Rukia climbed up the stairs to her bedroom, with a tray of breakfast in her hands. Once she entered her bedroom, she called, "Ichigo!" He didn't answer her call, and she swung open the door to her closet. No one was inside. Where is he? she wondered. Oh, well. Whatever. Rukia shrugged, and sat down on her bed to eat the breakfast herself.
Ichigo stood outside a building with a sign that read, "Urahara Shop." Ichigo looked pretty annoyed. "Hey! Anyone in here?!" he yelled.
Two children soon opened the door. There was one boy with red hair, and a girl with black hair tied up into two ponytails. The boy glared at Ichigo and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Ichigo muttered, "What a way to treat your customer…"
The girl, Ururu, apologized softly, "Sorry! Sorry!"
But the boy, Jinta, just rolled his eyes. He reluctantly let Ichigo into the shop. Once inside, a buff, tall man named Tessai welcomed Ichigo warmly. Stepping out from a hallway, Urahara grins from beneath his green and white striped hat.
"Welcome, Ichigo!" Urahara said cheerfully.
"Did my order come in?" asked Ichigo.
"Yes, I believe!" Urahara turned to Ururu. "Could you go get it?" Ururu nodded obediently, and then scurried off to retrieve the order.
Within moments, Ururu brought an item wrapped up in paper. Ichigo nodded, and said, "Thanks." Urahara waved a good-bye as Ichigo left the shop.
At school, Rukia sat at her desk, drumming her fingers on her arm absentmindedly. "Whoa!" She was taken by surprise as Ichigo grabbed her arm, dragging her forceably to the hallway. "Geez!" Rukia shouted. "You could be a bit more gentle!"
Ichigo decided to ignore Rukia, and instead, he shoved something that looks sort of like a candy-dispenser in his face. Down the side, it read, "Soul Candy."
"What is this?" Rukia asked.
"It's Soul Candy. When you eat it, an artificial soul will take your place, and then you will turn into a shinigami," Ichigo explained. "Try it!"
Rukia pressed the top of the candy dispenser, and as she swallowed the candy that fell into her mouth, she felt her own soul get pushed out of her body, and then, she was standing in her shinigami attire. Wow, she thought in awe. Her real body was now the home of a modified soul. Not an artificial soul, but a modified soul. The mod soul looked around, confused as to her surroundings and the body she was in. Rukia asked Ichigo, "Are you sure this is okay…?"
Ichigo replied, "Yeah, yeah! Let's go. There are hollows to kill!" He dragged the shinigami out of the school hurriedly, leaving the mod soul behind.
"What…?" the mod soul murmured. She looked around, and then touched her head. She felt Rukia's hair. "Is this…my hair? Where am I?"
"Kuchiki-san!" Orihime called out as she exited the classroom with Tatsuki. "Let's eat lunch!"
"Ah!" the mod soul screamed, not knowing these people. Who the hell are these girls?! she wondered. Then, as students started pouring out of the classroom, heading outside for lunch, the mod soul screamed again: "Ahh!"
"Rukia? Are you okay?" Tatsuki asked, her face showing concern.
Keigo and Mizuiro both cocked an eyebrow questioningly. "What are you screaming about?" Mizuiro asked.
"Ahh!" the mod soul screamed again. Her face was contorted in an almost insane expression, and she pointed at Keigo and Mizuiro. She screamed, "Perverts! You're all perverts!" Then, she turned on Orihime and Tatsuki, and accused, "You're all perverts!" She pointed at Orihime and Tatsuki too. "Don't come near me!" The mod soul leaped up and down, to incredible heights, and flailed and waved her arm in a spazzing manner. "Don't come near me! Please! Ahh!"
"What the…?!" Tatsuki was shocked. This was not like Rukia. At all. "How can you call Orihime a pervert?!" Tatsuki demanded a bit angrily, as her shock subsided.
"I can, because I can!" the mod soul wailed. "She asked me to lunch! Gah! Perverts! You're all perverts!" It was quite a sight to see. The mod soul was in Rukia's body, so it looked as if Kuchiki Rukia, sister of Byakuya, was spazzing out in total paranoia. Paranoia of perverts, that is. She was leaped up and down, and screaming, and appeared somewhat as having a seizure. She jumped so high that her head touched the ceiling of the school. "Pervert! Pervert! Pervert!" The modified soul kept pointing her index finger at Orihime, swinging her arm up and down, but in Orihime's general direction. "Rukia" ran back into the classroom at superb speed, and then leaped right over the teacher's head, landing behind the teacher. The teacher gaped for a moment, and then fainted!
"That's it!" Tatsuki said angrily as she stalked into the classroom. "Orihime is not a pervert!"
Rukia had slain a hollow, and then another hollow. She had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach that something was terribly wrong. "We have to get back to school!" she said as she sheathed her zanpakuto.
"What?" Ichigo didn't sense anything wrong, but he hurriedly ran to catch up to Rukia, who was headed back towards school. As the school came into view, Rukia leapt up towards the window of the classroom. The class was awfully noisy, and even though it was lunchtime, everyone was back in the classroom.
All of a sudden, a desk started flying out the window. "What?!" Rukia gasped, dodging he desk nimbly. Then, a chair came flying out, and Ichigo barely escaped. Rukia and Ichigo hurriedly entered the classroom. Part of the class was in shock, debating whether or not Rukia went insane, and another part of the class was cheering for Tatsuki, whom was chucking various furnishings at Rukia.
The real Rukia had no idea what was going on. She stared in horror as she watched the artificial soul, in her body, jumping up and down, weeping, and pointing to everyone in the classroom, screaming one word: "Pervert!"
Rukia, the real one, yelled, "Get out of my body, now!"
"No! Noooo!" the mod soul bawled. "You pervert! I will never let you have this body back! Pervert!"
"What?!" Now, Rukia was angry. The mod soul sobbed, tears streaming out of her eyes and down her cheeks, and then jumped out of the classroom window, landing safely on her feet. "Stop!" Rukia hollered.
Ichigo slapped his forehead with his palm, and concluded, "That artificial soul must have been a mod soul…"
Rukia heard Ichigo, but didn't say anything. Instead, she just jumped out of the window, chasing down her body. Ichigo sighed, and followed Rukia close behind.
