Rain pelted the window as Ichigo gazed out it. A week has passed already and the cat was sad. He hadn't seen any sign of Gin and it worried him. 'What if he was hurt or got caught.' thought Ichigo. He hid his face in his paws, so many things could of happened to him and he was stuck here.
He looked across the kitchen floor and saw the food and water dish. The water dish was full of bottled water while his food dish was topped with pellets. The pellets he was being fed now tasted like fish and he was shocked to realize he liked it. Sometimes Machia would even give him slop that tasted like chicken or fish. Ichigo scowled at the wall.
He was acting like a cat already. He licked his mouth and got up. He wasn't hungry, he wanted a drink. He got out of the cat bed and as he did, a jingle sounded. He lapped up the water to sooth his dry tongue.
After that, he gazed into the water. He got his reflection and saw the collar around his neck. It was bright blue with a yellow jingle ball attached. Machia decided to keep him as a pet and had bought a collar for him. He glared at it, this showed ownership and he would be damned if he became a pet.
But hasn't he already? He ate the food that the man gave him and sat on his lap to be petted, plus he also played with the toys he was given. Ichigo shook his head. 'No, I'm still human, and if I am to be with anyone, it's my mate.' thought Ichigo. Footsteps came and Machia entered the kitchen.
"Morning Comet, sleep well?" asked Machia. 'Comet' was apparently Ichigo's new name. Ichigo got out of his way as the man went to the cabinet. "How about some 'seafood pete' for breakfast?" asked Machia. Ichigo scowled and tried to ignore him but when he heard the can open, he was lost to feline instints.
Next thing he knew, he was licking up the slop. 'Damn cat instints.' thought Ichigo. Machia laughed a bit and started stroking the cat's back. "Your such a good boy, Comet." said Machia. He got up and left the cat to finish his meal.
After it was gone, Ichigo licked his chomps and took a drink. 'I better get out of here soon, other wise I'm going to get fat and lazy.' thought Ichigo. He left the kitchen to see Machia watching T.V. Ichigo sighed and hopped onto the window. The rain was heavier now and he frowned.
Gin was out in this weather, was he okay? The more he thought of Gin, the more worried he got. 'Gin, where are you, I wanna leave here.' thought Ichigo. Machia laughed at the T.V. and the cat sighed. He couldn't become a pet, he belonged with his mate and family.
'Please find me, Gin.' thought Ichigo.

A man in a heavy brown coat and brown hat cursed as he nearly got hit with a wave of water. He lifted his hat up a bit to show it was Gin. He shivered but continued on. For the week, he's been searching non-stop for his mate. He remembered the car and the liscene plate, even the man, but he saw no hair of ether thing.
He didn't care, he had to find Ichigo, who knows what'll happen. 'What if that bastard tries ta turn poor Ichi into a pet?!' thought Gin. He shook, if that happned then Ichigo would never be the same again! 'Don't worry Ichigo, I'll find ya.' thought Gin. He turned down a street and looked around.
There were a few people out and some buildings, but no sign of the man or the car. He looked up to curse but froze. Sitting in one of the windows of a building was an orange cat! Could it be? Gin saw the cat look at him and he lifted his hat a bit to show his face.
The cat got up and started pawing at the window. This made the man smile happily, it was Ichigo! Just then, a man went to the window and Gin saw it was the man who had hit his mate. He picked Ichigo up and closed the curtains. He growled slightly, that bastard was holding his mate hostage, trapped in the horrible, boring life of a pet!
He paused, well, minus himself, he was happy being a pet to the Kurosaki's. They let him watch T.V., go outside whenever HE wanted, and he got to mate with the teen. Other pets though were ether fat and lazy, fat and playful, or just plain lazy. Ether way, it wasn't a fun life, minus life with the Kurosaki's. He ran across the street and got under some shelter.
He had found Ichigo, great, but now, how was he to get Ichigo out? Gin thought hard, if only he could get in and switch Ichigo with another normal cat. 'Where can I find a cat that looks like Ichi?' thought Gin. He heard a noise and looked down the alley to see a orange cat with green eyes that was even fluffier than Ichigo. Gin examined him and shrugged.
It was a close enough match. He then slowly approached the cat and lunged. The alley was soon full of the screeching of the cat.

Ichigo couldn't believe it, Gin had found him! He was now on Machia's lap as he watched a show called, 'stupid daredevils'. He sighed, still, how was Gin going to get him out of here? 'I hope he has a plan.' thought Ichigo. Machia laughed and then got up and put Ichigo on the chair.
"I need to get some more ice in my drink, be back soon, Comet." said Machia. He hummed as he entered the kitchen. Ichigo's ears went down as he gazed at the T.V. "Dammit, I'm out of ice!" cursed Machia. The cat then saw the kitchen light go out.
"Better call for a lightbulb." said Machia. He went to the phone and hit three buttons. He then talked into the phone and hung up. "I'll have to run to the second floor to get more ice." said Machia. Ichigo watched him and then there was a knock at the door.
Machia opened it to a man in the building mainance uniform with a large black bag. "Ya called?" asked the man with a bolchy accent. "Ya, I need my lightbulb replaced, I'll be back." said Machia. He left and shut the door. Ichigo sniffed the air, the man smelled like Gin!
The man then removed the hat to show silver fox ears and Gin's face. "Ichigo, is tha ya?" asked Gin in his normal voice. Ichigo ran from the chair and nuzzled Gin's legs. "Hell yes it's me, about time." said Ichigo. Gin went down and started hugging Ichigo tight.
"Sorry, ya were harder ta find." said Gin. Ichigo only licked his cheek and Gin fingered his collar. "Why do ya have this piece of shit 'round ya neck?" asked Gin. "Machia put it on, he wants to keep me." said Ichigo. "Hell no, ya mine." said Gin.
"Ya, but, he'll notice if I'm gone." said Ichigo. "Ah, but I have a plan." chuckled Gin. Ichigo blinked as Gin opened his bag and another orange cat came out, panting. "Wh-what the hell, I couldn't breath!" yelled the cat. "Sorry, now, we need ya ta pretend ta be this kitty and live here." said Gin.
The cat looked at Ichigo and sniffed. "So, I get to be fed and be sheltered...okay, what name did he give you?" asked the cat. "It's Comet." sighed Ichigo. "Comet...alright, I'll take it." said 'Comet'. Gin smiled and removed the collar from Ichigo's neck and put it around Comet's neck.
"Alright, Ichi, get in tha bag." said Gin. The cat hopped in and looked ta Comet to freeze. The cat had green eyes, Machia knew he had amber. 'Oh shit, what if this doesn't work?' thought Ichigo.
A/N: How true, will it work since both kitties have different eye colors? Let's hope it does. Stay tuned and plz review.
