Rampant Rabbit

Thanks for all the reviews. Hope you enjoy this chapter. Any mistakes are mine. I do not own Rise of the guardians.

Chapter seven

Bunny woke up to the sound of birds singing, and the gentle snoring of North. Bunny opened his eyes to find himself laying over North body, North's semi erection brushing against his thigh.

"Bunny..." North muttered in his sleep, bunny biting his lip to stop himself from laughing. He slid down North's chest until he was eye level with his cock, and gentle started to lick the head. He licked North's cock like a child would an ice lolly, long slow licks from the bottom up and back down again. North moaned and arched his hips slightly. Bunny took North's ball sack and started to roll it around in his paw as he continued to lick the shaft.

"More..Bunny.." North moaned, slowly waking up as he bought his hands to bunny's head and gently guided him back to the head.

"What do you want Mate?" asked Bunny as he licked the slit, as pre-cum dripped out.

"Your mouth, take me in to your mouth, my beautiful rabbit"

"Anything you want Mate" with that he took as much as he could in to his mouth. North gasped at the warm, wet sensation around his penis, as Bunnymund began to suck. All too soon, North released and Bunny guzzled it down. North pulled Bunny up and gently kissed him on the lips, tasting himself. Bunny then curled up on North's side, resting his head against North's shoulder.

"That was a lovely wakeup call my heart. Would you like me to return the favour?"

Bunny shook his head "No, Not yet anyway. I'd love to show you around though. The last time you came here, you and the others were so busy with the Easter eggs that you really didn't get to look round."

"I'd like that, but let's stop back at your place first so I can dress. I do not wish to alarm your stone guards"

Both guardians laughed as they walked back hand in hand. On the way back, Bunny pointed out a few things to North, explaining their origins to him. North simply nodded, absorbing everything Bunny told him, enjoying the vibrant look on his love face. They entered Bunny's home, and North quickly picked up his underwear and trousers.

"I'll go to the bathroom to freshen up" said North.

"I'll start getting breakfast together" said Bunny as he went to his kitchen. Bunny poured himself some raspberry tea, and looked around for something for North, as he didn't have any coffee. Deciding that a large glass of milk would be best, Bunny started making a fruit salad from them when the door knocked. Bunny frowned, he rarely got visitors, and when he did most would send a note along first to make sure it was alright to do so. Picking up one of his boomerangs, he went and answered the door, only to find a very worried Cupid and Aphrodite.

"Hey you two. what's wrong?" asked Bunnymund as he allowed them inside.

"Big trouble Bunnymund. Once Cupid told me what happened, I knew we had to talk to you and the other guardians as quickly as possible" said Aphrodite biting her lower lip as she sat down.

"How did you know I was here?"

"We went to the pole first and a yeti told us that you and North were here. Where is North?"

North appeared topless as he entered the living area oblivious to the fact that he had company.

"Bunny had you seen my shirt? Oh! Cupid and Aphrodite I didn't hear you come in"

Both Bunny and Cupid quickly looked around for the shirt while Dite went a pretty shade of pink, while continued to stare at North's chest. After looking around, Bunny realised what Dite was sitting on.

"Dite, your sitting on North's shirt. Can he have it back?"

"Certainly...in a few minutes or so"

"Mum" shouted Cupid as he went red from embarrassment. Dite snorted as she got up and handed the top to North.

"What a waste" she muttered.

"They said they've got something important to tell us North" said Bunnymund as he positioned himself in-between North and Aphrodite. Aphrodite rolled her eyes as she sat back down.

"I was looking over someone due to fall in love when I noticed Pitch" explained Cupid, his wings fluttering in annoyance.

"Pitch? You sure?"

"It was him, out in broad day light. When I confronted him, he simply said he didn't have time for me, and put on a necklace. No sooner was it around his neck, he changed in to a human man. He walked right though me. He could still hear and see me, but there was nothing I could do. He met up with some man in a black suit and glasses and spoke as if they were old friends. He gave Pitch a envelope with a phone , passport and other things he might need. Even said something about an apartment. Once they parted ways, Pitch pretended to be on the phone to talk to me., he said only he could see and hear me, so he had to make it look like he was on the phone, so people didn't think he was mad. He told me to mind my own business and said there was nothing that you guys could do to stop him."

Both North and Bunnymund looked shocked and worried. They stared at each other then back at Cupid.

"Pitch has a human foam? and you could do nothing to him?" said Bunny as he tried to get his head round the thought.

"I'd tried to hit him more than once, and he walked thought me as if I wasn't there!"

"The necklace, the one that he dropped in the potion when I was being held in that cell. That what the potion was, to turn Pitch human. The children said that he was leaving his title to Oogie didn't they?" North started pacing rubbing his chin, as the others looked on concerned.

"North, you're not making sense" said Aphrodite as she got up and walked over to him. "What cell? What children?"

"When we were in Halloween town, North was taken by Oogie's henchmen Lock, Shock and Barrel. Turns out all the trouble they caused was on his and Pitch's orders. Oogie made this potion that Pitch wanted, in exchange for being the nightmare king" explained Bunnymund.

"But why become human? What can he do as a human being? Cupid, the man he met with, your sure was human?" demanded North.

"Without a doubt. He said something about Pitch not disappointing them, so it sounds like he's gotten in with a seriously big group or at least a powerful one"

"But if Pitch is human when he wears that necklace and is working with humans...there is nothing we can do. I mean, yes sure children can see us, but adults will dismiss anything the children will say about it" said Aphrodite as she walked over to Cupid looking more and more worried.

"We will think of something. We'll call the others and discuss this with Man in Moon. He'll know what to do. Also I'll send message to Jack Skellington to see if he has or hasn't destroyed that potion yet and ask him to keep it if he hasn't. Don't worry Dite, we will sort this out. Once we know anything we will let you know" said North as he smiled at her, Dite blushed slightly nodding before disappearing with Cupid.

"This is really bad isn't?" said Bunnymund in a worried tone, as he took North's arm. North wrapped his arm around Bunnymund's waist and sighed deeply.

"Yes love, it is going to be very bad"

Pitch stood tall over the crowd of people before him, many of them refusing to look him in the eye. He was in a warehouse in Europe, quite deep and detached from the main city, but still close enough to the slums. Many of the large group did not speak the native tongue, and were underweight and dirty. The adults were any age while the children started at four or more. All looked at him with a great respect and fear, Pitch practically glowed with joy.

"How much are we paying them?" he asked the man that was giving him the tour.

"A hundred euro a week. It's all they can afford. Most of them are still paying for their paperwork"

Pitch chuckled and looked down at a dirty little girl with blonde hair. She had briefly looked up at him and when he noticed, looked back down. He patted her on the head and she looked nervously back up. Pitch smiled and addressed the crowd.

"Now you don't need to worry, we're just making a few changes that's all. You work hard and you'll be fine. Don't..." Pitch grabbed and twisted the girls hair, the child crying out in pain. "and you will suffer for it"

He let her go and wiped his hand on his trousers, as he followed his guide out. He followed him in to an office like room where a few men in similar black suits were waiting for him. Most of them in their old age, with their gray hair and wrinkled faces.

"Gentleman thank you for seeing me" said Pitch as he took everyone's hand.

"We have all heard the outline of this plan of yours Mr. Black but perhaps you could tell us more?" said the oldest man in the room. Everyone took a seat and waited for Pitch to begin.

"The economy is in a terrible situation is it not? Money is simply going down the drain, being wasted. People wanting large amounts of time off to spend with their families. Well...there is nothing wrong with that of course, but they all want it at the same time. And why? Because of Holidays! We have almost 24 hour shopping at our leisure but there are certain days were everything is shut and why? Because of Holidays. People sending stupid amounts of money on these holidays instead of putting it to better use. How much can an average person spends on holiday cards alone on the avenge year? It is quoted to be between A hundred to two hundred dollars a year. And what do they do with their cards once their done? They threw them away. It's the same with decorations, use for one day of the year and in the bin the next. Yes we all had a great time but now we've got to pay the bill, oh wait there is another holiday coming up, I'll put off paying it till then. And so on and so on. I have no problem with people wanting a break from work, I understand better than most how bad it can be. What I don't like is the waste of money. Money spent on these holidays based round old gods and idols that don't even exist. Money that could be used to feed and clothe their children. Collage funds. Houses. Savings"

"So your saying, convince the people to spend their money more wisely. On more expensive things for the future rather on silly past times of the now?" said another old man, the light reflecting off of his head.

"In my day, we didn't celebrate anything. We couldn't afford it! It was more important to have food on the table, then to decorate a tree." said another.

There were murmurs of agreement and Pitch could practically see the wheels turning in the greedy men's mind.

"My dear gentlemen, I think we can all agree that the holidays are just not what the people need. It's time to get back to basics. With the help of the media, we will convince the people that there are more important things in life then Easter eggs and Valentine's. We'll get them to trust us, and once they do, the interest alone will make it all worthwhile"

"Very well Mr. Black...we're in. Start operation End the holidays "

"I've already took the liberty. As we speak, leaflets are being delivered to every door, advertisements are showing up on the internet and our website is already excepting members. The AHC, or the anti-holidays committee has already over 300 members since yesterday when we launched and we're taking on more as we speak. All for a small entrance fee"

To say that Sandy was upset to be summoned a second time in so many days to the North Pole would be an understatement, and Tooth was not that much happier either. Unlike their fellow guardians, they had to work every night, so for whatever reason North had called them for it had better be good. They found North and Bunnymund talking animatedly in the globe room.

"Welcome!" said North as Tooth and Sandy approached "We have a very serious situation"

Sandy created an image of a pumpkin with a question mark. Bunny shook his head.

"No mate, nothing to do with Halloween this time. Its Pitch! Pitch was working with Oogie to make a potion to turn Pitch human whenever he wore some necklace."

Sandy and Tooth looked at each other horrified at the thought of Pitch being human and what he could do.

"What is worse, is that he already has human allies to help him. Cupid ran in to Pitch when he was chatting to one of them"

"So what are we going to do? and where is Jack?" asked Tooth as she looked around for the young guardian.

"I'm here!" said Jack as he flew in on the wind, he was slightly out of breath and holding a large container. "Jack Skellington says this is all that's left of that potion North. Lock, Shock and Barrel, said that Pitch use to disappear for hours at odd times and now again mention someone called Joseph, but that's it"

"Not much to go on" muttered Bunnymund as he handed Jack a cup of water.

"I did not expect much. Thank you Jack" said North as he looked up at the large glass ceiling waiting for the moon to show up. "We can only hope that Manny has some kind of plan."

Sandy created an image of children playing, then changing them in to armour.

"We thought of that, but it would only put the children in danger. We do not know who Pitch's human allies are but their adults and they could be dangerous" said Bunnymund.

"Does anyone know what Pitch is actually up too?" asked Tooth as she sat down next to Jack.

"Whatever it is, it's going to be really bad" said Jack as moon light filled the room.

"Manny, I'm sure you know about Pitch already. What must we do?" North called out to the moon. The moonlight narrowed down to the guardian symbol on the floor, where it cast the shadow of a young woman. Everyone looked confused, as the shadow shifted in to a shield and a branch of holly.

"That looks like a policeman shield, so we're looking for a female officer" said Jack "I don't get the holly part"

"That's her name! Manny, I'm against this!" shouted North, which startled the others, as North always acted on Manny's orders no matter what he might feel about them. "I'm not getting her involved"

"Who? North, if Manny is saying that this woman can help us, then we got to get her involved. Do you know her or something?" asked Tooth as she fluttered around the large man. North refused to look at anyone as he glared down at the shadow image.

"Detective Holly Layton, she's to me what Jamie and Sophie is to Jack and Bunnymund. Only...she has never stopped believing in me. She writes to me all year round and I reply. We're...close"

Sandy started to wave a pair of sand handcuffs around, grinning madly as if he was trying to laugh.

"Yes Sandy, she was the one that almost arrested me for breaking and entering. She hadn't turn the lights on in her apartment when I was there and thought I was a burglar. She was very sorry when she realised it was me. She does a very important job and a dangerous one, I do not want her getting mixed in with Pitch"

Jack and Bunnymund understood what North meant, they would never put their humans at risk not like this. Tooth bit her lip and Sandy frowned trying to think of a way around the situation.

"Manny must have a plan North, I'm sure he would not want Holly to lose her job or anything. Why don't we bring her here and at least ask her? She may not help but she could at least give us some pointers right?" said Jack leaning on his staff.

Sandy showed a yeti with a sack and nodded, but North did not look convinced. He rubbed his eyes and sighed loudly, Bunny put his paw on his back to comfort him.

"It will not hurt to ask her a few things North. We don't know what Pitch is up too or how many humans he's working with. We need her help Mate"

"Alright...Phil, Steve go and get Holly. Henderson, go to Holly's apartment and get her things, laptop and change of clothing. Anything you think she might need"

The three yetis saluted and ran off to get the snow globes that would take them to their destination.

Holly Layton was sitting in her cubicle, planning on working in to the night to finish her paperwork. She was 5'5 with a petite frame. Her long brown wispy hair was piled up and pinned, allowing the longer bits to frame her heart shaped face. Her bright green eyes and pale complexion were complimented by her light grey suit, with white shirt. What she made up in lack of breasts (c-cup) she made up in her hips, that certainly got a few hearts pounding when she swayed them. She had a sharp mind and was mainly known for her smile and lay backed nature, which was unusual for a detective. She laid down her file, with a happy smile. She had finished, good bye paperwork on the drug lord she had put away last night. Now he was going to jail and the cocaine he was trying to sell on the streets had been destroyed. she started cleaning up her desk, getting ready to go home for the night, when something hit the floor. In was a thin yellow file, not one of hers she was sure. She picked it up and looked inside. It was about a man called Joseph Markowitz's, a member of B.A.N.K. He was rich and rumored a member of the mafia. He was connected to many slave trade, illegal immigrants and prostitution rings but not enough evidence to make a case. He was now backing a group called The AHC and was a chair holding member. The group blamed the holidays and card shops for the economic calamite and wanted to get rid of them.

"North wouldn't like this" Holly thought to herself as she looked at a picture of Markowitz's have tea with a dark haired man at a coffee shop. The picture was marked as Markowitz and Mr. Black."That reminds me, I've got to send that letter to him"

North's last letter was unusual to say the least, he had become mates with the Easter bunny. He was truly in love and Holly was really happy for him, and had asked to be introduced as soon as possible. But of course it was also to tell North, that she was being thrown out of her apartment as it was being condemned and not to write back until she sent him a new letter with her new address. Which she till did not have either, as this case had been made important and all thoughts about home hunting had been put on the back burner. Now with only two weeks to go, she was really in trouble, good thing she had lots of holiday backed up. She now had a whole month off, plenty of time to find a new place. There was a knock at her cubicle wall and there stood the chief of police.

"Hey Holly, I wanted to make sure you got the Markowitz's file?"

"Yes sir I did but I've got that holiday booked..."

"That's fine, you can go in deeper when you get back, but while your off see what you can dig up. We're pretty sure this new cult he's set up in being funded by illicit earnings, not to mention wanting to get rid of some of my favourite holidays. I know you Holly, the second that you have your new place sorted you'll be wanting to come back to work. You haven't had hardly any time off, not even with sickness. Usually having to push you out the door. So when you asked for time off even the powers that be had to let you have it, even though it's not really orthodox"

"Ha ha! Chief I'm not that bad. But since I've got it in my hands now, I might as well take it home. Night Chief"

Holly left the station and stopped by a small shop to pick up some food. While packing she slipped the folder in with her eggs and bread, thinking it would be safer in there. she walked down the quite street determined to get back to her flat quickly when from a small side avenue came an almighty crash. Holly frowned in to the darkness, not seeing anyone moving about, but the noise was getting loader as if someone was hurt.

"Is someone down there?" she called out. There was a loud groan followed by something falling over. Holly took a few steps in to the dark ally, looking left and right for anything unusual. Next thing Holly knew she was picked up in to the air by her shirt collar. She twisted to see her attacker only to drop her shopping in shock of seeing a large hairy creature staring back at her. It didn't give her time to scream as it shoved her in to a large red sack and tied her in. She tied kicking and punching but nothing was working. She heard the sound of glass breaking and was thinking the worst when she felt herself being thrown forwards. It took her longer to hit the floor then expected but when she did, damn it did it hurt. She could hear multiple voices now, and some footsteps coming towards her. She was ready to throw her fist when the sack opened only to pause when North looked down at her.

"Hello Holly, nice of you to drop in"

"Jeez North! Do I have to add kidnapping to your breaking and entering charge?" said Holly as North helped her out of the sack. Jack laughed "That's funny, Santa on the naughty list, for kidnapping"

North glared at him as he help Holly gain her balance as she stepped out of the sack. She was a curious person by nature so Holly started to look round the room and felt her jaw drop slightly.

"Am...am I at pole?" she asked looking at the large globe before turning her attention back to the guardians.

"That right. Welcome to my home, I hope the yetis treated you well?"

Holly looked at the large furry creatures that waved at her, the large gray one holding on to her shopping and handbag.

"Um, yeah, they didn't hurt me and thank you for picking up my stuff."

"Then let's get on with introductions, this is Jack Frost" said North as he pushed Holly towards the young guardian.

"So it's really true that you arrested North?" laughed Jack as he shook her hand.

"Yeah, was put on the naughty list for the following year for it too" Holly smiled back, as North stirred her to a smaller man, covered in gold sand. He seemed a little nervous so Holly knelt down so they were eye level to shake his hand.

"Holly this is Sandy, the sandman" said North smiling over how well she was taking everything. He had worried that she would freak out.

"Sandman...oh the dream giver. I'm really happy to met you" said Holly, as Sandy wiped up an image of a smiling sun. "Um..does that mean you like my smile?"

Sandy's cheeks darkened as he nodded, Holly felt her own cheek heat up over how cute the man was as she stood up. Tooth was suddenly in fount of Holly, that she had to take a step back.

"Ah, this is Toothiana, The Tooth fairy. Tooth, I wouldn't if I was you" warned North, remembering Tooth's reaction to Jack's teeth.

"Don't be silly North, I only want to look. I'm pleased to meet you Holly, now open up"

"Open up wha..." Holly was shocked as Tooth pushed her fingers in, forcing back Holly's lips so she could see her teeth.

"Two fillings? one chipped" Tooth muttered sadly but then paused as she pulled away going very pale. "And all the left side are...fake?"

"Huh? Oh yeah. I was investigating a man stealing teeth from his victims when he caught me. Mistook my teeth for nails as he swung the hammer at me, breaking the lot. Thank god for insurance." Holly laughed trying to make light of the situation, as poor Tooth started to look green.

"Easy Tooth, go and have some eggnog" suggested North as Tooth fluttered away.

"I didn't mean to upset her" said Holly looking where the tooth fairy had gone.

"She knows that Holly. Come I must introduce to my most important person" said North gesturing to Bunnymund, who was causally leaning against one of large columns. "This is the Easter Bunny..."

"Bunnymund right?" Holy exclaimed as she hugged the startled rabbit. "North told me all about you in his last letter"

Bunny smiled at the woman, but looking over at North who was blushing. "Did he now? All good I hope"

"You bet it was, I know what I'm going to say might sound sappy but I want to thank you"

"Thank me?"

"Yeah, for making North so happy. He latest letter read like a teenager in love and..."

"Alright enough out of you, otherwise it's another year on the naughty list" said North as he placed his hand over Holly's mouth, making her look up at him. She looked back at Bunnymund and winked, an indication that she would tell the rest later. North released her and she turned, smirking, her eyebrow peeked.

"Well, this is either the most oddest social call I've ever had or you guys need something from me. Though lord only known's what" she laughed at the thought of the guardians needing something from little old her but the looks on their faces told her she was right. "What wrong?"

Sighing and rubbing his neck "Holly...what do you know of the Bogyman?"

"The thing that hides under children beds and scares them? Not much"

"He is not a thing Holly, he is a man, he's like us only bad. And now he seems to have the ability o turn himself human"

"Wait, I thought you defeated Pitch a few years ago after Easter?"

"We did. He has cooked up some kind of plan that involves some human called Joseph, and there maybe others." said Bunnymund.

"I'm really not following, why don't you guys fill me in on everything up to this point" said Holly running her hand threw her hair, in exasperation. One at a time the guardians took turns filling her in about what happened in Halloween town and what Cupid had told them, about what happened at the cafe. Tooth joined them halfway though looking less green.

"Because Pitch has human allies, Man in Moon surmised that we needed one also and chose you"

"And that's why you bought me here, to help you find this Pitch and what he is up too? You might as well ask me to find a needle in a haystack, I would find that quicker" snapped Holly before she took a breath to calm herself down. "Is there anything about the "Pitch" guy that you haven't told me?"

"His full name is Pitch Black and he wants to ruin all the holidays just to destroy us, what's more do you need to know?" asked Jack sarcastically.

"Jack there is no need to be rude" shouted North.

"No wait! Say that again" said Holly who suddenly had a thought, as she ran over to Phil and took out her file.

"What? "His full name is Pitch Black and he wants to ruin all the holidays just to destroy us, what's more do you need to know?" asked Jack as he, and the other guardians gathered round Holly as she pulled out a picture.

"Is that him?" she asked as she showed them the photo she was looking at earlier.

"That's him alright!" said Bunnymund sneering at the photo in disgust.

"Wow I would have thought the necklace would have changed his appearance a bit more, not just give him a different skin tone." said Tooth gazing at the picture. "Holly do you know who Pitch is talking too?"

"Sadly yes. His name is Joseph Markowitz's, a powerful rich man with connections. A really bad slippery guy. We know that he's involved with organised crime, mainly human trafficking, and rigged elections, but we can never gather enough evidence to make it stick. If Pitch is working with Markowitz's, this is going to be tricky"

"If you know they bad, why can't you just arrest them?" asked Jack "I mean it's your job right?"

"Yeah well, my job also states that I need solid evidence to prove that they are bad before bring them in. Same with voicing your opinions and posting it on line. unless there is a crime committed I can't do anything. On a good note at least we've got something to work with."

"What the name of this human? It isn't much" said Bunnymund.

"True, but from what you told me about Pitch and what group Markowitz has just joined and donated too all adds up. The AHC, the anti-holiday committee, a group that wishes to end all the holidays because they claim they have become too expensive and commercialized. In other wards he going to get you though the adults. And since the adults can't see you..."

"There really is nothing we can do" said North.

"And until they slip up...neither can I"

To be continued...
