"Die shinigami! Die die die die die!" Cried a hollow that looked like a scorpion before Ichigo cut off it's stinger.

"Yeah yeah, I heard you the first time." He sighed as the hollow cried out before Ichigo jumped up and swung his blade down, cutting it down the center. "Just die already and release the souls you've eaten."

"NO! No no no, I won't die quietly, if I'm going down you're coming with me!" He let out before lashing it's pincers at Ichigo from both sides. Before they could make contact Though an orange barrier appeared between them and Ichigo. "Huh?"

"Kurosaki-kun! Are you ok?" Called a voice as said substitute shinigami looked behind him to see Orihime.

"Orihime?" He spoke in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"I-I was walking home from the market when I saw you a-and I thought I could help Kurosaki-kun?" She spoke up nervous before the hollow let out a roar and tried to smash through the shield.

"Thanks, but I got this Orihime, I can take care of this small fry easily."

"Small fry?! At least pay attention when saying that!" Yelled the hollow before the barrier went away as Ichigo lunged and stabbed Zangetsu into the forehead. "Ahhhh!"

"Sorry, but you're not strong enough for me to pay attention to." He said as the hollow began to dissipate as it died. He sighed and put Zangetsu away as Orihime ran over. "Thanks for the save Orihime, you saved me some injuries."

"N-No problem Kurosaki-kun…" She said with a blush. "I-It was my pleasure…"

"Well well well, just the two I've been looking for~" Called a females voice, surprising them.

They turned and blinked seeing Yoruichi standing on top of a nearby lamp post before jumping off and landing gracefully. "How are you two love birds doing? Having fun on your little date?"

"W-We're not on a date!" Stuttered Orihime with a blush while the former captain smiled.

"Well then that means you two have some free time, right?"

"Um, actuall-"

"Great, come on, let's go Strawberry, you too Orihime." She cut him off before turning and started walking.

"Why do I even bother answering, she won't listen." He muttered with a frown.

The two of them followed Yoruichi to Kisuke's shop where said owner was already waiting there for them.

"Ok Hat n Clogs, what's this about, is this an emergency or you just being annoying?"

"Why Ichigo, I'm glad you asked. You see, the reason I had Yoruichi bring you to is of the utmost importance." He spoke in a serious tone.

"What is it, hollow attack? Soul Society under threat, the arrancars are back? What is it?" He asked, his face turning serious.

"I need you two…"

"What, what do you need us to do Kisuke?" He asked, looking at him expectantly as he and Orihime leaned towards him in anticipation.

"To…."

"Y-Yes, what is it, no matter what it is we'll try to do it as best we can!"

"Drink these." He suddenly smiled holding up two small vials.

"...Huh? What are these?" Ichigo asked in confusion.

"No time for questions, just drink!" He spoke putting one in both their hands.

"I-Is this really neces-"

"YES! Now drink, hurry, both at the same time, let's go go go!"

"Not until you explain!" Spoke Ichigo.

"No, there's no time, don't you trust me?"

"No." He replied bluntly with a straight face.

"K-Kurosaki-kun, I think we should drink it…. Kisuke-san wouldn't try to hurt us, right?" Asked Orihime opening her vial.

"Orihime wait! We don't know what these are, and this is hat n clogs we're talking about, he'd do something weird to make us into guinea pigs in our sleep."

"Oh please, I wouldn't do that now, would I?" He asked with a chuckle.

"Yes, you would, and I don't think we should drink it."

"Then I guess I have no choice. Yoruichi? If you would please."

"Right." She said as she flash stepped in front of Ichigo, grabbed his vial and quickly dumped the contents down his throat before he knew what had hit him, then did the same to Orihime.

"Ack! What the hell was that Kisuke?!" Yelled Ichigo lunging over and grabbed the man by the front of his clothes. "What the hell was in those?!"

"Well I'm not sure exactly, I wanted to mix it up so I switched the vials around so I don't know who got what, but the effects should start taking effect any second now." he answered vaguely as Ichigo shook him.

"Be clear you bastard!"

"Now Ichigo, where is the fun in that?" He chuckled as Orihime looked at the vial nervously.

"K-Kisuke-san, what is going to happen to us?"

"Not to worry Orihime, like I said the effects should happen any-" He saw Orihime drop the vial as she started shaking. "Second."

"I-I feel very strange, w-what is going to happen to me?" She cried as her body began to tingle.

"Just keep breathing and don't panic." Spoke Yoruichi before Ichigo started feeling his own body tingling.

"Yes, the effects shouldn't be harmful at all… or at least they shouldn't if my theories are right." Remarked Kisuke as Ichigo growled before groaning and gripped his arms.

"You bastard! I-I'm gonna kill you!"

"Hmmm, will you? My my, that's quite small temper you have, and it seems the rest of you is starting to match." He chuckled as Ichigo noticed that his hands seemed smaller than normal.

"Hey! What the hell?!" He cried out before he started to see that everything around started to look bigger.

"K-Kurosaki-kun, m-my ears, t-they feel weird!" Orihime cried as her ears began to move upwards, changing into a bright orange pair of cat ears.

"Kisuke!" Yelled Ichigo running at the man, while noticing the distance increasing and the man getting bigger.

"Oh calm down Ichigo, you're fine...well, I think you will be, I just needed two guinea pigs." He smiled looking down as Ichigo got smaller and smaller. "If I'm right you should have another change hitting you soon, along with your girlfriend as well."

"She's not my girlfriend!" He yelled out before he started to feel something come out from his tailbone and turned before going wide eyed seeing a mouse tail. "What the hell?!"

"K-Kurosaki-kun?" Orihime asked in confusion before she felt something growing to and looked behind to see a long orange cat tail. "W-What is happening to us?!"

"Relax, it's almost over." Spoke Yoruichi.

"W-What is going on?!" Cried Ichigo as he felt his head tingle before a pair of mouse ears popped out of his head.

"Hmm, seems the transformation part is over and done with. How do you two feel?"

"I...I feel weird." Groaned Orihime as she closed her eyes only to reopen them to show a pair of slitted cat eyes.

"What the hell's wrong with you two?!" Yelled Ichigo at them. "What did you have us drink?!"

"Oh, it was just a formula or two I made to see if I could create a booster for shinigami on the battlefield, giving them the powers of animals, thus heightening their senses and so on, blah blah blah. I wanted to start with two relatively harmless animals before going to more dangerous ones, it seems there were some side effects though."

"We're not your damn test animals!" Yelled Ichigo running over and tried climbing up Kisuke's robe to throttle him while Yoruichi chuckled.

"Y'know, I was kind of hoping Ichigo would get the cat one, it had some of my DNA and power in it to give it an extra punch, but it seems his girlfriend got it, how do you feel Orihime?"

"I feel...good." She replied while flexing her hands and looked around with her ears twitching. "Everything seems different somehow."

"Well I'd say everything is, you should have a mild power boost, and hey, you might have even gotten some of my speed." She chuckled with a smile.

Ichigo groaned as he reached Kisuke's sleeve and started crawling up it. "I'm gonna kick your ass you asshole!"

"Oh no, the mouse boy is threatening me, whatever will I do?" He mocked with a grin.

Orihime looked at her hand and licked the back of it for some reason as Ichigo reached Kisuke's collar while panting.

"You're dead!" He yelled before jumping up and tried punching at the man's cheek.

"Ow, oh that hurt so much, oh the pain!" He cried out with a laugh. "I guess the mouse version of the strength elixir is a bust, huh?"

"On the upside, I think it helped make Ichigo more tolerable." Joked Yoruichi as the short substitute shinigami kept trying to hit Kisuke's cheek before Orihime looked at him. As she did her pupils narrowed as she licked her lips.

'I don't know if it's the change or his tiny ears, but Kurosaki-kun looks great right now, I want him~' She thought with her tail swishing before Kisuke picked Ichigo up and held him by the back of his robes.

"Now now Ichigo, you should be happy. Now if you ever need to sneak into someplace, like oh say, the girl's locker room, this is your chance to live every man's dream." He smiled with Ichigo getting a tick mark.

"Like hell I would ever do that you perv!"

"Hey Kisuke-san, do you mind if I take Kurosaki-kun off your hands?"

"Sure thing Orihime." He replied holding the boy out who turned and tensed up since he saw Orihime smiling with an odd glint in her eyes which gave him the creeps.

"Um...Orihime, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Like what?" She asked reaching out and licked her lips, making Ichigo pale with something in his head telling him he was in danger. "Now come here little mousy, kitty wants to play~"

"S-Sorry, gotta go!" He cried forcing himself from Kisuke's fingers and narrowly avoided her hand while landing on the ground as Orihime turned with a glint that made him start sweating. 'Why do I feel like I'm looking death in the eye?!'

"Now now Kurosaki-kun, it's not nice to run from a lady like that~" She said as she let out what sounded like a purr.

"Hat n clogs, what's going on?!" Asked Ichigo shivering as Orihime started walking towards him, with the size difference making the ground shake slightly.

"Well, my best guess would be that the animal hormones and DNA along with Yoruichi's power changed her mind a bit, also mixed with some repressed feelings for you she may be going a tad bit crazy?" He guessed tapping his chin making Ichigo look at him with wide eyes before seeing Orihime reach for him again.

"I have to get home, see you Hat n clogs!" He cried before he began to run away as fast as he could, though his reduced height made him slower than usual.

"Wait Kurosaki-kun!" Spoke Orihime who got on all fours without realizing and lunged at him, leading to her landing while wrapping her arms around him, stopping him abruptly. "You can't go yet."

"Why not?" He asked, feeling nervous.

"Well for one we can't just let a mouse boy go running around town, now can we, especially not one as small as you." Chuckled Yoruichi.

He felt irked and glared at her. "Then give us the antidote!"

"Antidote? What antidote?" Asked Kisuke with his fan out. "I don't remember ever saying there was one, especially since I didn't make one."

"WHAT?!" He cried out in disbelief. "Y-Y-You mean...we're stuck like this?!"

"For awhile at least, I did make the elixir to be temporary, though with your new….features, I'm not sure it is anymore."

Ichigo let out a yell of frustration before feeling Orihime nuzzling against him while she kept purring making him blink and feel nervous. "Uh...Orihime? What are you doing?"

"Nuzzling against you little mouse, don't worry and just relax, I swear you're so cute I could just eat. You. Up~" She whispered, making Ichigo panic with the thing inside him REALLY telling him to run.

'I need to get away from here now!' He thought before he tried to squirm from her arms.

"Hey, hold still Kurosaki-kun, stop moving around or I'll lose my gri- hey!" She cried before he got loose and bolted off. "Hey, get back here!" She cried as she dashed after him.

"Oh my, it seems a game of cat and mouse has started, huh Yoruichi?"

"It seems so, and damn is it gonna be good." She chuckled.

"Wanna chase them with cameras so we can tease them later?"

"You read my mind." She chuckled as we cut to Ichigo running as fast as he could.

'Oh god, is this actually happening?!' He thought while hearing Orihime chasing him, still going on all fours. "L-Leave me alone Orihime!"

"No can do, this kitty is gonna get what she wants~" She called while trying to snatch at him with her hands, but he kept jumping to the side to avoid them. "Come on Kurosaki-kun, are you really scared of little old me~?"

'Little is NOT for her!' He thought before turning down a road as she skidded to stop and ran, but faster. "Orihime snap out of it! You're not yourself!"

"Oh I know, I feel better than ever, and for once I can finally say a whole sentence without stammering!" She called while letting out a laugh. "I feel like I could chase you all day Kurosaki-kun~!"

'Crap crap crap, I can't outrun her at this rate, it might be time to take advantage of my size, huh?' He thought as he spotted a hole in a nearby wall. He started to rush at it and really ran as Orihime reached out, only for her to crash into the wall as he got inside with him wincing. 'Sorry Orihime, but I have to think about my safety.'

"Augh, that hurt, that was mean Kurosaki-kun!" Hissed Orihime looking into the hole and tried reaching her hand inside making Ichigo back up deeper. "Come on out of there, I only wanna play~"

'Like hell I'm going out there now! Augh, I better figure out where the hell I am and whose house I just crawled into.' He thought as he barely managed to dodge her hand. He turned and walked deeper through the hole while he swore he could hear a loud hiss behind him. 'That doesn't sound good, I hope Orihime doesn't get too frustrated.'

"Kurosaki-kun, you get right out here right now!" She yelled with her eyes still slitted. "Don't make me come in there after you!"

'How could she, she's too large to fit in the hole.' He thought with a sweatdrop. He kept going and spotted an exit and moved over faster before poking his head out and looked around. "Wait, is this my house? God damn it old man, we probably have a rat problem now."

He walked out and looked around while sighing. "Well at least I'm some place I know."

"And a place I have a key too~" Called Orihime from the other side of the hole, making him freeze. "I'll be in there in a second, just stay there~"

'Shit!' He thought before he bolted in a random direction. 'I don't know why I keep running, I mean it's Orihime, but something keeps warning me to stay far away!'

Orihime hummed happily as she pulled her key out of her pocket, entering the house with a grin. "Ready or not Kurosaki-kun, here I come~"

Ichigo himself ran to the kitchen where he saw Yuzu making something and darted under a nearby cabinet. 'Damn it, I shouldn't let her see me either, I don't want anyone to see me like this!'

"Oh Kurosaki-kun, come out come out wherever you are~" Called Orihime making Yuzu turn and smile.

"Hi Orihime, are you looking for Ichi-nii?" She asked before seeing the ears and tail and blinked. "Are those cat ears and tail?"

"Yes, it's a long story, but right now I'm trying to find my Kurosaki-kun, he's hiding at the moment." She said with a smile.

"Well have you tried his room? That's the last place I saw him before coming down here to work on dinner."

"Good call, just make sure to keep an eye out for him, he's a bit shorter than usual."

Yuzu was confused and watched Orihime walk up the stairs with the tail moving and shrugged. 'She must be wanting to be a cosplayer, very realistic tail.'

'Damn it, now I can't hide in my room!' Thought Ichigo who moved out from under the cupboard a little with a sigh. 'As long as I can stay hidden, this should wear off in no time fast.'

Yuzu moved to get a carrot, but looked down and gasped before letting out a cry. "Ahhh! Mouse!"

Ichigo turned and saw Yuzu spot him and paled when he heard Orihime running back down the stairs.

"Don't worry, I'll get him and gobble him right up~!" Called the girl reaching the bottom and ran around the counter to see Ichigo already running before she gave chase. "I got you now Kurosaki-kun~!"

"Nooo!" He cried as Yuzu's eyes widened in shock.

"What?" She spoke as she saw Orihime chase the 'mouse' under the dining table and through the living room. "Orihime, what's going on, why is Ichi-nii so small?!"

"Because he's my prey~" She called back while seeing Ichigo crawl under the couch and try lifting it up to get to him.

"I WON'T LET YOU EAT ME!" He cried out just as Karin entered the house using the front door with her soccer ball under her arm.

"Hey, I'm back… why is Orihime cosplaying as a cat girl?"

"S-She said she wants to gobble up Ichi-nii!"

"...wow, about time." Muttered the girl, taking it the wrong way. "Honestly I thought the two weren't gonna get together until-"

"She means literally!" Cried Ichigo as he ran towards his younger sister, making her freeze.

"I-Ichigo?" She gawked seeing him run past her legs. "What the-"

"Come back here Kurosaki-kun, I want you~" Purred Orihime before she smacked headfirst into Karin. "Ow! Oh, sorry, didn't see you there."

"Orihime? What the hell is going on?! Why is Ichigo a...a...mouse?!"

"Hat n clogs screwed us over, now she's crazy!" Cried out Ichigo before Orihime reached up and grabbed him by the leg and yanked him out.

"Got you~" She sang with a smile as he cried out in panic.

"...Is this real or did I have a stroke?" Asked Karin shaking her head before Yuzu ran over to look at Ichigo closely and babbled out something incoherent before falling on the couch and fainted.

"Ah, Yuzu! Are you ok?! Karin, go make sure she's ok!" He called only for his other sibling to stare at him, only to faint as well. "Karin!"

"Oh my, it seems like you were to much for them to handle, at least we have some privacy now Kurosaki-kun~" Purred Orihime with her tail swishing as she held him to her face while he paled and gulped. "Time to play~"

"N-No, don't eat me, I don't want to die, not like this!" He cried out, only to find himself moved down and hugged against her chest, catching him off guard and start turning red while Orihime moved to sit down on a chair.

"Eat you? Oh I'm not gonna do that Kurosaki-kun, at least not in the way you think~" She chuckled as she patted his head with a hum.

His jaw dropped hearing that while popping a nosebleed from the position which he noted was VERY soft, and could definitely feel the Yoruichi part of her right now. 'K-keep it together Ichigo, you can handle this, this is just Orihime, stop getting so flustered!'

Orihime nuzzled the top of his head and sighed. "I always wanted to be this close with you Kurosaki-kun, but every time I try I get all tongue tied, but now? I feel like I can tell you it all."

"W-What? What are you talking about?" He asked in confusion.

"Silly Kurosaki-kun, I thought you knew, I like you~"

"W-What?!" He stared at her as she held him up like a toy.

"Yup, I've liked you for a long long time, why do you think I always stuttered? I was too shy to come out and say it, but now? I can say it as much as I want without feeling like an airhead." She chuckled as she swayed him around happily. "It feels great, I kind of hope we never change back!"

"H-Hey, you aren't tiny, I want to get back to normal!" He cried out before seeing her grin with a glint in her eyes.

"But then I can't do this, pucker up~"

"W-Wait, what do you me-mmmph!" He was cut off finding Orihime's lips covering his own, and most of his face, causing his whole body to turn bright red.

'Mmmmm, Strawberry~' She purred with a smile. 'I finally kissed him!'

'She's kissing me! Holy shit! She's KISSING ME!' He thought as his brain began to fry as he tried to comprehend what was happening right as Orihime ended the kiss with a smile.

"Ah, I feel like I'm in heaven~!" She gushed before hugging him right in between her chest making him flail his arms around. "Oh I'm never gonna let you go Kurosaki-kun, never ever~"

"O-Orihime, you're acting crazy, s-snap out of it!"

"What's so crazy about kissing the one I like?" She pouted.

"B-But it's to sudden, you're acting like Yoruichi!"

"Hey, I'll have you know I'm nothing like her. For instance, has SHE ever done something this good for you without teasing?"

"W-Well, she did get naked when I was trying to take a bath, b-but nothing like this." 'Why am I stuttering so much and feeling nervous, get ahold of yourself Ichigo!'

"Ooh! Maybe we can take a bath together, I'll bet you'd love to feel and see me without any clothes on~" She cooed as he blushed even harder. "I'll have to keep you very close to make sure I don't lose you in the bath~"

"N-No! We can't Orihime!" He blushed as she stood up and started walking. "Y-You're not in the right mind! What are you gonna do if you snap out of it!?"

"Oh trust me, I'm more than fine Kurosaki-kun, now come, we have a bath to get to~" She purred as she carried him to the bathroom with him squirming in her hold.

"N-No, stop it! I don't need a bath, a-and we can't bathe together!" He cried as he kept struggling.

"Well obviously, we can't do that with clothes on." She smirked before moving a hand towards his pants with a big grin. "Let's get rid of these pesky pants~"

"W-What?! Now you've really lost it Orihime!" He cried as his face turned as red as Renji's hair. 'I gotta get away!' He thought before they heard the front door slam open.

"Oi, Ichigo, I'm ho- why are Yuzu and Karin passed out?!"

'Goat chin? Yes, he can help me!' He thought before he began to call out for him. "Old man, up here, help!"

"Hey, I'm only gonna bathe with you Kurosaki-kun." Pouted Orihime.

"Help, there's a crazy woman who has me captive!"

"Hey, that's not nice either, I am not crazy!"

"Ichigo? Ichigo!" Called Isshin running to the bathroom.

"Sorry, but he's busy, me and him are gonna take a bath together~" Purred Orihime as she quickly locked the door.

"Uh?" He responded right as he grabbed the knob. "Wait...is that Orihime?"

"No, well, yes, it's complicated, just help me!"

"Orihime's in there with you Ichigo….congrats!" He beamed with a thumbs up. "It's about time you finally found me a new daughter! A little warning next time, but with a girl like Orihime you chose well son!"

"WHAT?! Old man you get me out of here right now or I swear I'll...I'll… never give you any grandkids!" threatened Ichigo as Orihime smiled.

"Ooh Kurosaki-kun, I had no idea you were even thinking of kids~"

"Augh, someone just kill me already!" He groaned as he held his head.

"I'll leave you two alone, Karin and Yuzu will be so happy when they wake up!"

"Dad! You get in here and save me this instant!" Yelled Ichigo as Orihime started to pull his shirt off. "Orihime, stop stripping me, I am not getting in that bath!"

"No need to be shy, I'll clean you ALL over~" She purred as she licked her lips.

'This isn't happening, it can't be!'

(Later)

"Come on Kurosaki-kun, stop pouting and talk to me!"

Ichigo kept quiet without turning to her.

"Come on, this isn't so bad, you're nice and clean now, right?"

He was still silent while more embarrassed than upset. 'We actually took a bath together...and I felt her bare breasts...it's a miracle she didn't see...that.'

"Come oooon, talk to me." She groaned as he kept quiet. "Didn't you like it?"

"No, I protested multiple times." He said with a frown. 'I wonder if I could make it to the door before she gets me?'

"I just wanted us to have fun." She pouted with her ears drooping. "I thought it would be a nice exercise to get closer."

"I didn't want to though, that stuff only works when both people want to do it."

"Sorry." She muttered poking her fingers together.

"It's fine." He muttered before eyeing his bed. 'If I can get under there then she can't follow and I might be able to wait this out until she relaxes a bit more.'

'Damn it! I got ahead of myself! I should have controlled myself, but...seeing his small naked body was too much!' She thought with a massive blush. 'He was just so cute and helpless, I couldn't help but take the opportunity, does that make me a bad person?'

'Ok, she seems distracted, which means I gotta go now!' He thought before he jumped up and began to run.

"Kurosaki-kun...are you mad at m- hey, where are you going?!" Orihime cried as she snapped out of her thoughts.

"Safety!" He cried before diving under the bed. "Ha, just try to get me now!"

"Ah! You sneaky little Kurosaki-kun! You were trying to trick me!" She chuckled as she laid down next to the bed and looked under to see him pressed up against the wall, as far away from her as possible. "But now you want to play? Sounds fun~"

"No, I just want to wait until you calm down and get back to normal!"

"Oh Kurosaki-kun, I am normal, and don't you remember what Kisuke-san said, we might never change back, remember?"

"Which I call bull on! He knows what I'd do if this is permanent."

"What, give him a very soft punch~?" She teased as she reached her hand out to grab him.

"I mean kick his ass." He deadpanned before dodging her hand.

"Oh come on Kurosaki-kun, this change isn't too bad, I mean now we're spending more time together than ever, that's a plus in my book~" She purred as she tried again.

"We spend plenty of time at school." He spoke up while moving over near the corner.

"No, we spend time in class and about two minutes of me trying to stammer through a hello, I hate it and it doesn't count!" She hissed while trying to squeeze under the bed. "Despite how odd these changes have been I never want them to end, I like being like this, I like being able to tell you how I feel, I don't want to go back to the shy little girl you were friends with!"

Ichigo gulped seeing the hand get closer and closer. 'Does...does she really mean what she's saying? Well… either way I still need some time to come to terms to this, so I can't get caught again!'

"Just get a little closer and I'll show you all the love I have~" She purred as her fingers barely brushed past him. "I got you now~"

Ichigo gulped before he took a chance and ran past her fingers and out of the bed and towards the door. 'Sorry Orihime, but I have to get out of here!'

"Kurosaki-kun, it's not polite to leave a lady wanting more like that~" She called before she resumed chasing him on all fours.

"No no no no no, leave me alone!"

"Come now, if you keep this up I might have to get a mouse cage to keep you in~"

Ichigo paled hearing that and finally remembered he was in his shinigami clothes and got an idea. 'Wait! Maybe I still have my powers with me.' He thought as he closed his eyes and began to focus as Orihime got closer and closer.

"I'm gonna get y- what the hell?!" She cried when she saw Ichigo suddenly float up into the air making her skid to a stop. "Kurosaki-kun, what is going on?!"

"It seems I still have my shinigami powers, bye Orihime!" He called before he started floating away faster making her hiss.

"That's cheating Kurosaki-kun, I'm going to have to punish you~" She called before racing after him and leaping up in hopes of catching him.

"Woah!" He cried moving his legs up and narrowly avoiding her hands. "Stop it Orihime, I'm not going to let you catch me again and do something else weird with me!"

"I would never do anything weird~" She chuckled as she leaped one more, this time managing to grab one of his legs. "Got you~"

"Crap!" He cried as he was yanked down and found himself face first in her chest again. "O-Orihime, let go of me!"

"No, I'm never letting go of you again, you keep running away!" She pouted while nuzzling his head. "I need to be more watchful of you."

"No, you need to act less possessive and cat like, I feel like I'm being hunted!" He protested as he struggled to get free. "Let go of me!"

"But I can't help it, you're so adorable I can't help but wanna keep playing~" She purred as she licked her lips. "And your so tasty, I think I need another taste, so pucker up Kurosaki-kun~"

"Crap!" He cried out as she held him close and saw her lips coming closer, only to hear the front door open.

"Ichigo, where are you, I just had to convince the police that I was your girlfriend and that you were passed out so they didn't think I was carrying around a dead body!"

"Rukia over here!" He called before Orihime quickly covered his mouth.

"Now now Kurosaki-kun, we don't want any interlopers~"

"Ichigo? What are you doing back home? I'm not some pack mule to carry your body around."

"Mmmmph! Mmm!" He cried as he tried to alert Rukia.

"Shhh." She whispered as she help him closer. "Be a good little mouse, ok Kurosaki-kun~?"

"Mmmm! Mmmph!" He cried as he kept struggling, this time using his shinigami strength.

"Ichigo? Look, I'm putting your meat suit in your room." Called Rukia going up the stairs.

"Welp, time to hide Kurosaki-kun." Orihime said with a frown. 'I wonder if he'll change if he goes back into his body?'

'Wait! I got it!' He thought before concentrating as hard as he could and saw Zangetsu formed in his hand before he swung it downward and poked it in Orihime's hand.

"Ow! Hey, that hurt!" She cried as she instinctively let go of him.

"Rukia, over here, hurry!" He called out as loud as he could. He then bolted towards her as her head perked up in confusion.

"Ichigo? What's going on, where are yo- what the hell?!" She cried out when she saw him. "I-Ichigo?!"

"Long story, blame Kisuke, now get me into my body!"

"Well I've got it right here."

"Great, now I gotta get in there before Orihime catches me again!" He cried before diving into his body. It started to twitch just as Orihime came running down.

"Where is he, where is my Kurosaki-kun?!" She hissed looking at Rukia who gawked seeing the ears and tail.

"O-Orihime? Why do you have cat ears and a tail?! What is going on?!"

"I was playing with MY Kurosaki-kun, before you interrupted us."

"Wait, your Kurosaki-kun? You finally confessed to him? Well, here he is, but why was he so small?" She asked as Ichigo's body began to twitch more.

"Urahara-san gave us something to drink and we both changed." She said as she quickly took Ichigo's body. "It gave me these features and shrunk Kurosaki-kun and gave him mouse features."

"I should have guessed he was involved." She sighed before Ichigo's eyes opened. "Hey, Ichigo, you feeling alright?"

"That depends, do I have a tail?"

"Um, I don't think so?"

"Then I feel great." He said as he stood up. "Yes, and I'm back to normal height too!"

"Awww." Pouted Orihime before blinking as she felt tingly and saw her tail going back up her skirt while feeling her ears go into her head. "Huh? It's wearing off? N-no, I liked being confident with Kurosaki-kun!"

Ichigo and Rukia watched as Orihime's eyes also returned to normal before she blinked in confusion.

"H-Huh? W-What is going on, why am I in your house K-Kurosaki-kun?'

"Wait, you don't remember?"

"Remem…..ber….KYAAAA!" She cried as she began to remember what she had done with him, making her face go bright red.

"Now she does." Sweatdropped Rukia as Orihime quickly covered her face and turned away.

"I-I'm so sooooorrrrryyyy!" She cried out as Ichigo remembered what she had said and blushed as well.

'Did….did she mean what she said before?' He wondered while Rukia sweatdropped.

"Ichigo? Mind filling me on the details?"

"Ok, um, well after we changed Orihime started acting like a more zealous Yoruichi and went after me, and she may have confessed to me and gave me a bath against my will?"

Rukia gawked at him and Orihime who look mortified before smiling and nudged him. "Well, it's about time."

"D-Don't say that! I-I wasn't in my right mind!"

"Well…. What would you say if I felt the same then?" Ichigo asked slowly, making her freeze.

"W...W….What?" She asked as her heart skipped a beat.

"I….I think I like you to Orihime, I never knew you felt the way you did before…" He replied making the girl gasp and Rukia step back.

'Geez, I feel like I just stepped into a scene from a romance anime.'

"B...But...I treated you like a toy! A-A-And we...b...b...ba…" She stuttered with Ichigo holding a hand up.

"I know, and that's something I won't forget, for different reasons, it DID help you tell me the truth, something I should have noticed a lot sooner." He said with a nervous chuckle. "So… what do you say, do you want to try dating?"

"Y-Y-Y-Yes, I would like that!" She nodded quickly with a bright face.

"Well congratulation to both of you!" Came Kisuke's voice as he and Yoruichi both appeared, each holding a camera.

"YOU!" Growled Ichigo. "Have you been spying on us this whole time?!"

"Yep, and we got everything on tape too, congrats on being a couple, any chance I can interest you in a celebratory drink?"

Ichigo felt his eye twitch before letting out a yell and sent Kisuke flying through the window due to a kick to the chin. "I'm gonna kick your ass all over town for that stunt you pulled!"

"Oh come now, it wasn't all bad, was it? Hey, can you and Orihime try that again but in reverse? I need to be thorough to make sure there are truly no bad side effects." He asked while righting himself, but dodged a strike when Ichigo swung Zangetsu.

"I'm gonna shove this right up your-"

"K-Kurosaki-kun, please stop this!" Called Orihime in panic while Yoruichi chuckled and patted her back.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine. So, just between us girls, you gonna try anything kinky at school?"

"W-W-What?!" She cried out as she held her face. "I-I would never do something like that!"

"Come on, it's nothing to be embarrassed about, it's like experimenting." She chuckled as she got closer before whispering into her ear. "Also, any chance you want a copy of your little time with Ichigo, you two were pretty cute together~"

Orihime cried out in despair from embarrassment while Rukia sweatdropped and looked at her in pity.

'Poor girl, she has no idea what she's gotten herself into.'
