Prequel Chapter 2
Just after the defeat of Menos Grande
Ichigo sat back up with a groan. Opening his eyes, he jolted back with a cry. "Stop doing that!" he yelled at Rukia, who was hovering right over him. With the additional range added to his view, he noticed that her hovering was more literal than figurative. Nor was that the only thing wrong. "Uh, Rukia? What happened to you?"
"Why do you ask?" she muttered demurely, blinking her large, luminous purple eyes at him. "Could it be … Oh! The fact that … I don't have a BODY, anymore, Kurosaki?!" she finished, screaming. She was right, too. Rukia Kuchiki was just a floating head, with flowing purple hair that matched her eyes, and nothing else.
"Could be worse," they both heard from nearby. "At least we can still tell you're you," said a large black and red dog with a skull headdress.
"U … Uryu?" both returned, recognizing the voice.
"Apparently." At Ichigo's snicker, he growled "Don't get too snide, Kurosaki. You haven't looked in a mirror, yet."
"I'm almost afraid to ask what I look like, then," they heard Chad rumble from behind Uryu. A grey humanoid with muscular arms and Chad's perpetually-squinting brow stood back up from where he'd fainted when the energy wave hit them. Next to him was a pink egg-shaped creature with large, expressive, familiar blue eyes, and Orihime's two star barrettes at its temples.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me!" Ichigo cried, recognizing the creatures from his little sister's video games. He slumped back down, random sounds somewhere between cursing, crying, coughing and laughing erupting from him at intervals.
"WHAT?" the others all roared at him when he showed no signs of coming out of it. With a sigh, he sat back up, and eyed them all from under his own skull-hat. Unlike Uryu, he was a large light-brown rodent of surprisingly athletic build.
"Guys and girls? We … I can't believe I'm saying this," he interrupted himself, murmuring. "We're Poke'mon!"
