An update! I was really inspired to write when I was in London but when I came home my cat had escaped *Sad face* But thankfully people actually read the local newspaper ads where I live and I was able to find him! Yey! So feel updated!

The boy warrior that had survived a war and countless fight, a pure killing machine some would say, was sitting in the kitchen of a mad scientist drinking tea, his large white fluffy ears twitching. Opposite of him sat Rukia. The shinigami with a love for bunnies was a very ecstatic shinigami. Now one of her best friends was one, well, sort of.

"Ichigo! I have to touch them! Let me, let me, let me!" The small girl was drooling and bouncing up and down at the same time. Not a pretty sight.

"Rukia…," he began. She interrupted with the biggest puppy eyes ever seen in the world's history. "Fine."

The petite shinigami all but threw herself at him. As she pushed him to the floor, she straddled him and now sat comfortable on his chest. Rukia slowly reached out her hands and petted his ears, starting from the bas sliding up towards the tip.

"They're so soft, like silk," she murmured "But cool to the touch."

"Ruki-"

"Well, isn't this a pretty sight," Urahara's voice cut short whatever Ichigo was going to say. The two on the floor froze before they looked over at the doorway where the store owner stood leaning on his cane. "Mind if I join?" He flashed a perverted grin. Rukia gave the ears one last pet before she slid of Ichigo and allowing him to sit up.

"Shut it, perv," Ichigo grumbled. "It's starting to look like you wanted this to happen."

"Of course not, that would be highly immoral and unethical. I would never use a sweet girls attempt to help a friend to test out my new experiment that I haven't been able to find willing test subjects for."

"NO WAY! You actually did it on purpose?" Ichigo angrily tried to stand up to throttle the scientist but was hindered by Rukia grabbing his tail.

"Ooh, Ichigo, it's so cute!" she said and pulled at it softly. Ichigo felt a shiver go down his spine and blushed.

"Were you even listening!" yelled Ichigo slapping her hand away. It made Rukia look him in the eyes for the first time since she saw his ears.

"No… But boy do you look cute when you're angry!" She smiled.

"Urahara did this on purpose!" He gestured angrily at his head.

"He did?" Rukia looked over at the pervert. "Good job!" She gave him two thumbs up.

"Rukia!" whined Ichigo. "This i-"

"ICHIGO!" He was interrupted for the second time by his friends crashed through the door.

No way! Orihime-chan was right! Rangiku shrieked before launching herself at the terrified boy knocking him to the floor again. "Bunny-chan!"

"I thought this was one of Orihime's fantasies…," said Tatsuki as she walked into the room. She reached out and touched the tip of one of the ears. "Soft"

"Cou… could you… Get off!" Ichigo shoved at Rangiku, finding it hard to breath because of massive bosom blockage to airway.

"Matsumoto!" an irritated Toushirou growled "Can you at least pretend to act like a lieutenant"

"But Captain," Rangiku pouted "Renji is also playing with the bunny." She pointed at the redheaded lieutenant who held a blushing Ichigo to his chest as he stroked an ear. Ikkaku poked the other with a face full of disbelief.

"Just because he's a baboon does not mean you should to be one too"

"Hey, I resent that!" Renji interfered angrily.

"And I resent being treated like an animal!" Ichigo elbowed Renji in the stomach making the other grunt and ducked under the arm that was holding him. "I'm out of here!"

He stormed out of the room slamming the door but not before he heard an outcry containing variations of Ichigo and bunny. He shuddered as he ran. Seeing the front door his hope rose but was promptly pounced on by Yoruichi in human form but with clothes on so all in all not that embarrassing.

"And where is this little bunny going I wonder?" Her sharp teeth sparked as she leered down at him.

"Out!" He tried to shove her off to make a run for it again. "I can't stand being here a second longer, not with all those crazy freaks in there!"

"Really, out?" Her smile grew bigger. "Never thought you craved attention that much."

"Attention?"

"Yeah, with those appendages you'll be front page news nationwide. Maybe even globally."

"No," he sniffed ears drooping. "So I can never leave?"

"Didn't say that my fluffy friend, you just need to control it." Yoruichi got up and pulled the teen with her. "Basically your ears and my cat abilities should be the same. I'll teach you how to return into human at will and then you're free to go."

"Will it take long?" he wondered ears perking.

"It'll take as long as it takes. Call you dad, tell him you're staying here for a while. Kisuke should have already asked your friends to leave."

….oooooOOOOOooooooo…

"Ichigo! You have to concentrate!" A tired cat yelled at her apprentice. "You have to keep your form even under pressure!"

"I trying! But the pervert is trying to kill me!" The boy yelled back and he jumped to the side avoiding an attack to his legs. The mod soul that was attacking looked a lot like Urahara, but was a more outgoing pervert.

"Nooo, I would never kill you, Bunny-love! I just want to hug you, cuddle and touch you all over!" The mod soul threw himself at the teen but missed by a hair.

"Leave me alone creep!" Ichigo hit the soul's jaw successfully dislocating it. The force of the blow launched the soul right into a boulder. It didn't get up after that.

"Very good Kurosaki-kun," the other pervert said from where he stood besides Yoruichi. "You managed to keep your human form all through the fight. I would say you are okay to go outside now."

"Yes, I agree," Yoruichi said with a nod.

"Yes! Normal life here I come!" Ichigo flashed-stepped to the front door and was outside before the other two could exchange glances. "I never thought I would miss the sun so much!"

"Just don't get lured in by any strange men and you'll be fine," Yoruichi yelled from inside the store.

….ooooOOOOoooo…..

Everything was going great. He was back to school, finally catching up in his studies. At home goat face wasn't trying to kill him since he was at a conference in Sapporo and the twins joined him to go skiing. House for himself, nice weather and no shinigami since of the festival held there. He was invited of course but declined; the Shinigami Women's Association had made taking pictures of him with his ears a top priority. With Yachiru as president meant that he had Kenpachi after him. He shuddered at the thought. As he took the shortcut through the old park he was distracted by a pair of white clothed legs sticking out from behind a tree. The pants looked like the ones worn by Aizen's army. Focused on tree were most likely an enemy hid behind he reached for his badge. His foot snagged on root, effectively managing to trip him. He fell head first into the tree he was trying to sneak around making him drop butt first onto the ground.

"Ow" he whimpered holding his throbbing head.

Just how clumsy could he be! As he reprimanded himself for being stupid a shadow was casted over him. Ichigo looked up seeing a tall man in backlight. Blinking he recognized him.

"Stark?" His voice sounded a lot smaller than he wanted. "Aren't you supposed to be dead?"

"Kurosaki Ichigo, did you always have those bunny ears?"

…..ooooooOOOOOOOoooooooo…

Oh noose! A cliffhanger! Or is it? *Wiggles eyebrows suggestively* No, it is… and I wish I actually could wiggle my eyebrows. I was going to finish it today, but the time just slipped through my fingers soooo, instead of waiting until I have time (after Christmas) I thought a small update is the way to go.

Play nice and be ice ice baby! That is one cool baby….
