Chapter 3: Yoruichi to the rescue- NOT

Ichigo had gotten to the front door of the house and set both the puppy and Rukia down on the ground. He moved them out of the way before opening the door and saw his father attempt a sneak attack as per usual. Ichigo ducked under him, grabbed his foot and threw him over to the street, then proceeded to guide the six into his house, closed and locked the door. When he walked into the living room, he was greeted by both his sisters petting them. Karin with the cats and Yuzu with the dogs. They were ecstatic about all of the cute and adorable little guys and gals in this small family and it showed in how they petted each one of them. Ichigo was also enjoying this as he was scratching the black haired dog behind the ear, enticing him to lay his head across Ichigo's lap in the process.

"Man Ichigo." Karin started as she continued to play with the small puppy, Toshiro, much to his delight. "Animals must really like you."

"Heh." Ichigo chuckled out a bit. "Yeah I guess they do."

Ichigo continued to pet the black haired dog, Byakuya, on his ears and head until the three heard a knock at the door. Well, more like banging as their father was asking, actually more like frantically begging, them to open the door and let him in. The pets/soul reapers heard this and were taken back a little at how the man acts around his children.

"Should we let him in?" Yuzu asks as she's still playing with Unohana and Rangiku.

Both Karin and Ichigo looked at her then at each other before continuing with what they were doing before. That was Yuzu's answer.

An hour later

After an hour of playing, Ichigo eventually let his father back into the house where Isshin went into a frenzy at the pets. For the soul reapers, it was a little bit unnerving to see a grown man acting like such a child around them all. The sad part was that both Toshiro, Rangiku and Unohana recognized him as the former squad 10 captain. Sucks that they couldn't speak to him, but Rangiku being Rangiku spent most of her time with the man.

Ichigo had decided that it would be best to get the rest some collars as well as more food from the pet store. He looked around the house as he saw the orange cat, Rangiku, was nestled into his fathers arms. The puppy and Renji were with Karin on the couch watching T.V. Yuzu was spending her time walking with the ebony haired cat, Unohana, and would take her out for a bit. That just left Rukia and the black haired dog with Ichigo, so he just walked them to the pet store by himself. What was really entertaining to him was how Rukia was on top of the dogs back as they walked along the streets to the store.

"Huh, you know what." Ichigo spoke up as he started to pet Byakuya again, receiving a content rub into his hand for it. "I guess I'll just name you Byakuya since you're so close with Rukia right now."

"Not as astute as I thought he was." Byakuya spoke to Rukia in a small bark.

"Though he has gotten our names down for one thing." Rukia answered her brother.

"Alright then." Ichigo started once again as they continued to walk along. As they continued on to the store, it was actually Byakuya that spotted a certain familiar, black cat just laying on top of a roof in a relaxed position.

"Yoruichi!" Byakuya barked out loudly.

Yoruichi raised her head and looked around for the familiar voice, completely unaware that the man and most of the soul society was changed into animals.

Rukia looked up to where her brother was calling out and saw the all too familiar sight of Yoruichi's black cat form looking around for him.

"Yoruichi, down here!" She yelled, meowed, out.

This caught Ichigo's attention this time as he looked to the two and then to where they were barking and meowing to. To his not so surprise, he saw Yoruichi in her cat form looking down at them with wide eyes for some weird reason. He waved to her with a smile on his face as he called out to her.

"Hey Yoruichi!"

She looked over at him and had a pretty interesting idea spring to her mind. A devious idea that made her grin as she leapt down to them.

"Why hello there Ichigo." She spoke in her male voice when she landed in front of them. She looked over to both Rukia and Byakuya and her smile widen unbeknown to Ichigo. "And who exactly are these two if you don't mind me asking Ichigo?"

"Well, these two are strays that I took in." He explained to her. He pointed to the cat. "This one is Rukia because of her fur and I just named this guy Byakuya just because he's been around Rukia since I got him."

"Oh?" Yoruichi spoke out as she continued to look at the two furry soul reapers.

"Yoruichi. I know you can understand me." Byakuya barked out to her. "Tell Ichigo that it's really us and to take us all back to the soul society."

"That would be nice of you right now." Rukia spoke out.

Ichigo looked at both his pets then to Yoruichi who he now noticed had a grin on her face. "What did they say?"

Yoruichi looked up to him and gave a him a normal smirk. "Oh, just saying hi to me in their own ways." Yoruichi turned back to the shocked brother/sister duo and gave another Cheshire grin.

Both Rukia and especially Byakuya were fuming at this. Before either of them could retaliate or even voice their displeasure to the former Shihoin princess, Ichigo started to pet the both of them. Just like that, they were both relaxed under his touch. Yoruichi saw this and had to try very hard not to laugh. The very thought of seeing Ichigo doing this to both Kuchiki's was simply too much for her to bear. Before she would burst out laughing, she turned to Ichigo and said in as a composed of a voice she could muster.

"Well then Ichigo, I think I should go now." She spoke to him in a strained tone. "You have fun with them." And that was when she leapt back up to a building a ran off, laughing her ass off in the process.

"Huh." Ichigo said to himself as he continued to pet both Rukia and Byakuya. He looked in the direction that he saw Yoruichi leave in, and he could've sworn he heard her laughing for some weird reason. "Wonder what's got her in a laughing fit?"

Okay.
