Toushiro sat on a tall building looking at his Kikanshinki see he was almost out. He sighs and held out his hand seeing it move un-naturally. He stood up going to the one person that could help him. Later that morning Ichigo went to bring Toushiro his breakfast but only to discover he wasn't in the closet. Ichigo went to school hoping to see Toushiro was there but he wasn't. 'I wonder where he could be!' he thought looking at the empty desk next to his.

Meanwhile Toushiro walk up to Urahara Shop seeing two children in front of it. The red head boy was pushing a broom on the black head girl head. Toushiro took the broom away. "Is Urahara in?"

"Yes, please follow me." The young girl said. When they enter the shop a large man name Tessai question them but seeing Toushiro he greeted him hole welcome. Kisuke came out and greeted everyone and dealt with Toushiro order. Ururu went to get Toushiro special order. He took and payed for his things and left. "Boss, can you really trust that boy? He could be working with Aizen. Knowing the father of the boy." Tessai question. "Hmm…at first no but since his no longer 'close' off. Thanks to this baby." Kisuke said holding an empty bottle. The children look at questionably but Kisuke put away.

Third period came when Toushiro finally showed up. "Good morning everyone." Toushiro said giving the aura of innocent. "Where you been its third period already." Mizuro said. Toushiro look at him. "I had some business at home. By the way Ichigo do you have a moment?" Toushiro said look at the carrot head. Ichigo look irritated at Toushiro for having shown up late and said to him a little bored like. "What is it? If you need to talk, then why not here." Toushiro not losing his mask but felt his left eye twitched. He bundles his fist and punched Ichigo hard in the stomach. He processes to grab Ichigo by the back of his collar and drag the giant out before anyone can question him. The people in the classroom could not believe their eyes.

"Here!" Toushiro toss Ichigo a candy dispenser that was shape like a duck. "What this?"

"Gikongan. A pill that forcibly pulls the spirit from the body." Toushiro said explain he bought because of yesterday incent. He explains what the gikongan does as well. "Why does it looks like a duck and it said says soul candy on the side." Toushiro rub his head saying it was the Shinigami Women Association idea and just swallow the pill. Ichigo did as he was told and watch his body separate form him. "I really did come out!" he said surprise.

"Surprised? Also now the temporary soul now in your body lets watch and see." They watch Ichigo body get up and face them. Both boys got a bad feeling as the soul talk but an order came in and Toushiro cannot ignore it. He would deal with the temporary soul later; he then drags Ichigo off the Hollow. Unknown to them the temporary soul started causing trouble. The hollow was quickly dealt with; they rush back to school. Once they were close they saw a desk crash out the window follow by a scream.

Toushiro told Ichigo to wait by the window in case the soul tried to escape while he goes throw the door. Toushiro rush to the classroom to see Tatsuki very piss off at the soul in Ichigo body. He moves forward and grab the soul in Ichigo body arm. "That's enough! Now come with me right now." He said with authored of a captain. The temporary soul being the stronger one at the moment was able to get lose from the weaken captain and ran to the window. "Ichigo he coming your way." Ichigo block the window. "Now there's nowhere to…run…" He said as the soul jump over him out the window and run away. "Could he be…yes there's no doubt about it. He is a mod-soul." Toushiro mumble out.

Ichigo and Toushiro ran after the mod soul. Leaving the class with a demon Tatsuki. The boys end up losing the mod-soul. Ichigo start to wine about the mod-soul using his body kissing girls and ruin his reputation. Toushiro didn't find it all troubling since he never cared much about status or reputation as long he knows who can really trust and try not to love anyone romantically again, he looked away from Ichigo on the last thought. "You called him a 'mod-soul' didn't you?" Ichigo ask after calming down. "What is that?"

Toushiro turn to face him, his eyes narrow and explain the Soul Society made them and their use but in the end Central 46 order them to destroyed. "Hold on. That means what? He was created for the convenience of your Soul Society and he'll be killed for Soul Society convenience too?"

"…Yeah basically."

"You're alright with that?"

"Being satisfied or not with the ways of Soul Society is run is not revenant. My opinions never matter there are things that cannot be change." Toushiro finish softly unconditionally reaching up to touch his scar. Ichigo narrow his eyes at Toushiro display wonder what that was about. "The mod-souls must be destroyed. That's the rule of Soul Society and don't forget this rules are created to protect you humans." He strongly said but his eyes told another story of sadness. Toushiro turn around a walk away to continue to look ending their conversation. While running Ichigo thought about what the mod-soul must be feeling and he look quickly at Toushiro wanting to know more about him.

They found the mood-soul at a middle school about to attack some kids but Ichigo step in time. He pushes the mod-soul back. The mod-soul attack throwing punches and hard kicks, but Ichigo quickly dodge them. "If I stay clam I can easily read your moves!" he said dunking down when a kick aim for his head. He continues to block the kicks. Ichigo grab his body left it in the air and throw it. The mod-soul landed in front Toushiro. Before he could do anything it jump away running. "COME BACK!"

"WAIT, ICHIGO! We have an order!" Toushiro called looking at the phone. "What?! At a time like this?!"

"A Hollow is about to appear! It's near!"

"OH, DAMN!" he yelled look in the direction of his body took off. "Let's go!" Toushiro called heading in the direction of the Hollow, with Ichigo following. As they ran the phone suddenly died. "What's wrong?"

"My soul pager stop working. Without it I cannot locate the Hollow. Damn it." Toushiro tried to fix it but nothing. They started running around the area trying to find it. "I see it! Wait…someone's already fighting it…" Ichigo eyes widen and took off leaving Toushiro behind. "Ichigo!" he yelled frustrated from being left behind.

The mod-soul stare down the Hollow even though he was injury by it but he refuses to give up. The Hollow aim to hit the mod-soul in his chest. Ichigo cut the arm before it could hit his body. Ichigo grab his shirt bring the mod-soul close to his face angrily. "YOU'RE INJURED! WHOSE BODY DO YOU THINK THIS IS!? If you're gonna get hurt fighting trash like this, then DON'T JUMP IN!" He yelled while turning to attack the charging Hollow. "What are you talking about? I'm fighting because you took so long to arrive! If I hadn't fought…These kids would have…" the mod-soul started but the Hollow lunge at them claim it eat them. The mod-soul stop it with a kick and Ichigo cut the mask. Both exclaim "SHUT UP!" while doing so.

The Hollow fell back, going to fall off the roof but the mod-soul ran up to it kicking up. By doing so he was the one going over the building. Ichigo move to catch his foot. Ichigo yelled at him but notice a teacher and some kids. Once they both on safely on the roof looking at city. The mod-soul explain to Ichigo what he felt about the order to be killed and how lucky he was to get away and the fear of being discovered. He wanted a chance to live and die freely. Before Ichigo can respond to him Kisuke Urahara and his gang showed up taking the mod-soul out of Ichigo's body. "What a minute! What are you going to do with that?"

Kisuke look back at Ichigo. "Do with it? Destroy it of course."

"You can see me? Who are you guys?"

"Well how can I answer tha— "A phone hitting the side of his head cut him off. Toushiro took the mod-soul out of his hand. "Damn greet merchant that what he is. I take this and fix that faulty phone." Urahara tried to reason with the white hair boy but he stated he was satisfied with his order as long as his phone was fix. Urahara turn serious addressing the young captain. "We're not responsible then? If trouble comes, we'll play dumb you know."

"Don't worry. You and I both know if trouble comes their focus would be on me. Adding another thing to the list isn't going change what I done." Toushiro keep this cool but inside he was more than worry if someone from Soul Society did show up to find out he gave his powers to a human. He took a deep breath, he was ready to deal with the punishment and he would keep Ichigo safe not letting him get killed for his crime. The children and Ichigo were confuse at Toushiro statement. Kisuke and Tessai both understood what would happen to young captain if someone did find out about Ichigo. Kisuke look down at the phone and found some wires were broken and needed to be repair.

Toushiro went up to Ichigo dropping the pill in his hand told him to get in this body so he can heal him. Tessai took the kids home as Kisuke stay to fix Toushiro phone. Toushiro force Ichigo to his knees so it be easier to heal him. Ichigo grumble about being man handle with Toushiro rolling his eyes. After everything's was done they left to their homes. On their way home Ichigo complain about his shoulder. Ichigo pulled the mod-soul out yelling at it. "Ichigo stop. People would think you're crazy."

Ichigo turn and saw a toy lion a got an idea. "Do you think if I put him in that it works."

"Don't be silly it only if there is a dead body…But then again I'm not in a real body…Give it a try." Ichigo put the pill in the mouth but nothing happens at first. "Humph nothing happens."

"Oh well it was worth a shot. Let's go."

"Yeah." Ichigo started spinning the toy lion by his arm. "Ow that hurts! Idiot!" Kon punch him in the face. The boys were in shock see the toy lion walking a jumping around. An evil smirk came over Ichigo as he attacks the defenseless lion for pay back. Once Ichigo was satisfied from torching the toy lion they continue home. Once they got home the boys change in their sleep wear and Toushiro continue heal Ichigo see it was still bugging him. Ichigo watch Toushiro heal his shoulder decided to ask what was bugging him early conversation from the merchant and the captain.

"Toushiro." Ichigo said grabbing his hand stopping him. Toushiro look up at him confuse. "Can I ask you about earlier."

"What about?"

"You said 'adding another thing to the list isn't going change what I done' what do you mean. Did you do something against the law or something." Toushiro did say anything. What can he say to Ichigo that if Soul Society found out he gave Ichigo his power they both be executed for it. Ichigo was an innocent boy who had bright future but it seems like he already ruin it. "Don't worry about it. I most likely be given a few days in the brig and cleaning the court yard or something. Though better kept the lion hidden so that does happen."

Kon turn to look at them. "Don't worry. I keep quiet and hidden for you. See you save my life I listen to you always." Kon said with passion. Ichigo didn't look convince but what does he know about Soul Society. 'I'm sorry I had to lie to you both…but for your safety…I would die for you.' Toushiro thought watching Ichigo and Kon argue again.
