Well, here you are. Another dose of insanity disguised as a story!

Stuffing

There were many kinds of stuffing. Their was the kind of stuffing you could put in a turkey; there was the kind of stuffing in stuffed animals, and there was ... well ... are there anymore?

The object of this story will deal with the first, and only, two that I mentioned.

"Ichigo!"

Said Shinigami was pulled from his thoughts of feeding, by force if necessary, his homework to Kon when Rukia burst through his door.

"What the hell?!" Ichigo yelled, nearly falling out of his chair as he glared at the midget in his doorway.

"Kon's missing!"

Well, there went the idea of feeding the homework to him. Maybe Rukia would eat it . . .

"So what?" Ichigo asked, going back to trying to answer the complex Algebra question.

"Well, let's see," Rukia said, leaning up against the door, a smirk on her face. "One; if anyone sees a talking stuffed lion, we could have problems. Two; I lost my glove, if a Hollow comes along, you're stuck. And three; Yuzu wants him to try on a new dress and I promised I would find him." Rukia finished by throwing a book at Ichigo's head.

He yelped and stood to his feet, glaring at her.

"Fine. I'll help you find that God-forsaken lion."

Rukia smiled and skipped out of the door. Ichigo followed grumbling. When they found Ichigo's whole family sitting in the living room, Ichigo pulled on his coat and said,

"We're going out. Be back in a bit."

Isshin waved and Karin and Yuzu, who were playing a video game, didn't even move.

Ichigo sighed and handed Rukia her coat, wrapping it around her shoulders when she hopped out happily into the cold air.

"Put it on, stupid."

She glared at him but wrapped the coat around herself anyway. They began searching the streets. That was where Kon was most of the time; trying to pick up a girl on his way home.

That, or trying to drown himself in the rain.

Which almost worked once.

The fluffy, orange lion who was currently being searched for was sitting under Ichigo's bed, having stuffed himself into Ichigo's size 11 shoe.

It. Smelled. Bad.

"GAH!"

Kon popped out of the shoe, gasping in the fresh air as he ran as far away from the shoe as he could get. Rubbing his head with his fluffy paw, he began walking around the house, taking extra care not to get caught by Yuzu.

But as fate would have it, he was found.

By none other than said little, enthusiastic girl, Yuzu.

"Oh, there you are! Come with me to cook!"

And then she hauled him into the kitchen. He then got a running commentary on her life while Yuzu put together a turkey.

"Yesterday, while I was playing with Jinta, I fell and hurt my arm. I got a big bruise, but it's not broken. And after that, me and Ururu put some goo into Jinta's shoes. When he stepped inside of them, there was a really funny sound and then he started chasing us. It was fun."

Kon was trying not to scream . . . or laugh . . . or cry. Or anything.

He had to be a good stuffed animal, or else Ichigo said he would tie him up in his stinky socks and hide him in the floorboards.

Bad thoughts.

"And then, on the way home, I was playing with Karin's soccer ball that she left with me, and I accidentally kicked it into the park. I had to run after it in the rain because my umbrella flew away. I got really wet!"

Kon watched as Yuzu began putting something inside the turkey. She smiled and turned to him.

"This is stuffing. Want some?"

And then she fed him stuffing. He could feel it tickling against the back of his furry throat, and he felt like giving Yuzu a kick in the face, but the thought of Ichigo's socks made him stop.

"Anyway, while I was in the park, I saw a doggie, and I saw a little boy playing along. I think he was a ghost but I'm not sure. But then he was gone; and all I could see was a black butterfly. I wasn't actually looking when he disappeared, but I could hear voices."

Kon was about to scream. He couldn't take much more! Who in the would could listen to Yuzu ramble on and on about such a boring day? AHH!

"And then I found Ichi-nii and Rukia-chan!" Yuzu continued, sticking something in the turkey and shoving it in the oven. She then turned to Kon and picked him up. "They were kissing!"

Thank God Ichigo and Rukia walked in at the moment, or else Yuzu would have seen Kon crying and it would all be over for the pretty, little stuffed lion. It would be socks for him.

"Hey, Yuzu, who you talking to?" Ichigo asked, hanging up his coat. He had heard the last sentence that Yuzu had said, and his face was bright red. Rukia was following behind him. "Rukia! Off with the coat and shoes! Now."

Rukia glared and turned back, walking over to the door and pulling off her shoes and coat.

"Oh, I'm just talking to my stuffed lion. I found him, Rukia-chan, you don't have to look anymore. I was telling him about seeing you guys kissing in the rain!"

Ichigo groaned.

Heknew that he was in for a lot of yelling from one small, orange lion when he hauled the mod-soul back up to his room.

And if Yuzu saw Kon crying right now, it was socks for him.

Whatcha think? I think I'm crazy!
