KILLER RABBIT! AHHHHHH!

JK

Hisagi had no idea what had hit him. He had been minding his own business handing in paperwork to the 12th division when all of a sudden he heard Mayuri Kurotsuchi's oily voice beside his ear, "Hold still, lieutenant."

POOF!

Akon watched with some chagrin as the lieutenant of the 9th division disappeared in a cloud of pink smoke. Kurotsuchi, his mad captain, waved his patchwork hand in front of his nose as though waving away some unwanted scent. "Well, then," he sneered, "I believe that should have done it."

The cloud finally dissipated and there on the ground looking as though it had been hit hard with an iron skillet, was a large, black and white rabbit.

"WHAAAAAAT!" Mayuri screamed, "What is this? He's supposed to be a CAT!" His poisonous yellow eyes narrowed and he cast his eyes about, "Who gave me that syringe…?"

Nemu and Akon sidled away so as not to incur his wrath as he vented anger at any and all present, completely ignoring the newly transformed lieutenant on the floor.

While her captain rampaged around the 12th squad's compound, Nemu reached down and lifted the shaking rabbit into her arms. Hisagi was in deep shock, his large rabbit eyes the size of saucers and Nemu could feel the rapid beating of his tiny rabbit heart through the dark silky fur. She didn't bother speaking, it always seemed a waste of time to her, especially when comforting someone. I mean really what could she say? 'It's ok, Hisagi, you've just been turned into an exceptionally large rabbit, everything is just peachy!' Hah. Yeah right.

As Nemu stroked his dark ears Akon sighed and began looking around for the other syringe, the one Mayuri had been searching for or the antidote that would restore the lieutenant to his human form, whichever he found first.

Mayuri snarled behind his subordinate, "Where is the other syringe, Akon?"

Akon, totally unruffled by his captain's dark aura rifled around for a bit until he held up a slightly smoking purple mixture in a large syringe.

Hisagi took one look and let his instincts for self preservation guide him. In a flash his strong back legs propelled him out of Nemu's arms and down the dark halls of the 12th division and out the front door towards the 4th squad's compound and Unohana.

Mayuri screeched at Nemu, "You little cretin! You let him escape! Go get him!"

As Nemu shunpoed off after the rabbit Mayuri reached into another cabinet and pulled out another syringe, this one was huge, like a rabies booster. The liquid inside was nearly clear whitish fluid that shimmered and sparkled with a slightly red hue. He gave Akon a sideways look that promised instant death if he did not go along with his captain's plan. "You will come with me and don't say anything to anyone, I'll handle the talking."

Hisagi Shuuhei, former lieutenant and acting captain of squad nine, ran for his life in great leaping bounds and hops that propelled him at the speed of sound towards captain Unohana and sanctuary. Behind him he could sense Nemu racing towards him and Mayuri slowly following.

He could feel his heart picking up to even greater efforts and his fear and anger gave him another burst of speed sending him careening around the corner on two wheels.

Kensei walked beside the rest of the vaizards on their way to the head captain. They had refused posts as shinigami and were coming to set up their own agenda in the real world. All of them had learned not to trust the hard way and even now after the war they were not about to open their arms to the people who had condemned them to death.

Hiyori bawled at Shinji, "I don't see why we have to come here to talk to these damn stupid shinigami! We do what the hell we want anyway, why are we coming here for permission!"

Shinji growled at her, "We AREN"T asking for permission, we're declaring our independence and wrapping up any loose ends."

As the two squabbled and pummeled each other Rose cocked his head, his expression one of extreme puzzlement, "Do you feel that?"

Just as the other vaizard's picked up what Rose was feeling, a bright pillar of reiatsu strangely muffled and approaching their position fast, it burst around the corner and collided with Hachi.

Hachi grabbed it gently so as not to hurt it. Love craned his head around Hachi's round shoulder, "What is it?" He asked.

In Hachi's arms was a very large, very angry, very tough looking black rabbit. Hiyori snarled and grabbed it by the scruff of it's neck. "What the hell is wrong with this thing?"

The rabbit twisted in midair and kicked with its powerful and well clawed back legs. POW!

Hiyori staggered backwards holding her face and the rabbit bared its teeth at her and raced past them. Kensei snorted, he couldn't quite get over the fact that the mighty easily-pissed off Hiyori had just been sucker punched by a rabbit that acted like a cat.

Luckily Shinji's laughter was louder than his own, "Whoa! Man did you see that? It bared its teeth at her! AH HA HA HA! It's a killer rabbit! Whoo hoo hoo hoo!"

Hiyori launched herself at him and the knock-down drag-out fight started right where it had left off.

"I hope it will be alright," Hachi worried, "The poor thing felt terrified, it must have been running from some dog—"

A blur of pale skin and black clothing raced past them after the rabbit like a guided missile until it too was out of sight.

Rose blinked and began readjusting his hair, "Really, the young lady didn't need to be so reckless," He sniffed.

A few seconds later Kurotsuchi and Akon dashed past the vaizards after the other two.

This was interesting enough that even Hiyori stopped smacking Shinji with her flip-flops to watch. When they had gone she yelled in a hushed tone, "What the HELL is going on here?"

Shinji sighed, "Don't know, but wherever that rabbit is it's screwed."

Mashiro wailed and waved her arms, "What? WHY? It's such a cute rabbit!"

Shinji shuddered and turned away to start back up the hill towards where the head-captain was waiting. "That was captain Kurotsuchi, the head of the 12th division, if he's chasing after the rabbit you can bet your scarf that it's going to become an experiment of his."

The vaizards shuddered and followed Shinji up the hill.
