The Lost Shinigami

by makoto x chelia

Takumi Urahara, believing himself to be a human who could see spirits yet with no real powers within the crazy world of Shinigami's, and Hollows, went through life trying his best with what little he had to work with, but that changed when he met a certain Shinigami, the same for Karin and Yuzu Kurosaki, and their adventure began, digging into his past, to fight for the future.

6. Mod-Soul blues

Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

Clarent excalibur; Yeah, Takumi's surely like his Dad, he uses his intelligence to outwit stronger opponents, and when he releases his Zanpakuto, we'll see him combine that with his intellect, and gadgets, and series of drugs, and what not that he has. Thanks for the vote! Yeah, Giselle would be more calm about it, she'd be pissed of course, but she wouldn't lose her stuff with him. She is yeah, Karin will have her powers quite soon. Yeah, it would be funny if she was like that~ Yeah, Giselle might play a part of that. Bambietta would be the choice, since she has already said she hates Shinigami, even more now. I could see that! Yeah, Nemu's appeared! She and Takumi will have some fun interactions. Yeah, right now she just likes him, she's a little attracted to him, but she hasn't fallen for him yet. I've got an emotional moment for when Rukia is going to fall for Takumi.

Oblivious IJ; Yeah, Nemu's quite awesome huh~? Yeah, Ichigo's not in the story the same with Chad, Karin's taking his place when it comes to powers and what not. Yammy's the 0 Espada though.

Miraculous Psychic Hero 100; Thanks very much! Yup, Nemu's gonna join in soon! He surely is quite strategic, we'll see more of that in the future. Rukia blushing is quite cute huh~? I quite like Rukia. I thought about doing that, then I thought Takumi probably wouldn't provoke her more than he had done already on mistake.

Dark King Marcel; Thanks very much! Yeah, he'll be unleashing his Zanpakuto quite soon. Yeah he could do~

Crenin; Yeah, they wouldn't send Giselle, Giselle would just join them like Uryu kinda does in canon, where he works with Ichigo and what not, Giselle would just do the same thing. Yuzu's gonna show quite good potential, and will have some cool fights in the future.

ShadowUzumaki55; Thanks! Yeah, he managed to outwit them~ They are yeah, they're growing quite strong together~ She's going to be going through her own journey here yeah, and yeah, she is kinda like that huh~? Nemu's appeared! And yeah, that Hollow's gonna play a major role soon enough~

Ragna; Thanks for the votes!

Guest 1; Seeing into peoples minds is fine, seeing the future would just be the same as Yhwach though. And yeah, I can see lol~

Guest 2; Thanks for the votes! Yeah, Nemu and Takumi's interactions are going to be quite fun~ Sure, that would be pretty cool~

Guest 3; Probably yeah~ Dunno when though.

Guest 4; Thanks for the votes! And yeah, Bambi's gonna be going through things in this arc~ Yeah, Takumi, Rukia and Orihime aren't going to be dealing with Grand Fisher, that's for the Kurosaki twins and Giselle, Takumi and the others will be dealing with something else. Yeah, he could die there and you're right, he doesn't do anything other than Isshin owning him anyway~ She could do yeah, that sounds pretty cool to me!

Guest 5; Orihime's powers with what the limits are hard to define, the explanation of her powers is fine, it's just how they were used in the manga/anime as it seemed contradictory in similar situations where they worked for one, and yet it didn't for another, it just seems to be convenient to the plot when they could've been used to service the plot and have defined limits. In this story, I'm gonna do my best to define the limits of her powers more like if she restores someones arm, it drains her energy noticeably, and if she tries to resurrect the dead like she did with Menoly then it drains her quite a lot and could only do it once a day or something and a time limit to when she can resurrect someone, show growth of her powers so she can use her powers faster, against stronger enemies, and give her some more unique ways to use them. Also, in this story, Orihime's gonna be doing quite a bit more than she did in canon, we'll even see a tag battle with Takumi and Orihime vs a certain someone in the future where she and Takumi will be working side by side as partners, plus I've seen that she's listed as a Fullbringer in certain places, so she'll be a Fullbringer here, and with that, allowing her to use Bringerlight to move faster and what not.

Guest 6; My favourite movie is probably the Hell Verse with Memories of Nobody being a close second, though I like all of the movies, even my least favourite is a movie I like a whole lot.

Guest 7; Yeah, I could address that and say that as it wasn't ever stated in the series, it sounds good to me~

Guest 8; My favourite character, that's a hard question, and it took me a while to come to the conclusion but I'd say it's probably is Kisuke. Though I like most of the characters in Bleach.

Guest 9; Yeah, they could be~

Guest 10; Perhaps, I haven't decided yet.

Guest 11; Sure, Nel could save Tier, it would be cool~

Guest 12; I might have Yushiro appear earlier, and yeah, that would be cool and funny~

A fan; Mayuri isn't my least favourite, his actions are horrible yeah, what he does to Nemu, and what he did with the Quincy and what not, the author probably kept him around to show that the Shinigami aren't all duty bound and honour like Komamura and Yamamoto is and how questionable it can be, plus I believe that I read somewhere that Mayuri is one of the author of Bleach's favourite characters so that might be a reason too. My least favourite character is quite hard to define, I don't really know who I dislike the least, it would be a toss between Yhwach, or Tsukishima.

Reviewer Requiem; I've heard of it before, and haven't checked it out yet, but it looks like a fun anime so I'll probably check it out. When I do, I'll see if I'll do a story on it or not~

Skull Flame; No, not yet. She did yeah, Liltotto was shown to be quite intelligent so she knows when and when not to anger people. It seems that she does yeah~ He is yeah, Shrieker is gone now. It seems so, that Hollow will become important in the near future. Thanks for the vote. Yeah, Chad's not in the story, mentioned a few chapters back. She is yeah, Karin's on her way to becoming strong! Kisuke knows what he's doing, and how Takumi will need support in the future.

Guest 13; Yeah, that would be quite nice for their child. That would be quite funny, seeing the duel sides of their kid doing that. That's Launch for you, she's very trigger happy when she's blonde. Sure, that would be quite nice~ Sure, that would be a nice moment from Vegeta, and what not. That sounds great to me! Sure, 17 was just kinda forgotten about until Super anyway so I don't see why not. That would be quite funny, thanks for the suggestions!

Any of one; Yeah, I'm thinking about it~ Yeah, it could be for that as well~

Silver crow; Thanks very much! Yeah, he's trying his best for her. Hehe, yeah they have quite the fun conversations with themselves huh~? He does yeah, there's more of a deeper reason why he knows about that, as we'll see more in the future. Yeah, Takumi mentioned about that, and also said that he was sad that it couldn't be resolved peacefully. She surely will, yeah Yuzu will also get her powers soon. Yeah, he bonded with the twins a little more~ Yeah, poor Isshin. They did yeah, the twins saved Yuichi. Yeah, Takumi didn't want to piss off Bambietta, he's like his Dad and he will say things like that, but knows his limits as well. Giselle is quite the fun character to write for. Yeah, they watched to see if he'd be in danger, and once seeing that he wasn't, they watched happily. Nemu's appeared! She'll be appearing more quite soon! Indeed, more Giselle can't hurt~ Indeed, I can understand why as their arc in canon wasn't great in most eyes from what I've seen, I quite like it and where it could have gone, and I like the idea of their powers working from Hollow power, and an object they're got an affinity to. He could be a Vizard in that case like Shinji and the others, or more like Tosen with both a Bankai, and Resurrection, I might have Karin have that aspect. She could be, but I wouldn't know what kind of powers Tatsuki would have. I don't think it would matter either way, Yhwach wasn't a traditional Sternritter so that's probably why there were two A's and with Uryu being his successor and all, though Yhwach's A power is...very broken, it should of just been A the Auswahlen as that power already is powerful, or not have The Almighty as he didn't need the see the future and future manipulation power he was already very powerful, and expect changes for when we get there to make Yhwach a more believable beatable Villain while still very menacing and powerful that poses a genuine threat, and not one that they can't hope to beat believably. They can be afraid of Hiyori, they probably wouldn't fear Takumi, they'd probably respect that he's so different to Mayuri. Kenpachi could say things like that. Sure, he could be like that with the Central 46. She has green hair yeah. I suppose yeah. It surely would be cool yeah~ Sure those sound pretty cool. He could frequently be invited~ I suppose he could be. Takumi could have some businesses going sure. Sounds great!

SomeDudeThatReads; Yeah, Giselle would bring some unique things to the fights that Uryu was in since she is The Zombie and all~ Thanks for letting me know!

Andrew123456; No, I'm not sick of it at all, and thanks for the vote~ Yeah, I've heard of it but thanks for letting me know~

Guest 14; Thanks for the vote, and I suppose they would.

Guest 15; Thanks for the vote! Sure, that could be some good character growth for Bambietta.

Guest 16; Sure, that could be interesting~

Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!

Mod-Soul blues

Bambietta, Meninas, and Candice looked annoyed with how they had lost the fight. Giselle and Liltotto looked on curiously, seeing Candice growing more and more angry than before.

"I told you that you shouldn't attack the Shinigami." Liltotto spoke up, while drinking some cola. "As you saw, you lost to Takumi Urahara, despite having the upper hand, we need to just take this opportunity and stop the fight."

"Totally, we shouldn't try and fight them. Lets just leave them alone."

Liltotto saw Giselle's happy demeanour dip for a small little time.

"You okay Gigi?"

Giselle did a hand stand, and stuck out her tongue childlike.

"I'm totally fine, don't worry about me."

Liltotto didn't believe her exactly, she was sure that she was still in pain about what happened with Masaki. Meninas on the other hand, looked down at herself, and then towards the others at what had happened.

"We really had been through quite the fight. I was surprised that someone that hadn't released Shikai could fight us off so well. I know we've not had our powers for all that long, but it was quite amazing to see such things."

Bambietta scrunched up her eyebrows.

"You're not wrong. I definitely did underestimate him. I didn't think he'd be able to take on all three of us, we have to continue training with our powers. If we can grow in strength, then we might be able to win this fight."

"Again, we really shouldn't do that though."

Liltotto's voice was overshadowed by Candice's voice.

"I can't believe that we had to deal with something like this! He fought us and managed to get in some good shots! Can you believe it?! And when I shocked the damn fool, nothing even happened! I couldn't even use my power to hurt him!"

Candice couldn't stop her thoughts running wild. She was surprisingly angry by what happened. Bambietta on the other hand wanted to get even for what had happened, tightening her hand angrily.

"We had lost. But we can still get the upper hand on him, and beat him..."

"What are you talking about?"

Liltotto demanded from Bambietta, who stretched her arms outwards.

"We have to strike while the iron is hot. Don't you see? They'll never see it coming. If we leave them to become more comfortable, then they'll be able to devise ways to beat us again. That's going to end with us losing. So, the next opportunity that we can get, we should strike them down with our powers."

Candice, Meninas, Liltotto and Giselle all looked reluctant.

"We shouldn't go so recklessly. We just lost our fight, if we go towards them now, then we'll lose, right?"

Meninas thought that would be true.

But Bambietta tightened her hands.

"Come on! He's going to be out for us now! We have to stop him before he can achieve Shikai! If he does, then he will be even more dangerous. We lost, it's true. But we can overcome this, and defeat our enemy."

Still, Meninas and Candice looked reluctant to say anything about it.

Liltotto and Giselle already were against it anyway, so they weren't happy with Bambietta trying to enact her revenge for this long.

Bambietta's eyes narrowed at all of them, and faced out of the window.

"Fine, I'll do it myself. I'll find an opportunity for me to do it, then I'll end them all together. The Shinigami wont know what's hit them. Especially when it comes to that Takumi. He will suffer like no other! Count on it!"

Bambietta made that declaration.

She was sure she was ready to do what was necessary to stop this.

---

Takumi currently was within his own private lab, and seemed to have some kind of devices before him, and it seemed that he was mixing chemicals together along with a bag of marbles being nearby, though they seemed a little bit weird.

The door behind him opened, revealing Rukia walking into the room. Wordlessly, she walked inside, peering over Takumi's shoulder.

"What's that anyway?"

Takumi gained a smile.

"These are something that we might need for the future, that's all. You said that we need to be prepared against Bambi-chan and the others, so I've made some marbles to help us out with that, though it is a rush job since we don't know when she'll strike again."

Rukia's curiosity had been raised.

"I see, I'm glad you're taking this seriously." Rukia watched as Takumi cracked his neck side to side. "Anyway, with these enemies out here, the Quincy girls, I thought about you learning how to use your Shikai. Considering that we've been gaining stronger enemies, if you knew Shikai then it would be easier for us to win fights."

"Yeah, I was thinking about Shikai as well. I have to..."

"Jinzen." Rukia spoke, taking his Zanpakuto, and laid it across his lap. "Close your eyes, and connect to your Zanpakuto. To make sure that you gain the connection with the Zanpakuto, being as close to it as possible is for the best."

"Right, I understand. I'll do my best!"

"Yes. Though it is a process, perhaps today you'll be lucky to do it."

"I hope so, it didn't work last time so..."

Rukia furrowed her eyebrows.

"Yes, it does take time to do that, so it makes sense that you haven't yet. But, you've got time, and your sword will respond eventually. Just allow all other thoughts to leave your mind."

Rukia gained a soft smile, as he closed his eyes.

Concentrating on the sword, concentrating on what he would need to do.

Connecting to the power of the sword, and the power of himself.

To achieve a new power, to give himself the power of Shikai…

---

"Hello there."

Takumi's eyes shot open, and before him, he found himself in a new place.

He looked around, and saw that the area looked like a giant town, but it was scientific. It looked like it was from the future. Sparkles of lightning were erupting around them, streams of water swam through the sky. He himself was stood on the ground level, seeing many different objects going by his body, and saw that lightning and thunder were booming within the area.

His eyes then focused before him, seeing that there was a girl there.

She was quite beautiful.

Her hair was golden, long. It went down her back, and reached her lower back. She wore a cute kimono with intricate designs of bolts of lightning in various places on the kimono. Even her hair looked to be zigzagged like lightning bolts sailing through the air. She had a curvy figure, she had even bigger breasts than Orihime, which surprised him immensely, and caused him to blush slightly. Her eyes were golden yellow like her hair, and her lips had some red lipstick on.

In his eyes, she looked like a Princess, or a Queen.

She looked very regal.

And that in of itself also made him smile lightly at the sight of the young girl.

She even appeared to be around his age, maybe a little older.

"W-Wow, are you my Zanpakuto spirit?"

"That's right, that's me." The girl strolled over to Takumi, allowing her hand to slide onto his chest. "Hehe, it's been so long. I thought you might have forgotten about me."

"So long…? I've not been a Shinigami for that long. And I'm pretty sure I'd never forget someone like you."

The girls eyes slitted slightly.

"I see...well, it's great to see you!" Her hand slowly slid across his body, and then up his chest, going to his chin, flipping off his chin. "Now, what have you come here for exactly? Did you just come to see me?"

"I did yeah. I want to learn about my Shikai, and how to use it. So, I'd like to know your name, please!"

At that, the girl paused.

Her eyes went lower to the ground.

"My name…? You want my name?"

"Yes, that's how it works, right? Rukia-chan and my Father said that I should communicate with you, so we can get to know one another, and I'd learn your name. Can't I know you?"

The girls eyes went towards a large building, then she walked over towards it.

Her hand touched the building, and then Takumi saw that lightning was travelling through the building, and concentrated in her hands, pointing her hand towards Takumi's body, who grimaced at the sight.

"Ooh God, you're not Candice-san, are you? I just dealt with someone that can control lightning-"

"I am your Zanpakuto spirit. You want to know my name? You show me something satisfying. You satisfy me, and tell you my name. But if you can't, then I wont say my name to you at all."

"I thought that Zanpakuto spirits wanted to get to know their Shinigami?"

"It's true. But, I'm also pushing you to grow even stronger. I want to challenge you, to see if you're worthy of knowing my name. Don't get me wrong, I do really like you, I just want to see your motivations, I want to see more about what your goals in life are, I want to know more about you as a person. Then, if you manage to get me satisfied, then I'll allow you to know my name, is that alright with you?"

Takumi furrowed his eyebrows.

The fact that she even said that clued him in that she knew him quite well.

She wanted to know who he was as a person, his goals and his desires before giving her power to him. That was something Takumi truly could understand, something he truly appreciated from her, something that he definitely loved about his Zanpakuto spirit.

Then he stopped when he saw a small light coming from the far off distance.

A bluish light.

It looked beautiful.

Inviting.

Warmth, protection...

Love.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning stopped his progress, which came from the young woman.

"Hey, why are you stopping me?"

"Don't go that way, it's not for you to see right now."

"But, why? What is it?"

Takumi wondered, the radiant light that made his heart feel warm.

"It's something that's been with you for a long time." The girls eyes shot towards the right, seeing a darkened shadow peering out towards Takumi from behind a building. It's eyes hovered on his form, ready to pounce. "There's things within this world that could also harm you, Takumi. You need to be careful."

Takumi didn't get why he would have to be careful.

"Be careful? But this is just my inner world, right? It isn't supposed to be dangerous, is it?"

"There's things here that are dangerous Takumi. But don't worry, stay with me, and I'll keep you safe. I've been doing it my entire existence after all. Since we're the best partners ever~ In fighting and other things too~ Now, prepare for when we duel. We wont do it now, but in the near future, I'll fight you, and we'll allow our hearts to blend. Now, goodbye my Takumi~"

She winked, and was encased in lightning that shot from the sky, rupturing the ground, disappearing in a flash.

---

"Aaaah!"

Takumi's eyes shot open, Rukia pulled forward in concern.

"Takumi? Is something wrong? What happened?"

Rukia spoke with concern, Takumi furrowed his eyebrows, looking towards her.

"I...met my Zanpakuto spirit."

"You did? That's great, then what's the name of the spirit?"

"I don't know."

Rukia found that suspicious.

"It didn't tell you?"

"No, she didn't say. She said that if I wanted to know, I'd have to face her for the information I want."

"That's strange...but, if that's what your Zanpakuto wants...I guess that's what you're going to have to do."

"Yeah, I guess so. Also, while I was there...it was weird, there was a strange blue light there."

Rukia cocked an eyebrow upwards.

"A blue light huh."

"That's right, a blue light, and my Zanpakuto wouldn't let me near it. She also said that it was dangerous within my inner world. Is that supposed to be normal?"

Rukia furrowed her eyebrows.

"No...I haven't heard of such things...but, to be on the safe side, if you go into your inner world, be around someone that can snap you out of it if something happens. Like me or your Father or something."

Takumi nodded.

"Yeah, that's a wise precaution." Takumi stretched his arms upwards. "Well, it's been quite the day. I suppose I'm going to get to bed. What about you Rukia-chan?"

"Yes, I think I will as well."

Takumi and Rukia stood up, walking away together to get some rest.

---

It was a normal day within the school, and the others were happily chatting away about random things. Since there wasn't anything pressing, besides the Quincy girls, though Takumi was sure that he'd be able to handle them as he was training to deal with those kind of opponents.

"Taku-chan, can I ask you something?"

Takumi glanced at Orihime, and then grinned.

"Of course, what do you want to ask?"

"Yes, do you prefer dogs, or cats?"

"Dogs or cats? Why?"

Orihime gained a soft smile.

"I-I just thought that maybe we could get an animal together one day...s-so I was wondering what you preferred...?"

"Eh...erm...I don't know, I have Yoruichi-chan...but, she's not really a cat...well, she is, but she's not a real...it's complicated. I used to have a dog though."

"A dog?" Rukia inquired. "I didn't know you had a dog."

"Yeah, his name was Kukkapuro."

"Kukkapuro?"

Rukia wondered, while Orihime tilted her head.

"I didn't know, when did you have a dog Taku-chan?"

Takumi went to answer...

But stopped.

His brow creased, and he went into thought.

"When did I have a dog...? Kukkapuro...why did I even say that name...? I didn't even think but... Did I have a dog...? Weird...a dog...I had a dog, didn't I? I'm sure I have had a dog before...Kukkapuro...when did I have that dog...maybe it was...why do I feel sad when thinking about that name...?" Takumi paused when seeing Orihime and Rukia giving him questioning looks. "Hehe, I guess it must've been when I was young, I don't remember~"

"Well, it doesn't matter Taku-chan! I like either myself~"

"Well, we could get both, and then the dog and cat could become best friends, and huddle together at night, teaching them the value of friendship~"

Orihime's face lifted up happily, cupping her hands together.

"Yes, that would be very beautiful Taku-chan!"

Takumi chuckled while Rukia furrowed her eyebrows.

"Lets get a rabbit and name it Chappy."

Takumi and Orihime shared a laugh, while Rukia looked slightly embarrassed.

"Sure, lets get a rabbit and name it Chappy Rukia-chan!"

Rukia's mouth curled upwards, and three shared a small laugh together.

However, they stopped when the Sensei came into the room, and she was followed behind by a girl. The girl wore the normal school outfit, and had a heart shaped belt buckle around her thin waist.

Rukia, Karin, and Takumi all took notice of the girl, but not because she was cute.

It was for another reason.

Rukia glanced at Takumi.

"It's her..."

"Yeah, what is she doing here?"

"I don't know, but we have to be careful...what should we do?"

Takumi didn't have an answer for Rukia at all.

He hoped that wasn't the case.

He didn't want to have a fight with her as well, and if that was the case…

Chizuru's face lifted upwards, and her mouth became foamy, her eyes swirling around in her head, ready to do many different things. She then released a howling out of her mouth, which frightened Tatsuki, who sat nearby, Rukia breathed hard through her nose feeling that Chizuru's eyes were on her form.

Takumi watched her curiously, while hearts came to the boys eyes around.

"She's so cute!"

Keigo, a boy in class, announced happily.

"Y-Yeah. Usually, I like older women, but she's pretty cute."

Mizuiro admitted while the girl herself swayed side to side.

"Alright everyone. We have a new girl joining today." The Sensei looked towards the girl who was pulling her cheeks, making her look goofy. "Would you like to introduce yourself?"

"Sure!" The girl cheered, waving her arms up and down. "The names Giselle Gewelle. Call me Giselle, nice to meet you." Her eyes went around the classroom, then turned towards Takumi. "Hello there." She skipped closer, and placed her hands on the desk, bending over to the shock of the other girls. Her face got close to Takumi's own, getting close to his ear. "How about you become mine~?"

Takumi let out a breath while Rukia narrowed her eyes.

"What did you just say?"

Giselle pulled away, waving her hands side to side.

"Well, I thought you were pretty adorable, so I had to make sure that you were as cute as I thought."

"And the..."

When Takumi went to question it, Giselle moved closer once more, and shocked the classroom, by hugging him tightly, his face turned slightly red, while Orihime, and Yuzu looked ready to faint at the sight, Rukia gave it a suspicious look, while Karin and Tatsuki slapped themselves in the head, the boys looked jealous.

"It seemed like you'd be quite cuddly, so I thought I'd try it~"

Giselle pulled up her cheeks, into a smile, a creepy smile at that.

Then she skipped backwards, and glanced at Rukia.

Rukia's eyes furrowed upon her, while Giselle just stared at her darkly.

"A-Ah, your seat is..."

"Right there. Behind this blonde boy."

Giselle skipped towards Takumi, sitting behind him, and stared at him.

Rukia cringed at the sight, while Takumi grimaced at being stared at.

Giselle swayed side to side, while Takumi just felt chills going down his spine.

He was sure that there was something about Giselle.

But she was hiding it quite well.

His eyes went back to her, to see that Giselle was just staring at him with a slightly vacant expression on her face, yet it seemed like she also was slowly checking him out from behind.

...He was definitely going to have to investigate this girl a little more.

---

At break, Takumi casually went to Giselle, and said "Lets talk outside~" and Giselle happily obliged, stood up, and walked out with Orihime, Karin and Yuzu following. Rukia went to follow, but she felt hands on her shoulders, and chills went up and down her spine, she felt sick to her stomach, and she felt like she was going to die.

"Rukia..."

Her eyes went to the left, to see Zombie Chizuru licking her lips sensually, causing her feel a little fear.

"Z-Zombie Chizuru, you're as scary as ever...w-what do you want...? H-Have you come to kill me...?"

"I made lunch...for yooooooooooooooou..."

Rukia held it together, but she felt tears form in the corner of her eyes.

"T-That's fine, I actually m-made my own..."

"Zombie Chizuru insists."

Rukia cringed at the feeling of her Zombie behind her, and touching her, and now the prospect of eating her food.

But then to her everlasting joy, Takumi came back into the room.

"There you are." Takumi casually walks back to Rukia, lifts her up, and begins walking out of the room. "Sorry Zombie Chizuru, no Rukia-chan today."

"She's mine..."

Zombie Chizuru growls, and casually throws a pencil at Takumi. But without looking, he catches it, and puts it down on the table nearby while walking out of the room with Rukia in his arms.

Getting to a private area, they all face Giselle who casually is pulling on her own hair.

"S-So, you just come to school now?"

Rukia asked the young Quincy, said girl waves her head around.

"Of course, I'm still a school girl, so I need an education."

"And also to be closer to the idiot, isn't it?"

Karin noted having already been informed about Giselle from Takumi, Giselle turning towards her with her goofy expressions showing.

"Maybe~"

Karin releases a dark breath while Orihime looks at Giselle who casually holds onto Takumi's arm.

Yuzu also notices it, and smiles sweetly, as much as she could.

"I-I'm glad you're coming to school, we can get along better with the Quincy girls!"

Giselle nods while never taking her eyes off of Takumi.

"So, you're not going to cause trouble are you Giselle-san?"

Giselle allows her hand to wonder across his torso, while Orihime's cheeks turn slightly red, Rukia noticing that her hands were clutching together slightly.

"Of course not Takumi-kun, unless you want me to be a bad girl~?" The words dripped from her lips lustfully. She then leans up, and gets close to his ear, sweetly giggling against the lobe. "Tell me, want me to be naughty Takumi-kun-"

"E-Erm, Taku-chan doesn't like that! P-Please stop!"

Orihime spoke up, Giselle gives her an awkward smile.

"I'm pretty sure he does~"

"B-But, I know Taku-chan more so I know what Taku-chan likes..."

"Ooh, so you know his fantasies when it comes to women~?" Orihime's and the others do a double take. "Well, you could tell me? I'd be happy if you did. Ooh, is it maid? I could be a maid, serving Master Takumi-kun~ Is it naughty school girl, I'm already that~ Maybe it is sexy nurse. Doctor Takumi-kun, Nurse Giselle needs a spanking on the double hehehehe~"

Orihime looked mortified while Takumi's cheeks continued turning red. Rukia looked between Orihime and Giselle, sensing a certain something between them, sparks going off from their eyes. She also saw Yuzu giving Giselle a curious look, Karin didn't seem to be that interested.

"I presume this is a maidens in love type of battle." Rukia noted within her mind, while Orihime hugged Takumi's other arm. "Hmmm, I've never seen this up close before. But, why do I feel a little...I don't know, something inside of me doesn't like how they're holding onto him...I'm just concerned for Takumi's safety. Yeah, that's it."

Rukia rationalized inside of herself.

She thought that would be for the best.

She watched Orihime and Giselle continue to stare the other down, while Rukia herself thought that if Giselle wasn't going to cause trouble, then it might be useful to have someone else that could use their powers to help defend Karakura around.

---

After dealing with Giselle, Takumi and Rukia went off together to the bike shed, where no one else was around, and she brought out some pez.

"I finally got this from your Father."

"Soul candy?"

Rukia nodded.

"Sometimes, we'll have to leave school, and then we'd have to leave your body somewhere. This way, I thought that you could have this body be at school. Not like you need to go to school anyway hahahaha!"

Rukia laughed while Takumi gave her a weird look.

"Well, it seems that you are quite pumped for this. I'm surprised you just didn't ask me. My Dad didn't force you to pay for it or anything, right?"

Rukia shook her head.

"No, he tried to make me pay, but I said that I'd tell you so he just let it go. Besides, you've been quite busy lately, so I didn't want to interfere with that, and with Urahara being right there, I decided to rely on him. Though I still don't like that he didn't give me the Chappy addition..."

Takumi could understand that.

That was how Rukia displayed her thoughts.

"Either way, it was a good idea to have something like this. So shall we see which one it is?"

Takumi thought that would be best, Rukia nodded, and brought out a single piece of soul candy. Takumi took the piece of candy into his mouth, and his soul was ejected from the Gigai itself, his Gigai's body fell forward, while Rukia looked on curiously.

Then, its eyes opened, and it showed a happy demeaour.

"Hello there, my name is Takumi Urahara, and I like cuddly puppy's, and the endless days that bleed into the endless night."

Takumi gave it a strange look, while Rukia nodded.

"Seems legit."

"Legit? Really?"

Takumi gave her a WTF face.

Rukia nodded her head.

"Seems like that to me." Rukia's watch then went off. "I guess that we'll be going together then. Lets hope that it isn't the Quincy girls again."

Takumi's eyes went towards the soul candy.

"I suppose you can go to class. Just go to sleep or something. That will make everyone know that it was me."

"You got it chief."

The soul candy saluted Takumi, and then they ran away together. However, as Takumi was leaving the area, his smirk grew on his face, and a darkened expression came over his face, and then stretched his leg, swinging it outwards, and kicked a nearby wall, causing it to shake around heavily.

His eyes beamed with happiness, peering into a nearby glass, reflecting his image.

"So, blonde, and have weird eyes. Cool, cool. I like this kind of body." The soul candy casually opens his shirt, and reveals Takumi's abs. "Wow, look at that. This guy even has some muscles. Hehehe, I wonder how it will pull the ladies~"

The candy let out a gleeful expression, looking around the area.

Only to be stopped when Karin was walking over.

"You, idiot."

The candy looked around, and then saw Karin looking at him.

He pointed to himself, Karin nodded.

"Yes, well done. Now, what are you doing? Anything to do with Hollows?"

"Hollows...so, you know what...haha! No, of course not! I was waiting for you!"

Karin furrowed her eyebrows with confusion .

"For me? Why? What do you want?"

The candy chuckled, moving closer and closer to Karin.

Then, his hand slowly placed itself on Karin's shoulder, Karin's eyes narrowing.

"Since when did I give you permission to touch my shoulder!?"

"Whoa now girl, don't get so crazy. I just wanna talk to you."

Karin shrugged off his hand.

"What about?"

"Well, it's because you're so cute."

Karin let out a small gasp of air from her mouth, she was surprised.

"W-What…?"

His hand slowly slid onto her shoulder once more, Karin's face turning a mix of anger, and also some shyness that she couldn't express openly. The fact that she was even being touched like this was weird for someone like her.

"Yeah, looking up close, I've never noticed it before. You're so cute, you have a good body too, hey, do you like mine?"

Karin's eyes went to his opened shirt, and her cheeks flashed red.

She felt her cheeks heating up, and she couldn't even begin to think about what was going on.

"W-What are you saying?! Go and say this to Yuzu!"

"Why would I do that? When all I want..." The candy moved closer, placing a finger under Karin's chin, her cheeks flushing. "...is you."

Karin's face turned several shades of red.

The huskiness of his voice, the low tone that could make her melt.

The way that his body was being shown off towards her.

She didn't want to admit it. But he did have a nice body for her eyes.

"B-But, Yuzu is...y-you should go and say this to Yuzu! She wants...she wants to date you...s-so, why don't you go and be with Yuzu…?"

"Because I want to be with you. That's all I want. Maybe we should go and slay some Hollows together, and after that, we could go on a date..."

"D-Date!?" Karin yelled, then covered her mouth. "N-No! We can't! Go and speak to Yuzu...please go and say this to Yuzu...n-not me, she's the pretty one, I'm...I'm..."

The soul candy placed a finger under her chin, and stroked it, Karin's eyes lidding themselves.

"Don't say that, you are very beautiful. Looking at you, I can't believe I didn't see it before."

Karin felt a pulse from her heart.

She pulled backwards, her fingers brushing against one another's.

"W-We can't do anything, that's for Yuzu...you're supposed to be with Yuzu, not me..."

"You say no, but your face is going red. Have you thought about me before…?" The boy moved closer to Karin, who continued to deny it. "Don't worry. We can keep it between us. So, do you want to go somewhere more..."

He stopped when Karin punched him in the face.

"Seriously! D-Don't speak like that! Who are you?! Takumi wouldn't speak like this! He is an idiot after all!"

The candy chuckled, and waved a hand through his blonde hair.

"I'm Takumi Urahara, and a lover of all pretty girls, that's including you."

"No you're not. Even that idiot wouldn't act like that. So tell me who you are right now."

The candy flexed his arms, and turned away from her, Karin scowled at the sight.

"Well either way, I'm off!"

Karin watched with amazement as he leaped upwards to the sky. He jumped higher than a human could. He went to the third story in the buildings around him, and he spun in the air, his foot sticking into a window, and he hung upside down, staring at Karin.

"You really are the enemy, aren't you?"

"Sorry, I'm going to go and find something fun to do."

The candy saluted Karin and slipped into the building.

Karin's hand tightened…

But then she stopped, looking down at her body.

She could feel her body heating up slightly.

The fact that she didn't see through it right away, forced her to wonder why.

Why she felt the way she did.

Why she stuttered.

Why she hesitated to say anything.

It was something that was crazy.

She didn't even know what to think about this now.

---

Meanwhile, Takumi went for the Hollow with Rukia, and found it quite easy. Rukia released a small breath.

"Good, it seems like it is just a Hollow after all."

"Yeah, lets finish this up quickly, and get back to school."

"Is something wrong?"

Takumi glanced back at Rukia, shrugging.

"I dunno, I just don't like being away from the others, with the Quincy girls around. I don't want them to be targeted by them. And then there's leaving candy me back there. I guess I'm just thinking weird things."

Rukia furrowed her eyebrows, then nodded her head.

"I can see why you thought something like that. Yeah, with those girls out, we can't be sure what's going to happen next. Okay, finish off this Hollow quickly, then we'll go and get back to school. Alright?"

Takumi unsheathed his blade.

"Of course, lets take them out!"

Takumi rushed forward, and disappeared within a second.

He appeared behind the Hollow, with his sword dripping with blood.

Rukia blinked, then saw the Hollow being cut in half.

It was quite fantastic to see Takumi improving.

The Hollow disappeared from the world, turning back to Rukia and gave her the peace sign.

"You're becoming more skilled Takumi."

"Well, I have a great Sensei."

"Your Father."

Rukia thought he was speaking about him.

But Takumi shook his head.

"Not just him, you too."

Rukia's cheeks turned slightly red at his admission.

"I-I see, then I'm glad I could be of help to you."

"And I'm glad that I could be of help to you~ Now, shall we go?"

"Unless there's another thing coming..." Takumi and Rukia looked around, but couldn't see anything. "...I guess that we're free to head back."

Takumi flashed beside her, and put her on his back.

"Then lets go!"

Takumi leaped up into the air, and shot forward like an arrow. He sailed through the air, while Rukia felt her arms sliding around his body, and held onto him.

Something about this, felt good. It felt right, it felt nice to hold onto Takumi…

"Wait, what am I thinking?" Rukia second guessed herself. "Takumi…heh, I guess I'm becoming accustomed to being in this human world. It's nice, to be around someone I can speak to, laugh with, someone that understands me, someone trying hard to help me, Takumi's truly quite different to what I expected. This is quite comfortable..."

Rukia felt content right now.

Something about this felt right to her, she felt like she was beginning to truly fit in…

---

As that was going on, back at the Urahara shop, Kisuke was walking into the store room, peering down at an opened box, and saw that it had the sign on the side of it being 'defective goods', Kisuke's eyebrows twitching.

"Wait, that wasn't..." He then turned back to the door he came through. "Hey Ururu, come here for a second."

Ururu came walking forward, and looked towards Kisuke.

"Yes, Urahara-san?"

"You didn't give Kuchiki-san anything out of this box, did you?"

Ururu looked down at the box, and then wore a sheepish smile.

"O-Oh...erm...I...I...erm..."

Ururu was lost for words.

She didn't know what to say.

Kisuke however didn't seem to care all that much.

"Aah, then it means that we've given Kuchiki-san something defective. And no doubt, Takumi's probably using it. Hahaha….I guess that we should go and retrieve it."

"U-Urahara-san, I've endangered Takumi-san…?"

Kisuke lightly petted her head.

"Don't worry about it, we'll take care of this quickly, I promise. Besides, at this level, Takumi wont be in danger at all, I promise."

Ururu lowered her brows.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sell defective goods..."

"I said it was alright, you don't have to worry."

Ururu's face lifted up slowly, while Kisuke smiled down towards her.

---

Meanwhile, back at school, Yuzu saw Giselle was casually drawing something on a piece of paper, and remembered about Masaki and how she was friends with her Mom. She hadn't told Karin and the others about it, she didn't know what to say about her since she didn't know.

So she walked towards Giselle, and saw that on the paper, seeing that it was a picture of Takumi and Giselle having intercourse, a very detailed picture, seeing everything, Yuzu's face turned bright red at the sight.

"H-Holy moly! W-What have you done with that?!"

Giselle looked up towards Yuzu, seeing her blushing immensely.

"Something wrong~? Don't you like my picture?"

"I-Is that accurate?" Yuzu's eyes went towards the crotch area, and saw how endowed he was, then realized the question that she had said, and her face turned bright red. "N-No! I didn't mean to say something like that! T-That was...t-that was..."

"Don't worry about it, it's all in good fun after all. He's got a good sized one, I like it anyway. So, what did you want~?"

"Oh...erm, I just came here...to see if you were alright, after my Mom...after learning about Mom, you seemed really upset."

Giselle waved her hand.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I'm here, and having fun with the others in class~ They're really kind. Though there are some boys that are staring creepily at me. I'd much prefer having Takumi-kun stare at me like that~"

Giselle admitted to the bewildered Yuzu.

But then, the candy in Takumi's body came through the door, stretching his arms left, and right. His eyes went towards the girls in the class, and he felt himself instantly blushing, especially when he looked towards Orihime.

Giselle glanced at the body of Takumi, and murmured "Not my Takumi-kun." and let out a sad sigh, going back to her conversation with Yuzu.

"Oh Taku-chan, there you are."

Orihime called, waving her hand over to him.

The candy smirked, strolling over with a wide grin on his face.

"Ah, and you...there you are." He gently took her hand, Orihime's cheeks slowly flushing. "You are so beautiful for words." Orihime's cheeks continued to turn red, Tatsuki who was sat nearby couldn't believe what he was saying. "So, how about we go on a date sometime~?"

Orihime's cheeks turned slightly red…

But she felt something off.

The way that Takumi felt...it didn't feel like Takumi.

The feeling she felt was an imposter, and she didn't like it at all.

She pulled her hand away from him.

"Who are you…? You're not my Taku-chan."

The soul candy pulled backwards.

He couldn't believe that Orihime guessed it right away.

"Geez, what is it with these girls knowing this? Does this guy have a distinct personality or something?" He thought to himself, running a hand through his blonde hair. "I-I don't know what you're talking about, it's just me, Takumi. You know me, the guy with the blonde hair..."

Orihime pulled back away from him, Giselle rolled her eyes, but his eyes went towards Yuzu and Giselle.

His eyes danced between them.

"Ooh my God, these babes are fantastically cute. There's not an ugly one of the bunch. They all are pretty damn awesome and cute." He strolled over to Giselle and Yuzu, brushing past Chizuru who snarled angrily. "So, two for the price of one. Damn, you girls are also adorable, and cute." He casually placed a kiss on Yuzu's reddening cheek, while Giselle gave it a hard look. "And your cheek is so soft..."

"T-Takumi-kun! T-That's! You're so forward!"

Yuzu pulled on his cheek, while Giselle casually placed a hand on his butt, and groped him.

"H-Hey! W-Why did you grope me?!"

"Well, I couldn't grope the real one right away, and you have the same butt. So, I wanted to feel it. Damn, it's so nice. I like it~"

Giselle showed a goofy smile on her face, and slapped the soul candy on Takumi's body's butt, causing him to jump, while she giggled, and took Yuzu's hand, and placed it on his butt as well.

"W-What are you doing?!"

"You wanted to ever feel it? Since this isn't even Takumi-kun, it's a chance to do it without being called naughty."

"T-That's! W-Wait, did you say that this isn't Takumi-kun?"

Giselle wagged her finger, pushing against Yuzu's cheek while Yuzu hadn't removed her hand from his butt.

"That's right. This isn't Takumi-kun."

The soul candy pulled backwards, his back hitting a nearby desk, of Orihime's.

Her smile went up towards him, but then she leaned up, and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Please don't do anything bad while within Taku-chan's body."

The soul candy looked on with worry at what was happening.

These girls seemed to know Takumi so intimately that they guessed it wasn't him right away.

But then Zombie Chizuru rose from her seat. Her eyes went towards Takumi's body, her eyes displaying anger, and her hands tightened angrily.

"Zombie Chizuru detects annoyance, and is pissed that you are speaking to my Hime. I shall punish you for speaking to my Hime. Now, commence attack."

Zombie Chizuru dashed forward, lifting a chair up and swung it for Takumi's body, his body let out a cry and bent away from the attack, Zombie Chizuru snarled, and launched the chair at the candy, but said candy managed to kick the chair away from him, and it landed on the ground, splintering the wood.

"Whoa! W-What are you doing?"

The candy asked Zombie Chizuru who opened her mouth, snarling dangerously at the sight of Takumi's body.

"Zombie Chizuru is pissed off with you. You are flirting with my Hime, and that can't happen. I shall stop you from trying anything with my Himeeeeeeeeeeeee. Now, come to me, and I shall defeat you. I have been training to defeat evil beings like yoooooooooooou."

"I'm not evil! You weirdo! Stay away from me!"

Zombie Chizuru's eyes span around in her head, Tatsuki looked on with worry.

"A-Are you alright Honsho?"

"Zombie Chizuru is fine, Tatsuki-chan. Now, my flower, come here, and we'll beat him together."

Tatsuki gave her a worried look, but Zombie Chizuru charged forward, and swung a fist for the candy, said candy raised his foot, batting her hand away, only for Zombie Chizuru to grab a ruler, and swung it for his body, he bent backwards, and it hit the wall, causing the ruler to slap the wall hard, the others grimacing.

"Z-Zombie Chizuru! Please don't hurt Taku-chan's body!"

Orihime let out a small cry, but Zombie Chizuru snarled.

"Sorry Hime, he is a danger, I shall eliminate danger."

Giselle slapped herself in the head, and saw her swing her ruler around in her hand, aiming it for the candy's body, and shot for him, jabbing the ruler towards him, forcing him to jump away, avoiding the piercing of the ruler.

"Geez! Zombie chick! Calm down! Stop this right now!"

Zombie Chizuru didn't stop though, and jumped upwards. Yuzu watched as Chizuru got behind the candy's body, and swung her ruler, forcing the candy forward, where the ruler narrowly missed his body, Giselle narrowed her eyes.

She stood up, as the Zombie girl came closer to the candy, who cowered away.

Giselle got in the way of the Zombie, and placed her finger out.

"No, don't do that."

"Giselle-sama..."

She growled, but Giselle remained stern.

"No, go away now. Don't attack that body. It might not be Takumi-kun, but I wont allow that body to be endangered at all."

Zombie Chizuru snarled, but did as she was asked, and left the body of Takumi alone.

The candy looked towards Giselle with appreciation, only for Giselle to casually move closer, and got right within his face, scaring him a little bit.

"Trying to replace Takumi-kun are we? You are a bad boy. Maybe I should punish you and make you become one of my..." Before she could finish, her eyes went out of the window, and saw Takumi coming with Rukia. "Oh, never mind then, I'll let them deal with it hehehehe~"

She whistled, and skipped back to her seat, leaving behind the bewildered soul candy.

The soul candy looked freaked out by what was going on, but then Giselle swayed side to side.

His eyes shot for more members of the class, and saw everyone looking at him.

His hand tightened excitedly, he loved the attention that he was getting.

So he took it up a notch, though Zombie Chizuru came closer, with a bottle of alcohol.

"Have this..."

She growled, the soul candy let out an exasperated breath.

"Tha-That's..."

"Now..."

The soul candy grimaced, and drunk it so she didn't attack him.

---

When Takumi and Rukia ran through the corridor, they came across Karin, who let out a small cry.

"Geez! So, it wasn't you that was flir...that was down there before."

"...So you've come across my Gigai with the soul candy then."

"Yeah, and he's...running a little wild."

Takumi sighed deeply, while Rukia looked out of the window surprisingly shyly.

"I knew something was going to be off. Great, now what is this damn soul candy going to be doing?"

Takumi didn't even want to know.

But he didn't expect what he did when he got into the classroom.

"It's getting hot in here~ So I'll take off all my clothes~ Check me out girls~ I'll show you my body~!"

Takumi watched in horror as the soul candy in his form, was half naked in the classroom, his shirt off his body, his pants down, and teasingly pulling at his underwear, his face slightly red, and he saw that alcohol was nearby, wondering if the soul candy had drunk that.

Rukia's cheeks flushed bright red at the sight, Karin placed a hand to her mouth, trying not to laugh, but held a small blush on her cheeks.

In the classroom itself, the men looked jealous with the women's eyes on Takumi's body. Orihime's eyes were captivated by Takumi's dancing form, Yuzu was sat down trying to not pass out from being able to see Takumi's body, and Giselle licked her lips sensually at the sight. Tatsuki placed a hand over her mouth, completely stunned by what was happening, while Zombie Chizuru looked disgusted.

Takumi himself was horrified.

Seeing how his Gigai was moving.

How he was shaking his hips provocatively.

Seeing how his butt was shaking, and his manhood. He was thankful that he had on underwear, but it still was quite embarrassing.

"Ooh yeah!"

"Has he always had such a body? Damn..."

"I know, he's been hiding those muscles! And those hips! That area of his! Both front and back! This is awesome!"

"He's got a really cute butt!"

"His member is also damn fine! Great size!"

Cheers came from the girls.

He even noticed that it just wasn't the girls in his class.

But other classes.

Takumi placed a hand over his mouth while Rukia looked captivated by Takumi's body.

Takumi even noticed that she was looking, so he tried to cover her eyes, only for Rukia to push his hand away from her eyes so she could look on.

"Oh my God, what is he doing!? Is he drunk!? Why does he have alcohol?!"

"Well, he's dancing erotically, and it seems that the girls are enjoying the views of your body being nearly nude. This is going to hit your rep quite hard, isn't it?"

"Not helping Karin-chan!"

Karin snickered at Takumi's suffering.

Orihime's eyes went towards Takumi's lower body, and then her cheeks burned absolutely red.

"Taku-chan's thingy..."

Takumi's bottom lip began to tremble, while Rukia placed a hand on Takumi's back.

"You really have it rough."

"Rukia-chan...we need to stop him. We have to do something by any means necessary, this can't continue."

Karin glanced at Takumi, and then the soul candy.

Her eyes furrowed, and then she grabbed a nearby chair.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Karin allowed a battle cry to escape her lips, and she rushed the soul candy, swinging it at the soul candy, slamming against his back, and forced him down off the table, Takumi's eyes shed a few tears at the sight of his Gigai being attacked like he was.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

Karin shot her eyes to Takumi, who stormed over.

"I TOOK EVASIVE ACTION!"

"YOU WANTED TO DO THAT A LITTLE TOO MUCH!"

"YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I DID! THIS BASTARD PISSED ME OFF! SO I TOOK HIM DOWN!"

"DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO HIT HIM WITH A CHAIR?! I HAVE TO GO INTO THAT BODY LATER ON YOU KNOW?!"

"I DON'T CARE, I TOOK HIM DOWN DIDN'T I!? I MANAGED TO KNOCK HIS ASS DOWN! SO DON'T YELL AT ME!"

Takumi and Karin continued to yell at each other, the people that couldn't see Takumi due to him being a Shinigami, was also being confused by what was going on before them right now, essentially boiled down to Karin yelling at thin air.

As they fought, the soul candy looked on towards the pair fighting, and saw a chance to try and escape this fate.

However, before he could exit through the window, Takumi launched his blade towards the soul candy, which pierced the wall before him, halting his progression, and then turned a darkened glare towards him.

"Don't you move soul candy."

The soul candy panicked, and tried to move in the other direction, when Rukia got in the way so he couldn't move out of the way.

"Sorry, you've got no place to go now."

Karin, and Takumi moved forward, surrounding the boy, and he looked towards them with an innocent expression on his face.

"C-Come on, please don't do anything to me. You can't do anything to me...I wont go back! I wont! I will keep this body! I can't go back to what I was before!"

Takumi furrowed his eyebrows.

"You being just a pill, is that what you were talking about?"

"D-Damn straight! Of course! I can't go back!"

Takumi watched as soul candy raised his leg, and swung it for Takumi, who blocked it with his arm, grabbing his leg, and lifted it upwards, and dragged the soul candy's body up, flipping it around, and then dragged his body out of the classroom, with Karin, Yuzu, Rukia, and Orihime following after him. Giselle also followed, Zombie Chizuru tried to follow, but Giselle casually pushed her back down onto the chair before she could move with them.

"What the hell was going on?"

Tatsuki spoke up, then saw Zombie Chizuru's eyes rolling around dangerously.

"H-He's a monster, after the girls...he takes them away from meeeeeeeeee..."

Tatsuki gave Zombie Chizuru a weird look.

"Are you alright Honsho? You seem different."

Zombie Chizuru's eyes shot for the young woman, and placed a hand over her chest.

"I'm fine, I'm alright. Don't worry about meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…."

Tatsuki felt like shedding tears.

She didn't like this at all.

She was sure something had happened with Zombie Chizuru.

---

The others dragged the half naked boy out of the school, and to a secluded area with the girls surrounding him so he couldn't be seen by the others, all the while the soul candy yelled "Let me go!" but Takumi wouldn't let him go at all, but as they walked through the area, the Mod-Soul overheard a conversation by a bunch of kids at a nearby Elementary school, behind a bikeshed.

"Ugh! This is stupid! Why wont it do anything I want!? I created you, do as I say!"

"Don't be so loud, it's fine, we'll be caught by Sensei, and will have to do gym. If it isn't that good, just delete it."

That struck a cord with the Mod-Soul while being dragged by Takumi.

"Yeah, I did make it so deleting it wouldn't be so bad. I can make another one, a better one anyway hahaha."

The kids laughed together, as they were playing a game together.

But to the soul candy, it sounded terrible.

They'd get rid of anything that wasn't perfect.

They'd delete them for nothing.

His eyes shot for Takumi, and kicked him upside the head, making him growl.

"Oi, what are you doing?!"

Takumi looked to see that the soul candy had jumped downwards towards them.

Since he was in such a state, his hair shadowed his eyes, moving forward.

"H-Hey! Why is that guy nearly nude?!"

"Is he a stripper or something!?"

Takumi from behind, let out a small cry.

"People are going to call me a stripper forever now..."

Orihime placed a hand on his back.

"Ooh Taku-chan. Don't worry, I wont think you're a stripper!"

Takumi grabbed her hands with a large smile on his face.

"You're so wonderful! Please keep being wonderful!"

Orihime's smile grew on her face, while the soul candy got before the children, Giselle giving off a weird gaze.

"Taking lives like that for granted. You created it, and you're going to get rid of it as if it was nothing at all...there's something wrong with you. You are horrible people, you're doing something so disgusting..."

He raised his leg, and went to kick it, when Karin leaped out, and punched the soul candy right in his jaw, forcing him backwards.

"Karin-chan! Remember! No hitting me like that!"

"It's not you, it's your body!"

"Same difference!"

They had a little back and forth, while Rukia cocked her head.

"With the way they fight, you'd think that they wouldn't be that strong of friends."

"But, that's how they are Kuchiki-chan." Orihime smiled out. "Since Taku-chan and Karin-chan have such words with one another, it just shows how close they really are with one another. They are very close friends. Only close friends can bug you so much! If you didn't care about the other person at all, then their words wouldn't annoy you so much, right?"

Rukia murmured "I guess..." and watched with keen interest.

Giselle casually strolled forward, and looked between the two Takumi's.

"Wouldn't it be great if both of them hugged me~?" Yuzu gives Giselle a curious look, who nods wonderfully. "Yes, that's right."

Yuzu tilts her head curiously.

Takumi watched as the soul candy went to kick Karin, but she expertly dodged it, getting close, and slapped her hand across his face, forcing him back into the arms of Takumi, who restrained him.

"That's enough! Where you going to strike those kids?!"

"Of course! They took life for granted! Creating...and destroying them...as if they were nothing...this is..."

Takumi glanced at Rukia who lowered her eyebrows.

"Would you have killed them?"

The eyes of the soul candy shot back for Takumi.

"Of course I wouldn't!"

"Then you shouldn't of attack them. I know that you've got your own issues, but attacking innocent people, no matter how much they annoy you, is wrong, do you understand?"

The soul candy's eyes drifted downwards, so Takumi hauled him over his shoulder, and began walking off. The three kids looked bewildered to see that Takumi's body was seemingly floating in the air, due to not being able to see Takumi.

Rukia walked closer, and casually used the memory replacement on them, and they fainted on the ground.

Continuing to go towards a location, Takumi figured that they might need to have a private area, so he went to an abandoned warehouse area.

---

When getting there, Takumi tossed the boy to the ground, and looked over him.

"Alright, you're gonna have to explain what you actually want. You aren't like any normal soul candy I've ever seen before. If anything, I'd say..."

"He's a Mod-Soul…."

Rukia murmured, Karin tilted her eyebrows up.

"A Mod-Soul…? What's that?"

Rukia's eyebrows lowered, and she began to explain.

"While on the way here, you said that he could jump high, right?"

"That's right, more than a human should be capable of."

Karin answered Rukia who let out a small breath.

"I don't know how I received it, because they were all supposed to have been destroyed."

The Mod-Soul's eyes continued to lower to the ground, looking depressed by what was being said.

"D-Destroyed? Why?"

Orihime's words reached Rukia, who didn't know what to say.

But she steeled herself, and continued.

"They were apart of Project Spearhead. They were designed with the intention of having some superhuman capability, like super arm strength, or leg strength or some other aspect that would make a body superhuman. In this case, it is the enhanced leg strength that this Mod-Soul seems to be displaying. Others had some other kind of ability that made them special. They were supposed to be placed into the corpses of humans and used to fight the Hollows."

"So, soldiers for the Soul Society, right?"

Giselle asked Rukia who nodded as a response, to the horrified Orihime, and Yuzu.

"That's right. However, the project was terminated because it was deemed too dangerous. Therefore, the Soul Society were ordered to scrap all of the Mod-Souls as if they didn't exist in the first place."

"So, they made lives, and took lives..." Suddenly, Rukia was surprised to see Takumi's hand tightening. "That just wont do! You can't just make and take lives like that! They have a soul, don't they? You can't just kill them off! Science isn't about things like that! If you create life, then you have to cherish that life damn it! It's supposed to be about bettering the lives of others, not creating life to take it away! You have to respect life! That's why there's some boundaries that people shouldn't cross. To me, people that experiment on others and creating life, and destroying it, is also not acceptable at all, scientists don't harm, but help others. If I were to do it, then I'd treat them as my children, not as something to be disposed of. That's how I see it anyway. They made them, and then got rid of them as if they weren't important, but they are important because they were given life."

The Mod-Souls eyes shot for Takumi at his passionate words.

Rukia continued to be surprised by what was being said, but to Orihime, it made sense.

That's how Takumi would be in her eyes.

Yuzu felt a pulse from her heart at what Takumi had said.

Giselle smiled brightly at what Takumi said, she quite liked it.

Even Karin was surprised that he said such things.

It made quite an impact on her.

To see Takumi in such a light. He wasn't goofing off, it was Takumi being serious and stating his thoughts as a scientist, and more importantly, as a human being.

"You're right." Rukia spoke up. "It is cruel. It isn't my nature to question the Soul Society, but in instances like this, it can be seen as cruel, as horrible. But, you're going to have to get out of his body now. You've caused enough trouble for today."

The Mod-Soul lifted its body up from the ground.

"But, I don't want to go back to being nothing..."

Takumi opened his mouth to speak when suddenly, an arrow flew by, and went to slice the Mod-Soul when Takumi leaped forward, and cut it apart with his Zanpakuto, pushing the Mod-Soul backwards.

---

His eyes shot to the side, to see through the doorway, that Bambietta was stood there.

"Geez, what is it with women trying to kill you anyway?"

The Mod-Soul questioned Takumi who chuckled awkwardly.

"Yeah, that's just kind of the world that I live in. The girls that I know have some kind of tendency to attack me." His eyes shifted to Orihime, and grinned. "Besides my Orihime-chan, because she is an Angel!"

Orihime giggled while Rukia looked on curiously.

Yuzu furrowed her eyebrows, while Karin scowled.

Giselle glanced at Bambietta, who looked back at her.

"So, associating with the Shinigami now Giselle?"

"So what?" Giselle looked vacantly to the sky. "I thought that we agreed you'd leave the Shinigami alone."

Bambietta scoffed.

"Right, as if I'm going to be doing that." Bambietta's eyes went towards Takumi in a condescending way. "Well, look who's here. I'm going to carve you up, understand?"

While she said that, the Mod-Soul's body moved backwards, seeing Takumi's eyes on the girl before him.

"And your friends aren't here today? Why is that? Fall out?"

Bambietta's lips curled downwards.

"Because they were worried about what you did to them. But, I'm not scared at all. I shall defeat you, and your group here as well. Even if Giselle is here, I'll stop her too."

Takumi and the others all looked towards Bambietta who was smirking dangerously.

Takumi then noticed that the Mod-Soul was trying to get away, only for Takumi to shoot his hand towards him.

"Don't you dare run away from here."

"H-Hey! Keep your eyes on that girl! Not me!"

"Sorry, but I can't let you go either. You're staying here whether you like it or not."

The Mod-Soul let out a small growl, but Takumi refused to let him leave.

Bambietta chuckled, thrusting her palm towards the Mod-Soul.

"So, if I destroyed your body, you'd be pretty down about it, right? Alright then, time to explode!"

Takumi furrowed his eyebrows, seeing her energy being released.

"Hey, move out of the way!"

Takumi announced, sharing a look with Rukia who nodded.

The energy came towards the Mod-Soul, who leaped out of the way, barely, only for Bambietta to charge up an arrow, and shot off the arrow right for him, who was in the air since she was so fast at firing, and couldn't defend against it…

Only for Takumi to appear before him, and sliced the arrow down before it could touch him as Giselle fired off an arrow at Bambietta, who growled, forming a sword of spirit energy though it looked like a real metal sword, and cut through the arrow.

The Mod-Soul landed on the ground, while Takumi glanced towards him.

"You protected me..."

"It's as I said before, you deserve a chance to live. And that's my body you're in, you've caused me some trouble at school."

The Mod-Soul released a chortle.

"I guess so, it was..."

"Because you wanted to be noticed, right?" The Mod-Souls eyes lowered. "It's fine, but you can't go around doing such things. I wont let you die or anything, I don't believe killing others for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Also, don't drink alcohol in my body again."

The Mod-Soul couldn't believe what he was hearing.

His eyes looked upon Takumi, and then looked towards Bambietta as Giselle stood beside Takumi, pointing her arrow towards Bambietta.

"Bambietta-san, it seems that we've got a fight between us."

Bambietta allowed a smile to appear on her face, allowing her hands to dance with her energy.

"You're right, I'm so thrilled to be facing you again. And if the others didn't want to come, then so be it."

"Fine, but leave the others out of it. I'll duel you by myself."

Bambietta stuck out her tongue in an annoyed way.

"Seriously, don't even start with me!"

Bambietta threw her energy at Takumi, who glanced at Rukia, who tossed a marble to him, and stuck it out in front of him.

Bambietta watched curiously as her energy hit the sphere...and it didn't do anything.

That confused her.

"W-What? Why didn't it explode? It is an explosive now..."

"It is." Takumi threw it at Bambietta within a second, exploding when it neared her, forcing her through the building, and was brought outside, Takumi glanced at Karin and the others. "Make sure the Mod-Soul doesn't go anywhere, I'll deal with Bambietta-san now."

"Right, leave him to us."

Takumi nodded at Karin, then he looked at Giselle.

"Giselle-san."

"Y-Yes Takumi-kun!?"

"Protect the others for me, okay?"

Giselle places her hands on her cheeks, blushing slightly.

"You're counting on me, then I can do it!"

"Thanks."

Takumi thanked her as he left outside.

The Mod Soul went to move, when Karin brought out her sword, pointing it at him.

"Don't even try it."

"Hahaha, you girls are scary..."

Karin walked over to the Mod-Soul, and pushed him forward to the others, forcing him between the girls.

"Now stay there, while we watch the idiot fight this bomb chick."

The Mod-Soul didn't even know what he was going to do now that he was stuck with the others.

---

Takumi walked outside to see Bambietta peeling herself off the floor.

"What the hell did you do?"

Takumi placed a hand to his chest.

"You might have powerful abilities, but I managed to create something that can stop your energy from exploding immediately. Indeed, your power infected the sphere, but it has something built into it that causes it to freeze in a suspended animation like state, for three seconds, and in that three seconds, I can launch it right back at you, effectively turning your powers right back on you. Your power is spirit energy based, you've blasted me enough times for me to get a good deal of your spirit energy gathered, studying it, and adapted these spheres to your specific energy signature so they'll pause your energy for three seconds and yours alone Bambi-chan, so you could say, I made them just for you Bambi-chan."

Bambietta growled, withdrawing her sword.

"So, you even managed to do that. Alright then, I get it. You can stop me directly attacking you, that's fine with me. It just means I have to be a little creative!"

Bambietta threw her explosive energy towards Takumi's feet, which exploded, blowing up the ground, Bambietta came swinging through the cloud of smoke, and her sword aimed for Takumi's neck, but Takumi parried her blade, and swung his blade downwards, pushing the young woman backwards slightly.

"Being creative, now you're speaking my language!"

Takumi swung his sword left, forcing Bambietta in that direction, which allowed Takumi to point his fingers forward, his spirit energy gathering by his fingers.

"N-No!"

Bambietta tried to move, but Takumi already began his Kido spell.

"Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat! Bakudo 9: Geki!"

Releasing his Kido spell, a red light engulfs the target, wrapping around them like a blanket, and stopped her movements, allowing Takumi to get close to her body, and locked down her arms, with his hands, and went to use another Kido, when Bambietta's eyes blazed with rage.

"Screw yooooooooooooooooooooooooou!"

Bambietta allowed her energy to come out, and surround her, exploding harshly.

The explosion was huge, and the shock wave shook the building that the others were in. even though Takumi had gotten her a good distance away, it still managed to shake the building, and some tiles from the roof began to fall down towards Yuzu, Giselle noticed it and went to take it down, when someone else did instead.

"No!"

The Mod-Soul leaped upwards, and swung out his leg, kicking away the tiles that would of hit Yuzu.

Yuzu looked up towards the tiles, and then the Mod-Soul, and smiled.

"See? Isn't it better to be good, than bad? You protected me."

The Mod-Soul scratched his cheek, while Rukia narrowed her eyebrows.

"We should get a good distance away from this area." The others agreed, and began to leave, when seeing Orihime hadn't moved. "Inoue, we should leave and let Takumi handle this kind of fight. It is a fight that we can't interfere with."

Orihime looked at Takumi who was sailing through the air, seeing that he managed to avoid the worst case scenario with the explosive power that Bambietta had unleashed.

"Kuchiki-chan, sometimes...don't you wish that Taku-chan didn't have to do it alone?"

"Yes...I do. But, we don't have the power to do anything right now."

Orihime's face turned downwards, unaware that her hairpins began to glow a little bit.

Rukia then helped Orihime get out of the area, and ran to a good distance, to see that Bambietta had broken out of Takumi's Kido spell, and the area around her had become a hole, like a bomb had gone off around her, which it had.

"Your Kido isn't going to bind me, and your little devices aren't going to work either. You might have planned out for that, but your tech is only going to take you so far. If you think that's the case, then think again Takumi Urahara!"

Bambietta growled as she ran forward, swinging her blade for Takumi.

But then he stopped when seeing from the sky, that something was coming down.

His eyes widened at the sight, so did Rukia, and Karin.

"But...we've already defeated that Hollow..."

Rukia muttered, Karin grimacing at the sight of the Hollow.

She remembered that this was the same Hollow that Takumi had taken out when he first became a Shinigami. It was the same size, and the same type of spirit power, it even looked the same right down to the shape of the mask, and the body type, among other things.

"Bambietta-san! Move!"

Bambietta gave a dirty look to him.

"Yeah right, is this another tactic?"

"No, move!"

Takumi released a sigh, and rushed her.

"G-Get away from me!"

She growled, and swung her sword out for him when he sailed over the blade, appearing behind her, grabbing her body and threw her a good distance away, as the Hollow swiped down with its claws, slashing towards Takumi who used his Zanpakuto to block the blade, but the Hollow opened its mouth, and shot off a sphere of red energy towards him, Takumi grimacing and disappeared with a dash.

But the Hollows eyes went towards Takumi once more, and raised its fist, aiming its fist at Takumi, and red energy gathered around its hand, shooting off several blasts of energy, while Bambietta landed on the ground, seeing Takumi dodge the energy blasts, which tore through the ground, then her eyes went back to Giselle who looked right back at her.

Bambietta couldn't understand what the hell was going on, and why Takumi had even saved her in the first place.

"He saved my life...why did he save my life...? Am I that weak that I couldn't even see the Hollow coming...? What the hell is going on here..."

Bambietta watched on curiously, but then her anger was growing.

She had to be saved by a Shinigami.

That tore her up inside.

And the fight they had...she wasn't sure if she'd be able to win.

She glanced at Giselle once more, before she walked off from the battlefield.

"Oh Bambi-chan, you truly have a complicated heart."

Giselle noted, as the Hollow got close to Takumi once more, and opened its mouth. Red energy came from its mouth, gathering into a large sphere before him. Karin gripped her sword, and went to help out, when Giselle stopped her.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't worry, he'll be fine."

"But last time, he was nearly killed, and-"

"But last time, he was just becoming a Shinigami, and now he's been a Shinigami for a little while. Don't worry, he'll be fine."

Giselle spoke with confidence, Orihime looked on with a worried expression, her and Yuzu now wearing their glasses to see what was going on.

Takumi spun his hand around, and leaped upwards, as the Hollow followed him with its mouth.

Then the Hollow went to release the Cero but Takumi anticipated this, and announced "Bakudo 4: Hainawa!" and yellow rope came out of his hand, shooting for the Hollow just as the Hollow released a Cero, but the rope tied around the Hollows mouth, clasping it shut, and the Hollows Cero went off inside of its mouth, blasting a large hole within the mouth of the Hollow, blood dripped down from its breaking mask.

Takumi then sailed down towards the Hollow, and went to cut it apart, when the Hollow swung its hands upwards, and acid came out of its palms.

Takumi went to move, when arrows came from Giselle, piercing through the large spheres of acid, causing them to disperse before they could touch Takumi.

"Got your back Takumi-kun!"

Giselle grinned, as Takumi gave her a smile back, and aimed his Zanpakuto at the Hollow.

"Time to say goodbye!"

Takumi dashed forward, and sliced through the Hollow. The Hollow attempted to fight back, but it couldn't beat him in the end, as it tried to fire off some acid attacks, but the sword pierced right through the Hollow, with the Hollows body turning into nothingness from his sword swing.

"This Hollow surely is quite dangerous...but, it seems that Takumi managed to take it down."

Rukia smiled out, but then she, and the others all felt chills down their spines.

Takumi glanced at the others, and saw that another Hollow came behind them.

"Look out!"

Takumi dashed forward as fast as he could.

Giselle was the first to react, turning back, aiming an arrow right at the Hollows mask as the Hollow spat out a blast of energy. Without even moving, blue markings spread across her body and she merely took the blast, and received practically no damage, Takumi's lips curling upwards.

"Is that the technique Blut Vene...? I've never seen it so close before..."

Giselle heard Takumi's murmuring's, and grinned back towards him.

"That's right Takumi-kun, you're so smart~ I remember learning this from my Sensei~"

Giselle raised her foot, and kicked the Hollow in the stomach, pulling back her string and fired off the arrow right through the face of the Hollow as it staggered backwards, which spread the energy around its body, and killed it off, but another also appeared, Takumi furrowing his eyebrows, looking around the area, and saw a familiar hole that he had seen before.

"What the hell..." Takumi didn't like it, but he got back to the others, and looked upwards. "Rukia-chan, there's a hole in the sky, it's spewing out Hollows that were exactly like that first one when we met...but, these seem weaker, but there seems to be more of them. What the hell is going on?"

"I don't know, but we need to close that hole somehow."

Giselle swayed side to side, then cracked her neck.

"All we have to do is injure the one causing the hole to appear, so lets just fire our attacks at the hole, and hope we hit something."

"Well, I guess..."

"Great, then let do this! Take care of that Hollow Takumi-kun, I'll stop this hole with Karin-chan and Yuzu-chan working together!"

Giselle pulled back her string, summoning a strong arrow as Karin charged up her sword, and Yuzu charged up her own arrow.

Takumi spun his Zanpakuto, seeing the new one coming forward, so he took evasive action and sailed closer. Energy gathered at the fists of the Hollow, but Takumi danced to the side, and swung his sword upwards, slicing through the Hollow's body, and its two halves dropped to the ground.

At the same time, Giselle fired off an arrow deep for the hole along with Yuzu, and Karin shooting off an energy wave, sliding inside of the hole, and a large howling came from said hole, along with blood spurting out of the hole.

"Takumiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!"

The Hollow within the hole screamed out, everyone widening their eyes at the cry.

"That Hollow just called for Taku-chan...why does it know Taku-chan...?"

Orihime didn't get it, but Rukia didn't like it either.

However, because of the tri attack of Giselle, Yuzu and Karin, the hole began to close once more, only for an energy bullet came out and shot for Orihime, who went to move, but Takumi appeared before her, and sliced down the bullet, it seemingly to be a distraction so it could escape.

---

Once the Hollow was defeated, he turned to the others.

"Taku-chan, are you okay? Did she or the Hollows hurt you?"

"No, I'm alright Orihime-chan. Are you okay?" She nodded happily, sticking out her tongue in a cutesy manner, Takumi noticing her hairpins glowing slightly. "Orihime-chan, are you..."

Her hairpins stopped glowing, as Orihime tilted her head.

"Is something wrong Taku-chan?"

"N-No...I guess not." Takumi shook his head, though was curious as to what why her hairpins were glowing. "Anyway, it seems that we've got a more pressing matter with that Hollow. Rukia-chan, it had similar Hollows that were like the first one...no, they were the same, like clones. Right down to their spiritual pressure."

"Clones? Is that possible?"

Karin asked Rukia who narrowed her brow.

"Cloning itself...if that's the case, then this Hollow is highly dangerous."

"How strong is this Hollow after Takumi-kun? If it can make clones that are around mid level normal Hollow power, and seemingly can spam them, then what strength are we up against?"

Giselle's question was met with uncertainty from all of them.

Takumi's eyes went towards the Mod-Soul.

"Disregarding that Hollow for the moment, what to do with you?"

"You're going to put me back in my pill form, aren't you?"

Takumi shook his head.

"No, if you let me explain, I'll make you a body."

The Mod-Soul paused.

Make...him a body?

Was that even possible?

That's what the Mod-Soul had to question.

Takumi continued.

"I'd make it for you to inhabit. The Soul Society might want to get rid of you, but I wont. You're a living person just like the rest of us. It doesn't matter how you came to be. You are living, you breath, and you do annoying things that piss us off-" Karin nodded strongly. "-but that's all apart of being alive. And we aren't going to simply abandon you now."

The Mod-Soul looked between them all, seeing their kind faces.

Seeing how Takumi, Giselle, Orihime, Karin, Yuzu, and Rukia all were giving him kind expression, he felt blessed.

But then he looked at Orihime, and began crying.

"Waaaaah! I need a hug because you're so kind!"

He went to Orihime...her chest.

But Takumi and Karin casually elbowed him in the back of the head before he could reach Orihime, and dropped him to the floor.

"My, that was a nice speech son."

Takumi, and the others gasped, turning to see Kisuke stood there with his hands in his pockets.

"Aah Dad, there you are. I thought you'd show up sooner or later."

"Indeed. Now, if you want to hand over that Mod-Soul..." Takumi's frown showed itself on his face. "...alright then, it seems you've decided to take care of it."

"It could be useful. Besides, you gave it to Rukia-chan. And we don't accept returns do we?"

Kisuke couldn't deny that, Rukia casually slipped on her glove, and pulled the pill out of Takumi's body, allowing Takumi to enter inside his Gigai once more.

"You're not wrong. I hope you know what you're doing."

"Of course, I'll build him a Gigai! Maybe one that can shoot lasers out of his eyes!"

Kisuke's face lifted up.

"How about having Reishi claws?!"

"Yeah, yeah! Then he can have teeth that can chomp through steel! Boots that can fly through the air!"

""Hahahahahahahaha!""

Father and son released laughs together, while the girls sweat dropped at the sight, besides Orihime who began laughing along with them despite not really being into building new bodies, she found it quite infectious.

Giselle however murmured "He's so hot when he's in scientist mode." causing Rukia to give her a slightly worried look, seeing Giselle smack her lips together.

Karin looked at her watch, and grimaced.

"Damn, we've missed the entire last half of school."

"Hehe, we have been busy Karin~"

Yuzu sang out, Rukia folded her arms.

"Since its finished, I suppose that we could search for some Chappy stuff..." Karin and Yuzu gave her a dry look. "...We could do many things together, not just that."

Takumi looked between them all, then raised his hands up.

"Lets go and get ice cream! A victory for today! Not just with Bambietta-san and the Hollows but with the Mod-Soul too! We still need a name for that guy though..."

"A name...how about Mod?"

Orihime thought, Karin shook her head.

"Too cool."

"How about Soul?"

Yuzu suggested, Giselle shook her head.

"Reminds me of spirits."

Orihime and Yuzu pouted, while Takumi placed a finger under his chin.

"Well...there's another name for Mod-Soul, right Rukia-chan?"

"Yes, it's called Kaizo Konpaku."

"Kaizo!"

Yuzu cheered, Karin placed a hand on her shoulder.

"No, it's still too cool."

"Paku?"

Giselle suggested, Takumi shook his head.

"I still think that's kinda weird to call him Paku."

"But...how about Kon then?"

All five of them cracked their head to Orihime, while Kisuke smiled, leaving the teens to do what they wanted.

"Awww, I like the name Kon!"

"Kon...yeah, not too cool."

Karin voiced her thoughts after Yuzu, Takumi nodding.

"Kon the Mod-Soul, sounds great to me."

"Kinda gives him an edge."

Giselle pulled a funny face while saying it.

"And it doesn't remind me of anything in particular."

Rukia added, Orihime raised her arms up.

"Great! Then he's Kon now! All we have to do is bring him back..."

"Well, he is a pill, so wouldn't it just work by putting it into anything that has a mouth and body?"

Takumi spoke to Rukia, who shrugged.

"In theory, that's what I've got on right now, a Gigai, a body without a soul. I guess that anything like this would be fine. A body without a soul. I guess it could be anything that's human or animal shaped."

That got Yuzu to thinking, who then adopted a grin.

"I've got many stuffed teddies, maybe he could take one of them, and we'll teach him to be a good boy, and not flirt with all of the class, and strip in front of everyone in Takumi-kun's body!"

Takumi shuddered.

"Great, I'm going to have to deal with that tomorrow..."

The girls began to laugh while Takumi looked on sadly, he didn't want to have to deal with that anymore.

---

Bambietta went back to her hideout, licking her mental wounds, from her fight with Takumi. The fact that she had lost, it made her tremble with anger, and also her eyes looked as if she had been depressed for a little while.

She thought about what she needed to do now.

She had to be saved by Takumi...

That sickened her more than she thought.

To be saved by a Shinigami angered her more than she thought would be possible.

Her hands tightened angrily.

"Tsk, this is such a pain...and that damn Shinigami...he saved me...he actually saved me...unforgivable, I don't need a Shinigami to save me after what they've done to me..." Her eyes went to a nearby room, opening the door and revealed what seemed to be something metallic. "You'll be enough, wont you BG5?"

Bambietta released a dark chuckle.

Whatever she had planned, had something to do with this BG5, and what that was...

---

Sitting within a room, was a purple haired young woman. She had vacant eyes, she looked almost robotic in the way her eyes were looking around the area that she was in. Her eyes went to the sound of the door opening, and saw that Mayuri, a man that was dressed up in weird makeup, almost looking like a clown, though deranged, came walking into the lab.

His eyes went across the entire room, before casually going over to a picture on the wall while he began condescendingly speak at it, seemingly venting his anger out on the picture, saying things like "Bastard." and "You'll die." among other things like that.

The members of the 12th Division all grimaced at the sight of the man doing that, but it seemed like he had done that often.

"Mayuri-sama-"

"Did I say speak Nemu?" Nemu bowed her head without a word. "Heh, it seems that the ever so graceful Hollow has gone to the human world, and they want you to go Nemu."

Nemu tilted her head, but didn't say anything.

Mayuri's eyebrows twitched, and stormed over. He reached out his hand and yanked her up by her hair, making her wince.

"Didn't you hear me girl? Are your ears plugged up or something?"

"No, Mayuri-sama. I am, surprised. May I ask why I am being sent?"

"It's because it is quite strong along with you making contact with it, and they don't have anyone else that's free, since they're also going to different towns located nearby in case the Hollows there, they can't be sure exactly where it is since it is so great at hiding its spiritual energy. Also, they want you to check up on that Rukia Kuchiki girl while in the living world."

"Mayuri-sama, I have permission to leave?"

"Well, if it was up to me, no. But, I have to keep in their good books for the moment with these fools, so you'll be going. Also, you can check up on..." Mayuri's face turned dark, his hand tightening, and gave a piece of paper to Nemu. "...either way, just leave my sight Nemu."

Nemu got up, bowing her head, and walked away, she now had a mission, and according to the paper...

She was off to Karakura Town.

---

End chapter!

So Kon was introduced, and got drunk thanks to Zombie Chizuru, and danced around in Takumi's body, which Giselle, Yuzu and Orihime very much liked, but also saw that not everyone wants to get rid of him, with Takumi promising to build him a body for him to use. Also, Giselle's officially within their group now! And she goes to their school! Karin was forced to confront some of her growing feelings for Takumi via Kon flirting with her. Takumi also went into his inner world! And met his Zanpakuto spirit! Though he doesn't know her name yet. It also seems something is lurking there in his inner world, two things in fact, what those are we'll discover in the future! And with that Hollow that knew Takumi's name along with seemingly cloning itself, it's going to be quite interesting as it goes on~

Bambietta also was surprised by Takumi, one for creating a device to stop her explosions, but also because he saved her which conflicts with her mentality about Shinigami's being evil, not wanting to be saved by them among other things, and now she's got a new thing that is going to cause problems for Takumi and the others, and for those who read in the manga about what she's talking about, consider this an earlier version, but also quite dangerous version of that.

And at the end Nemu is now heading for Karakura town! And it seems Mayuri's got some...interesting things going on here, hinting to things later on. Also, thanks to everyone that voted, it seems that most voted for Giselle taking Uryu's place so yeah, she's gonna take his place! Sorry for those who voted against this. Though this is going to be fun, I've got some fun fights with Giselle vs some opponents! With her Zombie powers, it's gonna be quite fun.

Anyway, until next time, thanks for reading!

Takumi; Orihime, Rukia, Yuzu, Karin, Nemu, Giselle, Soi Fon, Yoruichi, Hiyori, Nelliel, Tier, Rangiku.
