BLEACH DOES NOT BELONG TO ME! only the mirrored world does :)
~The Human Seritei~
The cat had much the same habits as Jushiro, they both woke up early and went to their garden for their morning tea, the cat followed this routine or was going to before smelling blood, following the scent his suspicions were answered, Jushiro was ill, no one else had seemed to notice yet and the cat heard Jushiro coughing from the door when he was about to pass it so he knocked gently and was answered by the captain "enter.." The cat was a little reluctant but entered the room, his senses were correct, jushiro was in bed on his side, he looked like he was hurting and he was bloodied, the cat kneeled by the captains side "may I assist you with anything Taicho?" Jushiro looked surprised expecting Rukia or Shunsui "good morning... I should be fine... I will however be unable to leave my bed today, he looks apologetic "forgive my rudeness.." The cat nods "that is fine.. I have similar days.. Please don't feel guilty.." Jushiro is a little relieved, though he couldn't help thinking this was still a little strange "I will ask Kuchiki-San to assist you with anything you may need today in my place" the cat nods "that is fine, I will keep my Shunsui out of trouble for you... Did you want anything..." Jushiro sighs "you don't have to do anything, your a guest..." The cat nods "true.. But I also share your experience... So if I can help, I am willing..." Jushiro frowns a little before pointing to a small beside cupboard "would you Mind finding me a needle marked morning?" The cat nods faithfully before doing as asked, Jushiro looks tiredly questioning "how did you know.." The cat looks a little apologetic "I smelt blood... I know myself well enough to know that you were likely the culprit.." Jushiro nods "of course.." The cat finds the needle and inspects it "where should I inject this?" Jushiro answered by revealing his arm "just in my arm" the cat nods and expertly treats the captain being gentle but swift "will this put you to sleep?" Jushiro nods "yes..." The cat looks thoughtful "it there anything else you need?" Jushiro shakes his head and looks grateful "thank you..." The cat smiles "no problem... I can sympathise with your pain so I'm glad I can help.. And I'm sure you would do the same for me if the situation were reversed" jushiro nods and smiles "most likely... It seems like we both make a good healer.." The medicine kicked in around then and jushiro was soon dead to the world under his medicine, the cat was of course just as caring as his counterpart and didn't leave until he'd cleaned up the mess and had water beside the bed for when the captain woke. Rukia knocked just as the cat had finished up and he met her outside, fair to say she was shocked for a second before the cat bowed politely "please, let me introduce myself, I am the ukitake from the other world, your captain will not be out of bed today as he is unwell" rukia took a second but nodded "hai.. Is he ok?" The cat nods "I have given him his medicine and he is sleeping" rukia looked stunned "ok..." The questions were obvious on her face and the cat smiles gently "I have a similar affliction in my own world and am trained in healing for my own and others sake" rukia nods understanding "I understand taicho... Were there any orders for me?" The cat nods faithfully repeating the order "he was going to ask you to make sure my companion and I were comfortable, I assure you we are" he smiles, rukia nods "hai... Then let me know if you need anything... I will report to head captain.." He nods "thank you Kuchiki-San" rukia smiles a little awkwardly and excuses herself, still shocked at her captains counterpart, the cat then continued to the garden and sat cross legged, though he did find being human wasn't nearly as comfortable as being himself.. But he didn't complain, it took a lot of energy to change and frankly he didn't feel like using that much energy.
The cat had only been sitting in the garden for half an hour before someone pulled on his tail from nowhere, he turned quickly to see a little girl with bright pink hair "good morning ukiiiii" the cat looks surprised "uh.. Hello... Yachiru-San?" She nods happily "that's me, you look different uki, are you wearing a costume?" She playfully pulled on his tail again before randomly touching his fur "your costume is soft!" The cat blushes "um... I'm not your.. Taicho.. I'm a visitor from the other world..." Yachiru looks surprised and then more eager "really! There's two ukiis" he nods nervously, he was used to a little lion cub in the other world... "Hai.." Yachiru thought this was great and hugged the confused cat and then reached up and felt his ears "your fun, do you want to play?" She giggles and then suddenly looks curious "are you like a cat?" She immediately investigated scratching behind his ears instantly making him move into her scratch with pleasure "some thing like that..." Yachiru finding that she got a reaction smiles and continues finding the reaction cute "Awwww, uki is like a kitty" he was admittedly very much like a house cat, and purrs with pleasure looking a little sad when she stopped randomly "do you like candy?" She doesn't really give too much time to answer though before producing some from a bag and putting them in the cats hand, he blushes a little "uh.. Yes... Thank you..." She smiles and sits happy beside him eating a few lollies herself "anything for ukii". The cat rather enjoyed sweets at home but it wasn't exactly healthy for him, since he was a bobcat and all, he looks at the little sweets in his hands and they looked like little fireworks, coloured blue and pink, he eats one cautiously immediately loving it "thank you yachiru San" yachiru smiles "do you want to play?" The cat looks unsure at her "what do you want to play..." She looks thoughtful then giggles "tag?" The cat frowns apolegetically "I'd never be able to catch you, you'd get bored" she pouts a little "ok ukii" she then picks some grass and playfully holds it up "then you have to catch this ok" he looks a little confused at the game but it becomes interesting in no more then a minute as his playful side took over, kinda like waving a string in front of a house cat, he will try and catch it, this worked everytime with the cat jushiro as well and it was rather amusing for yachiru. Finally with a hug and scratch yachiru moved on giving the nickname kitty uki before leaving just as abruptly as she came. The cat sighed, it seemed yachiru was exactly the same as well, he wondered where her captain was... He didn't exactly want to meet him.
It turned out the rukia had wanted to speak with 'kitty uki' before yachiru came along but seeing that yachiru was there decided to watch the whole meeting instead, she has trouble resisting a laugh and fangirling over the cuteness of the captain... She'd honestly never seen her captain do anything like that before and the unexpectedness of it was just amazing, she finally approached the captain when she had calmed down "uh.. Taicho?" The cat looks at her politely "yes Kuchiki San?" She smiles and kneels "would you like anything?" The cat smiled gently "you don't have to use such respect with me Kuchiki San, I am a visitor here, not your higher up.." She blushes a little "oh.. Well it's just you look so similar.. Besides the.. Fur.." She blushes worse "what should I call you sir?". The peace was inturupted once more by the flapping of wings as the bird landed next to the cat, rukia recognised him and found it amusing but remained respectful "good morning... Taicho..." The bird bows his hat "and to you Kuchiki San... Call me shunsui though..." He smiles, rukia blushes and nods "hai..." She looks confused at the cat whom continued politely "I am just jushiro here". Rukia nods "hai, can I get you two anything?" The cat looks unsure "do you mind if I have some tea?" The bird for once decided to behave "tea sounds alright" rukia nods "anything to eat?.." The cat looked thoughtful, since he wasn't home this makes two lots of medicine that he hadn't received, so he figured he should keep his strength up "that sounds good..". Rukia looks unsure and blushes "excuse my rudeness.. But my taicho usually has sweet rice dishes... I'm not sure if that is suitable for..." She blushes worse trying not to be rude, not knowing what to say, the bird chuckles "your so cute Kuchiki-San" the cat sighs at the bird before smiling "hai, I understand, usually I have stew type dishes... I'm hardly allowed to eat sweet" he muses "shunsui will have fruit and seeds" rukia blushes and nods "hai, I'll have it brought out for you when it's ready" she stands and heads back to the division leaving the two guests alone.
The bird looks up at the cat "why haven't you changed yet?" The cat frowns "it takes a lot of energy for me, it's easier to stay this way, especially since I'm not sure when I will be getting home... I can't take my medicine" the bird nods thoughtful "you have a good point, you should take it easy while your here" the cat looks thoughtful "I will... I'm sure this seritei can't afford two sick captains..." The bird smiles "don't worry, I'd look after you instead" the cat nods "I know.. So where did you go off too last night" the bird chuckles "well I went for a walk and had a look at their eighth division, and I met a few new people, you know hitsuguya taicho? He is just as small this side as he is on our side, he's cute too" he chuckles then looks thoughtful "one thing I did find out was this worlds me has similar powers to mine, we both use shadows as weapons... What of you?" The cat looks thoughtful "I use water but ukitake taicho... He has a slightly different ability, when he releases his zanpaktou he can return most elemental attacks" the bird nods "but can't you do that as well with certain attacks "yes.. With supernatural abilies such as energy, fire I can't, for obvious reasons, and water is the same as me so I'm really just absorbing their attack.." The bird looks up "about these zanpaktou... The humans used to used blades... I wonder if they used these... Zanpaktou..." The cat nods thinking similarly "I was planning on looking it up when I got home" the bird smiles "I should have known... Say.. Where is our host..." The cat frowns "my assumptions were correct, he is unwell today..." The bird looks thoughtful "as in coughing blood?" The cat nods, the bird sighs "mattaku.. You two are basically twins aren't you... Is he alright?" The cat looks thoughtful "indeed... I beleve so..." The bird looks at him "how did you know anyway... Or is that a stupid question?" The cat frowns "I could smell the blood... I couldn't just ignore it... Particularly knowing my own misfortune..." The bird shakes his head "you are a little creepy...", the cat sighs "I can't help it.. I am made to kill my prey you know..." He looks at the bird with slight annoyance "something you occasionally tempt in me.." The bird shivers "how scary.. Your not supposed to kill your friends..." The cat sighs "it would be too noisy to kill you... And you know it... I'd never get away with it,.. And your not defenceless either..." The bird smiles "your right..." Their conversation was inturupted by two division members delivering each guest a tray of food and drink, and the two settled down to eat. The bird picks at the fruit curiously while the cat politely used the chopsticks provided for him. The cat picked through the stew before actually eating, he tended to a little bit of a fussy eater at times as well as he had a tendency to eat slowly, the cat hated getting things stuck in his teeth, hated it with a passion, it caused him headaches, he found of he rather enjoyed this worlds cooks though, the meal was more then satisfactory. The bird looks thoughtful "you know this world isn't really so bad is it..." The cat nods "I could get used to living here... But I still think home is better...".
after hearing about jushiro's condition, since no one had told him straight away, shunsui dropped by thirteen after finding out what was happening with the tears, it turned out that the researchers were to return to thirteenth late in the afternoon, he first let rukia know before finding jushiro's guests to let them know as well. At that point the cat and bird had wandered through jushiro's rather large garden and had come to rest in a quiet part of it. The bird after all did decide to change form since the cat was starting to get bothered and didn't want to risk making himself ill. he was a mirror image of his counter part only instead of fur lining his body, brown feathers did, however unlike the cats clean appearance, the bird wing feathers created selves around his arms that hung rather low, His main difference though was his face, the lower half of his face looked darker where his white facial features turned black around his beak, his beak was the only feature that there was no sign of. When shunsui found the two guests, oddly jushiro was laying down on his side and shunsui was chatting playfully, in fact the two were so immersed in their conversation, shunsui was able to watch from a distance. The bird was bragging about something and the cat pushed him playfully, shunsui wasn't sure how long he was watching before jushiro sighed looking a little depressed murmuring about some things he was missing at home, the bird lightened and playfully scratched the cats ears making him feel better. It was odd to watch for shunsui and he realised just how close the two were, and in turn how close he and jushiro were as well as he recalled that he had sat by jushiro's side countlessly when he was I'll, just keeping him company, the memories made him feel nostalgic and grateful for the friendship he had. The wind changed at that point revealing shunsui's scent to the cat and he immediately sat up to look at shunsui "kyouraku taicho" the cat blushed a little and the bird who'd evidently not noticed the watching captain waved cheerfully, he like the cat did not wear his haori in his human form but only wore the pink haori and hat with the pants, no shirt due to his wings, he needed a sleeveless shirt to be able to wear one and he didn't have one so didn't wear one. Shunsui nods in greeting and approaches "I didn't here till a while ago that juu had fallen ill... Had I known I probably would have helped out sooner.." He sighs apologetically "I found out what's happening finally, you should be fine to go home late this afternoon... It's inconvenient I realise, but apparently they are working hard on resolving the issue" the cat nods "thank your kyouraku taicho... And it's fine, we are able to look after ourselves enough to stay out of trouble.." The bird nods in agreement, shunsui chuckles "I don't doubt it... You've probably heard it a few times today, but do you need anything?" The cat chuckles "your correct, we are fine right now though" shunsui nods "let me put it this way then, are you two bored?" The bird looks surprised "bored..." Now that he'd mentioned it, the two were indeed starting to get bored since they figured they should stay in the division, the cat looks thoughtful while the bird was honest "that's a question we haven't been asked... We are getting that way..." The cat looks unsure "it's fine though... It's not a problem". Shunsui smiles "did you want to come for a walk with me? I was heading out shortly..." The bird looks at juu before nodding "sounds good to me... And I sure juu here would appreciate it too... He thinks too much if left alone doing nothing" he smiles playfully before flinching after getting a punch to his side from the cat "mind your own buisness..." The bird pouts and holds his side "gah.. That's not fair juu..." Shunsui resists a laugh realising the cat would probably turn on him as well... "Well your welcome to accompany me... I know I have a short attention span... So I don't think it would be wrong of me to assume you both suffer the same problem in a world like this.." The cat nods "you might be right.. We will accompany you" the cat then stands to be followed by the bird, it really was shocking how much the two mirrored their counterparts.
