Transformation!!
--------------
Ichigo growled silently and turned around. A soft breeze came into the room through the opened window, since it was already summer. At the moment he was in his bed in Karakura Town sleeping soundly and secure.
There would be no more arrancar attacks, sine they had beaten Aizen the last winter. But before the winter war different arrancar had suddenly decided to work for the shinigami, since they hadn't done anything to Nel and so the shinigami had been able to kick Aizen's ass. The arrancar lived now in the real world, most in America for some reason, but to Ichigo's joy, what he wouldn't admit of course, Grimmjow, who had also turned against Aizen, had stayed in Karakura Town.
The Soul Society had finally decided to send a shinigami to Karakura, so Ichigo could concentrate on school, which didn't mean, that Ichigo had to kick some hollow butt every now and then, because the shinigami was pretty useless, but it still helped the teen.
Ichigo turned over again and again, sweat lined up at his body. Suddenly the boy's body began to change and he twitched, as if he had a nightmare.
--------------
Ichigo woke up and turned his head to his alarm clock. 0.34. Ichigo blinked. Ichigo grunted and went through his hair with his left hand as he lay back down, to go back to sleep. Then suddenly something was in the way of his hand. Ichigo looked irritated at his hand, and then went back to the thing that it had just touched. It was fluffy. And Ichigo could //feel// the touch.
At first Ichigo shuddered and just stared into oblivion. Then he ran hysterically into the bathroom. As he arrived and glanced into the mirror Ichigo was shocked. No, he was beyond shocked. Way beyond.
Ichigo starred at his reflection, at his reflection starred mercilessly back. Ichigo gulped.
What was going on?
Ichigo had ears. Not normal ears, not in the normal position of ears. He had //cat// ears on the //top// of his head!
--------------
After Ichigo had thrown over some cloths, and recognizing that he had not only cat ears, but also a cat tail; he took his coat to make up at least that fact and dashed out to the street. Quickly he ran to the Uruhara's place, praying to god, that he wouldn't meet anyone on his way. But of course faith was as nice as to not take up that wish.
--------------
Soul Society was furious. The shinigami they had sent to Karakura Town was not up to their expectations, so they had to take him back. They would have to send somebody more experienced into the town, and also someone who was up to fight adjuchas on a daily basis. So Yamamoto-Sou-Taichou had picked Rukia and Renji to go back to their friends' home town.
As they arrived in Karakura, through a gate that Uruhara provided, they found themselves in mid-air, speeding to the ground. After a not so soft landing, they made their way to Urahara, to "thank" him for his kindness with the gate.
As they were going through the Town they realized that Ichigo's reiatsu was closing in to them.
"Why is that idiot up this late at night?" Renji wondered, after Rukia had told him, since he was no use in reiatsu detecting.
As the teen was in their sight, they both called out for him. Ichigo, deep in thought before, raised his head.
--------------
"What are you guys doing here?" Ichigo shouted over the distance.
"We're now in charge for this place!" Renji shouted back, as he and Rukia now went to Ichigo.
Ichigo shifted uncomfortably. His friends hadn't seen his "change" yet.
"Umm… well see you around, I have to go to Urahara!" Ichigo shouted, hopping that he would loose them.
"Yeah, we too… we used his frigging gate." Rukia scowled while saying. They were just 5 meters away from Ichigo. Suddenly Renji stopped.
"Ichigo… what is //that//?" he asked shocked, pointing at Ichigo's head.
Rukia looked to Renji, and then to Ichigo. Her eyes widened as she looked at his ears.
Ichigo looked to the floor and blushed.
"I have no idea why something like //that// is on my fucking head… that's why I'm going to Urahara…"
--------------
Urahara was in a great mood. After midnight, he had been finally able to get Jinta to sleep and was now in his room, watching videos he kept away from the children for certain reasons.
As he watched it, a grin began to split across his face. The "protagonist" was slowly reaching the "climax" of the movie, as suddenly somebody shouted through the shop. Angrily Urahara twisted around. It had been the voice of his best friend's child, Ichigo. Urahara turned around to the screen again and sighted. He turned off the TV and got up, checking if his pants sat in the right place. Then he went out of his room, trying to look cheerful.
--------------
Ichigo, Rukia and Renji had arrived at the shop and were rather taken back that Urahara wasn't awaiting them as he usually did, no matter of what time it was.
After a few minutes of shouting he finally turned up, trying to look cheerful, but Ichigo noticed that he wasn't to keen on seeing them.
"Well, what can I do for you, my young friends?" Urahara said, clapping his fan open.
Renji took a step forward give him a piece of his mind about Urahara's gate, but Ichigo held him back. He could beat up the annoying shinigami, as soon as Ichigo would have a solution to his problem.
"Urahara…" Ichigo began, rather calmly "; what the HELL is //that//??" Ichigo finished yelling and pointing at his ears.
Urahara blinked then looked at the teen's ears.
"Oh." Urahara exclaimed.
"…" Only silence came from the man with the white and green strapped heat.
"That's normal." The shop-keeper finally said.
"What do you mean, NORMAL??" Ichigo screamed.
"Well, that happens to substitutant-shinigamis." Urahara only shrugged his shoulders.
Ichigo stared at him.
"Is this… permanent*?" Ichigo asked, fearing the worst.
"Yep!" Urahara shouted happily.
--------------
Ichigo was shell-shocked. His hand was pointing at Urahara and he stared into nothing. If this situation would have been drawn in an anime he would be white and 2D, while his soul would come out of his mouth to reach higher spheres.
"But to conceal it from other humans, you can take THIS!" Urahara chirped and showed Ichigo, who was slowly regaining consciousness, a jar of tablets.
"With this you will look normal for about 9 to 10 hours, still I wouldn't recommend to take them too often, so just use them when you go to school" Urahara grinned and gave Ichigo the tablets.
Ichigo just went out of the shop, still too shocked to get out a word.
--------------
Urahara looked at Ichigo's back as the teen went out of the shop. Normally these tablets would cost a hell lot of money, but he was too eager to get back to his film, and some part inside him pitied the substitutant-shinigami for what had just happened to him.
"Well, and what can I do for you two?" he asked, keeping his smiling face. The sooner the other two where out of the house, the sooner he could finish his video.
Urahara sweat dropped as suddenly an evil aura came from both of the shinigamis.
--------------
Somewhere in Karakura Town a woman woke up, as a man screamed for his live. The woman scratched her head and went back to sleep. The creepy shop-keeper again was everything that crossed her mind.
--------------
*permanent= even Orihime can't do something against it.
