The Loose Pig Part 2
"You have got to be kidding me," Ichigo muttered with a deadpanned expression, "Now Ichigo don't be mad," she said with a slight, nervous laugh, he stared at her for a moment, eye twitching, "Mad? Oh Rukia don't be silly, I'm not MAD.... I'm HORRIFIED," he replied, she frowned at him, "Ichigo stop being a nuisence," "I'M being a nuisence?! YOU are the one who brought a PIG into the house!" "Well what was I supposed to do Ichigo? He was outside pawing at the door when I came home all cold and hungry...." "Leave him there? And he wasn't 'cold and hungry' he's fat and it's still early fall!" he replied, she stared for a moment, "But Ichigo! We can't just leave him all alone to suffer in the world!" "'All alone to suffer'....? Rukia you have GOT to be kidding me...." he muttered unbelievably, "I mean a dog is one thing, a cat is one thing, a kid is one thing but I DRAW the line at LIVESTOCK," he replied, she huffed, "He is NOT 'livestock' Ichigo, pot-bellied pigs HAPPEN to make EXCELLENT pets," she replied, "Oh please Rukia!" "It's true! They're not just cute and cuddly, but they're smart too, he already knows his name!" "Oh for the love of-" "Come here Bubblegum!" she called with a wistle, sure enough the big, pink, pig sitting at Ichigo's feet waddled over to Rukia and oinked at her, she happily bent over and picked him up with a grunt, "S-See? He's-ugh- so smart-oof- isn't he?" she huffed, "Rukia that pig is bigger than you are... put him down...." she immediatly set the pig back on the floor, "Bubblegum Rukia? REALLY? BUBBLEGUM? That should be reason enough to release him in the wild, that name would just make all the other pigs laugh at him," she huffed, "Bubblegum is a perfectly clever name I'll have you know..." "Rukia, you have a problum enough with cleaning up after dogs, cats and kids, don't you think a pig would only worsen your problums?" she huffed, "PLEASE, pigs HAPPEN to be extremely clean you know, they eat vegtables and can't sweat so they only roll in mud to cool off wich won't be a problum with air conditioning and cool baths, AND they use litter boxes!" she said with a smirk, he shook his head slowly, "I don't care Rukia, we're not keeping a pig, end of story," she huffed, "Then what can we do!? I don't want him to be getting hurt in Rukon and you don't want him to get loose in the city again and make you look like more of a moron than you really are, so we need some kind of compromise," Ichigo thought about that for a moment and smirked, "You know something Rukia? I think I have a compromise for you,"

----Three Hours Later----

"Byakuya! I'm taking the little one out to see Rukia's kids; will you feed the fish?" Hisanna called, "Yes," he replied simply, walking out of the room and onto the porch..... where he found a pig sitting, waiting on him with a bow around his neck, he oinked once and Byakuya slowly removed the bow, reading the attatched note: "Have fun with your new pet! P.S. If this pig becomes bacon you're dead meat" Byakuya's eye started to twitch and the pig walked into the house as if it were already his own
