Chapter 4: Yuki
"This should be far enough I think."
I had just escaped the madhouse that was 12th company's laboratory after almost becoming a part of a science experiment so horrifying that I could only imagine it in my worst nightmares! Actually, whatever that mad scientist had in store for me was probably a hundred times worse than that. And as the Supreme Commander of the Secret Remote Squad and Punishment Force, that's saying something. My squad often carries out missions that are too gruesome for anyone to know about. But I still can't believe that he would try to experiment on me as a cat! Usually Kurotsuchi's always looking for human bodies as test subjects. What's worse is that it doesn't matter what type of condition the body is in when he gets it. It could be heathy, sickly, or even a corpse. As long as he has a body to use for his research he doesn't care.
By the time I had stopped running I was already halfway across the sereitei. If there was one thing that Mayuri Kurotsuchi, captain of 12th company was know for, it's that he will do anything for the sake of his research. Pursuing a cat around the entire soul society is not beyond this, so I wanted to discourage him as much as I possibly could. As long as there was room for me to escape, there was no way he, nor anyone in the Thirteen Court Guard Companies, would be able to catch me.
Still, what happened in there was certainly strange. If what Kurotsuchi said was true, then I should have died an extremely gruesome death the moment that beaker full of poison spilled all over me. Yet instead it had given me a somewhat ghostly appearance. What's more, I should have definitely been crushed by the spiked ceiling that came down on top of me and yet I was perfectly fine. I looked back at my fur. It had reverted to its previous indigo color. I hadn't realized that it had changed color since I ran through the wall to the outside. I can only assume that it had changed when I left the building. Likewise, it would probably be impossible for me to phase through any other solid objects while my fur is like this.
Before I had anymore time to think about what happened- "Grrrrroooooowwwwwl!" Oh, my stomach! I hadn't had anything to eat all day! And running around had made me exhausted. I fell on my side, too tired to stand upright. This day has been horrible so far. I was turned into a cat, chased out of my office, had poison spilled over top of me, almost ended up a research specimen, almost killed a number of different ways, and now I was so weak that I felt that I was about to die from hunger. There was no way that this day could get any worse.
"Hey, what's this? A cat?" Damn.
I felt myself being lifted off the ground and was soon staring face-to-face with 10th Company's lieutenant, Rangiku Matsumoto.
"Aww~, what an adorable kitty! What are you doing on the side of the road? Are you lost?"
Oh. My. God. Of all the people to find me, why did it have to be this big breasted bimbo? Although I have no personal grudges against her, this is the only woman who ticks me off every time I look at her. I understand that my breasts are somewhat underdeveloped and that there are many well endowed female soul reapers in the seireitei, but this woman parades around the fact that hers are especially huge. The vulgar way she wears her uniforms gives men the wrong impression that her boobs are so huge that they're about to burst out of her chest. Who the hell does she think she is! Miss Yoruichi's breasts are just as huge, but she would never announce it to the world like this woman does! (A/N: Actually she would and she would do it with the sole intention of having men eyeball her all day.) Also, there are women like Retsu Unohana and Isane Kotetsu, the captain and assistant captain of 4th Company. Both are well endowed women who wear their uniforms properly. They don't use their breasts as a way to persuade men to do whatever they ask like this woman does! (Although Unohana has no trouble persuading anyone to do as she says at all.)
Matsumoto took a moment to look at the rest of my body. "You don't seem to have a collar so I guess you don't belong to anyone. You poor thing, you're covered in dirt," she said. "I know! I'll take you to my squad's barracks and get you cleaned up!" With that she started walking toward 10 company's barracks, holding me firmly against her chest as she did so. It was a very comfortable ride, however I couldn't help feeling extremely annoyed for some reason.
"You really are an adorable kitty," she said to me as we walked. "You're so cute and you're fur is so pretty even though it's a little dirty. And since you don't seem to have an owner, I'll keep you as pet." I didn't answer back. One thing that was known about Matsumoto was that she liked to tease those who had misfortune concerning their appearance. She doesn't even mind making fun of captains either. I had a feeling that she would never let me live down that I became a cat, even if I find a way to change back.
"Hello Rangiku."
"Ah, Momo!" We turned to see Momo Hinamori walking toward us. She was holding a stack of papers in her arms. "How have you been?" Matsumoto asked.
"I'm fine, thanks."
Momo Hinamori, the assistant captain of 5th Company. Until recently, she was hospitalized in 4th Company's barracks for some time. This is a young girl who has suffered greatly the past year and all at the hands of Sosuke Aizen. From the ryoka incident to Aizen's betrayal, to the final battle with the Arrancars, she's had nothing but misfortune plague her. Although Izuru Kira and Shuhei Hisagi, both assistant captains of Squad's 3 and 9, were deeply hurt from Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tosen's betrayal, Aizen's betrayal almost cost Hinamori her life, twice. I know the feeling of being betrayed by the person you admire most, but for them to almost kill you must've been quite an ordeal to endure. She's a strong young girl, although I have to say that I'm a little concerned for her as well.
"Hey, is that a cat?" Hinamori asked while looking down at me. "How cute! Who does it belong to?"
"It doesn't have a collar, so I can't tell if it has an owner or not."
"Is it a male or a female?"
"I don't know." They checked. "It's a girl."
"What are you going to do with her?"
"I'm going to keep her as a pet?"
"But isn't it prohibited to keep pets in the company barracks?"
"So what? Captain Komamura gets to sleep in Squad 7's barracks."
"I don't think you can consider him as a pet..." (A/N: Captain Sajin Komamura is a wolf)
"Even so, he keeps Goro as a pet!"
"Goro?" Goro?
"Captain Komamra's pet dog. I've seen them go on walks together in the mountains of Rukongai."
"Really? Well then I guess it's okay...But will Shiro let you keep a pet?"
"Who, the captain? Don't worry about it. He's hardly around anywa-"
"There you are Matsumoto."
"C-Captain!" Suddenly, everything went dark. Apparently Matsumoto had stuffed me in her uniform in an attempt to hide me from Captain Tôshirô Hitsugaya of 10th Company.
"Why do you sound so surprised?" Hitsugaya asked. "And why are you wearing your uniform like that?"
"W-well, uh, it's just that it's so...so cold! It's so chilly these days that I just tightened up my uniform a bit, that's all."
"Really? It doesn't feel that cold to me. The weather's actually been pretty warm lately."
"Well of course it doesn't seem cold to you captain! How could someone who uses an ice zanpaku-tô feel cold at all!"
"That's not true! I get cold during the winter just like everyone else does."
Hinamori chimed in. "I think he just don't want to feel left out when everyone wears their winter clothes. Isn't that right Shiro?"
"M-Momo!" Hitsugaya sounded flustered. "H-How have you been? W-when did you get here?"
"I've been here the whole time! Don't tell me you just noticed me?"
"That's not true! I was just focused on talking to Matsumoto, that's all."
"You mean you were focused on her breasts, weren't you?"
"Really Captain? If you wanted to see my boobs all you had to do was ask."
"I was not staring at your breasts! I just came to tell you something!"
"Shiro, you're such a pervert."
"He is still a growing boy after all."
"I am not a pervert! And it's Captain Hitsugaya!"
Grrrrooooooooowwwwwwwl
"..."
"Uh, Matsumoto. Was that your stomach?"
"W-who me? It's nothing!
"Really? But that sounded like a loud growling sound just now..."
"I just haven't had anything to eat in a while, that's all. Really! Hahaha..." Well, what did you expect? I hadn't eaten all day and I was stuffed inside this airhead's uniform while the three of them were chattering for no reason. Not only was I hungry, now I was uncomfortable and, contrary to what Matsumoto just said, it was indeed fairly warm outside. I shifted my head a little and notice that I was right next to her nipple. Hmmm...Well they do say that cows with huge utters have good milk.
"Eeeep!" Matsumoto shrieked.
"What's wrong Matsumoto?" Hitsugaya asked.
"It's n-nothing...Just a cramp that's all." I continued.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
"Uhh...Matsumoto?"
"It's nothing, really! This cramp just really hurts that's all, ah!" I was finished. Surprisingly, her milk tasted better than I thought.
"Ooookaaay...," I could tell that Hitsugaya sounded a little disturbed. "Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I'm going out and won't be back for a while. I've finished all the paperwork so you don't have to worry about doing anything. Just make sure that nothing bad happens okay?"
"Yes,Captain."
"Well then, I'm off."
"See you later Shiro."
"It's Captain Hitsugaya," he called back as he left. When I couldn't hear his footsteps, Matsumoto let me out of her uniform.
"Are you okay Rangiko?"
"I am but the cat was sucking on my boob!"
"Well, unless that was your stomach growling, I think that she was very hungry."
"Yeah, well she didn't have to bite on my boob."
"Where's Shiro going anyway?"
"Probably out to train."
"Train?"
"Yeah, he's been training ever since the battle with the arrancars. He's upset because he couldn't do anything to stop Aizen and-" Her voice trailed off.
"And?"
"It's nothing. Anyway, it's been really empty in the office lately. I figured that having a cat would keep me company."
"That makes sense."
"Hey, are you busy tonight?"
"Not really. I just have to turn in these reports. I don't have any plans other than that." That's right. I had forgotten that just like Izuru and Hisagi, Hinamori has to take care the captain's duties until the position is filled.
"Great! Then can you stay with me tonight and help me take care of this cat?"
"Sure. I'd be glad to."
"Yay, a sleepover! It'll be great, just the three of us!" There is now way in hell that I'd allow myself to be someone's pet. Still, at least that solves my lodging problem tonight.
"What are you going to name her?"
"How about...Yuki."
Hinamori giggled. "Perfect."
It wasn't a bad name I guess.
o.O.o
A/N: Finally, chapter 4! Sorry it took so long. Besides not having time to write, I realized that I actually had writer's block. I can't write a story if I don't have fun writing it and the idea I had before seemed so boring. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please tell me what you think. I pretty much know how the rest of the story is going to play out, but if you have any requests let me know. It might help me release the next chapter faster! I'm sure you're dying to know if Soi Fon remains a cat or not. And before anyone asks, Yoruichi will definitely appear in the story, but not until the last chapter. Until then, enjoy the tails of Yuki. LOL.
