I DO NOT OWN BLEACH OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS. CHARACTERS MAY BE OOC

THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS AND TO THE PEOPLE WHO SAID THEY HOPE MY MOM WILL BE ALRIGHT.

If anyone likes Hichigo fics I have one called Horse No More, Its about Hichigo getting a body of his own and when Rukia said that Hichigo would never belong to Ichigo he takes it as a challenge and decides to make Hichigo fit in, but the thing is he has to catch him first, because Hichigo thinks Ichigo wants to kill him and is running from him and causing all sorts of mischief.

Kitty did not want Jushiro to find her, so she was at the one place he would not think to look.. She was at the zoo. Before Jushiro had adopted her, she had been given a tour of the city by Ururu and Jinta. So she knew where everything was. He would not in a million years think to look in the lion pen. Animals were more spiritually aware than humans, so the lions were huddled on the opposite side of the pen away from her.

She was glad that she didn't have her Gigia, or else it would be hard to explain to the Zoo keepers why she was in a Lion's pen, she looked out the pen to the people who were wondering why the lions were scared stiff and huddled to the edge of a pen.

It was cold out and she was only dressed in hakama's and a thin shirt. She didn't count on staying in a Lion pen when she came to the human world, so she didn't dress warm. It didn't help that it was slightly raining and by the look of it the dark clouds were not going to go away any time soon. She shifted making the Lion's jump, she wished they weren't so scared of her. She moved a strand of damp hair out of her face and hoped she didn't get sick again.

Jushiro

When Jushiro got to Ichigo's house he was surprised to learn that Kitty wasn't there. He asked Ichigo,"You haven't seen her at all?"

Rukia was sitting in Ichigo's computer chair and she shook her head as she said,"No, What did you do to make her run off though?"

Jushiro shifted nervously as he explained what he had said to and how Kitty misunderstood him.

Rukia shook her head again and said,"You should watch what you say around children. I have the same problem with Ichigo. I say something and he thinks of something different."

Ichigo scowled at her, but then Jushiro thought,'Just when isn't that boy scowling? Sure people has bad things happen in there lives, but his was small compared to some and he acts as if he has a right to be like that. Well at least his loyalty is not questionable.'

Jushiro looked towards the window and sighed,"I hope a Hollow doesn't attack her, I don't think she can defend herself."

Rukia got up from the chair while she said,"I will help you look for her, I doubt Ichigo would, he is not a very considerate person."

Ichigo's scowl deepened as he said,"I will help look for her also."

Jushiro sighed,"You don't have to..."

But Ichigo and Rukia were already gone.

With Ichigo and Rukia

Ichigo gave a sigh of frustration,"Where can one cat eared little girl go?"

Rukia rolled her eyes and said,"She can be anywhere, but she is most likely somewhere that Captain Ukitake wouldn't think to look."

He looked over to the raven haired girl and asked,"And where would that be?"

Rukia shrugged as she looked around,"I don't know. Lets try everywhere."

Ichigo wanted to hit his head on the nearest telephone pole, he did volunteer to help look but thats because he didn't want to look like an uncaring jerk.

Orihime

She didn't know why she decided to pay a visit to the Zoo but here she was standing in front of the Zebra pens watching as the striped animals ran around oblivious to the freedom that they were denied.

She liked visiting the lion pens, their unruly orange manes reminded her of Ichigo's hair and their roar that sends fear down anyone's spine reminds her of his battle cry. She wasn't a fool, she knew he liked Rukia, but what he didn't know couldn't hurt him or their friendship.

Orihime walked down the path towards the lion pen and hoped that they were out and about. Ichigo was in her opinion exactly like a lion, strong, brave, fierce, and protective of his friends and family. Just like a Lion is towards his pride.

She walked towards the pen, but noticed that the proud creatures were huddled to one side scared stiff, she wondered why until she saw Kitty huddled to the other side as well, her eyes red from crying. Orihime was glad no one was around as she shouted,"Kitty! Why are you done there?"

Kitty looked up towards Orihime before climbing over the top of the pen and running towards her, she hugged Orihime and cried into her shirt," Daddy Ukitake doesn't love me anymore! He thinks I am a burden!"

Orihime pet Kitty's head and noticed some of Kitty's ear was missing. She said in a soothing voice," Its okay, He doesn't think that. Lets go back to my place. I need to take a look at your ear and its much better than sitting in a lion pen. The po or things are scared to death."

Kitty nodded but would not let go of Orihime as she whispered," Okay, It's getting cold out here anyway."

She let Orihime led her to her house, she still hoped Jushiro wouldn't figure out where she was because she just wasn't ready to see him yet.

With Jushiro

Jushiro was sitting in Urahara's shop he wished he had said something different, because if he had Kitty wouldn't be gone, it had grown dark out an hour ago and he was forced to quit looking for Kitty. Mainly because Urahara said Kitty could look after herself and was smarter than any hollow and that if he didn't take a break from searching he was going to have Tessei put a binding spell on him. He could easily break out of a binding spell, if he wasn't in a Gigia and if the majority of his power wasn't sealed in the human world. Jushiro didn't touch the food and tea Jinta brought him, he was to worried to eat, so instead he walked to the room he was given and looked out the window, watching the rain beat down against the pavement and hoping that Kitty was safe and out of the rain.
