And somehow we're back again!

"Yay! So my life can continue?" The red haired shingaimi asked.

Well, yes, but because nothing interesting happened the rest of the night, we're just gonna skip ahead to the next day.


Placing the gigai carefully to the side, Kisuke looked at everyone currently gathered around the table for breakfast Two large--er, one person was missing from the group. "Hmm...where is Hotaru? Didn't anyone inform her of breakfast?" He asked, looking at Yoruichi who was currently back in cat form and lapping up some milk.

"If you know a way to wake her up, kindly let me know. I tried for over an hour to wake her up, but the girl sleeps like a rock." The black cat said, pulling her face out of the bowl to look up at him.

"Even my endeavors to awaken her were in vain," Tessai added, "We all tried to pull her out of sleep, but nothing worked."

Jinta continued stuffing his face. "I bet she's just lazy."

"Well, when you two finish," he looked at Jinta and Ururu, "start straitening up the shop. I'll go wake her up." The green clad man turned around and made his way toward the guest room where his newest house mate was currently residing. And there she was, sprawled out across her futon completely stark-naked. Although she did have a blanket covering...essential areas. Resisting the urge to "accidentally" pull off the blanket, he walked closer to her. "She really has grown. It's so odd to think of her as that little girl who used to need a stool around at all times so she could could get to things everyone else could reach. She's still quite short, now that I think about it. Probably only five feet tall. But with that chest..." Shaking his head he brought his focus back to her face. "She's still her. I can see it in her face. But, she's much more beautiful than adorable now."

She moaned quietly in her sleep, her facial features contorted slightly. "Ki-Kisuke..."

He put his hand to her face in a comforting manner, and immediately she relaxed. "I wonder what she could have been dreaming about." Seeing her leaning against his hand and the slight pout her lips held sent waves of urges through his body. "If she's really such a hard sleeper then she shouldn't wake up for this..." He leaned down close to her perfectly smooth lips, feeling her hot breath on his lips, and carefully kissed her. Her lips were everything he assumed they'd be, and more. But as he pulled back, she whined lightly in her sleep. Smiling down at her Kisuke decided it was time to actually wake her up.

"Taru-chan, it's time to get up." Not even a twitch out of her. He pushed her gently, but the best thing he got out of that was her rolling over. Deciding not to try the easy ways, he picked her up, and the clothes next to the bed, and took her down to the basement and simply dropped her in the hot spring.

That was more than enough to wake up the young woman. She stood up, spitting out water and coughing, glaring at Kisuke. "What was that for?!" She whined loudly.

He smiled down at her, "You wouldn't wake up."

Glaring up at him and placing her hands on her hips she stuck her tongue out at him. "You're so mean sometimes!" A malicious grin spread across her face as she stared at him. Without saying a word, she quickly grabbed onto him, and pulled him into the spring causing his hat to go flying as he fell on top of her.

Laughing heartily as they surfaced, they finally noticed just how close the two truly were. A silence fell over both of them, although it wasn't an awkward one, far from it. Both were currently thinking the same thing. "This is my chance!" Hotaru was the first one to make a move. She quickly jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck, as her legs found their way around his waist, while her lips were busy attacking his with an extremely hot kiss. It was with so much force that she jumped on him and caused him to fall back down into the hot, steamy water again.

Although he was a bit startled by her rather...aggressive actions, he soon found himself putting as much into the kiss as she was. Pushing his tongue into her mouth he felt around every corner of the deliciously moist cavern, as his hands freely roamed her curvaceous figure eventually resting on her ass. Though this was everything Kisuke had dreamed about, he still couldn't shake off thoughts of her being that innocent you girl whom he had just brought into his squad. "No," he thought to himself. "She's not that little girl anymore, she's a fully grown woman now."

Feeling his hesitation, the young shinigami pulled back. "What's wrong, Kisuke-kun?"

"It's nothing." He mumbled, admiring her perfectly elegant facial features. Those features wrinkled in a skeptical look. Sighing he continued, "I just can't help but think of you like I did when you were younger."

She let go of the hold she currently had on her former captain and looked down at her hands. "Well, maybe that just means we should take this relationship slowly. I mean, I'm not going anywhere soon."

Smiling down at Hotaru, he lifted her head and lightly kissed her on her lips. "Sounds like a plan."

"Ah, there you two are." In her small black cat form, Yoruichi sat on one of the large rocks around the spring. They both looked at her before smiling at each other and getting out of the spring. Hotaru quickly put on the clothes Kisuke had brought down. "Well, I thought we would go shopping now that your gigai is ready."

"Oh yay!" The red head squealed, picking up the small cat and making her way out of the basement as quickly as she could. Seeing her gigai she dropped her catty friend and jumped up and down. "This is so exciting! It's a perfect match!"

"Well, don't take too much time admiring it, we've got a lot of shopping to do, and then I've got things I must see too."

The young shinigami nodded in response, and quickly got into the faux body. "It's kinda snug." She muttered, adjusting the way it fit on her breasts.

"It will have to do, come now let's go." The cat said, walking out of the shop.

"Wait!" It took a few moments for her to get adjusted to the gigai, then Hotaru ran after the cat. "How are we going to pay for all of this?"

Stopping to look up at her dear friend, the small cat's eyes gleamed dangerously as she grinned widely...well, as wide as a cat can grin. "Check your pockets."

She reached into the pocket of Kisuke's pants she was currently wearing and pulled out a small card. "Oooh...that works for me." Smiling widely, she let Yoruichi sit on her shoulders as she skipped off into town.

Despite receiving many strange looks from the people around, the short shinigami was having a generally good time. At her first store one of the managers helped her find a bra that would fit her large chest. Double D's were even kinda small, but it was the largest bra they had, so she just settled for that. Having her breast fully supported made them seem even larger, which in turn made it even harder to find clothes that would fit. But eventually the two found a store that had stylish clothes that were perfect for her small, but curvy form.


How will Kisuke react when he finds out how much money our heroine spent?

"Oh, Kisuke-kun will be fine!" Hotaru waved off any worry. "He'll be fine! And now I look great!"

Sure, you keep thinking that...


It was past late, and Kisuke was beginning to wonder where his former underling was at. The shop had been closed for a while already, and Jinta and Ururu had already gone to sleep.

"I'm home!" The purple eyed shinigami waltzed in through the main entrance, carrying so many bags she couldn't see in front of her. "Kisuke-kun? Are you up?"

Tessai walked up to the girl and took her bags. "Let me take care of those."

Grinning brightly at him she nodded. "Thank you, Tessai-san!" Skipping gleefully into the back room, she noticed Kisuke sitting at the table and sipping a cup of tea. She jumped on his lap and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Kisuke-kun! I had so much fun today! Thank you so much!"

Trying his hardest not to focus on her squirming around in his lap, he smiled down at her. "It's good to hear you had a good time. But, where is Yoruichi? And why are you thanking me?"

"Yoruichi-chan said she had some things she wanted to do. And I was thanking you for making this gigai, and letting me use this!" She quickly reached into the bra she was wearing and pulled out his card. He paled slightly at thinking how much money she actually spent. "Now, I'm going to go put away my new outfits! Then I think I'll turn in for the night. Who knew shopping could wear you out like this?" This time pecking him on the lips she put the card back in to her bra and got up and proceeded to skip to her bedroom.


The next day, Ururu and Jinta were up bright and early, sweeping up the entrance to the shop when an early visitor came. Hotaru, surprisingly was up just around that time, freshly bathed and dressed in one of her more casual outfits, consisting of stylishly fitting jeans and a tee-shirt that had a bunny on the front that strangely resembled Chappy the Bunny. Skipping into the front of the shop, she noticed the not so strange to her visitor talking with Kisuke. "Rukia-chan?" She asked, staring at her curiously. The last time she'd seen Rukia, they had been eating lunch together in Seireitei.

"Hotaru-chan? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be back in Soul Society? And is that Chappy the Bunny on your shirt?!" Now ignoring her previous conversation she had been having, the younger shinigami walked over to her bosomy friend.

"Yes it is! Isn't it cute? And, well, you know how Mayuri-taichō is! He finally sent me on a mission, and, well, I'm not going back anytime soon. So, I figured, why not go visit my dear friend Kisuke? And this is where I'm at now!" Hotaru scratched the back of her head and laughed. "So what are you doing here?"

Looking away she frowned. "It's only a temporary thing, I shouldn't be here much longer."

She knew what was wrong, she could hardly feel her friends reiatsu, but she smiled nonetheless. "Well, why don't we hang out together while you're here then? I can treat you to lunch!"

Smiling lightly, the darker haired shinigami nodded. "I'd like that."

"Great, let's go!" The red head cheered, jumping up and down excitedly.

"But, Taru-chan, Kuchiki-san still needs to finish her purchase." Kisuke said, holding up the item Ururu had just gotten out of the storage room. "Then you two can have your fun."

"Oh right!" She laughed, rubbing the back of her head nervously. "I forgot, go ahead." Quickly finishing the purchase Rukia took her things and she and Hotaru were off. But, not before the buxom girl kissed the shop owner on the cheek. "Bye, Kisuke-kun! I'll be back later!"

He nodded, scanning her over. "Hopefully not as late as last night."

"No, not that late," She shook her head. Then turned her attention back to her dark haired friend. "C'mon, Rukia-chan, let's go!"


And soon, more problems arrive when the specialty items attack!!!

"Wow, that's extremely lame." Hotaru rolled her eyes.

Hey, let's see you narrate "the Adventures of Dead Girl"!

She stuck her tongue out at the narrator and turned toward the audience. "And next time on You'll be Mine...Just You Wait and See, I take over the narrators job!" She turned back to the Narrator. "So, take that!!"
