Unohana's New Cat
Chapter 4

The Next Day….

Ichigo was chilling in Captain Unohana's pocket, feeling quite comfy as the captain carried him through the hallways. He was feeling a little apprehensive of his current caretaker at the moment. 'I have no idea how she's gonna feel when she finds out she's been doing all that stuff right in front of me after I turn back to normal. I'm more terrified she'll either rip me limb from limb or do things to me that would scare Kenpachi….'

The kitten's musings were disturbed when Captain Unohana stopped and he looked up. 'Speak of the devil….' His eyes widened when he saw Kenpachi standing before the two. 'Holy crap! He's even bigger than before!'

Ichigo watched as the two captains silently gaze at each other and had a weird feeling run through his fur, almost like he could feel the intense animosity between them. It made him hide his head in her pocket out of fear. 'Whoa! Was Kenpachi this terrifying when he was fighting me?'

The silence was so tense Ichigo thought he could chew on it with his teeth. Thankfully, the awkward situation was broken when Yachiru stuck her head out from behind Kenpachi's shoulder. She saw a certain kitten hiding in Unohana's pocket and her face lit up like it was her birthday times 10. "KITTY!" Both captains ended their mutual staredown at Kenpachi's daughter's bashfulness towards Unohana's new pet. Though Ichigo protested, Unohana reached down and pulled the kitten out of her pocket and knelt down.

"Can I pet him, Captain? Can I? Can I?" Yachiru asked with pleading eyes.

Unohana chuckled. "Of course, you can, Yachiru. Just be gentle with Little Ichigo."

"Yay!"

Ichigo felt her tiny hands run up and down his back and purred out of reflex. Handing him over, Yachiru held Ichigo close to her chest, her clumsy hands running her fingers behind his ears. It hurt Ichigo a little from how Yachiru petted him a little too hard but he endured it. He had no doubt that if he bit Yachiru, even out of reflex, then he'd end up as a fur covering on Kenpachi's eyepatch.

"Can I play with Little Ichi today, Captain Unohana? I promise I'll be nice to him!"

Unohana smiled. This was actually useful for her because it saved her the trouble of finding Yoruichi to see if she could watch over him again. "Of course you can. Promise you'll bring him back by this afternoon?" Yachiru happily nodded. Looking up Unohana saw Kenpachi nod in approval.

Ichigo gave a meowing protest as Yachiru carried him away. 'Help! I've been catnapped!'

Later that day….

'I swear, if I live to see tomorrow, I will never let Kon suffer at the hands of Yuzu again. Hell, I'll give him a dirty magazine to boot!'

Ichigo was sitting in the middle of Yachiru's room, wearing a doll's pink dress and a toy tiara on his tiny head. Currently he was "enjoying" the pleasure of having a tea party with Yachiru. All around him at a small table in the middle of Yachiru's room were loads of stuffed animals. On the center of the table was a pot of tea and several tiny cups.

While Ichigo was no stranger to tea parties, what with his younger sisters, especially Yuzu, doing it and all, this was the first time he'd been forced into one while wearing a ridiculous outfit and had to endure Yachiru's SUPER sweet tea. 'Good lord, Yachiru, did you just dump a pound of sugar into the pot and added water?'

Seeing something behind the girl, Ichigo looked past her out the window to see a certain black cat watching them from a yonder roof. While Ichigo didn't have razor sharp vision in his current form, he had the distinct impression that Yoruichi was laughing at him….

'I swear, if I live to see next week, I'm gonna shave every inch of fur off of her!'

Sadly, he'd have to endure his tea party first. He cringed as Yachiru pushed a cup of ultra-sweet tea in front of him. "More tea, Princess Ichi?" As Ichigo reluctantly drank the concoction, he wished that he'd never picked up that book for the umpteenth time….

Later That Evening….

Ichigo breathed a sigh of relief as Yachiru carried him back to Squad 4. All the way the tiny girl scratched Ichigo's ears, giggling as Little Ichigo purred. She found Captain Unohana in one of the Squad's medical rooms making her rounds. "Captain Unohana! I brought back Little Ichi!"

Unohana smiled as the tiny lieutenant handed over the kitten. "Thank you, Lieutenant Kusajishi. I hope Little Ichigo didn't give you any trouble."

"Nope! We had a lot of fun!" Yachiru patted Ichigo on the head before heading out the door. "Bye Little Ichi!"

Unohana waved goodbye to the girl before heading back to her room for the night. "Hehe," Unohana giggled as she carried Little Ichigo in her arms. "Did you have fun with Yachiru, Little Ichigo?" she asked as she scratched Ichigo behind the ears.

'Yeah, that was about as fun as fighting Kenpachi….'

Entering her room, Unohana set Ichigo down onto his pillow as usual and moved to undress herself for bed. She was stopped, however, when she heard a knock at the door. Putting on a nightrobe, Unohana opened the door to see Isane standing before her. Ichigo saw that the girl had a frightened look and her nightrobe was covered in sweat.

"Um… Captain? May I stay the night with you?" the lieutenant asked timidly. Unohana smiled at her adjutant and led her to the bed by the hand.

"Of course, Isane. Did you have another bad dream?" she asked as she sat down with Isane.

"Um… yes… I thought I was about to get eaten by killer strawberries…." Isane had her face facing down to try to avoid showing her embarrassed face. Ichigo, who had weird dreams himself, didn't laugh like most people would. Unohana, who was used to her lieutenants night terrors, didn't laugh either.

"It's alright, Isane, you aren't in any danger here." She patted Ichigo's head and smiled. "I'm sure Little Ichigo here will protect us both." Deciding to help the poor girl, Ichigo walked off the pillow and hopped into Isane's lap, snuggling into the lieutenant. Isane giggled at the softness of Ichigo's fur and scratched him behind the ears in thanks.

"See? He's a little guardian." Unohana pulled Ichigo away from Isane and undid the tie to Isane's nightrobe. "Here, Isane, let's get you out of those wet clothes. You'll catch a cold." Ichigo's eyes widened as Unohana pulled off Isane's garment, exposing her beautiful sweaty body to him. To help make her feel comfortable Unohana undid her own nightrobe, revealing her mature body to the two. Even though she was used to this sort of erotic treatment, Isane still blushed as she looked at her captain's beautiful, shapely body. Ichigo was scooped up by Unohana, who set him down on his pillow before pulling Isane close. Ichigo lay next to them as Unohana laid Isane's head on her chest, running a hand through her silver hair as she lulled her lieutenant to sleep. Finding the scene to be hot and somehow beautiful, Ichigo soon fell asleep, his mind coming up with several erotic images before it clicked off for the night….
