A/N: Hello, everyone! It's been a very, very, long time since I've updated with anything! I feel incredibly guilty for not writing anything at all to share with everyone. September was the start of school again, October turned pretty hectic, November was even MORE hectic and I tried writing an original story, which didn't work out with the lack of time I had, and now it's December! I'm on winter break now, so I thought I should do something since I check this place for any new stories to read. It reminded me about this.

You see, waaaaay back in August, I participated in the IchiRuki FC's challenge for Ichigo's birthday over at Bleach Asylum(I'm never there anymore). I wrote seven short drabbles every day, and shared it with the FC. I was planning on posting them up here, but I had kind of forgotten.

But now, I'll be posting each of the super short stories in these last two weeks of the decade! So please, enjoy!

Another note, these all range from K to Teen, I'll provide all the notes for the story in each chapter, including the rating.

Disclaimer: Bleach is not by me, but by the ever so amazing(and good looking) Kubo Tite! Seriously, compared to other Mangaka, he's pretty.

Cat Form

Rating: K+

Characters: Ichigo, Rukia, Karin, Yuzu, and kittens.

"Ichi-nii, look! We found some stray kittens! They looked really
Hungry, so Karin-chan and I picked them up!
"What? You don't pick up stray animals! How you even found them just around
Outside isn't normal, but you have to drop them back!" Ichigo scowled.
"What-?! But, they were so cute, and looked so skinny… W-we had to save them!" Yuzu cried,
Her eyes watering.
"Uh-" Ichigo didn't know what to say, once Yuzu's water works started.
Rukia just had to show up at that minute.
"Hey, are these cats?" She looked down at the mewing creatures in wonder.
"Their only little kittens! Rukia-chan, we have to keep them, but Ichi-nii says we have to leave them out in the streets!" Yuzu cried. Karin was remaining silent through the whole conversation.
"Ehh, that doesn't sound like Kurosaki-kun at all." Rukia gave a sideways glance, using her false voice.
"Please, Ichi-nii! We can't let them die!" Yuzu picked a black one and brought it up to Ichigo's face, tears daring to roll down her face.
"Please Ichigo?" Rukia asked in her sweet tone. Ichigo glared at the shinigami, who was carrying 3 kittens in her arms.
"Why are you siding with Yuzu-?!" Ichigo exclaimed.
"Come on, Ichigo! At least give them something to eat for today." His glare turned to the smirking Karin.
"Come on Yuzu-chan; let's go get some food ready for the kittens!" Rukia smiled and turned towards the kitchen, Yuzu following her just as bubbly.
"W-wait, I didn't say you could keep the cats!" Ichigo called out.

Protesting was useless to him now, after they prepared small bowls of fish for each of the five kittens. Now Yuzu and Rukia were playing with the kittens with strings, as Karin watched over on the couch, having her own on her lap.
"Hey Ichigo, look at this one!" Rukia walked over to him carrying on of the kittens, the orange on in the litter. "Look, it seems to be scowling just like you!" She joked, pointing to its puffy face.
"We should call this one Ichigo!" She announced, holding it up above her head.
"What? I don't look like a cat!" Ichigo stared at the furry creature that now shared his name.
"How cute, and this black one should be Rukia-nee!" Yuzu called out. She lifted said kitten, then handed it over to Ichigo.
"Rukia…?" Ichigo brought the kitten up to his eye level and looked straight into its eyes. All the cat had going to being similar to the said shinigami was the black in relation to her hair.
"This doesn't look like you at all." He commented, staring back at her. Rukia, the kitten, began sniffing Ichigo, the substitute. It gave a small 'mew' and began rubbing its head against his arm as he held it.
"Well, if you say so Ichigo," Rukia smirked at the site of Ichigo holding Rukia, the kitten, "I think this Ichigo is like yourself in cat form!" She brought the kitten close to her in a slight embrace, making Ichigo blush.
Ichigo, the kitten, responded warmly to her hug as he licked her cheek, earning a genuine giggle from the shinigami. Ichigo stared in shock from the sound she emitted as the kitten in his arms emitted a similar noise.
"Look, Ichigo's licking Rukia, like a kiss!" Karin called out.
"Shut up!"

A/N: Hope you enjoyed reading that short thing! The next chapter will come out in either one or two days!

If you have a second(and you do if you're reading this) please leave just a short review. Thanks!
