day? It's all anybody has been talking about for the last two weeks."
"Well it's too late to do anything about it now. It's six o'clock and they closed at five. I did remember to check into it."
"Lucky for you I know the administrator there. I have to pick up Kai from there since he had his check up today so I made you an appointment. It's time to go so pack it up for the day," he told his friend cheekily.
"I can't leave right now. This report has to be finished by the end of the week."
"Next week. I checked. Stop stalling and let's go. Kai's going to be upset with me if I'm late and I'll make sure he knows it's your fault."
"You wouldn't dare. He already growls at me every time I get near him as it is."
"Then let's go before we are late."
"I really don't need a hybrid you know, Reita. I wouldn't even have time for one right now."
"How is it going to look when the vice president of the company comes in tomorrow and he's the only one here that doesn't have a hybrid? Everybody is going to think you're a hypocrite for having a company day for them when you don't have one yourself."
"Nobody is going to think that," he said as he gave up and started to clear his desk. "They'll all be too busy with their hybrids and introducing them to each other. I doubt any work will get done all day."
"Please tell me that you at least remembered to get the conferance rooms set up? I know for a fact that several people have S type hybrids and unless you want that in the cubicles," he trailed off.
"I hired a maid service to clean the rooms throughout the day alright? And the main conferance room will be set up to as a play area for the younger U types. I even have performers coming in to entertain them."
"Really? I am impressed. I'd have been more impressed if you'd have remembered to get a hybrid weeks ago but we're going to fix that right now."
"I never agreed to actually getting a hybrid you know."
"Trust me, once you're in the adoption area surrounded by all those cute little guys you won't be leaving alone."
"Let's just go and get this over with."
Reita dragged his friend out of the office building where they worked and headed to the parking garage. Uruha lived close enough to walk to and from work but since his long time friend and business partner was dragging him across town he needed a ride. He sighed as they got into the late model sports car and sped down the streets.
They arrived at the large complex in a record, and terrifying, ten minutes later. There were still times minutes to spare before the appointment but Reita was apparently having Kai withdrawls. His friend rushed towards the clinic building and was in and out in two minutes with Kai clinging to him. As soon as the puppy hybrid saw Uruha he let out a short, low growl. "Every time," Uruha said to his smiling friend.
"Come on, Kai, be nice to Uruha today. I finally talked him into getting a hybrid of his own."
"Uru-san's getting a hybrid?" the brunette hybrid asked tilting his head to the side in confusion.
"Yes, so don't give him any excuses to back out now. Be a good boy while we're here okay? No more growling," the blonde said as he ruffled the dark hair and scratched behind one of the floppy, golden brown ears. "If you behave we'll get you a treat on the way home."
"Ice cream?" he asked, grinning widely and showing off his dimple.
"Let's see how nice you can be and then we'll talk about it."
"Okay," he said as his fluffy tail wagged happily.
"You ready, Uruha?" he asked as he turned his attention back to his friend.
"As ready as I'll ever be," the taller man said with a shrug.
Reita and Kai led the way to the adoption center in the center of the complex. They were greeted at the door by a security guard since they were officially closed. A quick call to the facility director and they were shown inside and greeted by one of the staff members. The young woman led them through the building and out the back taking them to a secure building. She explained that since the adoption center was closed for the day the hybrids had gone back to their dorms. It was now dinner time and they would all be gathered in the dining hall. "Are you two looking to adopt a playmate for your little one?" she asked politely.
"My friend here finally agreed to getting himself a hybrid."
"That's wonderful. Have you considered which type of hybrid you're interested in, sir?"
"The U type. Definitely the U type," Uruha said quickly. "An excellent choice. The U type hybrids are a very rewarding pet and companion to have. They're very sweet and lovable but I'm sure you know that since your friend here has one."
"Hmm. Reita is very fond of his little hybrid."
"Is there a particular breed you're looking into maybe?"
"Not really, no. I think personality is more important to me."
"Wonderful. We like to think that all of the hybrids here are unique creatures with their own special characteristics."
"That's great," Uruha said. He leaned close to his friend and whispered. "You owe me big time for this. You know how much I detest perky people."
"Just a little longer," Reita told him.
"Why don't we mingle a little bit and you can get to know our little friends?" the worker asked sweetly. "That sounds like a good idea," Uruha said trying not to roll his eyes.
"Reita, I see some of my old friends. Is it okay if I go visit them?" Kai asked as he tugged on the blondes sleeve.
"Sure, Kai. Just don't wander off anywhere."
"I promise," he said as he skipped off with his ears flopping and tail wagging. Uruha had to admit he was kind of cute when he wasn't growling and snarling.
"Oh dear," the woman said as a scuffle broke out at the far end of the room. "Make yourselves at home and I'll be right back."
"I don't suppose we can make a run for it while she's distracted?" Uruha asked hopefully.
"No. You haven't even tried finding a hybrid you like yet. Look at these guys, Uru. They're just too cute for words."
"Well what am I supposed to do? Walk up to them and say 'Hey I'm thinking of adopting one of you guys. Who's the least annoying and perky?' because I'm sure they'd love that."
"Okay, no perky hybrids. What kind of personality traits do you want?"
"I don't know. Calm and quiet would be good."
"You know they don't have goldfish hybrids right?"
"Very funny. You should have been a comedian."
"What about a rabbit?" the blonde said and pointed to a table were several U type rabbits were gathered. "Maybe."
"Let's go say hi and see what you think," he led his friend over to the rabbits and they all stopped talking to look at the two men. "Hi, this is my friend Uruha and he's here to adopt a hybird. Is it okay if we sit with you guys?"
"Sure," one of them said. The rabbits scooted closer together so the two could sit on the long benches.
"So, what do you guys like to do for fun?" Reita asked trying to start a conversation with the suddenly quiet creatures.
"I like to read," said the apparent leader. Several of the others nodded their agreement.
"I paint," another said quietly. A few more nods.
After a few more strained minutes of sitting with the rabbits Reita gave up and the two men moved on. They talked, briefly to a group of cat hybrids before checking in with Kai and meeting his friends. Uruha was ready to give up and leave as soon as the worker reappeared. He had known this was a bad idea from the beginning. He looked around the room hoping to see her headed their direction when he noticed something odd. There was a little U type rabbit sitting at a table alone not far from the other rabbits. The other rabbits had all had brown or brown and white ears while this ones ears were solid black. He also had different features than the other rabbits and it might be his imagination or the fact that this one was sitting alone but he seemed to be smaller than the others.
Instead of joining Reita as he sat down near Kai, Uruha found himself walking towards the lone hybrid. As he neared the table he heard the clicking of high healed shoes. Great, now the perky little employee decides to show up, he thought as he faught back a groan.
"I'm sorry about that, sir. Some times our S types can get a little over enthusiastic when they're all together. Is everything going alright?"
"It's fine. I was wondering though, why is that rabbit sitting alone? All the other hybrids here seem to be pretty social."
"Oh, he's a little different than the normal rabbits. Some of the scientists that used to work here were looking into crossbred hybrids and he's one of the results."
"Crossbred hybrids? Isn't that a little redundant?"
"Not in his case. He's got both rabbit and chihuahua genes as well as the human genes."
"But why is he sitting alone?"
"Well, the other rabbits are a bit uncomfortable around him due to the dog genes. The dog breeds have a tendency to pick on him because of the rabbit genes. There's also the fact that he's smaller than the other hybrids. Just between you and me there's been some talk of putting him down because of his antisocial tendencies."
"So the scientists screwed around even further with his DNA and none of the other hybrids want him around. Because he's a loner they want to euthanize the poor thing, too. That's just wrong."
"It would be best for him though. He's really kind of pathetic."
"Since when is killing something in it's best interest?" Uruha demanded.
Looking at the lonely creature sitting by itself now made him angry. The other creatures in the room and the scientists that had created it in the first place were nothing short of cruel in his mind. He was surprised to see that the rabbit had the long ears pulled over his face and he looked like he was trembling. Had he heard what the woman said about him somehow?
"Hello there," Uruha said as he crossed over to kneel beside the little rabbit. "I'm Uruha. What's your name?"
"Ru-Ruki," he hybrid sniffed quietly.
"It's very nice to meet you, Ruki."
"It is?" he asked in surprise, peeking out from behind one ear.
"Yes, it is," he said as he smiled kindly.
"It's nice to meet you, too," he said letting go of one ear and smiling shyly.
"Would you like to go home with me, Ruki?" he found himself asking. His heart melted as the rabbits little pink lips formed an O before he nodded slowly. As Uruha signed the adoption papers and paid the fee, Ruki went to his room to collect his belongings. Reita was pleased that his friend had actually found a hybrid on his own and hadn't needed to be forced to adopt one. Kai was amused at Uruha's choice of hybrid personally. He could smell that the other was both rabbit and dog as soon as they got close to each other. He thought about harrassing the little guy but he remembered that Reita had promised him a treat if he behaved nicely. So instead he showed his how to work the seatbelt in the car since the smallfry had never left the facility before. "Reita?" Kai asked as they pulled out of the parking lot and into traffic.
"If you forgot to use the bathroom before we left you're going to have to wait."
"It's not that. I was wondering if we were still going to stop for a treat. I was good wasn't I?" the puppy said sweetly.
"Oh, sure we can stop. Uruha, do you mind if we stop on the way to your place? You can get Ruki some ice cream too."
"I guess that would be alright," Uruha said. "Do you like ice cream, Ruki?"
"Um, I don't know," he answered quietly as he tugged an ear down. "There was only strawberry by the time I got through the lines and strawberries make me feel sick."
"You've never had ice cream?" he asked.
"Reita we have to get him some ice cream," Kai stated firmly before he patted the rabbits hand. "You're going to love ice cream, Ruki. It's cold and sweet and there are so many flavors to try. There's rocky road and mint chip, cookies n cream and bubblegum, fudge ripple and butter pecan,"
"I think he gets the idea, Kai," Reita cut him off with a laugh.
When they got to the ice cream parlor Kai immediately pulled the smaller hybrid straight up to the counter and named every flavor available. He also insisted that the rabbit try the each and every one of them, other than strawberry. By the time he had done that the little hybrid was already to full to get an actual ice cream. Uruha noticed the way his pets eyes had lit up when he tried the cappuccino and bought a quart to take home for him. They sat down at a table and as the others ate their treats, Ruki smiled happily. Uruha noticed that his fluffy little bunny tail wagged much like Kai's did when he was happy. It was one of the cutest things he had ever seen.
As Uruha unlocked his door and led his hybrid into his new home a thought occured to him. Since Reita had made the appointment and dragged him to the facility without prior notice he had nothing for the hybrid. Not even a bed for the poor little bunny to sleep in. He led to way to the empty room he had intended to make into a guest room and set the small box of Ruki's belongings down.
"This will be your room, Ruki. We'll have to get you a bed tomorrow when the stores open I'm afraid."
"Okay Master," he replied looking around the room curiously. He walked over to the closet and peered inside. "I like this room."
"That's not a room, it's your closet."
"I like the closet though, Master."
"Please don't call me Master."
"You are my Master though."
"I know that's what they taught you at the lab but it just sounds wrong. You're an intellegent being and having you call me your master makes me uncomfortable. Please just call me Uruha."
"I'm supposed to call you Master though," he said and sniffed a little.
"It's okay if you just call me Uruha. Kai is Reita's hybrid and he doesn't call him Master. So you don't have to call me Master."
"You would be happy if I call you Uruha?" he asked as he pulled one ear down to cover his face.
"Yes, I would be very happy if you call me Uruha," he told the shy little bunny and ruffled his soft black hair.
"Then I will call Master Uruha from now on," he said just before a large yawn escaped.
"Looks like somebunny is ready for bed. Come on Ruki, let's see about finding you a place to sleep."
"I can sleep in there," he pointed to the closet. "You can't sleep in a closet silly. There's not even enough room."
"Of course there is." To prove his point he scampered over and curled up in the corner of the small walk in closet. His eyes drooped sleepily and he smiled contently at Uruha.
"You should at least sleep on the couch until we can get you a bed."
"I like it here, Mas, Uruha," he said around another yawn.
"At least let me get you a pillow and blanket. The nights are getting cooler and I don't want you to get sick."
"If that makes you happy Uruha."
"I'll be right back," he told the sleepy hybrid. He came back and handed the oversized pillow and fluffy quilt to the bunny. "My room is right across the hall if you need anything else."
He watched as Ruki settled himself on top of the pillow and then covered himself completely with the blanket. Maybe it was rabbit thing, he thought in amusement. He switched the light in the bedroom off as he went out but left the door open. As he settled in his bed a little while later he heard the first raindrops begin to fall.
Uruha came awake slowly wondering what had woken him. There was a thunderstorm blowing ouside but those had never bothered him before. There was a loud clap of thunder followed by a muffled cry. What in the world was that, he wondered. Then he remembered the hybrid in the closet across the hall. He threw back the covers and hurried into the other room and headed to the closet. The blanket was quivering and he could now hear Ruki's soft sobbing. Reaching down he pulled back the corner of the quilt until he saw the hybrids head. The ears were pulled over his face with one hand while the other was fisted to the little pink lips.
"What's the matter, Ruki? Don't like storms?" he asked placing a comforting hand on the small shoulder.
"No," he said miserably.
"Why didn't you come tell me? Come on silly rabbit," he said as he held out a hand. "You can sleep with me tonight."
"I can?" one ear perked up.
"Of course. Is that okay with you?"
"Mhm," he nodded and wiped away a few tears.
"Let's go then."
Ruki climbed out from under the blanket and took Uruha's hand in both of his. Uruha led him into his room and pulled down the blanket other side of the bed. Ruki settled on the soft mattress and when Uruha brought the blanket up to cover him he disappeared under it. That was so adorable, Uruha thought as he got into the other side of the bed. He rolled onto his side facing the lump that was his hybrid. Said lump started wiggling and moving closer to him. As he watched the bunny sized lump settled against him and he felt the damp face press into his chest. One ear poked out of the blanket and the tip brushed his chin. Smiling he wrapped an arm about the sweet little bunny and whispered good night.
The next morning Uruha arrived at work before everyone else as usual. He was at his desk working his way through the overflowing in basket and Ruki was on the sofa contently playing games on Uruha's phone. The hybrid was wearing another generic outfit that he had brought with him from the facility. Uruha planned to leave work early to take the him shopping.
"Why am I not surprised you're the first one here?" Reita said as he entered after a single knock.
"Good morning to you, too."
"Morning. Seriously though, we're having a company party today and everyone is bringing their hybrids. Why are you here early to do paperwork? Did you wake poor Ruki at the crack of dawn to drag him here?"
"I had to come in early and get a headstart on all this," he gestured to the overflowing desk. "I need to take Ruki out today and do some shopping."
"I thought about that last night after I dropped you guys off. Kai, where are you?"
"Ta da!" the puppy said as he came in carrying a large shopping bag.
"This is some of Kai's old stuff and I thought maybe Ruki might like to look through it before we donate it," Reita offered.
"He's kinda little though. Do you think any of this will fit him?" Kai asked curiously.
"You used to be that size when I first got you so some of it should. Why don't you look through there Ruki?"
"Is that okay?" Ruki asked hesitantly as he looked at Uruha.
"Sure, maybe you can find something to wear until we go shopping this evening," Uruha told him.
Ruki placed the phone on the coffee table and edged towards the bag that Kai was holding out towards him. He carefully picked the first item from the top of the bag and examined it. It was a tshirt that would swallow the little rabbit so he folded it back up and set it aside. When he did that to the next three pieces of clothing Kai took matters into his own hands. The puppy upended the bag and started digging through the scattered mess. He picked things up at random and held them against the smaller hybrid checking the size. If it was too large he threw it over his shoulder and tried again. After he found a few outfits that he thought would fit he picked the pile up and dragged the bunny off. Reita gave his friend an amused look and started picking up the discarded clothing. He gave up on folding and ended up just stuffing everything back in the bag haphazrdly. By the time he had everything off the floor the two hybrids were back. Ruki looked a little shook up but he was now wearing a Rilakkuma tee and loose shorts instead of the standard scrubs from the facility.
"Kai, what did you do to Ruki?" Reita asked as the smaller hybrid half hid behind Uruha's desk. "and don't just drop that clothes on the floor like that."
"I didn't do anything," Kai said defensively. "Oh really? Why is he shivering and hiding then?"
"Well, he was taking a long time changing so I helped him a little."
"You helped him? Go apologize for scarring him," he scolded. "He's a little over enthusiastic when he's 'helping'."
"Sorry if I scarred you Ru-chan. You can come out now."
"Um," he said as he peeked out from behind the desk, his ears once again covering his face. "It's alright Ruki. He was just trying to be helpful," Uruha soothed. "I think I hear the rest of the office arriving. Would you like to go meet some of the other hybrids coming in today?"
"C'mon Ru, let's go meet them," Kai said as he knelt down in front of the skittish bunny hybrid.
"I don't know," he said, looking to Uruha.
"I'll be right there with you," Uruha said and held his hand out to his pet.
"Um, 'kay," he said as he released his ears and took Uruha's hand.
