When Harry woke up and she told him good evening, Yoruichi expected him to be confused and ask her where he was and who she is. What she didn't expect was for him to start hyperventilating while looking at her with wide, terrified eyes.

"Where am I?! Where's the kitty?! Where's the house?! I gotta get back!" Yoruichi just started in complete shock as she watched him fire off question after question while slowly breaking down. Then he curled up in the fetal position and tried to make himself as small as possible. She felt a twinge in her heart as she heard him start to sob. Wordlessly, she pulled him into a tight hug. He stiffens and tries to struggle out of her grasp.

"Shhhhh..." was the sound Yoruichi made as she started to rub his head. Harry at first flinched at the contact... But after a minute of felling no pain, he realized that she wasn't hurting him. Confused, he looked up at her, eyes wide. She looks down at him with a smile. "Hi there." Yoruichi greeted. "Are you okay now?"

Harry blinked, and nodded, not wanting to upset her. "Wh-Where's the kitty...?" He asked softly. "Is the kitty okay?"

She chuckled. "Don't worry, the kitty is fine." Yoruichi assured him.

"Where is it?" Harry asked. "Did it go home?" Yoruichi paused for a moment and thought about whether or not she should show him.

Then, she nodded. "Yes, Harry. I came to save you. The kitty saw that you were safe and went home."

"Oh." Harry said with disappointment as he looked down. He wished that the kitty would have stayed for a little while longer.

"Don't worry. You'll see the kitty again." Yoruichi assured.

Harry looked back up at her with hope shining in his eyes. "R-Really?"

"Yes. The kitty is...a good friend of mine." Harry smiled at her. She smiled back and petted his head. Harry leaned into her touch and rubbed his head on her hand. Yoruichi smirked. How ironic...He was acting like an affectionate cat. Just then, a loud growling sound filled the room. Yoruichi looked confused until the sound came back and looked down at Harry, where the sound came from. She smirked. "Well, looks like someone needs to eat his dinner." Harry blushes in embarrassment.

"It's okay..." He mumbled. "I don't need dinner..."

She gives him a confused lok. "What do you mean? You're hungry and you should eat so you don't get sick." Yoruichi explained.

"But...But Uncle Vernon will be mad at me..." Harry replied softly. Yoruichi frowned at what he told her.

"Is that the fat man I saw earlier?" She asked. He looked slightly afraid as he nodded his head.

"Forget him. He can't do a thing to you now." Yoruichi replied gently. "Now...What's your name?"

"H-Harry..."

"Hello Harry." Yoruichi greeted with a smirk and pointed a thumb to herself. "My names Yoruichi."

"Hi, Miss Yoruichi..."

Yoruichi smiled. "Alright then, now that we are properly introduced to each other, lets get some food for you."

"Why are you being so nice to me?" Harry couldn't help but ask the ex soul reaper captain.

"Hmm...Let me see..." Yoruichi faked contemplation. "Why am I so nice to you? Could it be because you're sweet and kind? Perhaps it's because you're outrageously adorable? Or maybe it's a combination of both."

Harry's eyes widen about her comment about him being adorable. "Y-You think I'm adorable?"

Yoruichi smiled. "I don't THINK... I KNOW." She poked his nose gently. Harry giggled from getting poked in the nose. Yoruichi giggled herself at the heartwarming sound. 'I'm keeping this one.' Yoruichi thought to herself. "Anyway..." Yoruichi began. "I brought dinner to you." She pointed to the steak and potatoes. Harry looked to the plates she was pointing to and his eyes widen at how much was on his plate.

"Y-You're gonna let me eat all that...?" He exclaimed softly.

"I sure am." Yoruichi said without hesitation as she pulled the plates closer to them and handed him a fork and knife. "I hope your hungry." Yoruichi told him as she picked up her own fork and looked at his food uneasily. Uncle Vernon would kill him if-

"Oh my, I forgot to cut your meat..." Yoruichi said. "Let me fix that..." Harry watched as she took her fork and knife and cut his huge steak into small cubes.

Harry gave Yoruichi another glance, then wordlessly began to eat. "Thank you..." He said softly.

She smiles and starts to eat her own steak. "Your welcome Harry." Harry enjoyed his food immensely...However, when he was halfway done, he began to feel full, as his little boy tummy wasn't built to carry that much food. But he didn't want to be rude to Yoruichi after she's been so nice to him so he tried to force himself to eat more.

He ate until his plate was empty, and let out a soft groan. Yoruichi, who finished her plate a few moments before he did, noticed his groan and looked at him in worry. "Oh my...You didn't eat too much, did you?" She asked with a frown, arms crossed.

He let another, more painful sounding, groan as he shook his head yes. "I-I didn't want to be rude." Harry explained as he felt like his insides were about to burst.

Yoruichi smiled and picked him up, holding him close. "It's not rude to be full. That was a lot of food for your little tummy...I should have known better." Despite the pain he was feeling in his gut, Harry couldn't help but relax into her embrace. Yoruichi began to gently pat his back. This caused Harry to let out a loud belch and blush in embarrassment. Yoruichi grimaced, then smiled. "Well then...That was well brought up."

"Sorry." Harry apologized in embarrassment. Fortunately, her burping him made his stomach feel a little better.

"It's okay." Yoruich replied with a smirk. "Let me see if I can find any medicine to make your tummy better." She walks to her kitchen and looks through her medicine cabinet for stomach ache medicine. She smirks and pours some of the liquid medicine into a small plastic cup. She puts it to Harry's lips. "This will make you feel better. And it's orange flavored." Yoruichi told him as he tipped his head and she poured it into his mouth. Harry breathed a sigh of relief when he felt his stomach pain fading.

"I feel better." Harry told her then yawned.

Yoruichi smiled. "Looks like it's bed time..." She yawned. "For both of us..." Harry hummed in agreement.

Yoruichi left the kitchen and walked towards her bedroom, opening the door when she stopped in front of it. "Um...Aren't you gonna put me in the cupboard?" Harry asked. "That's where the freaks go..."

Yoruichi stopped as she was about to go into the room and looked at Harry. "Listen to me, your not going to sleep in a cupboard anymore and your going to be sleeping with me. Okay?" Yoruichi told him gently.

"Y-You want a freak in your bed...?" Harry asked timidly. "You're not scared of catching my freakiness?"

She was able to stop herself from showing how upset his words made her and rubbed his head. "You are not a freak Harry. Whatever your Uncle told you is a lie." Harry whimpered. Yoruichi comforted him with a kiss on his cheek. "It's okay little guy, lets get to bed." Yoruichi told him as she walked into he room and shut the door behind them. She gently placed Harry into her bed, then climbed in next to him and pulled him in close. He snuggled into her and immediately fell asleep. Yoruichi smiled softly at the little boy. 'I'm going to make sure that you live a good live Harry.' Yoruichi thought before she too lost herself to Morpheus's spell. Subconsciously, as she fell asleep, she tightened her hold on Harry, smiling warmly as they slept, their hearts beating as one.
