DISCLAIMER- I, DO NOT, REPEAT, DO NOT, OWN BLEACH AT ALL.
CHAPTER 2
Chappy Everywhere
Rukia excused herself from the breakfast table, saying the last formal goodbyes to her brother for the day before she took a commission back at the world of the living. It was day two of the bet, and she was determined not to let go of her resolve. Unfortunately, neither did the other two.
Renji flashed onto Kuchiki grounds, waiting for Rukia with two hell butterflies and his sword, ready to open a senkaimon.
"You ready, Rukia?"
Rukia nodded, flash stepping next to Renji and taking control over one of the hell butterflies. Renji nodded, swinging his sword into thin air as it disappeared into the light. He twisted the sword, altering the space around it until a blinding red light formed the shape of the doors, creating the big gate. Rukia jumped into the alternate world with the butterfly following close behind. Renji paused before taking a step through the gate. He took out his soul pager and dialed a few buttons. He pressed the device to his phone, smirking as Ichigo's voice could be heard on the other end.
"Renji! What the hell is this thing doing in my room?"
Renji took a minute to snicker, unable to imagine just what his face looked like at that very moment. "You'll see, just keep Rukia busy for now, and make sure she doesn't see it"
Ichigo sighed. "Whatever it is, this thing getting out of my room as soon as you're done with it"
"Don't worry, I don't think it'll take long before this bet is ours"
"Hah… I see where you're headed with this…But…It's staring at me"
"W-Wha…?"
A shiver ran up Rukia's spine as she tried her best not to hug the closest, fluffy being in her path. She gulped, shutting her eyes so she wouldn't have to look at its huggable size.
Ichigo settled on the edge of his bed, trying his best not to smirk and give it away.
As for Renji…
He didn't.
He put one hand on Rukia's shoulder, a large smile reaching ear to ear on his face.
"R-Renji… Wha…"
"Something wrong, Rukia?"
She turned to Renji, having a horrible stutter.
"Th-that thing, that-"
"What thing?"
Rukia's breathe hitched, sweat rolling down the side of her face.
Standing in front of Rukia was a large, white furred stuffed rabbit that had extra large eyes. It was at the exact height of the short shinigami, so Rukia could easily see it eye to eye.
"So, what's the plan? Make a few jokes?"
Renji's smirk grew larger, Ichigo's eyebrow rose. "What rabbit?"
"What… ?" Ichigo, with perfect acting skills, facial expression turned into a cautious one. He took his shinigami badge and forced his soul out of his body, quickly gripping the hilt on his sword. "Do you sense a hollow nearby?"
Rukia still refused to look at the rabbit, furiously pointing at the spot in front of her.
"What? Don't you fools see it?"
Renji and Ichigo looked at each other, as if Rukia had gone crazy.
"Rukia, do you need to talk with my dad?" Ichigo asked with sympathy and a hint of Renji's devious side.
"Yeah, maybe he can help you…" Renji agreed.
"But, there's nothing wrong with me, it's right there! Can't you see it?"
The two male shinigami looked around. "Rukia, come on, I think my dad's on a break so we can ask him to do a quick check up"
"Ichigo, there's nothing wrong with me! Renji, you have to believe me!"
Ichigo looked at Renji, Renji shaking his head.
The two were having fun with this.
But unfortunately, Rukia found it hard to concentrate and figure out their game when 'the thing' was staring at her with hopeful eyes.
Ichigo carried Rukia's gigai from the closet she had created into her own room.
"Come on Rukia, get in"
"NO! I swear, I'm not-"
"Come on, Rukia. It'll be ok, I promise"
"NO!"
"What do you idiots want?"
"Well, I honestly don't know, Ryuuken. This child seems to be seeing a… bunny. Everywhere"
Ryuuken and Ishiin looked down at Rukia, who was seated in a chair. Ryuuken gave a sour face, at the feel that she was a soul reaper.
"Alright" Ryuuken took a flashlight and shined it I Rukia's eyes for a brief second.
"I'll start with some questions, see if your mind is intact. What is your name?" He asked, watching Rukia's violet orbs following the finger he had started to move in front of her eyes with a hidden, killing intent.
"Rukia. Kuchiki."
From beyond the two doctors, there was an object peeking out of a corner. Rukia frowned, trying to make out the outline of the shape. Her eyes widened in realization as the form stepped out into plain sight.
"Y-You!"
The two doctors looked back at the bunny as he scratched his head, but they seemed to be clueless. They looked back at Rukia.
"Is that what Ichigo was talking about…?"
"What have you dragged me into this time, Ishiin?" Ryuuken uninterestedly asked.
The Bunny walked towards Rukia, holding its paw out. It's face still contained that cheeky grin, and big shining eyes- Rukia's most favorite features of the Chappy.
Rukia looked away. The whole, she knew she had a bet to keep, and the moment she shook it's soft, white, fur hand will be her demise.
"No…" Rukia silently cried inside.
The bunny paused. But when Rukia looked back, she knew it was her end. Yet somehow, a veteran soul reaper and one of the strongest, last Quincy weren't able to see a bunny.
At a nearby window, the glint of a cat's eye shined.
Behind the wall, Renji had to take every single ounce of courage that he could not to laugh at Ichigo, who had started to dance to a thing called the shuffle.
Out of pure luck, Ishiin and Ryuuken had picked up on the hints they gave with the explanation of Rukia's 'sickness'.
But in mid-seconds, a scream, followed by a boom followed.
There was ice everywhere, and the Chappy, who was once dancing for the rabbit-ill Rukia, was now half frozen. Rukia looked down, Sode no shirayuki in one hand. Her fists clenched, and she looked up with the most terrifying eyes a chappy lover herself could ever give.
"This…Means…War." She whispered.
Watching by closely, laughing at the Ishiin and Ryuuken frozen to the window, body and cheeks squished.
"Good idea, Renji. But Rukia can fight as well"
